Chapter 309: Three Fourth Orders
When Wang Tao shook hands with Qi De, he could clearly feel Qi De's hand being forced.
Well?
Just when Wang Tao thought that this was the other party's dismount, Qi De suddenly withdrew his hand. Then laughed and said:
"Haha! Mr. Wang is really a master of physical skills! β
"Physical?"
Wang Tao frowned, does this refer to physical fitness?
Seeing that Wang Tao was a little puzzled, a man wearing a military uniform and a somewhat handsome appearance came over and explained:
"Upgrading to the fourth order requires awakening, and this awakening is the awakening of various elements, and the 'body' is a kind of awakening element, which we are used to calling 'body arts' or 'system awakeners'. And Mr. Wang is obviously a master of physical skills like Qi De......"
Wang Tao suddenly realized that this "physical technique" refers to awakening.
If you don't count those zombies and monsters, Wang Tao has only seen himself as an awakened person before today, so he doesn't know much about human awakening.
However, it is clear that Zid misunderstood. Because Wang Tao's awakening is the awakening of the fire system.
The man in military uniform held out his hand.
"Hello Mr. Wang, my name is Shang Heng, deputy commander of the Fourth Legion."
"Hello."
Wang Tao shook hands with him.
This Shang Heng is not an Awakened One, just a third-order one hundred thousand blood powerhouses.
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Blue amount: 31200/31200]
[Level: 3rd Order]
Based on his blue amount, he should have four abilities, and all of them have been fused with the fourth-order promotion crystal nucleus. But it's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to hide and can't awaken.
"I've heard Mr. Wang mentioned by Head Hou before, and when I saw it today, it really deserved his reputation!"
Shang Hengda said with a smile.
The head of the regiment Hou he was talking about was obviously Hou Zhiyuan, the commander of the Third Army.
Wang Tao felt that this was obviously Shang Heng's kind words, because if Hou Zhiyuan really told him about himself, then he should know that he was a fire awakened person.
"Head Shang is polite, and I have to thank you for your care in the future!"
Wang Tao shook his head with a smile.
"Huh! I don't dare to take care of it, I can only say that I support each other! β
Shang Heng waved his hand again and again.
Although he is the deputy commander of a legion, his own strength is not weak, and the power in his hands is even stronger. But Wang Tao is a fourth-order ability, and he definitely can't support it.
While several people were laughing, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a smile like Maitreya Buddha walked over.
"Mr. Wang looks really magnificent! I heard that Mr. Wang can easily single-handedly take on a fourth-order lord monster, admire! I admire it from the bottom of my heart! I asked Mr. Wang to drink when I went back, and I hope Mr. Wang can appreciate his face! β
"This is Zhou Long, the deputy leader of the Loyal Gang."
Secretary-General Gu Yun explained with a smile.
"It turns out that this is the leader of the Loyal Gang! Disrespectful! β
Hearing that the other party was the deputy leader of the Zhongyi Gang, Wang Tao was suddenly a little surprised.
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Blue amount: 35200/35200]
[Level: 3rd Order]
[Awakening: Black Quicksand]
[Black Quicksand: Create a black quicksand terrain]
Zhou Long is an earth-based awakener, and looking at its awakening introduction, this should be a large-scale control awakening.
The ability to control the class, the more people there are, the more it can exert its effect. Especially the wide range of control, perfect for team fights.
"Huh? Has Mr. Wang heard of me? β
Zhou Long was a little curious.
"Of course. Wasn't that monster I killed last night released by your Loyal Gang! Let me kill a fourth-order lord monster and get a lot of loot, and I have to thank him for that! β
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Tell me about him! He used to be one of my most trusted men, but I've had him punished for this! After all, no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that the monsters he released hurt many ordinary residents......"
Zhou Long had an unbearable look on his face.
I don't know if it's because of the unbearable bald man, or because of the unbearable people who were affected by the disaster.
Moreover, Wang Tao observed that when Zhou Long said this, the expressions on the faces of the others were nothing, but he could obviously feel the corners of Gu Yun's mouth pulling.
However, Gu Yun didn't say anything about this matter, he pointed to a man wearing full body armor and holding a big knife:
"Mr. Wang, this is Huang Wu, the deputy leader of the Vientiane Alliance."
