Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 340 - 164 Abandonment_2
Chapter 340: Chapter 164 Abandonment_2
“Okay~”
Jiang Shixue then leaned directly on Wang Tao’s shoulder. After a moment, she seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable and lifted Wang Tao’s hand, resting it on her own shoulder, and then she closed her eyes contentedly.
Wang Tao smiled and gently wrapped his arm around Jiang Shixue’s shoulder, but his mind was already focused on his Space Backpack.
The night had been dangerous, but the rewards were substantial.
First was the loot from killing that green pustule zombie.
It was a Level 2, Zombie Lord, so for Wang Tao, it counted as killing beyond his level.
Wang Tao’s HP cap increased directly by 2760! Now, it has reached 9590, just over four hundred shy of ten thousand.
After the Level 2 Ascension, there was also a slight increase in physical fitness each time a full thousand HP was gained.
However, while at Level 1, he needed to sleep to gain the increase, but after reaching Level 2, he no longer needed to. The upgrade came moments after gaining HP, which was much more convenient than before. The only question was whether he would be forced to sleep again once he reached ten thousand HP…
Regarding the pustule zombie, since it was a kill beyond his level, it naturally had Special Energy, adding the same amount of HP, which was 2760!
Wang Tao’s current Special Energy was 3240!
If he could kill another pustule zombie, he could gather five thousand Special Energy, and then he could synthesize a Level 2 Ability once more!
Continuing to review the other spoils from the pustule zombie—
100 servings of Zombie Culture Fluid, a Crystal Core, and three packages.
Wang Tao hadn’t expected the pustule zombie to have Zombie Culture Fluid on it!
Then Wang Tao remembered that when he was about to kill the pustule zombie, a Blood-red Zombie emerged and stopped him.
Could it be suspected then, that this pustule zombie was also a target of the Blood-red Zombies? Or were they in cahoots?
After all, the Zombie Culture Fluid is for cultivating zombies, and those Blood-red Zombies were breeding new zombies in their lair… Wang Tao felt this possibility was very likely!
The pustule zombie had burst out a total of 100 servings of Zombie Culture Fluid, much less than the 1000 servings from the previous Green-eyed Zombie.
Obviously, Wang Tao had no use for these Culture Fluids, but Jiang Shixue still could use them.
After resurrecting Jiang Shixue last time, Wang Tao tried again to see how she felt about the Zombie Culture Fluid. Wang Tao thought it smelled terrible, but Jiang Shixue found it very fragrant… and she said it seemed to strengthen her!
However, she couldn’t use it indefinitely; she had to rest for a while after each use.
Jiang Shixue could continue to use it now, but since Wang Tao and she had been on the move, there wasn’t time to use it after arriving at Fish Bay Camp and resting for only a day.
Wang Tao planned to find some time later to let Jiang Shixue cultivate a bit. After all, the previous use of Zombie Culture Fluid instantly added 1000 HP for Jiang Shixue, and she gained a comprehensive boost in physical fitness…
Wang Tao looked at the Crystal Core that burst out of the pustule zombie.
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Carrion Eater]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Body undergoes some sort of deformity)]
[Carrion Eater: Digestive system enhancement, saliva can digest the virus in decayed zombie corpses with reduced activity, the esophagus won’t be infected by the zombie virus, the stomach sack can absorb energy from decayed corpses]
Wang Tao thought that Carrion Eater was an incredible ability!
After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, resources were scarce, and one had to scavenge in cities or grow their own food. If he had this Carrion Eater ability, he wouldn’t have to worry about starving.
Because with this ability, he wouldn’t fear the zombie virus in decayed bodies! After all, zombies were everywhere, and by killing just any ordinary zombie, he’d probably have food to last a long time.
But the problem was whether humans could accept eating decayed bodies.
If it were decayed animals, it would be just disgusting—eat it with pinched nose if truly starved.
But zombies were transformed from humans… It was not just an assault on the senses but also a psychological one. How many people could accept eating zombies?
Wang Tao’s evaluation of the Crystal Core was: it’s an incredible ability, but he didn’t want it.
In the future, when he goes to large Survivor Bases, he’ll see if he can trade it. Wang Tao believed that someone would definitely like this ability.
He himself couldn’t accept eating zombies, even if it wouldn’t infect him with the zombie virus.
Then there were three packages that burst out from the pustule zombie.
The first package contained the long-missed Crystal Core Gift Bag with a total of five Crystal Cores!
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Omnipotent]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: None)]
The first one was a Level 2 Omnipotent Crystal Core, and it was of outstanding quality!
Wang Tao already had three Level 2 Omnipotent Crystal Cores: Ordinary (20%), Excellent (40%), and Excellent (60%). With this one, he’d be able to synthesize two Epic Crystal Cores!
Of course, since this was a Level 2 Crystal Core with only 45% purity, if he used just two Crystal Cores for synthesis, 10% impurity would remain. But Wang Tao wasn’t worried about it now, as he still had five Cleansing Potions to reduce the Internal Impurities that he hadn’t used.
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Running]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Doubled physical strength consumption)]
[Running: Passive Ability, enhances the speed of running]
The second Crystal Core was the Running Crystal Core which Wang Tao hadn’t seen before, much like the Power Crystal Core, it was a Passive Ability.
Wang Tao thought this Crystal Core was not bad—if he fused this Ability, it would greatly enhance his survivability.
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Timed Defense]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
