Chapter 312 Come to my house at night
“What are you going to do?”
Wang Tao looked wary when he saw the toolbox in Qu Shilin's hand.
Qu Shilin quietly hid the suitcase behind her back, then brushed her hair around her ears and said:
“Well, I’m just curious...”
Seeing this, Gu Yun immediately spoke:
“Ms. Qu, let’s not dismantle this thing!”
The city hall has previously made an agreement with the Hope Research Institute to allow them to come over to study the contents of the meteorite.
However, what can be studied and what cannot be studied, I hope that the research will definitely not count, because they have neither obtained crystal nuclei nor meteorites, and the ownership of these things has nothing to do with them.
Of course, if people at the Hope Research Institute really want to study something, everyone must give the institute this face.
But the premise is that their own interests cannot be harmed.
And Wang Tao just said that this beetle is a weapon! Judging from Wang Tao's tone, he has obviously seen something similar before, so it should be impossible to deceive everyone.
So everyone is curious, what is this weapon, and can it directly or indirectly increase one's combat effectiveness?
If possible, then this weapon would be of great use, and Qu Shilin certainly couldn't just dismantle it.
…”
You don’t trust her so much? The most basic trust between people!
Looking at the nervous looks of several people, Qu Shilin rolled her eyes at them. But she put down her suitcase.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief immediately. If Qu Shilin insists on forcibly demolishing it, it will be a bit difficult to handle. After all, no one wants to have a stalemate with the institute. Fortunately, Qu Shilin is not an unreasonable person.
Everyone looked at Wang Tao.
Gu Yun asked:
“Mr. Wang, can you introduce me?”
"Of course." Wang Tao nodded first, and then said, "I need a second-order crystal core."
The Iron Beetle's current fitness is 0% and cannot be used. At least 1% is enough. To improve the compatibility, you need your own blood volume or crystal core. For fourth-level weapons, the second-level crystal core can increase the fit by 1%, the third-level by 10%, and the fourth-level by 100%.
Without saying a word, Gu Yun took out a second-order white crystal core with no special powers.
Wang Tao took the crystal core and silently communicated with the iron beetle.
Then I saw the iron beetle suddenly moved. It climbed onto the crystal core, as if it was gnawing. In the blink of an eye, the crystal core disappeared.
At present, the armed ability of this iron beetle has not been activated and cannot be used. It can only use independent attacks.
As for letting it attack, it's similar to the Night Demon Type I. You don't control it directly, but you give it orders.
Wang Tao threw the iron beetle out and gave an order to protect himself.
So everyone saw that when the iron beetle was in the air, its body began to expand! Within a few moments after landing, he transformed into a figure similar to Lightning!
“Woof!”
The lightning next to him gave a warning cry.
ifies
Gu Yun and Qi De both exclaimed.
It was obviously the first time they had seen such a scene.
After the iron beetle grew in size, it immediately came to Wang Tao and walked slowly around Wang Tao like a guard.
"It is... acting as your bodyguard? Is it intelligent?"
Shang Heng asked immediately.
Even an individual can tell that this huge beetle is obviously protecting Wang Tao.
"It can be used as a bodyguard, or it can be used to attack. As for wisdom, I can only say that it is there, but not high."
Wang Tao explained.
The wisdom of weapons can only be to understand Wang Tao's words and carry out Wang Tao's orders. But it has no ability to distinguish or think. It's like a pure tool.
Shang Heng immediately said after hearing Wang Tao’s words:
“Can you let it attack and see? I have tools here!”
Shang Heng asked the soldiers to bring three dummies. A wooden man, a wooden man wearing iron armor, a wooden man wearing steel plates. This is a prop for their experimental weapon, and it is ready to be used now.
Wang Tao gave the order to the Iron Beetle to attack the wooden man.
——
This iron beetle looked round and round, but it was not slow. It arrived at the first wooden dummy in the blink of an eye. The pair of pincer-like horns on its head were aimed at the wooden dummy.
—
The wooden dummy exploded instantly.
“Huh? This damage is pretty good!”
Everyone was a little surprised.
This wooden dummy is much harder than ordinary humans, but the insect was directly cut into pieces. This is not cutting, but cutting into pieces!
When the horn on the iron beetle's head attacked, it seemed to trigger something similar to a shock wave, which directly shattered the wooden man into pieces with shears.
“Does this have second-level strength?”
Gu Yun opened his mouth and said.
