Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures

Chapter 90 Fusion of Two Epic Cores

“Zombie crystal cores increase our strength? We have zombie crystal cores!”

Hearing Wang Tao's words, Lu Gang spoke without thinking.

 “Can I use it?”

Wang Tao looked at the other people.

 Several committee members looked at each other, and Wei Zhenguo said:

“You are also a committee member, so of course it can be used, as long as most people agree. But...”

 Ren Jie continued:

“However, these zombie crystal nuclei are hard to come by. One of us cannot waste them, and the other one cannot let any one person use them all, so... well, please save a little.”

Several other committee members also stated that only the committee can currently decide the use of these zombie crystal nuclei, but they cannot be used indiscriminately. Of course Wang Tao can use it, after all, he is a committee member. But he couldn't take it all. Even if he is the only one with powers now, all these crystal nuclei cannot be given to him.

 “Haha, don’t worry about that!”

Seeing that no one objected, Wang Tao felt a little happy. He smiled and explained:

"Even for superpowers, not all zombie crystal cores can be used. It is best to use the same type. One person may be able to fuse many zombie crystal cores of the same type, but he definitely cannot fuse too many different types of crystals. Cores. So even if I want to use many crystal cores, I can’t use them..."

"So this is ah!"

 Everyone was stunned.

Wang Tao took the opportunity to tell them about the situation of zombie crystal nuclei and superpowers. If they become superpowers in the future, they will definitely be able to discover these things. Wang Tao now treats them as a favor. After all, they all gave Wang Tao the zombie crystal core to use, so he had to figure it out.

 Several committee members also listened with open ears to Wang Tao's popular science. This was a rare opportunity.

“I also want to be a person with superpowers! Even if there are side effects, it’s still better than ordinary people!”

 Feng Mingan clenched his fists.

 “That’s natural.”

Wang Tao nodded.

“Let’s discuss it first, and I’ll get the zombie crystal core.”

Lu Gang stood up and left the conference room.

Most of the zombie crystal nuclei in Shuize Base were hunted by Lu Gang. After all, he had been hunting special zombies before. So these crystal nuclei are kept by him. I have to say that everyone trusts Lu Gang very much, and it also proves that Lu Gang has a good character.

And Wang Tao saw that there were no impurities in his body! In other words, he has hunted so many special zombies, but he has never fused a crystal core! I have to say, this self-control is really amazing!

Soon, Lu Gang came over with a backpack.

“Sigh, it’s hard to collect zombie cores now… All the cores in our base are now here…”

Lu Gang sighed.

There were no crazy zombies before. After sniping special zombies from a distance, he could evacuate before the zombies arrived. As long as you prepare your escape route in advance, there won't be any problems.

 But not anymore, crazy zombies are everywhere!

 If you are prepared in advance, you can retreat, but the risk is still too great. After he sniped and killed a special zombie yesterday, he was surrounded by crazy demons who came over. If he hadn't brought two deputies with him, he might have been left outside...

Wang Tao took the backpack and opened it in front of everyone.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　please

 After seeing the zombie crystal core in the backpack, everyone swallowed subconsciously.

Wang Tao is a person with supernatural powers and has seen many zombie nuclei, so he seems much calmer than them.

However, after seeing the zombie crystal core inside, Wang Tao became a little uneasy.

Good guy, no wonder their fusion experiments failed several times - there are seven zombie crystal nuclei in total, all of which are white and of ordinary quality.

The fusion success rate of white ordinary crystal nuclei is 20%. It is reasonable that it failed even once.

“Oh, by the way, I got a crystal core yesterday, but I forgot to take it out in the car, but that one is blue...”

Lu Gang went out again and walked in not long after holding a blue crystal core.

Wang Tao was really impressed by Lu Gang. He could hold back the crystal core in his hand and not eat it...Wang Tao couldn't hold it back at that time.

 “You are so awesome, you can endure this...”

Wang Tao gave a thumbs up.

When Lu Gang heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head.

“When I was on a mission, I could lie down in one place for 24 hours without moving, so the temptation of zombie crystal cores was nothing.”

 “Niu beep!”

No wonder everyone agreed to let Lu Gang keep these zombie crystal nuclei. This self-control is very strong.

 When Wang Tao saw the crystal core in Lu Gang's hand, his face suddenly became happy. This turned out to be a shock wave crystal core!

