Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure

Chapter 317 Armed
"what's going on?"

Everyone watched blankly as the iron beetle ate up the body of the two-tailed scorpion.They were all a little confused, and another situation beyond their understanding appeared!
"Mr. Wang, is this?"

Shang Heng was the first to come to his senses and asked quickly.

"Oh, it's nothing, just a small function of the Iron Beetle."

Wang Tao didn't explain much.

Because Gu Yun wanted to keep a secret and prevent him from showing the Iron Beetle's second function in front of everyone.

This iron beetle belongs to the city hall and Wang Tao. If they don't display it, others can't say anything.

Of course Wang Tao doesn't care. Since the partner has asked for it, he won't show it.

But it is not easy to hide the fact that the iron beetles eat the corpse, unless the corpse is taken back to the car and secretly fed to the iron beetles.But it's not a shameful thing, and there's no need to do it secretly.

And he also wanted to know what the iron beetle would look like after its second function was activated.

When everyone saw Wang Tao's unwillingness to say anything, they immediately became anxious.

The image of Wang Tao in their hearts is now equivalent to that of a "know-it-all". Some of the things Wang Tao said are very important knowledge points!

If they didn't see it, forget it. Now that they have seen it and Wang Tao doesn't tell them, isn't it equivalent to telling them: I also know a good thing, but I just won't tell you!

Can this be tolerated?Obviously I can't bear it!
So, several people immediately looked at Gu Yun.

This thing that Wang Tao deliberately concealed was obviously indicated by Gu Yun!Judging from their contact with Wang Tao during this period, Wang Tao is not a stingy person, especially when it comes to knowledge. Wang Tao is happy to answer everyone's questions.

"What are you looking at me doing!"

Being stared at fiercely by three awakened people, Gu Yun suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

But for himself and City Hall, he still has to try to keep some cards in hand.

Within the Changhe base, the forces are intertwined and very complex.

The one with the greatest status and power is naturally the committee.But the committee is not one person, but consists of 23 members.

When there are too many people, it is basically difficult to stay on the same page.They may be consistent in the general direction, but they definitely have their own selfish motives.Because many committee members have their own power, the committee is everyone’s committee, but power is only their own power...

As for the committee, they obviously can't do everything themselves.The base needs to operate, and it's obviously not possible to rely on just 23 of them.

There has to be an agency that carries out their orders, and that's City Hall.

The City Hall is the highest executive authority of the entire base. It is responsible for all major and minor matters within the base.

But if you want to get the hundreds of thousands of people in the base to listen to the city hall, you definitely can't just talk the talk, you have to have authority.

Power is naturally given by the committee, while prestige is real power. For example, the police department, city defense army and other violent agencies that maintain the security and stability of the Changhe base take orders from the city hall.

But now is the end of the world, there are so many zombies and monsters outside... so we still need to have external combat capabilities.

And this external combat power is the six major legions.

According to the current rules of Changhe Base, the city hall is half a level higher than the six legions, so theoretically they can be mobilized.But there are two commissioners in every legion.The committee members are higher than the city hall...

So on the surface, the Six Corps is lower than the City Hall, but in fact, the City Hall has no power to mobilize the Six Corps and can only discuss or apply to the committee.

Likewise, City Hall is unable to mobilize other large forces, not even committees.Because large forces are private and not under the control of the committee.Of course, if the committee really wants to take control, it can definitely do so. After all, it is the highest authority.But the problem is that every large force has a committee member, and those committee members are all private forces...

Therefore, although the major forces in Changhe Base are a whole, they are all independent individuals.There is cooperation, competition, and defense among them.

As the Secretary-General of the City Hall, Gu Yun does not directly serve the committee, but serves the mayor. Although the mayor is appointed by the committee, this level cannot be exceeded.

From his standpoint, City Hall must be considered first.The city hall must keep something of its own and cannot say everything to the outside world.

Wang Tao has already introduced the second function of this iron beetle, "arming", to Gu Yun. Gu Yun simply understood it as: after a fourth-level superpower is armed with this fourth-level iron beetle, he may become the strongest in the fourth level. combat power!

