"Choose the one with the highest value. If you can't use it, just find time to practice later; otherwise, you might miss the chance."

Wang Zhifan didn't dwell too long on the firearm selection, and soon made his final choice. The reward list before him vanished instantly, and he stood up on the rooftop to open the chest beside him.

The reason for choosing to claim the reward in this instance rather than waiting until returning to the real world was because he was certain the surroundings were safe, devoid of other players, and even zombies were gone.

This was actually an accompanying clearance effect from completing the instance. All zombies in the current city, including ordinary, elite, and zombie kings, vanished instantly. The once bustling Zombie City now almost appeared as an empty city, with only a few scattered survivors left.

Upon opening the chest, Wang Zhifan saw three items: a glass bottle containing a potion about the size of an adult's pinky finger with clear, azure liquid inside; a white mini-speaker roughly the size of a small bun; and a black sniper rifle seemingly as dainty as a child's toy floating in the chest.

He touched the small floating sniper rifle with his finger, instantly taking it into his personal space. He knew that the floating state meant the object was in an Alternate Space miniature state and needed to be retrieved or stored in personal space to revert to normal size. This is a common phenomenon with larger items in treasure chests.

After securing his first superior-rated weapon, Wang Zhifan placed the white mini-speaker into his personal space and then took out the glass bottle with azure liquid.

"I'll drink it here, perfect for testing the acquired ability."

Wang Zhifan opened the chest in the instance with this in mind. He twisted open the silver cap of unknown metal from the transparent glass bottle, tilted his head back, and drank all the potion, ensuring not a drop was wasted. The blue liquid entered his stomach within two seconds.

"An indescribable strange taste... My head feels dizzy... My body aches... Damn, it gets more intense as it hurts more..."

Just seconds after drinking the superior Ascender Directional Mutation Potion, Wang Zhifan felt strong reactions in his body, making him uncomfortable. He was not only dizzy but also in bodily pain, a state he had only experienced when he first transmigrated onto the original host's body.

"Endure it for now. If the reaction intensifies, return to the real world immediately; I shouldn't pass out in this instance world."

He became alert at once, enduring the physical pain while closely monitoring his condition. Passing out in the instance world could have negative consequences.

However, his concern proved unnecessary; the pain from taking the Ascender Potion not only stopped worsening, but entirely disappeared within half a minute. At the moment the pain faded, he realized he completed the directional mutation and gained the Ascender's Biological Force Field ability!

Excited, Wang Zhifan casually punched the concrete rooftop where he was, and with the motion and a slight puff of dust, a dull boom was heard. A basketball-sized hole appeared about two meters from his fist, with the dust revealing the stairway below the 20cm thick reinforced concrete.

"I only used a small portion of force field strength and it has this power; full exertion must be more significant, though the attack range is too short and consumes stamina noticeably."

This casual test provided Wang Zhifan plenty of information, not only about the formidable attack capability of the Biological Force Field, but also the shortcomings of short range and higher stamina consumption.

But these were not major issues because Wang Zhifan valued its comprehensive passive defense capability the most. The active attack aspect would probably be used sparingly, avoiding excessive stamina consumption that could hinder the force field defense when endurance is depleted.

Having completed a simple test, Wang Zhifan tried testing the force field's defensive ability by dropping a piece of concrete on himself, confirming the effects matched the description.

Without actively controlling his Biological Force Field ability, he smashed himself with the concrete piece, only to find it couldn't touch his body or clothes, and his hand was even repelled—indicating attack reflection.

If he threw the concrete piece at himself, it would also not touch him, being bounced far away from about a few dozen centimeters away.

"This defense is excellent; as long as I have enough stamina, I'm basically not afraid of attacks, even surviving a hail of bullets or a sniper shot to the head."

Finishing the tests on the newly acquired Biological Force Field ability, Wang Zhifan then opened his status panel for a glance, checking his latest panel data.

"My Spirit attribute is already higher than strength and agility… Clearly not a typical warrior class."

Quietly ridiculing his status attributes, Wang Zhifan continued testing his newly acquired superior-grade speaker and sniper rifle in this pliable instance world. After about fifteen minutes of testing, he activated his intent to return to the real world.