 【First-order crystal core·shock wave】

 【Quality: Excellent (40%)】

 【Purity: 50% (Side Effect: Eyes are afraid of light)】

When Wang Tao came back today, he happened to kill a violent terror zombie and got a [Quality: Excellent (60%)] crystal core!

Wouldn’t it be possible to fuse an epic crystal core without any side effects?

 “This crystal nucleus is useful to me!”

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"OK."

Lu Gang directly handed the shock wave crystal core to Wang Tao, and then he asked curiously:

 “Why is this crystal nucleus blue, while the others are white?”

Wang Tao didn’t hide anything, he explained directly:

“Because this blue color has a high fusion success rate.”

 “How high?”

The faces of several people were a little excited. If the success rate is high, doesn't it mean that they also have a chance to become superpowers?

But what Wang Tao said next made them a little disappointed.

"The success rate of white zombie crystal core fusion is about 20%. This is the worst quality crystal core. The blue one is 40%... Don't ask how you know it. When you become superpowers, you will... Can feel it.”

Wang Tao naturally cannot explain his special abilities. He attributes everything to a person with supernatural abilities. If others cannot find out that they have become superpowers, then we can only say that there are differences between people...

 “Only 40%!”

 Ren Jie shook his head.

 It does not exceed 50%, and the probability is not high.

Of course, this is much better than the 20% white.

It was only then that everyone realized why Wang Tao looked a little weird just now. It turns out that the zombie crystal cores in their hands are of the worst quality...

“There are also higher crystal nuclei, the purple one is 60%, the red one is 80%, and the orange one is 100%!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies

“In other words, if I can get an orange zombie crystal core, then the possibility of me becoming a superpower is 100%?”

Lu Gang was a little excited.

Although he has strong self-control, it does not mean that he does not want to become a superpower.

The reason why he has strong self-control is mainly because he doesn't know whether there will be any harm after eating these zombie crystal nuclei. Fortunately, he didn't eat them. He already knew from Wei Zhenguo that these crystal nuclei contain impurities, no matter what. Whether the fusion is successful or not, impurities will accumulate!

"Yes." Wang Tao nodded, and then said, "So I suggest that if you really want to fuse zombie crystal nuclei to become a superpower, it is best to choose purple, red and orange."

“Wang Tao, when you got the superpower before, what kind of power did you fuse with?”

Wei Zhenguo asked curiously.

"orange color."

 Wang Tao’s fusion is indeed orange, although it is synthesized from two crystal nuclei.

 “No wonder!”

Everyone was stunned. No wonder none of the people they tested got superpowers, but Wang Tao got it. It turned out that they had directly made a crystal core with a fusion success rate of 100%!

“So, do you still agree to let me use this crystal core?”

Wang Tao showed the blue crystal core in his hand.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Although the success rate of blue crystal nuclei is higher than that of white, the probability of 40% is still low. Unsuccessful fusion of zombie crystal nuclei will accumulate impurities in the body. If these impurities accumulate too much, they will turn into zombies! This is a bit risky, and even Xiang Hongbin, who has already fused the zombie crystal core, wants to be safe at this time.

 “Okay, I’ll accept it then.”

Wang Tao nodded, and then looked at the other zombie crystal nuclei again. He had not had time to take a closer look just now.

There are seven zombie crystal cores in total, including three [First-order crystal core·Self-destruction], one [First-order crystal core·Big Stomach King], one [First-order crystal core·Copper skin and iron bones], and one [One [First-order crystal core·Self-healing], one [First-order crystal core·Charge].

Wang Tao has never seen these crystal nuclei except "self-healing". And it seems that except for self-destruction and Big Eater, he can use everything else!

“Well, to tell you the truth, I found that these crystal nuclei seem to be useful to me...”

 Everyone: “…”

Didn’t you agree to leave some for them? Wang Tao wants it all?

Although these are white ordinary zombie crystal cores, it wouldn’t be appropriate to take them all away, right? And everyone will definitely not agree.

But Wang Tao went on to say:

“Of course, it wouldn’t be appropriate if I took them all, so I’ll take two more. What do you think?”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　——

 Hearing that Wang Tao got two more coins, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK!"

Wei Zhenguo was the first to nod, and everyone else agreed. Counting the blue crystal core just now, there are eight crystal cores in total. Wang Tao took three of them alone. Although it was a lot, it was not unacceptable to them. It's better than Wang Tao taking them all.

