Chapter 537: Chapter 230 Iron Tree Vines_1
That day, Lan Yulian brought a lot of Crystal Cores to Wang Tao again.
“Wang Tao, see if there are any you can use.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wang Tao glanced at her and said:
“All for me? You still owe me so much, these Crystal Cores aren’t enough to pay off your debt!”
“I’m just letting you pick, I’m not giving them all to you…”
Lan Yulian hurriedly said.
“Stingy.”
“…Anyway, I’ve mortgaged myself to you, take it or leave it!” Lan Yulian first gave Wang Tao a glare, then spoke in a pitiful tone, “This is all I’ve got left in Crystal Cores, I can’t give them all to you, otherwise the base won’t be able to develop…”
Wang Tao was just joking; he knew Lan Yulian had now become the base leader and had to consider the needs of over ten thousand people at the base.
“Then leave the Crystal Cores, I’ll pick a few, and you keep the rest.”
“Love you!”
Lan Yulian immediately hugged Wang Tao joyfully and gave him a firm kiss on the cheek. Then she moved her face closer, and Wang Tao could only helplessly give her a peck.
Lu Yingfeng gave the two a disdainful look from the side.
She was choking on their public display of affection, even feeling a bit envious. Having a suitable and strong partner in the post-apocalyptic world was indeed enviable.
Lan Yulian had a lot more to do, so after delivering the Crystal Cores, she left.
Wang Tao collected all these Crystal Cores into his space, and when he took them out again, more than half were gone, but they had all turned into purple and above high-quality Crystal Cores!
Since Lan Yulian was now his woman, Wang Tao certainly didn’t mind helping out a bit.
Among these Crystal Cores, Wang Tao indeed found a few he could use.
Wang Tao looked at his own Abilities.
His current four Abilities were:
[Level 2·Iron Wall (+10)]
[Level 2·Extraordinary Rage (+10)]
[Level 2·Mastery Fusion (+10)]
[Level 2·Yin and Yang Balance (+1)]
The first three Abilities had already reached +10, only this newly combined Yin and Yang Balance was at +1… That clearly wasn’t enough.
So Wang Tao was planning to combine this Yin and Yang Balance with other Abilities to see if they could merge.
He now had over three hundred thousand in Special Energy, and extracting and synthesizing Second-order Superpower Owners required only five thousand, which was enough for his experiments.
After a series of experiments, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
This Yin and Yang Balance was a Passive Ability. He had thought it could combine with other passive abilities, but the experiments showed that the merging probability with other Passive Abilities was not high. Instead, it had a much higher chance of merging with Psychic System Abilities!
This indicated that the Yin and Yang Balance was a Psychic System Ability.
Surprise notwithstanding, this was actually good news, because Wang Tao did indeed have many Psychic System Abilities he wished to merge.
Wang Tao looked around and found a few suitable Crystal Cores.
They were [Mental Disturbance], [Mental Fluctuation], and [Mental Barrier].
[Mental Disturbance: Can slightly influence the minds of living beings]
[Mental Fluctuation: Can make living beings mentally unstable]
[Mental Barrier: Opens a barrier that blocks mental attacks]
Wang Tao previously had a Mental Disturbance Crystal Core, which had dropped from that Toad zombie back at Shuize Base. Now, he had obtained another two from this batch, just enough to synthesize an Epic Crystal Core.
This Ability basically caused living beings to make incorrect judgments. The simpler the brain, the more significant the impact. The smarter the being, the less the effect, and it might even be ineffective.
Wang Tao specifically tried it out, and currently, this ability couldn’t affect humans at all; it could only affect zombies.
For example, it could make zombies mistake him for their Lord, then follow him, protect him, fight for him, and such.
But the problem was, this Ability only worked at close range, and as soon as zombies got close to him, they would smell the human scent on him. This aroused their appetite, rendering the disturbance completely ineffective…
However, combined with a Stealth Potion, things were different. Stealth Potion could change one’s scent, making it undetectable to zombies. That way, zombies wouldn’t want to eat him anymore.
Of course, even with Stealth Potion, he couldn’t be too close to zombies, or it would still fail, but at least he could control it now, unlike before.
With Stealth Potion, Wang Tao could have around a dozen Level 2 Zombies circling him. It looked quite impressive, but it wasn’t very practical.
The second Mental Fluctuation Crystal Core was also quite interesting. Similarly, it had a greater impact on beings with simpler minds. However, this one influenced emotions. It had little effect on humans, but with zombies, it could suddenly make them go into a frenzy or become passive… This Ability might be used as a trick up the sleeve.
The third Mental Barrier Crystal Core was powerful.
This Ability could create an invisible barrier that enveloped a person like a second skin and could move with them.
This barrier could last for about ten minutes, and during that time, it could block some mental attacks.
For instance, if Wang Tao put a Mental Barrier on a zombie and then tried using Mental Disturbance on it, the Mental Disturbance would be ineffective.
However, this Mental Barrier had its own HP, ten thousand, and receiving mental attacks would reduce the HP. Once the HP hit zero, the Mental Barrier would disappear. Physical attacks naturally couldn’t be blocked, but they also didn’t reduce HP.
In any case, overall, the Ability Wang Tao liked most out of these was the Mental Barrier. A life-saving Ability for critical moments!
