Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1679 - 707: Return to the Beginning of the Apocalypse_2

Chapter 1679: Chapter 707: Return to the Beginning of the Apocalypse_2

As for why I didn’t choose to preserve my memory at that time, there are two possibilities. One is that these options were random, and maybe [Memory Preservation] wasn’t available then. The other possibility is that there were too few points, and after a difficult decision, Wang Tao didn’t choose memory.

Given Wang Tao’s understanding of himself, he thinks the latter is more likely.

The ability to retain memory after time travel is indeed impressive. But the premise is that you are confident you can live a better life on a redo.

Wang Tao estimates that the situation at that time must have been bad, and even if he retained his memory, he wouldn’t have been confident. So it’d be better to choose a powerful hack. At least survival ability is pretty strong, and there’s still a chance to continue using [Time Travel], and remember to preserve memory on the very last use!

Wang Tao definitely thinks he would’ve made such a choice, so in the previous life, he chose [True Vision Eye], and still had some points left. Those points were probably used to choose [Talent: Lucky Star (5 points)], [Tool: Space Backpack (2 points)], and [Tool: Random Memory (1 point)]. The first two, Wang Tao chose again this time, but as for [Random Memory], he’s seen it in the options, but didn’t choose it, as it’s quite useless to him now.

First, [Talent: Lucky Star], it’s a talent that boosts luck.

[Lucky Star: Increases a large amount of Luck Value, and when combined with “Unique” on the same person, additional effects appear]

Wang Tao was lucky in his previous life, like consistently finding high-quality Crystal Cores, succeeding in probability things, discovering good stuff when opening meteorites, and so on, likely because he had [Lucky Star]!

Also, when [Lucky Star] is combined with the “Unique” ability, additional effects appear. Since [True Vision Eye] can only “see the blood bar,” it doesn’t have the ability to drop loot, yet Wang Tao can… so he thinks the additional effect must be “drop loot when killing monsters.”

Then there’s the Space Backpack, which has two abilities but seems like only one can be chosen.

[Space Backpack: 100 slots of space, and when combined with “Unique,” the attributes change]

This Space Backpack initially has only 100 slots, but almost anything except living things can be stored inside. And when combined with [True Vision Eye], it becomes infinite space, but can only store named items.

In the early stage, obviously, the 100 slots are better, to store some real-world weapons and biological resources, truly apocalyptic divine tools. Later on, infinite space is undoubtedly better, given that Wang Tao has too many drops, and there’s no place to put them if it’s not infinite space. Plus, later there’s Treasure Chests where living supplies can be stored and then put in the backpack.

As for now… both abilities work, Wang Tao doesn’t mind. But when he activated it, to his surprise, his Space Backpack split into two parts! One part can store anything with 100 slots, and the other part can only store named items but has infinite space!

“This is great, this is great!”

Wang Tao was delighted. Only kids make choices; he, as an adult, wants them all!

Finally, the [Random Memory] that Wang Tao didn’t choose.

[Random Memory: Create random memories and send them to a person]

Seeing this option, Wang Tao immediately thought of the bishop.

The bishop had said before that because he found a “Future Memory,” he became aware of the apocalypse’s existence and prepared in advance, safely passing through the virus outbreak period, then founded the Dusk Church, developed believers, and worked to save humanity.

The “Future Memory” the bishop found is most likely [Random Memory], and was created by Wang Tao in the previous life!

In the situation of insufficient points, unable to preserve memory, but able to exchange for [Random Memory], Wang Tao feels he definitely would’ve exchanged for it. And then paved the way for his subsequent self!

It turns out, this path was paved correctly!

If not for the bishop, Wang Tao wouldn’t have been able to activate [Time Travel]. But if it weren’t for Wang Tao in the previous life, the bishop wouldn’t have been able to develop so many believers, he might have died during the first virus outbreak.

Ultimately, it’s all the result of Wang Tao’s efforts.

“It still had to be me! Thanks to my previous life’s self!”

Wang Tao feels some nostalgia. Though he’s not sure of the exact situation in the previous life, after all, it was himself, so he won’t hold back.

Wang Tao estimates he probably got 28 points in his previous life, just enough to exchange for [True Vision Eye], [Lucky Star], [Space Backpack], and [Random Memory].

Of course, Wang Tao also wants to figure out what exactly happened in the previous life, and he wants to know, out of the 9 total uses of [Time Travel] available to Time-Space Creatures, apart from the 2 times he personally used it, who used the remaining 7 times. So, Wang Tao exchanged for [Tool: Former Memories].

[Former Memories: After ascending to the Ninth Level, gain all past and present life memories, and understand all uses of “Time Travel”]

Looking at the tool’s introduction, it seems that no matter how many times you relive life, you can obtain all memories and learn about the other 7 uses of [Time Travel]. Wang Tao is very curious about this.

However, the conditions for this tool are extremely demanding, needing Ninth Level strength.

It’s obvious Wang Tao can’t use this tool now, but he believes in himself, having returned to the past with such an advantage, eventually reaching the Ninth Level isn’t impossible!

This time Wang Tao chose the tools, besides [Space Backpack] and [Random Memory], he also picked a set of [Nano Battle Suit]. With his last point left, he pondered deeply and finally chose this defensive gear.

[Nano Battle Suit: Attributes change based on the user’s strength, up to Level 7]

This [Nano Battle Suit] is essentially a growth-type equipment, similar to those talents not yet activated, getting stronger as Wang Tao gets stronger. However, unlike talents that will accompany Wang Tao until Ninth Level without issue, this Nano Battle Suit can only reach up to Level 7, much weaker. You get what you pay for.

After activating [Nano Battle Suit], Wang Tao saw a black obsidian necklace appear slowly on his neck, seemingly ordinary. But with a thought, the obsidian emitted a large number of wriggling black particles, and within moments, Wang Tao was dressed in a black suit with some red stripes and a red cape at the back.

After putting on the Nano Battle Suit, Wang Tao didn’t feel any discomfort, moved around freely, and couldn’t perceive any weight, more comfortable than any equipment he’d worn before.

[Nano Battle Suit]

[Level 1·Epic (Growth)]

[Physical Defense +50, Mental Defense +50, Elemental Defense +50, Durability +500, auto restoration when durability hits zero after some time]

Though this [Nano Battle Suit] is only at Level 1, its attributes are a bit absurdly strong.

Physical, mental, and elemental defenses each increase by 50 points! Just one of these values is about what Wang Tao’s seen on Level 3 gear before, let alone this adds three attributes!

As for its durability, it’s a staggering 500 points! Some Level 6 equipment doesn’t even have this much durability. And most importantly, after durability hits zero, it can auto-restore after some time! Meaning this suit is essentially unbreakable.

“Really impressive!”

Wang Tao moved a bit and was very satisfied with the [Nano Battle Suit]. With this suit, his early survival ability is greatly ensured!

Speaking of survival insurance, it still had to be Wang Tao intentionally choosing [Constitution: Virus Immunity]…
