Apocalypse: I Can See the Health Bar, Kill Monsters and Drop Treasures Chapter 233

Chapter 233 Why have you become smaller?

Wang Tao feels that the feeling of being promoted to the third level is similar to that of being promoted to the second level.

 He can also pass on a power to others and then learn a new power.

But it's not necessary, including Lan Yulian, they didn't inherit it after their promotion. After all, the abilities they had integrated before were carefully selected by Wang Tao, so there was no need to change to other abilities.

Wang Tao felt refreshed after waking up. The fatigue caused by hunting zombies completely disappeared.

And he can clearly feel that his physical fitness and five senses have improved a lot, which is completely different from that of him at the second level!

 “Wang Tao, you're awake!”

Lan Yulian is already sitting by the bed, and Jiang Shixue and Lu Yingfeng are also there.

“I also slept for 24 hours, right?”

“Exactly 24 hours.”

Wang Tao got up and looked in the mirror. He found that he had grown bigger again!

 Then he measured it with a ruler. He was 1.9 meters tall before, but now he is exactly 2 meters tall!

Wang Tao learned from his observations during this period that people with stronger physiques may grow in size when they are promoted.

For example, several women like Lan Yulian were promoted, even to the third level, but their body shapes have not increased at all. Maybe they are even slimmer?

Only Xu Xiaojun has grown taller and fatter after being promoted, and is now 2.2 meters tall! Especially when he puts on that armor, he feels very oppressive!

Wang Tao is certainly not bad either. With his height of two meters and muscles all over his body, the eyes of Lan Yulian next to him are shining brightly.

Wang Tao clenched his fists and felt the surging power in his body. He said to the three women:

 “I'm going out to test my strength.”

"Together we will!"

 Wang Tao was promoted yesterday in the afternoon, so naturally it is also the afternoon now.

 After going out, Wang Tao looked at the gloomy sky and frowned.

"It is going to rain…"

“It's probably going to rain tonight.”

Lu Yingfeng looked at the sky and said.

“If it rains tonight, I'll leave tomorrow morning.”

Wang Tao said suddenly.

"ah?"

 Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng both looked at Wang Tao in surprise. Lan Yulian's face was even more flustered.

 “Are you leaving tomorrow? So soon! I won't stay for two more days…”

Wang Tao stroked Lan Yulian's little face and explained:

"After the virus broke out, it never rained normally. It either didn't rain, or it rained for many days at once. Although it rained corrosive acid rain and humans couldn't stay in the rain for a long time, it would also weaken the zombies' senses. A lot. So just take precautions and it's a good time to go out.”

 Judging from the few news about Wuyang City, it is very dangerous there.

Even if Wang Tao reaches the third level, he will not be arrogant and think that he is invincible. When going to a dangerous place like Wuyang City, you must be careful. Raining happens to be a good opportunity!

Hearing Wang Tao's explanation, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were silent. They knew that what Wang Tao said was right. It would be more advantageous for Wang Tao to leave at this time. But...I can't bear to part with it!

Originally, the two women were very excited to see Wang Tao's strength, but until Wang Tao finished the test, they both still didn't come back to their senses.

 “Let's go back.”

"Um…"

 After returning to the compound, it was already dark.

Wang Tao went to take a quick shower first, and then took out a lot of things at once.

Including some potions, medical kits, various grenades, armor, hand crossbows, crystal cores that he does not use, etc.

Looking at Wang Tao making a lot of things in an instant, Lan Yulian, who was still a little sad, was slowly diverted.

“These things are left for you, so you can use them sparingly…”

Wang Tao briefly explained the uses of these things.

Especially the [Tree Essence], both of them were a little surprised. This was the first time they saw something that could increase the energy limit!

"After you take it, you can feel whether your energy limit has increased. If it has not increased, don't take it to avoid wasting it. It has a cooling time, but the specific time is not clear. This is related to your respective physiques. …”

This is one of the really good things in Wang Tao's hands, and Wang Tao was not stingy and directly left some of it for them.

The more Lan Yulian sees that Wang Tao treats her well, the more reluctant she is to let him go... But she is not the kind of woman who can't distinguish priorities. Since Wang Tao really doesn't want to stay, she can't force him.

 "Wang Tao, thank you..."

"Thank you, this is not given to you for free. You owe me this, and you will pay it back in the future! Protect your life well, and wait for me to collect interest later!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Lan Yulian didn't say anything anymore, but hugged Wang Tao and gave her a long kiss.

