BXBX NOVEL Chapter 111 - 89: Merging Two Epic Crystal Cores 2
The success rate of fusing White Zombie Cores is roughly 20%, and these are the lowest quality cores. For blue ones, it’s 40%… Don’t ask howl know, once you become Ability Users, you’ll just sense it.”
Wang Tao certainly couldn’t explain his special ability, so he attributed everything to being an Ability User. If others couldn’ t discover it after becoming Ability Users themselves, then it could only be said that people are different…
“Only 40%!”
Ren Jie shook his head.
A probability of less than 50% didn’t seem high.
Of course, that was still much better than the 20% for White ones.
It was only then that everyone understood why Wang Tao’s expression had been a bit strange just now. It turned out that all the Zombie Cores they had were of the lowest quality…
There are even higher-quality cores, with Purple ones at 60%, Red at 80% and Orange at 100%!”
*Hiss—*
“So you’re saying, if I can get an Orange Zombie Core, my chances of becoming an Ability User are 100%?”
Lu Gang was somewhat excited.
Although he had strong self-control, this didn’t mean he didn’t want to become an Ability User.
The main reason for his self-control was that he wasn’t sure if there were any downsides to eating these Zombie Cores-fortunately, he hadn’t eaten any, as he had learned from Wei Zhenguo that the cores all contained impurities which would accumulate whether the fusion was successful or not!
“Yes,” Wang Tao nodded, then added, “So I suggest, if you all really want to try fusing with Zombie Cores to become Ability Users, it’s best to choose Purple Red, or Orange ones.”? ’
“What kind of core did you fuse with when you gained your ability?”
Wei Zhenguo asked curiously.
“Orange.”
Wang Tao had indeed fused with an Orange core, albeit through the synthesis of two cores.
“No wonder!”
The crowd suddenly realized why none of them had gained an ability from their experiments while Wang Tao had-turns out he used a core with a 100% fusion success rate!
So, do you ail still agree to let me use this core?”
Wang Tao displayed the Blue Crystal Core in his hand.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the success rate of Blue Crystal Cores was higher than that of White ones, a probability of 40% was still low. An unsuccessful fusion with a Zombie Core could lead to accumulation of impurities in the body, which could eventually turn someone into a zombie! It was a bit risky, and even Xiang Hongbin, who had already fused with a Zombie Core, wanted to play it safe this time.
“Alright, I’ll take it then.”
Wang Tao nodded, then cast his gaze once more upon the other Zombie Cores which he had not yet had the chance to properly examine.
There were a total of seven Zombie Cores, including three [Level 1 Crystal Cores – Self Detonation], one [Level 1 Crystal Core – Glutton], one [Level 1 Crystal Core – Toughness], one [Level 1 Crystal Core – Self-healing], and one [Level 1 Crystal Core – Rush].
Apart from “Self-healing,” Wang Tao had seen all of the others. And it seemed that, except for Self Detonation and Glutton, he could use the rest!
“Cough, to be honest with you guys, I’ve found that these cores seem to be useful to me…”
Everyone:
Zem all? S°me th6m? Wang Ta° thinking °f taking
Even though these were just White Rank, Ordinary Zombie Cores, it still wasn’t right to take them all away. Besides, everyone would definitely not agree to it. However, Wang Tao quickly added:
“Of course, it wouldn’t be right for me to take all of them, so how about I take two more? What do you think?”
*Phew—*
Upon hearing that Wang Tao would take only two more, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sure!”
Wei Zhenguo was the first to nod, and the others also expressed their agreement.
Counting the Blue Crystal Core from before, that made a total of eight cores Wang Tao would be taking three-he was taking many, but for them, it was still acceptable. It was better than Wang Tao taking them all.
Wang Tao naturally chose [Iron Skin] and [Self-healing] as the two additional cores.
He had obtained an “Excellent (80%)” Toughness core the day before. Coupled wtth this “Ordinary (20%)” one, he could now create an Epic Crystal Core.
Getting two Epic Crystal Cores in one day felt great!
As for the [Self-healing], while Wang Tao didn’t need it immediately, it represented a significant Ability!
[Level 1 Crystal Core – Self-healing]
[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Reduced tactile sensation)]
[Self-healing: Over a duration, allows slow recovery from certain injuries] If he gamed the Self-healing ability, combined with Iron Skin, wouldn’t he become an indestructible cockroach? But the specifics would only be known after gaining the ability. For now, he’d keep the core, which might come in handy later.
As for the [Rush] Crystal Core, although Wang Tao could use it, his current Rush Crystal Core was of “Excellent (60%)” Quality. Even adding this Core would only make it 80%, not the 100% Epic Quality. Naturally, he would not use it. He didn’t want to accumulate impurities within his body.
After taking the two Zombie Cores, Wang Tao asked about the specifics of this Self-healing zombie, in case he had the chance to encounter it in the future and needed to be cautious.
Lu Gang told him it was an obese zombie. When he had sniped it before, he thought he had killed it each time, but it didn’t die. It took several shots to finally kill it…
Wang Tao mentally noted the appearance of this particular zombie to be wary in the future.
Of course, Wang Tao also inquired about the origin of the Iron Skin Zombie Core. They had encountered a large horde of zombies half a month ago and killed them just by spraying them with gunfire. The Defense was high on the tough ones, but they couldn’t withstand a barrage of bullets.
