Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 805 - 315: Strange Poison Sac_2
Chapter 805: Chapter 315: Strange Poison Sac_2
Gu Yun immediately asked.
Wang Tao smiled and said,
“There’s something good in here, really good stuff.”
He didn’t lower his voice on purpose, so everyone else heard him, and they immediately turned their gaze to Wang Tao.
Zhou Long asked,
“What good stuff?”
...
Wang Tao picked up the palm-sized poison sac and said,
“Personally, I think the most valuable thing from the Dual-tail Scorpion is this poison sac.”
[Strange Poison Sac: After consuming, there’s a one-third chance of poisoning, a one-third chance nothing happens, and a one-third chance to gain a hidden attribute.]
Wang Tao also had one of these strange poison sacs. It was from the zombie that emitted corrosive poison gas that he had killed earlier at Zijin Base. The two poison sacs looked almost identical, and their attributes were exactly the same.
“What’s so special about this poison sac? To make poison fog weapons?”
Shang Heng was somewhat puzzled.
Perhaps as a consequence of his military career, his first thought upon seeing something was whether it could be made into a weapon. Plus, the Hope Research Institute had long been working on toxin weapons and had achieved some success in stages. Thus, Shang Heng thought it might be a material for making weapons.

But Wang Tao shook his head.
“Of course not. Even if it could be made into a weapon, using it to make weapons would be too much of a waste!”
In just a couple of sentences, Wang Tao had piqued everyone’s curiosity. Too much of a waste to make a weapon?
“Stop beating around the bush, tell us quickly!”
Qu Shilin instinctively grabbed Wang Tao’s arm and said.
Among this group, her curiosity was the most intense. But it was understandable—without a strong curiosity, she couldn’t have become a scientist.
The others were also looking at Wang Tao with great curiosity and anticipation.
The Wang Tao they knew now had completely transcended their previous stereotypes.
In their eyes, Wang Tao used to be a System Awakener with strong combat abilities but limited knowledge. To put it bluntly, Wang Tao was viewed as a simpleton with brute strength.
They said Wang Tao was strong in combat because he had led so many people to survive in the harsh conditions outside and had even become an Awakener. Such a person’s combat abilities unquestionably had to be strong.
And they thought Wang Tao had limited knowledge because he had lived in a place with no scientific researchers, fewer people, and even fewer zombies and monsters. Therefore, Wang Tao’s insights and knowledge must have been limited. They felt that Wang Tao becoming an Awakener was at least 90% luck!
So, regarding this new Awakener Wang Tao, it wasn’t that they looked down on him, but they all had a faint sense of superiority.
However, after interacting with Wang Tao today, their impression of him completely changed—Wang Tao knew so much!
Whether it was knowledge about the Iron Beetle Weapon or knowledge related to Awakening, Wang Tao was way ahead of them!
This made them feel as if they were the true simpletons.
Regardless of whether Wang Tao was just lucky to discover these things, at least he truly understood them.
They weren’t sure if Wang Tao understood other things, but they took his words very seriously.
So, after hearing what Wang Tao had said, they were all pondering what other uses there could be for the poison sac besides making weapons. It couldn’t possibly be something to eat, could it?
“I guess some of you have already guessed it, this thing is indeed for eating.”
Wang Tao said with a smile.
“Ah?”
Everyone was stunned.
That thing was not to be eaten recklessly! This poison sac came from a Level 4, Monster Lord, and who knows how many toxins were inside. If eaten, even the research institute might not be able to save the person!
Wang Tao didn’t rush to explain but suddenly said,
“I’ve mentioned to you before that there are three prerequisites for Awakening. The first is to increase one’s strength to the third-order peak, the second is to max out all abilities, and the third is to have a hidden attribute. Among these, the first two are relatively simple and can be achieved with effort. But the third condition is the hardest because hidden attributes are entirely dependent on luck…”
The audience nodded subconsciously.
After hearing about the concept of hidden attributes from Wang Tao, they all felt a sense of helplessness. Wang Tao had said that hidden attributes seemed to be innate. But before the apocalypse, hidden attributes were not activated, so no one discovered them. After the apocalypse, if you had hidden attributes naturally, then killing a few zombies would activate them. But if you weren’t born with them, then no matter how many zombies you killed, it wouldn’t make a difference.
For example, those who were already at the third-order peak, if they still didn’t have a hidden attribute, then they probably never would.
Of course, what exactly a hidden attribute was, Wang Tao couldn’t say for sure since everyone’s hidden attribute was different. It was up to them to figure out.
In any case, the hidden attribute was the most difficult condition to meet, and without it, one was doomed to never Awaken.
“But there was one thing I didn’t mention before, and that is that although hidden attributes are innate, they can also be acquired later in life! It’s just very hard and also a matter of luck…”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s words, the audience, not being fools, immediately turned their gaze to the poison sac in Wang Tao’s hands.
“Could it be…”
“That’s right, this poison sac is something that can give a person a hidden attribute.”
—Hissss—
Their pupils all dilated a bit.
If that’s the case, does that mean Awakeners can actually be cultivated?!
“What exactly has to be done? Eat it?”
Shang Heng eagerly asked.
He was a vice commander of the Fourth Legion but only a Level 3 ability user… So, compared to others, he was very eager.
