Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1462 - 608: Biochemical Scepter

Whoosh——

The Disaster Zombie perished, loot scattered all around, and everyone immediately surrounded the spot with curiosity.

Even though it was a Disaster-level zombie, the body still released Cataclysmic Awakening upon death, but its effect was greatly diminished. With a healer around, the group wasn’t in much danger.

"Who would’ve thought it’d turn into a Disaster Zombie? We hit the jackpot this time! Could those two possibly be lovers or a married couple?"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

After a zombie devoured an ordinary human corpse, it actually ascended from Lord to Disaster... Wang Tao had never seen such a thing before. He felt that, in life, these two people must have had a close relationship...

At that moment, Han Rui poked Wang Tao’s arm with a strange expression.

"I just took another look at Wang Jing’s diary, and on the very bottom of the last page, it says that Wang Jing referred to that female researcher as an ’old maiden fairy’ and their relationship was bad... When the Apocalypse struck, the female researcher got infected, and Wang Jing, fearing she would mutate, locked her in a room. The female researcher probably felt she was killed by Wang Jing and thus cursed him to not die a good death, stating that if she mutated, she would definitely devour Wang Jing personally..."

"..."

After hearing Han Rui’s words, Wang Tao was momentarily stunned.

He originally thought that the relationship between these two was good. But it turned out to be far from it...

"Could it be that zombies can ascend by fulfilling their own dying wishes?"

Wang Tao shook his head; he wasn’t clear about these matters. Deciding to set aside his confusion, it was more important to see what loot was available.

[Acquired: Sixth-Rank Crystal Core: Promotion x1]

[Acquired: Awakening Energy Beads x2]

[Acquired: Advanced Awakening Keys x2]

[Acquired: Biochemical Seeds x1]

[Acquired: Biochemical Eyes x2]

[Acquired: Awakening Seed x1]

Just like the previous Disaster Zombies they had hunted, a total of 6 types of tangible loot dropped. Among them, there were two kinds of seeds.

[Biochemical Seeds: After consumption, there’s a 50% chance of poisoning, and a 50% chance of gaining a Hidden Attribute]

[Awakening Seed: When planted on the corpse of a Fourth-Order Lord Level or above creature, it will bear Awakening Fruits]

Wang Tao was seeing the Biochemical Seeds for the first time. With a 50% chance of gaining a Hidden Attribute and a 50% chance of poisoning, although not as miraculous as the Magic Seeds, it was still superior to something like a Poison Sac and was pretty good.

As for the Awakening Seed, it’s a must-drop from every Disaster-level creature. The Awakening Fruits it bears are currently the core materials for crafting awakening potions, so the value of this item goes without saying.

Wang Tao immediately planted the Awakening Seed on the body of this Disaster Zombie. The Awakening Fruit would take three days to ripen. He could go about his other business first and return when the fruit was nearly ripe.

According to Wang Tao’s previous experience, even if there were zombies or monsters nearby, they wouldn’t go near the Awakening Tree before the fruit ripened. But once the Awakening Fruit ripened, they would start contending for the fruit.

So, it was enough for Wang Tao to come over before the Awakening Fruit ripened; there was no need to guard it constantly. On the contrary, if the Awakening Fruit attracted zombies and monsters, they would end up inadvertently guarding the unripened Awakening Fruit Tree...

The two Biochemical Eyes were the Disaster Zombie’s own eyes, also a type of crafting material. They gave off a "gloriously colorful yet black and white" impression.

Each time he received eyeballs or similar crafting materials, Wang Tao could produce relatively rare equipment, and he was very eager to see what could be made from these two eyeballs.

Having collected the tangible loot from the Disaster Zombie, Wang Tao turned his attention to the Loot Packs that only he could see. There were five in total.

The first was the Crystal Core Gift Bag, containing an Orange [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Awakening], a Red [Sixth Rank Crystal Core: Omnipotence], an Orange [Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Stripping], a Purple [Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Advanced Defense], a Red [Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Mental Defense], and an Orange [Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Biochemical Body].

The last [Biochemical Body] Crystal Core was something Wang Tao had never seen before.

[Sixth-Rank Crystal Core·Biochemical Body]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 25% (Side effect: Reduced defensive power)]

[Biochemical Body: Increases resistance to toxins. When poisoned, there’s a small chance the poisoning status will transform into a corresponding Healing Effect]

"Looks like... it’s not bad, huh? And it’s not from the Poison System either..."

The Biochemical Body was a Passive Ability that could increase Poison Resistance, and when poisoned, there was a small chance that HP loss would turn into HP gain. Most importantly, this wasn’t a Poison System Crystal Core that only Poison System Ability Users could merge with; it was an Ordinary Crystal Core that anyone could merge with.

So the overall effect of this Crystal Core was quite good, but since each person could only merge up to four Abilities, everyone already had their own set-up and didn’t need this Crystal Core momentarily. Besides, the side effect of this Crystal Core was reduced defense, which wasn’t very appealing to everyone.

The second Loot Pack contained Secret Keys.

[Acquired: Advanced Awakening Secret Key x2]

This item was still for Ding Yuqin and the others to use; Wang Tao no longer needed it.

The third Loot Pack contained potions.

[Acquired: Biochemical Resistance Potion x40]

[Acquired: Biochemical Virus Potion x40]

[Biochemical Resistance Potion: Upon injection, the individual’s resistance to toxins greatly increases for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 12 hours.]

[Biochemical Virus Potion: Upon injection, the individual’s Physical Attack carries a Poison Effect for 10 minutes, with a cooldown of 12 hours.]

"Huh? This potion seems pretty good!"
