"Hmm?" Renji stared at i’s ssage.
He was curious why i wanted to know Kai’s full na... After all, it didn’t seem like an appropriate greeting.
He could only guess that i knew soone with that first na back from Earth.
However, although she wanted information, Kai was smart enough not to reply.
After all, i could be an enemy who was gathering information. It was better not to give too much information about yourself.
Of course, it was also possible that Kai hadn’t read the chat yet, instead of deliberately ignoring it.
Still, Renji couldn’t help but realize the usefulness of this World Chat.
It wasn’t just a place for idle talk. It was a window into alliances, rivalries, and secrets.
They could use this platform gifted by the system to their advantage against the A.I. Army!
’There’s no way Aria will be able to hack this system, right?’ Renji mused.
Now it was his turn.
He looked at his ssage.
Well, his chat hung in the feed, waiting for replies.
Would anyone recognize Haven‑32? Would they be friendly? Or would they dismiss him as just another wanderer?
Renji’s eyes turned toward Android 9 and 18.
"Let’s see who answers," he muttered.
"This might be the start of sothing bigger."
Renji finally relaxed as he waited to see who would respond.
Unfortunately, the chat feed remained quiet even after so ti... He wasn’t even greeted back by these people who were above Level 20!
With a sigh, Renji just checked the Leaderboard and noticed Kai’s na sitting higher on the Leaderboard.
He had advanced again and reached Level 30.
"I wonder if there’s a new System Feature activated at that Level..." He mused.
***
A couple of days ago, Kai finally reached Level 30. It was just in ti before the month ends for the monthly ranking rewards.
Of course, this level hadn’t happened through farming mutants with Gene Trader traps like before. Instead, it ca in various Sentinel Hunts and from sothing unexpected...
Well, the last few hundred experience points were thanks to his return to Haven‑45 Shelter, the very first shelter where the system had transported him.
The place was still a dumpsite.
Organic waste, broken scraps, and discarded materials were piled high, rotting under the sun.
Kai had only gone there to look around, but what he found there helped him finally reach the last few hundred Experience Points that he needed.
Apparently, an automated garbage hauler rolled into the area.
It was the familiar garbage truck...
Kai watched its chanical arms tossing junk into the pit.
But it wasn’t alone. Two Sentinels guarded it as expected.
"Haha! Got you!" Kai laughed as he finally saw these moving Experience Points!
Kai didn’t hesitate.
With Atom at his side, he launched the attack.
"Let’s go, Atom! They’re only holding normal rifles! We can do this fast! Take care of the one on the left!
Just like that, Atom advanced on the first Sentinel... Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Sentinel shot upon seeing Atom, but its rifle was only good against humans!
It was useless against an A-Grade Sentinel!
Soon, Atom managed to get closer and its blade cut three tis in succession! The first strike severed the machine’s shoulder joint, the second sliced across its torso, and the third pierced straight through its chest unit!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Sentinel’s body convulsed as its core was destroyed! Its circuit board was filled with sparks before it collapsed in silence.
[ Enemy Unit Destroyed: Sentinel (D) ]
[ 410 Experience Points ]
The second Sentinel, realizing that the guns weren’t working against Atom, raised its blade instead...
However, Kai was already closed!
He had actually used Atom as a bait to get their attention!
Furthermore, he activated Specter Step.
[ Gene Skill Activated: Specter Step ]
Spirit Points: -20
His body moved forward, leaving behind a faint afterimage. In less than a heartbeat, he had repositioned to its flank.
Kai thrust out his hand.
[ Gene Skill Activated: Spirit Pulse ]
Spirit Points: -70
A burst of Spirit Energy erupted, slamming into the Sentinel’s body!
Boom!
The controlled shockwave disrupted its balance, forcing its systems to malfunction!
Kai then closed in with his hatchet raised!
"It’s here..."
His Keen Sense guided him and found the battery cell buried inside the machine.
Ha!
Crash!
With a powerful swing, the cell cracked, releasing a violent discharge of light!
[ Enemy Unit Destroyed: Sentinel (D) ]
[ 410 Experience Points ]
At the sa ti, he finally reached Level 30 and was flooded with notifications!
[ You have leveled up! ]
[ Level: 30 ]
[ Health Points 100 ]
[ Spirit Points 5 ]
[ Physique Rating has greatly improved! ]
"Whoaaa~ Finally!"
Kai felt incredibly happy as he felt a surge of power. He had finally reached another milestone!
There were a lot of things he needed to check. Still, Kai carefully checked the remaining ssages.
[ Congratulations! You are the first Survivor to reach Level 30! ]
[ You have received: Instant Experience Potion ×5, Energy Cores (C) ×10, Random Gift Pack ×5, Material Treasure Chest ×2, Random Gene Skill Crystal (Mid‑Grade) ]
[ Congratulations! You have reached the limit of your physique’s current potential. ]
[ You have received: Reputation Points 10, Skill Points 3 ]
"Ughh... So that’s why... I already reached the limit of Spirit Points and Health Points... I must change sothing with my physique to get past the limit, huh." Kai muttered. He felt quite disappointed about this as he recalled the items he had purchased from the Gene Trader.
In any case, the notification hadn’t ended yet.
Just like what happened at Level 20, a new feature was activated at Level 30!
[ New Feature Activated: Guild ]

"Seriously..." Kai muttered as he saw the notifications in front of him.
