Chapter 233 Why Did You Become Smaller?

Wang Tao felt that the feeling of being promoted to the third level was similar to that of being promoted to the second level.

He could also pass on a superpower to others, and then learn a new superpower.

But there was no need, including Lan Yulian, who did not pass on the superpower after being promoted. After all, the superpowers they had merged before were carefully selected by Wang Tao, and there was no need to change other superpowers.

After Wang Tao woke up, he felt refreshed. The fatigue caused by hunting zombies before was completely gone.

And he could clearly feel that his physical fitness and five senses had improved a lot, which was completely different from his second level!

"Wang Tao, you're awake!"

Lan Yulian was already sitting by the bed, and Jiang Shixue and Lu Yingfeng were also there.

"I also slept for 24 hours, right?"

"Exactly 24 hours."

Wang Tao got up and looked in the mirror, and he found that he had grown a little bigger!

Then he measured it with a ruler. He was 1.9 meters tall before, and now he is exactly 2 meters tall!

Wang Tao learned from his observations during this period that the stronger the physique, the more likely it is that the size of a person will increase when he is promoted.

For example, Lan Yulian and the other women have not grown much after their promotion, even at the third level, and may even be a little slimmer?

Only after Xu Xiaojun was promoted, he grew taller and fatter, and is now 2.2 meters tall! Especially when he puts on that armor, he feels very oppressive!

Of course, Wang Tao is not bad either. Now his 2-meter height and muscles make Lan Yulian's eyes shine.

Wang Tao clenched his fists, feeling the surging power in his body, and said to the three women:

"I'll go out and try my strength."

"Let's go together!"

It was afternoon when Wang Tao was promoted yesterday, and it is naturally afternoon now.

After going out, Wang Tao frowned at the gloomy sky.

"It's going to rain..."

"It will probably rain tonight."

Lu Yingfeng looked at the sky and said.

"If it rains tonight, I'll leave tomorrow morning."

Wang Tao suddenly said.

"Ah?"

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng looked at Wang Tao in surprise. Lan Yulian's face was even more flustered.

"Are you leaving tomorrow? So soon! You won't stay for two more days..."

Wang Tao stroked Lan Yulian's little face and explained:

"After the virus broke out, there has been no normal rain. Either it doesn't rain, or it rains for many days at a time. Although it is corrosive acid rain, humans can't stay in the rain for a long time, but it will also weaken the senses of zombies a lot. So as long as you do a good job of protection, this is a good time to go out."

From the few news about Wuyang City now, it is very dangerous there.

Even if Wang Tao is promoted to the third level, he will not be arrogant and think that he is invincible. Going to a dangerous place like Wuyang City, you must be careful. Rain is a good opportunity!

After hearing Wang Tao's explanation, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were silent. They knew that what Wang Tao said was right. It is more advantageous for Wang Tao to leave at this time. But... I can't bear it!

Originally, the two women were very excited to see Wang Tao's strength, but until Wang Tao finished the test, they were still a little dazed.

"Let's go back."

"Well..."

After returning to the compound, it was already dark.

Wang Tao took a simple shower first, and then took out a lot of things at once.

Including some potions, medical kits, various grenades, armor, crossbows, crystal cores he didn't use, etc.

Watching Wang Tao take out a lot of things in an instant, Lan Yulian, who was still a little sad, was slowly diverted.

"These things are left to you, you can use them sparingly..."

Wang Tao briefly explained the purpose of these things.

Especially the [Tree Essence], both of them were a little surprised, it was the first time they saw something that could increase the energy limit!

"After you take it, you can feel whether your energy limit has increased. If it hasn't increased, don't take it to avoid wasting it. It has a cooling time, but the specific time is unclear, which is related to your respective physiques..."

This is one of the real good things in Wang Tao's hands, and Wang Tao didn't hesitate to leave a part for them directly.

The more Lan Yulian saw Wang Tao treat her well, the more reluctant she was to leave... But she was not the kind of woman who could not distinguish between the primary and the secondary. Since Wang Tao really did not want to stay, she could not force him.

"Wang Tao, thank you..."

"What are you thanking me for? This is not for free. You owe me this and you will pay it back in the future! Protect your life well and wait for me to collect interest later!"

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Lan Yulian did not speak again, but hugged Wang Tao and gave him a long kiss.

