Chapter 114: Slot and Quality
In the midst of the serene forest, surrounded by towering trees and the gentle rustling of leaves, Zorvax and Ophelia were deep in discussion. They stood close together, their heads bent towards the system interface that glowed softly between them, illuminating their faces in its light.
---
[Corpse Quality is divided into 5 tiers: Trash, Low, Middle, High, and Top.]
[Each Tier represents the strength and potential of the corpse.]
---
Zorvax’s eyes moved methodically over the text, his brow slightly furrowed in concentration. As he read, a light of understanding began to shine in his eyes, and his posture straightened as the pieces of the puzzle fell into place. "Ah, this begins to make sense," he said, his voice imbued with a newfound clarity. "The quality of the corpse dictates the potential strength and evolution of the summon. Generals require high or above quality corpses – these possess greater inherent potential."
Ophelia, her expression mirroring Zorvax’s focused attention, leaned in closer to the screen. Her eyes darted across the words, absorbing every detail. "So, the better the quality, the stronger and more capable the summon," she deduced, her voice reflecting a mix of curiosity and understanding. "It’s about utilizing the inherent strengths that each tier offers."
As they took a moment to digest this crucial piece of information, Zorvax’s expression shifted from contemplation to strategic planning. He began to pace slowly, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze distant yet sharp. "This means we must be selective in our choices. The potential of our army hinges on the quality of the summons."
Ophelia watched him, her stance relaxed but attentive. "Quality over quantity," she mused, nodding in agreement. "We need to prioritize which corpses to use for each summon. It’s a strategic decision."
Zorvax stopped pacing and turned to face her, his expression serious yet animated by the strategic challenge they faced. "Indeed. We’ll need to explore and find the best candidates for our summons. It’s not just about finding corpses; it’s about finding the right ones."
Ophelia’s eyes sparkled with a tactical acumen, a trait that had become more pronounced in their time together. "This will add a whole new layer to our exploration and battles. Every encounter is an opportunity to strengthen our ranks."
As they talked about it, another part of the system’s message caught their attention:
---
[Slot Limit refers to how many summons can be activated based on the rank.]
[Summoning one general unlocks 10 slots for sergeants.]
[Summoning one sergeant unlocks 100 slots for soldiers.]
---
Zorvax’s brow furrowed slightly, a clear sign of his intense focus as he mulled over the new information. "So, it’s a structured hierarchy," he mused, his voice low and contemplative. "By summoning a general, we essentially unlock the potential to command a larger force."
Ophelia, her eyes fixed on the screen, nodded slowly, her expression mirroring Zorvax’s concentration. "Yes, and given that I’m your general summon, we already have a foundation to build upon." She stepped closer, her movements graceful and deliberate. "We have 10 slots for sergeants, and each sergeant can further lead a hundred soldiers. It’s a cascading effect."
Zorvax, turning to her, his expression softened into a faint smile. "Exactly, Ophelia. This system is more than just summoning allies; it’s about creating a structured army, each tier with a specific function and role." He paused, his hand gently touching his chin in a thoughtful gesture. "We can build a powerful force if we strategize correctly."
Ophelia’s eyes sparkled with the prospect of their plans coming to fruition. "With this system, we can have a diverse and dynamic army. Each summon could bring unique abilities to our force." Her tone was filled with excitement, tempered with a strategic focus.
Zorvax nodded in agreement, his gaze drifting to the surrounding forest as he visualized their potential army. "We’ll need to consider the qualities and strengths of each summon carefully. Our sergeants and soldiers should complement each other, forming a cohesive and effective unit."
Ophelia, following his gaze, added, "And with the tiered system, we can ensure a chain of command, maintaining order and efficiency in our ranks."
Then suddenly, Zorvax paused mid-step, a sudden idea sparking in his mind. He pivoted to face Ophelia, his demeanor shifting to one of resolute purpose. "You’re still at Tier 1, aren’t you?" he inquired, his voice laced with an urgency that underscored the importance of his question.
Ophelia, sensing the gravity of the moment, met his gaze squarely and nodded. "Yes, I am," she confirmed, her voice steady and imbued with a sense of readiness. The weight of his question was not lost on her; she understood that a significant decision was imminent.
Without missing a beat, Zorvax continued, "We’ve been collecting Zombie Points. It’s time we put them to use and evolve your abilities." His statement was direct, highlighting the necessity of action.
Ophelia’s reaction was immediate. Her eyes sparkled with a blend of excitement and anticipation at the prospect of evolving. She stood a little straighter, her resolve evident. "I’m ready," she declared, her tone reflecting her eagerness to embrace this new phase of her existence.
Turning his attention to the system interface, Zorvax’s fingers danced over the controls with practiced ease. The familiar list of options materialized in the air before them, the screen glowing with possibilities.

[User Status]
[Evolution List]
[System Shop]
[General List]
---
Selecting the ’General List,’ Zorvax quickly found Ophelia’s name and tapped on it. Two options materialized:
---
[Status]
[Evolution List]
---
Without hesitation, Zorvax chose the ’Evolution List.’ The screen expanded to reveal Ophelia’s potential evolutionary paths:
---
Evolution List:
[1. Zombie Shooter]
[Requirement to Evolve: 700 Evolution Points]
[2. Zombie Mage]
[Requirement to Evolve: 900 Evolution Points]
[3. Zombie Warrior]
[Requirement to Evolve: 800 Evolution Points]
[4. Zombie Elementalist]
[Requirement to Evolve: 1000 Evolution Points]
---
Zorvax studied the list, his expression contemplative. "The Zombie Elementalist seems the most potent evolution for you, Ophelia. It requires the most points, but I believe it will significantly enhance your capabilities."
Ophelia leaned in to look at the list, her eyes scanning the options. "Zombie Elementalist sounds powerful. I trust your judgment, Zorvax."
With a decisive touch, Zorvax selected the ’Zombie Elementalist’ evolution for Ophelia. The system processed his choice, and a surge of energy enveloped Ophelia. Her form shimmered, and in mere moments, she underwent a remarkable transformation.
