Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 943 - 373 Mysterious Egg (Request for Double Monthly Tickets)_2

Chapter 943 -373 Mysterious Egg (Request for Double Monthly Tickets)_2

“Wow! So many!”

Qu Shilin opened the sack, stared at the multitude of flashlights and flares inside, and especially after she personally tested a flashlight and felt the intensity of the ultraviolet light, she couldn’t hide the joy on her face.

No wonder Wang Tao said it was all thanks to ultraviolet equipment—these things were indeed powerful!

“This should be enough for you to dismantle, right? If it’s not, just come and find me,” Wang Tao said generously as he waved his hand.

“Eh? Is this the equipment you were talking about?”

“Um…”

Wang Tao carefully explained to Qu Shilin the abilities of this equipment.

They didn’t have much use for this retired military gear and keeping it was pointless, so it was better to give some to Qu Shilin for her research.

After all, she had previously been able to create a mechanical body by disassembling Iron Beetles. Now, by giving her these ultraviolet light devices and weapon equipment, if she could figure something out, it would be beneficial for the whole base.

“And this type of equipment… impressive!”

Qu Shilin’s eyes gleamed as she examined the items.

She couldn’t wait to gather her friends and start researching right away.

As for where exactly these ultraviolet devices and equipment came from, she didn’t ask too many questions. The equipment was one thing, as Meteorite could produce it. Maybe the ultraviolet devices were similar. Anyway, it was the apocalypse; anything was possible. And since Wang Tao hadn’t mentioned it, she figured it was probably some serendipitous find…

“Alright, go back and study it later, didn’t you say you wanted to show me your collection?” Wang Tao motioned in front of her once more.

“Oh right, I almost forgot about the main event!”

Qu Shilin quickly put away the equipment and ultraviolet devices, then grabbed Wang Tao’s hand and led him to her bedroom.

The villa was similar to Qu Shilin’s lab—a clean residence, but filled with all sorts of bizarre items. There were many monster specimens like bodies and organs scattered around, creating an eerie sight.

The monster eggs she mentioned appeared to be rocks and were all kept in her bedroom. Indeed, they were quite beautiful with their colorful and green hues.

But after looking them over, Wang Tao saw that they seemed to be just rocks and materials, with no sign of monster eggs—wait!

“Eh? There actually are some?” Wang Tao sounded surprised.

“Ah?”

Hearing Wang Tao’s comment, Qu Shilin suddenly got excited.

She hadn’t held out much hope; she just liked collecting these things and had amassed quite a few. If she didn’t show them to Wang Tao, she would feel a little regretful. And now, seeing Wang Tao’s reaction, could it be he’d really found something?

Wang Tao approached the window in Qu Shilin’s bedroom. On the windowsill, there lay two palm-sized, multi-colored, oval rocks shimmering in the sunlight, and they were exceedingly beautiful.

[Mysterious Egg (Epic Quality): Can hatch into a mysterious creature (Hatching conditions: Consume 100 HP)]

These were indeed two eggs!

Unlike the Snake Eggs from before, these two didn’t show a Level 3 or Level 4 status, but they were labeled as Epic Quality.

Moreover, the hatching condition for a Fourth-order Snake Egg was the consumption of 100,000 HP, while these two only required 100. That was a huge drop in difficulty!

Generally speaking, the more it costs to obtain something, the better the resulting item. So does that mean these eggs were not as valuable as the Fourth-order Snake Eggs? But these eggs were of Epic Quality, something the Fourth-order Snake Eggs did not have… Wang Tao was uncertain about how valuable these mysterious eggs were.

However, judging purely by aesthetics, these two eggs were clearly more captivating; those Fourth-order Snake Eggs looked like dusty rocks which most people would mistake for ordinary stones. In contrast, these two eggs were as attractive as gems.

“This must be a monster’s egg, but I’m not sure what kind, so I call it ‘Mysterious Egg’…”

Wang Tao gave Qu Shilin a brief explanation.

“Wow! There really is one!”

