Boom——
Wang Tao smashed the eighth-tier Dark Beast with a punch and skillfully collected the spoils of war it dropped. He looked at the crystal cores in his space backpack and sighed.
"I've already killed so many eighth-tier elemental monsters, but I'm still far from having enough crystal cores..."
To ascend to the ninth level, Wang Tao needs to max out four basic attributes besides mana. Each basic attribute requires 100 crystal cores to reach max level, totaling 400 eighth-tier crystal cores. However, the purity of these eighth-tier crystal cores is only 15%, so it takes 20 eighth-tier crystal cores to synthesize 3 with 100% purity. Therefore, Wang Tao needs a total of 2680 eighth-tier basic crystal cores to gather 400 crystal cores with 100% purity!
Although each eighth-tier elemental monster drops 4 basic attribute crystal cores, plus the cores from the spoils of war orb, totaling 8, Wang Tao still needs to hunt 335 eighth-tier creatures!
