Chapter 355: Chapter 169: Level 3 Lord_2
Before, Wang Tao had given most of the Level 1 Crystal Cores to Wei Zhenguo and Han Rui, but Wang Tao still kept some, and added to that, he had killed quite a few Elite Zombies along the way, so he had enough Level 1 Crystal Cores.
Wang Tao directly took out nine fused Level 1 Power Crystal Cores and handed them to Xu Xiaojun.
“…”
Looking at so many red and orange Crystal Cores, Xu Xiaojun was somewhat stunned. Since he had fused with such a Crystal Core before, he knew these were all usable by him!
“You go ahead and fuse these Crystal Cores,”
Wang Tao said casually, as if these weren’t nine Crystal Cores but nine ordinary rocks.
“I…”
Xu Xiaojun hesitated to take them, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but Wang Tao interrupted him.
“Quit the chatter and hurry up.”
“Yes!”
Xu Xiaojun subconsciously took them.
Feeling the cold touch of the Crystal Cores, Xu Xiaojun glanced at Wang Tao with gratitude and excitement, then put a Crystal Core in his mouth.
Watching Xu Xiaojun begin to fuse the Crystal Cores, Wang Tao looked back at his backpack.
Xu Xiaojun had told Wang Tao before he felt he could fuse two or three more types of Crystal Cores.
That meant Xu Xiaojun was an Ability User who could fuse with four different types of Crystal Cores.
The first type of Crystal Core was Power; for the next three, Wang Tao thought to consider close combat capabilities.
After all, given Xu Xiaojun’s frame and having Power Ability to increase his strength, it would be a waste not to fuse with close combat abilities.
Moreover, Xu Xiaojun had told Wang Tao before that he preferred straightforward combat, so Ranged Attack wasn’t quite suitable for him.
After some consideration, Wang Tao took out several Crystal Cores.
A Toughness, a Shockwave, and a Rush.
Wang Tao felt these three Crystal Cores were quite suitable for Xu Xiaojun. There was Attack, Defense, and Mobility.
Spending some time, Xu Xiaojun fused all the Power Crystal Cores given by Wang Tao. He had never felt so strong!
“In the next two days, I’ll take you to kill some Zombies, and then you can fuse the other Crystal Cores,”
Wang Tao told Xu Xiaojun.
“Okay!”
This time, Xu Xiaojun didn’t play coy but nodded firmly.
He liked the feeling of increasing strength. Although he would owe Wang Tao a lot, he had made up his mind to follow Wang Tao, and he would repay him gradually!
Wang Tao then looked at Jiang Shixue. He had promised her the use of Zombie Culture Fluid but hadn’t had the time. Now that they had time, it was possible to cultivate Jiang Shixue…
In the morning, Wang Tao and the others went fishing for a while and caught plenty of big fish. In the afternoon, Wang Tao took Xu Xiaojun to hunt Level 1 Elite Zombies.
But their luck wasn’t good today, as they roamed around the county for an afternoon without much to show for it.
However, fortunately, they managed to raise Xu Xiaojun’s HP to 2,000.
Xu Xiaojun immediately slipped into a Sleeping State, and Wang Tao dragged him back.
Taking advantage of Xu Xiaojun’s sleep, Wang Tao said to Jiang Shixue:
“Little Xue, how about we use the culture fluid this time?”
“Okay~”
Jiang Shixue’s eyes lit up, then she sat down beside Wang Tao, opened her mouth wide like a little kitten.
Wang Tao took out a bottle of culture fluid and poured it into Jiang Shixue’s mouth.
After a while, Jiang Shixue started to feel drowsy and fell into Wang Tao’s arms.
[Cultivation: Total volume 1% (99% can still be added). Remaining time 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Wang Tao pried open Jiang Shixue’s mouth and continued to pour culture fluid. After a total of 100 bottles, “Total Volume 100%” appeared above Jiang Shixue’s head.
An hour later, Jiang Shixue woke up.
[HP: 20,200/20,200]
Her maximum HP had increased by 1,000, reaching 20,000!
“Brother, I feel like I’ve become a lot stronger…”
Jiang Shixue clenched her fist, slightly excited.
“That’s good, can you tell when you’ll be able to use the culture fluid again?”
“I feel… it’s probably once every three days…”
Jiang Shixue frowned slightly.
“Once every three days… Okay, we’ll cultivate again in three days.”
If Jiang Shixue could gain 1,000 HP every three days with the culture fluid, she could reach 30,000 HP in a month!
It was just that they weren’t sure what Jiang Shixue needed for her Level 3 Ascension, because her situation was a bit special—she couldn’t fuse Crystal Cores.
Even Wang Tao still did not know what Abilities Jiang Shixue specifically had. Wang Tao even doubted if Jiang Shixue, like the Blood-red Zombies, was purely physically strong without any Ability…
Jiang Shixue herself couldn’t clarify, as the memory she lost seemed to have taken her Ability with it. But fortunately, she could use her Hidden Ability, and with her strong physique, she was now Wang Tao’s capable assistant.
Two hours later, Xu Xiaojun woke up.
“Do you feel like you can now fuse a few types of Crystal Cores?”
After thinking for a while, Xu Xiaojun said:
“I should be able to… fuse with two more, but fusing with the third might be a problem…”
“All right, then go ahead and fuse Crystal Cores. Choose any two you like to fuse with.”
Wang Tao gave the remaining three Crystal Cores to Xu Xiaojun.
“…Okay!”
Xu Xiaojun still felt like he was dreaming, never having imagined that gaining strength could be this simple! Of course, he knew it was simple because of Wang Tao. Without Wang Tao, talk of increasing strength would be pointless; he’d probably be dead by now… As a man of few words, actions spoke for him.
The next day.
Wang Tao continued to take Xu Xiaojun to hunt Zombies.
“I’m quite nostalgic for the First Hospital!”
