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

Chapter 385: Chapter 179: Magic Seeds_2

[Level 3 Crystal Core · Nutrient Absorption]

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side effect: Body Lignification)]

[Nutrient Absorption: Passive Ability, when standing on soil, it can absorb the nutrients from the soil to slowly regenerate HP]

The fourth crystal core was quite interesting—just standing on the ground could heal him. However, the description mentioned slowly regenerating HP… Wang Tao wondered exactly how slow it would be…

[Level 3 Crystal Core · Photosynthesis]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 40% (Side effect: Body Lignification)]

[Photosynthesis: Passive Ability, when standing in sunlight, it can absorb solar energy to slowly regenerate Mana]

“Hss—”

Upon seeing this last crystal core, Wang Tao felt his heart stir instantly.

This “Photosynthesis” was similar to “Nutrient Absorption,” one allowing slow HP regeneration while standing on the ground and the other slow Mana regeneration in sunlight.

But compared to HP regeneration, Wang Tao was more eager to get an Ability for Mana regeneration!

Because he did have some methods to restore HP, such as medical kits, the self-healing power, or even now with the Barrier Ability, which could restore HP.

But he had no means of Mana regeneration at all!

If he wanted to recover Mana, he could only rely on time.

From his previous tests, if his Mana were completely depleted, it would take about six hours to fully recover. If not in combat, six hours wasn’t that long.

But in combat, six hours was way too long—heck, even six minutes felt eternity—of course, if he could fully recover in six minutes, Wang Tao would probably laugh out loud. But obviously, that wasn’t possible., Wang Tao could only rely on six hours to recover his Mana…

This was the first time Wang Tao had seen an Ability for Mana regeneration, and to be honest, he really wanted to integrate this crystal core.

Unfortunately, it was a level 3 core, and he also didn’t have enough Ability slots.

However, Wang Tao suddenly thought whether it was possible to synthesize “Nutrient Absorption” and “Photosynthesis”?

Both were passive abilities, both were related to plants, and both types were quite similar… It felt like there was a chance! He could try this when there was an opportunity in the future!

After reviewing these crystal cores, Wang Tao got to know that this level 3 creature was leaning towards support roles. His previous guess that it was similar to the Green-eyed Zombie was, in a way, half correct…

Then, Wang Tao looked at the second Loot Pack, which contained 10 potions and a Blueprint.

[Acquired: Hemostatic Drug x10]

[Acquired: Hemostatic Drug Recipe x1]

[Hemostatic Drug: Recovers 1000 HP within ten seconds]

[Hemostatic Drug Recipe: Once learned, it allows for crafting 10 Hemostatic Drugs at a time. Required materials: Hemostatic Herb x1, Zombie Crystal Core x1, Purified Water 100ml, 10 kcal of food]

The effect of the Hemostatic Drug was not bad, being able to restore 1000 HP, which was better than the medical kit’s effect of restoring 100 HP over ten seconds.

Although for someone like Wang Tao with nearly 30,000 HP, whether it was regenerating 100 or 1000 HP, neither seemed like much.

But the key was that this item had no cooldown. One could use a bunch at once and just wait for the HP to slowly replenish. And in critical moments, this could be lifesaving…

As for the Hemostatic Drug Recipe, Wang Tao learned it right away, but he currently lacked Hemostatic Herb, so he couldn’t craft any.

“I’ll have to pay more attention to these core potion ingredients in the future…”

This time he got some Strength Mushrooms and Defense Mushrooms, he guessed that these materials might be found in the wild.

He tried not to venture into the wilderness unless necessary, but if he had legitimate business outside like now, he’d have to observe carefully to look for such core materials.

After all, he had learned quite a few potion blueprints by now, but the only ones he could actually craft were Strength Potion (small), Defense Potion (small), and Rejuvenation Potion.

The third Loot Pack contained another Blueprint but not of a potion—it was for equipment.

[Acquired: Tree Branch Full Body Armor Blueprint x1]

[Tree Branch Full Body Armor Blueprint: Allows for crafting a full body set of armor made of tree branches. Required materials: Level 3 Crystal Core x1, Wood Block x100, Iron Block x10, Steel Wire x10, Screw x10, Rope x10, Nails x10, Rubber x10, Plastic x10, Cable x10, Electronic Components x10, Battery x10]

[Branch Full Body Armor: Tough in nature, can protect against knives and swords, but slightly weak against fire. Durability +50, Defensive Power +50]

The attributes of this Branch Armor seemed good. Although it was also vulnerable to fire, overall, the attributes were quite strong. It was far superior to the stubborn armor he was wearing.

But to craft it required a Level 3 Crystal Core, and Wang Tao only had a few of those—he was reluctant to use them.

Plus, Wang Tao already had the Entangling Roots, which were much more useful than the armor.

And, Wang Tao was somewhat concerned about this weakness to fire.

If he wore this armor with another layer of Entangling Roots outside, and if he had the misfortune to encounter fire…the Entangling Roots could be quickly retracted, but he’d have to take off the armor before escaping, and there wouldn’t be time for that…

Wang Tao planned to check later. If he had a level 3 Crystal Core with not so great attributes, he’d craft this armor.

He might not want it for himself, but Xu Xiaojun could use it. If Little Jun wore this armor and wielded the Broken Giant Axe, his strength would surely increase by a lot.

The last Loot Pack contained Tree Essence Liquid.
