Chapter 232: Advancement to Level 3

After the meal, only Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue were left at home.

While Wang Tao was stroking Jiang Shixue's hair, he looked at the tree roots wrapped around his wrist.

[Level 3 Weapon·Tangled Iron Tree Roots]

[HP: 100000/100000]

[Status: Awakening]

[Amplification: HP, attack, defense, fire protection]

[Fitness: 100%]

It’s not in vain that he put in so much effort and finally got 100,000 blood!

Counting Wang Tao's own 30,000 blood, this is equivalent to him having 130,000 blood!

"It's almost time to advance to the third level now... After the third level, let's go see that... old friend!"

Wang Tao muttered softly.

He has never forgotten the fourth-level monster with 100,000 health that he encountered before.

At the second level, he had almost no power to resist. If he reaches the third level, plus the entangled tree roots with 100,000 blood, and other third-level superpowers, will he be able to fight?

Now that Lan Yulian has become his woman, before he leaves, he is ready to see if he can help her deal with this hidden threat.

"Buzz——"

Suddenly, there was a familiar buzzing sound outside.

"Huh? Here comes the airdrop!"

Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue ran out immediately, and a small black spot appeared in the sky.

"The frequency of airdrops has been very high recently. It's only been a few days since the last airdrop... Let's go and have a look!"

Judging from the direction of the plane's flight, it was obvious that it did not pass over the base.

After Lan Yulian heard the sound, she had already started arranging people to go out to get the airdrop.

After she invited all the other survivors in Bauhinia City to the base, she now has a very good advantage - no one is competing with them for airdrops.

"Wang Tao, do you want to go out too?"

Lan Yulian came to Wang Tao and asked.

"Well, I'll call for an airdrop again."

Wang Tao smiled and spoke.

When talking about this, Lan Yulian thought of the last time Wang Tao directly let the short fall on their heads.

Her eyes were bright, and then she hugged Wang Tao's arm and twisted it around like a little girl.

"Wang Tao~ I want to know how you did it!"

Lu Yingfeng, who was next to her, turned her head. She was tired of seeing Lan Yulian's coquettishness and cuteness. But her ears perked up.

"Haha, because I know a pilot - I guess I know him. After I contacted him through the walkie-talkie, I asked him to airdrop."

"ah?"

Both women were a little stunned.

Even if you know the pilot, can you still contact the pilot?

Then the two women became excited again. After all, if they could contact the pilot and ask him to keep airdropping to them, wouldn't that be great?

"Forget it."

Wang Tao probably knew what the two women were thinking, so he shook his head.

"These pilots seem to have missions, and they won't stay, so I can only contact them for a while, and I'm not very familiar with them. He only gives face to us for airdrops. If he doesn't give face, then I can't do anything. Besides, No, it’s not necessarily the pilot I know…”

"That's it... that's pretty awesome! Then go and contact him. I hope you're lucky enough to be able to contact him. I'll ask everyone else to cooperate with you..."

Lan Yulian was a little disappointed, but quickly shook her head. It's yours, you can't hide it, it's not yours, and there's no point in forcing it.

"Okay. Then I'll go out first."

Wang Tao nodded.

"Let Xiaofeng come with you."

"OK."

Lu Yingfeng drove and took Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue out of the base.

Nie Siyan and Xu Xiaojun had already gone out to hunt zombies in the morning, and they were still outside now.

The flight route of the plane this time was a little off, but Lu Yingfeng was still very familiar with Bauhinia City. Before the plane flew over, she was already waiting on the plane's inevitable route.

Wang Tao took out his walkie-talkie and started trying to contact the pilot.

"Colonel Luo, I am Wang Tao, I am..."

"Colonel Luo..."

"Zizzi...zizi..."

Unable to contact them for the time being, Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan's cars also came over at this time, and several people gathered together.

"I may not have good luck today. Either I can't contact you, or this pilot is not the Colonel Luo Guozhong I know..."

Looking at the approaching plane, Wang Tao shrugged helplessly.

