Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot
Chapter 1390 - 575: Ascension to Level 6_2

Chapter 1390: Chapter 575: Ascension to Level 6_2

Wang Tao currently knows that, besides Blood Beads, the only other thing that can increase the limit of his HP are Advanced Blood Beads. Naturally, Advanced Blood Beads are much better, with one bead able to increase hundreds of thousands of HP. However, Advanced Blood Beads are dropped by Sixth Rank Disaster Class creatures, and might not even drop at all, as was the case with the Dark Beast.

Therefore, Wang Tao’s goal is Ordinary Blood Beads, which are dropped by Giant Zombies. With Wang Tao’s current strength, unless the Giant Zombie is Seventh Level, he is not afraid.

However, there is a problem now. With the arrival of the snow, the frequency of Giant Zombies appearing has also significantly decreased.

Before the heavy snow, one could easily encounter Giant Zombies during a stroll, and they were all afraid that the Giant Zombies would discover the Changhe Base, always avoiding them. But after the snow, it seems like the Giant Zombies have disappeared. It is unknown whether they have died or gone into hibernation...

"Giant Zombies, huh... It feels like these Giant Zombies have all vanished, can we still find them?"

Ding Yuqin frowned.

She never doubted whether Wang Tao could kill a Giant Zombie; she just felt that he might not even encounter one...

"It’s hard to say, but we must try it out. Raising my Life Energy to the limit might be one of the conditions for Ascending to Seventh Level, and it is indispensable. Those zombie monsters are constantly evolving; I can’t just sit and wait..."

As Wang Tao spoke, he thought of a place—Wuyang City urban area!

He had passed through there before, and before he left, there were still several Giant Zombies in Wuyang City urban area!

Now, equipped with the Golden Eagle, flying to Wuyang City wouldn’t be a problem, and he might be able to find clues of the Giant Zombies.

"Are you going alone, or are we going together?"

Wei Zhenguo spoke up at that moment.

He naturally wanted to go with Wang Tao to check it out, but considering that Wang Tao had now Ascended to Level 6, widening the gap in their strength even more, his presence might be a hindrance...

Wang Tao thought for a moment and said:

"This time I’ll only bring the Golden Eagle and Lightning, because I’m not sure whether the Giant Zombies in that area have left. If the Giant Zombies are gone, I might spend some time looking for them. If you come with me, it would be a waste of time."

He wasn’t dismissing their combat abilities; they as Level 5 Awakeners were quite capable. They had a significant role when teaming up with Wang Tao.

But as Wang Tao just said, his next focus is on finding Giant Zombies, while Wei Zhenguo and others’ main task now is to go out to hunt monsters, enhance their strength, and strive to Ascend to Level 6 quickly.

Thus, for efficiency, it’s better for them to operate separately.

Moreover, Wang Tao gave them six Mutant Wild Geese, whose combat capabilities might not be great, but their Flying Ability was decent enough for transportation.

"Okay! Your decision is fine."

Everyone could understand.

After talking for a while longer, Wang Tao took them outside the base to test his combat abilities after Ascending to Level 6.

The group rode the Golden Eagle and left the Changhe Base, casually picking a pleasing spot outside the base to land.

They couldn’t find suitable enemies immediately, so Wei Zhenguo and the others accompanied Wang Tao in his testing. Although there was a gap in strength, Wang Tao didn’t need the testing to be too precise, he just needed a general idea.

It wasn’t until it got dark that Wang Tao finished his testing.

The test results showed that his current strength had greatly improved compared to when he was Level 5! This increase was greater than when he Ascended from Level 4 to Level 5.

The results made everyone very happy, but there wasn’t much joy on Wang Tao’s face.

Because the more familiar he became with his current strength, the deeper his understanding of the Seventh Level aura he had sensed previously at the Summoning Altar—the gap between Level 6 and Level 7 was very large! Much larger than the gap between a Level 3 ability user and a Fourth-order Awakener!

When Wang Tao was at Level 3, he was able to defeat Fourth-order Awakeners using some methods, but now after Ascending to Level 6, he still had no confidence in defeating Seventh Level creatures.

Previously when he was Level 5, he felt very powerless against Seventh Level creatures, and he thought that maybe he would have a chance to defeat higher-level creatures once he reached Level 6. But now, Wang Tao felt that he might have been too optimistic; after reaching Level 6, he realized that the Seventh Level was even stronger than he imagined...

