Chapter 824: Chapter 322: Crystal Energy Firearms (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)

“What’s the matter? Just say it. If I can do it, I definitely won’t refuse.”

“I recently discovered a kind of amazing plant, after eating it, people’s strength can greatly increase in a short time, but it causes some hallucinations… My samples have run out, and I want you to help me pick some more…”

Upon hearing Qu Shilin’s words, Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.

“The plant you’re talking about, isn’t it a mushroom with red spots, is it?”

“Eh? Have you been to that place?”

Qu Shilin looked at Wang Tao with some surprise.

“I’m not sure where you’re talking about, I probably haven’t been there. I’ve only seen these mushrooms before in Zijing City…”

Wang Tao explained briefly.

Because what Qu Shilin described was obviously the Strength Mushroom!

“I see…” Qu Shilin realized, and then said, “The place I’m talking about is outside the city, not dangerous but very concealed. You…”

“No problem, it’s a small matter!”

Wang Tao agreed directly, as he was also planning to go out and enhance the HP of the Lan Yulian group, which was on the way.

However, Wang Tao asked with some curiosity:

“But I’m curious, why are you asking me to go?”

Qu Shilin shouldn’t know about Wang Tao’s strength, and as she just said, the place is not dangerous. Couldn’t she just pay a team to go there, or even send the army? The Legion and research institutes have always had a strategic partnership, and they would certainly help with such a small favor…

“Because I think you’re trustworthy. I don’t trust others, last time—never mind, let’s leave the past in the past, I was tricked before!”

Qu Shilin’s face showed a hint of indignation.

Feeling trusted was a bit flattering, and Wang Tao said:

“Alright, since Miss Qu trusts me so much, there’s nothing more to say. As long as there are mushrooms in that place, I will definitely help you bring them back.”

“Thank you! I won’t let you help for nothing! Moreover, I only need a portion of those mushrooms, you can sell the rest for money…”

Qu Shilin brought over a tablet, which displayed a map of Changhe Base.

“The place is here…”

Qu Shilin explained the location to Wang Tao in detail.

The place was a bit far from the base, situated on a mountain with no zombies around. Qu Shilin said they had sent people a few times before, and it was basically safe. However, the team she had been working with had recently gone to kill a Level 4, Zombie Lord in an attempt to achieve Awakening, but they were completely wiped out… She couldn’t find a suitable person at the moment, so she had to ask Wang Tao.

Although Qu Shilin hadn’t known Wang Tao for long, she could tell that his integrity was decent, at least he was principled, which was enough in this post-apocalyptic world.

“When do you need the mushrooms?”

Wang Tao asked.

“I’m not in a rush, I still have a lot of work unfinished. However, I would suggest going as soon as possible, because I’m not sure if this place has been exposed. If someone else discovers it, they will definitely raid it…”

Qu Shilin said.

“Then let’s go tomorrow. I was actually planning to go out tomorrow anyway, I can pick the mushrooms then.”

Wang Tao said directly.

“Great!”

Qu Shilin was a bit excited.

She actually knew of several other places where these special plants grew. Once Wang Tao brought back these mushrooms, she would then tell him about the other things. After all, she had been cheated before, so it was better to be cautious.

“Also, I’ll give you a weapon!”

Qu Shilin took out a single-handed firearm from the bedside cabinet. It had an odd shape and a sci-fi look, somewhat similar to the gun Zhou Long had used before, but with significant differences in details.

“This is the latest ‘Crystal Energy Gun Improved Experimental Model’ developed by our team, it doesn’t have a specific name yet…”

Qu Shilin gave a brief introduction.

“Oh? For me?”

Wang Tao accepted it with curiosity.

It was heavy on the first touch, much heavier than normal firearms. On closer inspection, there seemed to be some handmade marks… Overall, although it was big and heavy, it felt solid.

“Yes, it’s for you! But it’s not for free. There’s a work recorder on this gun. If you have a chance, please use this gun to kill more zombies. This way, we can store more work data, making it easier for me to improve it later. Then you can tell me your experience with using this gun, any areas for improvement…”

Qu Shilin clearly wanted Wang Tao to field-test the gun. This made Wang Tao suddenly feel a bit uncertain.

“This gun won’t have any problems, will it? Like barrel explosion?”

“You can rest assured! My gun hasn’t been in actual combat yet, but it has undergone various pressure tests already, having a much higher safety coefficient than ordinary firearms! There won’t be any barrel explosions or misfires!”

Qu Shilin was clearly confident in her gun.

“That’s good.”

Wang Tao nodded.

“Let me teach you how to use it…”

After Qu Shilin’s instructions, Wang Tao also generally understood how to operate the gun.

It must be said, such Crystal Energy Guns were quite amazing.

As the name suggests, Crystal Energy Guns don’t use regular bullets but Crystal Cores. This gun can use Level 1 to 4 Crystal Cores currently. The higher the level of the Crystal Core used, the greater the power.