Normally, you should be able to contact the other party at this distance, but now there has been no movement, and I don't know what the situation is.

"It's okay. If there is an airdrop, we can pick it up ourselves."

Lu Yingfeng comforted.

Wang Tao nodded, but he did not give up and continued to try.

"Colonel Luo, I am Wang Tao, I am..."

"Zizzi...zizi..."

Until the plane flew overhead, there was still no sound from the other side.

Wang Tao and others were a little disappointed. They were disappointed not to be able to contact the pilot, but also disappointed that the plane did not miss any airdrops all the way. Could it be that there was no airdrop this time?

But at this moment, Jiang Shixue, who had been staring at the plane, suddenly tugged on Wang Tao's sleeve.

"Brother, look."

Um?

Everyone quickly looked up.

I saw that the plane that had just flown over everyone's heads dropped an airdrop, and not one, but several airdrops fell at the same time!

"He got my message!"

Wang Tao was suddenly surprised.

Dropping so many airdrops at once was obviously not due to luck, but because he really contacted the pilot.

As for why there was no response, maybe it was because the radio device on the plane had a problem and could only receive but not send? Or maybe it was some other reason. Anyway, Wang Tao must have contacted him, and it was most likely Colonel Luo!

Wang Tao quickly spoke to the intercom:

"Thank you! I have already got the wine. I will go over and treat you to a drink later!"

There was wine in the Bauhinia Base. Although it was a high-value item, Wang Tao, with his status, naturally took it at will. He asked Lan Yulian to prepare some good wine for her.

"Zizi... Zizi..."

There was still no response, and Wang Tao didn't know if the other party had received it.

"Forget it, go pick up the airdrops!"

These airdrops were basically in an area like last time, and everyone quickly collected all the airdrops.

Wang Tao took a rough look and found that there was nothing else except some instruments, inhibitors, medical kits, food, etc. that he had seen before.

"Take all the things, I'm going to hunt zombies."

Wang Tao said to Lu Yingfeng.

Now that he was out, he planned to go to the Danfeng Hotel to see if there were any changes.

As for these airdrops, they were all his own people anyway, so he could just take what he needed from Lan Yulian.

"Okay."

Wang Tao called Xu Xiaojun and Nie Siyan, and Jiang Shixue, and the four of them drove towards the Danfeng Hotel.

On the way, Wang Tao encountered several weakened third-level zombies.

"I guess those zombies in the sports center have already run all over the entire Zijing City..."

These zombies are naturally no problem for Wang Tao and his friends, but they are still very dangerous for others. However, it is also an opportunity, depending on whether they can catch them. After all, these third-level zombies are weakened versions, and it is much easier to kill them.

The car stopped some distance away from the Danfeng Hotel.

Wang Tao and his four people got out of the car and walked carefully towards the hotel.

"Will the situation like last time happen again?"

Nie Siyan said in a worried voice.

Last time, they were all caught in the illusion of the fourth-level monster, and she was the most unlucky one, and was almost killed by Wang Tao. So even though she is now at the third level, she still has some shadows in her heart.

"Be confident, it's only the fourth level, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Wang Tao patted her shoulder and said with a smile.

Of course, although Wang Tao said so, he was actually more cautious than anyone else.

All the way to the downstairs of Danfeng Hotel, several people didn't feel like they were hit.

But the less they were hit, the more worried Wang Tao was.

"Could it be that we have been hit..."

"... Brother Wang, don't scare me!"

Nie Siyan was really scared.

Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue, who had the strongest resistance to mental attacks.

"I don't feel anything either."

Jiang Shixue shook her head.

"Go a little further..."

Wang Tao continued to move forward with a few people, and soon arrived at the downstairs of Danfeng Hotel.

"Huh?"

Seeing the zombies swaying downstairs of Danfeng Hotel, Wang Tao frowned.

This is the territory of the fourth-level lord monster. Monsters and zombies are not the same, and the relationship between them is actually hostile. Logically speaking, there should be no zombies here.

Even if there are zombies, they should be zombies controlled by the monster, not low-level zombies that are casually wandering around, right?

