Chapter 1506: Chapter 628: Four Basic Attributes Meet Standards_2
"We can level up once we get back!"
Wang Tao happily collected the spoils of war, and Wei Zhenguo and the others had also cleared the surrounding zombies.
At that moment, the Awakening Fruit Tree began to decay, signaling that the Awakening Fruits were maturing! The timing was perfect.
After smoothly collecting the Awakening Fruits, Wang Tao gestured with his hand.
"Let’s go, head home and rest."
Chirp——
By the time they returned to Changhe Base, it was already midnight.
Although they were all very strong, they felt safer after returning. Everyone who needed to use Blood-forming Agents and Energy Enhancers to boost their powers did so, and those who needed rest, rested.
The next day, Wang Tao arrived at the Hope Research Institute carrying a large number of documents.
"Wow!"
Seeing the documents in Wang Tao’s hands, Qu Shilin couldn’t help but exclaim.
There were so many materials; could they really develop a serum for the Zombie Virus now?
However, Wang Tao quickly shattered her illusion.
"These materials are not all Ancestral Virus data, I took everything that might be useful, take a look yourself."
"Uh, okay, well, thank you for any material!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Qu Shilin expressed her thanks, then quickly called the other researchers to come over and categorize the materials.
"This is Ancestral Virus data! And it seems it doesn’t highly duplicate the data we got before? This material is useful, very useful!"
"Here’s another set of Ancestral Virus data, wow! Jackpot!"
"This material isn’t Ancestral Virus data, but it’s a study on Gene Potions, which is also useful for us..."
"..."
The crowd chattered excitedly, as if they had discovered a treasure.
Wang Tao sighed in relief, as long as these materials were useful, his efforts in bringing them were not in vain.
Then Wang Tao pulled an excited Qu Shilin aside and discussed the matters of Red Maple Base with her, handing over the data about controlling Mutated Plants.
"Oh my! There’s such a place!"
Qu Shilin was clearly surprised by Red Maple Base. She quickly flipped through the data Wang Tao had given her, nodding continuously:
"This information is useful for us too! Not for controlling Mutated Plants, because we lack the necessary Awakening Ability, but these research ideas can help in controlling Powered Armor, maybe we can develop brainwave-controlled large Powered Armor!"
Current Powered Armors are not very large, typically around three meters. Anything larger would be difficult to control, as Powered Armor is manipulated by human limbs. But if controlled directly by the mind, such armor could be made very large, similar to insect-like Biological Weapons.
Being larger doesn’t always mean stronger, but it does offer an advantage in battles like facing a Zombie Tide. If they at Hope Research Institute can fully understand this data from Red Maple Base, maybe there is a real chance to develop large Powered Armors!
"Haha, good that it’s useful, then my efforts were not in vain!"
Wang Tao laughed.
After conversing a bit more, the researchers provided preliminary results from the vast amount of data; one fifth of the materials were useful, including the two sets related to the Ancestral Virus!
Qu Shilin’s next task was to integrate these two sets of Ancestral Virus data with previous data to see how much overlap there was and if it could meet the threshold for developing a Zombie Virus Serum.
This would take some time, and during this period, Wang Tao went to the City Hall and discussed the matters of Red Maple Base with Gu Yun.
"Another super large Survivor Base, with a population of 800,000! Good, very good!"
Gu Yun was very pleased to hear the news.
The more survivors there are, the greater their hope.
Then Gu Yun called the others to have a meeting, and Wang Tao naturally intended to honor the deal he previously agreed on with Red Maple Base. In addition, communication between the two bases should be increased.
Changhe Base’s advantages include various Crystal Energy Technology and Potions, which Red Maple Base needs. Red Maple Base, on the other hand, has an abundance of Crystal Cores and Mutated Plants, allowing both sides to complement each other optimally!
The subsequent tasks no longer required Wang Tao’s involvement as Gu Yun would handle everything.
Wang Tao once again came to the Hope Research Institute, and Qu Shilin had good news and bad news for him.
The good news was that the two sets of Ancestral Virus data Wang Tao brought back this time did not have too much overlap, both of high quality and substantial in content! Including the previous data, they had almost fully pieced together the appearance of the Ancestral Virus!