Lu Yingfeng next to him looked like she had no desire to live.

There is someone next to you, can you pay attention to it!

After parting their lips, Lan Yulian whispered in Wang Tao's ear with some charm:

"It's time to rest. I'm going to take a shower first. You wait for me obediently!"

Wang Tao waved his hand.

"Go."

Lan Yulian took Lu Yingfeng away.

After watching the two women leave, Wang Tao lay casually on the bed and focused his eyes on his attribute panel.

[HP: 30000/30000]

[Mana: 25600/25600]

[Special Energy: 524200]

[Level: Level 3]

[Hidden Attributes: Physical Fitness, Night Vision, Plant Affinity]

[Superpowers: Level 3·Iron Wall (+1), Level 3·Extraordinary Rage (+1), Level 3·Mastery (+1), Level 3·Yin and Yang Harmony (+1)]

There is nothing to say about the health of 30,000, but the mana of nearly 25,000 is very good. He has been taking tree essence, and he has more crystal cores than others, so he has more mana.

More mana means endurance, which is a disguised way to increase combat power.

Moreover, Wang Tao has just reached the third level, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.

He is now preparing to synthesize a few crystal cores to try. He has not synthesized these four superpowers yet, and he can continue to synthesize them after reaching the third level.

The first is the status-type [Iron Wall] superpower. There are actually quite a few status-type superpowers, but many of them are useless to Wang Tao, so this superpower cannot be synthesized now.

Then there is the active attack-type [Mastery] superpower. This type of crystal core is relatively rare, and Wang Tao has not found any suitable ones, so he cannot synthesize it for the time being.

As for the spiritual ability [Yin Yang Harmony], Wang Tao has some ideas - he plans to synthesize [Spiritual Shock], [Spiritual Defense] and [Perception].

These three abilities are all spiritual, and the success rate of synthesis should be quite high, but unfortunately Wang Tao does not have enough crystal cores.

These crystal cores all have side effects, and Wang Tao needs to use three of the same crystal cores to remove the side effects and impurities.

So I can only wait and see if I can save a few more in the future.

Finally, there is the passive ability [Extraordinary Rage].

The most common type of crystal core in Wang Tao's hand is the passive ability crystal core, so this ability can be synthesized with other abilities.

Wang Tao took out two crystal cores first.

[Photosynthesis: Passive ability, standing in the sun, you can absorb the sun's energy and slowly restore mana]

[Absorbing nutrients: Passive ability, standing on the land, you can absorb the nutrients of the land and slowly restore blood]

These two crystal cores were exploded by killing the third-level plant monster.

Originally, Wang Tao only had one of each, but he had been hunting zombies outside these days and encountered several third-level plant monsters. Although it was only at the elite level and didn't drop any good stuff, it dropped a few crystal cores, which was just right for the two crystal cores to be synthesized into epic.

These two abilities are passive mana recovery and health recovery. Although it is slow, it does not consume energy. When you have nothing to do, you can recover mana and health by standing on the ground in the sun. Isn't this wonderful!

Wang Tao had always wanted to synthesize these two crystal cores before, and now he finally had the chance.

He first extracted his [Iron Wall] ability, and then fused a [Photosynthesis]

Wang Tao looked at the synthesis probability of his passive abilities [Extraordinary Rage] and [Energy Boost].

"92%... This probability is quite high!"

Wang Tao started synthesizing without saying anything.

There was no accident, and it succeeded instantly.

Wang Tao also fused [Nutrient Absorption] into his body.

The probability of this synthesis is 94%, and it is synthesized directly. After this crystal core was synthesized, Wang Tao took out another one.

[Physical Fitness Enhancement: Physical Fitness is Improved in All Directions]

This was exploded from the spoils package of killing the Night Demon zombie.

The Night Demon has no special abilities, and relies entirely on strong physical fitness. If Wang Tao does not use the entangled tree roots, his physical fitness is not as good as that of the Night Demon.

The reason why the Night Demon's physical fitness is so strong should be due to this physical fitness enhancement crystal core.

So Wang Tao regards it as the last passive ability he synthesized.

However, there are three types of crystal cores in the Night Demon's spoils package, namely [Health Enhancement], [Energy Enhancement] and [Physical Fitness Enhancement].

