Chapter 352: Chapter 168 Ultraviolet Light_2, The HP cap increase was quite substantial; however, this was due to an over-level kill which tripled the amount. Normally, it should have been 1500… But regardless, this HP boost feels great!, 30,000 HP is Level 3, and Wang Tao is not far from reaching Level 3 now., When he had reached 10,000 HP, it did not trigger any sleep mechanism; he could feel a direct and considerable strength increase. This was great; it wasn’t as troublesome as before., And since it was an over-level kill, there was naturally Special Energy involved. Wang Tao’s Special Energy also increased by 4500, and now it was at 7740!, He needed 5000 Special Energy to fuse a Level 2 Ability, so he was ready for another fusion! But he’d have to think carefully about which abilities to fuse…, Last was the loot, the blood-red zombie had dropped three bags., And inside the first bag was a Crystal Core Gift Bag., Wang Tao found this somewhat speechless, as the zombie itself didn’t drop a Crystal Core, but the bag contained one… that was kind of interesting., There were four Crystal Cores in total inside the bag., Upon seeing the attributes of the first Crystal Core, Wang Tao’s face lit up with joy., Level 3 Crystal Core – Ascension, Quality: Excellent (80%), Purity: 40% (Side effect: None), This was a Crystal Core that was even bigger than the Level 2 ones., “It’s actually a Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core…”, Although he couldn’t use it right now, it would be essential when he ascended to Level 3 in the future. Having this Crystal Core would save him a lot of time., And as Wang Tao had guessed, the purity had decreased by another 5% with Level 3, only at 40%…, Level 3 Crystal Core – Energy Boost, Quality: Excellent (60%), Purity: 40% (Side effect: None), Energy Boost: Increases the Mana cap by 1000, The second Crystal Core was an Energy Enhancement one, and on seeing this Core’s description, Wang Tao furrowed his brows., This was a Core that directly increased the Mana cap., 1000 Mana was a lot, equivalent to the Mana added by ten Level 1 Crystal Cores or five Level 2 ones. But just increasing Mana wasn’t very useful; it had to be used in conjunction with other abilities., This Crystal Core could be said to be good, but also somewhat of a redundant feature—wait a minute!, Wang Tao suddenly thought of something!, He could fuse his own abilities. If he were to fuse this ability with another, wouldn’t that negate the redundancy?, And he also had the Extraction ability. If he fused this Core to gain a 1000 Mana cap increase and then extracted the core, would he keep the increased Mana cap?, If the enhanced Mana cap remained, wasn’t that akin to exploiting a bug?, Unfortunately, Wang Tao hadn’t reached Level 3 yet, so he couldn’t do the fusion. Otherwise, he would have certainly given it a try!, “I’ll keep the Crystal Core for now and try it later to see if it works!”, Level 3 Crystal Core – HP Boost, Quality: Excellent (40%), Purity: 40% (Side effect: None), HP Boost: Increases HP cap by 1000, The third Crystal Core was an HP Enhancement Core that could increase the HP cap by 1000., It might seem similar to the Energy Boost Crystal Core, but HP and Mana were different, as HP had a cap., If other abilities hadn’t ascended, then the HP would be capped, and this HP boost would become irrelevant… Plus, killing zombies also awarded increased HP cap, which definitely seemed more cost-effective than fusing Crystal Cores. After all, Wang Tao got an increase of 4500 HP from killing a Level 3 zombie, whereas this Core only added 1000 HP., This HP Enhancement Crystal Core was somewhat underwhelming…, Unless it could break through the cap. For example, if you were stuck at 4999 HP and it could boost you to 5999 HP, then this Core would be useful., “I’ll test it out later when I have the chance, to see what exactly this HP boost is all about.”, Level 3 Crystal Core – Body Constitution Boost, Quality: Epic (100%), Purity: 40% (Side effect: None), Physical Enhancement: Provides an all-around enhancement of physical constitution, The last Crystal Core was a Body Constitution Enhancement one, and this too came as a surprise to Wang Tao., Personally, he felt this Core was better than the HP Enhancement, being on par with the Energy Boost Core., However, similar to the Energy Boost Core, if used alone, the effects might not be great. But if combined with other abilities, it should be quite remarkable., Of course, Wang Tao could fuse and extract abilities. So he also put this type of Crystal Core into his experimental category, hoping to synthesize or extract it later to see. If he could fuse the HP Boost, Energy Boost, and Physical Enhancement into a single ability, that would be awesome!, Wang Tao stored the Crystal Cores, then turned his attention to the second bag that the blood-red zombie had dropped. This bag contained potions., Strength Growth Potion x5, Agility Increase Potion x5, Mental Boosting Potion x5, A total of 15 potions!, And they weren’t for temporary state enhancement; they were for permanent attribute boosts!, Strength Increase Potion: After injection, strength will receive a certain degree of permanent enhancement, Agility Increase Potion: After injection, agility will receive a certain degree of permanent enhancement, Mental Boosting Potion: After injection, spirit will receive a certain degree of permanent enhancement, Wang Tao had previously killed a gorilla zombie that dropped five Strength Growth Potions. After injecting them, he had felt the effects were quite profound., Without hesitation, Wang Tao promptly injected the 15 potions into his body one by one., “Hiss…”, After the injection was complete, Wang Tao felt wonderfully refreshed. The enhancement was obvious!
