Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 290: 148: Ascension (End of the Month for Monthly Pass) 3

“Great! Thank you! Let’s discuss this shortly!”

Zhen Guo and his companions’ eyes all lit up a bit, after all, this was an Ascension Crystal Core. If they could succeed, one of their abilities could be upgraded to Level Two!

Level One facing Level Two, there was basically no chance of winning. But with a Level Two Ability, their odds of victory increased significantly. And a Level Two Ability against a Level One Zombie was practically a one-hit kill…

At this moment, Ren Jie suddenly asked:

“So, are we still going to have our celebration tonight?”

It was only then that Wang Tao remembered they had previously planned to hold a celebration to commemorate the three-month anniversary of Shuize Base.

The purpose of the party was to let the survivors relax a bit, they were all too tense every day, staying in this state for too long might lead to problems.

After the announcement of the party, it received the approval of all survivors. The specific date was set for these few days, but no one could have expected the gorilla zombie to appear suddenly…

After discussing for a while, Zhen Guo and the others said:

“Let’s continue with the event, since the survivors don’t have work at night, it won’t be a waste of one or two hours. However, we’ll make some slight changes to the content, and turn it into a memorial for those who sacrificed themselves and an awards ceremony for those who made significant contributions…”

“People like Wu Fei, who indirectly saved our base, and Wang Tao, who directly saved everyone in the base, their deeds must be known by the survivors! Those who made contributions must be rewarded, even if only verbally…”

“Then we’ll bring out more food and let everyone eat their fill. We lost a lot of hands this time, but the food hasn’t suffered much, so we actually have an abundance of food now…”

Zhen Guo had a lot to say.

“Alright! I’ll go and make some basic preparations. How about the day after tomorrow for the time? Wang Tao will ascend to Level Two tomorrow; the day after, he can show himself in front of everyone and stabilize morale! What do you think, Wang Tao?”

“No problem!”

Wang Tao naturally had no objections.

“Alright, then it’s decided!”

Soon, the news of the party being held as scheduled spread.

A rare smile appeared on the faces of the survivors, not because they were eager to watch a performance at the party, but because the committee announced that many people would be rewarded at this party—for those who performed well and helped their peers during the crisis. Not only would their names be engraved on the large iron gate to be made later, but they would also receive better welfare benefits in the future!

Huo Ziyi was pleased to hear this news and decided to take the initiative. She didn’t want to live in fear anymore, well aware that the women who were close to Wang Tao had all become Ability Users. Even if she became subordinate to Wang Tao, it would be better than having no background at all…

At this time, Wang Tao had returned to his villa with Han Rui.

Since Ding Yuqin had run to the main building the moment the zombies came, there was nobody at home and naturally no zombies were attracted. Thus, the house was unaffected, and even the large Green Vine on the balcony hadn’t lost a single leaf.

Wang Tao drank some nutrient solution briefly and then lay down on the bed. Han Rui and Ding Yuqin did not disturb him.

Today, after reaching 5000 HP, Wang Tao discovered three rather peculiar conditions and had been studying them, finally understanding what they meant.

The first was that he could now control the timing of his sleep, or more accurately, his Ascension. He could ascend whenever he wanted within the next three days.

The second was that Wang Tao had an inkling that if he ascended to Level Two, he could choose to delete one of his Level Two Abilities. Deleting an ability would free up a slot for him to fuse a new Ability!

In other words, although he currently couldn’t fuse new types of Crystal Cores, he could replace an ability, or even all four!

And this deletion was not just literal; it involved the transfer and inheritance— the Ability he deleted could be transferred to others, but would be downgraded by one level.

For instance, if Wang Tao no longer wanted Shockwave, he could transfer his “Level Two +1” Shockwave to Ding Yuqin, and once transferred to her, it would become “Level One +10”.

At first glance, this might seem like a loss of one Ascension Crystal Core, not particularly profitable, right?

But not exactly!

Firstly, besides Wang Tao, other people’s Crystal Core fusions were not guaranteed to succeed. Counting the failures, that would be many more Cores used!

And more importantly, the inherited ability would carry over half of the original host’s impurities in that Ability, but without any side effects!

To put it simply, if Wang Tao transferred Shockwave to Ding Yuqin, for her, it would not only be a +10 Level One Ability but also one with fewer impurities and side effects. Of course, Wang Tao’s Abilities had no side effects to begin with.

If it were someone else, for example, if an Ability User needed to fuse 20 Crystal Cores to reach Level Two, then the impurities in that Ability would be around 10%. Upon transferring it, the original user would retain 5% impurities, and the recipient would get a +10 Ability with just 5% impurities, but no side effects!

To inherit an Ability, it had to be done within three days after his Ascension; if he didn’t find a recipient by then, it would just be a simple deletion.

This mechanism was quite powerful, and Wang Tao could already foresee that if humans held on, an increasing number of people would accept inheritances!

However… Wang Tao himself seemed to have no use for this inheritance power.

This brings us to the third discovery—

Wang Tao noticed some changes in his HP bar—his 5000 HP limit had not changed, but between his own HP and mana bars, a new grey bar appeared showing 5160.

This grey bar was a new feature that allowed him to extract and fuse Abilities!
