Chapter 1720: Chapter 727: New Discoveries in Synthetic Crystal Core_2

[Level 2 Crystal Core·Blood Volume]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: None)]

[Blood Volume: Increases HP limit by 10] Correct content is on

The Level 1 Blood Volume Crystal Core increased the HP limit by 10. The Level 2 Blood Volume Crystal Core still only increases the HP limit by 10...

"Judging by this, the HP limit for humans in this life is much lower compared to the previous life. Maybe the Level 2 HP limit is only two thousand..."

This is not a good message. It doesn’t affect Wang Tao much, but for other humans, the survival difficulty will increase significantly. After all, with only a little over a thousand HP, encountering a Lord Rank monster might mean getting slain in one hit.

A total of 10 Level 2 Elite Zombie Rats were all killed by Wang Tao. So Wang Tao looted 20 high-quality Crystal Cores, all of which were [Blood Volume].

However, Level 2 Crystal Cores have a purity of 45%. To fuse into a 100% purity core, two Crystal Cores are not enough; three Level 2 Crystal Cores are needed. But using three cores would result in some waste...

Wang Tao had complained about this in his previous life, but there was nothing he could do. This thing won’t change based on his will; he can only adapt to it.

However, when Wang Tao put these Level 2 Crystal Cores into his Space Backpack to synthesize, his expression suddenly froze.

He then realized that synthesizing Level 2 Crystal Cores in this life was somewhat different than in the past life.

In the previous life, he could only synthesize one 100% purity core at a time, and any excess purity would be wasted.

But now it’s different. Multiple cores can be synthesized at once, and any excess purity will be transferred to other cores of the same type. As long as they are synthesized in the same batch, the waste is minimal, almost none.

Simply put, under the conditions of the last life, with these 20 Level 2 Crystal Cores, Wang Tao could only synthesize 6 cores of 100% purity.

Now, the total purity of these 20 cores is 900%, meaning Wang Tao could synthesize 9 cores of 100% purity without any waste.

This is definitely good news for Wang Tao. In the future, it will save him Big Crystal Cores, indirectly speeding up his Ascension. f.(r)eew ebnov\ll.com

Wang Tao immediately fused these 9 Epic Crystal Cores of 100% purity, and shortly after, his HP was increased by 90, reaching 1090 points.

Although this HP is indeed a bit lacking compared to his previous life, it could still be enhanced, and Wang Tao didn’t ask for too much.

"Meow~"

At this time, Taxue also gathered all the spoils of war, holding a backpack in its mouth to hand to Wang Tao.

"Good job! Let’s go back."

Wang Tao patted Taxue’s little head. Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to think of something and returned to the courtyard.

The two of Ou Yingying had already been gnawed to only their upper bodies by the Zombie Rats. If Wang Tao hadn’t appeared and diverted the Zombie Rats’ attention, they might not even have bones left.

Seeing such a bloody scene, Wang Tao’s expression remained unchanged. He rummaged through Ou Yingying’s half-corpse but found nothing in her pockets. Then he searched the room and finally found a phone under the table.

The phone had fallen, but thanks to its thick case, it was still in good condition. Wang Tao searched on the ground and found one of Ou Yingying’s hands. Since she had just died, her fingerprints could still unlock the phone.

After unlocking the phone, Wang Tao casually browsed the chat history and silently nodded to himself, and then he left with Taxue.

Wang Tao did not return directly to Shuize Base. Instead, he made a detour to the community where Blondy Wu Fei lived and found him again.

"I just went to where your girlfriend was. But there were only your girlfriend and a man there, no one else. Moreover, the place was overrun, and they both died, leaving only a phone... I have other things to do; the rescue will arrive soon, so hold on."

Before Wu Fei could react, Wang Tao shoved the phone into his hands and left immediately. He had already removed the phone’s password, letting Wu Fei find out for himself.

"Yingying is dead?"

Wu Fei seemed unable to accept this result. In a daze, he picked up the phone. He knew it was indeed his girlfriend’s phone because he had bought her this top-model phone on an installment plan for over ten thousand last year, and it wasn’t fully paid off yet.

With a casual swipe, the phone unlocked.

Instinctively, Wu Fei opened the photo album, wanting to see his girlfriend’s picture again. But upon opening it, he saw a highly revealing image, and the subject was none other than Ou Yingying.

"Why would she take such pictures—wait, who took them for her?"

Wu Fei quickly scrolled back, his face growing more unsightly. Besides Ou Yingying, there were men in the photos, not just one!

He immediately opened the chat app, and upon seeing the chat logs, his face turned dark red with rage.

"Damn! To think I treated you so well... You deserved it! You deserved what happened! Serves you right! Waaa..."

...

"With Wu Fei’s mindset, he might be temporarily affected, but he’ll soon recover. Without the influence of this deceitful woman, his ceiling in this life won’t be low..."

Wang Tao murmured.

By now, the sun had set. Wang Tao had been busy for most of the day and finally returned to Shuize Base. During this outing, many things happened and he gained a lot, but all he felt was one word—tired.

Even though annihilating zombies was thrilling, killing so many and flying for so long was physically exhausting. All he wanted now was a good meal and some rest.

Wang Tao first went to the integrated building and found Wei Zhenguo to inquire about their subsequent rescue plans.

"Our rescue operation was a complete success! All thanks to you!"

Wei Zhenguo and a few others sincerely thanked Wang Tao. The rescue was their duty, and Wang Tao wasn’t obligated to assist them. The fact that Wang Tao did help was solely due to his high moral character, for which they were genuinely grateful.

Moreover, Wei Zhenguo and the others had already discussed giving Wang Tao a position, making him one of the highest administrators of Shuize Base. Whether it was his strength or his character, he was more than suited for the role.

Wang Tao wasn’t aware of their intentions, and even if he was, he wouldn’t care. He didn’t mind such matters, and considering the Zombie Rat groups, it might not be long before Shuize Base had to relocate.

Perhaps it’s time to prepare in advance, considering where to move so many people from Shuize Base. Changhe Base was too far away to move too many people there for now...

However, there’s a Red Stone Base next to Shuize County. The first wave of military-organized evacuations took the surviving there to Red Stone Base.

Theoretically, Red Stone Base had the potential to become a Changhe Base. But in the previous life, Red Stone Base was long overrun, and now its current situation was unknown. Perhaps a reconnaissance might be worthwhile since it’s not too far...

In contemplation, Wang Tao said his goodbyes to Wei Zhenguo and the others and returned to the villa.

Ding Yuqin, Li Qiuyu, and Jiang Shixue were all in the kitchen cooking. Han Rui hadn’t woken up yet, as she was indeed too exhausted. But Wang Tao found Han Rui wasn’t sleeping in her room but in his own. What was the meaning behind this?

"Brother, you’re back!"

Upon seeing Wang Tao return, Jiang Shixue hurriedly ran over and examined his hands closely. Seeing that he was unharmed, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ding Yuqin and Li Qiuyu also approached, expressing their concern for Wang Tao.

"Today went smoothly. Just feeling a bit hungry now."

Wang Tao laughed.

"Dinner will be ready soon!"

Ding Yuqin quickly ran back into the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Li Qiuyu whispered to Wang Tao:

"Uh, should we wake up that person in your room?"

They had obviously noticed the additional person in the house.

Wang Tao nodded.

"I’ll go."
