Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure

Chapter 341 The Millionaire
  Qu Shilin has two homes, one is a research institute and the other is a small villa she bought herself.

The "home" she mentioned was her second home, but that location was far away and it was late now, so Wang Tao didn't go there.

"Okay...but we have agreed that you must go there later! I have collected a lot of strange stones, maybe there are actually mutant eggs!"

Qu Shilin thinks that with so many stones she has collected, there must be one or two lucky ones, right?

"can."

Wang Tao nodded.

Looking at the big snakes playing together in the distance, Qu Shilin's eyes were filled with envy.

"You really don't want to sell it? Or just rent one from me..."

"No need to discuss." Wang Tao shook his head, and then explained, "These snakes are equivalent to being bound to us and only listen to our words. If you want to do research on them and I am not around, you may be bitten. I I don’t think you can defeat a level four monster.”

"Uh……"

After hearing what Wang Tao said, Qu Shilin was a little scared. After all, she is only the third level, and she is still a weakling of the third level...

"Are they lords or elites?"

Qu Shilin asked again.

She hasn't seen many living monsters, so it's not easy to judge. In her eyes, the aura of the fourth-level elites and lords was terrifying, but it had little impact on her. After all, no matter how bad she is, she is still a genuine third-level superpower.

"Fourth level elite."

Wang Tao felt a little regretful.

Those snake eggs said that they could hatch snakes above fourth-level elites, but it turned out that these five snake eggs hatched were all elites... I don't know if they had the chance to be promoted to fourth-level lords.

"That's pretty strong! We don't have many Level [-] players in our base until now!"

Qu Shilin still couldn't keep her eyes away from these black snakes. She really wanted such a pet.

"Then can you tell me about the disaster-level snake you encountered before? By the way, these black snakes like you are probably the eggs of that disaster-level snake, right?"

Qu Shilin originally wanted to ask about the disaster-level snake, but when it came to this big snake, Qu Shilin suddenly associated the disaster-level snake with these black snakes. After all, they are all snakes, and they were all encountered by Wang Tao.

Regarding this matter, Wang Tao had no intention of hiding it.

"These are indeed the eggs of that disaster-level snake. These eggs were in its body, and I accidentally discovered them during the dissection..."

Naturally, it was impossible for Wang Tao to say that these eggs were obtained from the snake cave, otherwise it might make Cheng Yiyi and others feel unbalanced, and even think that Wang Tao was deliberately plotting against them.

Although Wang Tao doesn't care much about other people's opinions, there is no need to take the blame. After all, he only learned about these good things in the cave from Jiang Shixue after Cheng Yiyi and others left.

Of course, Wang Tao didn't need to go out of his way to distance himself from the snake egg and the disaster-level snake. It was not good to be secretive. So Wang Tao directly said that the snake eggs were from the belly of the disaster-level snake.

Anyway, they had already negotiated at that time. The body of the disaster-level snake belonged to Wang Tao, and everything in the body belonged to Wang Tao. No one had any objections.

"Really!"

Qu Shilin was a little surprised.

"As for that disaster-level snake..."

Wang Tao and Qu Shilin talked about the situation at that time. After all, it was the first disaster-level monster and it had great research value.

"As for its body...a giant eagle appeared and ate its body."

Wang Tao said nonsense.

Regarding the awakening fruit, Wang Tao himself has not yet understood it, and it will definitely not be exposed for the time being.

"That's such a pity..."

Qu Shilin was immediately disappointed. She originally thought that if she had a chance in the future, she would study the disaster-level snake that was inaccessible even after it died, but the body was gone.

But it was just now that Qu Shilin discovered that the giant eagle seen by the search team she hired before turned out to be a fifth-level lord with [Giant] Awakening!

This is important news related to the security of Changhe Base! She needs to report it.

When Wang Tao talked about the disaster-level snake, he suddenly said:

"By the way, I'll give you the mushrooms just in time."

One of Wang Tao's tasks this time was to agree to Qu Shilin's request to pick mushrooms. She only wants 100 power mushrooms, and the rest belongs to Wang Tao.

