Chapter 279: The Tusk Long Knife_3
"..."
Okay, Wang Tao was thinking that if he were to fuse with it, he'd be taking a big risk. But now, it seems he wasn't even in a position to consider fusion.
He had a total of four hidden abilities: Body Strengthening, Night Vision, Plant Affinity, and Fire Element.
Among these abilities, Wang Tao initially thought Fire Element was the weakest. However, the reality proved to Wang Tao that Fire Element, once awakened, was incredibly powerful!
As for the other three hidden abilities, they were all very useful to Wang Tao. If it meant taking a risk for one hidden ability, he might be willing to take that risk. But if it also meant losing an existing hidden ability, then it was not worth it.
Wang Tao quickly made a decision, he would not use this Reality Illusion Pearl. It would be better suited for someone else.
And the only other people with comparably high spiritual power... seem to be only Jiang Shixue and He Jijun.
But still, Wang Tao didn't know whether their spiritual power was higher or lower than what the Reality Illusion Pearl required. To let them fuse with it would be far too risky!
In the end, Wang Tao decided to wait and see. He wasn't able to judge the strength of spiritual power at the moment.
Then Wang Tao looked at the other five Loot Packs.
The first Crystal Core Gift Bag contained four Crystal Cores: a red [Level 4 Crystal Core - Ascension], a purple [Level 4 Crystal Core - Omnipotent], a blue [Level 4 Crystal Core - Strength] and another blue [Level 4 Crystal Core - Athlete].
"No Awakening Crystal Core... Such a corpulent body, and yet there's an Athlete?"
The absence of an Awakening Crystal Core disappointed Wang Tao. But he was surprised to find the Athlete among them.
However, the Wild Boar Monster was indeed agile... Could this mean that exercising can't help with weight loss? Is obesity related to genetics?
Wang Tao inwardly complained, then turned his attention to the second Loot Pack.
[Received: Illusion Explosion Fruit x10]
[Illusion Explosion Fruit: When thrown, it explodes silently upon hitting an obstacle, creating a 5-meter radius illusion that lasts for 10 minutes.]
This item seemed interesting, though how effective it was would be the deciding factor. If it could replicate even a part of the effects of the real illusion, that would be quite nice.
After all, apart from Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, and He Jijun, there were many people with weaker spiritual power.
Inside the third Loot Pack were potions, and at last, there were potions that could permanently enhance attributes.
[Received: Mental Potion (Small) x20]
[Received: Defense Potion (small) x20]
[Received: Mental Boosting Potion x20]
[Received: Defense Growth Potion x20]
Wang Tao used both types of growth potions.
Then he thought that, in the future, if he obtained more potions like these, he could share them with others.
The strength added by these potions wasn't calculated by percentage, but by a fixed value. His values were already very high, so the proportional increase for him was not great. The more he used, the less effective they became—this was a marginal effect. At this point, it would be better to give them to others for a better outcome.
The fourth Loot Pack contained Awakening Energy Pearls.
[Received: Awakening Energy Pearl x1]
Satisfied with the pearl, Wang Tao nodded his head in contentment.
The drop rate of both Awakening Crystal Cores and Awakening Energy Beads was low. The Wild Boar Monster didn't drop any Awakening Crystal Cores or Energy Beads itself and the Loot Packs didn't contain any Awakening Crystal Cores either... It was lucky that there was an Energy Bead in the pack, otherwise Wang Tao's luck would have been too dismal.
The last Loot Pack contained Blueprints.
[Received: Wild Boar Leather Top Armor Blueprint x1]
[Received: Boar Tusk Long Knife Blueprint x1]
[Wild Boar Leather Top Armor Blueprint: Can be used to craft a piece of leather armor. Required materials: Level 4 Wild Boar Skin x1, Level 4 Crystal Core x1, Iron Block x30, Steel Wire x30, Screw x30, Rope x30, Nail x30, Rubber x30, Plastic x30]
[Wild Boar Leather Top Armor: Attributes unknown]
[Boar Tusk Long Knife Blueprint: Can be used to craft a long knife. Required materials: Level 4 Wild Boar Fang x1, Level 4 Crystal Core x1, Iron Block x30, Steel Wire x30, Screw x30, Rope x30, Nail x30]
[Boar Tusk Long Knife: Attributes unknown]
There were two blueprints, one for Wild Boar Leather Top Armor and one for a long knife.
The core material for the leather top was Wild Boar Skin, and unfortunately, the piece Wang Tao had contained two weaknesses, which was a bit frustrating. But since it was the only piece of Level 4 Wild Boar Skin he had, he had no choice but to use it for the crafting. The bones he had prepared earlier would not be needed for now.
As for the tusk long knife, Wang Tao wasn't sure of its quality yet, but it only needed a single Wild Boar Fang, which deserved a thumbs-up. He had four fangs on hand and could save three of them.
Wang Tao took out the necessary materials, and two streams of rainbow light flashed by, resulting in two pieces of equipment appearing at the same time.
[Wild Boar Leather Armor Top]
[Fourth-tier (Excellence)]
[Durability +70, Defense +70, Mental Defense +30, Weakness to Fire (increased damage from fire), Weakness to Lightning (increased damage from lightning)]
The Wild Boar Leather Top was a brown piece of armor and had a wild beauty to it. However, it was regrettable that it couldn't inlay Crystal Cores and its Suit Attributes were not immediately apparent. Moreover, with two fatal weaknesses... the value of this equipment was greatly discounted, and Wang Tao even felt it was not suitable for his comrades...
[Boar Tusk Long Knife]

[Fourth-tier (Excellence)]
[Durability +70, Attack Power +70, Comes with a Bleeding effect (requires Awakening Energy)]
The Boar Tusk Long Knife was a metallic long knife with a certain degree of curvature, contrasting sharply with the broad Bone Knife Wang Tao was currently using.
This knife had better attributes and even carried a Bleeding effect. Though it lacked the 5% increase in attack speed, its overall attributes were stronger.
Without any hesitation, this was Wang Tao's new equipment.
