Chapter 396: The Mayor of the Base

In Wang Tao's impression, the mayor of Changhe Base City is a relatively mysterious person, because Wang Tao has never seen this mayor since he came to the base.

Wang Tao just knew that this person's name was Yao Guodong, and the rest was not clear.

After seeing this mayor today, Wang Tao was somewhat surprised - because this Yao Guodong turned out to be an ordinary person with only a thousand blood, and there was a negative state that Wang Tao had never seen.

[HP: 1000/1000]

[Curse: The success rate of fusing crystal nuclei is reduced, and it can be restored without fusing crystal nuclei within 30 days]

[Impurities in the body: 70%]

There are many ordinary people in the base, but Yao Guodong is the mayor, if a mayor is just an ordinary person, will he not be able to control the scene?

But seeing his negative state, Wang Tao also understood why he was an ordinary person - this negative state actually reduced the success rate of fusion crystal nuclei!

That's outrageous, isn't it?

Wang Tao has actually seen many negative states, such as the most common [corrosive acid rain], as long as people who have been exposed to corrosive acid rain, it is easy to appear in this state. Another example is [Weak], [Bleeding], [Shock], [Burn] and other negative combat statuses. Some of these negative states are so severe that they can kill people.

But these negative states last for a short period of time, such as weakness, and at most they last for a day and then disappear.

But this "curse" on Yao Guodong's head, judging by the meaning of his introduction, seems to be canceled after 30 days, and if the crystal nucleus is fused within 30 days, it should always exist!

30 days is not a long time, but it is not a short time. But time is not the point, the point is that except for Wang Tao, no one else seems to be able to find out about this matter.

Judging from the fact that Yao Guodong is not an adept yet, Wang Tao speculates that this "curse" should have been obtained before, and if it was obtained now, Yao Guodong should have been an adept a long time ago......

And if he got it before, and he didn't find out how to lift this curse, then Yao Guodong may have been trying to fuse crystal nuclei, and the more he tried, the more he would be unable to contact, and then form an endless loop - it can be seen from the impurities in his body that he is now up to 70%, he has obviously fused a lot of crystal nuclei, and Wang Tao's speculation is likely to be right.

So in Wang Tao's eyes, Yao Guodong is not only an ordinary person, but also a very unlucky ordinary person.

"Hello Mayor Yao!"

Wang Tao shook hands with Yao Guodong very politely.

"I've heard of Mr. Wang's name a long time ago, and when I see it today, it's really a talent!"

Yao Guodong praised.

"Where, Mayor Yao is older than I expected, but his body feels quite tough......"

Wang Tao couldn't find a place to praise for the time being, so he could only praise the other party for being in good health.

"Old! The body is not as good as it used to be......"

After the two exchanged a few more polite words, Wang Tao said bluntly:

"Mayor Yao is not a stranger, which surprises me a little......"

Yao Guodong is the mayor and the highest administrative position in the Changhe base. Although Wang Tao is not familiar with him and does not know what his character is, he must be outstanding to be able to become mayor and get the support of many committee members.

So if you can help him solve the problem and make him a stranger, then Wang Tao doesn't mind helping, he is very cost-effective in public and private.

After Yao Guodong heard Wang Tao's words, he immediately smiled bitterly.

"Alas, it's not impossible to say, it's all my luck ......"

……

In the last days, there are always all kinds of accidents, some good and some bad, most of which are not good, such as Yao Guodong.

He had been contaminated with this curse at a very early age - of course, he didn't know about the curse, he just knew that since he had been to a place and had come back from a serious illness, he had not felt that there was anything wrong with him.

But when it came time to fuse the crystal nucleus later, he realized that something was wrong - he failed to fuse the crystal nucleus once!

Although the success rate of the fusion of low-quality crystal nuclei is indeed low, his fusion is not low-quality - at that time, the Changhe base has already begun to be established, although he is not young, but he is still very capable, so he has made a lot of efforts in the establishment of the base, and naturally he has enjoyed good treatment, such as giving him some crystal nuclei above blue quality.

