Chapter 286: Chapter 147: Harvest (End of the Month for Monthly Pass)_2
The Deactivating Potion seemed quite straightforward. According to the description, it could reduce the activity of the zombie virus for 3 to 10 days. When the activity of the virus was reduced, there would be no mutation into zombies.
It was unclear what factors related to the reduced duration; perhaps it was connected to the length and severity of the infection.
Regardless, even if we consider only three days, one would be absolutely free from worry about turning into a zombie for those days.
Moreover, this deactivating potion had no side effects and did not lead to death. Wang Tao figured that under normal circumstances, an ordinary inhibitor might be more useful, but for those severely infected, this “Deactivating Potion (Experimental)” might be better.
However, the duration of 3 to 10 days was still too short. Relying on this potion to extend life after being infected was impossible; it could only be used as an emergency product…
Wang Tao then turned his attention to the loot from killing the gorilla zombie.
There was also a Crystal Core and three packages.
Neither the gorilla zombie nor Zombie Wu Fei had items like the green-eyed zombie’s eyes.
The Crystal Core from the gorilla zombie’s head was of Purple Quality.
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Roar]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Irritability)] [Roar: Consumes energy to emit a daunting roar that can cause enemies to suffer dizziness and lose HP]
This was the ability the gorilla zombie had used earlier, a crowd-controlling Ability with an even larger range than Shockwave, which had caused Wang Tao and his group a lot of trouble.
The introduction alone might not convey its power, but Wang Tao had seen just how formidable the gorilla zombie was!
Anyone who heard the roar would likely be affected to some degree. And this Roar not only caused dizziness but could also make one lose HP! No wonder it had instantly killed so many survivors and zombies…
Another ability related to sound was Screaming. However, Screaming was nearly useless, serving at most to attract zombies.
But Roar was powerful, capable of killing zombies outright!
Then, Wang Tao looked at the first package dropped by the gorilla zombie.
Inside were a full five Crystal Cores!
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Ascension]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: None)] Another Ascension Crystal Core! And it was of Excellent Quality!
Wang Tao had hesitated before about whether to merge the Ascension Crystal Core dropped by Zombie Wu Fei, especially since that core’s success rate was only 55%… But now, seeing this core, Wang Tao decisively decided to merge this Excellent Quality Crystal Core!
Without a second thought, Wang Tao popped the core into his mouth. Instantly, a warm surge of energy flowed through his limbs and body.
It was a success!
Wang Tao quickly checked his attributes. His HP remained unchanged, but his Mana cap had risen to 4800!
The internal impurity had also changed, now sitting at 2%. By his calculations, the exact figure was 2.2%…
Then there was the icon for Precision Shooting. The “+10? number that used to be in its upper right corner was gone, and now there was a “2” in the lower left corner, indicating that his Precision Shooting had also leveled up to a Level 2 Ability!
Now, Wang Tao’s abilities – Shockwave, Toughness, Precision Shooting, and Self-healing — had all become Level 2 Abilities!
Wang Tao felt stronger than he had ever been before!
Of course, if he were to fight the gorilla zombie now, he would still lose, for he himself was not yet Level Two.
Calming his excited heart, Wang Tao continued to inspect the Crystal Cores. The second Crystal Core in the package was a Red Self-healing Crystal Core. [Level 2 Crystal Core – Self-Heal]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Diminished sense of touch)] [Self-Heal: During its duration, it can slowly heal certain injuries] Seeing this Self-healing Crystal Core, Wang Tao felt a sudden impulse to merge it.
But he quickly regained his composure; although he had five [Detoxification Potions] that could clear 5% impurities, this core had side effects! Wang Tao didn’t want his body to suffer from them!
Of course, there was another point – he was still Level 1, and apart from the Ascension Crystal Core, he couldn’t merge any Level 2 Crystal Cores…
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Super Strength]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Strength is proportionate to body size; insufficient body size leads to negative strength growth)]
[Power: Passive Ability; significantly increases Strength]
The third Crystal Core was for Strength, which was within Wang Tao’s expectations. Since the gorilla zombie was so strong, typically hurling cars and rocks, having the Power ability made sense.
Wang Tao liked the Strength ability as well, but unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to merge with other cores. He would wait to level up to Two and see if there was any way to continue merging different types of cores…
The fourth Crystal Core in the package was another Omnipotent Crystal Core, also Level 2!
[Level 2 Crystal Core – Omnipotent]
[Quality: Excellent (40%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effect: None)]
Although it was of Excellent Quality, the Omnipotent Crystal Core dropped by Zombie Wu Fei was of even better quality, perfect for creating an Epic Omnipotent Crystal Core!
Still, as before, merging two Level 2 Crystal Cores would result in an Epic Crystal Core with 10% impurity and a side effect. Since the Omnipotent Crystal Cores had no side effects, Wang Tao could use them. Other cores, however, would still carry side effects.
Wang Tao looked at the last Crystal Core, and it caused his eyes to widen in surprise.
