C130 He Grabbed the Lottery and Decided to Gamble the Police Station Was a Day Away!(2)

Unlocking the Gasoline Tank Crafting Recipe.

Upon mastering it, Tang Bing discovered several related crafting formulas. One allowed for converting a large gasoline barrel into 600 smaller tanks, another for creating gasoline from animal fat and murky water, and a third for producing gasoline from oil shale.

With the Gasoline Barrel Crafting Recipe, you can combine 600 gasoline tanks to form a larger barrel!

Tang Bing was swimming in gasoline. Plus, he could always replenish his supply from the numerous gas stations lining the city roads after depleting his stash.

Thus, for the foreseeable future, these crafting skills seemed superfluous. That is, unless he somehow managed to exhaust every drop of gasoline in the city's stations—a scenario that seemed highly unlikely.

Jade Bracelet (Exquisite): Defense 1. Grants perpetual calmness when equipped.

The perpetual calmness trait looked appealing, but the defense boost was a mere point. And to wear it meant automatically swapping out the scrap iron glove.

For the sake of his defense and safety, Tang Bing decided against wearing the bracelet, though it would make a nice accessory at home.

Sapphire Ring (Outstanding): Increases fishing success rate by 50% when equipped.

Tang Bing was baffled by the outstanding sapphire ring's attribute. A boost to fishing success rate was great, but only if there were clean waters to fish in! Finding an unpolluted river or pond was a challenge these days, rendering the ring's benefit somewhat moot.

Still, it was an outstanding piece adorned with a precious sapphire, so he decided to keep it regardless of its immediate utility.

Diamond Watch (Exquisite): Defense 3. Enhances the wearer's defense by 10%.

The skill looked promising, but the defense it offered was minimal. Should he come across a set of gear with truly impressive attributes, he might consider forgoing a glove to benefit from the 10% defense enhancement.

The Golden Rabbit, crafted from pure gold, boasted significant decorative appeal.

It was a pure art piece, made of gold, and thus, worth taking.

Champion Medal: Strength +10, bare-handed attack damage +20%. This stolen medal from a local boxing champion could endow one with incredible power.

What a find! It boosts strength by +10 and increases unarmed damage by 20%. But let's be real, nobody's going to go fist-to-fist with zombies! So the extra strength is handy, but it's not a game-changer.

Tang Bing, possessing the Ocean's Heart, valued his enhanced perception far more than a mere +10 to strength. Mulling it over, he beckoned Zhao Dagang closer.

"Bing, what's this?" Zhao Dagang eyed the medal Tang Bing was offering with curiosity.

"Something great!" Tang Bing replied, deftly removing the gold necklace from around Zhao Dagang's neck.

"Hey, hey—my necklace!" Zhao Dagang reached out to snatch it back, but a stern look from Tang Bing had him standing down promptly.

"Put this medal on!" Tang Bing said, tossing the necklace to Liang Hui without a second thought.

Zhao Dagang watched Liang Hui catch his necklace and decided he was okay with the trade-off. Had it been Sun Meng, he would have put up a fight.

Once adorned with the medal, Zhao Dagang felt a surge of power. "Bing, I feel way stronger! Is it just me?"

"It's no illusion," Tang Bing assured him coolly. "That piece is a gem. Keep it on; it'll beef you up!"

"Got it!" Zhao Dagang beamed, then turned to Liang Hui. "Huihui, you can wear my gold necklace!"

"That's so tacky!" Liang Hui scoffed, tossing the necklace in with other loot.

"Come on, give it a chance!" Zhao Dagang pleaded, following her to make his case.

Sun Meng watched with envy, her gaze towards Tang Bing as forlorn as a puppy's.

Tang Bing could guess her thoughts. He had intended to give her a sapphire ring, but reconsidered, not wanting to send the wrong message. Instead, he picked up a diamond necklace, devoid of any special properties, and handed it to her.

"Wow!" Sun Meng was overjoyed, slipping the necklace around her neck. She was about to seek Tang Bing's opinion on her new accessory when she noticed he had already moved on to the police equipment room.

You've discovered a leather gun holster!

You've discovered handcuffs!

You've found the handcuff key!

You've come across an ordinary automatic pistol!

You've obtained 35 pistol bullets!