First-level superpowers can destroy wooden figures, but they certainly don’t have such great lethality.
Wang Tao said nothing and let the armored beetles attack the armored wooden man.
boom-
The armored man was also directly cut into pieces. Although it was not as completely shattered as the wooden man, most of the armor was shattered.
“More than that! This is at least the second level of peak strength!”
Zide’s eyes lit up.
Although he is a fourth-level superpower, the second-level and third-level powers are now the backbone. It would be great if he could have a second-level peak helper who would obey him.
Wang Tao still didn't speak. He gave the order again and asked the iron beetle to come to the wooden man wearing a steel plate.
There are many small pits on the steel plate on the wooden man's body, as well as a small number of holes. It was clearly weather-beaten, with bullet marks all over it.
The iron beetle opens its big horns and acts like a pair of pliers against the steel dummy.
boom-
The steel plate was directly broken where it was hit by the angle! The wooden dummy inside was cut into two pieces!
"I go!"
Everyone screamed in surprise.
“Level 3, this definitely has the strength of Level 3! The steel plate that can block bullets can be cut to pieces! It is impossible to have this strength without Level 3!”
At this stage, it is too difficult to awaken to the fourth level, and the third level is the pinnacle that most people can reach.
This beetle can actually have a third-level combat power, which is amazing!
But what Wang Tao said next made everyone a little confused.
"This 'iron beetle' is not only the third level, it is the fourth level."
“Huh? Fourth level?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Tao with suspicion.
In the entire Changhe base, there are hundreds of thousands of people, but how many fourth-order ones have been released in total?
And they did not feel the fourth level aura from this insect. The stronger the strength, the sharper the five senses. If it was really level 4, there was no way they wouldn't be able to sense it!
“It is indeed the fourth level, but its current strength has not been used. If you want to use its full strength, you must improve its ‘compatibility’ and nourish it..."
Wang Tao briefly explained "fit" and "nourishing".
In fact, as long as it is a weapon awakened by oneself, even if they cannot see the specific attributes, they can slowly feel the information, but they have to spend time to explore. Wang Tao can save a lot of time by popularizing science to them.
"In other words, if its compatibility is improved and nourished, it can reach the fourth level of combat power?"
Zhou Long’s eyes shone with light.
"You can say that."
Wang Tao nodded, and then explained.
"Of course, I only judge based on my previous experience. This is the first time I have seen this iron beetle, so I am not sure whether it can reach the fourth level of combat power. After all, we have awakened after the fourth level, but it has not. But what is certain is that it is stronger than most third-level ones. Perhaps we can think of it as an unawakened fourth-level one..."
According to Wang Tao's experience, most level 3 superpowers are definitely unable to defeat level 4 weapons that attack independently. But judging from his own strength at the third level, he can beat it. That's why Wang Tao said that the Iron Beetle is stronger than "most" third-order ones. The main focus is rigor.
“Level 4 combat power!”
“The lowest level is the third level of peak combat power!”
“So, this is a ‘weapon’! Biological weapon!”
…”
If this weapon has level 3 combat power, they will be very excited. But if this weapon has level four combat power, then they will go crazy!
After all, this is the fourth level!
Not to mention all mankind, at least it is the highest combat power of their Changhe base!
“Then quickly nourish it and improve its compatibility! I want to see its fourth-level combat power!”
Zhou Long said immediately.
"That's right, how many crystal nuclei are needed? We will provide it!" Zide spoke very grandly.
Others also looked at Wang Tao impatiently. Who needs these few crystal nuclei?
Hearing what they said, Wang Tao suddenly looked a little strange.
As mentioned before, there are a total of 100 crystal energy star meteorites here. Wang Tao took out 100 crystal nuclei, and each meteorite must participate in one share.
The City Hall is similar to Wang Tao. They also participate in one share of each meteorite, but the City Hall takes more crystal cores. For some meteorites that require multiple crystal cores to be opened, they participate in several shares.
The meteorites brought over by others are not of ordinary quality. They are crystal energy star meteorites of higher quality that require more than four crystal nuclei to be opened.
This kind of meteorite can be opened with only two crystal nuclei. The two crystal nuclei belong to Wang Tao and the City Hall respectively.
In other words, the contents of this meteorite belong to no one else. This iron beetle belongs to both the city hall and Wang Tao.
So if people like Zide take out the crystal cores for Wang Tao to test, they will suffer a loss. They obviously don't know how many crystal cores are needed.
