Chapter 1415: Chapter 587: Three Thousand Tons of Food

Wang Tao glanced at the time; it was already night.

Facing the still extremely excited crowd, he smiled and said:

“It’s quite late. You all should go rest. Tomorrow I’ll take you to see that granary. Oh, by the way, my name is Wang Tao.”

These next few days, Wang Tao would be waiting for the Awakening Fruits to ripen. Since there wasn’t much else to do, he decided to help Zizhu Base solve the pressing issues they were facing.

“Yes, Lord Wang Tao!”

The crowd left with some excitement.

Although Wang Tao did not agree to become their leader, he promised to help them solve their problems. This was naturally great news for the entire base.

As for the matter of getting Wang Tao to be their leader, they still hadn’t given up. They planned to coax and pressure him a bit later on; after all, they couldn’t simply give up. Meeting a decent person with strong capabilities to lead was an opportunity that only came once in a blue moon; they had to grab onto it!

Not long after Zhao Yaru and the others had left, Wang Tao felt movement in his pocket.

Peep Peep–

Two small heads, one after the other, emerged from Wang Tao’s pocket and then immediately climbed onto his shoulder, excitedly indicating to Wang Tao that they had reached Level 5.

The two little martens had gotten slightly bigger, but overall, they still looked very small. It was hard to imagine these were two creatures at the Fifth-tier Lord Level.

However, being small had its benefits; they were very agile, and most attacks couldn’t hit them.

“Haha, not bad at all!”

Wang Tao laughed as he stroked the heads of the two little martens, then checked their attributes.

[HP: 500000/500000]

[Mana: 300000/300000]

[Level: Level 5, Lord]

[Awakening: Frost Shot]

Both martens had nearly identical attributes; both with five hundred thousand blood and three hundred thousand mana at Level 5, Lord. The only difference was their Awakened abilities; one had Frost Shot, and the other had Fire Blast.

“It seems that, in terms of HP, mutant beasts and zombies have more advantages over humans!”

Wang Tao couldn’t help but sigh.

After humans ascended, their HP and mana didn’t change much. But for creatures like mutant beasts and zombies, their HP and mana would double.

The two martens previously had two hundred fifty thousand HP, and after ascension, it became five hundred thousand. This meant they didn’t have to specifically work on boosting their HP; once they ascended to Level 6, their HP would be directly one million. Compared to humans, who still need to find ways to increase their HP, they had it much easier.

But then again, to this day, Wang Tao still hadn’t figured out exactly how mutant beasts evolved; their conditions for evolution were always different. Without grasping a precise rule for evolution, it wasn’t going to be easy for them to ascend to Level 6…

Peep Peep–

Both martens were excited; they wanted to demonstrate their newfound strength to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao repeatedly waved his hands in refusal.

“Let’s not for today. The underground space is limited and there are many ordinary people; if you start causing a commotion, you might endanger someone’s life. Let’s wait till tomorrow. If we encounter enemies then, I will give you a chance to show off.”

Peep Peep~

“Alright, I’m going to sleep now. See you tomorrow.”

Wang Tao waved his hand and lay down on the bed.

Although the two martens were excited, they didn’t run around and instead lay down obediently near Wang Tao’s pillow, acting as his scarf.

The next day, when Wang Tao woke up, Zhao Yaru and others were already waiting outside.

Many of them were so excited last night that they couldn’t sleep, but as Awakeners, even if injured, their physical fitness was quite robust and they wouldn’t feel tired.

“Priest Lord, I have prepared breakfast for you…”

As soon as Wang Tao opened the door, Zhao Yaru personally brought over a meal tray. It contained millet porridge, meat buns, and even dough sticks. They had also specifically prepared some meaty bones for Lightning.

Seeing a blue and a red adorable little creature on Wang Tao’s shoulder, Zhao Yaru and the rest were very curious, but they did not ask many questions. They simply assumed these were little pets Wang Tao kept with him.

The two martens may have spent a lot of time with Wang Tao and had become adept at hiding their aura; Zhao Yaru and the others didn’t realize that these were actually two Fifth-tier Lords.

“Hmm? The food here isn’t bad!”

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised to see the breakfast served by Zhao Yaru.

This breakfast might look simple, but it was something that couldn’t be found in Silver Serpent Base with a population of three to four hundred thousand; the fact that it was available in Zizhu Base meant their situation was rather good!

“Cough… We don’t have much of these left; they are emergency reserves…”

Zhao Yaru said in a somewhat embarrassed whisper.

After all, this was Wang Tao’s first meal at their place; they wanted to leave a good impression on him, so they brought out the emergency rations. Normally, their meals were much worse than this.

“I see…”

Wang Tao nodded and didn’t say much, quickly finished the breakfast, and then waved his hand, saying:

“Let’s go, we’ll go check out that granary.”

“Yes!”

Not many people followed Wang Tao this time; only Zhao Yaru and three others, as many were still severely injured from yesterday.

After leaving the Zizhu Base gate, Wang Tao whistled. Not long after, the giant Golden Eagle flew overhead.

Though it wasn’t the first time they had seen the Golden Eagle, Zhao Yaru still found it incredibly shocking, whether it was the Golden Eagle’s massive body or the aura of a Level 5, Lord it emanated, it was enough to awe anyone.

“Where did you rest last night?”

Wang Tao took out a large amount of Nutrient Solution to feed the Golden Eagle.

“Chiu~”

The Golden Eagle said it had stayed near the Awakening Tree to prevent other things from causing Destruction to the tree.