Since this Huang Wu was wearing a full suit of armor, a helmet, and a mask, Wang Tao couldn't see his face clearly, but Wang Tao could feel that he was not so enthusiastic about himself compared to others.
However, Wang Tao still said very politely:
"Hello, Lord Huang Meng."
Whether others are enthusiastic or not has nothing to do with him. Maybe people have this character, and this is the first time he has met with everyone, just be a little polite.
[HP: 100000/100000]

[Level: 3rd Order]
γAwakening: Cone Heart Possessionγ
[Cone Attachment: All basic attributes are increased in all directions, and attacks come with toxins]
Huang Wu's ability should be regarded as a passive ...... Poison?
Wang Tao had killed a fourth-order zombie that could release poison before, and it was very troublesome to fight.
However, the zombie's awakening is active, and Huang Wu's is passive, I don't know how strong Huang Wu's awakening is.
"Well, hello."
Huang Wu snorted with his nose, and his tone was neither salty nor light.
"Alright, let's go inside. There are still people waiting inside! β
Gu Yun smiled and made a gesture of please.
There were other people around, but it seemed that they were all Gu Yun's followers, secretaries or something, so he didn't introduce them again.
"Okay."
Wang Tao also did not introduce Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan.
As for Xiang Hongbin and the lightning in his hand, Wang Tao didn't need to be introduced, someone had already surrounded him.
"Judging by your dog's appearance, it should be a military dog, right?"
Zid asked with some envy.
"That's right, it's called Lightning, and it's a military dog."
Xiang Hongbin touched the lightning head a little proudly.
The people around Wang Tao don't like lightning, and he is naturally no exception. Every time he sees the envious expressions of others, he feels very happy!
"It's third-order, right?"
"Yes."
"Can I touch it?"
Zid couldn't help it.
"Of course, he's obedient."
Xiang Hongbin nodded.
Zid stretched out his hand, and then said with some uncertainty:
"Are you sure?"
Wang Tao next to him was suddenly a little surprised, he actually saw a trace of fear on the face of this extremely fierce looking awakened person?
Perhaps sensing Wang Tao's gaze, Qi De touched his nose a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, and I have a psychological shadow."
He didn't hide it, and directly stated the reason.
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Wang Tao immediately laughed. But feeling that it might be a little rude, he continued:
"Then don't worry, Lightning is a well-trained military dog, and it will not bite you. Right, lightning? β
Wang Tao's last sentence was to look at the lightning and say.
"Wang~"
Lightning suddenly shouted at Wang Tao, and then stuck out his tongue and looked at Qi De.
Zid thinks this military dog is too cute!
He took a deep breath, then put his hand on Lightning's head and rubbed it.
Lightning squinted slightly, rubbing it against the palm of his hand.
"Cool!"
Zid shouted in his heart.
And after he touched the lightning, it was like turning on some kind of switch, Secretary General Gu Yun, Deputy Commander of the Fourth Army Shang Heng, Deputy Gang Leader Zhou Long, and even Huang Wu, who had always been cold to Wang Tao, came over.
In fact, they already want to touch the lightning when they see it. It's just that after all, they met Wang Tao for the first time, and they don't know what Wang Tao's temper is, what if Wang Tao doesn't like his pet to be touched by others?
Now it is found that although Wang Tao is burly, he has a kind personality, especially after seeing that Qi De has already started, they immediately surrounded and put their hands on the lightning.
Lightning is quite happy, and he likes to play with other people.
But Xiang Hongbin was a little speechless.
At this time, Shang Heng stroked a few handfuls of the dog's head and came to Xiang Hongbin's side.
"You're a soldier?"
The feeling of being a soldier is different, although Xiang Hongbin is not wearing a military uniform, and even his body is disabled, but when he goes to that station, Shang Heng feels the temperament of a soldier in him.
"Well, it used to be the vigilantes."
Xiang Hongbin nodded.
"Haha, I'll just say it! Just look at your injury, most people can't hold on, and sure enough, it's still our soldiers! Hello, my name is Shang Heng! β
Shang Heng stretched out his hand to Xiang Hongbin.
"Xiang Hongbin."
Xiang Hongbin shook hands with him.
There were obviously a lot of common topics among the soldiers, and Shang Heng and Xiang Hongbin chatted.
