Chapter 945: Chapter 374 Proficient Direction (Seeking Double Monthly Tickets)_2

Wang Tao thought this was pretty good—it was a win-win-win situation.

Of course, there was a premise that exploring the cave had to be profitable… if it didn’t make money, then all discussions were moot.

“It’s good to have City Hall involved; it reassures everyone.”

Wang Tao said with a smile.

“Yes. I feel that this exploration might be one of the biggest events since the base was established.”

Qu Shilin looked excited.

She had heard that the cave contained many valuable items and some bizarre creatures, she was eager to obtain some samples for research!

The second floor had a large exhibition hall belonging to the Hope Research Institute, and Qu Shilin led Wang Tao there directly.

“You guys have a lot of stuff!”

Displayed here were various items: mechanical exoskeletons, powered armor, weapons, potions, vehicles—everything was available, including the Night Demon Hearts that were likely all from Wang Tao.

Wang Tao had mentioned wanting to get a powered armor for fun before, and later Qu Shilin offered to gift him one, although it wasn’t ready yet, so she asked Wang Tao to wait.

He had waited so long he almost forgot about it, but seeing the powered armor now suddenly reminded him.

Although Qu Shilin was a research scientist, she was also highly empathetic. Seeing Wang Tao’s gaze fixed on the powered armor, she suddenly slapped her forehead.

“Ah, I’m sorry, the powered armor I promised you last time—I forgot…”

It wasn’t really that she had forgotten; mainly, she had been busy heading the team making a mechanical body for Xiang Hongbin during that time, pushing other projects to the back. She hadn’t forgotten initially, but as work piled up, it gradually slipped her mind.

“Wang Tao, you pick one; I can still make this decision!”

Qu Shilin said to Wang Tao again.

“I’ll take a look first.”

Wang Tao followed Qu Shilin inside.

The institute’s exhibition hall was vast, and many people gathered around it. Seeing Qu Shilin bringing someone in, her colleagues grew curious.

“Hello! I’m Wang Tao, from the Starfire Society.”

Wang Tao greeted them with a smile.

While they weren’t familiar with the name Wang Tao, they had heard of the Starfire Society. After all, it was one of the forces that had first killed a Fourth-Order Disaster-level monster, so it was quite famous.

“Hello!”

The group introduced themselves to each other.

Then Qu Shilin suggested that Wang Tao pick a powered armor, and no one objected, clearly affirming Qu Shilin’s authority to make such decisions.

“Mr. Wang, may I show you around?”

A thin middle-aged man asked with a smile.

His name was Jiang Wenyou, as he had just introduced himself.

“Old Jiang is our institute’s best researcher on powered armor!”

Qu Shilin explained with a laugh.

In the Hope Research Institute, these scientific personnel were generally referred to as researchers. Each researcher focused on specific areas, as everyone’s energy was limited. Jiang Wenyou specialized in powered armor.

“Okay!”

Wang Tao nodded and then curiously asked.

“By the way, I still don’t know what your specialty is?”

Upon hearing Wang Tao’s question, Qu Shilin shrugged.

“I used to specialize in biotechnology.”

Wang Tao nodded and then asked,

“So, the Crystal Energy guns, Crystal Energy cars, powered armor…”

“Those are just side projects I did in my spare time, not my main work.”

“…”

Well, that’s the whim of a big shot!.

Before, Qu Shilin thought she had underestimated Wang Tao, and now Wang Tao felt he had underestimated Qu Shilin as well.

Wang Tao had never used the powered armor crafted by Qu Shilin, but he had tried both the Crystal Energy Gun and the Crystal Energy Car, and found them very useful. He thought that Qu Shilin and her team had spent a long time researching and producing them, only to hear her say they were made haphazardly?

Seeing the surprise in Wang Tao’s eyes, Qu Shilin nonchalantly waved her hand.

“Hey, you might have misunderstood. Those Crystal Energy Guns and cars, I just used blueprints and copied them, it’s nothing really special.”

