Chapter 224 Max Your Stats!

After leaving the Army base, Zain had accepted the fact that he might not get the diamond reward. It was why he was so hesitant in the first place, but due to the quest details itself, there was a slight hope that there was no need for him to kill all three.

Originally the diamond quest had stated for him to only find the active meteorite, and after finding it, the real quest had begun. Thankfully, the military along with the Zombie Hunters were able to beat the last demon without their help, and in turn the quest had been completed.

'I wonder what the diamond card will give me. The rewards have been all over the place once they hit gold, so it should be something quite valuable.' Zain thought. 'But, the diamond quest was easier than I thought. I wonder, is it because I was given that quest a long time ago.

'Is that's the case, maybe I've just improved a lot, or it was the fact that everyone else just happened to be there when I discovered the meteorite.'

Thinking about it more, Zain wasn't so sure if he could beat three demons on his own, not without summoning his own army to help him, and even then, there would have been significant losses.

If he was to lose his super zombies, it would be a big hit to him in the long run.

'I don't know how long this journey is going to take, but while I'm here, I might as well see what the diamond card will give me.'

[Are you sure you would like to use the Diamond card now?]

[Yes]

[Diamond card has been used]

[You have received 'Max out stat!' Reward]

['Max out stat']

[The Max out stats is a one time use item. It can be used on yourself or anyone in your Horde. This will allow one stat to be maxed out to the user's capability.]

'It will max out one of my stats! This is… amazing!' Zain thought.

Although there was an initial excitement, that excitement started to dwindle for a moment, as he thought about it more. Because there were some questions that he was unable to get answers to, which might decide whether or not this reward was truly a great one or not.

One of them was, what was the max amount a stat could improve by? Every game Zain played there would be a cap, and since this was the real world, the cap had to be realistic. It wasn't as if he could max out his strength stat and suddenly destroy the world with one punch.

Currently, his highest stat was 15 and he was level 13. He had gained two levels, one each for defeating the two demons so he had two stat points to improve his own skills. Perhaps based on this, he could imagine the max stats for something being around 25 or 50 at the high end.

'That would improve my strength or speed by fivefold. It would make fighting against others a lot easier.'

For now Zain didn't use the two stat points he had gained, if he was going to max out one of his stats anyway it would be a waste, on top of that there was something else he was considering as well.

'This reward, it said, could be used on other members of the Horde as well. Does that mean I can use it on Skittle, or Cobra? If so, Cobra would become the fastest zombie or Skittle the strongest.'

There was one more thing Zain was thinking about, but he wasn't too sure about it, and that was using the stat to max out Skittle's intelligence. In doing so, it made Zain wonder, would Skittle become like him.

Capable of speech, remembering everything that happened, more normal. If he knew it was for certain, then maybe Zain would have already done it. Still, it conflicted with his new principles since this whole world went to crap.

It was the fact that it wasn't the best thing to do in terms of survival.

'It… was because of me that Skittle ended up this way. I promised myself that I would try to find a way to bring him back, and this might just do that. So why am I hesitating, was I always this selfish, or is it this world?' Zain thought.

Opening up his own stats again, Zain was ready to use the skill, he was aiming for the agility stat. It was one of his lowest stats, but he had power from the weapons. He was ready to use it but then hesitated for a second.

'If Skittle was in my situation… I bet he wouldn't have hesitated that much. After this, I'll continue just caring about myself, but I can't let this opportunity slip.'

Zain placed his hand on the ground, and a spark of light was seen in the tunnel. Sid and the others turned to look at it wondering what he was doing and soon a small zombie appeared.

Sid was less alarmed when he saw that it was a zombie but was still confused.

'Did he just summon a zombie, what is going on, is it some type of power, or something?' Sid thought. More so, why did Zain just randomly summon a zombie here of all places.

'Skittle, come back.' Zain said.

[Max out stat has been used]

[Horde member 'Skittle' Stats have been upgraded]

[Intelligence: 1 >>> 50]

After the reward had been used, a new light could be seen in Skittle's eyes as he turned his head and looked at Zain.

"Skittle… are you there? Can you understand me?" Zain asked.
