Inquiring

Moreover, that weapon was a Pulse Energy Sword, which should have been incredibly cool, but unfortunately it fell before I even had a chance to fully appreciate it.

After reviewing the equipment, Wang Qianduo looked at two Perfect skill books. One was the Chain Lightning skill, which he was very familiar with, and the other was a fire-attribute support skill called Flame Command.

The effect of Flame Command is to increase the damage taken by the entire team by 10% and restore a certain percentage of their health after use.

These two skills have nothing to do with Wang Qianduo anymore. He couldn't possibly learn Chain Lightning a second time, and Flame Command is clearly Sister Hua's skill.

Aside from these things, there's not much else to say.

After sorting through the spoils, Old Wang was just about to contact his teammates to distribute the equipment when Security Officer Chi Xu approached him, saying that Old Huang wanted to see him.

"Old Huang wants to see me? Perfect, I was just about to go see him!" Wang Qianduo said after learning why Chi Xu had come.

Then he went to the command center with Chi Xu and met Old Huang, who was waiting for him.

Wang Qianduo came up without saying a word, just stared at him expressionlessly, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't look at me like that, you're the one who took this task!" Old Huang said helplessly.

"So you mean it's my fault? You don't really think I have to take on tasks from you, do you?" Wang Qianduo said seriously.

This experience taught him that he couldn't trust these NPCs too much. He was only weakened this time, but what about next time?

You have to understand that things in games can be applied to real life; what if he actually dies one time?

Therefore, if Old Huang doesn't give him a reasonable explanation this time, he won't accept any more covert missions.

The Hidden Quest is tempting, but Old Wang isn't the kind of person who'd gamble with his life.

Old Huang clearly sensed his dissatisfaction; this time, it was indeed their fault. After a moment's thought, he said directly:

"It was wrong of me to send you to test the Nether River this time; I really didn't expect it to take so much energy."

Old Huang's direct apology calmed Wang Qianduo down considerably, but that was about it.

"His consumption was more than just great; that one strike of Red Lotus Bloom almost drained me completely!" Wang Qianduo said.

"You can't even handle the consumption of this thing? It seems no one should even think about using it before level 30!" Old Huang said calmly.

Old Wang: "... So I really was just a guinea pig? Damn it!"

"Sorry, but do you want the Nether River weapon?"

"Of course I want it!" Old Wang said without hesitation. Despite his complaints, he was determined to find a way to get his hands on this cool piece of equipment.

"Wanting it won't help; you need an Interstellar Battleship with Starry Sky teleportation capabilities to carry this equipment."

"Even if I wanted to give it to you, I couldn't! Unless..." Old Huang said.

"You mean..."

"That's right! To make it up to you, I'm exactly what you think!"

However, I can only give you a one-time drawing; don't even think about getting the finished product.

"Those guys in the Alliance are practically fighting tooth and nail over this stuff!"

"I understand. I'll get an Interstellar Battleship that meets the requirements as soon as possible," Wang Qianduo said excitedly.

He couldn't help but be excited; the power of the Nether River had left a deep impression on him, and just because he couldn't handle it now didn't mean he wouldn't be able to handle it in the future.

Even if it's not far off, once he reaches level 20 and his Mecha evolves once more, he should be able to Perfect control this equipment.

It's not far off. After resolving the issues with the Demon Rat King and Demon Rat Star, he has already reached level 14, and is only one step away from level 15. Level 20 will only take two or three months.

Although Old Huang will provide blueprints, will Wang Qianduo lack materials?

"It seems the matter of the Interstellar Battleship needs to be put on the agenda!" Old Wang thought to himself.

"Alright, now that we've discussed the compensation, let's talk about the rewards!"

In recognition of your outstanding performance, the Alliance has decided to Military Rank you to the Military Rank Major.

"Go to the Quartermaster Office to collect your supplies for the Major. The Major can also apply for an Interstellar Flying Boat for fifty people. Go and choose one!" Old Huang continued as Wang Qianduo was thinking about the Interstellar Battleship.

"Okay! But what's the difference between this Interstellar Flying Boat and the Interstellar Battleship?" Wang Qianduo asked directly.