Qu Shilin was overjoyed.

It didn’t matter what kind of creature could be hatched; she was simply happy to have something in her possession.

And she remembered the origin of these two eggs clearly: they were found by someone outside and sold as decorative items at a stall.

The price of decorative items was very low, and even though these two eggs were beautiful, they were merely seen as colorful stones by everyone. Not just stones, even gold had lost its value; no matter how lovely the stone was, it was useless.

So Qu Shilin bought these two eggs for a very low price.

After she bought them, she conducted some research, but even with all sorts of professional equipment, she couldn’t detect anything, just like everyone else. They were just two ordinary stones.

Therefore, Qu Shilin placed the two eggs on the windowsill in her bedroom, and every morning when she woke up, the first light of dawn made the two colorful stones glitter beautifully, which always brightened her mood…

But now, could it be that these two ornaments were actually a steal?

Qu Shilin was excited, and then she picked up one of the eggs and handed it to Wang Tao.

“Since there are two, let’s each take one!”

“Hmm, you’re giving it to me?”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.

Qu Shilin really wanted a monster egg, didn’t she? She finally had two and yet she was giving one to him?

“After all, you helped me find them! If it weren’t for you, I definitely would have missed out, so let’s share the find!”

Qu Shilin said with a smile.

She wasn’t stingy, and she was also willing to build a good relationship with Wang Tao.

“Then I won’t be polite.”

Since the other party had said so, it would appear ungracious if Wang Tao demurred further. He thought about whether he should give Qu Shilin a Snake Egg since it’s only polite to return the favor…

Wang Tao searched the room and the whole villa again to make sure there were no other monster eggs before he and Qu Shilin returned to the living room.

“We can incubate them now, right!”

Qu Shilin couldn’t wait any longer.

“Yes.”

Wang Tao was quite experienced in this area, and he showed Qu Shilin what to do. Soon, Qu Shilin began to feel a faint presence from inside the egg.

“It’s really there!”

Qu Shilin was thrilled. She had tried various methods to study this egg before, but she’d never tried the “use your heart to feel” approach. Essentially, this was about using spiritual power, and like everyone else, she couldn’t project her spiritual power outward but could only sense it by touching the monster egg…

At that moment, Qu Shilin’s HP decreased by 100 points, and a prompt popped up on the colorful egg. Upon seeing the prompt, Wang Tao rubbed his eyes, thinking he’d read it wrong.

[Hatching Countdown: 359 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds (Requires close personal possession)]

A hatching time of 360 hours? 15 days? Wow!

A Snake Egg would hatch in 24 hours, this incubation time is 15 times longer than a Level 4 Snake Egg!

And there was another requirement: it must be carried close to the body. What would happen if it wasn’t carried closely?

Wang Tao didn’t see any severe punishment mentioned for not carrying it close, so he let Qu Shilin try it out.

“So that’s what it means…”

After testing, Wang Tao understood the rule.

Close personal possession meant to keep it as near to oneself as possible, even through clothes. When Qu Shilin walked away from the colorful egg, the hatching countdown stopped. If she left it for more than a minute, the countdown would switch to counting up until it got back to 360 hours and stopped.

In other words, the egg couldn’t hatch without being carried on the person; it had to be kept close. And to hatch it required 15 days… Good grief, this felt like being a mother hen, which also takes around 21 days to hatch eggs…

Wang Tao tested the colorful egg given to him by Qu Shilin and found that it was exactly the same; it also had to be carried for 15 days…

When Wang Tao told Qu Shilin about this exasperating condition, she was actually quite interested. After all, she didn’t go out to fight, so normally, she could just keep the egg in her pocket.

“Let’s see who can hatch theirs first then!”

Qu Shilin confidently looked at Wang Tao.

“Alright.”

Wang Tao shrugged.

After Qu Shilin secured the colorful egg close to her body, she turned to Wang Tao and said:

“By the way, do you want to check out the exchange meeting? It’s pretty close to here.”

“An exchange meeting, huh… Sure.”