However, seeing everyone’s happy faces, Wang Tao didn’t mention these disheartening thoughts. Now he was the strongest member of the Changhe Base, the leader of the group. He had to show confidence and not make others worry.

And he hadn’t reached the pinnacle of Level 6 yet, there was still a lot of room for improvement, so there was no need to be too pessimistic.

After returning to the base, Wang Tao planned to rest well for the night, and set off for Wuyang City the next day.

If he was lucky, he might return in two or three days. If not, it was uncertain when he would return. Of course, Wang Tao wouldn’t be reckless. If he truly couldn’t find any Giant Zombies, he would consider a long-term plan.

At night, Ding Yuqin and Han Rui stealthily entered Wang Tao’s room.

Wang Tao was set to travel far again, and they felt reluctant to part with him, thus they decided to spend the night with him.

Among these women, Ding Yuqin and Han Rui had the best relationship. Furthermore, occasionally, Wang Tao would ask them to play games together, so they were quite familiar with this, and decided to come over together.

But as they quietly entered Wang Tao’s room, they unexpectedly discovered two other figures.

Seeing Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng, who had arrived before them, both Ding Yuqin and Han Rui’s faces flushed with embarrassment. Obviously, they weren’t the only ones with this idea.

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were also quite embarrassed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"..."

Ding Yuqin, who was very shy, was about to pull Han Rui and leave with flushed cheeks. Han Rui also felt regretful, thinking that if she had used her Perception Ability to check beforehand, it wouldn’t have been so awkward.

Just then, Wang Tao, lying in the distance on his bed, spoke up.

"Since you’re all here, don’t go!"

Whether it was after Ascension or Awakening, Wang Tao’s physical and mental energies were incredibly vibrant. Although he had consumed some of it testing his strength outside earlier, with his current physical condition, under normal circumstances, his strength and energy were inexhaustible.

Now was a perfect time to play some fun games with them and use up the excess energy.

If there were only one or two people, they might not pose a challenge for Wang Tao, but this time, coincidently four had come, so the night might involve an exhilarating battle.

...

The next morning, Wang Tao woke up feeling refreshed.

Then, he gently kissed the foreheads of the four enticing figures on the bed.

Now, Wang Tao’s physique was significantly different from that of Ding Yuqin and the others. Playing games at night, he seemed like a giant among dwarfs, which brought a unique flavor...

Under the curious eyes of Jiang Shixue and others, Wang Tao had a quick breakfast and then said goodbye to everyone. Before leaving, he made another trip to the City Hall.

"Are you heading to Wuyang City? That’s quite far..."

Hearing Wang Tao’s next plan, Gu Yun was a bit surprised.

However, he didn’t ask what Wang Tao was going to do there, he just looked at Wang Tao’s noticeably larger physique and said uncertainly:

"Could it be that you’ve ascended to Level 6?"

Generally, System Awakeners increase in size after Ascension. Some non-System Awakeners with strong physical qualities also grow in size upon Ascension, but they are rare.

Gu Yun didn’t know that Wang Tao had also experienced a System Awakening; he merely regarded Wang Tao as someone with formidable physical qualities. Thus, he thought that Wang Tao’s sudden larger stature might indicate an Ascension to Level 6.

Although Level 6 was still far away for them, this was Wang Tao after all, where anything was possible.

"Yeah, I luckily reached Level 6."

Wang Tao didn’t want to spread the word about his Level 6 status everywhere, as with his current power and position, he feared countless people would come bearing gifts, and Wang Tao didn’t have the time to waste on that. However, if someone asked, Wang Tao didn’t deliberately conceal it, since everyone was close.

"Hiss!"

Although Gu Yun had anticipated it, hearing Wang Tao admit it still left him quite shocked.

In the entire Changhe Base, there weren’t many Fifth Order Awakeners, yet Wang Tao had already reached Level 6... Truly deserving as the strongest in the Changhe Base, always ahead of everyone!

"Take care then!"

Gu Yun didn’t say much, after all, he didn’t have the means to offer advice to Wang Tao.

"Yeah, I will."

Wang Tao nodded, then summoned the Golden Eagle and left Changhe Base.
