Chapter 548 Served as Honorary Standing Committee Member
Wang Tao, Qu Shilin, Gu Yun and others went to the conference room next door to discuss it - in fact, there was not much discussion, because Wang Tao did not care about who was qualified to use the fourth-level genetic medicine. This was something Gu Yun needed to worry about. . Gu Yun had already made preparations, and all he needed was Wang Tao and Qu Shilin's consent.
Of course, this genetic medicine is not free, and it is not cheap. After all, both the raw materials and the energy expended by Qu Shilin are costs.
If the output increases in the future, the price will definitely be much cheaper. But now, these fourth-level genetic medicines are not affordable for ordinary people.
However, there are no poor people who can come here. It is very reasonable for them to share the research costs.
After a brief discussion, Qu Shilin called her assistant and handed all the remaining fourth-level promotion potions to Gu Yun.
“Then we’ll leave first.”
Wang Tao waved to Gu Yun, and then left with Qu Shilin.
Qu Shilin was still a little excited. After all, being able to develop genetic medicine was indeed a very fulfilling thing.
However, she still took a deep breath to calm herself down, because next she was going to do something even more exciting—promotion!
Qu Shilin did not return to the research institute, but followed Wang Tao to the villa. After all, she loses her perception of the outside world when she is promoted, and being around Wang Tao will make her feel more secure.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Qu Shilin took a deep breath and fused the crystal nuclei given to her by Wang Tao one after another. After a while, she lay directly on the bed and fell into sleep.
At this time tomorrow, Changhe Base will have another fifth-level awakener.
Wang Tao helped Qu Shilin cover herself with quilt and left the room.
“Is there nothing wrong with Shi Lin?”
Ding Yuqin asked proactively.
“It’s okay, just wait until you wake up tomorrow.”
Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then looked at the crowd and said:
“Which of you wants these leopards?”
He brought back 6 fifth-level mutant leopard lords this time, but Wang Tao would not be able to bring them all with him when he goes out in the future. So it's better to assign it to other people. Anyway, they are all at level five now and are strong enough, so there is no need to worry about Hua Bao's little intentions.
Of course, Wang Tao could sense that these leopards didn’t have any bad intentions. After all, they are not stupid. They have meat to eat here every day, so who would want to go to that dark place...
"I want!"
"I also want!"
Ding Yuqin and Han Rui, the girls, raised their hands one after another.
Wei Zhenguo and the others actually want it, but they already have the black snake, so there is no need to compete with everyone else.
Finally, Wang Tao decided to give the six leopards to Ding Yuqin, Han Rui, Yang Changhong, Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng and Li Qiuyu respectively. There were exactly six of them, one for each of them.
This kind of leopard is not only powerful in combat, but can also be used as a mount. And most importantly, their size is actually not too big, about the same as a horse, making it easy to ride in a car.
With someone of Xiao Hei's size, it's inconvenient to ride in a car. He has to be pulled by a large truck, which is quite troublesome. Of course, then again, with its size, there is no need to take a car. Wherever it goes in the future, it can just carry a group of people there. Although it can't fly, its speed is not slow, at least it is faster than many cars. Especially in this kind of ice and snow, it is much easier to use than a car.
After confirming the ownership of the leopards, Wang Tao communicated with them, and they naturally said that there was no problem.
Finally, Wang Tao looked at the two Xiao Huo and Xiao Bing who were playing together. Now the only difference between these two little minks is that they are still at level 4. Wang Tao decided to take them with him when he goes out in the future to see if there is a chance to advance them to level 5.
Although Xiao Huo is Qu Shilin’s pet, they are both our own people and there is no need to differentiate between them. Moreover, Xiao Huo also listens to Wang Tao's words and has a very good relationship with Xiao Bing. It will definitely be no problem for Wang Tao to take them both out at the same time.
Wang Tao is planning to wait for Qu Shilin to be promoted before going out again. I haven't gone to the Silver Snake Base yet, nor to the place that Shen Cuishan mentioned that is suspected of being a summoning altar. These are all things I want to see.
But when it came to the Silver Snake Base, Wang Tao almost forgot about it.
