Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 837 - 327: Advanced Secret Key (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

As for the possibility of a serpent below Level 4 ascending after consuming this, it definitely needn’t be considered. Although, if it could ascend a Disaster-level monster, killing another Disaster-level would still be very profitable. But this is only for serpentine use, and there’s currently no way to find a Level 3 one, which is even harder, and totally unnecessary.

It’s better to have a person gain Hidden Attributes.

So Wang Tao didn’t mention that the bead could be fed to serpents—and he wasn’t keen on explaining it either. After all, he could say he had seen it used on humans, but he certainly couldn’t have fed it to serpents himself, could he? Thus, there was no need to elaborate, as it was not applicable anyway.

Qi De and his two companions gasped on hearing Wang Tao’s words.

"Hidden Attributes that are certain to be obtained!"

Gleaming eyes among the three of them.

Zhou Long wasn’t sleepy anymore, so he hurriedly asked,

"Is there no chance of poisoning or something?"

Wang Tao shook his head with a smile,

"No. There’s no failure, no poisoning, you’ll just definitely get a Hidden Attribute, but what specific Attribute it is isn’t certain, it’s totally random."

The three looked at each other, excitement evident in their eyes.

This meant that by consuming this Snake bead, it would be like having one foot already inside the threshold of Awakening!

This bead must be secured—thought all three simultaneously.

Meanwhile, Cheng Yiyi, perplexed, spoke up,

"What’s a Hidden Attribute?"

"Huh? You don’t know?"

Wang Tao looked at her with some confusion.

"Should I know?"

Cheng Yiyi frowned, feeling like she had missed something.

Wang Tao turned to look at Qi De and his companions, who coughed dryly and looked away.

Wang Tao was a bit speechless.

He had once educated Qi De and his peers about Awakening, hoping they’d share the knowledge so that more Awakeners might emerge. Even just one or two more Awakeners would make Wang Tao happy. But clearly, they hadn’t spread the word.

Not just the Ordinary people, even Legion Commander Cheng Yiyi didn’t know about this… It showed how tight-lipped these people could be!

"Hidden Attributes are..."

Wang Tao repeated his earlier explanation to Cheng Yiyi.

"What? There’s such a thing as Hidden Attributes! No wonder I’ve killed a Level 4, Lord, but never felt the Key they talked about... It’s because I don’t have Hidden Attributes..."

After listening, Cheng Yiyi felt a sudden revelation!

But soon, she was troubled again. Not having Hidden Attributes meant she definitely couldn’t awaken. No matter how hard she tried, it was impossible—it was innate—wait!

It was only then that Cheng Yiyi realized what Wang Tao had just said. By eating this green Snake bead, one would obtain a Hidden Attribute with a hundred-percent certainty!

If she ate this bead, does that mean she, too, had a chance to awaken?!

Inside her Powered Armor, Cheng Yiyi’s chest heaved violently.

In just that brief moment, she had experienced an emotional rollercoaster—after hearing Wang Tao’s exposition, she thought she’d never be able to awaken in her lifetime, which left her quite despondent.

But upon hearing that consuming the Snake bead would grant a Hidden Attribute, she was instantly thrilled again—she still had a chance!

When Qi De and the two others saw the expression on Cheng Yiyi’s face, they suddenly felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Oh no, they had forgotten about Cheng Yiyi! She hadn’t awakened yet!

They had assumed that Wang Tao might contend for the bead, and by offering him certain benefits, they could perhaps persuade him to give it up. After all, they were somewhat wealthy.

But if Cheng Yiyi also entered the fray, there was no way they could beat her! They couldn’t match Commander Cheng’s overall contributions, and they lacked the wealth and influence of the Sixth Army Corps—even if the Sixth was ranked last among the Six Major Legions, it wasn’t to be underestimated!

Cheng Yiyi had strong adaptive capabilities, and soon calmed herself down. She didn’t rush to decide who would own the Snake bead, instead, she turned to Wang Tao.

"Mr. Wang, this last item..."

All eyes were on Wang Tao, as they had never seen this Key-shaped object before.

When Qi De and his friends first obtained the Key, they felt an urge to swallow it. But since they had no idea what it was, they didn’t dare to do so haphazardly. However, they could sense that it needed to be consumed.

"I just explained to Commander Cheng, to awaken, Hidden Attributes are the most basic and important requirement. And once you have Hidden Attributes, by killing organisms above Level 4, Lord, you will obtain an Awakening Key. Only with all the necessary conditions met, including an Awakening Key, can one awaken... And this thing, it’s a Physical Awakening Key!"

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s explanation, Qi De and the others were left agape.

"There’s a physical form of this thing? I thought you had to personally kill a Level 4, Lord... Well, if there’s a Physical Key, that means you can help others awaken..."

"But even with all the right conditions, the probability of awakening on your first try is only 50%... It’s still tough to awaken!"

"Sigh, luck played a big role in our awakenings..."

Cheng Yiyi’s eyes sparkled even more.

She had just been wondering—even if she eventually got the Snake bead, without an Awakening Key, awakening soon wouldn’t be feasible. She would still need to hunt another Fourth-Level Organism.