And these blue, purple, and red crystal nuclei all failed to fuse! That's outrageous!

At this time, Yao Guodong can still comfort himself that he is unlucky, as long as he is willing to persevere, he will always succeed.

But when he still failed to fuse the orange crystal nucleus, he was completely confused.

At this time, the research institute has gone through many tests, and the success rate of the orange crystal nucleus is 100%, which is theoretically impossible to fail! But he still failed......

Yao Guodong realized at this time that it was not a matter of good luck or bad luck, but a problem of no way to fuse the crystal nucleus at all!

He didn't know what was going on, and the research institute couldn't check it out, but he remembered the experience of a serious illness before, and the uncomfortable feeling in his body was still there...... So he speculated that his failure to fuse the crystal nucleus might have something to do with it.

But even if he did guess correctly, what could he do? Not to mention finding a solution, he doesn't even know how it works...... He wondered if his physique had been changed and he couldn't fuse the crystal nucleus - although it felt a bit outrageous, it wasn't impossible, after all, in the last days, nothing would be unexpected.

Yao Guodong was very uncomfortable, but he still didn't give up, and tried it with the orange crystal nucleus from time to time. But unfortunately, until now, he has not been able to become an anomaly.

And just last month, when he was undergoing a physical examination, the doctor told him that the impurities in his body had accumulated to level 8, and it was not recommended that he continue to use the crystal nucleus, and if he reached level 9, even if he was the mayor, he would have to be placed under house arrest!

Yao Guodong had no choice but to stop using the crystal nucleus, and now he has basically given up, but he is still a little unwilling.

He wants to become a supernatural, of course, not to fight outside, and he doesn't need to go to the front line as a mayor in charge of administration, just because after becoming an anomaly, his physical fitness will improve, and if there are no accidents, the supernatural will live longer than ordinary people!

Better health and longer life, this is obviously what Yao Guodong wants, but unfortunately there is no way to achieve it......

The reason why I rarely see Yao Guodong is because he is really busy - he has to go to the research institute to cooperate with the inspection; and to manage all kinds of affairs in the base; You have to eat and sleep...... He couldn't even keep up. So it's normal that Wang Tao hasn't seen him.

And the reason why Yao Guodong came to talk to Wang Tao today is naturally to take the opportunity to get to know Wang Tao, and then knock Wang Tao on the side to see if he understands this aspect, after all, strong people generally have more knowledge.

He originally thought that when he chatted later, he deliberately guided the topic to this side, but he didn't expect Wang Tao to take the initiative to ask him, so he naturally said everything.

Of course, he didn't have much hope, after all, the Hope Institute couldn't find the reason...... But he has to try, he is not willing to be just an ordinary person, he also wants to live a few more years! And the most important thing is that if he can become an anomaly, the impurities in his body will be halved, and he won't have to worry as much as he does now......

……

After listening to Yao Guodong's explanation, Wang Tao's face suddenly became a little strange.

"In other words, you fused many crystal nuclei before, and all of them failed. Later, you put a slowdown on the rate of fusion, maintaining the frequency of two or three times a month, but it still fails. In the end, I followed the doctor's advice and no longer fused ......"

"...... right"

Yao Guodong nodded helplessly.

"And how long has it been since you last fused the crystal nucleus?"

"It's been twenty-nine days, I remember it clearly, because I used to fuse crystal nuclei twice a month......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wang Tao was a little speechless, this Yao Guodong was a little unlucky!

Without knowing this "curse", he fused so many crystal nuclei before, and the speed of subsequent fusion slowed down, and he fused crystal nuclei twice a month. If he fused once a month, maybe the interval between them would be more than thirty days, and the curse would be gone!

And it's really because he's "too rich"!

