Chapter 870: Chapter 340 Millionaire_2

“???”

After listening, Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with a head full of question marks.

“Don’t ask where these potions co from, if you ask, it’s because I picked them up. You see, I don’t look like soone capable of making this stuff…”

Wang Tao shrugged his shoulders.

Hearing Wang Tao’s words, Qu Shilin didn’t press further.

She indeed felt that Wang Tao couldn’t possibly make such things; after all, human energy is limited. Wang Tao couldn’t possibly engage in scientific research while also fighting outside, right? Even if Wang Tao was a genius, he didn’t have any equipnt, so he couldn’t have just made it out of thin air.

...

Qu Shilin didn’t dwell on the origin of the potion any longer. She said to Wang Tao excitedly:

“If these potions really are as miraculous as you say, then maybe I can replicate them! If I succeed, you will have made a great contribution to our base!”

“Perhaps. As long as it can help soone, that’s good enough for .”

Wang Tao didn’t care much about these honors.

“By the way, how’s Hong Bin doing?”

Wang Tao almost forgot about Xiang Hongbin.

“His prosthetic limb is still being made, it might take another half month. But don’t worry, we’ll make sure he returns to your side in one piece before the New Year!”

“…Okay!”

Wang Tao figured that Xiang Hongbin must not be feeling too well at the mont. But as long as he could provide him with a set of prosthetics to fight with, it would all be worth it.

Qu Shilin didn’t plan to stay much longer with Wang Tao. She was ready to return to the Hope Research Institute to study the potion given by Wang Tao and to report about the Giant Eagle.

Before leaving, Qu Shilin took sothing down from her vehicle.

“This is for you, your remuneration for picking mushrooms!”

The item Qu Shilin gave was a device about the size of an ordinary washing machine.

“What is this?”

Wang Tao was curious.

“This is the latest model of the Crystal Core Synthesizer. The previous Synthesis Extractor has been renad to the Crystal Core Extractor…”

The Hope Research Institute had long ago created a device called the Crystal Core Synthesis Extractor.

Its function was to extract the side effects from a Crystal Core and, by consuming more crystal cores, to synthesize a non-side effect Crystal Core. Many forces within the base had this kind of device, and it was quite widespread. The device wasn’t expensive, but it consud a lot of crystal cores, so not just anyone could use it.

And now, the synthesizer Qu Shilin ntioned was impressive—it literally synthesized multiple Crystal Cores into one. However, it didn’t synthesize normal colored Crystal Cores, but those gray low-quality Crystal Cores!

“Do you an to say, this device can turn low-quality Crystal Cores into White Crystal Cores?”

Wang Tao was sowhat shocked.

He had been unaware of the use for the gray Crystal Cores produced by the Ordinary Zombies, considering their attributes were so rubbish.

But Qu Shilin told him that gray Crystal Cores could be turned into White Crystal Cores?

“Exactly! Do you have any Crystal Cores? Let show you a demonstration. It requires ten gray Crystal Cores, and currently, this machine can only handle up to Level 4. After all, we haven’t seen a Level 5 Crystal Core yet, so we can’t set it up for them…”

Qu Shilin looked a bit smug as she had also participated in the developnt of the Crystal Core Synthesizer.

“I do!”

Wang Tao imdiately took out ten Level 4 Gray Crystal Cores from his pocket. These were obtained from killing the ordinary zombies during the Giant Zombie attack. He had many of these Crystal Cores piled up in his Space Backpack like trash.

[Tier-4 Crystal Core]

[Quality: Inferior quality (2%)]

[Purity: 3.5% (Side effects: None)]

Qu Shilin inserted the Crystal Cores into the device one by one and explained to Wang Tao:

“After our research, we found that gray Crystal Cores are different from other Crystal Cores. They are like pieces of a puzzle that can fuse with each other! Colored Crystal Cores above white are a whole and cannot undergo this kind of fusion… Therefore, ten gray Crystal Cores can be synthesized into one White Crystal Core! However, there is a consumption—electricity. We are researching more energy-efficient devices…”

If gray Crystal Cores could be turned into White Crystal Cores, then using so electricity was definitely not a problem.

So far, gray Crystal Cores seed to have no use at all. However, even No Ability White Crystal Cores could be useful, such as providing power for the Powered Armor, supplying bullets for the Crystal Energy Gun…

Whirring—

While the two were talking, Qu Shilin plugged in the machine and after a vibration, a White Crystal Core appeared.

[Tier-4 Crystal Core]

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 35% (Side effects: None)]

“Sss—”

Seeing that it was truly a genuine Tier-4 White Crystal Core, Wang Tao was sowhat taken aback.

“Doesn’t that an, gray Crystal Cores are valuable now?”

Before Wang Tao left the base, many people had gray Crystal Cores, but they were not valuable, and many even turned them into ornants…

“Yes, gray Crystal Cores are valuable now! Since our research institute announced this, the value of gray Crystal Cores has been on the rise—oh right, the committee took this opportunity to revalue the Crystal Coins. Now 1 Crystal Coin is equal to ten Level 1 gray Crystal Cores…”

After Qu Shilin’s explanation, Wang Tao understood the current pricing of Crystal Cores.

Before he left, because of the ergence of No Ability Crystal Cores, the exchange rate between Crystal Cores and Crystal Coins was always fluctuating and difficult to stabilize.

Now, due to the massive appearance of gray Crystal Cores, the committee intervened, and the exchange rate between Crystal Cores and Crystal Coins finally settled down—
