NOVEL NEXT Chapter 397: More Activities_3
"I want it!"
Cheng Yiyi hastily spoke up, afraid that the snake egg would be snatched away by Qu Shilin.
"I want it too!"
Qu Shilin immediately spoke as well.
Both women looked eagerly at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao thought for a moment, then said to Qu Shilin first:
"I'll give you one. You can research it or incubate it, whichever you prefer."
Qu Shilin had an unknown type of egg in her hand, and Wang Tao also had one. But that egg needed 15 days to incubate, so it was still early.
Wang Tao had previously said he would give her one, but then he forgot, and this was a good opportunity to give it.
Qu Shilin was overjoyed, while Cheng Yiyi's face showed disappointment.
But then Wang Tao turned to Cheng Yiyi and said:
"I'll give you four. I hope you can incubate a Level 4 Lord."
Qu Shilin: "..."
She should have asked how many snake eggs Wang Tao really had!
Cheng Yiyi's face showed excitement, but she quickly masked it.
"Thank you! Name your price, and I'll transfer the money to you afterward!"
Wang Tao had thought it through since Cheng Yiyi was using the black snake for combat, it made sense to give her more.
Cheng Yiyi suddenly realized that the sponsorship money Wang Tao had previously gathered seemed to be going right back into Wang Tao's pocket... But it made sense, as the money was meant to enhance the combat power of the Sixth Army Corps, and she was indeed using it to enhance combat power.
While they were exchanging words quietly, the guest introduction had finished. Next, it was time for the leadership speeches.
Mayor Yao Guodong beamed as he took the stage, reminiscing about the past of Changhe Base, describing the present, and finally envisioning the future.
Before the apocalypse, people got tired of this kind of rhetoric, but now, they listened eagerly, clearly needing the motivation and hope.
After Yao Guodong finished, several other leaders took the stage to speak. Yao elaborated on the broad directions while the others provided specific data, generally indicating: the base was continuously improving, and a bright future awaited everyone.
Clap clap clap—
After robust applause, the official performances began.
Dancing, singing, and the like didn't much interest Wang Tao, who was somewhat weary of beauty given the daily presence of so many beautiful women.
It wasn't long before the more intriguing events of contesting and showcasing began.
And indeed, they were quite interesting, especially the Ability demonstrations. The various bizarre Abilities also broadened Wang Tao's horizons.
The only pity was that no Awakeners were demonstrating; Tao was more interested in Awakening. But that was understandable; Awakeners represented the highest combat power of the base, and having them perform on stage would clearly be a disrespect.
Then came the showcasing of new Weapon Equipment, Crystal Energy Guns, Crystal Energy Engines, Powered Armor, and even Mechanical bodies were displayed.
These items were quite impressive as they could significantly enhance combat power, but many were not yet available for mass production, so it was just a teaser for now.
Among these, the most attention-grabbing was the newest Mechanical body. Especially when the camera shifted to Xiang Hongbin, it caused quite a stir at the venue. Everyone there was more than Ordinary, understanding what the Mechanical bodies signified—potentially a matter of life and death!
Many were already planning to meet with Starfire Society after the evening to discuss and find out what it felt like to wear such a Mechanical body, and whether it truly enhanced combat power significantly...
At that moment, Mayor Yao Guodong came up to Wang Tao and whispered:
"Mr. Wang, don't rush to leave after the evening event, there's another activity..."
"Oh? What activity?"
Wang Tao was curious, as the end of the evening event usually meant dinner.
"The evening event is prepared for all the residents of the base, but the activity that follows is prepared for people like us..."