However, Wang Tao gained a lot this time. In addition to power mushrooms, he also got a lot of defensive mushrooms and spiritual mushrooms.

Wang Tao was not stingy and gave 100 of each item to Qu Shilin.

"Huh? There are other mushrooms!"

Qu Shilin was a little surprised.

"It's all from the cave. I kept some of it and gave it all to you."

Wang Tao explained.

"Thank you!"

Qu Shilin was not polite and happily accepted the mushrooms. She also explained:

"The energy in this mushroom is very magical, but it has side effects. I am currently studying how to extract its energy. When I succeed in my research, I will give you the first one to try!"

"..."

Why does Wang Tao feel that Qu Shilin is treating him as a guinea pig?
  Seeing Qu Shilin who was a little excited, Wang Tao thought for a while, took out a few bottles of medicine from his pocket and handed them to her.

"Huh? This is..."

"If you are referring to extracting the power from this 'power mushroom' and making it into a medicine without side effects, then you may need this..."

Wang Tao briefly explained the functions of these potions.

"???"

After listening to this, Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with questions in her head.

"Don't ask me where these potions come from, I just picked them up. After all, you don't think I am someone who has the ability to make such a thing..."

Wang Tao shrugged.

After hearing Wang Tao's words, Qu Shilin didn't ask any more questions.

She really felt that Wang Tao couldn't make such a thing. After all, human energy is limited. It was impossible for Wang Tao to do scientific research while fighting outside, right? Even if Wang Tao is a genius, he doesn't have any equipment, so he can't make it out of thin air, right?

Qu Shilin no longer struggled with the origin of this potion. She said to Wang Tao excitedly:
  "If these potions are really as magical as you say, then maybe I can imitate them! Then you have definitely made a great contribution to our base!"

"Maybe. Anyway, as long as I can help people, that's fine."

Wang Tao doesn't care much about these reputational matters.

"By the way, how is Xiang Hongbin doing?"

Wang Tao almost forgot about Xiang Hongbin.

"His prosthesis is still being made, and it may take half a month. But don't worry, we will definitely have him back with you in good health before the Chinese New Year!"

"……Row!"

Wang Tao guessed that Xiang Hongbin must be feeling uncomfortable at this time. But as long as he can make a set of prosthetics that can fight, it will be all worth it.

Qu Shilin didn't plan to stay with Wang Tao longer. She planned to go back to the research institute to study the potion given by Wang Tao and tell her about the giant eagle.

Before leaving, Qu Shilin moved something from her car.

"This is for you, this is your reward for picking mushrooms!"

The thing Qu Shilin gave was an instrument about the same size as an ordinary washing machine.

"what is this?"

Wang Tao was a little curious.

"This is the latest crystal nucleation synthesizer. The previous synthesis and extraction instrument has been renamed the crystal nucleation extraction instrument..." Hope Research Institute has long produced an instrument called the crystal nucleation synthesis and extraction instrument.

Its function is to extract the side effects from the crystal nucleus, and by consuming more crystal nuclei, a crystal nucleus without side effects is synthesized. Many forces in the base have this kind of instrument, which is considered popular. The instrument is not expensive, but it consumes a lot of crystal nuclei, so it is not suitable for ordinary people to use.

And now the synthesizer that Qu Shilin mentioned is amazing. It literally synthesizes multiple crystal nuclei into one, but what is synthesized is not the normal colored crystal nucleus, but the gray inferior crystal nucleus!
  "You mean, this instrument can turn inferior crystal nuclei into white crystal nuclei?"

Wang Tao was a little shocked.

It had never known the use of the gray crystal cores exploded by ordinary zombies. After all, the properties were too spicy.

But Qu Shilin told him that gray crystal nuclei can be synthesized into white crystal nuclei?
  "That's right! Do you have any crystal nuclei in your hand? Let me test it for you. You need 10 gray crystal nuclei. Currently, this instrument can only synthesize fourth-order and lower-order crystal nuclei. After all, we haven't seen fifth-order crystal nuclei yet. There is no way to make the corresponding settings..."

