Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 871 - 340 Millionaire_3

A Level 1 Gray Crystal Core is equal to 0.1 Crystal Coin; a Level 1 White Crystal Core is equal to 1 Crystal Coin; a Level 1 Blue Crystal Core is equal to 2 Crystal Coins; a Level 1 Purple Crystal Core is equal to 3 Crystal Coins; a Level 1 Red Crystal Core is equal to 4 Crystal Coins; and a Level 1 Orange Crystal Core is equal to 5 Crystal Coins.

This is the exchange rate for Level 1 Crystal Cores, and for higher levels, it’s—

A Level 2 Gray Crystal Core is equal to 1 Crystal Coin; a Level 2 White Crystal Core is equal to 10 Crystal Coins; a Level 2 Blue Crystal Core is equal to 20 Crystal Coins... A Level 3 Gray Crystal Core is equal to 10 Crystal Coins; a Level 3 White Crystal Core is equal to 100 Crystal Coins...

A Level 4 Gray Crystal Core is equal to 100 Crystal Coins; a Level 4 White Crystal Core is equal to 1000 Crystal Coins... and a Level 4 Orange Crystal Core is equal to 5000 Crystal Coins!

Of course, all the above Crystal Cores are No Ability Crystal Cores. The value of Crystal Cores with abilities is calculated differently, not going below this price at minimum, and potentially far exceeding it at maximum, such as Ascension crystal cores, which are priceless.

"This kind of Crystal Core Synthesizer has already been purchased by the banks. However, due to the abundance of Gray Crystal Cores, one needs to make an appointment and queue up for synthesizing. Even on the black market, it takes 11 or 12 Gray Crystal Cores to exchange for one same-tier White Crystal Core... With this device, you can synthesize Crystal Cores at home! It’s very convenient!"

Qu Shilin explained with a smile.

"Black market?"

It was the first time Wang Tao heard this term.

"You haven’t been there? The black market claims to be a place where you can buy and trade anything... of course, just take it with a grain of salt. Many people on the black market are anonymous, and there are lots of scammers... but it’s okay to buy some little trinkets, many of my collectibles were bought from the black market, including the previous Night Demon Heart.

Hehe, last time I announced the use of the Night Demon Heart on the black market and made a lot of people regret their decisions..."

Seeing that Wang Tao had never been to the black market, Qu Shilin explained it to him.

Simply put, the black market is a chaotic marketplace where one can trade anonymously, but any trade within it is not protected by the city’s laws.

As to whether one can acquire quality items or make suitable trades, that’s certainly possible, but it’s not something an average person can manage. Most are just easy targets in the black market.

"City Hall actually allows such a place to exist?"

Wang Tao didn’t quite understand.

In a way, wasn’t this challenging the authority of City Hall?

Qu Shilin immediately leaned in and whispered in Wang Tao’s ear:

"It’s said that the black market is related to several committee members, so they turn a blind eye... "

"..."

Well, that made sense.

Wang Tao planned to check out the black market later, in case there were good materials to be found or a chance to get a great deal.

Seeing Wang Tao’s interest, Qu Shilin immediately said:

"The black market isn’t a fixed place, you have to wait for notification of when it opens, and only members receive notifications. Membership is by invitation, and being invited by higher-level members can give you a higher initial level. The black market opens weekly; next time it opens, I’ll take you there, as my level is pretty good..."

"Okay,"

Wang Tao nodded.

He wasn’t planning on going out soon anyway, so he had time to visit this so-called black market.

"Then I’ll go first, I won’t disturb your rest!"

Qu Shilin was eager to head back to the research institute to study the Potions that Wang Tao had given him.

After Qu Shilin left, Wang Tao took another look at the Crystal Cores he had.

Just counting the No Ability Crystal Cores, Wang Tao had over a hundred assorted Level 4 Crystal Cores, more than three hundred assorted Level 3 Crystal Cores, over a thousand Level 3 Gray Crystal Cores, over six hundred Level 4 Gray Crystal Cores, and various Level 1 and Level 2 Crystal Cores...

Based on the base’s latest exchange rate, he should have around six hundred thousand Crystal Coins. That was a bit more than he had previously estimated, mainly because those Gray Crystal Cores were also worth quite a bit.

However, speaking of Gray Crystal Cores, Wang Tao suddenly remembered something.

Since the research institute could invent a device that synthesizes Gray Crystal Cores, could he synthesize Gray Crystal Cores, too?

Wang Tao immediately looked at his Space Backpack, found a Gray Crystal Core, and discovered... he really could synthesize!

"..."

Wang Tao had always considered Gray Crystal Cores to be junk, so he subconsciously ignored his own ability to synthesize them, throwing them into his Space Backpack without a second thought...

Now that he tried it, just like with the device, 10 Gray Crystal Cores could be synthesized into one of the same-tier White Crystal Cores, and he could synthesize up to 10 at once.

Moreover, his own synthesizing process didn’t consume electricity, and he could synthesize in bulk, which was much faster than using the device.

So Wang Tao took out all the Gray Crystal Cores from his Space Backpack, and with a thought, all of the same type of Gray Crystal Cores began to synthesize.

In the blink of an eye, all these Crystal Cores turned into the same-tier White No Ability Crystal Cores.

Gray Crystal Cores were quite an eyesore, but the White Crystal Cores were much more pleasing to the eye.

Then Wang Tao checked his financial account again. He had total assets of three hundred thousand, of which he had given one hundred thousand as pocket money to various people and kept two hundred thousand for himself as a reserve.

After coming back this time, Cheng Yiyi transferred twenty-five thousand to him, which was the money for the [Strange Poison Sac] she had previously bought. As for the money from the [Strange Snake Orb], Wang Tao had her exchange it all for Meteorite, which she would deliver later.

Since the value of Crystal Cores and Crystal Coins was directly linked and Crystal Cores were akin to cash, adding together his Crystal Coins and Crystal Cores, he had roughly over a million.

"So, am I now considered a millionaire?"

Wang Tao laughed and shook his head. As for Crystal Coins, he wasn’t that concerned. Besides, the valuables he had were far beyond the value of these Crystal Coins.

It was already dark, and it was unlikely that anyone would come by at this hour. So Wang Tao called for Jiang Shixue, Lightning, and the Black Snakes. He was ready to test the Awakening Fruit!
