Chapter 208: Chapter 121 Synthetic 6 Epic Crystal Cores_2

Translator: 549690339

After killing who knows how many zombies, the gorilla zombie suddenly rushed towards the hospital interior.

Then it smashed headfirst into the inpatient department building.

Crash

The wall of the building was rammed through, leaving a huge hole, and the gorilla zombie disappeared from sight.

The other zombies followed the noise towards the gaping hole.

Soon, there were hardly any zombies left at the hospital entrance and in the yard; they had all been drawn away by the commotion caused by the gorilla zombie.

Wang Tao eyed the bodies scattered everywhere and was somewhat tempted, but he restrained himself. After all, the gorilla zombie was still inside the building.

About three minutes later, there was a loud bang as the gorilla zombie broke through the wall on the other side and rushed out.

“Huh? It’s gone?”

Wang Tao noticed that the gorilla zombie’s HP bar hadn’t decreased, and he had no idea what it had been doing inside. Nevertheless, its departure was a good thing, and it had left by another route, so they wouldn’t cross paths.

“Quick, quick, quick! Collect the Crystal Cores!”

With the gorilla zombie gone and the hospital’s zombies lured away, it was the perfect opportunity to collect Zombie Cores!

Wang Tao and Han Rui hurried to the hospital entrance. Wang Tao’s mouth nearly split into a grin as he saw the huge pile of zombie corpses.

Three minutes later, as the zombies started to come out of the inpatient department, Wang Tao quickly signaled Han Rui to retreat.

“Let’s go!”

There might still be some Elite Zombies here, but it was rather troublesome to identify their bodies among the scattered corpses, especially since Wang Tao couldn’t tell them apart once their HP bars were gone. Also, the hospital’s Elite Zombies didn’t quite resemble those from outside; they all looked similar and couldn’t be easily distinguished by their appearance.

The two returned to the apartment once again.

Looking at the pile of Crystal Cores in the bag, Han Rui subconsciously swallowed.

Wang Tao counted them: together, they had picked up 37 Crystal Cores!

If it weren’t for the gorilla zombie, he would have had to kill zombies for quite a while to acquire so many Crystal Cores.

Moreover, among these cores, there were three Orange Crystal Cores!

Seeing these three Orange Epic Crystal Cores, Wang Tao felt somewhat dreamy.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the first time he had extracted Orange Crystal Cores directly from a zombie’s head!

Although he himself used Orange Cores, those were synthetic, created from combining two or even three Crystal Cores. Obtaining such natural Orange Crystal Cores from a zombie was genuinely a first for him.

Wang Tao had started to doubt whether natural Orange Crystal Cores even existed since, although he had seen plenty of Red Crystal Cores, he had never come across a single Orange one.

But now Wang Tao knew it was not that Orange Crystal Cores didn’t exist; he simply hadn’t been lucky enough…

The three Orange Crystal Cores were Throwing Mastery, Strength, and Loose Tongue.

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Throwing Mastery]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Prone to anger)]

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Strength]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Strength proportional to body size)]

[Level 1 Crystal Core – Loose Tongue]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 50% (Side effect: Mood swings)]

All three of these Crystal Cores were quite useful, and Wang Tao wanted to learn both “Throwing Mastery” and “Strength.”

However, natural Orange Crystal Cores were different from synthetic ones. Although the fusion success rate for both was 100%, natural cores still contained impurities and side effects.

Wang Tao certainly wouldn’t use these cores himself, and it would be a waste to utilize them for fusion, so he planned to take them back to the base to see if anyone else needed them.

In addition to these three cores, there were plenty others like Coughing Smoke, Rejuvenation, and familiar ones like Self Detonation, Shockwave, Precision Shooting, and so on.

“Do you want to use any of them?”

Wang Tao asked Han Rui.

Since they had acquired them together, she naturally had a choice as well.

“I…”

Han Rui’s eyes shone at the sight of so many Crystal Cores, but she was unsure which one to choose. What she wanted most was a Perception Crystal Core, but unfortunately, after encountering that one Perception zombie, she had never seen another.

“Why don’t you help me decide which Crystal Core suits me best…”

Han Rui looked towards Wang Tao, trusting his judgment implicitly, feeling he would choose better than she could.

“I think another Throwing Mastery, or Rejuvenation, or even Shockwave would suit you…”

Wang Tao thought for a moment. Precision Shooting would also suit Han Rui, but he needed that Crystal Core for himself, so he would surely prioritize his own needs.

“Then… I’ll take a Throwing Mastery Crystal Core!”

Han Rui, despite having obtained the Rush ability, still preferred long-range attacks.

“Alright, but… don’t rush to assimilate it just yet. I’ll keep the Crystal Core safe for you for now.”

“Okay!”

Han Rui agreed without asking why.

Wang Tao smiled at Han Rui’s unconditional trust.

He had just realized an issue—he had never really paid much attention to the impurities in Crystal Cores, focusing more on the side effects.

After all, impurities would only cause problems when accumulated to a certain extent; normally, a bit of impurity wasn’t a big deal.

But the side effects were more obvious; at best, they might alter one’s physique, while at worst, they could affect one’s personality. These seemed much scarier by comparison.

However, after meeting Shao Yong, Wang Tao suddenly understood that he couldn’t ignore the impurities in Crystal Cores any longer.

Because the impurities in Shao Yong’s body had already reached 70%!
