Chapter 441: Chapter 198 Upgrade Operation_1
[Super Berserker: Passive Ability, which can increase: strength, running speed, agility, and throwing skills. HP below 30%, trigger berserk (side effect: none)]
Seeing the attributes of this ability, Wang Tao’s mouth almost split to his ears.
What’s called amazing? This is amazing! This one ability could match someone else’s full set of powers!
Wang Tao then continued to check the crystal cores in his Space Backpack and decided to upgrade the high-frequency vibration ability to level two.
This ability’s attack is really powerful, and now Wang Tao has a very decent Bone Knife, which fits perfectly with this ability.
But Wang Tao could only fuse four crystal cores, and now he had Shockwave, Barrier, Super Berserker, Precision Shooting, and high-frequency vibration, these five abilities.
So Wang Tao planned to temporarily put Precision Shooting on ice.
After all, his Super Berserker included Throwing Master, which is kind of like half a Precision Shooting, admittedly not as good for long-range, but still decent for mid-range combat.
Anyway, as long as he had enough special energy, he could switch abilities later!
After using a level 2 ability to promote high-frequency vibration to level two, Wang Tao unexpectedly discovered that Shockwave and high-frequency vibration could be synthesized!
[Shockwave + high-frequency vibration (91%)]
The probability isn’t lower; without much hesitation, Wang Tao immediately went for the synthesis, placing high-frequency vibration in the main position. Since he had more Shockwave crystal cores, if he ran out of Shockwaves, he could fuse more. But if he lost the high-frequency vibration, it would be gone for good.
[Synthesis successful, obtained a new ability: Level 2 Level 1 Vibration Shock]
Wang Tao’s face did not show surprise; his luck had always been good. With such high chances, it was unlikely to fail.
[Vibration Shock: Consumes energy, can use high-frequency vibration, shockwave]
Wang Tao thought it would synthesize into an ability that combines both, but to his surprise, it allowed for individual usage. But this was even better, more convenient to use.
Having successfully fused these two abilities, Wang Tao now had a slot open!
After checking his crystal cores, Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless. He didn’t have enough crystal cores.
Precision Shooting could be set aside for now, he’ll fuse it when needed.
What he wanted to fuse the most was Perception, but unfortunately, he had only one Perception crystal core.
And the side effect of this Perception crystal core was, if not fused by a female, Perception ability would decrease by 50%.
If he were to fuse, he’d definitely choose a crystal core without side effects, especially when the side effect was so troublesome.
Perception would have to wait for now.
As for the other crystal cores… Wang Tao felt that none of them suited him, so he ended up fusing a level 1 Sprint crystal core and promoted it to 10.
[Sprint: Consumes energy, sprints forward a short distance]
This ability was quite good for close combat, relatively suitable for the current Wang Tao.
Wang Tao looked at his attributes once again.
[Special Energy: 26140]
[Internal Impurity: 1%]
[Abilities: Level 2 Vibration Shock +1, Level 2 Barrier +1, Level 2 Super Berserker +1, Level 1 Sprint +10]
Besides Sprint, the other three abilities were synthesized abilities, all at +1.
At this point, using a level 2 Omnipotent Crystal Core wouldn’t be a loss for Wang Tao, but considering he still wanted to continue synthesizing in the future, using the Omnipotent Crystal Core now would still result in a downgrade later.
So it was better to wait a bit longer until all the abilities were synthesized to their limits before using the Omnipotent Crystal Core. As for that 1% Internal Impurity, it would also have to wait.
Wang Tao woke up feeling refreshed. All the negative states from yesterday were gone.
Jiang Shixue and Xu Xiaojun were basically fine, only Nie Siyan still had some aftereffects. She stayed in her room, not daring to go out.
Wang Tao went in to check on Nie Siyan, and when she saw him, it was as if she saw something that angered her, and she subconsciously wanted to attack Wang Tao.
But she stopped quickly, threw down the steel pipe in her hand, and knelt before Wang Tao.
“Brother Wang, I didn’t mean it, I thought you were Huang Wu…”
Wang Tao knew it wasn’t her fault; her spiritual power was just too weak, and the aftereffects were too severe for her.
But compared to yesterday, it was much better. At least she could recognize Wang Tao quickly now.
After ensuring Nie Siyan was not in any danger to her life, Wang Tao left. He planned to continue scouring the locations he had marked on the map today, looking for level 3 zombies.
Encountering a level 4 monster yesterday was purely accidental. Currently in Zijing City, level 2 zombies were not very common, level 3 zombies even less so, and the chance of encountering fourth-level zombies was probably about the same as winning the lottery. He didn’t believe he’d encounter one today.
The trio drove away from the arcade.
However, after wandering around for a day, Wang Tao became a bit frustrated.
Indeed, there were no fourth-level creatures today, but he also didn’t encounter any level 3s. He only found some level 2 zombies and quite a few level 1 zombies.
Wang Tao hardly moved a muscle the whole day; it was all dealt with by Xu Xiaojun. Today was definitely a fruitful day for Xu Xiaojun. His HP had already reached over 20,000, striving toward 29999.
When they returned to the arcade in the evening, Wang Tao went to check on Nie Siyan’s condition again.
She was much better than she was in the morning, able to go out and handle some affairs within the base.
“Brother Wang, I’ll be fine by tomorrow, really!”
Nie Siyan appeared somewhat flattered by Wang Tao’s concern.
