Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

Chapter 524: Chapter 225: Taking Zijin Base_3

Although Zhu Han and his group often bad-mouthed Nie Siyan behind her back, they were truly loyal to her.

In the apocalypse, there was no shortage of clever people, but each clever individual had different ideas. The simple thought shared by Zhu Han’s group of five was to find a powerful patron and cling to them. As long as their patron survived, they wouldn’t leave!

As it turned out, their choice was the right one. They had latched onto Nie Siyan, who in turn had latched onto Wang Tao. Thus, they were indirectly clinging to Wang Tao’s coattails.

Though they were tired from the past few days, what did that matter as long as they were safe? In the apocalypse, it wasn’t about being tired; it was about being unsafe.

As long as they could follow Wang Tao, they had no worries about future benefits!

For instance, at this moment, when Zhu Han learned that the five of them were summoned by Wang Tao, excitement surged within him. It seemed… there were benefits coming!

When he met Zhu Han and the others, Wang Tao first inquired about their Ability statuses and then said,

“In light of your recent commendable performance, I’m giving you two choices—”

“One, I give each of you a Purple Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core for your own future use.”

“Two, I give each of you one Level 3 Red Ascension Crystal Core for immediate fusion.”

“Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core?!”

Zhu Han and his companions were flabbergasted when they heard what Wang Tao said.

Wait, the reward is a Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core?

Did they hear wrong, or were they dreaming?

Did they also have a chance to become a Level 3 Ability User?

Just on their way here, Zhu Han and the others had been wondering if Wang Tao would reward them with some Level 2 Crystal Cores that they could use. If he did, that would be a huge gain!

As for a Level 3 Crystal Core, they didn’t even dare to dream of that, let alone an Ascension Crystal Core!

But now, Wang Tao was actually offering them Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores! And high-chance fusion Red Quality ones at that?

This couldn’t be a dream, could it?

The men all pinched their thighs subconsciously.

“Hiss—painful!”

Nie Siyan on the side covered her face a bit.

How disgraceful, embarrassing!

But if she thought about it, when she Level 3 Ascended, it wasn’t all that different…

Wang Tao gave them time to think.

Finally, Zhu Han was the first to come to his senses, and he spoke with a face full of excitement,

“Two! I choose two!”

The remaining four, upon hearing Zhu Han’s words, finally realized the situation.

“We also choose two!”

The two options Wang Tao had given were easy to understand.

Option one meant that if they wanted to pursue the limit and wait to combine four Level 3 Crystal Cores before ascending, then one core was definitely not enough, so they should save the core for later.

Option two meant that if they didn’t insist on gathering four crystal cores before advancing, then one would be enough, and they could ascend right now!

Anyone could figure out with their toes that option two was the must-choose!

Gathering four Level 3 Crystal Cores was incredibly difficult! Moreover, the fusion might not even be successful unless they had high-quality Red or Orange cores. But they couldn’t even get their hands on White ones, how could they get high-quality cores?

Suppressing one’s level and gathering cores was something only high-level figures could play with. They were self-aware that they had to ascend whenever there was an opportunity!

When they ascended to Level Two, they had also used just one Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core, so now it seemed normal to use one for Level 3 Ascension.

And more importantly—there was a rescue mission coming up. If they could ascend to Level 3, they would definitely be a great help to the mission! Wang Tao was the one organizing this rescue mission, and since he had rewarded them so generously, they certainly needed to repay him!

Therefore, the group didn’t hesitate and directly chose option two.

“Very good.”

Wang Tao nodded in satisfaction upon seeing their choices. These people were very sensible.

Thus, Wang Tao directly took out ten Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores for them. Moreover, he had thoughtfully prepared the Level 2 Crystal Cores they needed to reach their full potential.

In the past days, their high-intensity zombie slaying had brought their HP to 29999, fulfilling one of the conditions for Level 3 Ascension. However, some of them hadn’t reached +10 in Ability yet, so they still needed a boost.

To Wang Tao, these Level 2 Crystal Cores were a mere trifle.

Zhu Han and his companions gazed at the glistening Crystal Cores with trembling hands as they accepted them.

Then, as if moved by a shared impulse, they knelt before Wang Tao with a thud and kowtowed to him.

Considering the rewards Wang Tao had bestowed upon them, not to mention a grand gesture, selling their lives to Wang Tao would still mean they came out ahead!

Wang Tao didn’t dodge; he could accept this grand gesture.

After Zhu Han and his group got up, Wang Tao waved his hand.

“Go and fuse with the Crystal Cores.”

“Yes!”

After the others had left, Wang Tao asked Nie Siyan to call over the eight women from the club.

“Mr. Wang, you wanted to see us?”

The women’s faces were all visibly fatigued, but since it was Wang Tao who had summoned them, they didn’t dare not to come. They were also curious about what Wang Tao wanted from them.

Wang Tao first chatted with them and inquired about their Ability situation.

The women held nothing back and revealed everything readily.

It had to be said, Lan Yulian had picked some good people.

All eight women were Ability Users who had fused with four types of Crystal Cores. Zhu Han and his men could only fuse with two or three types of Abilities.

However, when these eight women had their Level 2 Ascension, they had only used one Ascension Crystal Core each. After all, they were not Wang Tao; they couldn’t synthesize Crystal Cores, and the high-quality ones were all supplied to Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng.

“Considering your recent good performance, I’m giving you two choices—”

Wang Tao repeated what he had just said to Zhu Han and his men to the women.

“You’re, you’re giving us Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores?!”

The women were somewhat stupefied.

They were even more bewildered than Zhu Han.

After all, Zhu Han had been in contact with Wang Tao earlier than they had and knew about Wang Tao’s character from their time at the arcade.

But these women had only recently come into contact with Wang Tao and knew he was powerful and had a good relationship with their leader… and that was about it.

Yet, they hadn’t expected that Wang Tao would actually reward them with high-quality Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores!

These were things that even the generals hadn’t obtained, despite having sacrificed countless lives!

“Could it be that Mr. Wang has some designs on us?”

This thought unconsciously sprang to the women’s minds.

You couldn’t blame them for overthinking; the situation was indeed frightening!

Their leader, Little Yan, spoke up:

“Ahem, Mr. Wang, we, we have already sworn to follow our leader for life and will never betray him…”

The others nodded in agreement.

Looking at the women’s excitement, coupled with their restraint, Wang Tao found the situation quite amusing.

But before he could speak, Little Yan continued gritting her teeth:

“Aside from betraying the leader, you can ask for anything! Otherwise, we won’t be at ease accepting these Crystal Cores!”
