The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 25: One Star Jeep

Just after 5 minutes, the red sphere that was surrounding the vehicle began to dissipate. And with its disappearance, a brand new vehicle appeared in front of their eyes.

Behold, the futuristic marvel that was the upgraded jeep. The vehicle that appeared in front of them made the trio to stare blankly at it. None of them could believe that this was the Jeep that was standing there previously.

The vehicle that appeared in front of them was a combination of things that gave a futuristic vibe. Just from the external view of it, all those car lovers would definitely fall in love with it at first sight. As for those who were not into cars, they would definitely be forced to have an interest in the cars.

Just then, another system prompt appeared in front of Henry. This was the description of the vehicle that had appeared in front of him.

[Upgraded One Star Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara:

This extraordinary vehicle combines unrivaled defenses and astonishing speed, pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering to new heights.

Touch-sensitive control panels and tactile feedback interfaces allow for seamless integration between man and machine, ensuring effortless navigation and optimal performance.

To further enhance its versatility, this futuristic jeep is equipped with adaptive terrain response systems. Advanced sensors detect changes in the landscape, automatically adjusting suspension, tire traction, and the distribution of power among the wheels to maximize control and maneuverability in even the harshest environments.

In summary, the upgraded jeep represents the pinnacle of automotive innovation. With its impenetrable defenses, lightning-fast speed, and cutting-edge technology, this extraordinary vehicle is a culmination of human ingenuity and engineering prowess.

Whether traversing hostile terrains or confronting formidable adversaries, this jeep stands as a testament to the limitless possibilities of automotive advancement.

Note: With the current abilities of the Jeep, it can easily handle anything that is below level 8 Rank O.

For the next upgrade, 100 kg of steel and 50 kg of aluminum will be required. Added to this will be 10,000 level 5 mutation crystals.]

Henry sucked in a cold breath as he read the description about the vehicle that was in front of him. He had never expected the simple upgrade that he had intended to carry on the vehicle was going to be of this kind of level.

But, there was one thing that made Henry dumbfounded. That was of course, the price that was quoted by the system for the next upgrade. Even though he was excited that there was another upgrade that could be done on the vehicle, but the price was just too much.

During these past few hours, not to mention a level 5 apocalyptic creature, there was no way that Henry had come into contact with any creature that was at level 2.

And the price that the system had quoted was actually 10,000 level 5 mutation crystals. Wasn't that daylight robbery? Everything else was okay with the steel and aluminum. At least those things could be easily found. But, what about the mutation crystals?

That was something that meant that, he would have to kill at least 10,000 level 5 apocalyptic creatures, or, 100 level 6 apocalyptic creatures, or a single level 7 apocalyptic creatures. And even if Henry possessed the ability to deal with them, he had actually not even met with them.

But, when he thought about the description that he had been given by the system about the upgrade that had been done on the vehicle, he had no choice but to swallow up his dissatisfaction.

With great expectation, he walked towards the vehicle. The moment that he touched it, he felt a lot of information appearing inside his mind. All of this information was related on how to control the machine that was in front of him.

In the information, he found out how to easily control the vehicle. Added to the fact that even his muscles could easily adapt, then, it was as if the car that was in front of him was very familiar to him.

"Henry, what kind of skill is that? No, what kind of profession allows you to do that?" Adam asked as he went around the upgraded Jeep, looking at it with great interest. He couldn't believe that something like this really existed.

Even Sarah looked at Henry with expectations in her eyes. Her ears were sharp, not to miss a single detail about it. She was a bit curious about the professions that Henry possessed.

"This is just a simple trick. Though, I will admit that I didn't expect the results to be this way. After all, this is the first time that I am trying this." Henry replied as he opened at the car's door.

Immediately after that, he entered the car with great familiarity. With the ability of the system to grant him the very basic level skills of controlling or utilizing tools, even though it was considered basic to the system, it could be considered an epitome of skills to the current human race.

Inside the car, Henry could see that the space inside had been increased. Even though it was not by a very great margin, it was still quite spacious than before.

Additionally, the seats of the car were quite comfortable to sit on. It was also at this moment that finally, Henry began realizing something.

'System, I can see that there are several areas that have gotten an improvement. And, there are other things that have appeared here, but they didn't exist in the car before. Where did they come from if the materials that I collected didn't include them?' Henry asked the system.

[The reason as to why that happened is simply because, the mutation crystals that have been charged from the host were utilized to purchase all these items.]

[So, if the host intends to reduce the price set by the system, then he can continuously provide several types of materials, that can be utilized to upgrade whatever it is that the host wants to upgrade.]

[But, the host has to note that, if the system decides on the price, then that implies that the materials that are required for the upgrade are not within the surroundings of the host. For that reason, the host will have to purchase these things from the system store.]

Henry finally got an understanding of how the system upgrade function worked. It seemed that he could get everything from the system, in case he wanted to upgrade anything.

But, since there were going to be other things that were outside and were going to be considered free, then, Henry was not going to waste his mutation crystals to purchase these items from the system store.

Both Adam and Sarah were amazed when they got inside the car. They had never seen such a modernized vehicle, even in the movies that they had watched before.

Henry on the other hand didn't react to them. Instead, he began testing the functions of the vehicle. One by one, he began testing the holographic screen.

He had already realized that, from inside the car, he could only see what a normal driver could. But, when he decided to utilize the holographic screen, he could see 360° of the car.

Perhaps it might be considered more than that, simply because he could see underneath and above the car as well. Henry couldn't help but click his tongue at how impressive the system was.

And, what made him curious the most was the fact that, this was actually considered a single star level. With Henry already coming in to contact with the issue about the star ranking, he of course knew that there existed 10 stars.

At this moment, Henry couldn't help but think about the possibilities that could come with a vehicle that was ranked at 10 stars.

But, he was forced to give up on those thoughts considering that, even the second Star already had so many difficult conditions for him to fulfill. After all, it was not going to be something easy for him to kill 10,000 level 5 apocalyptic creatures.

"Henry, you haven't forgotten about the monster tide have you? We have already spent about 30 minutes here. If we don't go back to the facility soon, we might actually get caught up by the monster tide before we leave the place." Adam reminded after a period of satisfaction for his curiosity.
