Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1152 - 469 Advanced Essence_2

Chapter 1152: Chapter 469 Advanced Essence_2

Chapter 1152 -469 Advanced Essence_2

Wang Tao immediately used a portion of “Advanced Tree Essence Liquid”, which was sweet and tasty.

Then Wang Tao saw his HP limit increase to 46,000 and his Mana limit increase to 121,000!

That meant the “Advanced Tree Essence Liquid” could not only be used after exceeding 100,000 HP and Mana, but it also increased the limits of HP and Mana by 1000 each!

What a great item!

Wang Tao continued using it, but after the 11th portion, it stopped having any effect, just like an ordinary essence liquid entering a cooldown period.

However, Wang Tao was quite satisfied, as the ordinary essence liquid could only enhance the HP and Mana limits by 1000 at most, but this advanced version could increase it by 10,000. Most importantly, he was able to use it!

This item should significantly boost the HP of his colleagues at the Starfire Society!

He needed to save more of it!

Suddenly, Wang Tao seemed to think of something as he glanced thoughtfully at Li Qiuyu.

Before awakening, Wang Tao had her fuse with an Essence of Tree Crystal Core, which could produce Tree Essence Liquid. Now that she had awakened, could she produce “Advanced Tree Essence Liquid”? He definitely had to study this once they were back!

Besides the crystal cores and tree essence liquid, these three mutated plants had nothing else of value.

As for the Loot Pack…, since Wang Tao was no longer killing above his level, they only dropped one pack, which contained a Level 4 Power Crystal Core.

“Their crystal cores and this ‘Advanced Tree Essence Liquid’ are good. The crystal cores’ function is… Advanced Tree Essence Liquid boosts strength, and Fourth-order Awakeners can also use it…”

Wang Tao briefly explained to everyone about the crystal cores and essence liquids.

The committee chose Wang Tao as the principal not because of his strength, but for his extensive knowledge. Wang Tao was not selfish; he tended not to hide knowledge in these educational areas.

The students and the teachers lit up upon hearing about the functions of the crystal cores and essence liquids. Especially the essence liquid, it was indeed a valuable item!

Right then, Blacky sent a message to Wang Tao, informing him of numerous mutated plants ahead, consisting of Third or Fourth Order Elites and Lords.

Wang Tao pondered for a moment, then said to the teachers:

“Let’s split up. I will lead a team to scout ahead shortly, and each of you will lead some students to fight these mutated plants. There are plenty of them around here, enough for you to hunt. As per our agreement before departure, 30% of the spoils from this operation need to be turned over to the school for Points, and 70% can be distributed by the lead teachers. You can turn them in for Points, keep them for personal use, or distribute them to the students based on merit… it’s up to you.”

Wang Tao had established several regulations for the Awakeners School, one of which was that both teachers and students had to hand over part of the spoils from collective outings related to the school, with the school taking up to 50% at most, and at the least, none.

Before each activity, the school would negotiate the rules with the teachers in advance; agree to go, stay at home if they disagree, or act on their own.

Of course, the school would not exploit these items for free; all the items turned in could be exchanged for personal Points. Points could be exchanged for various items in the school’s treasury, such as crystal cores, weapon equipment, vehicles, powered armor, potions, a chance to work with a certain teacher, or even personal instruction from Wang Tao.

The items in this treasury were sponsored by City Hall, Hope Research Institute, the Six Major Legions, and other major powers. Wang Tao and some teachers also contributed.

The school conducted a Points assessment periodically involving teachers, students, and other academic staff. If one did not have enough Points, resulting in failure, they could be demoted or even expelled. Those ranking in the top would receive various rewards.

This expedition to explore the cave was the school’s first operation since its establishment, and so Wang Tao planned an additional assessment. Teachers would compete against teachers, and students against students.

This assessment did not matter much if one failed, as there would be no penalties, but the rewards for top rankings would be substantial.

Especially the reward for the first place was enough to make everyone envious—the principal himself would assist the first-place winner in Awakening. If the first-place winner had already awakened, they could transfer this opportunity to someone else.