But the bad news was that they still couldn’t fully reconstruct the appearance of the Ancestral Virus data, missing about 20%.
If considering the size of the Ancestral Virus data Wang Tao had collected before, collecting one more set might be enough! But without this data, the Hope Research Institute’s hopes of developing a Zombie Virus Serum would be very slim.
Hearing these two pieces of news, Wang Tao felt somewhat helpless.
The laboratory that was destroyed by the nuclear bomb obviously had Ancestral Virus data; if he could get that data, it would likely be complete. Unfortunately, everything there was destroyed...
However, there was still a chance. Qu Shilin provided Wang Tao with a list of many major hospitals and laboratories; Wang Tao just surveyed a few relatively close locations. Considering the vast area of the country, there are many places left unexamined.
If he inspected those places, he could probably obtain another set of Ancestral Virus data, right?
"Wang Tao..."
Qu Shilin clasped her hands together, looking at Wang Tao with a pleading expression.
Only Wang Tao had the capability to find these things, and only he could help her.
"Leave it to me, it’s just the last set of data we need, shouldn’t be a big problem."
Wang Tao smiled and ruffled Qu Shilin’s hair, and even if Qu Shilin didn’t say it, he would have definitely gone to find that last set of data. After all, it was something that would benefit all human survivors.
"Thank you!"
Qu Shilin immediately hugged Wang Tao happily.
The two chatted for a while, and seeing that Qu Shilin really wanted to get back to her experiments, Wang Tao didn’t say much else and let her continue with her experiments, while he returned home.
"I’ll go out again tomorrow, as for today, let’s max out the Mana level first!"
Wang Tao took out all the Potions he had obtained and began using them one by one. Moments later, Wang Tao’s Mana limit finally reached 1 million!
However, Wang Tao didn’t rush to check his attributes but took out a lot of sixth-rank Crystal Cores instead. During this trip, not to mention others, he killed countless zombies, especially sixth-rank zombies, losing count of how many. Among them, there were also many All-Purpose Crystal Cores.
Even though it takes combining 4 Crystal Cores into one to make a pure Crystal Core without any impurities and side effects, these All-Purpose Crystal Cores weren’t enough for Wang Tao’s use. But, Wang Tao had also obtained many Cleansing Potions from last time when he killed that zombie matriarch, which can cleanse Internal Impurities! Besides increasing Internal Impurities, the All-Purpose Crystal Cores have no other side effects.
So, Wang Tao could now directly use the un-synthesized Sixth-Rank All-Purpose Crystal Cores, and then use the Cleansing Potion to remove the impurities from his body. This way, he could save a lot of Crystal Cores, and he had enough All-Purpose Crystal Cores at hand!
Thus, Wang Tao immediately began integrating the Sixth-Rank All-Purpose Crystal Cores, and moments later, all four of his Abilities turned into "Sixth Rank +10"!
Wang Tao then took a deep breath and looked at his Basic Attributes.
[All Basic Attributes Meet Standard: Not Complete (4/6)]
[1. Sixth Rank Health Increase Maxed (Completed)]
[2. Sixth Rank Mana Increase Maxed (Completed)]
[3. Four Abilities Increase Maxed (Completed)]
[4. Four Awakenings Increase Maxed (Not Completed)]
[5. Awakening Energy Increase Maxed (Completed)]
[6. A Trace of Primary Law Power (Not Completed)]
"Beautiful!"
Wang Tao was initially unsure if the maxing out of Abilities meant reaching Sixth Rank +10 or needing to go up to Seventh-tier +1, as based on prior experience, theoretically, after integrating a Seventh-tier Ascension crystal core, it could reach Seventh-tier +1. But Wang Tao didn’t have any Seventh-tier crystal cores...
Now seeing these attributes, Wang Tao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, not needing a seventh-tier; Sixth Rank +10 was indeed max level!
Now, out of Wang Tao’s six basic attributes, four have already met the standards, just missing the last two.
Not to mention the Primary Law Power, he only saved up 50%, and it would have to absorb the same type in the future, clearly not something that could be completed in a short while.
The main issue was "Awakening Increase Maxed," which didn’t even have an option for enhancement?
Wang Tao stroked his chin, and somehow, he felt like he sensed something.
"...Related to Primary Law Power?!"