Wang Tao will definitely not deliberately deceive people. He is prepared to make this matter clear. Just listen to him say calmly:
“It’s okay to improve the fit. To increase it to full value, you only need 100 second-order crystal cores, or 10 third-order crystal cores, or 1 fourth-order crystal core…”
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone frowned slightly.
A fourth-level crystal core is exchanged for a fourth-level combat power. Although it is not cheap, it is definitely worth it! However, Wang Tao obviously has more to say...
"But as long as the weapon is used, the fit will be reduced. The more time the weapon is used, the more the fit will be reduced. If the weapon is compared to a car, the fit is gasoline, and the car will continue to consume gas when it starts. Oil…"
“Is it a continuous consumption...that’s not bad.”
Even if you exchange a few fourth-order crystal cores for a fourth-order combat power, it's still a gain!
Wang Tao continued to explain:
"But these are actually trivial matters, just a few fourth-order crystal cores. I believe everyone can get them. The most important thing is that you must use the crystal cores or your own blood to nourish the weapon so that the weapon's strength reaches its upper limit. . And to nourish the iron beetle... it requires 10,000 second-order crystal nuclei, or 1,000 third-order crystal nuclei, or 100 fourth-order crystal nuclei."
"ah?"
Everyone was a little confused.
10,000 second-order crystal nuclei, 1,000 third-order crystal nuclei, or 100 fourth-order crystal nuclei?
Good guy, this is a gold-swallowing beast!
This cost is too terrible!
“So, are you sure you want to take out the crystal core for me to test?”
Wang Tao asked with a smile.
Everyone's faces suddenly became a little embarrassed. They had seen Wang Tao bring out a second-order crystal core before, and they subconsciously thought that what this iron beetle weapon needed was a second-order crystal core. It couldn't be said that it was wrong. The second-order crystal core was indeed the same. Okay, but this requires 10,000 second-order crystal nuclei!
This kind of meteorite that only requires two crystal cores to be opened was brought over by the city hall. The ownership of this meteorite and the contents inside belongs to Wang Tao and the city hall, and has nothing to do with anyone else.
If it were their own iron beetles, they would be able to scrape together these crystal nuclei by gritting their teeth. After all, this is a fourth-level combat power, and it is worth spending more money. But it’s not theirs, so even if they are curious, they can’t spend the money in vain...
“Ahaha, Mr. Wang, I suddenly remembered that I don’t have many crystal cores in my hand, just enough to open these meteorites, so I can’t nourish this weapon. I’m sorry!”
Shang Heng quickly spoke.
Although he has a good feeling about Wang Tao, he feels that the two of them can become friends. But that doesn't mean he wants to be taken advantage of.
Others also quickly refused.
Face is nothing, wallet is the most important.
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.
“I am out of the crystal nucleus.”
At this moment, Gu Yun suddenly spoke.
Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.
“Secretary-General Gu, are you sure? This is not a small amount of money!”
Although this iron beetle belongs to him and the city hall, they haven't discussed how to distribute it specifically. Gu Yun just took out the crystal core?
"Confirmed. As for our distribution issue..." Gu Yun came to Wang Tao and whispered, "Let me tell you straight away, our city hall wants this weapon very much. Let's discuss it later. If you give it to us, we will definitely not You will be disappointed!”
Gu Yun seemed very generous.
In fact, it cannot be said that he is generous, because this is not his crystal core, but the city hall's. He doesn’t feel distressed when using it…
Wang Tao raised his eyebrows when he heard what Gu Yun said.
He actually wants this weapon, but if the city hall is really willing to give him generous compensation, it is not impossible to give up.
So Wang Tao came a little closer and whispered in Gu Yun's ear:
“Actually, this iron beetle weapon also has a very powerful function, but the conditions are currently insufficient and there is no way to demonstrate it. I will explain it to you in detail later.”
Wang Tao has never cheated on his own people or those he cooperates with. If he doesn't know the function of this iron beetle, forget it. Since he knows it, he must make it clear.
“Oh? There are also functions!”
Gu Yun’s eyes lit up.
But he was very sensible and didn’t ask any more questions.
One is that Wang Tao can't show it now, and the other is that this iron beetle belongs to their city hall and Wang Tao. It's out of their kindness to show it to others. If they don't show it to others, they can't say much...
“Okay! Let’s talk about it in detail later!”