Lu Yingfeng next to her looked helpless.

There is a person next to you, can you pay attention to it?

After parting her lips, Lan Yulian whispered seductively in Wang Tao's ear:

"It's time to rest. I'm going to take a shower first. Just wait for me!"

Wang Tao waved his hand.

 “Go.”

Lan Yulian pulled Lu Yingfeng away.

 After watching the two girls leave, Wang Tao lay casually on the bed and focused on his attribute panel.

  【HP: 30000/30000】

 【Blue amount: 25600/25600】

  【Special Energy: 524200】

 【Level: Level 3】

  【Hidden attributes: physical fitness, night vision, plant affinity】

 【Power: Level 3·Iron Wall (+1), Level 3·Extraordinary Fury (+1), Level 3·Integration and Penetration (+1), Level 3·Yin and Yang Harmony (+1)】

  Thirty thousand HP is nothing to say, but this blue with nearly 25,000 is pretty good. He has been taking tree essence, and he has fused more crystal nuclei than others, so he has more blue energy.

More mana means durability, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in combat effectiveness.

 Furthermore, Wang Tao has just reached the third level and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

 He is now going to try to synthesize a few crystal nuclei. These four powers of his have not been synthesized yet, but they can continue to be synthesized after reaching the third level.

 The first is the state-type [Iron Wall] ability. There are actually quite a few state-type abilities, but many of them are of no use to Wang Tao, so this ability cannot be synthesized now.

 Then there is the active attack type [Fusion] ability. There are relatively few crystal nuclei of this type. Wang Tao has not found any suitable ones, and there is no way to synthesize them for the time being.

As for the mental [Yin-Yang Harmony] ability, Wang Tao has some ideas - he plans to combine [Psychic Shock], [Psychic Defense] and [Perception].

These three abilities are all spiritual, and the success rate of synthesis should be quite high, but unfortunately Wang Tao does not have enough crystal cores.

These crystal nuclei all have side effects, and Wang Tao needs to use three identical crystal nuclei to remove all side effects and impurities.

 So I can only wait and see if I can save a few more coins in the future.

 Finally, there is the passive ability [Extraordinary Fury].

 The most common types of crystal nuclei in Wang Tao's hand are the passive power nuclei, so this power can be synthesized with other powers.

Wang Tao first took out two crystal nuclei.

　　【Photosynthesis: Passive ability, standing in the sun, you can absorb the sun's energy and slowly return to blue】

 【Absorb nutrients: Passive ability, standing on the land, you can absorb nutrients from the land and slowly recover blood】

These two crystal cores were exploded by killing level 3 plant monsters.

Originally Wang Tao only had one of each, but in the past few days he has been hunting zombies outside and encountered several third-level plant monsters. Although it was only at the elite level and didn't explode anything good, it exploded a few crystal cores, which was enough to combine the two crystal nuclei into an epic.

 These two abilities are passive mana recovery and blood recovery. Although they are said to be slow, they do not consume energy. When you have nothing to do, standing on the ground and basking in the sun can restore the blue and blood. Isn't this beautiful?

Wang Tao has always wanted to synthesize these two crystal nuclei, and now he finally has the opportunity.

He first extracted his [Iron Wall] ability, and then fused it with a [Photosynthesis]

Wang Tao looked at the synthesis probability of his passive abilities [Extraordinary Fury] and [Energy Boost].

“92%...the probability is quite high!”

Wang Tao started composing without saying a word.

 There was no accident, it was successful in an instant.

Wang Tao integrated [Absorbing Nutrients] into his body.

 The probability of this synthesis is 94%, it can be synthesized directly. After this crystal core was also synthesized, Wang Tao took out another crystal core.

　　【Physique Improvement: Physical fitness is improved in all aspects】　　　This is the loot package that comes from killing the Night Demon zombies.

The Night Demon does not have any special powers and relies entirely on his physical strength. If Wang Tao didn't use entangled tree roots, his physical fitness would not be as good as Night Demon.

 The reason why the Night Demon's physical fitness is so strong is probably because of this constitution-improving crystal core.

 So Wang Tao regarded it as the last passive ability he synthesized.

However, there are three types of crystal nuclei in the Night Demon's loot package, namely [blood volume increase], [energy increase] and [physical fitness increase].

 【HP increase: Increase the upper limit of HP by 1000】

 【Energy boost: increase the upper limit of mana amount by 1000】

 In fact, Wang Tao also likes these two "blood volume increase" and "energy increase" abilities.

