When planted in the body, it will grant a hidden ability.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Wow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised by the properties of the Magic Seed, Wang Tao was somewhat taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plant it in the ground and it grows a monster? Plant it in the body and it grants a hidden ability?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao’s first reaction was to plant it in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he thought it through carefully; not all hidden abilities are necessarily useful. For example, Han Rui’s arrest-related hidden ability doesn’t seem very useful in an apocalyptic world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s a monster, on the other hand, planting it and then killing it would mean a sure Crystal Core and loot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Wang Tao had one little issue, which was, what does “intermediate” mean? He only knew about Level 1, Level 2, Level 3—never heard of intermediate level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wang Tao was pondering over the word “intermediate”, an explanation popped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Low level: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Intermediate level: Level 4, Level 5, Level 6]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[High level: Level 7, Level 8, Ninth Level]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intermediate refers to Level 4, 5, and 6?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao instantly dismissed the idea of planting it in the ground! Because planting it in the ground would grow a monster of Level 4, 5, or 6!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only managed to kill a Level 3 monster by means of a trick. If he were to plant a Level 4 monster, how would he deal with it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was unlucky and a Level 5 or even Level 6 monster grew, it wouldn’t just be his own bad luck; it would probably be disastrous for all human survivors!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was very likely that a monster grown from this seed would be of the plant type and possibly vulnerable to fire. With proper preparation, there might be a chance to kill it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if the plant isn’t afraid of fire? If zombie blood can extinguish flames, it wouldn’t be surprising for a plant to evolve some fire resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao didn’t need to bet on this probability. He doesn’t mind taking a gamble when the odds are high, but the current situation has such low odds of success that losing the bet could cost him his life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, how exactly does one plant it in their body… Is it like the Crystal Core, by putting it in your mouth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao tried placing the seed in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Crystal Cores, hidden abilities don’t have side effects, so Wang Tao had nothing to worry about even after planting it in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Wang Tao felt the Magic Seed slowly turn into a gas and vanish inside his body… This was similar to merging with a Fusion Crystal Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao quickly checked his attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a new status below his HP bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Magic Seed Germination Countdown: 9 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It takes ten days to germinate…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was much longer than Wang Tao had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t a big issue, it didn’t interfere with anything, he just had to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope it grants a decent hidden ability…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao currently had two hidden abilities, one for Body Strengthening and the other for Night Vision. Both were quite decent abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed that the ability from this seed would be plant-related. As long as it isn’t totally useless, it would be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao suddenly realized, the reason that Level 3 Lord Monster was hiding here might have been to protect this seed, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Tao hadn’t discovered the cave and the Level 3 monster had planted the seed, producing an Intermediate monster, it could have been a serious problem for the human survivors…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tao thought his own level advancement was relatively fast, but he was still at Level 2. He didn’t know if there were any Level 3 humans in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the seed grew, at the very least, it would become a Level 4 monster! It could even be Level 5 or Level 6! If humans encountered it or it made its way to human territory on its own, it would truly be a massacre!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, Wang Tao might have nipped a disaster in the bud…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wang Tao wasn’t someone who was particularly altruistic, the thought that his actions could inadvertently save many of his fellow humans made him quite happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smiling, he shook his head and looked toward the last piece of loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last piece was the Loot Pack dropped from killing the Level 3 Lord Monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were four packs in total!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first pack was a Crystal Core Gift Bag, containing 5 Crystal Cores!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3 Crystal Core – Omnipotent]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Excellent (60%)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Purity: 40% (No side effects)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first Crystal Core was Omnipotent, which was also something Wang Tao was familiar with and one of his favorites. However, this one was unique as it was a Level 3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3 Crystal Core – Ascension]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Outstanding (80%)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Purity: 40% (No side effects)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second Crystal Core was for Ascension, and Wang Tao was pleasantly surprised to see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already obtained a Level 3 Ascension Crystal Core after killing that Level 3 Night Demon, and it was also of outstanding quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured that upgrading to Level 3 was probably the same as upgrading to Level Two, needing four Ascension Crystal Cores. Now he had already gathered two!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was somewhat exciting for Wang Tao, as it was much faster and simpler compared to when he collected Level 2 Ascension Crystal Cores. After all, both the Level 3 zombies and monsters had been taken down by his stratagems…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 3 Crystal Core – Self-Healing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Quality: Excellent (40%)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Purity: 40% (Side effect: Diminished tactile sensitivity)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third Crystal Core gave Self-healing power, which was a very decent ability, but since Wang Tao had merged his Self-healing Ability with his Toughness Ability, he no longer had use for this Self-healing Ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-05-30T17:46:49.694Z","2026-06-01T04:31:48.558Z",1,"novelbin.me","d1edc8842e404c238927b99fd771ea1126c75caa0aa1c53e1dc00c97d86f4673","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-385","apocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-chapter-383",1888,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-can-see-the-hp-bar-killing-monsters-cover.jpg"]