Qu Shilin looked a little proud, because she also participated in the development of this crystal nucleus synthesizer.

"Have!"

Wang Tao immediately took out 10 fourth-order gray crystal cores from his pocket, which were obtained by killing ordinary zombies when the giant zombies attacked before. There are a lot of these crystal nuclei in his hand, piled in his space backpack like garbage.

【Fourth order crystal nucleus】

[Quality: inferior (2%)]

【Purity: 3.5% (Side Effects: None)】

Qu Shilin took these crystal nuclei and put them into the instrument one by one, and then explained to Wang Tao:

"After our research, we found that the gray crystal core is different from other crystal nuclei. It is like a puzzle piece. These puzzle pieces can be fused with each other! The crystal nuclei above white are a whole, and there is no way to carry out this kind of fusion... …So, 10 gray crystal nuclei can be synthesized into one white crystal nucleus! But this is costly - it consumes electricity. We are working on more energy-saving instruments..."

If the gray crystal core can turn into a white crystal core, it will definitely be no problem if it consumes some electricity.

At present, it seems that the gray crystal core has no effect. And the white crystal core can still be used even if it has no superpowers. For example, providing power to power armor, providing bullets to crystal energy guns...

buzz-

While the two were talking, Qu Shilin plugged in the machine. After a vibration, a white crystal core appeared.

【Fourth order crystal nucleus】

[Quality: Normal (20%)]

【Purity: 35% (Side Effects: None)】

"hiss--"

Wang Tao was a little shocked when he saw that this was indeed a genuine fourth-order white crystal core.

"Doesn't that mean that the gray crystal core is valuable?"

Before Wang Tao left the base, many people in the base had gray crystal cores, but they were not valuable. Many people even made them into some jewelry for fun...

"Yes, the gray crystal core is valuable! Ever since our research institute announced this matter, the value of the gray crystal core has gone up. Oh, by the way, the committee just took this opportunity to reprice the crystal coins. Now. One crystal coin is equivalent to 1 first-order gray crystal cores..."

After Qu Shilin's explanation, Wang Tao understood the current price of crystal cores.

Before he left, due to the emergence of super-powerless crystal cores, the exchange ratio between crystal cores and crystal coins had been changing, making it difficult to stabilize.

Now that gray crystal cores have appeared in large numbers, the committee has intervened, and the exchange ratio between crystal cores and crystal coins has finally been fixed——

1枚一阶灰色晶核等于0.1晶币；1枚一阶白色晶核等于1晶币；1枚一阶蓝色晶核等于2晶币；1枚一阶紫色晶核等于3晶币；1枚一阶红色晶核等于4晶币；1枚一阶橙色晶核等于5晶币。

This is the exchange situation for first-order crystal cores. The situation for second-order and above is——

1枚二阶灰色晶核等于1晶币；1枚二阶白色晶核等于10晶币；1枚二阶蓝色晶核等于20晶币……1枚三阶灰色晶核等于10晶币；1枚三阶白色晶核等于100晶币……1枚四阶灰色晶核等于100晶币；1枚四阶白色晶核等于1000晶币……1枚四阶橙色晶核等于5000晶币！

Of course, the above crystal cores are all without special powers. The value of the crystal cores with superpowers is calculated separately. The lowest price will not be lower than this price, and the highest price is hard to say. For example, the promotion crystal cores are all available in the market. price.

"The bank has purchased a batch of this kind of crystal nucleus synthesizer. However, because there are too many gray crystal nuclei, you have to make an appointment and queue up to synthesize it. Even on the black market, you need 11 or 12 gray crystal nuclei to exchange it. 1 white crystal core of the same level... With this instrument, you can synthesize the crystal core at home! It’s very convenient!”

Qu Shilin explained with a smile.

"black market?"

This was the first time Wang Tao heard this word.

"Have you never been there? The black market is known as a place where you can buy and trade anything... Of course, just listen to this. Many people on the black market are anonymous and there are many scammers... But buy some Gadgets are still okay. Many of my collections were bought from the black market, including the Night Devil Heart. Hehe, I announced the function of the Night Devil Heart on the black market last time, which made many people regret it... "

Qu Shilin saw that Wang Tao had never been to the black market, so she explained to him.

