Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 346 - 166: A Pancake_2

Chapter 346: Chapter 166: A Pancake_2

The Slime Grenades could only immobilize the Terrorizer for a few seconds, but it was enough time. Jiang Shixue made her move and Wang Tao followed up. After the effects of the slime wore off, the Terrorizer fell to the ground with a thud.

Wang Tao quickly gathered the loot and then glanced at his HP.

[9950/9950]

While searching for traces of Level 3 Zombies today, Wang Tao encountered a few Level 1 Elite Zombies. After killing them, his HP had increased slightly.

The Terrorizer had provided him with an additional 260 in HP limit, just a bit shy of reaching 10,000 HP!

Wang Tao then turned his attention to the spoils of battle.

A Crystal Core and a package.

[Level 2 Crystal Core·Shockwave]

[Quality: Excellent (60%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effect: Light sensitivity)]

At last, he had obtained a Level 2 Shockwave Crystal Core, but unfortunately, its purity was 5% lower than that of a Level 1 Core. After fusing two Crystal Cores, there would still be 10% impurities remaining. Impurities weren’t a big deal, but that side effect was something Wang Tao definitely did not want.

He would have to keep collecting until he had three Shockwave Crystal Cores to fuse together.

Wang Tao looked at the Terrorizer’s package, which contained an unexpected surprise.

[Improved Worn-Out Great Axe Blueprint x1]

[Improved Worn-Out Great Axe Blueprint: Can forge a two-handed giant axe. Required materials: Two-Handed Axe x1 (the quality of the core material will affect the resulting product’s quality), Level 2 Crystal Core x1, Iron Block x10, Steel Wire x10, Gear x10, Blade x10, Nails x10, Screws x10]

[Improved Worn-Out Great Axe: Attributes unknown]

It turned out to be a weapon crafting blueprint!

For so long, Wang Tao had only ever seen one weapon crafting blueprint, which was the blueprint for the Precise Crossbow. Now this was the second blueprint he had encountered.

However, the list of materials required to forge this giant axe was extensive, needing a Level 2 Zombie Crystal Core! The other items he had crafted using blueprints, apart from potions and Hand Grenades, only the Food Compressor required a Crystal Core.

The blueprint also kindly reminded that the quality of the core material would affect the final product’s quality. And that core material was the Two-Handed Axe.

Wang Tao didn’t have a Two-Handed Axe at hand—wait, perhaps he did!

He looked over at the corpse of the Terrorizer and saw a huge axe lying nearby; he had nearly forgotten about it!

[Broken Giant Axe x1]

This axe, like other weapons dropped by zombies, only displayed a name, not specific attributes.

Wang Tao had plenty of materials on him, including Crystal Cores, and now he had the core material, the axe, too. He looked back at the blueprint, and a “Forgeable” prompt appeared.

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue searched the vicinity but did not find any other Level 2 Zombies, nor did they see any Level 1 Elite Zombies.

Wang Tao found a relatively enclosed room, and the two of them walked in.

There were only a few Ordinary Zombies inside the room, which Wang Tao easily dispatched.

He then took out the giant axe and other materials, ready to start the crafting process.

As for the Zombie Crystal Cores, Wang Tao chose an Ordinary Quality Weak Poisonous Mist Crystal Core.

He had no shortage of Level 2 Crystal Cores, and the most abundant among them were Weakness Poison Fog Cores, totaling 14.

These were obtained during the attack on the Shuize Base by a Toad zombie accompanied by more than ten Level 2 Poisonous Fog Zombies.

When Wang Tao and Han Rui parted ways, they left many Level 1 Crystal Cores with them, but Wang Tao took the Level 2 Cores for himself. These Weakness Poison Fog Cores were also in his possession.

Once all the materials were ready, Wang Tao focused his thoughts, and a burst of rainbow light flashed by.

All the materials disappeared, and a two-handed giant axe, very similar to the one dropped by the Terrorizer, materialized.

The axe was two meters long, rather simple-looking and even had several notches, befitting its ‘worn-out’ name.

[Improved Worn-Out Great Axe]

[Level 2 (Excellent)]

[Attack power +30, Durability +30, Attack speed -(5%~50%)]

The attributes of the axe were somewhat beyond Wang Tao’s expectations—it actually had a level!

The weapons Wang Tao had crafted with blueprints before did not have levels.

Could it be because a Level 2 Crystal Core was incorporated during the weapon’s crafting process?

Wang Tao believed that to be the reason.

However, he had used an Ordinary Quality Level 2 Crystal Core, but the weapon turned out to be of excellent quality. Considering that the blueprint did not indicate any relationship between the Core’s quality and the final product… Wang Tao surmised that the quality of the Crystal Core probably had no bearing on the resulting weapon and that it was likely a matter of luck.

This giant axe provided an additional 30 points to attack power. Wang Tao did not have an attack power stat on his attribute panel, so he wasn’t sure what the 30 points signified.

However, the Precise Crossbow he had previously crafted had an attack power bonus of +10, and it could no longer keep up with his strength, so he had given it to Ding Yuqin.

This giant axe, with +30 attack power, should be stronger than the Precise Crossbow, right?

The second attribute, +30 durability, was impressive to Wang Tao. Thus far, he had only one piece of equipment that had worn out—the security uniform he wore during his encounter and escape from the Black Mist Monster, which had a durability of +1… It was evident that the durability of +30 on this axe was incredibly sturdy.

As for the final attribute, the reduced attack speed, Wang Tao guessed the variable range was due to individual differences. Someone with greater strength would experience a smaller reduction in attack speed, while someone with less strength would suffer a greater reduction, and those even weaker might not even be able to lift the axe.
