NOVEL NEXT Chapter 611 - 254: Sense of Security_3
These were all abilities that Wang Tao had seen before. Among them, this Extreme Speed Ability made for a total of two now, just one more, and he could synthesize it with Iron Wall!
The second Loot Pack contained potions.
[Acquired: Eyesight Potion (Small) x10]
[Acquired: Attack Speed Potion (Small) x10]
[Acquired: Mental Potion (Small) x10]
The potions were also pretty good, it was just a shame there were none to increase Permanent Attributes.
The third Loot Pack... also had clothes, but this time there were two sets.
[Acquired: Combat Suit x1]
[Acquired: Work Uniform (Army) x1]
[Combat Suit: Durability +10, Anti-Tear +10]
[Work Uniform (Army): Durability +10, Anti-Tear +10]
One was a Combat Suit, the other was an everyday uniform.
Honestly, the two sets were pretty stylish, especially the Work Uniform for everyday wear. However, he didn’t need them for now, maybe he would wear them sometime in the future.
The last Loot Pack contained a Blueprint.
[Acquired: Air Bullet Rifle Blueprint x1]
[Air Bullet Rifle Blueprint: Can be used to craft a rifle that shoots Air Bullets, required materials: Level 3 Crystal Core x1, Random Rifle x1, Blade x10, Steel Wire x10, Screw x10, Nails x10, Rubber x10]
Air Bullet Rifle? Does that mean that the rifle crafted from this would work like the Air Bullet Ability?
Wang Tao had all these materials and after a trip to the bathroom, he managed to craft the gun.
Seeing Wang Tao coming over with a peculiar looking firearm aroused some curiosity in the others, but they didn’t ask too much.
After all, they were used to Wang Tao occasionally producing some novel items.
"This is a gun that can shoot Air Bullets, something that the Zombie Lord dropped," Wang Tao said casually before turning to look at the gray rifle.
This rifle looked nothing like ordinary guns; it resembled the toy water guns he played with as a child.
Wang Tao stepped outside to test it and found that it indeed could shoot Air Bullets, similar to the sensation the zombies gave him, more powerful than ordinary firearms, and without much noise.
But there was one problem: the reloading was too slow!
To be precise, it didn’t need bullets, but it required charging. The gun had a charging device inside; only after it was fully charged could it shoot.
And each charge took a whopping thirty seconds!
That meant it could only shoot twice a minute!
If it was for a sneak attack or a long-distance snipe, it should be viable. But for direct combat, definitely not.
Wang Tao handed the gun to He Jijun and explained its functions.
"Old He, before you can fuse the Air Bullet Ability, why don’t you make do with this gun?"
If the gun’s charging speed was a bit faster, Wang Tao might use it, but the speed was just too slow!
Just to put it in perspective, Wang Tao could shoot an arrow every second with his hand crossbow, whereas the Air Bullet gun took thirty seconds for a single shot.
Moreover, Wang Tao’s battles were generally very swift. Like the Zombie Lord he killed today, it took less than a minute. With the gun’s charging speed, it was questionable whether he could use it twice in a battle...
"For me? Alright!" He Jijun’s eyes lit up.
He was quite interested in the gun, although the charging was slow, he could use it as a sniper rifle. Silent and deadly, it would certainly be amazing for sniping!
He Jijun couldn’t wait to try it out on the shooting range.
Wang Tao said to the others,
"I’m going to rest now."
He had been running around outside all day, with his spirit highly focused and using his Perception Ability extensively, so he was somewhat exhausted.
"Okay."
Yang Changhong had wanted to discuss life with Wang Tao that evening. After all, she had been quite tense lately and needed some relaxation. But seeing Wang Tao looking a bit weary, she held back and cursed herself silently for her lack of shame before hastily retreating to her own room.
Wang Tao hadn’t mentioned anything about Jiang Shixue regaining her memory to anyone else, since they were unaware of Jiang Shixue’s condition and her amnesia, there was no need for Wang Tao to tell them. Therefore, when they saw Jiang Shixue following Wang Tao back to his room, they weren’t surprised, assuming in their minds that Wang Tao must have some intimate relationship with Jiang Shixue...
And seeing Jiang Shixue, who was lowering her head and following him, Wang Tao’s eyebrows raised slightly.
He had arranged a room for Jiang Shixue and thought that after regaining her memory, she would go to her own room.
Feeling Wang Tao’s gaze, Jiang Shixue spoke with a blush on her face,
"Ahem, I’ve gotten used to this bed..."
She indeed was used to it, not the bed per se, but being by Wang Tao’s side.
Every time Jiang Shixue remembered her befuddled memories after regaining her memory, she felt terrified. It was hard to understand without experiencing it oneself. In simple terms, it was the feeling of "watching herself slowly turn into a zombie, yet being unable to do anything about it."
That feeling was too frightening, and though she was now safe, she still shuddered at the thought.
But being by Wang Tao’s side gave her a sense of security. After all, Wang Tao had saved her from being turned into a zombie and the two had depended on each other for so long...
"Okay,"
Wang Tao ruffled Jiang Shixue’s hair.
He could tell that Jiang Shixue seemed to be afraid. Certainly not afraid of the present, but perhaps she was recalling some upsetting memories.
But Wang Tao didn’t press further, knowing she would speak up when ready.
Wang Tao took a shower, then vigorously petted Lightning. The dog’s fur was so comfortable to touch that it was hard to stop once he started.
After Jiang Shixue finished washing up, Wang Tao finally lay down on the bed.
Jiang Shixue lay beside Wang Tao, holding one of his arms, breathing in his scent, and feeling extremely secure. Before long, she drifted off into a deep sleep.
Wang Tao wasn’t in a rush to fall asleep; instead, he extracted the Ability with Special Energy and fused the Air Bullet.
"A 95% chance of successful fusion with Mastery Fusion for the Air Bullet? Just as I expected!"