I won't talk about the amount of mana. This is definitely a good thing. If you fuse 10 pieces, it will be 10,000 mana. In the absence of a way to restore mana, this ability is obviously very good.

 Let's just talk about this blood volume. The blood volume it increases belongs to the additional blood volume upper limit!

Meaning, for example, if Wang Tao is currently at level three, his upper limit of blood volume should be 99999. However, if he fuses a [HP Increase] crystal core, his upper limit of blood volume will exceed the original limit and reach 100999 blood!

  If he increases [HP] by +10, then he will have 109999 HP! And he himself is still at the third level!

 This is the additional blood volume limit!

The reason why Wang Tao knows this is because during this period, he has seen too many crystal nuclei and discovered many strange and interesting crystal nuclei. Among them are crystal nuclei that add blood and blue.

Wang Tao specially found someone to conduct an experiment, and then he learned that these blood-increasing crystal nuclei increased the upper limit of blood volume by an additional amount.

However, there are not many crystal nuclei that add blood, and the numbers added are very small. The first-level ones add 10 blood, and the second-level ones add 100 blood. Even if you collect 10 second-level ones, you can only add 1,000 blood.

 【HP increase】can add 1,000 HP. 10 pieces equals 10,000 HP. This is a huge improvement.

Wang Tao used to think that integrating this kind of crystal core to increase the upper limit of blood volume would be a waste. After all, killing zombies will also increase the upper limit of blood volume. Now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

 But unfortunately, Wang Tao has [Photosynthesis] and [Absorption of Nutrients].

Wang Tao was still somewhat torn, and in the end he did not choose [HP increase] or [Energy increase].

However, Wang Tao has an idea about these two crystal nuclei, and he plans to try it later...

 After Wang Tao synthesized this [Physique Improvement], his new ability appeared.

 【Third-level ability·Violent increase】

[Violent Amplification: Passive ability, which can increase strength, defense, spirit, running speed, athletic ability, throwing skills, and physical fitness; standing in the sun can absorb the energy of the sun and slowly return to blue; standing on the land, you can absorb the energy of the land Nutrients, slowly returning blood; when the blood volume is less than 30%, triggering a violent rage (side effects: none)]

Looking at this large list of entries, Wang Tao grinned. This looks really cool!

Then Wang Tao extracted the two abilities [Integration] and [Yin-Yang Harmony]. There is only one [Frenzy Amplifier] left on him.

 The reason why we do this is naturally because we need to fuse the all-powerful crystal core.

  After all, the other three abilities have not yet been synthesized, and only the violent increase has reached the upper limit. In order to prevent the almighty crystal core from upgrading those three abilities, they naturally have to be extracted.

 Wang Tao also has a lot of third-level all-powerful crystal cores in his hand. Killing zombies by leapfrogging is especially easy to explode the two types of crystal cores, [Almighty] and [Promotion].

  After a while.

 【Third-level power·Rage increase (+10)】

 The level of this ability is directly filled up!

Since Wang Tao's passive ability contains attributes such as strength and constitution, the feeling after its level is raised to +10 is relatively intuitive.

Wang Tao can obviously feel that his attributes have become much stronger!

He felt that if he were to fight a third-level Night Demon again, even if he didn't need to wrap around tree roots or use other powers, he would be able to suppress the Night Demon with just his physical fitness!

 This is not arrogance, but confidence in my improvement this time!

Wang Tao is going to go back and find some night demons to try his hand at...

 After feeling his improvement for a while, Wang Tao turned his attention to [HP increase] and [Energy increase].

Since the fusion of these two powers will increase the blood volume and mana volume, Wang Tao has an idea to synthesize these two crystal nuclei as an emergency ability!

A blood volume increase of +10 can increase the current blood volume and the upper limit of blood volume by 10,000. If Wang Tao suddenly extracts other powers when he is low on blood, and then fuses this +10 blood volume increase into his body, is it equivalent to gaining 10,000 more blood instantly?

If this is true, then this is the life-saving ability at critical moments! If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter. Anyway, Wang Tao has a lot of special energy now. He had only used 180,000 yuan just now, but now he still had more than 340,000 yuan left, which was enough for him to give it a try.

Wang Tao fused the two crystal cores and got a new ability [blood power increase], and then he used the all-powerful crystal core to increase this new ability by 10.

 【Third-level power·Blood energy improvement (+10)】

 【Blood energy improvement: Passive ability, increase blood volume by 10,000, increase mana volume by 10,000】

 At this time, Wang Tao's blood volume has increased by 10,000, and his mana volume has increased by 14,400!

