Apocalypse: Transmigrated with an Overlord System
Chapter 57: 100 Cup Noodles

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: 100 Cup Noodles

Liora grinned as she pressed down on the accelerator, her Hummer roaring forward like a beast unleashed. The street was filled with zombies, their grotesque forms staggering mindlessly until the blinding headlights illuminated them. Then—

SQUELCH. CRUNCH. SPLAT.

More system notifications poured in as she plowed through them.

Ding... [Successfully killed 10x Level 1 Rotter Zombies.] [Rewards gained: +75 EXP, +50 Strength, +25 Health, +2L Engine Oil.]

Liora whistled. "Damn, this is addicting."

Her stats kept rising at an incredible pace, but she didn’t slow down. She made sure to keep the zombies chasing her, baiting them into forming another massive horde before leading them straight into her vehicle’s path. It was brutal, efficient, and downright exhilarating.

She had never felt this powerful before. Even without stepping out of the car, she was crushing the undead like insects, turning them into nothing but experience points and loot. The constant stream of rewards kept her motivated.

Ding... [Successfully killed 15x Level 1 Rotter Zombies.] [Successfully killed 3x Level 2 Mutated Zombies.] [Successfully killed 2x Level 3 Hunter Zombies.]

[Rewards gained: +200 EXP, +150 Strength, +100 Agility, +100 Intelligence, +10L Fuel, +2 Emergency Food Packs, +1 Reinforced Armor Upgrade.]

Liora’s eyes widened at the new reward. "Reinforced Armor Upgrade? Hell yeah!"

[Host’s vehicle defense has increased. Durability enhanced by 30%.]

She chuckled, gripping the wheel tighter. She didn’t know that her vehicle could also be upgraded through rewards. Now she didn’t have to worry that one day she would have to say goodbye to this Hummer.

Then, a new notification appeared, and her breath hitched.

Ding... [Congratulations, Host has reached Level 3!]

Liora grinned as she scanned through the notifications. "Finally!" she cheered, gripping the wheel tighter. She had been grinding zombies all night, and now all that effort was paying off.

[All stats capacity increased! Excess stats are now properly integrated into the body. Host’s physical limits have been expanded.]

[New Rewards Unlocked:]

[Bonus Rewards for Rapid Level Progression:]

[Space Inventory size increased from 100 sq. feet → 500 sq. feet.]

[New Skill: Adaptive Reflexes]

[Bonus Reward: Enhanced Fuel Efficiency]

Liora felt a strange warmth rush through her body. A sudden surge of energy spread through her muscles, her mind feeling sharper and clearer. The excess strength and intelligence she had been unable to fully utilize were now settling into her system, no longer leaking away.

She flexed her fingers, clenching them into fists. "Whoa... this feels amazing."

[New Skill: Adaptive Reflexes – Host’s reaction time and combat instincts have been significantly improved. Now you can dodge, counter, and attack with enhanced precision.]

Liora smirked. "Now that’s useful."

The last reward also caught her attention.

[Enhanced Fuel Efficiency – Vehicle fuel consumption reduced by 10%. Travel longer distances with less fuel.]

She leaned back against the seat with a satisfied grin. "Not bad. Not bad at all."

She glanced at the space inventory notification, her delight growing. A 500 sq. feet space? That was massive compared to before.

"This... this is huge," she murmured, already thinking of how she could take full advantage of it. The more she could store, the easier survival would be.

As she drove, the horizon slowly brightened. Because of the dark atmosphere of the apocalypse, even the day looked gloomy, and the sun had almost disappeared from the sky. But one could still distinguish day from night. She wasn’t far from the base now.

Finally spotting a safe spot near an abandoned overpass, Liora pulled over. With a deep breath, she stepped out of the Hummer, stretching her stiff limbs. The cool morning air carried the faint scent of decay, but compared to the stench of zombies, it was practically fresh.

A thought crossed her mind, and she grinned. If her inventory space had increased, could she store the Hummer inside now?

Focusing on the vehicle, she mentally commanded it into her space. Instantly, the massive Hummer vanished. Liora blinked, stunned, before opening her inventory panel.

[Space Inventory (500 sq. ft.)] [Stored Items: 1x Monster-Tier Reinforced Hummer]

Her lips curled into a delighted smirk. She really did it!

The weight of finding a storage solution lifted from her shoulders. She had no idea where she would’ve kept the beast of a vehicle before. But now? It was safely tucked away, ready for use whenever she needed.

And it didn’t stop there.

Another notification popped up.

Ding...

[Detected Additional Item Stored: 1x Black Market Fully Functional Generator]

[Integrating Generator into System Functions...]

Liora’s eyes narrowed as the words on the screen shifted rapidly.

LOADING... ANALYZING POWER SOURCE...

OPTIMIZING ENERGY CONSUMPTION...

MERGING GENERATOR WITH LEVEL 1 FACTORY...

Ding!

[Integration Successful! Generator has been linked to your Level 1 Factory.]

Liora’s heart skipped a beat. "Finally." The thought had crossed her mind before about why the mission was still not completed when she had already acquired it. But it seemed she had to store it inside her space.

And it didn’t stop there.

Ding...

[Mission Complete: Infiltrate the Black Market]

[Mission Rewards:]

+200 Survival Points

+50 EXP

+1 Advanced Black Market Trade Token

+2 level 3 strength potion

Liora’s eyes widened. An Advanced Black Market Trade Token? That meant she could buy exclusive high-level goods that weren’t normally available.

She quickly scanned through the rewards, her mind racing with possibilities. She did not even do anything and just got 200 survival points.

Liora let out a low whistle. "Now this was worth it."

If she could, she would always do these side missions. They weren’t even dangerous, and the rewards were great. But it wasn’t in her hands to trigger these side missions—they activated automatically. If she could find a loophole to trigger them herself, that would be even better, Liora thought with an evil smile.

But before she could contemplate further...

Another notification appeared.

Ding!

[Mission Complete: Obtain a Fully Functional Generator from the Black Market]

[Mission Rewards:]

+500 Survival Points

+100 EXP

Unlocked: Level 1 Factory

50% Stats Booster (Duration: 24 hours)

+1 Lucky Draw Chance

+5L Clean Water

+20 Canned Goods

Liora couldn’t believe the sheer amount of rewards. Not only had she leveled up, but now she had unlocked a factory? Her hands trembled slightly as she tapped on the new panel that appeared.

[Level 1 Factory - Status: Activated] [Current Production Rate: 100 Cup Noodles per Week]

[Power Source: Generator (Functional)] [Storage Capacity: 10,000 Units]

Liora burst into laughter. "Cup noodles?!"

Don’t tell her it was because she had gotten that cup noodles machine. So the factory was only capable of making it.

[Correct, host has to acquire different machines to mass-produce different kinds of products.]

She shook her head in disbelief, but at the same time, she couldn’t complain. Food was food. And if this factory could mass-produce it, then she wouldn’t have to worry about starving anytime soon.

Running a hand through her hair, she exhaled deeply. Today had been insane. So many things happened in a single day.

Her jeep turned into a zombie-killing machine. She farmed more EXP in a day than she had in a week. Her inventory space expanded. She got a factory. She even got a damn generator to power it.

A slow smirk spread across her lips. If this was just Level 1, she couldn’t wait to see what Level 2 had in store for her.
