NOVEL WEB Chapter 738 Level Two HP Limit_2
Wang Tao nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, so I decided to strike first."
After explaining these matters, Wang Tao returned to the villa.
Ding Yuqin and the others were all at home, dinner was already prepared, and they were just waiting for Wang Tao to come back to start eating. This was not only because they respected Wang Tao, but also because without him, they felt insecure and couldn't enjoy their meal. Seeing Wang Tao return safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I suppose you've already dealt with that strong gorilla zombie?"
Han Rui said with a smile.
"I dealt with it, and there was an unexpected gain—I encountered a mother zombie, a special type that can mass-produce elite zombies..."
Wang Tao briefly explained to the women.
"Oh? There are zombies like that!"
"Luckily, you dealt with it; otherwise, others would have been in danger!"
They were evidently surprised, having never seen a mother zombie before.
Among them, Jiang Shixue's focus was not on the zombies themselves, but rather on the spoils of war obtained by Wang Tao.
"Brother, did you get a lot of superpower crystal cores?"
Jiang Shixue looked eagerly at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao had previously told her that one could learn at most four abilities, and she only had one ability now. If she could learn four abilities, she could easily dominate at Level 1 and even challenge Level 2!
She really wanted to become stronger, but Wang Tao wouldn't let her go out alone. She was very considerate and didn't want to cause trouble for Wang Tao, so she couldn't collect crystal cores on her own and had to rely on Wang Tao to give her some. Moreover, Wang Tao had promised her superpower crystal cores.
"This time, I did get a large number of crystal cores, and you all have a share; we'll talk after dinner."
The superpower crystal cores Wang Tao acquired this time were plentiful, and not only the women, but even Wei Zhenguo and the others were included.
"Wow! I'm so excited!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shixue's eyes lit up instantly.
Ding Yuqin and the other three exchanged glances, also full of anticipation. Naturally, they also wanted to become ability users, but Wang Tao had already provided them with such a safe environment that they dared not make any requests unless Wang Tao offered. Finally, was there a chance to become ability users!
The women had never felt that just an ordinary dinner could be so slow! Once Wang Tao finally finished eating, they quickly cleaned up the table, frequently glancing at Wang Tao.
Swoosh—
Wang Tao directly conjured a large number of crystal cores out of thin air and tossed them onto the table. The sparkling crystal cores dazzled the women, especially with a special aroma emanating from them that made them drool, wishing they could eat them all.
"These are all superpower crystal cores, and they're 100% pure, so there's no need to worry about side effects. I can give you some suggestions, then you can choose for yourselves..."
Wang Tao introduced these superpower crystal cores and answered many of their questions, offering some suggestions. Besides Jiang Shixue, who chose three cores, the others each selected four.
Wang Tao planned for them to gain four abilities at once.
He had previously examined these superpower crystal cores and found many strong abilities among them. Once they chose these abilities, they could use them up to their fourth-level awakening without any problem.
After a careful selection, the group gradually chose suitable superpower crystal cores for themselves. Jiang Shixue's chosen abilities focused on speed and attack, while Ding Yuqin and the other two women chose more balanced abilities.
First, they needed an ability that could passively enhance their physical fitness. Physical fitness is one of the most fundamental issues for survival in the apocalypse. They were not asking for very strong physical fitness, just enough not to hold Wang Tao back.
Then they specifically selected an ability to increase their own speed, a type of ability that could be used for both attack and defense. Especially, it's very practical for survival in the apocalypse.
Their third ability choice was a support type, which could boost some of Wang Tao's stats. For example, increasing a bit of speed, strength, defense, or spirit.
Although these abilities were indeed weak compared to awakening, even the smallest help was good; they were quite satisfied with such abilities. Unfortunately, there were no healing abilities; otherwise, they might have wanted to learn one to heal Wang Tao.
As for the last ability, they finally chose an attack type. They tacitly selected the same ability, [Shockwave]. This attack ability was indeed nice, with a large attack range, the ability to be released at will, and an attack distance of over ten meters, making it ideal for killing zombies.
After choosing their abilities, the women were all flushed with excitement, except for Jiang Shixue, who had already fused with crystal cores and remained relatively calm. However, the excitement was still visible in her eyes.
"Why don't you try fusing them first."
Wang Tao suggested.
They had only selected four superpower crystal cores, and it wasn't yet certain if they could fuse all of them. Some people can fuse four abilities, while others can only fuse one. Although, in their previous life, they could all fuse four abilities, it's not certain this time around, as their situation is a bit different now.
"Okay!"
The women proceeded to fuse the crystal cores one by one. None of them failed, and the cores smoothly merged into their bodies.
Wang Tao nodded with satisfaction, as they successfully fused four abilities.
At this moment, the women felt a change in their bodies, and a wave of drowsiness hit them.
Fusing superpower crystal cores doesn't usually require sleep, but they had fused so many at once, and without proper rest, their bodies couldn't absorb the energy from the crystal cores. However, their physical fitness was good now, and they might not need to sleep for long, maybe just a few hours.
Watching the women drift into sleep, Wang Tao carried them back to their rooms one by one. Looking at the remaining crystal cores on the table, Wang Tao stroked his chin and muttered to himself:
"Should I continue to fuse the crystal cores..."
Previously, Wang Tao had advanced to Level 1 by fusing a shockwave crystal core, but this core only helped him ascend a level without giving him an ability.
Advancing to Level 2 or Level 3 doesn't require superpower crystal cores, but to awaken and ascend to Level 4, he needs to possess four abilities. Currently, Wang Tao doesn't have any abilities, which technically means he can't awaken...
After thinking it over, Wang Tao took a flawless superpower crystal core and fused it with himself. In the blink of an eye, the fusion was complete, but apart from a brief warmth, Wang Tao didn't notice any other changes, and he still had no abilities.
"It seems I really can't learn abilities... oh well, whatever!"
Wang Tao shook his head helplessly.
It seems all he can do now is fuse various basic crystal cores; superpower crystal cores are of no use to him, so it's better not to waste them.
Regarding his current situation, perhaps awakening isn't possible, or maybe it's just quite difficult...
Thinking about it, Wang Tao realized that he didn't necessarily need to awaken; the talent he chose upon rebirth far surpassed any awakening. So he stopped dwelling on it and let things take their course.
After checking on the women to ensure there were no issues, Wang Tao used the walkie-talkie to contact Ren Jie. Upon hearing that Wei Zhenguo and the others had returned safely, Wang Tao immediately said he would head over and asked them not to rush back to bed.
Soon, Wang Tao arrived at the complex building where Wei Zhenguo and the others were.
Without waiting for their questions, Wang Tao waved his hand, and a large number of superpower crystal cores appeared in their view, leaving them dumbfounded.
"Humans can fuse up to four abilities; pick four superpower crystal cores that suit you..."
Wang Tao explained the functions of the superpower crystal cores to them.
They listened intently, wishing they could fuse all the superpower crystal cores into themselves. However, they knew that wasn't possible, so staying realistic, they selected the abilities that suited them the best.
With Wang Tao's help, they quickly selected their superpower crystal cores and began fusing. To Wang Tao's surprise, Feng Ming'an also successfully fused four different superpower crystal cores, while in the previous life, he could only fuse one.
"They can all fuse four crystal cores; it seems this rule has changed in this life. Perhaps, in this life, all humans can fuse four different superpower crystal cores..."
Wang Tao thought to himself.
Watching Wei Zhenguo and the others fall into sleep, Wang Tao closed the door and had the guards watch over them. In just a few hours, Shuize Base would have several powerful ability users.