 The reason why the amount of blue has increased so much is because the fusion crystal core itself adds blue amount. These crystal nuclei are fused one by one, which naturally adds a lot of blue amount.

Health boost is a very simple and unpretentious ability that should be of great use at critical moments.

But it can only be used at critical moments. Normally, the other four main abilities must be used.

 So Wang Tao is going to extract it and replace it with his main ability.

 It took 30,000 special energy to successfully extract the [blood energy improvement] ability and turned it into a crystal nucleus.

Just when Wang Tao was about to fuse the two extracted powers into his body, he was suddenly startled.

 “Huh? How come my health and mana are not reduced?”

Theoretically speaking, after he extracted the crystal core, the bonus to his body would be gone, as would his health, mana, etc. But now...it still exists!

 And the [blood energy enhancement] crystal core he extracted was still lying in his backpack!

“Are the blood volume and blue volume different from other attributes? Then if I continue to fuse the 'blood energy improvement' crystal core, can I continue to increase the blood and blue energy?”

Wang Tao suddenly became excited. Did he find a bug in this world?

Hence, immediately prepare to fuse this [Level 3 power·Blood energy enhancement (abandoned)] crystal core again.

 As a result, Wang Tao found that he could not fuse! And he didn't look carefully just now, but now he discovered that the name of the extracted crystal nucleus had changed. Normally, the brackets should be "+10", but it turned out to be "obsolete"!

 “Fuck! I knew there was a bug…”

Wang Tao was suddenly a little disappointed. If this bug really existed, then he could increase its health and blue bars infinitely through the two steps of extraction and fusion, but unfortunately he couldn't.

However, Wang Tao is not disappointed. Although he cannot increase his attributes infinitely, he has integrated the attributes of this crystal core into his body.

 After Wang Tao fuses the other two extracted abilities again, Wang Tao will look at his own attributes.

  【HP: 40000/40000】

 【Blue amount: 40000/40000】

 40,000 blood, 40,000 blue!

In this short period of time, Wang Tao's strength has improved again!

 It's a bit cool!

 It's a pity that this kind of thing can only happen once. It would be better if it could happen more times.

Wang Tao looked at the abandoned orange crystal core. Its appearance was golden, and he didn't even know it was abandoned.

Perhaps if you don't like someone in the future, you can use this crystal core to trick them?

 The crystal nuclei extracted from Wang Tao's synthesized powers cannot be used by others. But if it is a intact crystal core, Wang Tao will definitely not be willing to take it out to waste. And this crystal core has been discarded. It would be good if it could be reused.

And Wang Tao suddenly thought, since this is not a bug, but a mechanical problem with this ability, can others use it in this way?

For example, if you let Blue Jade Lotus fuse with the [HP Increase] crystal core, and then use the peeling crystal core to peel it off, will Blue Jade Lotus also have 10,000 more blood?

However, Wang Tao only has second-order peeling cores in his hand, not third-order ones. Lan Yulian is now at level three, so she can no longer use it.

 “Let's go back and find a second-level person to try it out…”

 If it is really feasible, then this is also an alternative way to improve your strength!

 At this time, Wang Tao heard someone entering the house.

Then there was a pop and the lights in the room went out.

Wang Tao could feel a person approaching the bed. He raised an eyebrow.

“Lan Yulian, what do you mean, do you want to play role-playing? Okay, then I will cooperate with you.”

Wang Tao lay on the bed without getting up or opening his eyes. Pretending to be asleep.

Then Wang Tao felt that Lan Yulian had been lingering in front of his bed for a long time but could not come over. There seems to be some... hesitation?

Wang Tao suddenly felt a little hopeful. In fact, although Lan Yulian often sticks with Wang Tao, she is actually quite old-fashioned in some aspects... Wang Tao feels that Lan Yulian may have brought her new tricks this time.

 After a while, Lan Yulian seemed to have made up her mind, and slowly came to the bedside, and then climbed up quietly, deliberately not touching Wang Tao, for fear of waking Wang Tao.

Wang Tao didn't know what the trick was. He felt that with Lan Yulian's character, she should hug him directly? Did she want to wait for him to take the initiative?

So, Wang Tao suddenly reached out and hugged the person who had just been lying next to him.

 “Hmm~”

The other person seemed to be startled, and his whole body tensed up.

Wang Tao was stunned.

 “Hmm? Why have you become smaller?”