[Health Enhancement: Increase the upper limit of 1000 health]

[Energy Enhancement: Increase the upper limit of 1000 mana]

In fact, Wang Tao also likes these two "Health Enhancement" and "Energy Enhancement" abilities.

Not to mention the mana, this is definitely a good thing. Fusing 10 pieces means 10,000 mana. In the absence of mana recovery means, this ability is obviously very good.

Take this blood volume, the blood volume it increases belongs to the additional blood volume limit!

Meaning, for example, Wang Tao is now at the third level, then his blood volume limit should be 99999 blood, but if he fuses a [blood volume increase] crystal core, then his blood volume limit will break through the original limit and reach 100999 blood!

If he increases [blood volume increase] by +10, then he will have 109999 blood! And he is still at the third level!

This is the additional blood volume limit!

The reason why Wang Tao knew this was because he had seen too many crystal cores during this period, and also found many strange and interesting crystal cores. Among them are blood-adding and mana-adding crystal cores.

Wang Tao specially asked someone to do an experiment, and then he learned that these blood-adding crystal cores increase the blood volume limit extra.

However, there are not many blood-adding crystal cores, and the numbers added are very small. The first-level adds 10 blood, the second-level adds 100 blood, even if you get 10 second-level ones, you can only add 1000 blood.

[Health Increase] can increase 1,000 health points, 10 pieces means 10,000 health points, which is a huge increase.

Wang Tao used to think that it would be a waste to fuse this crystal core that increases the upper limit of health points, after all, killing zombies will also increase the upper limit of health points, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

But unfortunately, Wang Tao has [Photosynthesis] and [Absorbing Nutrients].

Wang Tao was still somewhat entangled, and finally did not choose [Health Increase] and [Energy Increase].

However, Wang Tao had an idea about these two crystal cores, and he was going to try it later...

After Wang Tao synthesized this [Physique Improvement], his new ability appeared.

[Level 3 Superpower·Furious Amplification]

[Furious Amplification: Passive ability, can increase strength, defense, spirit, running speed, athletic ability, throwing skills, and physique; standing in the sun, can absorb the sun's energy and slowly restore mana; standing on the land, can absorb the nutrients of the land and slowly restore blood; when the blood volume is less than 30%, it triggers rage (side effects: none)]

Looking at this long list of entries, Wang Tao grinned. This looks really cool!

Then Wang Tao extracted the two superpowers of [Comprehensive Understanding] and [Yin Yang Harmony]. He only had one [Furious Amplification] left.

The reason for doing this is naturally because he wants to fuse the almighty crystal core.

After all, the other three abilities have not been synthesized yet, and only the violent amplification has reached the upper limit. In order to prevent the almighty crystal core from upgrading the three abilities, they must be extracted.

Wang Tao has quite a few level 3 almighty crystal cores in his hand. Killing zombies above their level is particularly prone to the explosion of the two crystal cores [omnipotence] and [promotion].

A moment later.

[Level 3 Ability·Violent Amplification (+10)]

The level of this ability is directly maxed out!

Since Wang Tao's passive ability has attributes such as strength and physique, the feeling brought by its level being upgraded to +10 is relatively intuitive.

Wang Tao can clearly feel that his attributes have become much stronger!

He feels that if he fights a level 3 Night Demon again, even if he doesn't need to wrap around tree roots or other abilities, his physical fitness alone can suppress the Night Demon!

This is not arrogance, but confidence in his own improvement this time!

Wang Tao is ready to go back and find a few Night Demons to try his hand...

After feeling his own improvement for a while, Wang Tao turned his attention to [Health Increase] and [Energy Increase].

Since the fusion of these two abilities will increase the HP and mana, Wang Tao has an idea, that is, to combine these two crystal cores as an emergency ability!

+10 HP increase can increase the current HP and HP limit by 10,000. If Wang Tao suddenly extracts other abilities when he is at low HP, and then fuses this +10 HP increase into his body, then does it mean that he instantly has 10,000 more HP?

If this is really possible, then this is a life-saving ability at a critical moment! If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter, anyway, Wang Tao now has a lot of special energy. Just now, only 180,000 was used, and now there are more than 340,000 left, which is enough for him to try.

Wang Tao fused these two crystal cores and got a new ability [HP Increase], and then he used the almighty crystal core to +10 this new ability.

