“Can I take all of these?”
Qiu Yaokang frowned.
“No, you can only use it here.”
“That’s great! If it’s not enough, can I still ask you for more?”
Fang Heng was delighted and continued to inquire, “In exchange, I can help you get more evolution crystal fragments in the future. For research, it would be good to have more of such things, right?”
Qiu Yaokang’s frown deepened. He felt that Fang Heng was not following the usual pattern.
“Sure, but the preparation of the potion will take some time, about two to three days.”
“Deal!”
Fang Heng was very satisfied with the deal. He immediately took out 200 evolution crystal fragments from his backpack and piled them on an empty experiment table.
Qiu Yaokang was surprised again.
How many zombies did he kill to get so many evolution crystal fragments?
“You can count them. There are 200 fragments in total.”
Fang Heng said and took the box from Qiu Yaokang.
The evolution crystal fragments were time-sensitive. They could be sold for some money at this stage, but they would become very cheap when the players reached higher levels.
Fang Heng knew very well that he had received the first wave of benefits from the game!
Currently, the players in the game had yet to reach a higher level. They were still unable to trigger Qiu Yaokang’s mission, nor did they have the ability to farm zombies in large numbers to earn evolution crystal fragments.
However, he had already reached Level 9. There was no need for evolution crystal fragments at all.
[Hint: You have given Qiu Yaokang 200 crystal fragments. You have received a modified zombie strength enhanced gene potion*6, a modified zombie physique enhanced gene potion*7 and a modified zombie agility enhanced gene potion*7.]
[Hint: Your friendship with Qiu Yaokang has improved slightly.]
After completing such a huge transaction, the friendship between them had only improved slightly.
What an aloof guy.
Fang Heng was in a good mood. He didn’t care about Qiu Yaokang’s indifference.
He took out a bottle of strength enhanced gene potion from the box and opened the cap.
Qiu Yaokang finished counting the number of evolution crystal fragments he had obtained from the transaction with Fang Heng. When he turned around and saw Fang Heng starting to take the potion again, he couldn’t help but remind him.
“Let me remind you again. There is a flaw in this potion. It can not be used in large quantities.”
“I know. I have a way to solve this flaw.”
Fang Heng chuckled. With a flip of his wrist, he took out more than ten evolution crystal fragments and held them in his hand.
“Bang!”
With a slight force from his hand, the crystal fragments exploded at the same time and dispersed into a ball of red mist.
The mist was instantly absorbed by Fang Heng.
[Hint: You have consumed 13 evolution crystal fragments. Your negative state, “Gene Chaos”, has been eliminated.]
Fang Heng waved his arm at Qiu Yaokang.
“Hehe, how is it?”
Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes as he was taken aback by this.
He saw the greenish-grey colour on the back of Fang Heng’s hand quickly disappear.
The evolution crystal had this ability?
Qiu Yaokang found a new research agenda. His expression quickly returned to indifference. He nodded and said, “Not bad.”
Fang Heng continuously crushed the crystal fragments with one hand and opened the bottle he had exchanged for with the other hand. He drank tons of it.
[Hint: You have consumed the modified zombie strength enhanced gene potion*6, the modified zombie physique enhanced gene potion*7, the modified zombie agility enhanced gene potion*7.]
[Hint: Your basic strength attribute +3, your basic physique attribute +4 and your basic agility attribute +3.]
[Hint: Your ‘gene instability’ status has been increased to 55%.]
After consuming 20 bottles of the potion, the evolution crystal fragments in Fang Heng’s backpack had been completely consumed.
Fang Heng opened his character’s attributes to check.
Player: Fang Heng
Level: 9
HP: 158/158
Vitality: 100/100
Spirit: 100/100
Energy: 83/100
Strength: 10.8
Agility: 9.8
Physique: 10.8
Will: 5
Perception: 15
Intelligence: 5
Fang Heng tried to wave his arms, his fists clenching so tightly that they creaked.
In an instant, his basic attributes increased by 4 points. He could feel the increase in his strength.
Fang Heng even felt he could kill a cow with a single punch!
This effect was much more obvious than when he had just learned the strength training skill.
After all, the skill book at Level 1 only increased attributes by 0.2 points.
Fang Heng checked again. Each potion was still 1 to 2 points away from the maximum of 5 points.
“I still need 20 more potions.”
“Come back in three days according to the agreement, by then I will need more evolution crystal fragments.”
Qiu Yaokang nodded solemnly and with a cold expression, ordered Fang Heng to leave.
“Okay, your mission is completed. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”
Hey…
“I just wanted to ask for more potions. You won’t get angry over such a small matter, right?”
Fang Heng muttered to himself while he waved his hand and said goodbye to Qiu Yaokang.
“I’ll come back in three days.”
After seeing Fang Heng off, Qiu Yaokang locked the iron gate at the entrance of the basement.
His cold expression was wiped off from his face and he suddenly became extremely animated and thrilled to the extent that his body couldn’t help but tremble due to his excitement.
“Great discovery!!!”
“Evolution crystal fragments!”
“Improved body attributes!”
“Eliminated the negative effects of the potions!!!”
…
In the afternoon, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi had finished distributing the ores.
They sat in front of the ‘small hills’ of ores and looked at the zombies coming and going.
Lu Yu said, “I counted them. There are 45 zombies in total.”
Zhou Yi shook his head and corrected him, “But you counted wrong. It should be 43.”
“Um…”
Lu Yu pondered for a moment.
“I majored in Mathematics.”
“So what? Do you think I counted wrong?”
“No, boss. I think you’re right. I counted wrong.”
“Sigh, it’s a pity that these zombies are a little stupid. Otherwise, they would be really powerful. After all, in the middle of the game, ordinary zombies are no longer a big threat. The enemy can target these zombies and kill them all.”
“Even so, they are still very powerful. They are strong labourers and they don’t even need to consume their vitality points. They can make a lot of money by constantly mining.”
“That’s true. The talent of God is ridiculous. With them around, God can still make money by lying down.”
From a distance, they saw a small truck coming from the road.
The truck stopped by the roadside.
The door opened.
Seeing Fang Heng get off the truck, their expressions became strange again.
He was still riding a motorcycle when he went out in the morning and it had turned into a truck when he came back?
Lu Yu felt that this truck looked familiar.
Eh? Wasn’t it the one in the apocalypse merchant camp?
“God, did you steal the truck from the apocalypse merchant?”
“I borrowed it.”
“Oh.” Lu Yu nodded and asked in a serious tone, “Do you need to return it?”
“Eh…”
Fang Heng was tongue-tied for a moment.
If he didn’t return it, it would probably be survival points deducted from the deposit, plus being hunted down by all the apocalypse merchants and their companions.
“I think it’s better to return it.”
“Haha.” Lu Yu laughed and said, “That’s right. After all, we are living in a harmonious society. It would be inappropriate to be stealing and robbing from others, right?”
Fang Heng ordered the zombie clones to stop mining and move the coal into the truck..
