Chapter 55: End, Dominate

Time passed day by day. Zhou Chen met the others during the last few days of the Survival mission and took turns dealing with the attacking monsters. They shared the tasks of finding firewood or fetching water until the last moment.
During this period, they encountered group attacks of the monsters which they had expected, but their combat strength was not low. They relied on the trees in the forest to cover their blind sides and fight and retreat. They spent some time killing all the monsters and obtained some food and equipment.
Zhou Chen’s luck was quite ordinary. After the Frost Necklace, only an iron staff dropped, but he obtained a lot of food, so he did not starve.
To their surprise, the tree demons in the forest did not attack them.
Zhou Chen and the others heaved a sigh of relief. If all the tree demons in the forest were to riot, there was a high chance that they would be completely wiped out.
“The system is quite human! These trees are clearly monsters, but as long as we don’t provoke them, they are quite peaceful.”
On the last night, the ponytail girl who was sitting near the fire and eating a white bread said.
Zhou Chen’s fourth official Survival mission, which was the longest one, was successfully passed. The survival rate was not low, and only two of the six people died.
[You have completed the Survival mission. Reward: 1 Physique Scroll (Low Bronze), 1 Small Canoe (Low Bronze), 1 Cold Resistance Potion (Low Bronze)]
“I got a canoe…”
Zhou Chen was a little speechless about the reward. He, who had already finished the Survival mission and returned to the sofa in the living room of his new rented room, did not choose to take this reward out to take a look. He only looked at it a few times in his inventory before using the Physique scroll. Then, he took out the cold resistance potion to take a look.
[Cold Resistance Potion
Type: Low Bronze potion
After consumption, it can remove coldness and increase resistance to freezing damage.
The more you consume, the longer the effect will be. A bottle can guarantee a day’s effect.]
“Potion to deal with special situations might be useful in the future.”
Zhou Chen returned the bottle of cold resistance potion to his inventory and began to check the other items.
“Spear, claymore, machete, round shield, sword, ax, iron staff, healing potion X2, mask, lighter, coke bottle, candle, roasted potato,… There are also over a hundred thousand Dragon Country bills.”
Zhou Chen had tested the Dragon Country bills in the inventory space. The system had limitations on it. It could not be taken out of the inventory space during the Survival mission, possibly because it was not produced by the system.
“I can sell a few weapons, and I will soon have enough money for the fee.”
Zhou Chen thought for a moment and placed the iron staff and sword on the trading area, marking the price.
Finally, he opened his character interface to confirm the change in attributes.

“It’s still at the low bronze level. I wonder when it will advance to the middle bronze level.”
After doing all this, Zhou Chen took off his tattered desert camouflage clothes and washed up.
“Today is Saturday, I don’t have to go to work.”
Because it was the weekend, he did not need to take leave. He slept after showering.
Although this Survival mission was the longest he had experienced, he was not very hungry after coming out, so he did not eat before sleeping.
He woke up after sleeping for more than four hours. It was noon, and he found that his sword was sold. His savings had broken through 200,000.
“I can pay the fee now. 200,000 in one go might attract attention at my age, I should pay in installments.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen gave up on paying all at once and prepared to pay in installments.
He put on clean pants and a shirt and left his room. He took out tens of thousands of Dragon Country bills from his inventory and deposited them in his bank card. Then, he went to the Yang City Orphanage to settle the payment.
After spending some time, he basically solved the issue left behind by the original owner.
When he was returning from the orphanage, he received a call from Boss Liu.
“Little Zhou, that old geezer Wang has sent someone to challenge the dojo again. Are you free today?”
“I’m free. I’ll be there in a while.”
As the assistant dojo leader, Zhou Chen was okay with overtime occasionally.
Before long, he arrived at Weijiang Dojo and saw a muscular young man of medium height waiting inside. This young man was wearing a black martial arts suit. He had a buzz cut and looked a little ferocious.
“Are you the one who wants to do a dojo challenge?”
Zhou Chen’s heart was as calm as water when facing this seemingly ferocious young man. After all, he had killed several people, and his mental state was different from ordinary people.
“Yes. Let’s cut the crap. When can we begin?”
The muscular young man was not polite in his speech.
“Let’s do it now.”
This challenger did not like talking nonsense, and it was the same for Zhou Chen. He walked to the side of the ring and jumped over the ropes.
The muscular young man’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw this jump. He also exerted strength and jumped onto the ring, but he was clearly not as smooth as Zhou Chen.
This was not because this young man was weak, but because the stage was quite high and was surrounded by ropes. It was very difficult to jump onto it directly. At least, ordinary people could not do it.
“Begin!”
The moment this young man entered the ring, he immediately announced the start of the battle. He raised his hands to protect his head, while agilely moving toward Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not evade the aggressive young man and faced him in the same battle stance. He could tell that this person was stronger than the previous one, and was worth fighting seriously.
Ten minutes later.
Only Zhou Chen was still standing on the ring. The muscular young man had already fallen to the ground due to exhaustion.
His arms and legs had already deformed his tight black martial arts suit due to the swelling. There were also some bruises on his face, making him look a little miserable.
Zhou Chen was in a much better state. His body was covered in sweat, but there was only a slight swelling in some areas.
“I lost… I’ll challenge you in two months.”
Before long, the muscular young man got up and admitted his failure. Then, he nimbly left the Weijiang Dojo.
Zhou Chen also left after a short rest. He had originally planned to come over for training today, but he could pass it for now since he went through a fight.
“The physique enhanced by the system is really strong. My combat skills are clearly inferior to his, but because I’m more resistant, stronger, and have faster reaction speed as well as high perception, I dominated this strong opponent.”
This battle allowed Zhou Chen to see his current level.
