Chapter 1145 -466: Scorching Eye

Wang Tao called Nie Siyan over, asking him to purchase some Awakening Crystal Cores and, while he was at it, to also purchase other Level 4 Crystal Cores, preferably those rare, peculiar ones.

Crystal Cores with attributes could only be merged by people with matching attributes. Those who obtained such cores might, if lucky enough to find a matching attribute, merge with them immediately. If unable to merge, there was a high chance they would still hold onto them.

Wang Tao felt that as long as the price was right, he should be able to acquire some Attribute Crystal Cores.

His requirements were not high; any Attribute Ability Crystal Core of the Fire System, Dark Series, or Psychic System would do, and he was willing to pay a high price for them.

Of course, if there were Crystal Cores that his team members could use, he would also be willing to pay a high price for those.

Even if he and his teammates couldn’t use them, as long as the price was not too outrageous, he would keep them. After all, these things were not easy to come by—he had killed so many zombies and had only obtained a few Attribute Crystal Cores.

He did have four in his possession: [Fourth Order Crystal Core: Ice Thorn], [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Psychic Attack Rebound], [Fifth-Rank Crystal Core: Omnipotent Shield], and [Fifth Order Crystal Core: Giant Strength Impact].

Unfortunately, he could only merge with the Psychic Attack Rebound, but he didn’t particularly like this Ability. He liked the other three, but he couldn’t merge with them… so he could only see if he could buy them.

Considering that some people might not be short on money, Wang Tao gave Nie Siyan a lot of Ability Crystal Cores and Potions, which could also be bartered if the sellers didn’t need cash.

After receiving the order, Nie Siyan immediately sprang into action.

With nothing else pressing to attend to, Wang Tao stayed home, waiting for news while practicing his new Awakening.

Three days passed in a blink.

Things finally eased a bit at the Awakeners School, as the initial registration had concluded. Next came the selection process.

The selection had three rounds; the first two rounds would eliminate the majority, leaving only those with good character and strength. The final round was overseen by Wang Tao himself, and getting his approval meant passing the final hurdle to become a first batch student of the Awakeners School.

The first two rounds of selection would take two days. After waiting another two days, Wang Tao would go to the school to choose his students.

These few days, topics related to the Awakeners School were the hottest within the base, as Awakening was an irresistible temptation for every Ability User.

Although many doubted that entering the school would enable Awakening, having hope was better than having none. Plus, trust in the base was fairly solid, so there was a lot of discussion everywhere.

Even on the black market, slots for official students were being sold at high prices, with someone claiming they could pull off a bait-and-switch due to their connections. It was clearly a scammer’s tactic, especially since Wang Tao hadn’t yet made the final decisions. Yet, some gullible buyers fell for it… it just goes to show how tempting Awakening truly is.

Meanwhile, another topic quickly rose to prominence, almost matching the fervor surrounding the Awakeners School—the Starfire Society was buying up Crystal Cores at high prices.

Due to Wang Tao’s considerable capital—over two hundred million in Crystal Coins—plus various Crystal Cores and Weapons he put up for sale, he immediately garnered interest from many Ability Users. This even momentarily drove the prices of certain Crystal Cores to sky-high levels!

It wasn’t until today, when the Starfire Society announced a pause in purchasing, that prices began to slightly decline. However, it’s estimated that prices won’t return to normal any time soon.

“Brother Wang, the Crystal Cores are all here. Since you wanted to acquire a large quantity in a short period, the prices went up quite a bit…”

Nie Siyan pointed to two boxes and explained.

“No problem.”

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

It was inevitable that the prices of Crystal Cores would rise, but it didn’t matter; he had so much money sitting around, it was better spent on improving his strength.

Wang Tao opened the boxes. The first one contained over two thousand Level 4 Awakening Crystal Cores, costing over a hundred million Crystal Coins, averaging about forty thousand per core.

Although the Level 4 Awakening Crystal Cores were expensive, this price was still high, as many of these cores were of low quality. For instance, the blue and White Crystal Cores shouldn’t normally be this expensive.

But Wang Tao didn’t mind and was instead quite thrilled.

“So many Awakening Crystal Cores!”

Wang Tao had hoped to acquire a few hundred Awakening Crystal Cores, yet he ended up with over two thousand.

“It’s because most of these Awakening Crystal Cores were sold by the Six Major Legions…”

Nie Siyan explained.

“No wonder!”

Wang Tao suddenly realized.

If it was the Six Major Legions, then there was no issue, since they owned a multitude of Thermal Weapons, making it normal for them to obtain so many Level 4 Awakening Crystal Cores.

The thing about Awakening Energy was that although others couldn’t see the specific Attributes, they had a general sense of it. They could clearly feel that the more Awakening Crystal Cores they merged with, the smaller the increase in power.

For instance, Wang Tao initially needed only one Awakening Crystal Core to increase his Awakening Energy limit by 100, but now he needed over thirty.

Thus, they would stop merging after reaching a certain level, as the cost of gaining an additional 100 points of Awakening Energy was not worth it.

Moreover, there weren’t many Awakeners in the base to begin with… so they had accumulated quite a few Awakening Crystal Cores. Seeing the Starfire Society paying high prices, they basically sold all they had.

Although most of these cores were of low quality, it didn’t affect Wang Tao; he would just synthesize them later.