If it is an ordinary person, if he finds that he has not been able to succeed in fusing the crystal nucleus, he may give up, at least temporarily, after all, the crystal nucleus is quite expensive.

But Yao Guodong is the mayor, and he has no shortage of crystal nuclei, so he has been experimenting. But the more he experimented, the more the curse could not disappear, and then a vicious circle was formed.

However, Yao Guodong was unlucky at the same time, but he was also lucky-because he met Wang Tao.

He hadn't fused the crystal nucleus for 29 days now, and by 31 days he would have succeeded. But the impurities in his body are too high now, and it will be dangerous to continue to fuse the crystal nucleus, so he is no longer ready to fuse the crystal nucleus. If Wang Tao hadn't reminded him, he might never have known that his curse was gone......

"It seems that the mayor must owe me a favor today!"

Wang Tao immediately decided not to tell Yao Guodong directly.

Since you want Yao Guodong to owe him favors, let him owe a big amount.

If Yao Guodong had been told about this, then Yao Guodong might have been grateful to Wang Taoda, but he himself also had a lot of credit, after all, it was only one day away.

And if Wang Tao can reflect that the reason why he can successfully fuse the crystal nucleus is because Wang Tao helped solve it, and it has nothing to do with him, then he will be very grateful to Wang Tao, and Wang Tao is the grace of reinvention to him!

It doesn't matter if it's a favor or something, but it's nice to get the mayor to owe him a big favor.

Although it is a bit shameless, but Wang Tao and Yao Guodong are not related, it would be good if he could help Yao Guodong, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would not extort Yao Guodong fiercely, and even tell him how to solve it......

Besides, if Yao Guodong is directly told the reason, then Wang Tao is not very easy to explain how he sees it. It's okay not to explain it, but it's a bit of a hassle.

So to sum up, Wang Tao decided not to tell him, but to wait for the negative state on his head to disappear, give him a crystal nucleus, and let him directly become an alien.

In this way, Yao Guodong will definitely give all the credit to Wang Tao and the crystal nucleus.

As for the specific crystal nucleus, Wang Tao has to think about it, it is best to get a crystal nucleus with a more special point, so that it is more convincing.

"Mayor Yao, listen to what you said...... I suddenly feel like I've seen you in this situation......"

Wang Tao suddenly spoke.

"Huh? Have you seen it? ”

Yao Guodong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wang Tao with surprise and expectation.

"But you have to tell me where you went before you got sick......

Wang Tao is still very curious about this place, and he wants to go and see it if he has the chance.

"Right in ......"

Yao Guodong hurriedly said the place and described the place carefully

Wang Tao felt that Yao Guodong should not have to lie to himself, so he nodded.

"That's right, I've met a guy before, and I've been to a place like what you said, and he's been failing to fuse crystal nuclei, so he can't become an anomalyβ€”"

"And then!"

Yao Guodong couldn't wait to speak.

"And then he died."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Yao Guodong's face froze.

However, Wang Tao smiled and said:

"But his death has nothing to do with this, he died in the tide of corpses."

"Whew-"

Yao Guodong was taken aback by Wang Tao. He thought it was going to kill him! However, Yao Guodong quickly reacted again, what Wang Tao said was that this person died in the tide of corpses! Ordinary people are not qualified to fight in the tide of corpses, right?

And Wang Tao's next words also affirmed his thoughts.

"In the beginning, that person also failed to fuse crystal nuclei, but then suddenly succeeded. And the reason for his success seems to be because the crystal nucleus he fused with is relatively special......"

"Can you fuse a special crystal nucleus?!"

Yao Guodong's face was very excited. This shows that he also has hope!

"But it's a coincidence, I happen to have that kind of crystal nucleus...... too"

β€œοΌβ€

Yao Guodong looked at Wang Tao in disbelief, and then waved his hand directly.

"Mr. Wang, make a bid!"

If Wang Tao was unwilling to take out the crystal nucleus, he should not mention this matter, and since Wang Tao said it, it means that Wang Tao intends to sell it!