 The two crystal nuclei Wang Tao took were naturally [Copper Skin Iron Bone] and [Self-healing].

 He got an "Excellent (80% copper-clad iron bone the day before yesterday. Coupled with this "Ordinary (20%, it was just enough to synthesize an epic crystal core.

  Getting two epic crystal cores in one day is a bit cool!

As for this [self-healing], although Wang Tao cannot use it for the time being, it is a very good ability!

 【First-order crystal nucleus·Self-healing】

 【Quality: Normal (20%)】

 【Purity: 50% (Side Effect: Decreased tactile sensation)】

 【Self-healing: Within the duration, you can slowly recover a certain amount of injuries】

If he gets this self-healing ability, coupled with the copper skin and iron bones, wouldn't he become an invincible little strong?

But the specific details will not be known until you obtain the superpower. Just keep this crystal core for now, it may be used later.

As for the [Charge] crystal core, although Wang Tao can also use it, the quality of the charge crystal core in his hand is "excellent (60%, and this one is only 80%, less than 100%. Wang Tao would naturally not use epic quality. He doesn't want impurities to accumulate in his body.

After taking these two zombie crystal cores, Wang Tao asked about the situation of this self-healing zombie. If you have a chance to encounter it in the future, you should pay attention to it.

Lu Gang told him that it was a fat zombie. When he hunted it with a sniper rifle before, he thought he would kill it every time, but in the end he didn't. He was shot several times before he died...

Wang Tao secretly remembered the appearance of this special zombie and paid more attention to it in the future.

Of course, Wang Tao also asked about the origin of the copper-skinned and iron-bone zombie crystal core. They encountered a large group of zombies half a month ago and shot them to death with only gunfire. The die-hard zombies have high defense, but they can't stop the hail of bullets.

As for the self-destructing crystal cores, these are what we have obtained in recent days. Lu Gang has not yet remembered to tell the base about the self-destructing zombies. Otherwise, Xiang Hongbin wouldn't be so unlucky.

“Wang Tao, you must not tell us, what are the functions of these zombie crystal nuclei?”

 Feng Mingan said suddenly.

Everyone looked at Wang Tao. They also had some guesses about the abilities of these zombie crystal nuclei, but they were not very sure after all.

“Okay. Let’s talk about the three crystal cores I took away first, namely shock wave, copper skin and iron bone, and self-healing...”

Wang Tao gave a brief explanation. Except for the shock wave, which he talked about in detail, he didn't talk much about copper skin, iron bones, and self-healing. After all, he didn't learn it himself. And he said that this was inferred from the situation in the zombie crystal core, which may not be accurate.

 But everyone was a little confused. Because in addition to the obvious moving ripples that can be seen in the shock wave crystal core, there is a black villain inside the copper-skinned iron-bone crystal core, and there is a green seed in the self-healing crystal core... Can all of these be inferred to be useful?

However, Wang Tao is a person with super powers and they are not, so what Wang Tao says is authoritative and they cannot refute it.

“As for the remaining crystal nuclei, they are self-destruction, charge, and the Big Eater…”

 After listening to Wang Tao's explanation of these three crystal nuclei, several people looked at each other in confusion.

 Charge is understandable. This ability seems to be similar to Wang Tao's shock wave. It is an active attack ability. But this big eater and self-destruction are outrageous.

Especially this self-destruction. Even if you learn this power, you can only use it once in your life...

“Then can we get some self-destruct soldiers?”

 Xiang Hongbin suddenly spoke.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Wei Zhenguo stared at Xiang Hongbin.

"Impossible, we have one less soldier now! Money is precious!"

 “Ahem, I’m not talking about our soldiers...”

　　　…”

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

“If we encounter some unsolvable difficulties, and if we have self-destruction soldiers in our hands, maybe the outcome will be different... I have seen the power of self-destruction zombies, no less than a small bomb..."

Xiang Hongbin saw that no one said anything and shook his head again.

“…Forget it, this is not realistic. No one wants to be a self-destruction soldier, it must be voluntary. The survivors do not have this consciousness, but we do have this consciousness… but there are not enough manpower, alas!”

Wang Tao wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead.

 Hey guys, have you started researching self-destruction soldiers? He had previously thought that this self-exploding crystal core was of no use... Sure enough, he was out of control!

“As for this big stomach king, it’s a pretty good ability. If someone can obtain this ability, wouldn’t it be able to be used as a human shield?”