So this is a very powerful trump card that cannot be said lightly.Even if he was finally forced to speak out under pressure, he still hoped that the other party would give something, otherwise it would be difficult for him to do business!

However, the more he refused to let Wang Tao talk, the more others felt that this was a very important matter, and the more they wanted to know!
These people didn't make things difficult for Wang Tao, they all caught Gu Yun and started to tease him.

Wang Tao was not interested in Gu Yun and the others' pull. He looked at the new attributes of the iron beetle.

[Level [-] weapon·Iron beetle]

[HP: 50000/50000 (upper limit 100000)]

[Status: Awakenable]

[Amplification: independent attack, armament (health, attack, defense)]

[Fitness: 1%]

[Independent attack: You can follow the master’s orders to attack alone]

[Armed: Covers the owner's whole body, and increases blood volume, attack, and defense attributes]

The iron beetle used to have a health volume of 1, but now it has directly increased to 5!This is equivalent to saving 50 fourth-order crystal cores!
Then its armed attributes were also activated, adding three attributes: blood volume, attack, and defense.

This is similar to the entangling tree roots, but the entangling tree has an additional fire resistance attribute.

Of course, the growth rate of this iron beetle is definitely much stronger than that of entangled tree roots.After all, it is the third-order and fourth-order difference.

Wang Tao wanted to try the effect of this armored beetle weapon, but since he promised Gu Yun not to tell him, he naturally stopped thinking.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Tao briefly took a look at the gains from killing the two-tailed scorpion.

The first is advanced special energy +1 and awakening key +1.He now has 28 advanced special powers and 13 awakening keys.

Then Wang Tao calmly put the contents of the magical stomach into the space backpack.

[Obtain: Level 2·Venomous Tail Sting*[-]]

[Obtain: Level 2·Monster Power Giant Claw*[-]]

[Obtain: Awakening Energy Bead*1]

[Obtain: Level [-] Crystal Core·Psychic Defense]

An energy bead, a purple spiritual defense crystal core and two materials.And both materials have incidental properties!

[Level [-]·Venomous Tail Sting: Production material, which can increase the poison attribute of equipment]

[Level [-]·Monster Claw: Production material, which can increase the equipment’s knockback property]

Wang Tao has seen the poison attribute, but this is the first time he has seen the knockback attribute. He can't wait to see the finished equipment.

Then there’s the Twin-Tailed Scorpion’s loot package.

There were very few packages this time, only three.

The first crystal core gift pack contains 6 crystal cores.They are red [Level [-] Crystal Core·Promotion], purple [Level [-] Crystal Core·Almighty], red [Level [-] Crystal Core·Awakening], purple [Level [-] Crystal Core·Defense], and blue [ Fourth-order crystal core·Psychic shock], white [Fourth-order crystal core·Physical improvement].

Although there is not even an orange crystal core, there is no shortage of promotion, omnipotence and awakening.Seeing this powerful crystal core, Wang Tao thought it could be sold to Qide?He seems to be lacking this kind of crystal core...

The second loot package contains the Entity Awakening Key.

[Get Awakening Key*1]

This made Wang Tao a little surprised. He had used 4 physical awakening keys for Lan Yulian and others before, and now he has 4 more keys with this one!But the promotion core in his hand is not enough. Now he only has one promotion core, which he just got, and he still has to kill zombies!
The last loot package naturally contained blueprints.

[Obtain: Poisonous Scorpion Whip Production Drawing*1]

[Obtain: Blueprint for making strange force pliers*1]

【毒蝎鞭制作图纸：可以制作两根毒蝎鞭。所需材料：四阶剧毒尾刺*2，四阶晶核*2，铁块*30、锋刃*30、钢丝*30、螺丝*30、钉子*30、橡胶*30】

[Poison Scorpion Whip: Unknown attributes]

【怪力钳制作图纸：可以制作两把怪力钳。所需材料：四阶怪力巨螯*2，四阶晶核*2，铁块*30、锋刃*30、钢丝*30、螺丝*30、钉子*30、橡胶*30】

[Strange force pliers: unknown attributes]

These two production drawings can produce four pieces of equipment.Both pieces of equipment are obviously two-handed.