You've secured 18 sniper rifle bullets!

You've amassed 33 shotgun shells!

You've acquired 10 tranquilizer darts!

You've gathered 53 units of gunpowder!

You've located a police car key!

You've unearthed an exquisite pistol magazine!

You've learned firearm expertise!

You've mastered military boxing!

The leather holster makes carrying your pistol more convenient.

Handcuffs are standard issue for police when apprehending criminals, but sometimes they're used in more unusual situations.

The handcuff key is essential for unlocking those cuffs!

Though these three items may not seem immediately useful, they're worth holding onto for future use.

Another ordinary automatic pistol has been added to the arsenal, bringing the team's total count, including the one in Tang Bing's possession, to five! Unfortunately, no new silencers were found, and with a limited supply of bullets, firearms will have to be used sparingly.

A variety of ammunition has been found, including tranquilizer darts! However, without a tranquilizer gun to fire them, they won't be of immediate use.

Tranquilizer guns are ineffective against zombies. The sole purpose of these darts and the weapon is for targeting other survivors or uninfected animals.

With 53 units of gunpowder, creating simple explosives should be a breeze. More homemade bombs can be crafted upon returning, and they're sure to come in handy!

The police car key seems somewhat redundant. Despite the allure of driving a sleek police car, it's impractical for Tang Bing if it can't carry supplies.

The firearm knowledge and military boxing are skill books. After studying them, firearm proficiency has been elevated to level 2, enhancing gun damage by 20%.

With the same caliber pistol, the damage inflicted by Tang Bing and others is noticeably different, thanks to the skills acquired. The advantages are significant.

Military boxing has improved his hand-to-hand combat technique by one level, boosting unarmed damage by an additional 10%!

This increase mirrors the benefits of the skill book, enhancing his martial arts prowess! With the new knowledge, Tang Bing's unarmed damage has surged by 20%, even if it might not seem particularly significant at first glance.

After rummaging through every other drawer in the room, only a massive gun cabinet remained.

It was locked tight, and the key was nowhere to be found. There had to be valuable items inside; he was determined to break in and see for himself!

Opening this steel cabinet was no easy feat. Tang Bing first tried hammering it with a goat horn hammer, but the cabinet's durability barely budged. Switching tactics, he grabbed an iron pickaxe and gave it a go, finding it far more effective than the hammer.

With renewed vigor, Tang Bing relentlessly pounded the cabinet with the pickaxe. The jarring noise quickly drew Zhao Dagang, Sun Meng, and Liang Hui to the scene.

"Bing, what in the world are you up to?" Zhao Dagang inquired, stepping into the room. "That racket's loud enough to draw every zombie in the vicinity!"

"No zombies nearby!" Tang Bing, confident in his sensory abilities and having scoped out the area beforehand, reassured them.

"Does bashing it like this even work?" Sun Meng wondered aloud, "Besides, we don't even know what's inside."

"Shouldn't we try finding the key?" Liang Hui suggested gently.

Tang Bing internally questioned their helpfulness, responding with a hint of irritation, "Either lend a hand or keep gathering supplies. Don't just stand there causing a commotion!"

"Bing, we'd like to help, but we're empty-handed," Zhao Dagang explained, shrugging.

"Do you really want to help?" Tang Bing, feeling the strain in his hands, turned to face them.

All three nodded in agreement.

"Fine!" Tang Bing decisively pulled a goat horn hammer and two crowbars from his virtual backpack. "If you're going to help, then help me smash this thing!"

Zhao Dagang accepted the crowbars, kept one for himself, and handed the other to Liang Hui, who nearly fumbled it due to its weight.

With the crowbars distributed, Sun Meng took the hammer.

"Good!" Tang Bing flexed his fingers, then gripped the pickaxe firmly once more. "Let's do this! Everyone, smash away!"

On his command, Zhao Dagang, Sun Meng, and Liang Hui swung their tools with all their might, clanging against the gun cabinet in a concerted effort.

Naturally, Zhao Dagang was the strongest of the bunch. Sun Meng and Liang Hui did their best to smash too, but the damage they inflicted was minimal. Tang Bing didn't hesitate to jump into the fray. United in their efforts, the four of them concentrated their attacks on the sturdy gun cabinet.
