Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 838 - 327: Advanced Secret Key (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_5
```
She did know of some places where Level 4 zombies resided, but those areas were extremely dangerous and not easy to kill. For the moment, she couldn’t find any Level 4 Lords that were easy to deal with...
However, Wang Tao shook his head at this moment.
"No, no, no, if you use an Ordinary Awakening Key to awaken, then the success rate is indeed only 50%, but if you use this key, it might not be the case!"
"Ah? Is this key different?"
The crowd was momentarily stunned.
"I call this type of key a High-level Secret Key, and the success rate of awakening with it is 70%!"
[Advanced Awakening Secret Key: The key necessary for awakening (Success rate 70%)]
[Note: When used alone, the Advanced Awakening Secret Key has a success rate of 70%; when used with one or more Ordinary Awakening Keys, the success rate averages out.]
Wang Tao had known about the Advanced Awakening Secret Keys before, but had never seen one before. This was the first time he saw an Advanced Awakening Secret Key. A success rate of 70% was quite high, considering the success rate for the first awakening with an Ordinary Awakening Key was only 50%.
Yet another hint popped up with this key, and after Wang Tao took a look, he roughly understood its meaning—
If awakening requires only one key, then naturally it’s the first awakening. Thus, the success rate with an Advanced Awakening Key is 70%.
If the first attempt is unsuccessful, or for those with more than two Hidden Attributes, they can try a second awakening.
Without the Advanced Awakening Secret Key, the success rate for the second awakening is 40%, a relatively low probability.
But if you use an Advanced Awakening Secret Key, then it’s the high-level 70% plus the ordinary 40%, divided by two, which averages out to 55%—meaning the success rate for the second awakening is 55%! Although the probability is still not high, for awakening, above 50% is already considered high!
If it’s the third awakening, the normal probability is 30%. Add one Advanced Awakening Secret Key, and then it’s 70%+30%+30% divided by 3, which is a 43% success rate. While this success rate is higher than 30%, it still doesn’t exceed 50%, so Wang Tao felt it wasn’t worth it.
However, turning back to the subject, as long as you have enough Advanced Awakening Keys, two for the second awakening, three for the third awakening... then your success rate for awakening stays at 70%!
Therefore, Wang Tao thought that with only one Advanced Awakening Key, it would be relatively worthwhile to use it for the first or second awakening, but not beyond the third, because it wouldn’t surpass the 50% probability.
Of course, if there are plenty of Advanced Awakening Keys, then it doesn’t matter. It’s a pity that there is only one right now...
"An Advanced Awakening Secret Key with a 70% awakening success rate..."
The people exclaimed in amazement, as this was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
"If you eat the Snake Bead to gain a Hidden Attribute and then use this High-level Secret Key... Wouldn’t that directly turn you into an Awakener?"
Zhou Long muttered to himself.

"In theory, that’s the case. The premise is not to have too bad luck, since this is a 70% chance, not 100%, and there is still the possibility of failure..."
Wang Tao said with a smile.
Qi De and the others slowly fell into silence.
A Snake Bead, coupled with an Advanced Awakening Secret Key, almost guaranteed becoming an Awakener!
The value of these two items was immensely high!
They all wanted the Snake Bead and the Advanced Awakening Key! But it was highly likely that they wouldn’t be able to get either, let alone both at the same time!
After introducing all of these items, it was time for Wang Tao to choose his loot first, as everyone had agreed beforehand.
But Cheng Yiyi suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Wang, please come with me for a moment."
She clearly had something she wanted to discuss with Wang Tao alone.
Qi De and the others were not surprised by this situation. If they were in her shoes, they’d want to talk to Wang Tao as well, to see if they could negotiate to prevent him from taking those two items. Especially for Cheng Yiyi, who was not an Awakener and had no Hidden Attributes, she was the one who needed the Snake Bead and Advanced Awakening Key the most!
```
"Sigh..."
Qi De and his two companions sighed. They felt they were out of the running, and it ultimately came down to whether Wang Tao or Cheng Yiyi would get the items.
