This thing could be eaten.
Speaking of which, the fact that the Stat Stone could be eaten was something that was figured out by total accident in his last life.
A soldier fought using a weapon with a Stat Stone. As it was too intense, the weapon was destroyed and the stone shattered, dropping onto the battlefield.
A survivor who was about to starve to death couldn’t find any food and it treated the small shattered Stat Stone as food. Who knew that he would actually survive and his body changed?
He became much stronger.
The stat he got was based on what stats the Stat Stone he ate had.
This news slowly spread to the world. Not only could the Stat Stone raise weapon stats, but after eating it, it allowed the human to have abilities related to the stone itself.
In the last life, this finding shocked the world. The prices were stable in the beginning and only smiths used it. But now its prices soared. Until Ye Zhongming’s rebirth, the price had reached an unbelievable level, even a six star expert like Ye Zhongming couldn’t afford it.
But now, the other use of this stone had not been found. If things proceeded as planned, it would be useless for another 4-5 years and people wouldn’t know the true value of it.
Ye Zhongming felt more excited the more he thought about it. He felt like this was a chance for him. He could make use of this opportunity to stock up on Stat Stones.
Of course, that was just an idea. After all, even before people found out about its use, the price of a Stat Stone wasn’t too low and there weren’t many of them. Although the wheels dropped but the chance of bumping into one was low. Whether or not they could get one depended on luck.
The stat stone was really strong but it was restrictive and it depended on evolution.
After this body-strengthening effect was found, people started to study the stone. Survivors then found that the Stat Stones had different levels which had to do with the gachapons that you got them from.
This meant that all gachapon wheels dropped Stat Stones, the difference was that the level one wheel dropped a level one stone and the level nine one dropped a level nine stone with level nine stats.
The stones were useful for all humans but definitely, it was the most useful for normal people as they hadn’t evolved yet and all their stats were relatively low. Once one aspect was increased, it would be very apparent. As for their use on evolved, survivors realised that the effect was based on a negative one theorem.
The level of the stat stone deducting the current evolved’s star level, if it is not negative then the stat stone would be useful and the bigger the number, the bigger the effect of the stone.
For example, if a level one evolved ate the stone from a level one wheel, the result would be zero so the stone would still be useful. If a level two evolved ate it, the stone would not have an effect. Another example would be that if a level one evolved ate a stone from a level two wheel, the outcome is positive one so the effect he got would be much better than if he ate a level one stat stone.
This theory wasn’t too difficult to understand and it was relevant in many other areas just that it was most apparent to describe the effect of the stat stone.
But although it was like that in theory, for example, if a level one evolved ate a level nine stone he would have the largest effect, but it was not like that in truth as it affected the balance of their body.
Think about it, if a one star evolved had the strength of a nine star evolved on one aspect, for example, getting a nine star evolved’s strength, could he really use it? The toughness of his bone, firmness of his skin, and reaction of his brain would not be able to keep up. If he had that kind of strength, there would only be one outcome– Death.
So normally speaking, people won’t eat a stat stone that was two levels above his current level as it would be a waste and it was also really dangerous.
Apart from that, consumption also had some restrictions. Same stat stones could only be eaten once. If an evolved ate one that added speed, then even if he found a better stone in the future, he couldn’t use anything else that added speed.
This also stopped the possibility of people using infinite stones to strengthen themselves.
Thoughts flashed across his mind regarding the stones which made him smile. He was one star evolved now and could at most use a three star stone. This level two wheel stone was also decent for him. One had to say that he was quite lucky.
On this wheel, the most valuable thing was the potion, after which was this unassuming stat stone. With the number of crystals he had, he could spin seven times. But as he had to make the puppet, he needed to keep at least five crystals so he could at most spin six times. If he got one of the two during those six tries then it would be really lucky.
He suppressed his nervousness and looked around warily. After noticing that there was nothing suspicious, he took out the level two crystals that he got from Gu Pan and started to spin.
With the energy, the level two wheel started to buzz and started its first spin since descending.
Ye Zhongming stared at it and hoped to get the potion or the stat stone.
Unfortunately, even with the Elimination Technique, the needle landed on a useless bucket of oil.
He pouted and he continued…
In the night sky, the level two wheel started to shine.
In the east district water tunnel, two people headed up. If Ye Zhongming was here, he would realise that these two were the ones that dragged that woman away, Yue Chao and Yang Shilong.
“Damn, that girl was so weak, I didn’t have enough and she died, waste our effort to have to head out late at night to throw her body.”
Yang Shilong slapped off the dirt on his shirt and was unhappy.
“No choice, the weather isn’t cold now. If we tossed it in the base it might spread diseases and the spell might be so bad. If we toss it over the walls the zombies might go mad so we have no choice.”
Yang Shilong agreed, he was just complaining about it. He scratched his lower body and wanted to suggest finding another person to have fun with. But the moment he was about to say that, his gaze was attracted by the light in the nearby building. He was stunned for five seconds before reacting. Thus one could hear his shouts ringing across the base.
“Someone is spinning the level two wheel!”