To put it simply, the black market is a mixed market where transactions can be made anonymously, but any transaction in the black market is not protected by the city's laws.

As for whether you can buy good things and make some suitable deals, of course you can, but this is not something that ordinary people can do. Most of it on the black market...is leeks.

"How could City Hall allow a place like this to exist?"

Wang Tao didn't quite understand.

In a way, isn’t this challenging the authority of City Hall?

Qu Shilin immediately came over and whispered in Wang Tao's ear:
  "It is said that the black market is related to several committee members, so I turned a blind eye..."

"..."

Okay, then that makes sense.

Wang Tao was going to go back to the black market to have a look. If there were some good materials or something, he might be able to find them.

Qu Shilin saw that Wang Tao seemed interested and immediately said:

"The black market is not a fixed place. You need to wait for notification when it will open. Only members can wait for notification. And this membership is an invitation system. If you are invited by a higher-level member, your initial level will be higher. The black market every week It’s open in both cities. When it opens next time, I’ll take you there. My level is pretty good..."

"Row."

Wang Tao nodded.

It just so happened that he didn't plan to go out anymore during this period, so he had time to visit this so-called black market.

"Then I'll leave first and won't disturb your rest!"

Qu Shilin couldn't wait to go back to the research institute to study the potions Wang Tao gave him.

After Qu Shilin left, Wang Tao looked at the crystal core in his hand again.

If we only count the non-supernatural crystal nuclei, Wang Tao has more than a hundred fourth-order crystal nuclei of various colors, more than [-] third-order crystal nuclei of various colors, more than a thousand third-order gray crystal nuclei, more than [-] fourth-order gray crystal nuclei, and a , several second-order crystal nuclei...

Based on a rough estimate based on the base's latest exchange rate, it should be about [-] crystal coins. This was a little more money than he had previously estimated, mainly because these gray crystal cores were worth a lot of money.

But when it comes to the gray crystal core, Wang Tao suddenly thought of something.

Since the research institute can develop instruments that can synthesize gray crystal nuclei, can he synthesize gray crystal nuclei?
  Wang Tao immediately looked at his space backpack and found the gray crystal core, and then he discovered... it could really be synthesized!

"..."

Wang Tao had always regarded gray crystal nuclei as rubbish, so he subconsciously ignored his own ability to synthesize crystal nuclei. He threw the crystal nuclei into his space backpack and ignored it...

Now he tried it. Just like instrument synthesis, 10 gray crystal nuclei can be synthesized into one white crystal nucleus of the same level. He happened to be able to synthesize up to 10 crystal nuclei.

It's just that he doesn't consume electricity when he synthesizes it himself, and he can synthesize it in batches, which is much faster than using instruments.

So Wang Tao found the gray crystal nuclei in his space backpack, and with a thought, all the gray crystal nuclei of the same type began to be synthesized.

In the blink of an eye, these crystal nuclei all turned into white, non-supernatural crystal nuclei of the same level.

The gray crystal core looks very unpleasant, but the white crystal core is much more pleasing to the eye.

Then Wang Tao looked at his capital account again. His previous total assets were 30, of which he gave everyone 10 in pocket money, and he kept 20 for himself.

After returning this time, Cheng Yiyi transferred him 25, which was the money he spent to buy the [Strange Poison Sac]. As for the [Strange Snake Beads] share of the money, Wang Tao asked her to exchange it for meteorites, and she would send them over later.

The value of crystal cores and crystal coins is directly bound, and crystal cores are equivalent to cash. The total of his crystal coins and crystal cores is probably over 100 million.

"So, I'm a millionaire now?"

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head. He didn't value crystal coins that much. Moreover, the valuable things in his hands are far beyond what these crystal coins can compare with.

It was already dark at this time, and no one should come here again at this time. So Wang Tao found Jiang Shixue, Lightning and Black Snake. He is ready to test the awakening fruit!
