Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class
Chapter 188: Nanami
After Nanami came back to life, Nanoe held her younger sister tightly for a very long time.
Rover stood beside them watching for a moment, then decided not to disturb the two sisters anymore. He knew this moment wasn’t appropriate for him to stay. Nanoe was normally always gentle and composed, even able to use a smile to make others feel a chill, but right now she was simply an older sister who had just found back a lost loved one.
Rover also wasn’t skilled at handling these kinds of moving scenes.
He waved at Monica and Selina, then left the bedroom, casually closing the door behind him, leaving the private space for Nanoe and Nanami.
In the living room, the atmosphere was much quieter. Morie was standing in front of the table, her platinum hair falling onto her shoulders, her two slender legs standing firmly on the ground. After awakening the Titan bloodline, she no longer needed that wheelchair. Although her body was still somewhat weak from just having gone through a very draining battle, compared to her appearance of being confined to the wheelchair before, Morie now seemed to have truly escaped from an invisible cage.
She saw Rover come out and softly asked: "How is Sister Nanoe?"
"Crying with her younger sister." Rover sat down on the sofa, letting out a long sigh: "Let them have some quiet time."
Morie gently nodded.
She didn’t ask further, only walked over to the side of the tea table and helped Rover brew a cup of hot tea. Morie’s movements were still slightly slow, but very steady. Watching her walk around the room on her own, Rover suddenly felt that the resurrection item had truly been worth it.
Something that could make Nanoe cry.
Something that could add another living person to this room.
Something that could make the people beside him more bound to him.
Its value couldn’t be calculated with Omni Points alone.
Morie placed the cup of tea down in front of Rover.
"Thank you."
Rover picked up the cup and took a sip, then opened the information panel. Earlier, when he had just opened the Legendary Supply Crate, the [Eternal Heart] had captured all his attention, and the other items hadn’t yet been examined carefully.
The information panel very quickly appeared before him.
....
[Rewards from Legendary Supply Crate]
[1. Eternal Heart - Used.]
[2. Free Defense Tower Renovation Card x1.]
[3. Real Estate Certificate for Self-Selected Area x1.]
....
Rover looked at the two remaining items, his eyes slightly narrowing.
Only two things.
But their value was absolutely not low.
He opened the information for the [Free Defense Tower Renovation Card] first.
....
[Free Defense Tower Renovation Card]
[Type: Special Tool]
[Description: Can renovate one already-owned defense tower free of charge. The direction of renovation will be based on resources, tower structure, supplementary abilities, and the user’s requirements.]
[Note: Renovation does not equate to rank upgrade, but can change combat effectiveness or create additional special effects.]
....
After reading it, Rover immediately tossed the card to Morie.
Morie was slightly startled, hurriedly receiving it with both hands.
"You’re giving it to me?"
"Mm." Rover said very casually: "Defense tower matters have always been your responsibility. Just reading these description lines is already giving me a headache. You research it."
Morie looked at the card in her hand, her gaze slightly brightening. If it had been before, she might have said a few more words about the renovation direction, but after seeing that Rover had absolutely no intention of interfering, she only gently nodded.
"I understand. I will try to choose the option most beneficial for room 2705."
Rover nodded in satisfaction.
That was precisely why he liked Morie.
She was smart, quiet, understood her place, and also knew how to turn resources into real power.
Then, Rover’s gaze fell on the final item.
....
[Real Estate Certificate for Self-Selected Area]
[Type: Special Tool]
[Area: 1,000 square meters.]
[Description: After selecting an appropriate area, the owner can obtain legal ownership of that area.]
[Special Effect: After selection is complete, a radius of 1,000 meters surrounding the property will not be covered by fog.]
[Note: The selected area can become a secondary base, independent territory, or survival anchor point after the owner leaves the apartment complex.]
....
This time, Rover truly fell silent for quite a while.
A real estate certificate.
If only going by the name, this thing resembled an item of value from the old society. But in this world, where fog covered nearly everything outside the apartment complex, its true value far exceeded imagination.
A radius of 1,000 meters not covered by fog.
What did this mean?
It meant that if he later chose to leave the apartment complex after level 5, he would at least not be like other Survivors, stepping outside only to be swallowed by fog, then getting lost or dying in some corner no one knew about.
An area not covered by fog could become a base.
Could become a resource warehouse.
Could become a rest stop.
Could also become a starting point for him to build a faction outside the apartment complex.
Rover rubbed his chin.
This thing was very good.
Good enough to be slightly troublesome.
Because once the wrong location was chosen, its value would be wasted enormously.
Choosing near a water source could support long-term survival development.
Choosing near a resource zone could allow material extraction.
Choosing near an important movement route could create a transit station.
Choosing near a dangerous area could be used for hunting monsters or collecting rare items, but the risk would also be very great.
The more Rover thought, the more of a headache he felt.
"Leave this for Nanoe to handle."
Morie looked at the information panel and gently nodded.
"Sister Nanoe is indeed more suitable."
"That’s right." Rover took another sip of tea and lazily said: "After she finishes talking with Nanami, pass this information to her. I don’t want to personally deal with such troublesome location selection matters."
Morie smiled slightly.
"You really do trust Sister Nanoe."
"Of course." Rover said: "Trusting someone who is better than you in that area is a kind of wisdom."
Morie looked at him for a moment, then nodded.
"That’s very reasonable."
Rover felt quite pleased being complimented by Morie like that.
He leaned back against the sofa, just about to check his current Omni Points panel, when the system’s sound suddenly rang out before everyone.
[Ding!]
[Third round has ended.]
[Room lock status has been lifted.]
[Survivors may leave their rooms within the apartment complex range.]
[Rest time before next round: Calculating...]
Rover raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Finally opened the doors?"
Morie looked toward the room door, her gaze becoming more serious.
"There are still many ice monster corpses outside."
"I know."
Rover put down his tea cup and stood up.
For others, the battlefield after a round was just a chaotic mess that needed cleaning. For him, it was an untapped mine of Omni Points.
Waste was a shameful behavior.
Especially when what was being wasted belonged to him.
Rover walked toward the room door.
Morie asked: "Do you need me to come along?"
"No need. Rest for a bit, and take the opportunity to research that card." Rover waved his hand: "I’m just going to pick up some money."
Morie: "..."
That way of putting it sounded very crude.
But also very characteristic of Rover.
The door of room 2705 opened.
The remaining cold aura from the corridor immediately flooded in, carrying the scent of pale blue blood, the scent of ice fragments, and the scent of spider silk scorched by Thunder Dragon’s lightning. Rover stepped outside, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield of the 27th floor.
Ice still covered the ground.
Spider silk stretched throughout the corridor.
The corpses of ice Golems, ice Wolves, and ice Goblins were scattered everywhere. Some of the spoils had been dragged by Elith close to room 2705, but most of the corpses were still lying outside.
Elith stood near the wall, silently directing the spiders to collect whatever was still useful. The Ice Wolf General was still bound to one side, her condition more stable than before, but her azure blue eyes were still as cold as ever.
And Sunako...
Rover spotted her still hung on the wall like a human cocoon, the corner of his eye immediately twitching slightly.
But he temporarily didn’t deal with that matter.
Because before him there were still very many Omni Points.