"The difference is huge! Although Interstellar Flying Boat can also travel extremely long distances, it's too dangerous and the cost is too high."

The maximum capacity of Interstellar Flying Boat is 50 people, while the smallest Interstellar Battleship, the Galaxy-class, can carry 10,000 people.

That wasn't mentioned, was it? Interstellar Battleship are actually used to carry interstellar spacecraft; even the smallest Interstellar Battleship can carry five Interstellar Flying Boat."

Old Huang gave Wang Qianduo a rough explanation, and Wang Qianduo nodded in understanding. To put it simply, it's just a matter of one being bigger than the other.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Old Wang left. As he walked out of Old Huang's place, he turned back...

Wang Qianduo didn't want to comment on Old Huang's approach of tricking him and then making up for it with a bunch of other things.

Sometimes, relationships can't be repaired with things. If Old Huang had just given him a single word of advice in this matter, Old Wang wouldn't have blamed him.

But he didn't. He knew perfectly well that this thing would have extra costs, yet he didn't even bother to warn him.

"Perhaps I've always given Old Huang the impression of being too greedy, or perhaps I'm just not strong enough!" Wang Qianduo thought.

He may have his thoughts, but he will continue working on the main storyline. However, he will no longer trust Old Huang as much in the future.

"Come on, everyone! Time to distribute the spoils!" After leaving the command post, Wang Qianduo did not go to collect his reward immediately.

Instead, they first gathered their teammates to discuss the distribution of equipment and items.

Legendary Shield naturally belonged to Old Wang; without him, it would have been impossible to defeat this Demon Rat King.

Moreover, everyone intends to arm him first in order to maintain his current absolute lead.

Then the 11 Perfect Equipment were divided among the group according to their needs. They consumed almost all of them, except for one piece of earth-attribute agility-type equipment that no one could wear.

Then there are the skills. Flame Command is obviously given to Sister Hua, but the difficult one is Chain Lightning.

Although Chain Lightning is an electric-attribute skill, it is a universal skill that anyone can learn.

"Roll it!"

Finally, Wang Qianduo made the final decision, saying that this skill would be an enhancement for anyone, so it all depends on luck.

However, Sister Hua and Xiao Hai gave up immediately. Sister Hua got a skill, and Xiao Hai got an extra piece of equipment compared to the others.

Currently, besides Old Wang, Xiao Hai actually has the best equipment in the entire team.

He hadn't even realized he had five Perfect Equipment, making his damage output absolutely explosive.

Even Old Wang wasn't confident he could withstand a full combo from him.

After the two of them gave up, the group threw the dice.

"1"

"19"

"100"

"71"

Finally, the Sword of Miracles used 100 points to instantly kill everyone else and gained this skill, for which he paid with a big meal.

"Brother Ma, how have you been these past few days?"

After the supplies were distributed, they went together to the Quartermaster. Wang Qianduo greeted him immediately upon seeing him.

Now that he has decided not to rely on General Huang's connections, he must build his own network within the Alliance.

"Not bad! Not bad! I haven't seen you in a few days, and you've been promoted again! Now you're my equal!" the Quartermaster said with a smile.

"Sigh~ This time it really cost me my life... Never mind, brother, I'm here to collect my stuff," Wang Qianduo said.

Wang Qianduo briefly mentioned the near-death experience to prevent the other party from becoming too jealous.

Old Ma agreed wholeheartedly; officers at the colonel level were no longer appointed at General Huang's whim.

He must have made significant contributions to reach this level.

Without asking any further questions, he led Old Wang to a warehouse and gave him everything that was due to his Military Rank.

"This is a colonel's uniform, this is your sidearm, the RX-35 Energy Pulse pistol, this is your identification and badge, these are your boots..."

There's quite a lot of stuff; enough for Wang Qianduo to change everything from head to toe.

Moreover, these items are all Rare-grade and are fashion equipment that adds attributes, so they are not easy to obtain.

However, none of these things were as good as what he had on him. Apart from taking the gun, Old Wang put everything else into his backpack.

"Brother Ma, I heard I have a Flying Boat?"

"Yes, here's the Flying Boat model diagram, take a look!"