Since the teachers and students were judged separately, there were two first-place winners.

This direct involvement by the principal made teachers and students alike eager to compete. Points were incredibly crucial for them.

If they all followed behind Wang Tao, they likely wouldn’t get anything; it was better to split up. The team leaders were all Awakeners, which somewhat ensured their safety.

Although safety couldn’t be 100% guaranteed, sometimes luck was part of one’s strength.

“Okay!”

The teachers exchanged glances, all eager to begin.

Though they had already awakened, they were unable to produce a second Awakener by themselves; seizing this opportunity would clearly be very profitable.

Moreover, these teachers couldn’t help but be compared by the students. If they could secure first place, a large number of students would surely follow them, which would be beneficial for them. So, they had to strive for first place!

Then, the teachers began to discuss how to form groups. Their method of assigning students was consistently fifty-fifty—students had to hand over fifty percent of their gains to the teachers, who would then submit thirty percent of it to the school, retaining twenty percent for themselves.

This was not freeload either, as the teachers needed to ensure the safety of these students. If any student died, they would lose points as well.

Of course, if it was just about hunting mutated plants, these students might never manage to benefit, since their highest level was only Level 3, whereas the teachers were all Level 4 Awakeners, and there was a substantial gap in strength.

Thus, there was another option for them, which was to collect ores, rare metals, plant fruits, and such…

“Principal Wang, what about us?”

Seeing the teachers and students forming teams, Pan Jian asked quietly.

Wang Tao had just said he would take Ding Yuqin and others deeper. Since all the students were assigned to teachers, what about them, the staff? Even though they were not part of the assessment, they couldn’t just stand around doing nothing, right? As for following Wang Tao, they didn’t dare to think about it since they were only Level 3 and would only hold Wang Tao back.

“You guys follow the main group and ensure the students’ safety.”

Wang Tao said.

“Uh, well…”

Pan Jian and the other ten or so staff members were stunned.

They were not Awakeners, not even as strong as the students in combat. And they were supposed to take care of the students? It was unclear who would be taking care of whom…

However, when Wang Tao pulled out three Iron Beetles and over ten Level 4 Night Demon Hearts, their eyes widened.

“Can you manage with these things, or is there a problem?”

Since Wang Tao had ascended to Level 5, these Level 4 items were useless to him, and giving them to Pan Jian and the others was just right. An Iron Beetle was equivalent to a Level 4 Awakener, and a Night Demon Type 1 was equivalent to half of a Level 4 Awakener, sufficient to protect the students.

“No problem! We guarantee to complete the task!”

Pan Jian and the others were excited. Not to mention the Night Demon Hearts, whose prices had recently skyrocketed to over a million each! The Iron Beetles were even more priceless, and they had never used them before…

“Good, I appreciate your efforts. Contact me directly if there’s any emergency.”

“Yes!”

…

The space within the rift was vast, and after Blacky’s scouting, a large number of mutated plants were found. Wang Tao chose a spot with numerous mutated plants and started slaughtering his way through.

However, this time he hardly lifted a finger as there was no over-level killing bonus for defeating a Level 4 Lord, so he left those to Ding Yuqin and the others.

At the same time, Wang Tao had each person carry a Level 5 Night Demon Heart.

With such a group charging through, those mutated plants couldn’t defend themselves.

But the number of mutated plants was overwhelming. Even without much effort from Wang Tao, his HP limit had fully recovered to 190,000 HP, and it was the same for everyone else, restoring them to their peak conditions.

As for the loot… A vast amount of Crystal Cores and Essence Liquids made Wang Tao grin from ear to ear.

“There are really too many Lords in this rift…”

Outside, Zombie Lords were rare, but here, Lords were as if they cost nothing, almost every few steps revealed a Mutant Plant Lord…

However, these Mutant Plant Lords were all Level 4, just slightly uninteresting.

Sizzle—

[-220000]

Wang Tao blinked and had just killed another Mutant Plant Lord when Blacky sent another message, informing him of a discovered Level 5 Mutant Plant Lord.

“Level 5, finally here!”