"The crystal nucleus is actually not valuable, it is just an ordinary ability, I have always been upright in doing things, and I have never done anything to rob while the fire is hot, so I will give it to Mayor Yao! Mayor Yao, as the highest administrator of our base, has been doing his best for our base for so long, and it is worth it! ”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

Yao Guodong couldn't believe it, he let go of this good opportunity? He may not have much money himself, but he is the mayor, the face of the city hall and the entire Changhe base, and if he can be made an anomaly, the city hall will definitely pay for it!

However, seeing that Wang Tao didn't look like he was telling a lie, Yao Guodong suddenly understood that Wang Tao didn't want money, but he might want his favor!

As for favors or something, Yao Guodong doesn't mind, after all, this is Wang Tao, a fourth-order awakened person, and it is a good thing that they have mutual affections.

"But this crystal nucleus is in my house, and I'll give it to Mayor Yao tomorrow, right? Oh yes, there was one more small step before that man could use this crystal nucleus - he spent a day in his room quietly, completely emptying himself...... I don't know if it will be related to this metaphysical factor, but I personally suggest that Mayor Yao also learn it, after all, you can't let go of any possible ......"

Wang Tao's words are naturally nonsense, because Yao Guodong is only 29 days old, and there is still one day left, let him wait another day, and this cursed state should disappear. When the time comes, just fuse the crystal nucleus.

"Okay!"

Yao Guodong agreed directly, not to mention emptying himself for a day, in order to become an alien, he can survive even ten days!

After finalizing this matter with Yao Guodong, Yao Guodong shook Wang Tao's hand excitedly.

"Mr. Wang, I really don't know how to thank you......"

"Hehe, Mayor Yao, don't get excited. After all, this thing has not been successful, so don't have too high hopes, otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...... If you can be the best, you won't lose anything if you can't do it......"

Wang Tao silently withdrew his hand.

"Mr. Wang, you're right, you can't get excited, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment......"

Yao Guodong was not an ordinary person after all, and he quickly calmed down.

"The party will start later, then I won't bother Mr. Wang, let's talk later?"

"Good!"

Yao Guodong and Wang Tao exchanged contact information and left, his seat was at the front, and he had to speak on stage when he turned around.

After he left, Ding Yuqin and the others exchanged in a whisper, speculating about what happened to Yao Guodong.

Qu Shilin wanted to ask Wang Tao, her sixth sense told her that this matter should not be as simple as Wang Tao said, but she still held back her curiosity, after all, there are many people here, even if there is really something, Wang Tao is not very good to say.

Not long after Yao Guodong left, more people came over one after another.

Naturally, those who came late were heavyweights, such as those committee members, the leaders of the major forces, and so on.

Wang Tao silently observed them, and then raised his eyebrows.

The number of Fourth-Order Awakened Beings was a little more than he had imagined!

And in addition to some people who show the aura of the awakened, there are also some people who are hidden, and it is estimated that many people do not know that they are awakened!

"Old Yin Bi!"

Wang Tao complained a little, but he looked at his group again, and it seemed that except for him and Lan Yulian, no one else had updated their information. So on the bright side, there were only two fourth-order awakened people in their Starfire Society, and then they added a Xiang Hongbin whose breath could not be hidden, and those four black snakes......

Forget it, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, it's all the way.

"Advisor Wang!"

Cheng Yiyi also brought people over, and they sat next to Wang Tao.

"Captain Cheng, don't you sit in front?"

Wang Tao was a little curious, Cheng Yiyi must be qualified to sit at the front.

"I asked someone to change their position, after all, you are not only a member of the Spark Society, but also an advisor to our Sixth Legion!" Speaking of this, Cheng Yiyi whispered in Wang Tao's ear again, "By the way, please help us strengthen our momentum, and wait for the live broadcast later!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ All right. ”

Wang Tao shrugged.

Soon, the party officially began.