Not to mention Wang Tao, his team had made a significant contribution to killing the monster. As for Cheng Yiyi, although her contribution to the kill wasn’t as great as Wang Tao’s, she was the one who organized this operation, and it was she who discovered these monsters. Thus, she had a sizable share in the final distribution of the loot. Qi De and the others had to step back...
On the other side.
Cheng Yiyi spoke seriously to Wang Tao:
"Mr. Wang, let’s not beat around the bush. I want the snake bead and the advanced awakening secret key. But with my contribution points, it’s clear that I can’t take both. So, I hope you can give me this chance. Of course, I’ll compensate you with crystal coins or other items, and I’ll make sure you won’t be at a loss!

Moreover, you can tell me what you want in compensation, and I’ll try my best to satisfy you..."
The snake bead was also very useful to Wang Tao. Yang Changhong hadn’t awakened any hidden attributes yet, and Wang Tao had been thinking of securing one for her, but he hadn’t had the chance. Although he had items that could enhance hidden attributes, they all came with a risk of failure, unlike this 100%-guaranteed snake bead.
As for the advanced awakening secret key, there was no need to say more. Not to mention others, Wang Tao himself wanted to use it because he wanted to undergo a second awakening.
However, Wang Tao also knew that taking one item wouldn’t be a problem, but taking both would be quite difficult.
After all, everyone agreed that the value of the snake bead plus the advanced awakening secret key accounted for over 95% of the total value gained this time!
After all, this equated to a 70% chance of training an awakener in a short time, and it wasn’t a random training but one where you could freely choose who to awaken!
When Wang Tao collected the loot pack from the Giant Serpent earlier, he glanced through it, and the items inside were better than the ones available now.
Even if he didn’t take these items, he considered the operation a huge success. But after all, these items were rightfully his, earned through hard work, and he wouldn’t just give them away for free.
So Wang Tao pondered for a moment and said:
"How about this? I won’t fight over these two items, and you can just give me whatever compensation later. Besides these two items, all other items, including the corpse of this Giant Serpent, go to me, and you handle the compensation for Qi De and his team. Additionally, I’d like to make a small trade with you..."
At the beginning of Wang Tao’s words, Cheng Yiyi was visibly excited.
If Wang Tao was willing to part with the loot, she was certainly willing to compensate him. As for giving Wang Tao all the other loot from the Giant Serpent, she naturally agreed, since the value of those items wasn’t as high as that of the snake bead and the key.
As for the body of the Giant Serpent, although odd in that it could still unleash [Life Drain] even after death, it definitely wasn’t something she could make sense of in a hurry, and its value was surely not as high as the snake bead and the secret key! So giving it all to Wang Tao was naturally no issue.
The only question was, what did Wang Tao mean by the rest of his statement?
"Mr. Wang, what is this trade you’re proposing?"
"I have two ordinary physical awakening keys, which I’d like to exchange for that advanced awakening secret key. Do we have a deal?"
Two physical awakening keys suddenly appeared in Wang Tao’s hand, slightly different in appearance from the advanced real body awakening secret key, and evidently not as high-level.
"Two physical keys!"
Cheng Yiyi’s breathing instantly grew rapid.
Wang Tao actually had two physical awakening keys?!
To trade or not to trade?
The advanced awakening secret key had a 70% success rate; as long as luck wasn’t too poor, one should be able to awaken.
The ordinary awakening secret key had a 50% success rate; theoretically, there was a fifty-fifty chance of awakening. But with good luck, both could awaken! Then again, if luck was bad, neither would be awakened... A dilemma indeed!
Wang Tao didn’t disturb Cheng Yiyi and quietly waited.
The reason he wanted to exchange for the solid advanced awakening key was because after killing the Black Giant Snake, apart from gaining advanced special energy, 100 awakening energy, he had also obtained a secret key. But it wasn’t an ordinary secret key; it was a high-level secret key!
However, this secret key wasn’t physical, and Wang Tao couldn’t take it out; it was only usable for himself.
And the conditions for Wang Tao’s second awakening were already met, but he wasn’t willing to gamble with just a 40% success rate.
Now, if there was a 70% success rate, Wang Tao felt it was worth trying for the second awakening!
