Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 49: Item Recall Skill Scroll

[Seeing the messages in the regional chat group, you were quite confused.]

[Wanting to obtain information, you decided to chat in the regional chat group. You also treated it as a time waster, so you didn’t mind chatting with them even if there was no information.]

{Zenith Zone Zane: Don’t wooden chests have loaves of bread or a 500ml bottle of water? I’ve tested, and the chances of obtaining them are slightly higher than those of common material resources.}

{Otter: While that may be true, not everyone will get that. From what I’ve noticed, most players landed on a station world with train upgrade resources or even no resources at all. Stations with food are rare.

And even if one obtains food from wooden chests, that isn’t enough to survive, especially when we expend a lot of energy fighting monsters or surveying the station world.}

{Manager Kevin: Those who have sufficient food are even hoarding food. We don’t know what Extreme Event we’ll get, so most people are preparing for enough food to pass through that.

Yesterday, there were those who had traded their food and water for Iron-grade weapons, so most people here don’t lack a usable weapon but food and water.}

[Seeing their lack of food, you wondered, ’Should I resume my business of selling food again?’]

[’In the Global Ocean Survival World, I had lacked raft upgrade materials, so I did that. But now, with Jade’s Equivalent Exchange talent, I no longer need to do that, so I haven’t thought of doing it yesterday.’]

[You weighed the pros and cons of doing it but realized it’s all beneficial to you.]

[Creating food costs nothing to you. So if you get something from an item that costs you nothing, isn’t that guaranteed profit?] 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

[’I might as well do it. Jade has limited energy, and it will be better if I get so many common and uncommon resources that she won’t need to use her talent for them.’]

[’The best way to use Jade’s talent is to only exchange it for stronger and rarer items. Exchanging for weaker and more common ones is a waste.’]

[You weren’t the type to be indecisive, so you immediately headed to the trading market.]

[As expected, there weren’t many foods and water for trade, and those that were listed for trading had exorbitant prices that one might think they just put those up there to brag and flex.]

[This time, with the assistance of the Hint Prompt to know the price list for each specific food and water, you no longer relied on the World Will’s recommended selling price.]

[The Hint Prompt’s price list was made based on the bottom line of those who could trade while ensuring you get the most profit.]

[Its price wasn’t definitely as fair as you did before in the Global Ocean Survival World, but you no longer cared since you decided to treat these guys as NPCs unless they had some use or worthwhile friendship like King King’s case.]

[You weren’t as desperate for materials as you were before since you now have Jade. Whether they buy or starve to death was no longer your worry.]

{Zenith Zone Zane: I’ve put up ready-to-eat food and bottles of water in the trading market. Anyone interested can trade train upgrade materials or useful blueprints and items in exchange for it.}

{Zenith Zone Zane: I won’t accept any bargaining! Trade it if you want, and don’t if you can’t. Anyone who sends useless private messages and friend requests will be blocked!}

[After you sent that message in the regional chat group, you no longer cared what they’d say.]

[Remembering someone planned to exchange a Silver-grade skill for a month’s worth of food, you decided to send a private message to Mister Left.]

{Zenith Zone Zane: Send me the skill description of that Silver-grade skill. If it’s acceptable, I’ll trade you a month’s worth of food.}

[Not long after, Mister Left replied to your private message.]

{Mister Left: Big shot, here’s the skill description. Please trade with me. My innate talent just happened to require too much food consumption, or else I wouldn’t ask for this much food.}

{Mister Left sent the skill description for the "Item Recall" skill.}

{Item Recall (Initial Silver-grade Skill Scroll):

A practical skill scroll that grants the user the ability to retrieve items they have intentionally thrown, causing the object to return directly to the user.

Effect 1: Allows the user to recall any item they have personally thrown within a short time window, causing it to travel back to the user’s hand or vicinity.

Effect 2: The recalled item follows a direct, unobstructed path back to the user, ignoring minor terrain interference.

Effect 3: Consumes negligible energy when recalling lightweight or non-hostile items.

Limit: It only works on items intentionally thrown by the user. You cannot recall items that are sealed, destroyed, bound by stronger external forces, or actively restrained by another entity. Moreover, recalled items lose any additional momentum or damage potential upon return.

Cooldown: None. Minor stamina or spirit consumption depending on item weight and material.}

[When you looked at the item description, you felt it was better to have it than not.]

[Anyway, trading for it would only require a month’s worth of food, which costs you nothing at all.]

[With that thought in mind, you traded with Mister Left for that Item Recall skill scroll.]

[Mister Left didn’t change his mind midway, such as asking for a higher price, so the trade ended with both of you satisfied.]

[After obtaining the skill scroll, you didn’t hesitate to use it, obtaining the Item Recall skill.]

[While you were browsing the regional chat group, you and Jade eventually finished your breakfast and returned to the living room.]

[Playing games in the living room, time passed until you both heard a notification sound.]

[-Ding!]

{There’s only 3 minutes left before the mandatory station stop. Please prepare to disembark.}

[-Ding!]

{Station Pathways Ability activated!}

{The train is about to arrive at a station world. Please choose one of the four stations.}