He immediately contacted Gu Yun.
“Huh? You said there is a Silver Snake base with a population of three to four hundred thousand people in the distance?”
Gu Yun was somewhat shocked.
He knew that there would definitely be other survivor bases in the world, but he felt that there would be very few or even none on the scale of Changhe Base.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because the Changhe Base can reach its current scale due to a lot of coincidences and luck. If it happened again, there might not be a Changhe base... That's why he was so shocked.
But soon, his shock turned into surprise. In the absence of a conflict of interest, no one would think too much of a survivor.
Changhe Base is still a certain distance from Silver Snake Base. At present, it seems that there will be no conflict between the two sides. On the contrary, they can cooperate in some aspects.
If the two bases can join forces, then these hundreds of thousands of people combined will obviously be able to exert greater value!
“Can you contact the specific location of the Silver Snake base? Can you contact there?”
Gu Yun asked quickly.
"I don't know. I just heard about this place, but I haven't been there yet, and I don't know what they use to communicate. I may go to the Silver Snake base the day after tomorrow to have a look, and I'll give you the news then. ”
Wang Tao shook his head.
"Okay! There are many underground lines in our country. Although many are broken, some are not broken yet. After you find the specific location of the Silver Snake base, notify me as soon as possible. I will see if I can borrow these lines and get in touch with them. "
Gu Yun said again.
“No problem, I’ll let you know when the time comes. Oh, by the way, one more thing, have you heard of the Summoning Altar…”
Wang Tao told Gu Yun about the situation of summoning the altar again.
The Summoning Altar cannot be used indiscriminately, otherwise it will harm others and yourself. For most people, using the Summoning Altar has only disadvantages and no advantages. Even if you can gain power from the Summoning Altar, it will only be temporary, and you will eventually either die or become a slave of the Summoning Altar. None of them end well.
"There is this kind of thing... You really need to be on guard, otherwise this thing will be more harmful than the Twilight Church!"
Gu Yun immediately became serious. He was going to call the others right away. In the next two months, it would be best to introduce some legal provisions for this kind of summoning altar to inform the people of the dangers of this thing and directly compare it to drugs. . And it just so happens that it can be announced together with the news about the genetic medicine.
With things like genetic potions that can stably increase strength, everyone will basically not place their hopes on things like summoning altars. Coupled with the constraints of legal provisions, the public should be wary of this thing in advance. . If you encounter the Summoning Altar in the future, you will be able to deal with it faster. After telling Gu Yun these two important things, Wang Tao ended the call.
The next day, Wang Tao had nothing to do, so he rested at home for a day and enjoyed a comfortable day off with Lan Yulian, Ding Yuqin and others.
Gu Yun is already very busy. There are too many things going on these days, and he is presiding over most of them, so he is very busy. However, he still came to Qiushuige Villa in person.
“Huh? Let me serve as a committee member?”
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
Although with his current strength, it is completely fine to be a committee member, Wang Tao has said before that he does not want to take care of things. He just wants to make himself stronger. Therefore, except for the position of principal of Awakening School, he will not hold any other positions, even if he is a committee member, he does not want it.
After all, if you really become a committee member, it would be somewhat inappropriate to be a hands-off shopkeeper, right? But if he focuses on management, it will waste his time when he goes out to fight, which will affect his ability to become stronger. This is why he doesn't expand the Spark Club. As long as he puts some thought into the Spark Club, the scale of the Spark Club is estimated to be the largest in the Changhe Base.
“No, no, no, not an ordinary member, but an ‘honorary member’ plus a ‘permanent member’!”
Seeing Wang Tao frowning, Gu Yun quickly shook his head.
“What does it mean to be an honorary member plus a permanent member?”
Wang Tao is a little curious.
Gu Yun explained:
"Honorary committee members have a lifelong tenure. Although they have no real power, they will enjoy the highest treatment of our Changhe base for life! Only committee members who have made great contributions to the Changhe base can receive it. You are the first person in our base to become an honorary committee member. Although you You are not a committee member, but you have made too many contributions, so you naturally made an exception..."