[Level 3 ability: Blood boost (+10)]

[Blood boost: passive ability, increases 10,000 HP, increases 10,000 mana]

At this time, Wang Tao's HP has increased by 10,000, and his mana has increased by 14,400!

The reason why the mana has increased so much is because the fusion of crystal cores itself increases mana. He fused these crystal cores one by one, so naturally he added a lot of mana.

Blood boost is a very simple ability, which should be very useful at critical moments.

But it can only be used at critical moments. Normally, the other four main abilities must be used.

So Wang Tao prepared to extract it and replace it with his main ability.

After spending 30,000 special energy, he successfully extracted the [Blood boost] ability and turned it into a crystal core.

But when Wang Tao was about to fuse the two extracted abilities into his body, he was suddenly stunned.

"Huh? Why didn't my HP and MP decrease?"

Theoretically, after he extracted the crystal core, the bonus to his body was gone, and his HP and MP should be gone. But now... they are still there!

And the [HP Enhancement] crystal core he extracted is still lying in his backpack!

"Are HP and MP different from other attributes? If I continue to fuse the 'HP Enhancement' crystal core, can I continue to increase HP and MP?"

Wang Tao suddenly got a little excited. Did he find a bug in this world?

So, he immediately prepared to fuse the [Level 3 Superpower·HP Enhancement (Discarded)] crystal core again.

As a result, Wang Tao found that he couldn't fuse it! And he didn't look carefully just now, and now he found that the name of the extracted crystal core has changed. Normally, there should be "+10" in the brackets, but it turned out to be "discarded"!

"Fuck! I knew it, there's no bug..."

Wang Tao was a little disappointed. If there really was such a bug, he could infinitely refresh its health and mana bars through the two steps of extraction and fusion, but unfortunately it didn't work.

However, Wang Tao was not disappointed. Although he couldn't infinitely refresh the attributes, he fused the attributes of this crystal core into his body.

After Wang Tao fused the other two extracted abilities again, Wang Tao looked at his own attributes.

[Health: 40000/40000]

[Mana: 40000/40000]

40,000 health, 40,000 mana!

In this short period of time, Wang Tao's strength has improved again!

It's a bit cool!

Unfortunately, this can only happen once. It would be even more fun if it could happen more times.

Wang Tao looked at the discarded orange crystal core. Its appearance was golden, and you didn't even know it was discarded.

Maybe in the future, if he doesn't like someone, he can take this crystal core to cheat them?

The crystal core extracted from the supernatural power synthesized by Wang Tao cannot be used by others. But if it is a complete crystal core, Wang Tao will definitely not be willing to waste it. And this crystal core has been discarded, it would be nice if it can be recycled.

And Wang Tao suddenly thought again, since this is not a bug, but a problem with the mechanism of this supernatural power, can others use it this way?

For example, let Lan Yulian fuse the [Health Increase] crystal core, and then use the peeling crystal core to peel it off, then will Lan Yulian also have 10,000 more blood?

However, Wang Tao only has the second-level peeling crystal core, and no third-level one. Lan Yulian is now at the third level, so it can't be used.

"I'll find a second-level person to test it later..."

If it really works, then this is also an alternative way to improve strength!

At this time, Wang Tao heard someone enter the room.

Then with a snap, the lights in the room went out.

Wang Tao could feel someone approaching the bed. He raised his eyebrows.

"What does Lan Yulian mean by this? Do you want to play role-playing? Okay, then I'll cooperate with you."

Wang Tao lay on the bed without getting up or opening his eyes. Pretending to be asleep.

Then Wang Tao felt that Lan Yulian had been lingering in front of his bed for a long time but didn't come over. It seemed that she was a little...hesitant?

Wang Tao suddenly looked forward to it. In fact, although Lan Yulian often sticks with Wang Tao, she is actually more old-fashioned in some aspects...Wang Tao felt that Lan Yulian might have brought her new tricks this time.

After a while, Lan Yulian seemed to have made up her mind. She lingered to the bed, then quietly climbed up, and deliberately did not touch Wang Tao, for fear of waking him up.

Wang Tao didn't know what this was. He thought that with Lan Yulian's personality, she should hug him directly. Did she want to wait for him to take the initiative?

So, Wang Tao suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the person who had just been lying next to him.

"Hmm~"

The other person seemed to be startled, and his whole body tensed up.

And Wang Tao was stunned.

"Hmm? Why did you become smaller?"