But then again, the ability of this fourth-level lord monster is too weird, and no one knows whether this is an illusion or not. So Wang Tao didn't dare to sneak in rashly.

He and several people tried to attract ordinary zombies under the hotel nearby and kill them.

They were killed smoothly, just like the real world.

Wang Tao led several people to conduct various experiments, and finally Wang Tao felt that there seemed to be no illusion!

"Did this monster leave?"

Wang Tao felt that this was the only possibility.

"Go in and take a look!"

After several people dealt with the zombies under the hotel, they went inside the hotel again.

There were also many zombies inside, but they were all ordinary zombies, and they were easily killed by several people.

Wang Tao went from the first floor to the top floor, and except for some suspected monster feces on the top floor, he did not find any trace of the monster.

"It's really gone..."

Wang Tao was sure this time. The monster really left, and he had been scaring himself just now.

"Huh..."

Nie Siyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wang Tao was not too relieved. If the monster was here, Wang Tao at least knew its location and warned others not to come.

But now the monster is gone, and there is no trace, it has become a hidden threat...

"Forget it, let's go back first."

Wang Tao looked around, but didn't find any other clues, so he could only let everyone go back first.

It was already evening when they returned to the base, and Wang Tao told Lan Yulian about the departure of the fourth-level monster.

Lan Yulian frowned at first, and then suddenly showed a happy smile on her face.

"Wang Tao, are you worried about me?"

Lan Yulian was very happy, at least this proved that Wang Tao was sincere to her.

"Of course."

Wang Tao pinched her face.

Lan Yulian rubbed her face against Wang Tao's palm, and then she said:

"Don't worry, I will pay more attention. And we have so many third-level psychics in our base, we don't have to be afraid of this fourth-level monster!"

"Yeah."

Wang Tao nodded, and then said.

"In the next few days, you should organize more people to hunt zombies. I will try to upgrade you to the third level before I leave. This way I will feel more at ease."

Lan Yulian is still at the second level now, mainly because she doesn't have enough almighty crystal cores. Wang Tao let him use some of the almighty crystal cores he had.

"Okay!"

In the next few days, Lan Yulian continued to deal with the affairs of the base. After all, she recruited people from other forces in Zijing City. Suddenly, so many people were added. How to arrange them was a big problem. The rules and regulations in the base had to be re-established.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Tao thought that the general and Kong Xiu would start a new business, but unexpectedly, they stayed with their own people and were willing to be inferior to others.

Wang Tao was still a little worried that they had other purposes, but Lan Yulian was very confident. She felt that she could subdue these two people.

But she also had the capital to be confident. After all, there were so many third-level superpowers under her, so Wang Tao didn't say anything more.

Wang Tao went to hunt zombies with Lu Yingfeng, Nie Siyan and others. He wanted to find the trace of the fourth-level monster and save some special energy.

Four days later.

Wang Tao almost vomited from killing zombies, and saved up 500,000 special energy. He also got a lot of crystal cores. As for the fourth-level monster, Wang Tao searched almost the entire city, but still couldn't find it.

Wang Tao suspected that the monster had left Zijing City.

But whether it left or not, Wang Tao was ready to upgrade to the third level.

Before upgrading to the third level, Wang Tao got a batch of crystal cores from Lan Yulian. After some synthesis, he made a lot of second-level all-powerful crystal cores.

"You upgrade first, and I'll come after you upgrade to the third level."

Wang Tao handed a bunch of all-powerful crystal cores to Lan Yulian.

Seeing this bunch of red and orange all-powerful crystal cores, Lan Yulian opened her mouth wide and looked at Wang Tao as if he was looking at a monster. Lu Yingfeng next to her had a similar expression.

Lan Yulian can now be 100% sure that Wang Tao definitely has a way to improve the quality of crystal cores!

Combined with the fact that every time she gave Wang Tao a bunch of crystal cores, the number of them was much less after Wang Tao returned them to her, but the quality was much improved, Wang Tao's method was probably similar to those crystal core synthesizers!