Without real power, there is no need to work... Wang Tao nodded immediately. This kind of false position does not matter. As long as it doesn't affect his ability to become stronger.
"As for the permanent members, they have real power, and their power is much greater than that of ordinary members - for example, 1 vote is worth 5 votes! And the most important thing is that the term of ordinary members is one year, while the term of permanent members is five years …”
"Of course, I know you don't want to waste time on management, so if you want to manage, you can manage at any time. If you don't want to manage, then you can just do your thing, you are very free!"
“…Wouldn’t this be bad?”
Wang Tao was speechless.
He hates people who fish at their posts the most, except himself.
“You are the number one person in our base, you deserve this treatment! And think about it, if you are not even a committee member of our base, what will other people think? I’m afraid they think you are being suppressed...”
Gu Yun said with a serious face.
“Why do you suddenly want me to serve as a committee member at this time?”
Wang Tao is still a little confused.
Gu Yun did not hide anything, and directly explained to Wang Tao:
“There’s nothing that can’t be said. Actually, there are two reasons…”
"One is that you defeated Cheng Yiyi. Although we can't understand it, Cheng Yiyi said that in order to save her face, you didn't hit hard, otherwise the battle would have been over long ago... So you can imagine your strength. You are definitely the number one person in Changhe Base! If you don’t serve as a committee member, it would be somewhat unjustifiable..."
“The second thing is that it’s time for a change of committee members. Some of the current committee members are preparing to step down. We need new people to supplement them..."
Wang Tao was very surprised when he heard this.
“Change of committee members? Are they ready to abdicate?”
It has been more than a year since the end of the world.
Although according to regulations, the term of committee members is one year, the terms of this group of committee members are indeed coming to an end. But it didn't say that they couldn't be re-elected. They can definitely continue to be re-elected. No one can remove them unless they step down voluntarily...
"Yes, they voluntarily abdicated. Because now everyone is getting stronger and stronger, and their strength is still stagnant at the third level... Although with the genetic potion, even if they cannot awaken, they can be promoted to the fourth level, but the superpowers There is still a big difference in strength between the Awakened Ones... and they are not young anymore. They feel that they cannot keep up with the times. It is better to abdicate and let more capable people come, and they can also have a good rest. Already…”
Gu Yun's tone was a bit emotional.
“It’s really admirable!”
Wang Tao was also a little surprised.
At Changhe Base, Mayor Gu Yun may have a high sense of presence, as if he takes care of all important matters single-handedly. But when it comes to power and status, the members of the committee are higher. Gu Yun is more like a big housekeeper. Many things seem to be decided by Gu Yun, but in fact, he is asked to lead various departments of the city hall to implement them after the committee finalizes them.
Therefore, Wang Tao admired these committee members for taking the initiative to give up their power and choose to abdicate in favor of talents. Most people are unable to do this.
“Today, my old leader talked to me. He said that they can’t understand the strength of you awakened people at all now, especially a fifth-level awakened person like you…”
"And if you can't even understand your strength, then if you encounter any crisis in the future, you won't be able to formulate a strategy - if they overestimate your strength, you may die; if they underestimate your strength, Strength will cause a lot of waste... This is the so-called 'layman guiding the expert'!"
"The old leader said that now the base is on the right track. Even if they disappear suddenly, they can develop stably for a period of time. They should take advantage of this opportunity to step down quickly and let more capable young people come, so that they can The base will have better development in the future..."
Listening to what Gu Yun said, Wang Tao admired him, but he also had to admit that what he, the old leader, said made sense.
For example, Wang Tao's current strength, except for himself, is not very clear to even people like Lan Yulian - it's not that Wang Tao deliberately hides his strength, but that he is getting stronger all the time. It’s impossible to report in real time, right?
Let people with strong abilities serve as decision-makers. Although there may be some shortcomings in some aspects, overall, it is more suitable.
Moreover, these committee members have just retired, not dead. If you really don’t understand something about management, you can ask them for advice...
“How are you thinking about it?”
Looking at Gu Yun's expectant eyes, Wang Tao thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.
“Okay, I agree.”
“Haha, congratulations! Commissioner Wang!”
