BXBX NOVEL Chapter 182 - 112: The Upper Limit of Fusing
Translator: 549690339 |
Wang Tao left first since they already had the experience of fusing with Feng Ming’an and didn’t need Wang Tao to look after them.
When he got home, Ding Yuqin and Wang Tao embraced each other.
“Wang Tao, you’re finally back!”
Seeing Ding Yuqin’s HP over 300, Wang Tao suddenly thought that maybe it was time to boost her level as well… After all, the more HP Ding Yuqin had, the more she could add to Wang Tao’s.
Sister-in-law, I’ll take you out for some fun tomorrow,”
Wang Tao said to Ding Yuqin.
“Huh?”
Ding Yuqin’s mouth dropped open slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, she said with a pitiful look,
“Wang Tao, you’re not going to make me kill zombies again, are you…”
“Sister-in-law is so smart!”
Wang Tao ruffled her hair.
“Oh…”
Seeing Wang Tao’s resolute expression, Ding Yuqin wisely chose not to speak. She knew that Wang Tao would definitely protect her, but she was still afraid. Of course, she also knew that Wang Tao meant well since killing zombies would make her stronger…
Ding Yuqin had already prepared dinner when Wang Tao tasted it and exclaimed,
“Home-cooked food really is the best!”
In the past few days outside, he had been living on nutrient fluids every day and was almost sick of them.
“If it tastes good, eat more!”
Ding Yuqin was very happy, as this proved that Wang Tao was satisfied with her cooking skills.
After dinner, Wang Tao went to his room to fuse some Zombie Cores.
During his time away, he had accumulated a large number of Crystal Cores, and he just got some more from Xiang Hongbin and the others, which was ’ perfect for a round of fusions.
Swipe—
A flash of light passed, and several Orange Crystal Cores appeared in his hand.
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Shockwave x4]
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Toughness xi]
Looking at the five Orange Epic Crystal Cores, Wang Tao grinned.
He was slightly short on Crystal Cores himself, but with what he got from Xiang Hongbin and the others, it was just enough to synthesize five useful cores for himself!
Wang Tao didn’t dare to eat them all at once. Sticking to the routine, he ate them one by one, starting with a Toughness core.
Wang Tao had fused a Toughness Crystal Core a couple of days ago, and another shockwave crystal core after that, and now his Mana had reached 1000.
A moment later, a warm sensation spread through his body and his Mana increased by 100!
“Continue!”
Wang Tao ate another shockwave crystal core.
Mana +100, +100, +100…
“Huh?”
Just as he put the last shockwave crystal core in his mouth, Wang Tao suddenly paused.
Crystal Cores seemed like solids, but once eaten, they seemingly turned into gas immediately, quickly fusing into the whole body.
However, this shockwave crystal core remained unchanged in his mouth…
“Can’t fuse anymore?”
Wang Tao found it odd. He spat it out and tried again but still couldn’t. His body showed no reaction.
Wang Tao looked at his attributes, and under his HP bar on the Ability icon, the Shockwave symbol had a “+io” sign, Toughness had a “+3”, and Precision Shooting had no number at all.
Wang Tao hadn’t paid attention to this before.
“Could it be that one can only fuse a maximum of ten cores of the same type?”
Wang Tao stroked his chin, murmuring.
It must be this possibility, if he wanted to continue merging-perhaps he had reached the limit and couldn’t merge anymore. Or maybe a Level Two Crystal Core was needed…
But no matter which was the case, Wang Tao couldn’t continue to merge Shockwave now.
He glanced at his own attributes.
HP [2650/2650]
Mana [1400/1400]
Wang Tao was quite satisfied with these attributes.
This was the result of his frenzied hunting of Elite Zombies this week. The process wasn’t smooth and he had encountered several crises. But no matter what, seeing his HP over two thousand and mana over one thousand, Wang Tao felt content.
Then Wang Tao turned his attention to the Orange Shockwave Crystal Core in his hand.
I can’t use it myself, might as well give it to someone else…”
He felt that Han Rui, Xiang Hong Bin, and Wei Zhen Guo were all quite suitable.
He’d look at their fusion situation tomorrow and then decide who to give it to.
It so happened that Wang Tao was planning to go out tomorrow, so it was quite reasonable for him to have obtained an Orange Shockwave Crystal Core.
Wang Tao didn’t plan to reveal his ability to synthesize Crystal Cores, not even to those closest to him. This included his ability to loot treasures from killing monsters, which he would keep to himself.
He understood the adage “The innocent man is free from suspicion, but the man who carries a jade must guard against attack” all too well. He was sure that if he revealed these abilities, he would never live in peace in this life. He would have to guard against not just zombies, but other survivors as well!
Therefore, before taking out an Orange Crystal Core, Wang Tao would make some preparations to cover his tracks, trying his best not to let people think too much…
As for the other Crystal Cores in Wang Tao’s space, unless necessary, he had no plans to synthesize them into orange ones. After all, he needed Crystal Cores to make Slime Grenades and such.
Having merged four Crystal Cores at once, Wang Tao was a bit exhilarated and had plenty of physical strength. After briefly taking a bath, he found Ding Yuqin already lying on the bed.
However, Ding Yuqin was dressed, wearing a white professional suit paired with black, red-bottomed high heels… it was practically an attack-speed setup! Sister-in-law, you really know me!”
“…Hmph~”
Ding Yuqin snorted lightly, clearly unaware of what was to follow.
The next day.
Wang Tao woke up, but Ding Yuqin was still asleep.
He was too lazy to cook, so he guzzled down a few bottles of nutritional fluid, then headed to the complex building.
“Big Brother!”
Just as he got out of the car, he heard a shout.
Wang Tao turned around and saw a man wearing a refined suit, with gold-nmmed glasses, hair combed back neatly, giving off a gentle and refined impression.
“You are…?”
Wang Tao didn’t recognize him at first.
“Big Brother, it’s me, Gao Hua!” said the man hurriedly, running over excitedly. “Huh? Gao Hua?”
Wang Tao was surprised, mainly because the last time he saw him, Gao Hua was dirty, had just killed someone, and was splattered with blood… far from the well-dressed appearance before him.
“You’re doing pretty good, kid!”
“It’S all thanks to Big Brother’s blessing! If there’s anything Big Brother needs in the future, just give the order. I’ll go through fire and water without hesitation!”
Seeing the sincerity in Gao Hua’s eyes, Wang Tao wasn’t sure if it was genuine but still gave Gao Hua’s shoulder a friendly pat, smiling.
“Not bad!” Wang Tao nodded and then said, “I have to go up for something now, let’s talk later.”
“Wait a moment, Big Brother! I heard that some of our base’s people have been captured? The person who captured them is someone named Shao Yong?”
“Yes, what about it?”
This news wasn’t a secret; once Wei Zhen Guo had confirmed who it was, he revealed it to the Hunters on a small scale to keep them alert when going out.
“Big Brother! I might know this Shao Yong! I can try to help you save them!”
