Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Quality of the Crystal Core 1, Translator: 549690239 J —, Wang Tao had previously thought that all crystal cores had side effects, but it now seems that this isn’t the case., Every crystal core contains impurities, but that doesn’t mean they definitely have side effects-those side effects refer to the obvious ones like photophobia or excessive obesity., Impurities themselves are a kind of side effect-too much accumulation poses the risk of turning into a zombie! However, this is a result of long-term accumulation. They are different…, Furthermore, when Wang Tao saw that this crystal core had no side effects he was quite surprised. But after seeing its ability introduction, he instantly understood., No wonder the ability’s name is Self Detonation. This damn thing is literally an ability for self-detonation! One can use it only once in a lifetime!, For Wang Tao himself, the uselessness of this Self-Destruct Crystal Core is on par with the Glutton Crystal Core he had previously consumed as a material. After all, Wang Tao wouldn’t choose to integrate either of these two types of crystal cores., Of course, these two crystal cores would definitely still be of some use to others., After all, once someone becomes an ability user, their physical condition would improve significantly, making it worth it even if they didn’t use their abilities. Then, Wang Tao reminisced about the differences among these crystal cores. Up to now, he had obtained a total of four zombie cores., They were two Shockwave Crystal Cores, one Glutton Crystal Core, and today’s Self-Destruct Crystal Core., These four crystal cores, apart from having different types, also have different qualities. Only their purity is the same, all at 50%…, Therefore, Wang Tao had reason to speculate that the purity of Level 1 crystal cores was probably all 50%, but as for higher-level crystal cores, whether their purity would be higher or lower, Wang Tao felt that it would most likely decrease…, As for the quality of the crystal cores, Wang Tao’s four cores are of four different quality levels, each with a different color. These are a 20% fusion success rate White Rank, Ordinary items; 40% Blue Excellent; 60% Purple Excellent; and 80% Red Superior., Wang Tao had previously synthesized two Shockwave cores and obtained an Orange Epic with a 100% success rate., So looking at it this way, the situation becomes quite clear—, The quality of crystal cores should have five categories, ranked from low to high according to the success rate of fusion, namely:, White Rank, Ordinary (20%), Blue Excellent (40%), Purple Excellent (60%), Red Superior (80%), Orange Epic (100%)!, Although the Orange Epic was synthesized by him, since such a thing exists, he thinks that it should be possible to drop one. If someone were to drop an Epic Crystal Core, that would undoubtedly be incredibly lucky., Of course, even if they are not Orange Epic, Purple Excellent and Red Superior are also good, at least the fusion success rate exceeds 50%., For Wang Tao, the most cost-effective method at the moment is to synthesize two crystal cores whose combined quality can reach 100%., Because after synthesis, the purity of crystal cores also adds up. Currently, the purity of Level 1 crystal cores is 50%; two of them add up to just 100%, so ’ using three crystal cores for synthesis would be a bit of a waste of purity., “Gulp…’1, Hearing the sound of someone swallowing saliva, Wang Tao turned his head and saw Ding Yuqin looking at the zombie core with a face full of longing. “Sister-in-law wants to eat it?”, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow., “I do…”, Ding Yuqin replied subconsciously and then came back to her senses. She quickly became somewhat embarrassed and said., “No, no, no, I won’t eat! You eat!”, Wang Tao had talked to her about the Zombie Core, but she had no idea what it looked like, and the Crystal Core in Wang Tao’s hand was too clean, so she didn’t know it was a Zombie Core., “Sister-in-law, do you know what this is? This is a Zombie Core. Eating it gives you a certain chance to obtain an Ability, you know? Aren’t you tempted?” Wang Tao said somewhat seductively., “Not tempted!”, Although Ding Yuqin was still swallowing her saliva, she turned her head away directly., She truly wasn’t tempted; she didn’t care about whether she had an Ability or not. As long as Wang Tao didn’t leave her behind, she was content. But her instinct kept telling her to eat that Crystal Core, so she simply turned her head away, refusing to look., Seeing that Ding Yuqin did not appear to be lying, Wang Tao was somewhat impressed., He had initially thought that Ding Yuqin was the strong, independent type But after deep communication, he realized she was a traditional type who tended to rely on men., That kind of woman might not be expected to start a business or make money, but as a wife, she would definitely fit the bill., Alright, let me give you a rundown on Crystal Cores…”, Wang Tao explained everything he knew to Ding Yuqin, so that she wouldn’t be completely in the dark if she ever encountered one in the future., Ding Yuqin was startled when she heard that this Zombie Core was a Self-Destruct Ability., “Good thing I didn’t eat it. I really wouldn’t want to self-destruct!”, The Crystal Core was temporarily stored in the Space Backpack, not needed for the moment., However, Wang Tao had no plans to use it for himself either. After all, this wasn’t a game; he had only one life. If he were ever driven to self-destruct, it would be death either way… he had no intention of blowing himself up to benefit others., At night, after completing their daily exercise, Wang Tao noticed it was still early, so he took out the walkie-talkie., And again, he managed to get in touch with Ou Yingying., A week had passed since their last contact, and Wang Tao was somewhat surprised that Ou Yingying was still alive – although it might be a bit rude to say so, the fact that the two of them were still alive for so long meant they definitely had something special., Wang Tao inquired briefly, and Ou Yingying said that there was plenty of food in the milk tea shop for the two of them, and the roll-down shutter door was sturdy, keeping ordinary zombies out. As long as they stayed quiet in the milk tea shop, they were relatively safe., But while they were safe, both were showing signs of near mental collapse. “Big brother, please send someone to save us! We are really going crazy…” In the milk tea shop, a disheveled, filthy Ou Yingying whispered tearfully., She and Sun Weiguang had been in this milk tea shop for a week. The space inside the shop was very small, and they had to live their lives fully within it unable to even open the door – not even a crack, because zombies would gather at the smell of anything human. So you can imagine the smell inside…, The interior reeked, while zombies knocked on the door from time to time outside. Especially at night, they could hear a multitude of footsteps and various eerie howls… Being tortured in such conditions for a week, it was a testament to her strength that she hadn’t collapsed already., It was fortunate that not only she but also Sun Weiguang were in the milk tea shop so they could talk and ease the loneliness somewhat. Otherwise, she didn’t know if she could have held on…, Wang Tao naturally had no sympathy for these two, but his thoughts went to the female police officer., He personally had a certain admiration for that kind of righteous female police officer. Although the police officer had taken refuge in a shop and seemed quite safe, the conditions Ou Yingying described were such that she too would not be able to hold out alone for long. What a pity…, “Hold on and wait for rescue!”, After saying that in a perfunctory manner, Wang Tao turned off the walkie-talkie..
