Chapter 398: Chapter 183: Synthesizing Abilities Again_3

Wang Tao gave her a thumbs up.

Yang Changhong shook her head with a wry smile. She had no choice; if she were powerful enough to disregard the zombies, she definitely wouldn’t take such risks…

The convoy mbers caught so sleep, resting from morning until noon.

As for this county town, no one ventured too deep. After all, their goal was Zijing City; even if there were survivors or a Survivor Base in this small county, they didn’t pay it much attention.

Wang Tao specifically went to check out the hospital in the county town but unfortunately did not find any Green-eyed Zombies.

Feeling that everyone’s spirits had been lifted, Yang Changhong called everyone to hit the road again.

This ti, Wang Tao let Xu Xiaojun drive while he experinted with the Fusion Crystal Core.

Yang Changhong said she couldn’t fuse with Level 1 Crystal Cores anymore, but Wang Tao felt like he could still rge with Level 1 Crystal Cores, although he hadn’t tried it yet. After all, he didn’t have much Special Energy, and if he could Synthetize Ability, he would have to use Special Energy for Extraction, which seed like a waste.

Now that there was no imdiate danger on the road and his Special Energy had surpassed ten thousand, he decided to give it a try.

Wang Tao first took out a Level 1 Epic Shockwave Crystal Core. He put it in his mouth to try, and indeed, he couldn’t rge with it. Self-healing and Toughness also didn’t work. Wang Tao wasn’t surprised by this result since he had Level Two Shockwave and Barrier abilities already.

He then took out another Level 1 Epic Crystal Core—this one was a Full Speed Crystal Core obtained from Yang Changhong.

Yang Changhong had given Wang Tao all eight of the Level 1 Full Speed and high-frequency vibration cores, four of each.

These three types of crystal cores, including the Stealth Crystal Core, were originally reserved for her sister—a good item definitely had to be kept for one’s own family. Because she had rged with these two types of cores before and felt there weren’t any significant side effects—at that ti, she wasn’t aware that these side effects involved Physical strength depletion and Mana drain.

But now that her sister was nowhere to be found and most likely dead, and she had nothing of high value to offer, she saw Wang Tao’s interest in the crystal cores and decided to give them all to him.

After Wang Tao received them, he naturally proceeded with the Synthesis. He had two Epic Full Speed and two Epic high-frequency vibration cores in his possession.

When Wang Tao placed a Full Speed Crystal Core in his mouth, he instantly felt the crystal core vaporize.

“Just as I thought, I can Synthetize Ability myself!”

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up.

rging with a Level 1 Crystal Core was much quicker than with a Level 2 Crystal Core, and it was completed in a mont.

Wang Tao quickly looked at his Attributes, and his Mana had increased by 100, reaching 5900, with a new [Full Speed] Ability.

“I knew it!”

Wang Tao was delighted. Since he could rge with Level 1 Crystal Cores, it ant he could continue with his plan of upgrading from Level 1 to Level Two cores.

And he could start imdiately—

Wang Tao took out another Level 1 Epic Full Speed Crystal Core and rged with it, Full Speed 2!

Although Wang Tao no longer had Full Speed Crystal Cores, he still had many Level 1 Omnipotent Crystal Cores.

Having four Abilities at the mont, three of which were Level Two, ant that these Level 1 Omnipotent Crystal Cores could only be used to enhance his Level 1 Full Speed Ability.

Wang Tao used a Level 1 Omnipotent Crystal Core.

Monts later, the Level of his Full Speed Ability indeed increased by 1!

Consequently, Wang Tao used up several more Level 1 Omnipotent Crystal Cores, and soon, his Full Speed Ability reached 10!

Then, Wang Tao took out a Level 2 Ascension Crystal Core.

As expected, the Ascension Crystal Core worked, and his Full Speed successfully advanced to Level Two! His Mana also increased to 7000!

“Haha!”

Looking at his Level Two Full Speed Ability, Wang Tao laughed heartily.

This matched his prior expectations—he could use Level 1 Crystal Cores to upgrade those for Level Two!

But that wasn’t all, as much as Wang Tao liked the Full Speed Ability, he couldn’t tolerate it occupying one of his Ability slots, considering he had only four precious slots.

So, Wang Tao looked at his Synthesize Ability!

[Shockwave Precision Shooting (10%)]

[Shockwave Barrier (10%)]

[Shockwave Full Speed (15%)]

[Precision Shooting Barrier (50%)]

[Precision Shooting Full Speed (55%)]

[Barrier Full Speed (90%)]

Seeing the list of Synthetization probabilities, Wang Tao muttered to himself as expected.

He had guessed before that Abilities with similar chanisms had a higher chance of successful Synthetization.

Barrier was a continuous Defense boost and Blood Regeneration, and Full Speed was a continuous increase in speed; the chanisms of these Abilities were quite similar, so the probability of success should be fairly high. Indeed, it was a high 90%!

Although not as high as the previous 95% success rate for Toughness combined with Self-healing, this 90% chance was clearly worth a gamble for Wang Tao.

Wang Tao set Barrier as the main Ability and Full Speed as the Secondary Ability. Then he initiated the Synthesis!

In an instant, Wang Tao’s Special Energy decreased by 5000, leaving him with 8740.

The icons for Barrier and Full Speed on his attribute panel flickered with colorful lights for a mont.

Afterwards, a brand-new Barrier icon appeared?

Wang Tao got startled—had the Synthetization failed? But after seeing the detailed Attributes, he sighed with relief.

The na Barrier remained unchanged, but its Attributes were altered.

[Synthesis successful, gained New Superpower: Level Two Level 1·Barrier]

[Barrier: For the duration, it can enhance Defense, Speed, and slowly heal certain injuries (Side effects: None)]

Seeing these Attributes, Wang Tao was thrilled.

Although it seed like one Ability, it actually possessed the Attributes of three Abilities! It effectively saved him two Ability slots!

Wang Tao couldn’t wait to test out this New Superpower.

Since he was in the car and couldn’t actually try out the increase in Speed or Defense, and because he was at full HP, he couldn’t observe the effects of Self-healing either. However, he could see the Energy consumption.

When he saw the specific Mana consud, Wang Tao exclaid in surprise—15 Mana per second!

That ant he would use 900 Mana per minute, and with his 7000 Mana, he could sustain it for just over seven or eight minutes.

“My Mana is too low, I need to find a way to increase it…”

Wang Tao stroked his chin in contemplation.

“Continue rging with Level 1 Crystal Cores? That’s one way to increase Mana, but the condition is that the rged Ability can be synthesized with other Abilities; otherwise, it would occupy a slot—hey? If it does occupy a slot, I can just extract it… doesn’t that an I can switch Abilities anyti, anywhere? Hiss—I think I’ve overlooked this ability!”
