Chapter 371: Chapter 174: You Just Need to Tell Me the Location_3

“`

The kind of enhancement, especially since it happened in such a short time, was something he wouldn’t even dare to dream of!

He was already restraining himself; if it had been someone else, they might have jumped for joy.

“How does that axe feel in use? Is it handy?”

Wang Tao asked with a smile.

“Handy! It’s incredibly handy!”

Xu Xiaojun immediately nodded.

“As long as it’s handy, that’s good. Practice with it more, and if I think you’re qualified, I’ll give you the Giant Axe.”

Upon hearing Wang Tao offer to give him the Giant Axe, Xu Xiaojun was instinctively excited, but then he quickly waved his hands in refusal.

“Brother Wang, I really shouldn’t! That’s your weapon, I can’t take it! Besides, you use it much better than I could. Giving it to me would be a waste!”

Seeing Xu Xiaojun’s sincere, even anxious face, and knowing he wasn’t faking, Wang Tao burst into laughter.

“The weapon is indeed decent, but I’m not used to it. And I’m not giving it to you unconditionally; you’ll need to prove yourself first.”

Seeing Xu Xiaojun about to say more, Wang Tao spoke up to interrupt him.

“Alright, let’s settle it at that. Let’s discuss your overall feelings now…”

“…Okay!”

Seeing Wang Tao’s determined tone, Xu Xiaojun didn’t keep talking about the Giant Axe. He always believed that actions speak louder than words. He wouldn’t say much; instead, he would repay Wang Tao with his actions!

He began to share his feelings about using the Giant Axe in detail with Wang Tao.

Shockwave, or rather some special abilities’ attack power, were not only related to the special ability level but also involved many other aspects.

Such as physical fitness, the amount of energy consumed, skill, and even the strength of the weapon—all these could impact the power of an ability.

This was why, even though Wang Tao could produce a Shockwave with his bare hands, he insisted on using an axe or a hammer—the weapons provided a certain boost to his abilities.

“Oh right, the Crystal Core!”

Xu Xiaojun almost forgot; he hurriedly took out an Orange Crystal Core from his pocket.

[Level 2 Crystal Core·Self Detonation]

[Quality: Epic (100%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: none)]

“Eh? You’ve got some good luck here!”

Wang Tao hadn’t expected the Crystal Core Xu Xiaojun obtained to be of Epic Quality.

Even though it wasn’t much use to Wang Tao, at least it looked pretty.

Jiang Shixue’s eyes lit up when she saw the Crystal Core; she liked the color orange.

“Here, take this.”

Wang Tao handed the Self-Destruct Crystal Core directly to Jiang Shixue.

Jiang Shixue instinctively reached out to take it but immediately pulled back.

“No, thank you.”

Wang Tao was a bit surprised but quickly realized why. Jiang Shixue understood the value of the Crystal Core and therefore declined because she would get no use from it other than as a plaything.

Looking at Jiang Shixue, so understanding, Wang Tao immediately felt a fatherly kind of pride. His time teaching her had not been in vain.

Wang Tao took back the Crystal Core, then with a thought, found two Level 1 Self-Destruct Crystal Cores in his Space Backpack and synthesized an Epic Level 1 Self-Destruct Crystal Core.

“Then this is for you, it’s of no use to me.”

Looking at this Level 1 Orange Crystal Core, Jiang Shixue didn’t refuse this time. She happily accepted it with a bright face.

“Thank you, Big Brother~”

“Haha, I’m glad you like it.”

Wang Tao laughed heartily, then told Xu Xiaojun to rest up a bit.

Although he had only swung the axe three times, he had used a huge amount of energy to maximize the damage, and now he needed to recover that energy.

Wang Tao, on the other hand, drove the car following the team and glanced at his Space Backpack.

He had just killed a Level 2 Athlete Zombie and had gotten a Crystal Core and a package.

Since it was not an over-levelled kill, the package contained much less.

[Level 2 Crystal Core·Athlete]

[Quality: Ordinary (20%)]

[Purity: 45% (Side effects: double the physical strength consumption in action)]

[Athlete: Passive Ability, enhances athletic capabilities]

This was an Athlete Crystal Core. Although it was a Crystal Core of ordinary quality, Wang Tao had two more Athlete Crystal Cores!

One was of outstanding quality that he had obtained before, and the other was the Blue Quality one he had just taken from Yang Changhong. Now, with this ordinary quality Crystal Core, he could synthesize a Level 2 Epic Crystal Core without impurities or side effects!

Wang Tao felt this Crystal Core was quite nice, the type he liked. But he didn’t hurry to synthesize it. After all, even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to fuse it for now.

However, he had some ideas about this Crystal Core.

He had two Passive Ability Crystal Cores that he liked very much—[Frenzy]. Since [Athlete] was also a Passive Ability, could it be possible to fuse it with Frenzy?

Wang Tao liked both abilities very much. If these two could be fused, then he might have found the fourth ability he had been hesitant to decide on!

Of course, he still needed another Frenzy Crystal Core and a lot of special energy… He would have to look for more opportunities to hunt Level 2 Zombies!

Zijing City was also a big city; Wang Tao thought there should be quite a few Level 2 Zombies inside. Once they arrived in Zijing City, they would need to make a good plan…

At dusk, the convoy stopped outside an abandoned motel.

“Let’s rest here for tonight, what do you think?”

Yang Changhong knocked on Wang Tao’s window.

“No problem.”

Wang Tao got out of the car. Xu Xiaojun and Jiang Shixue also got out one after another.

Previously, when Wang Tao and the others showed up together, everyone’s gaze would subconsciously turn toward Jiang Shixue, since people naturally focus on beautiful things. But now, all eyes were on Xu Xiaojun. There was no helping it; he was just too strong!

Xu Xiaojun was somewhat unaccustomed to so many people staring at him, and he scratched his head with a sheepish smile.

Yang Changhong glanced at Xu Xiaojun, then at Wang Tao, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

“What’s up?”

Wang Tao looked at her curiously.

Yang Changhong took a deep breath, then said to Wang Tao:

“I know of a place, where there are a lot of Level 2 Zombies. I didn’t dare to go there before. With Mr. Xu’s strength, he might give it a try, but it’s still incredibly dangerous…”

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

“Don’t tell me about the dangers. Just tell me where the place is!”