Crystal core synthesizers need to consume a large number of crystal cores of the same quality to eliminate the side effects of the current crystal core.

Wang Tao's method is likely to consume a large number of crystal cores to improve the quality of the current crystal core!

As for what this method is, Lan Yulian can't guess it. She thinks it may be an instrument similar to a crystal core synthesizer.

But since Wang Tao didn't tell her, she was very sensible and didn't ask more.

"Okay!"

After Lan Yulian took the crystal core, she started to fuse it directly.

Among her four superpowers, three of them are still only +1, so Wang Tao prepared 27 synthesized all-powerful crystal cores for her.

After spending some time, Lan Yulian successfully fused all these crystal cores, and her four superpowers are now all +10.

Wang Tao took out 4 orange third-level promotion crystal cores.

"Continue."

"..."

Lan Yulian suddenly felt a sense of security.

I really want Wang Tao to stay!

After a moment, Lan Yulian completed the fusion of the four promotion crystal cores.

"I can be promoted!"

Lan Yulian hugged Wang Tao and kissed him excitedly.

Although she knew that she would definitely be promoted to the third level, it was still beyond her expectation that she could be promoted to the third level so quickly.

"Then just promote directly, after all, it takes 24 hours."

Wang Tao rubbed her head and said.

"What about you?"

Lan Yulian looked at Wang Tao.

She actually wanted to be promoted with Wang Tao. If the two of them were promoted to the third level at the same time while lying on the same bed... it was quite romantic to think about it!

"I will be promoted after you wake up. After all, your base has just started to reform. If something happens and we are not here, it will be a bit troublesome."

Wang Tao spoke directly.

"Uh... it seems so. You are still thoughtful!"

Lan Yulian kissed Wang Tao again, and then lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

After a while, Lan Yulian fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Tao said to Lu Yingfeng next to him:

"Bring all the crystal cores you can get."

"Yes."

Lu Yingfeng would not ask why.

Although Wang Tao was not the leader of the base, she regarded Wang Tao as the leader.

A few hours later, Lu Yingfeng came with a pile of crystal cores.

"All the crystal cores that can be obtained are here. Maybe others have hidden some crystal cores, but the number should not be large."

"Yeah."

Wang Tao put all these crystal cores into the space backpack.

Although Lu Yingfeng had seen this scene a long time ago, she still found it amazing.

When Lu Yingfeng was busy outside, Wang Tao sorted these crystal cores in the space backpack, and then synthesized some important crystal cores into high-quality ones.

These high-quality crystal cores are reserved for Lan Yulian to cultivate talents. As for those ordinary crystal cores, don't worry about them. These crystal cores can be used for daily transactions.

When Lan Yulian finished her promotion to the third level and woke up, she saw a pile of high-quality crystal cores on the table beside the bed.

"Wow!"

Many women have no resistance to such shiny things. Lan Yulian is no exception.

Hearing the noise, Wang Tao pushed the door open.

He took a look at Lan Yulian's attributes.

[HP: 30000/30000]

[Blue amount: 13600/13600]

[Level: Level 3]

[Hidden attribute: life-saving and healing]

[Impurities in the body: 11%]

"Congratulations."

Wang Tao said with a smile.

"Wang Tao~"

After Lan Yulian got up, she threw herself directly into Wang Tao's arms.

Lu Yingfeng had just walked in. When she saw this scene, she felt that she might have come at the wrong time.

Wang Tao said to the two women:

"You will get the crystal core you need in the future. If the situation is not particularly urgent, there is no need to rush to fuse it. You can wait for me to come back."

Wang Tao didn't mention his nucleation synthesis ability, but Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng probably understood what Wang Tao meant.

"good!"

Both nodded.

Lan Yulian was even more happy because Wang Tao said he would come back.

"Okay, then it's time for me to be promoted. Please protect me."

Wang Tao smiled again and spoke.

"Do not worry!"

Wang Tao had already fused the four promotion crystal cores before, and now he lay down on the bed where Lan Yulian had just lay, and immediately fell asleep.
