Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 287
Chapter 287: Chapter 147: Harvest (End of the Month for Monthly Pass)_3
[Level 2 Crystal Core-Frenzy]
[Quality: Epic (100%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: HP reduction by 10,000 after fusion)]
[Frenzy: When HP is below 30%, Frenzy is automatically triggered, which can only occur once per day. Upon triggering, HP, Mana, Physical strength, and Spirit are completely restored; the body size increases, all negative statuses are removed, Attack power considerably increases, speed increases to a certain extent, and defensive power decreases to a certain extent. Frenzy lasts for 1 hour, after which it returns to normal.]
This was the ability that the Gorilla zombie had used before!
Wang Tao thought it might be an exclusive ability of a Zombie Lord, but it turned out to be an Ability!
This Ability is incredibly powerful! Even though defense decreases, every other aspect is comprehensively enhanced, and it even restores you to full HP and Mana!
Wang Tao hadn’t forgotten the feeling of despair when he saw the Gorilla zombie’s HP suddenly recover to full….
If he learned this Ability… Wouldn’t he essentially have two lives like the Gorilla zombie?
However, as strong as this Ability is, its side effect is outrageous!
Reducing defense isn’t a big deal, since having an extra life justifies losing some defensive power.
But to fuse with this Crystal Core, one would need to deduct 10,000 HP…
He thought the side effect of Healing Light was already twisted, with the first fusion reducing by 5,000 HP and each subsequent one by 1,000. If you fused with 10 Cores, wouldn’t that deduct 14,000 HP?
But compared to Frenzy, Healing Light was just a minor issue. This side effect cuts 10,000 HP after each fusion. Since it’s not specifically marked, it implies that each fusion would reduce the HP by 10,000! That’s a hundred thousand blood for 10 Crystal Cores!
Who has that much HP to spare?
And if Wang Tao wanted to fuse with it, he wouldn’t be able to, even if he advanced to Level Two, because his own HP was only in the thousands, not enough to deduct…
This Crystal Core is truly enviable!
If Wang Tao now had around 12,000 HP and the opportunity to fuse, he might fuse without hesitation!
After all, it’s a second life, and one that enhances most Attributes!
“Ah, what a pity, I don’t meet the conditions…”
Wang Tao sighed. Reluctantly, he shifted his gaze away from the tempting Crystal Core to the other spoils of combat.
The second package dropped by the Gorilla zombie contained Strength Potions, just like the ones from the zombie Wu Fei.
[Strength Potion (Small) x5]
The third package, the last of the spoils, caught Wang Tao’s eye.
[Strength Growth Potion x5]
[Strength Growth Potion: After injection, Strength will receive a certain degree of permanent Enhancement.]
“Strength Growth Potion” and “Strength Potion (Small)” seem only a few words apart, but the effects are vastly different.
The effect of the Strength Potion (Small) is: After injection, overall Strength is increased by 10%-100% (the stronger the constitution, the greater the increase), lasting for 1 minute with a cooldown of 12 hours.
The Strength Potion actually provides a substantial increase, and with Wang Tao’s physical condition, the Enhancement is around forty to fifty percent. However, it’s a temporary ability, lasting only one minute, yet with a cooldown of 12 hours.
But this Strength Growth Potion permanently increases one’s own Strength!
While it doesn’t specify how much, it’s likely not as much as the Strength Potion (Small), but it’s permanent!
Without a second thought, Wang Tao injected one into himself.
Pfft-
After the Potion was injected, it didn’t immediately enhance his Strength like the Strength Potion did. Instead, it felt similar to the physical enhancement after killing a zombie, gradually increasing Wang Tao’s Strength!
Although the increase wasn’t dramatic, it was definitely noticeable!
Wang Tao clenched his fist, feeling the newfound Strength coursing through him. He immediately used the remaining four Strength Growth Potions.
Pfft-
Moments later, Wang Tao secretly exclaimed in delight!
Using five Potions at once made the Strength gain even more apparent, akin to the sensation of enhancement when his HP was at 1,000!
It was deep into the night by now.
Han Rui had already fallen asleep, Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu were also drifting off, the lights were out, and only the faint moonlight bathed their figures.
The reason Li Qiuyu was here was she had been greatly frightened, as, at one point, she was down to just 10 HP and near death. Ding Yuqin, who was innately kind-hearted, coupled with a few words from Han Rui, invited Li Qiuyu to sleep over with her.
After all, everyone was sleeping in their clothes, even keeping their Weapons in hand, so there was no embarrassment.
Wang Tao, seeing that the women had all fallen asleep, also intended to just lie down and sleep.
However, seeing that his HP bar hadn’t fully recovered, he felt somewhat compulsive. Medical packs and Self-healing Abilities weren’t omnipotent, and more severe wounds couldn’t heal quickly — Wang Tao was a living person, not data, after all.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Tao went over, picked up Ding Yuqin, and brought her close to him, while also covering her mouth.
“Mmm—”
Ding Yuqin, who had just fallen asleep, was startled. Once she saw by moonlight that it was Wang Tao, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“You, what are you trying to do…”
She whispered.
“You.”
Wang Tao wanted to replenish his HP to full.
And after experiencing several life-or-death situations that day, he desperately needed to vent and relax.
Ding Yuqin blushed, gave Wang Tao a glance, and in truth, she had the same thought too, since she had also been scared out of her wits that day but was too embarrassed to bring it up.
“Sister Qiu Yu is still here…”
Ding Yuqin said hesitantly.
“Then it’s up to you whether you make noise or not.”
Wang Tao gave a mischievous smile, then leaned in to kiss her.
“Mmm—”
The next day.
The survivors woke up to find, to their delight, that the Mad Demon Zombies had left!
“Qiu Yu, aren’t you happy?”
Han Rui, noting Li Qiuyu’s odd demeanor, asked curiously.
“Cough cough, of course I’m happy…”
Li Qiuyu stole a glance at Wang Tao and then quickly lowered her head.
