Chapter 107: New Crystal Core, Kidnapping__2

|

So although this thing is quite speculative, it is indeed effective.

Following Wang Tao’s instructions, Feng Ming’an closed his eyes and quietly focused for a moment, then suddenly startled.

“I feel… if I merge with another type of crystal core, something bad is going to happen…”

Wang Tao opened his mouth, then shook his head with a hint of regret.

“If that’s the case, then it’s regrettable that you can’t merge with the

Self-Detonation Crystal Core anymore. You can only continue to merge with

the Slime Spitter Crystal Core…”

“Ah, this…”

The others also felt somewhat helpless.

It was so unfortunate for Feng Ming’an; he turned out to be one of those people

who could only merge with one type of crystal core…

Seeing Feng Ming’an’s disappointed look, Wang Tao suddenly added:

“But I have a feeling that the issue of how many types of crystal cores one can merge with seems related to one’s own strength. If your strength increases, it seems you can increase the limit of merging… Of course, this is just a speculation of mine, yet to be validated.”

Wang Tao didn’t speak too confidently.

Although he could indeed feel that after growing stronger, he was able to merge with more crystal cores, he wasn’t sure if this was because he was somewhat special…

Upon hearing this, Feng Ming’an’s expression improved significantly. He shook

his head with a wry smile.

“Hey! Having one ability is already good, many people want to become ability users but don’t even have the chance!”

Xiang Hongbin then joined in the conversation:

“However, Old Feng’s luck is really not that great. This time we went out, we

didn’t encounter a single Slime Spitting Zombie…”

“No rush, there will always be opportunities in the future!”

Feng Ming’an said helplessly.

“Wang Tao, can you see if there are any uses for these other crystal cores?”

Wei Zhenguo spoke up at this point.

This time, they had gotten more than a dozen crystal cores altogether. After all, they had a large group consisting of over fifty people, so it was normal for them to obtain so many crystal cores.

Aside from the Self-Detonation Crystal Core, there were also some that they

had seen before and some they had not.

The ones they had seen included: A blue (40%) Rush Crystal Core, a white (20%) Shockwave Crystal Core, a blue (40%) Glutton Crystal Core, and a white (20%) Toughness Crystal Core.

Out of these four crystal cores, aside from the Glutton Crystal Core, Wang Tao wanted the other three.

He had a purple Rush Crystal Core in his hand, and if combined with this blue one, he could perfectly obtain an Orange Rush Crystal Core!

Although he really wanted to get an Orange Self-Healing Crystal Core, if he couldn’t wait, merging with the Rush Ability wouldn’t be bad either.

As for the Shockwave and Toughness, there was no need to mention them;

they were his two main abilities.

Wang Tao took these three crystal cores. Although they were all white and blue, he could synthesize them, so he didn’t mind the lower quality.

The others didn’t oppose it either, as they had already accepted Wang Tao s advice-zombie crystal cores below purple should not be used. White and blue cores had too low of a probability and could easily accumulate impurities in the body.

Then came the zombie crystal cores they had never seen before, a total of

three.

Wang Tao looked at these three crystal cores.

[Level 1 Crystal Core-Sprint]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: feet become larger)]

[Sprint: Consumes energy, dashes forward a short distance]

The first one was a Sprint Crystal Core, with a shadow of a pair of feet inside

the core.

This crystal core differed from the Rush Core by only one word, but the effects were entirely different.

Because Xiang Hongbin told Wang Tao that this Sprint Core came from a Sprinting Zombie.

And the “Sprint” ability of the Sprinting Zombie was to dash forward a few meters momentarily, without any lethality in the sprint itself.

Unlike Rush, which could directly knock a person dead.

But then again, the side effect of Sprint was very minor. The side effect of Rush was limb stiffness. But the side effect of Sprint was only larger feet.

Feet becoming larger can also be a side effect?

Xiang Hongbin had told Wang Tao that the Sprint Zombie he saw, though it had larger feet than ordinary zombies, wasn’t unacceptably large. At most, it meant that normal shoes wouldn’t fit, and custom ones would be needed.

Wang Tao thought that perhaps the stronger the ability in the core, the greater the side effect.

So to judge whether an ability is strong or not, one might look at the severity of its side effects…

The second crystal core was a bit bizarre.

[Level 1 Crystal Core-Mud Swamp]

[Quality: Excellent (40%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: body continuously produces mud)]

[Mud Swamp: Consumes energy, creates a mud swamp around oneself]

This core had a shadow of a mud swamp inside.

Wang Tao found it hard to imagine what the scene would be like if someone merged with this core, when they used their ability.

No, not just when using the ability, according to the side effect description, even when not using the ability, the body would still produce mud… This is practically a cleanliness helper!

just by the literal meaning, it feels like this core might be like the Glutton Core, seeming alright but not being particularly useful.

Finally, there was the last crystal core. Inside this core, there was a semi-transparent figure of a small person.

[Level 1 Crystal Core-Stealth]

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: actions consume double physical strength)] [Stealth: During its duration, conceals own scent, making it less likely to be discovered by other creatures]

Seeing the attributes of this core, Wang Tao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

This ability seems pretty good!

If he’s not mistaken, this core should have come from a Stealth Zombie. The Stealth Zombie that Wang Tao had killed earlier didn’t have much HP, nor did it have a crystal core. But it did produce Stealth Potions..