Wang Tao said to Gu Yundao, who had just finished the lightning and continued to lead the way in front:
"Does Secretary General Gu know where prosthetics are sold?"
"Prosthetics? You're going to give this Mr. Xiang, right? There are prostheses in many places in our base, but if you want to not reduce your combat effectiveness, or even improve your combat effectiveness, you can only buy products customized by the Hope Research Institute. β
Gu Yun turned around and explained to Wang Tao.
Hearing his words, Wang Tao was not surprised. The Institute of Hope is now clearly synonymous with technology.
It's just that Wang Tao learned about it from Cui Sheng, and hopes that the things in the institute will be good, but some things may not be able to be bought. It's not about the money, it's about the fact that they have limited production and have to queue up......
Something like a prosthetic limb must be the best one that I want to tailor to the Institute. But Wang Tao is not familiar with them...... So Wang Tao wanted to see if he could go through the back door or something from other people.
Although Gu Yun didn't know Wang Tao's specific thoughts, he could guess a rough idea. He smiled and said:
"If it's just a prosthesis, it's not a big problem. I hope that the people from the institute are also here today, just talk to them later, they will definitely sell you a face. They're inside. β
"Okay."
The tents in this temporary camp are a combination of multiple tents, and there is a lot of space inside, and a lot of weapons, ammunition, and various instruments and equipment are placed.
Gu Yun took Wang Tao and walked for a while and came to a bright hall.
There were many busy figures in white coats in the hall, some of them controlling instruments, some recording data...... And in front of them, there was a large field of meteorites of various sizes.
Crystal Star Meteorite!
"Our first batch of meteorites is here."
Gu Yun pointed to those meteorites and said to Wang Tao.
"So much!"
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
He took a cursory look, and this meteorite was estimated to be in the hundreds!
No wonder the town hall agreed to let him participate in the shares!
If no one shares the risk, if you want to open all these meteorites, you will have to consume a large number of fourth-order crystal nuclei!
Originally, Wang Tao felt that the 7 meteorites in his hand were too much, but it turned out that there were hundreds of them!
"It's not just from our city hall, but also what Zid and they brought together."
Gu Yun explained.
Although this is what they added together, Gu Yun also said just now that this is the first batch of meteorites they took out, and there are obviously follow-ups! Wang Tao instantly felt so poor......
"Where did you get so many meteorites?"
Wang Tao asked with some curiosity.
When there was a meteorite rain last night, he also ran a lot of places, but he only picked up 7.
"There weren't many meteorites that fell inside our base last night, but there were quite a few outside, and they were all picked up from the outside."
This is similar to what Wang Tao guessed.
They all have a lot of subordinates and a lot of planes, and their efficiency in picking up meteorites is definitely much higher than Wang Tao's.
"Ms. Qu, Mr. Wang is here."
Gu Yun said to one of the figures wearing a white coat, with a slender figure and black hair pulled up high.
The man was holding a bunch of knives, pliers, electric drills, or something in his hand, destroying a meteorite and recording something.
When she heard someone speak, she looked up and lifted her black-rimmed glasses, revealing a beautiful face in her thirties.
[HP: 100000/100000]
[Blue amount: 31200/31200]
[Level: 3rd Order]
A 100,000 Blood Order-3 Ability with no hidden ability.
After the woman saw Wang Tao, she had no expression on her face. When she saw Xiang Hongbin behind Wang Tao, she looked a little surprised, as if she had thought of something, and frowned a little. And when she saw the lightning that was being led by Xiang Hongbin, she was stunned for a moment, and then swished, and rushed to the lightning side.
The woman bent down slightly, her eyes shining at the lightning.
"It's a mutant! Can I touch it? β
"Yes."
Wang Tao shrugged. Lightning's lethality is truly invincible.
Lightning is different from other mutant monsters, some other monsters, such as Wang Tao encountered the boar monster before, the appearance of that monster has changed a lot compared to the original. The wild boar is not good-looking in the first place, and it becomes even uglier when it mutates.
The lightning is different, it is still the shape of the same shepherd dog as a whole, and it is only larger and more muscular than before. In a non-combat state, it is not hideous, but has a bit of a naΓ―ve temperament.
After getting Wang Tao's permission, the woman immediately held the lightning in her arms and ravaged it.