When Qu Shilin said this, before Wang Tao could react, Jiang Wenyou and a few others around them laughed.

Jiang Wenyou spoke:

“Mr. Wang, what Professor Qu said is correct, but not entirely. Indeed, those crystal energy devices were made with the help of blueprints. However, Professor Qu was involved in creating those blueprints!”

Wang Tao immediately gave a thumbs up.

He secretly complained, how could Qu Shilin be as fond of keeping a low profile as he was!

Qu Shilin gave them a speechless look. To Qu Shilin, such collaboration in developing blueprints seemed quite normal and nothing to boast about. If she could independently develop some results, that would be truly impressive. For instance, the mechanical body she crafted for Xiang Hongbin, which was developed by her team alone, that was something she was proud of…

“Mr. Wang, this way, please…”

Jiang Wenyou moved to a powered armor and began introducing it to Wang Tao.

Jiang Wenyou introduced them in great detail, and faced with Wang Tao’s inquiries, he showed no impatience but was rather pleased, since this was the powered armor he had designed and manufactured, and he loved his work.

Following his extensive introduction, Wang Tao gained a general understanding of the functions of these powered armors.

They came in various models, each with some differences in functions, but broadly they could be categorized into four types: Speed, Attack, Defense, and Omnipotent.

The Speed type of powered armor was lighter, and once it accelerated, most zombies couldn’t catch up.

The Attack type of powered armor was heavy, not very high in defense, but bristled with weapons, its bursting power extremely fearsome.

The Defense type of powered armor was very heavy with strong defensive capabilities, able to withstand the onslaught of a horde of zombies.

The Omnipotent type of powered armor was not outstanding in any particular area but was not lacking either, very balanced. This type was versatile with a high error tolerance, and it was the model with the highest possession rate.

Duan Xuchang and Cheng Yiyi wore the Omnipotent type of powered armor.

After looking around for a while, Wang Tao chose an Attack type powered armor.

The reason was simple, because Wang Tao liked the machine guns, grenades, and rocket launchers mounted on the mecha.

“This powered armor consumes a lot, but I guess Mr. Wang isn’t short of money… here’s the key.”

Jiang Wenyou handed over something that looked like a car remote control.

The powered armor was bound with personal identity information, meaning only Wang Tao could use it once bound. To switch users, one must come to the Hope Research Institute to unbind and then rebind it.

The reason it was so restrictive was naturally because the weapon was too powerful; if it were stolen, the consequences would be severe.

Due to the limited space here, it was impossible to test it out. Wang Tao could take it out for a test tomorrow; he was quite fond of this big toy.

At that moment, Jiang Wenyou spoke again:

“Does Mr. Wang need us to deliver it? If delivery is needed, it might have to wait because we’ve had a rush sale today, and the few trucks we prepared beforehand aren’t enough… But the Starfire Society has an exhibition hall here as well, you could also use your Starfire Society vehicle to take it back…”

“Huh? The Starfire Society’s exhibition hall?”

Wang Tao was puzzled.

The Starfire Society had only a few members, besides him, everyone else was at his villa, how could they possibly have an exhibition hall.

Wang Tao looked to Qu Shilin, Qu Shilin shook her head, she didn’t know either.

“Mr. Wang isn’t aware? It’s right over there…”

Jiang Wenyou pointed in a direction, but because there were too many people blocking the view, Wang Tao couldn’t see what was happening there.

Seeing Jiang Wenyou’s serious demeanor, Wang Tao frowned.

Could it be that someone was using the Starfire Society’s name to swindle others? This he could not tolerate!

“I really didn’t know, I’ll have a look…”

Without changing his expression, Wang Tao immediately walked toward the direction Jiang Wenyou had indicated.

Moments later, Wang Tao saw the exhibition hall of the Sixth Army Corps. Next to the Sixth Army Corps’ sign hung a sign for the Starfire Society.

There were only two staff members, not a single visitor, and the place looked quite deserted.