Gu Yun nodded and was no longer in a hurry to take out the crystal core to nourish it.
Others saw Wang Tao and Gu Yun sneaking around, especially when they saw Gu Yun's eyes suddenly shining, they felt a little itchy. Obviously, Wang Tao told Gu Yun something they didn't know! They want to know too! However, it is not easy for them to ask whether or not it is other people’s rights.
Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao and Gu Yun with twinkling eyes. She was wondering how she could borrow this biological weapon for study...
Wang Tao handed the iron beetle to Gu Yun and taught him how to control it.
Although others could not try it, they all listened carefully to Wang Tao's explanation like the Sanhao students. After all, if it weren't for Wang Tao, they would definitely not know this knowledge.
Wang Tao didn’t hide anything about how to control weapons, so others could listen to them if they wanted to. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as improving everyone's combat effectiveness.
“It turns out that consciousness is needed to perceive and control…”
Everyone was a little stunned. Only then did they know how Wang Tao controlled this iron beetle.
“Then how did you discover that you could control it like this?”
Qu Shilin, who had been silent, asked curiously.
Others also looked at Wang Tao, and they were also curious about how Wang Tao found out.
Because this method of using consciousness to perceive is easy to say, but in actual operation, if no one reminds you, it is difficult to discover this method!
Take this iron beetle for example. When Gu Yun tried it, he put the iron beetle in front of him. He closed his eyes and used his consciousness to slowly search for that "light point". Only when he found the light point and connected with it With the fusion, he can control the iron beetle.
Under normal circumstances, who would think of such a thing!
Everyone generally trusts their own senses such as eyes and ears. Things like consciousness are beyond the scope of the five senses.
Most people can't feel what consciousness is at all, and only people with super powers can vaguely perceive it.
So who would have thought that this biological weapon requires consciousness to perceive and control it.
Wang Tao naturally wouldn’t say that he could see attributes. He made up a random reason.
“It’s an accident. When I killed the fourth-level lord Night Demon for the first time, I accidentally discovered that I could establish a connection with its heart, so I discovered this weapon..."
Everyone nodded subconsciously, and then felt that something was wrong.
Qu Shilin suddenly looked at Wang Tao.
“Wait a minute! You said that the heart of the fourth-level lord Night Demon is also a weapon?”
Everyone then realized, Wang Tao said that the Night Demon's heart is a weapon?
"Yes, it is equivalent to a fourth-level night demon controlled by someone."
Wang Tao nodded.
He had no intention of hiding the heart of the Night Demon. Because it can be seen from the fact that Gu Yun and the others have never seen weapons, they must not have discovered the use of Night Demon's heart. But they definitely killed the fourth-level lord Night Demon.
This shows that the Night Demon’s heart is most likely wasted by them.
Wang Tao naturally hopes that everyone can know this thing and avoid it being wasted.
As expected, after hearing Wang Tao's confirmation, almost everyone beat their chests and stamped their feet.
“Oh shit! We just destroyed a night devil’s nest a few days ago! Only the bones and claws of the fourth-level lord night devil were left, and everything else was burned by a fire..."
"Who isn't? Last week, I personally crushed the heart of a fourth-level lord night demon. I asked why it couldn't be crushed after a long time, but in the end, I used my fourth-level strength to crush it... At that time, I was still It feels so good! Now... grass!”
"Last time, I led our legion and directly pushed through a large Night Demon lair. Except for the crystal core and some hard materials, everything else was destroyed by the artillery wash, including the two hearts of the fourth-order Lord Night Demon. . Well, two..."
…”
A group of people are trapped in regret and self-blame. Especially the three fourth-level superpowers, they had all killed the fourth-level Night Demon Lord. When I think about how many fourth-level night demons that I could control were destroyed by myself, I feel regretful!
However, there are also people who, instead of feeling uncomfortable, are actually excited.
“Wang Tao! Come to my house at night!”
Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with bright eyes.
“Ah? What are you doing!”
Wang Tao looked wary.
"In order to study the Night Demon, I got a lot of parts from the Night Demon. Now there are more than a dozen fourth-order Lord Night Demon hearts lying beside my bed! Please help me see if I can wake them up!"
Qu Shilin spoke excitedly.
Wang Tao: “…”
Everyone: “…”
There was a small bug in the previous chapter. Regarding the number of crystal nuclei required to open the meteorite, it should not affect reading. It has been corrected~
