Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1256 - 1256 517 Gene Potion

Chapter 1256: Chapter 517 Gene Potion Chapter 1256: Chapter 517 Gene Potion “!!!”

Seeing the Golden Eagle striding over, Qu Shilin was completely dumbfounded.

Instinctively, she first hid behind Wang Tao and then grabbed his hand, ready to run, but she couldn’t pull him along.

Qu Shilin had just finished her retreat and came looking for Wang Tao. She wasn’t aware of the recent events and naturally didn’t know about the Golden Eagle.

“This is my new companion, don’t worry.”

Wang Tao explained.

“Chirp~”
The Golden Eagle curiously bent down. It felt that Qu Shilin was different from other people; she gave it a similar vibe to Wang Tao – as if it could communicate with her?

Qu Shilin peeked out from behind Wang Tao, staring with wide eyes first at Wang Tao and then at the Golden Eagle. Although still quite confused, her emotions had temporarily stabilized.

“You, it… new companion? Like Little Bing, Little Huo?”

“Yes. It’s called Xiao Jin, a Level 5 Golden Eagle.”

Wang Tao extended his hand, and the Golden Eagle immediately brought its head closer, allowing Wang Tao to touch its beak – it was so large that Wang Tao literally had to jump to reach its head.

“Wow! May I touch it too?”

Qu Shilin was not a timid person. Her previous fear had been a survival instinct. Now convinced that the Golden Eagle was truly Wang Tao’s companion, she stepped out from behind him.

“Of course you can, Xiao Jin has a really good nature.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Qu Shilin carefully reached out and touched the feathers of the Golden Eagle.

“The feathers are so hard, like steel…”

She was clearly fascinated by this enormous creature.

“Isn’t it the same Giant Eagle from before? How did it become your companion?”

Qu Shilin was very curious.

“We could say it was a fight that led to friendship. You can try communicating with it using your spiritual power; it can understand you.”

“What? Spiritual power can be used like that too? I’ll try!”

Qu Shilin had focused all her spiritual power on scientific research and didn’t know it could be used to communicate with mutant beasts.

She immediately deployed her spiritual power and probed forward.

Moments later, a look of delight appeared on Qu Shilin’s face.

“Wow, it really works!”

Her excitement was palpable; she wasn’t just thrilled at the possibility of communicating with the Golden Eagle but also at the discovery of a new application for her spiritual power.

At this time, Wang Tao spoke again:
“You just mentioned, if there are indeed other Ancestral Virus data in the world, how to know where they are, and how to retrieve them – I can now answer that — Xiao Jin could take us to get them! As for the exact locations… I think we could look for other Survivor Bases, perhaps some of them have organizations similar to research institutes, storing Ancestral Virus data…”

“You sound like you’re onto something! So, you mean, we could develop an antidote for the Zombie Virus?”

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with shining eyes.

“It’s hard to say whether we can create it, but the chance is high. Yesterday I went out and found a Survivor Base, and I brought back over a thousand people from there… This proves that, despite the hostile environment, there are still other Survivor Bases out there. So as long as we don’t give up, anything is possible!”

Wang Tao spoke earnestly.

“I wasn’t very confident at first, but now that you’ve mentioned it, I am full of confidence again!” Qu Shilin clenched her fists firmly, then brought her hands together, looking pitifully at Wang Tao, “So, if you ever come across information about Ancestral Virus data, could I ask you to retrieve it?”

“Of course, that’s not a problem.”

Now with Xiao Jin present, long-distance travel was not an issue at all; if they did find information about Ancestral Virus data, Wang Tao would surely go to fetch it without waiting for Qu Shilin to ask.

“You just mentioned your research on two potions, apart from the Zombie Virus antidote, what is this power-enhancing potion?”

Wang Tao suddenly asked.

“Oh right, I’ve completely forgotten to tell you!” Qu Shilin slapped her forehead and then quickly said, “The other power-enhancing potion, I’ve named it ‘Gene Potion’!”

“Gene Potion?”

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, that’s right, Gene Potion. According to my hypothesis, injecting this kind of Gene Potion could directly induce Ascension. For example, a Level 1 Gene Potion could turn an ordinary person into an Ability User; a Level 2 Gene Potion could turn a Level 1 Ability User into a Level 2 Ability User; a Level 3 potion would enable an Ability User to undergo Level 3 Ascension, and so on. Of course, Gene Potions are only for Ability Users’ Ascension; Awakeners cannot use them. After all, the power of Awakeners is too mysterious, and I still have no clue about it…”

Qu Shilin explained immediately.

“That’s kind of amazing!”

Wang Tao was somewhat astonished.

For ordinary people to become Ability Users, it sounds simple – just merge with a Crystal Core successfully. But in reality, unless someone was incredibly lucky to directly obtain an Epic Crystal Core, there were chances of failure. Many Ability Users had to merge with multiple Crystal Cores to be successful.

And for a Level 1 Ability User to ascend to Level Two, it was even more difficult because it involved increasing one’s HP, merging with the appropriate Ability Crystal Cores, and a certain number of Ascension Crystal Cores, before ascending. During this process, one could not gamble with Crystal Cores of low quality, as too many internal impurities could turn one into a zombie before even ascending!

So for ordinary people to become Ability Users, and for Ability Users to ascend, these tasks are extremely challenging!

If the Gene Potion is as powerful as Qu Shilin described, it would imply that this Potion encompasses functions like increasing HP, merging with Ability Crystal Cores, and Ascension Crystal Cores, skipping many steps in the process! In that case, this potion was indeed incredible!