This is Ms. Qu Shilin, an expert at the Hope Institute and the general advisor of this event. If you want a custom prosthesis, you can find her. β
Gu Yun explained.
"Okay!"
Wang Tao was about to greet Qu Shilin, when he saw Qu Shilin suddenly look up at Wang Tao and say:
"Can you sell me the dog? How much do you drive! β
ββ¦β¦ Not sold. β
Wang Tao shook his head.
Lightning is his companion, and it's not a matter of having more money and less money.
Seeing that Wang Tao refused without thinking about it, Qu Shilin frowned, and then said:
"I'm serious, you can think about it. Money is not an issue! β
"Lightning is my combat partner, and it's not about money."
Wang Tao also frowned.
This has just met, or is it a stranger, and he wants to buy his partner?
"Is it called lightning? Sorry, I was a little abrupt. β
Perhaps sensing Wang Tao's unhappiness, Qu Shilin apologized generously.
Wang Tao's brows relaxed.
It seems that this woman should not have done it on purpose, but she was too fond of lightning.
But before he could speak, he heard Qu Shilin say again:
"Can you rent it to me? I can pay! How about a hundred a day! β
βοΌβ
Wang Tao was a little speechless. Is this woman so fond of lightning? Would you rather spend money than take it back?
Lightning is his good friend, how can he do such a betrayal of his dog's character!
But 100 yuan, although Wang Tao can't look at this price, but this Qu Shilin is a rich woman at first glance, if she can add money, it doesn't seem to be impossible......
But Wang Tao has a problem.
"What are you renting lightning for?"
Is it really to take home and masturbate?
Qu Shilin said without thinking:
"Research, of course! Mutant beasts are very difficult to encounter, and most of them have little intelligence, are disobedient, and their ferocity is difficult to eliminate. It's the first time I've seen a mutant beast like Lightning! β
ββ¦β¦ Lightning is back! β
Wang Tao greeted with a dark face, and the lightning immediately broke away from Qu Shilin's arms and came to Wang Tao with his tail wagged.
Wang Tao stroked its dog's head, and then looked at Qu Shilin a little speechlessly.
"No talk!"
Want to study lightning? Don't even think about it!
Who knows if the lightning will be sliced and tortured!
Wang Tao thought that this woman liked lightning, but she wanted to use lightning as a guinea pig!
ββ¦β¦β
Qu Shilin didn't expect Wang Tao to refuse so decisively, she was about to say something more, Gu Yun next to her hurriedly said:
"Ms. Qu, we have all arrived, and we are ready to open the meteorite."
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
Qu Shilin slapped her head in fear, and then said to everyone:
"You discuss which one to start with, and the agreement signed between you is ready, let's not waste time!"
"Okay."
The crowd responded.
Then Qu Shilin turned his head to look at Wang Tao again.
"Can't you really rent it? I swear, I promise it won't hurt it! β
She still has some reluctance to give up.
"It's not negotiable."
Wang Tao shook his head.
"Okay......"
Qu Shilin was a little disappointed, but Wang Tao could feel it, and she didn't seem to have given up.
This made Wang Tao frown a little.
This is the first time he has come into contact with someone from the Hope Institute, and it didn't go well...... He originally wanted to get a custom prosthetic for Xiang Hongbin, but now it seems to be a little difficult.
But Wang Tao is still ready to give it a try.
"Ms. Qu, I heard that you want to research on custom-made prosthetics? Can you make a custom set for a friend? The price is easy to say. β
After these words, Wang Tao was still a little nervous, he was a little worried that Qu Shilin would use lightning to negotiate conditions. If that's the case, then he'll have to make a choice......
Qu Shilin glanced back at Xiang Hongbin.
"You said him?"
"Hmm."
Wang Tao is ready to be rejected or manipulated. But who knew that Qu Shilin nodded happily.
"Absolutely! When you get back to base, you can always bring him to me. β
"Huh?" Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, and then said a little unsurely, "Aren't there any additional conditions?" β
Qu Shilin glanced at him.
"What are the strings attached? You don't think I'm going to take advantage of the lightning to threaten you, do you? Who do you think of me? And I want to thank you for sending me research subjects! Well, I won't take any money, just let him cooperate with me. β
After speaking, Qu Shilin fiddled her eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Xiang Hongbin: "......"
He suddenly felt a chill in his back.
No, can you please ask for my opinion?
