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

Chapter 569 - 240: Merging Perception Abilities_3

"How could I take back something I’ve given to you? Just use whatever you want to use when it’s your turn,"

Wang Tao said with a smile as he ruffled Jiang Shixue’s hair.

He wasn’t in the habit of taking back what he had given away, and besides, nobody else could use the dagger since it was such a short weapon, except for Jiang Shixue.

"Okay!"

Jiang Shixue was very happy to hear Wang Tao’s words. After all, it was something that Wang Tao had given her, and she wanted to keep it whether she used it or not.

Wang Tao let Jiang Shixue get used to the claws on her own, while he prepared to start merging with the Perception Crystal Cores.

First, Wang Tao extracted the [Berserk Enhancement] Ability, and then merged it with the Epic Crystal Core that had already been synthesized in advance.

A moment later, the Perception merge was complete.

An impatient Wang Tao immediately used his Perception.

Then, Wang Tao felt as if he were in a black world, with many grey figures that had normal human shapes, clearly human. Some human figures had small blue light points on them. The more blue points, the stronger the Ability. Level 1, Level 2, Level 3... Wang Tao quickly distinguished them.

Next, Wang Tao checked the range of his Perception... He could sense almost the entire building!

It was roughly a circle with a thirty-meter radius centered around him that fell within his range of Perception!

However, buildings would block his Perception range. He could also guess where the buildings were by the reduced range...

Overall, this Perception Ability was very good!

With this Ability, Wang Tao no longer had to worry about being sneak-attacked by zombies!

After studying Perception for a while longer, Wang Tao looked at the Ability synthesis.

Perception was also a Psychic System Ability, which could be synthesized with Yin and Yang Balance.

[Yin and Yang Balance + Perception = 91%]

The success rate was 91%, worth a gamble.

Wang Tao directly consumed 30,000 Special Energy to synthesize.

A moment later, a new Superpower appeared.

[Level 3 Superpower • Yin and Yang Balance: Can sense surrounding objects, can slightly affect the minds of living beings, can cause instability in their spirits, can open a barrier that blocks Mental Attacks, and when having sexual intercourse with the opposite sex, both parties’ Mana will refill quickly, and the user will permanently increase a certain amount of Mana.

The permanent increase in Mana has a cooldown time, which is random. (Side effects: None)]

The name of the new Superpower hadn’t changed much, but the content now included Perception.

"Our capital for going to the military base has greatly increased!"

After playing with Perception for a bit longer, Wang Tao walked out of the room with Jiang Shixue.

Xu Xiaojun and the others were resting with their eyes closed in the living room outside. Hearing Wang Tao come out, they all opened their eyes.

"Come on, I’ve got some weapons for you all to share."

Having good things naturally meant sharing them with his people. Since Wang Tao had had his meat, he had to let everyone else have some soup.

"Huh?"

Seeing Wang Tao casually wave his hand and suddenly lots of Hand Axes appeared on the table, Yang Changhong was surprised.

Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan were used to it, but they were curious about the Hand Axes that were clearly all identical.

"These are Bone-Chopping Uniform Hand Axes; their Attack power’s a little stronger than that of the Bone Hand Crossbows, about the same as a Hand Crossbow plus a Crossbow Arrow..."

Wang Tao briefly introduced them and then let everyone try them out.

The Bone-Chopping Hand Axe was a One-Handed Axe and not too heavy; everyone could swing it with ease.

"It actually feels quite good in hand..."

Yang Changhong was somewhat surprised.

Her weapon was a machete, which was of decent quality but just decent. During the time she was away from the team, her machete had already dulled. She was just looking for a good weapon, and this Hand Axe seemed very suitable to her.

Although the Hand Axe wasn’t long, her machete wasn’t particularly long either. The weight of both was similar, and the feeling of swinging them was more or less the same. Plus, she could swing two Hand Axes at the same time!

As for the Attack power, there was no need for comparison—the Hand Axes blew her machete out of the water!

"I want to use two Hand Axes!"

Yang Changhong didn’t bother being polite with Wang Tao and simply spoke up.

"Sure."

Wang Tao nodded. Making these wasn’t difficult; it was just an Axe and a Level 3 Crystal Core.

"...May I have one?"

Nie Siyan raised her hand.

Wang Tao nodded.

So Nie Siyan happily took one.

Her weapon was a steel bar, which she didn’t find very handy. The main reason was that she had the Throwing Master Ability, which was more effective when she used the steel bar.

She felt quite comfortable wielding the Hand Axe, but she didn’t dare ask for more. After all, she knew she was the lowest in Wang Tao’s esteem, and she had to be aware of that.

As for Xu Xiaojun, he looked quite conflicted.

He found the Hand Axe very comfortable to use and its Attack power stronger than his Giant Axe. But he was used to the big, sweeping attacks with the Giant Axe. If he suddenly switched to a small Hand Axe, there was a bit of an adjustment period.

"Just carry two on you for now, whether you use them or not. They’ll do as backups,"

Wang Tao said with a smile. Back in Shuize Base, he used to carry five or six Firefighter Axes.

"Okay!"

Xu Xiaojun nodded.

He decided to practice with the One-Handed Axe later; he couldn’t afford to drag the team down.

Wang Tao then looked at Yang Changhong.

"You’re not hurt, are you?"

She had been knocked down by a Ghost Claw Zombie before, and although her armor had blocked the zombie’s attack, she still suffered some internal injuries.

"I’m fine! Your armor has high defensive power, and I just got a little shaken-up, that’s all."

Yang Changhong said with a smile.

She was no fragile woman; such an injury was really nothing to her.

"Alright, glad you’re fine." Wang Tao nodded and then said, "I plan to make another trip to the school tomorrow, and we’ll leave here the day after tomorrow."

"Ah? Did you find something?"

Yang Changhong asked curiously.

"I haven’t found anything. But there are still a lot of zombies in the school; we can harvest some Crystal Cores. And by solving some dangers for Duzhu Town Base, it can be considered a good deed,"

Wang Tao actually wanted to test out his new Perception Ability. The school area, with many zombies, was a great place for its deployment.

"Great!"

Everyone nodded.