“But he can’t prevent the zombie virus, and he wants to feed a big eater. The food in our base may not be enough..."

“…Okay, they all look pretty powerful, but they also have great limitations!”

 Sighed to Hongbin.

"This is the information I know about the zombie crystal core. If you get the zombie crystal core in the future and want to fuse it, I personally suggest you bring it to me and let me give you some opinions..."

Wang Tao spread his hands.

"of course!"

 Everyone nodded. Even if Wang Tao didn't say it, they would do it. After all, there is a living superpower here, so if you have any questions, you must consult more.

"Okay, if nothing happens, I'll leave first. I'll see if I can fuse this shock wave crystal core. If I can fuse it, my strength should be improved a lot..."

 “Okay! Waiting for your good news!”

 Everyone nodded.

 After Wang Tao left, everyone looked at the zombie crystal core on the table and swallowed their saliva.

Xiang Hongbin looked at Wei Zhenguodao:

“Old Wei, do you think we should start to focus on hunting special zombies? I also want to become a superpower!”

Wei Zhenguo was a little confused.

“The risk of killing special zombies is too high...but we have to improve our strength! Who knows if other perverted zombies will appear..."

"I feel like the zombies outside have become stronger now! In the past, when I hunted special zombies, I could kill them with one shot, but now I need two or three shots! Not to mention there are crazy zombies, so I can't take care of them. Sniper…”

 “Let’s go back and discuss with Wang Tao…”

 …

On his way home, Wang Tao put [Copper Skin Iron Bone] and [Shock Wave] Zombie Crystal Core in his space backpack to synthesize them. ,

 A moment later, he got two orange epic crystal cores!

 【First-order crystal core·shock wave】

  【Quality: Epic (100%)】

 【Purity: 100% (no side effects)】

 …

 【First-order crystal core·Copper skin and iron bone】

  【Quality: Epic (100%)】

 【Purity: 100% (no side effects)】

Looking at the two orange crystal nuclei, Wang Tao felt happy. Sure enough, joining the Mizusawa Base was the right decision, otherwise it would still take a lot of time for him to collect crystal nuclei by himself.

 Back in the small building No. 8, Ding Yuqin was cooking in an apron.

 “Wang Tao, the meal will be ready soon!”

"Okay. But I want to fuse the zombie crystal core, so don't disturb me yet."

"Ah good!"

Wang Tao returned to the room, then took out the orange shock wave crystal core and threw it into his mouth without any hesitation.

 In an instant, a warm feeling appeared on my body, and then it disappeared, almost the same as last time.

Wang Tao looked at his attributes.

 There are no changes in other places, except that the blue bar has increased by 100 and is now 200.

“Fusing a zombie core will increase the mana amount by 100?”

As for whether the shock wave ability has been enhanced, this needs to be tested. Wang Tao did not test it for the time being. Instead, he took out another orange copper-skinned iron-bone crystal core and threw it into his mouth.

 “Hu—it’s so hot…”

Wang Tao felt a little hot, but it wasn't too uncomfortable. He took off all his clothes and lay on the bed for a while.

Wang Tao had a feeling in the dark - with his current strength, he seemed to be able to fuse at most one or two different types of zombie crystal cores, otherwise something would probably happen!

There is no problem in continuing to fuse those fused crystal nuclei of the same type. It seems that he can also fuse many of the same type...

 After a few minutes, Wang Tao felt the heat on his body slowly dissipate, and he quickly looked at his attributes.

 The blue bar increased by 100 again, reaching 300. Then he added "copper skin and iron bones" to his skills.

 “It looks like nothing has changed so far…”

Wang Tao made a thought and activated the copper-skinned iron-bone ability.

Then Wang Tao discovered that the skin on his body instantly hardened and felt as cold as a stone to the touch. However, he still had a sense of touch and did not really turn into a stone. And his flexibility has not been affected at all! Of course, he didn't turn black either.

Wang Tao checked his mana level and found that it consumed 1 point every second. In other words, his 300 mana can be used for 5 minutes! Of course, the premise is that he doesn't use other abilities.

 “This ability is interesting…”

However, Wang Tao soon discovered a more interesting thing. His copper-skinned iron bone could not only affect the whole body, but also act on certain parts of the body individually.

After Wang Tao removed the copper skin and iron bones from his body, he looked at a certain part of his body again, and his thoughts moved.

　　hard, the fingers are hard.