"interesting……"

Wang Tao was almost ready to make it on the spot, but it was obviously not suitable now, so he could only hold back and talk about it when he went back.

"Mr. Wang?"

At this time, Wang Tao saw a small hand shaking in front of him.

"Ms. Qu, what's wrong?"

Wang Tao turned his head. "I see you are in a daze, are you okay?"

Qu Shilin asked with some concern.

"I'm fine, thank you Ms. Qu for your concern."

Wang Tao smiled and thanked him.

"That's good. By the way, can you let me see your stomach pouch? This is the first time I've seen such a magical thing."

Qu Shilin said immediately.

"Of course it's no problem, but I have a lot of things in it and it's a little messy. I'll show you a new one."

The contents of the magical stomach pouch were transferred to the space backpack by Wang Tao, but Qu Shilin had just witnessed Wang Tao put the materials into the stomach pouch, so it was not easy to explain, so she simply took out a new one.

Naturally, Qu Shilin didn't want to see the contents of the magical stomach pouch, she simply wanted to see the stomach pouch itself.Now that she heard that Wang Tao had a new one, she was a little excited.

If Wang Tao only had one, it would probably be difficult for her to get it.But Wang Tao still has a new one in his hand, so the difficulty will definitely be reduced!

After receiving the stomach bag from Wang Tao, she quickly learned how to operate it under Wang Tao's guidance.

"It's amazing too!"

Qu Shilin looked in amazement as the cockroach ointment in her hand went in and out of her stomach.
"Okay."

Wang Tao likes to see others as they have never seen the world.

Qu Shilin didn't care about Wang Tao's faint pretense. After studying for a while, she asked directly:

"Mr. Wang, are you selling this stomach pouch? I want to buy it!"

Qu Shilin is also very honest and doesn't beat around the bush.

"There...there are very few zombies with this kind of magical stomach pouch. I'm just lucky when I encounter them..."

Wang Tao looked embarrassed.

But Qu Shilin's face lit up.Because Wang Tao didn't refuse directly, there is still a chance!

"Mr. Wang, you also said that this can only hold food and other things, and its use must be limited, and most of the things are actually kept at home..."

Qu Shilin started to tease her, and finally she patted her chest and said:
"Mr. Wang, please make an offer and I promise not to counter-offer!"

This tone, rich woman!
"This...this is really not a question of money..."

Wang Tao's face seemed a little relaxed.

"Ten thousand, twenty thousand, or fifty thousand?"

Qu Shilin started bidding.

Wang Tao is actually not very clear about the purchasing power of this crystal coin. After all, he has not done much shopping in the past few days since he came to Changhe Base.

And he couldn't raise the price randomly. Qu Shilin's ability and identity were here. He wanted to do long-term business with the other party, not a one-time deal.

After thinking for a while, Wang Tao sighed and said:

"I didn't want to sell it originally, but it was fate that we met in the apocalypse. I also admire Ms. Qu's scientific research contributions very much... Otherwise, let's not talk about money or not. Look. See if there is anything in your hand that I need, and I will use my magical stomach pouch to exchange it with you."

When Qu Shilin heard this, she was happy at first, then frowned and said:

"I don't seem to have anything valuable in my hands, just a few power armors—"

"That's it, I need a power armor!"

Before Qu Shilin finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had wanted to buy a powered armor for fun before, but he never had time to go to the city center.Since Qu Shilin has it here, that’s just right.

"A powered armor? Okay! Let's exchange contact information, and I'll have someone send it to you later!"

Qu Shilin immediately took the magic stomach bag and happily exchanged contact information with Wang Tao.

As for the model of the power armor, Qu Shilin didn't say anything. Wang Tao didn't understand and didn't ask any questions.He simply wanted to get one to play with, after all, this was his childhood dream!Moreover, the addition of power armor to level [-] superpowers may have a strong increase in combat power!

When both of them felt that they had made a profit, Gu Yun came over.

"Oh, there is no other way. Please show Mr. Wang the iron beetle to them. They promised to pay some viewing fees - you will also have a share. I have an explanation with the city hall..."

