Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 781 - 307: Flying Zombie_2
Upon hearing Duan Xuchang’s explanation, Wang Tao’s eyebrows instantly raised.
"So the City Hall wants a piece of the Energy Crystal Meteorite action too?"
But he had to admit, it sounded like a good method.
After all, these Energy Crystal Meteorites seemed to be Level 4 and Level 5, and not to mention the Level 5 Crystal Cores, even the Level 4 Crystal Cores were extremely precious at the moment. Wang Tao didn’t have many, and he had to think carefully about trying to open all the Energy Crystal Meteorites he had, let alone others. If someone was willing to share the risk, it was indeed a good idea.
However, Wang Tao didn’t need it. Sharing the risk meant sharing the rewards. Wang Tao had the ability to open them himself, so there was no need. He didn’t care about the risks; if monsters appeared, he was very likely to be able to deal with them.
"Your idea is quite interesting, but I don’t need it,"
Wang Tao shook his head.
Cui Sheng, hearing this, was immediately disappointed.
His task from the City Hall was to hope that Wang Tao would bring out his meteorites for everyone to study together.
If he could handle this well, the leaders would reward him.
But he knew it was a difficult task. After all, Wang Tao was a fourth-order Superpower. Apart from whether or not Wang Tao lacked Crystal Cores, a Fourth-order Ability User like him could earn Level 4 Crystal Cores by hunting Four-level zombies. Such a powerful individual would certainly not be willing to share his possessions with others.
However, Cui Sheng was still somewhat hopeful, and he hurriedly said:
"Mr. Wang, there’s no need to rush your decision. You could think it over, the City Hall will definitely not cheat you! After all, those meteorites require Level 4 Crystal Cores to open, and Level 4 Crystal Cores are too precious now. If no one shares the risk, if there’s a loss… Also, you might not know, but some forces are preparing to cooperate with the City Hall to jointly open the meteorites..."
"Oh? Some have already agreed to cooperate?"
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised.
"Yes! Most people will probably choose to collaborate for shared wins! Of course, how you decide is your own right, but I personally suggest you think it over again..."
Wang Tao actually pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Since so many people are joining, maybe I should also help you share some of the risk?"
"Ah?"
Cui Sheng didn’t immediately understand what he meant, then uncertainly said:
Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy
"You mean, instead of bringing out the meteorites, you’ll contribute Crystal Cores to share the risk with others?"
"Exactly."
Wang Tao smiled and nodded.
This was a new idea he just came up with.
He was curious about what exactly was inside those meteorites. Moreover, he wondered if using Crystal Cores of different qualities would yield significantly different outcomes.
He had originally planned not to open his own meteorites first but let others do so, then find out what they discovered.
But there was one issue—there was no guarantee he would get accurate information. And even if he could get it, it would likely be a version that held something back.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he had discovered something valuable, would he transparently tell others what was inside upon being asked? Most likely not. So if he asked others, he probably would receive a less forthcoming answer.
However, if he were one of the stakeholders, even a minor one, he would be entitled to know what was inside! Then finding out what could come out of those meteorites would be a piece of cake!
Of course, whether this idea was acceptable depended on City Hall’s willingness. Anyway, he thought he’d give it a try. Whether it worked or not, he wouldn’t lose out.

"Mr. Wang, please wait a moment while I report your idea to my superiors!"
"Sure."
Cui Sheng, not daring to delay, quickly reported Wang Tao’s thoughts to his superiors through his information wristband.
A moment later, Cui Sheng returned with a joyful expression.
"Mr. Wang, our leader thinks it’s a pleasure to cooperate with you! If there’s no issue on your part, let’s just verbally agree for now. Later, once we’ve prepared those meteorites, we’ll get in touch with you!"
"Oh? Agreed? Okay, then contact me whenever needed."
Wang Tao was a bit surprised.
He had thought the City Hall wouldn’t agree to let him have a share, but they had unexpectedly consented.
What Wang Tao didn’t know was that the City Hall had acquired quite a number of meteorites this time, and with others’ contributions, even more. However, the number of Level 4 Crystal Cores in the City Hall’s possession was limited. If they were to carry all the risk, their burden would be significant.
But they had to participate because the City Hall’s reasoning was much like Wang Tao’s—they didn’t necessarily have to obtain what was inside the meteorites; their main concern was to find out what was inside to determine its worthiness to be opened!
If they were to rely on others’ word, there was no guarantee of getting the truth. As stakeholders, they would surely know the specific situation.
Under the condition of keeping "City Hall informed", if someone could help share some of the pressure, that wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Cui Sheng left cheerfully, apparently having completed his mission.
Not long after his departure, Duan Xuchang came over.
"Wang Tao, thank you for your help yesterday!"
Although thanks had been offered yesterday, Wang Tao had saved so many people, so repeating his gratitude seemed more than appropriate.
Moreover, Duan Xuchang wasn’t just expressing thanks verbally; he also brought over his share of the spoils to Wang Tao!
