When Lucien clicked on the Crystal Bomb recipe, he saw the sa warning as before, which stated that the explosives’ power and range would be equivalent to those of the crystals used. After clicking "Create," he saw that the recipe was much more complex... There were several sub-recipes for many types of explosives, and their power would vary depending on the crystal level used.
[Create Crystal Bomb:]
-Fragnt Bomb - Details 1
-Light Bomb - Details 1
-Acid Bomb - Details 1
-Poison Bomb - Details 1
-Concussion Bomb - Details 1
-Fla Bomb - Details 1
-Freeze Bomb - Details 1
Lucien was imdiately interested in the last two types. He clicked on them first, only to discover he didn’t have the necessary ingredients...
For the Fla and Freeze bombs, level 3 or higher cores with this type of Universal Force were required. Without understanding what that ant, and after receiving no response from the system. Lucien focused on the first one on his list, the cluster bomb.
When Lucien finished creating it, sothing very similar to a hand grenade appeared in his hands. It fit in the palm of his hand and was red, with a texture reminiscent of reinforced leather. Lucien swallowed hard and began to tremble at the thought of holding a real grenade in his palm...
He had never even held a firearm in real life, but now he was holding sothing that must have been even more lethal...
Looking more carefully, he saw two pins: a smaller one and a larger one. Knowing what he was going to ask, the system stepped in:
[It is currently deactivated; it will not explode under any circumstances. Simply press the smaller pin and it activates the grenade, allowing you to detonate it remotely through the system, or through a pre-programd order from . The second, larger pin transforms it into sothing similar to a modern sensor mine. Anyone approaching within 2 ters will cause it to explode.]
"Does the range of this sensor increase for bombs made with higher-level crystals?"
[It does, but you can also control the range by pushing the larger pin in. If you just push it in a little, you can ensure the explosion is closer and more lethal. But I don’t recomnd this, as it would cause the loss of a lot of biological material. So always keep the detonation detection level as high as possible for each grenade.]
Lucien reflected on the last piece of information before the system added another piece of extrely important information.
[Rember that the grenade created by the system’s ability doesn’t recognize you as a target, so it won’t activate the range-based detonation when you’re nearby. But the grenade will still recognize your pet. In this case, if you’re close, you could still be seriously injured...]
"I’ll rember this..."
After spending most of the afternoon testing his skill, night fell. Lucien decided to test the grenade’s power tomorrow. Repeating his daily routine, he went to sleep with the onset of darkness, even though it was now light...
The next morning, Lucien received the sa notifications from the previous night, informing him that all the survivors in the building were alive and well, with no new fatalities having occurred the previous day.
Taking advantage of the fact that day had barely dawned, Lucien left the building accompanied by Mr. Mustache. He knew that the mont this giant cat was spotted, he would have to explain a lot. This ti, he wanted to let the feline go hunting in the streets to see if he would be more effective. The system also warned him that now that the animals were evolving so rapidly, it was even more important to eliminate them all from the area to prevent future disasters...
After descending to the ground floor, Lucien followed the path to the building’s recreation area. He did this because he wanted to avoid the people from the convenience store and the doorman by going through the main entrance. To do this, he would use a back door used by employees. Of course, it was locked, but Lucien now had the key to this place after "borrowing" all the keys from the building’s administrator’s office.
Unlocking the door that led directly to the street, Lucien carefully looked through a small crack to make sure there were no zombies or monsters near the door, and only then did he let Mr. Mustache out.
The cat wasted no ti, starting to sniff and peeking under cars, then ducking into dark alleys in search of prey. Lucien didn’t stay on the street for long; he approached a vehicle and placed one of the alarm clocks he’d saved in his inventory before the apocalypse began, leaving it under the vehicle, programming it to go off at 2 p.m. Only then did he place the cluster bomb on the hood of the car and hide it with an old food container.
Returning to the building less than 30 minutes later, Mr. Mustache returned carrying a red-eyed seagull, which Lucien quickly stored in the materials inventory, afraid of being seen...
He looked and observed through the system that this ti, in addition to the dead animal his cat had brought, he had killed five others.
When he returned to his apartnt, Lucien ca face to face with Mr. Razdan at his door. The doorman was also surprised to see Lucien returning from sowhere, but scread and dropped the box he was holding when he saw the giant cat behind him.
"Wh--what is this? How did this monster get into the building?"
"Don’t worry, Mr. Razdan, this is Mr. Mustache. My cat, don’t you rember him?"
"Your house cat? Impossible! How did it get so big?" he asked, still scared and keeping well away from Lucien.
Lucien crouched down, looking at the box the doorman had thrown on the floor. It was filled with supplies, which Lucien assud were his share of the loot from the empty apartnts. But he still suspected the doorman must have already taken many things from it...
"Don’t worry, despite his appearance, he won’t bite anyone, and he’s still the sa as always. In fact, it’s good that you know he’s there. I always take him to hunt the infected rats that are invading the building through the underground parking lot..."
Still worried that the cat might attack him, the Doorman remained silent and kept his distance until Lucien picked up the box and re-entered the apartnt. Only then did he wipe the sweat from his forehead and run down the stairs back to the ground floor...
Lucien waited until almost two in the afternoon before using his binoculars to check the bomb planted in the street behind the building. When the alarm went off, three zombies were attracted by the sound and approached the vehicle where the bomb was...
"System, detonate!"
With the order received, the system detonated the bomb, creating a red mist of blood, causing several bone fragnts to hit the three zombies near the car head-on.
[Eliminated a level 0 zombie!]
[Obtained 2 Creation Points!]
One of the zombies was hit squarely in the head and fell dead; the other was wounded in the chest and walked away as if nothing had happened. The last one lost only an arm, and perhaps suffered so facial wounds? Lucien couldn’t see from so far away.
The car’s windows were blown out by the impact, and its front hood was dented and pierced by nurous bone fragnts where the bomb had been.
"The firepower isn’t bad... If I can get more ingredients at a faster rate, I can test all the others to—"
[Host to the AM and FM signal frequencies are active again, but only within the city of Kaelor!]
"Seriously? Is it the military?" Lucien asked excitedly.
[I can’t identify the source; whoever did this is using various devices around the city and even outside the city to scramble the signal.]
"Well, it doesn’t matter who activated it, right? I was able to save materials and didn’t need to create the Biological Antenna..."
[I still recomnd creating it when possible, as the Biological Antenna will guarantee greater security for your communications, in addition to allowing to listen in on all communications from anyone using your signal...]
"Wow! I’m going to look like a real spy with this tool..."
Lucien pulled his radio from his inventory, anxiously awaiting the clock to strike 3 p.m. Since he had agreed to communicate with his friends every day at this specific ti...
And without delay, at 3 p.m. sharp, a childish female voice ca from the radio. Followed by a childish male voice trying to sound gruff.
"Lucien and Will, are you listening?"
"Lucien and Nina, are you listening?"
"Yes, I hear you... It’s good to hear your voices..."

AN:Once again, this Chapter has the author’s notes at the end, and paragraph comnts. I recomnd reading the work on the original website (WebNovel) for a better reading experience with more system details.
I know so pirated websites can copy and paste the comnts at the end of the Chapter. But you still won’t understand so of them, because they’re only at the end of the Chapter, completely out of place, creating an excess of aningless information.
I make extensive use of this tool in my system novels, so that extra information about systems and statuses doesn’t add extra words to the book or beco an unnecessary information dump for those who don’t want to read them.
