Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

At the end of the journal, there was also a voice message from Gu Yun to Wang Tao.

"Mr. Wang, I'm very sorry. I intended to continue to invite you to join the meteorite opening event, but due to some irresistible factors... However, I understand that what you mainly want to know is the data related to the opening of these meteorites, so I've sent you some of the data, hoping it could be of help to you."

One could hear the helplessness in Gu Yun's voice.

As the Secretary-General of the City Hall, the irresistible factors he mentioned were either the mayor or the committee. There basically couldn't be a third possibility.

However, Wang Tao didn't fret over such matters, since he wasn't aiming to gain a share of the profit. He simply wanted to know what was inside these meteorites, whether high-quality meteorites could produce good items, and if the quality of the Crystal Cores would affect the value of the items inside...

Therefore, the work journal that Gu Yun sent over was still very important to Wang Tao. It could save him a great deal of time.

"Thanks!"

Wang Tao didn't say much, but he made a mental note of the favor. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire

Gu Yun didn't reply, probably because he was busy. After all, the City Hall had a lot of meteorites to open, which would keep them occupied for a while.

So, Wang Tao said to Cui Sheng, who was beside him:

"Let's go, let's head inside."

"Got it!"

Cui Sheng led Wang Tao and his group into the villa.

The villa area, known as Autumn Water Pavilion, contained several villas all belonging to Wang Tao and his group, with his own being No. 6.

The villa was fully furnished with all sorts of household items, without any overly fancy decorations—all focused on practicality.

After giving Wang Tao a detailed introduction of the villa's interior and exterior, Cui Sheng handed a document to Wang Tao.

"Mr. Wang, please sign here."

Wang Tao glanced over the document and, seeing no issues, briskly signed his name.

"If you don't have any other instructions, I will take my leave. If you're thinking of hiring some servants, you can visit the talent market. Of course, I can also handle that for you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao wasn't surprised.

Changhe Base was vast with many residents; not everyone could go out to kill zombies and earn Crystal Cores. Most were ordinary people, and the base obviously couldn't support these ordinary people for free; they had to work too. Serving as domestic workers was clearly one type of job.

"Alright, I'll get in touch with you if needed," Wang Tao nodded.

The villa was quite large, but there were also many of them, so it didn't feel empty. They didn't need servants for now, but he would consider it for the future.

"Very well, Mr. Wang."

Cui Sheng hesitated, seemingly wanting to ask Wang Tao something else. He wanted to inquire whether Wang Tao had any intentions of taking a position at the City Hall. They were actively recruiting and offered very generous benefits to Ability Users. However, considering that Wang Tao had just moved in and might be busy, Cui Sheng decided not to push further and planned to ask next time.

After Cui Sheng left, Wang Tao said to everyone:

"Go settle in, and I'll study this journal."

"Alright!"

Wang Tao carefully reviewed the work journal Gu Yun had sent him.

It had to be said, the people at the City Hall were really efficient. They had opened dozens of meteorites in one morning.

However, this efficiency came at a cost: the items they obtained were much inferior to those from yesterday, leaving Wang Tao to wonder if it was just his own good luck.

Of course, some meteorite records had been deleted, clearly indicating that some items required confidentiality.

But there weren't many of these deleted meteorite entries, so probably no items like the Iron Beetle had been obtained.

After reading through the entire journal and combining it with yesterday's experience, Wang Tao roughly deduced some patterns about these meteorites—

Generally, the larger the volume of the meteorite, the larger the items inside, excluding monsters and Crystal Cores; the quality of the Crystal Core used in opening the meteorite could somewhat influence the quality of the items inside; there was a certain correlation between the meteorite's own quality and the quality of items inside.

The more Crystal Cores used to open a meteorite, the higher the probability of obtaining good items...

Of course, these rules weren't absolute and luck might play a major role.

With good luck, two Ordinary Crystal Cores might release a Red Ascension Crystal Core. With bad luck, ten Epic Crystal Cores could only produce a worthless Self-Destruct Crystal Core... Although these probabilities were small, they had happened.

These conclusions were quite similar to what Wang Tao had previously speculated.

The summary was: The higher the meteorite's intrinsic quality and the higher the quality of the Crystal Cores used, the greater the chances of obtaining good items!

Therefore, Wang Tao was considering whether to use Epic Crystal Cores to open his five Level 4 meteorites. Despite the significantly higher cost of Epic Crystal Cores, it would all be worth it if he could obtain something as good as an Iron Beetle.

"I'll check the prices of Level 4 Crystal Cores later. If they're reasonable, it might not be a bad idea..." Wang Tao murmured, stroking his chin.

By the time Wang Tao finished studying the journal, the others had also finished tidying up the villa. To his surprise, most of the women had chosen not to live with him in the same villa.

Only Ding Yuqin and Han Rui decided to stay, while the other women planned to live in their own respective villas.

"Are you really not going to live with me?" Wang Tao asked with raised eyebrows.

Lan Yulian and the other women rolled their eyes at Wang Tao.

It wasn't that they didn't want to live with Wang Tao, but the situation was somewhat awkward with several women together. They preferred to live in their own houses, occasionally staying at Wang Tao's place or even inviting him to stay at theirs.