Gu Yun spoke helplessly.

If possible, he definitely wanted to hide the armed function of the Iron Beetle... He just hoped that the armed ability Wang Tao mentioned was relatively low-key, so that others could not tell the truth.

"Viewing fee? Okay!"

Wang Tao nodded.

He was a little surprised about the viewing fee, but he didn't care.But he is also very curious about this armed ability and has wanted to try it for a long time.

Everyone gathered around and looked at Wang Tao expectantly.

They only knew that the thing Gu Yun tried hard to hide was related to the iron beetle, but they didn't know exactly what it was.

Of course, they are not stupid. If Gu Yun fools them casually, they will definitely be able to tell.

"Get a fourth-order crystal core to improve the fit."

Wang Tao said to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun or the city hall obviously wanted this iron beetle, and Wang Tao naturally wanted it too, but there was only one thing and it was impossible to split it into two halves.

As for the shares of this iron beetle, the city hall holds more shares than Wang Tao.After all, the city hall took out a meteorite and an epic crystal core.Wang Tao only took one epic crystal core.Then Wang Tao will definitely not be able to compete with the city hall. The rules were clearly stated in the previous contract.

Seeing how seriously Gu Yun attached importance to the iron beetle, Wang Tao no longer planned to fight and simply gave it to them. There was no need to quarrel with them.

Of course, if it is given to the city hall, the city hall will definitely give Wang Tao corresponding compensation.And the more powerful the iron beetle is, the greater the compensation will be.

So Wang Tao was ready to test how strong this iron beetle was.

It is definitely not possible to nourish the iron beetle to the upper limit of blood volume. After all, 50 fourth-order crystal nuclei are needed. The crystal nuclei prepared by Gu Yun are all star meteorites, so he cannot produce so many for the time being.

But it is still possible to improve the compatibility of the iron beetle. This does not require many crystal cores. One fourth-order crystal core can increase the compatibility to 100%.

Since Wang Tao planned to give up the iron beetle to the city hall, it was naturally impossible for him to take advantage of the crystal core.

Anyway, it wasn't because he didn't feel bad about his own crystal core, so Wang Tao directly asked Gu Yun for a fourth-order crystal core.

After everyone saw Wang Tao feeding the white fourth-order crystal core handed over by Gu Yun to the iron beetle, they suddenly looked forward to it.

It seems that Gu Yun didn't lie to them. This consumes a fourth-order crystal core. It must be a very powerful thing!
After a while, the iron beetle completed the fusion of the fourth-order crystal core, and the fit reached 100%. Then, Wang Tao smiled at everyone and said:
"This is the Iron Beetle's second ability, armed."

While speaking, Wang Tao was already mentally ordering the armored beetles to activate their weapons.

The palm-sized iron beetle suddenly expanded and became larger after it landed on the ground.

When the Iron Beetle was allowed to attack independently before, it was about the same size as Lightning.

Now I don’t know if it’s because the health volume has reached 5, or if the weapon is just like this – the iron beetle suddenly became as big as a car!

And the appearance has become even more ferocious than before!
Amidst the exclamations of everyone, the abdomen of this ferocious iron beetle suddenly split open, and a human-shaped depression appeared.Then it pounced directly on Wang Tao's back. The cracked depression in its abdomen was just enough to accommodate Wang Tao's body, completely covering Wang Tao.

In a burst of "clicking" sound, the body of the iron beetle squirmed and deformed rapidly.In the blink of an eye, it turned into a two-story tall, burly figure with a carapace on his back and a faint yellow light in his eyes!
"Oh my God……"

Everyone looked up and opened their mouths.

"What is that!"

The soldiers in the distance looked at this "monster" in shock.

"The iron beetle's second ability is to be armed."

Wang Tao spoke.

His voice seemed to be emitted through certain organs of the iron beetle, and it was completely different from his original voice.Hoarse, depressing, and terrifying!

Qi De, Huang Wu and Zhou Long, the three awakened ones, had never felt any pressure on Wang Tao before.

But now, a huge sense of oppression is coming!

They even felt that they were no match for Wang Tao!
