Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

“`

The “Swimming Champion” ability seems pretty good. Passive abilities don’t need mana to use, which is essentially a permanent enhancement to physical attributes. If there’s a chance, it might be worth trying to synthesize it with other passive abilities…

Then there’s the second Loot Pack.

All potions inside, two types in total.

[Obtained: Breath-holding Potion x10]

The first one is the Breath-holding Potion, which is quite effective, allowing one to hold their breath for ten minutes. Wang Tao already has dozens of bottles, but unfortunately, no blueprints.

[Obtained: Infertility Treatment Potion x10]

[Infertility Treatment Potion: Capable of treating most infertility issues]

“?”

Killed a Zombie Fish and got medicine for treating infertility? How absurd is this!

But then thinking about the multitude of fish eggs, it seems reasonable, doesn’t it?

Without a doubt, this is good stuff.

If it were before the apocalypse, it probably would fetch a good price since many people have such issues. Even now, in the apocalypse, there might still be people troubled by this problem…

Wang Tao definitely doesn’t need it, but he could sell it to those in need later.

Lastly, the final Loot Pack.

[Obtained: Diving Suit x1]

[Diving Suit: Durability +30, Tear Resistance +30, can stay at about twenty meters underwater for an hour. Oxygen tank automatically replenishes air— fully recharges in 10 hours of exposure to the open air.]

Inside is a set of black clothes that look like a frogman’s gear, but this suit is exceptional. It’s a diving suit complete with an oxygen tank, a propeller, and it looks quite impressive.

And this one automatically replenishes oxygen! Like charging for 10 hours, to last for 1 hour of use.

It’s not something Wang Tao can wear regularly, but it might come in handy in critical moments.

But Wang Tao doesn’t dare to casually enter the water anymore since he’s confirmed there might be Zombie Fish in it. Like the Level 3 Fish Zombie Lord he encountered today—if Wang Tao had encountered it in the water, he would have most likely been dead…

Even the Level 2 Zombie Fish he killed effortlessly, if it was in water, it’s uncertain whether he would have been able to defeat it.

Besides the loot from this Level 3 Zombie Fish, Wang Tao has also killed some Level 1 and Level 2 Elite Zombies, but only got some more Breath-holding Potions and Aquatic Breath crystals.

He feels that apart from the Level 3 Zombie Fish, the others are rather weak, even the Elites, as they don’t seem to have any abilities. He hasn’t seen other crystals appear. Maybe because these fish were cultivated by the Level 3 Fish Lord? It does have so many eggs…

No matter what, the haul was great this time.

“Wang Tao!”

Yang Changhong and the others had just finished cleaning up the battlefield, and she approached with a cloth bag.

“These Crystal Cores are for you, after all, you discovered them, and you dealt with the Level 3 Zombie Fish, saving us from a crisis…”

All the Crystal Cores in the bag were “Aquatic Breath,” ranging from Level 1 to Level Two.

Wang Tao had already explained the ability of this crystal to them, and they all expressed no desire to merge with it.

While the Aquatic Breath ability is strong, it would cause gills and scales to grow on the body. Moreover, with Zombie Fish present in the water, they would only enter the water if absolutely necessary, making these crystals practically useless to them.

“Okay, thanks.”

Wang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony and simply accepted them.

Even though these crystals aren’t of much use to him personally, they can be used to nurture the Entangling Roots. Why refuse something that’s free?

“We should be thanking you!”

Yang Changhong said with a smile.

Her own improvement was not small, and her entire team’s strength had risen! If not for Wang Tao, they couldn’t have possibly had such gains.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yang Changhong suggested:

“As for what’s next, I propose we rest well here tonight and set off early tomorrow morning, aiming to reach Zijing City quickly…”

“Yes, let everyone have a good rest.”

These people have been fishing with such excitement in the past few days that they haven’t slept well. Continuing the journey after a good rest wouldn’t be too late.

In the evening, Wang Tao used the Zombie Culture Fluid on Jiang Shixue again.

Jiang Shixue’s HP reached 29200; one more treatment and she could hit the upper limit for Level Two HP!

Then Wang Tao found that the Tree Essence Liquid was available for use again. However, only he and Jiang Shixue could use it; Xu Xiaojun had tried it without any effect. Could it be that the cooldown time for using Tree Essence Liquid is related to strength?

Though somewhat puzzled, Wang Tao didn’t overthink it and just drank it.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue each drank 10 shares because the cooldown had reached a point where they could only consume 10, with any more being ineffective.

Afterward, there was no change in Wang Tao’s HP, but his mana increased to 8000!

As for Jiang Shixue, her HP finally hit 29999! No need to wait for another nurturing session!

“Can you feel what you need to do to ascend to Level 3?”

Wang Tao asked curiously.

“I… don’t know.”

Jiang Shixue looked somewhat lost.

When Wang Tao reached this HP level, he could clearly feel he needed to upgrade all his Abilities to Level 3 before he could ascend.

So he wanted to know if Jiang Shixue had any feeling about it. But it seemed she still couldn’t sense anything.

Wang Tao thought for a moment and took out an outstanding quality Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core. Jiang Shixue’s impurity level was already at 100%, so there was no need to worry about impurities or to have Wang Tao do the synthesis.
