Chapter 194: Blee133
Actually, there was also that incident with the Giant Insect; she watched helplessly as the Giant Insect came over, yet it died inexplicably. Later, the inspection said the Giant Insect's body had collapsed, and Li Hao was just completely lucky.
"Luo Bi, do you think a person can kill a Giant Insect without a Mecha?" Zhou Naiyi asked.
"Of course they can." Luo Bi smiled slightly, "However, when your power level isn't high enough, knowing too much isn't a good thing." Once the gap is too large, people will fall into despair.
Zhou Naiyi was speechless. Why was it that something she considered absolutely impossible was taken for granted by some people? This must be the gap in levels.
Luo Bi didn't say much more. With his power level, he couldn't see any potential or special traits in Zhou Naiyi; if it were him, he would have given up long ago. But he knew very well that his Second Brother valued Zhou Naiyi highly, so he dared not be the least bit negligent.
Only those who have seen the mountain peak will have reverence. He was moving toward that goal, which was also the purpose of his coming here; he had prepared for this day for a very, very long time.
After a long while, Zhou Naiyi raised her head, having completely regained her calm. "Team Leader Luo Bi, please instruct me."
Luo Bi smiled. "Let's begin!" Blee Task 133: Destroy "Crete Base", North Latitude 39°26', West Longitude 77°25'.
When Li Hao received the message, he was still scouting; naturally, he couldn't see the email, but his consciousness could perceive it because the Mobius Ring-shaped scar on his body possessed this function. Of course, with Li Hao's current ability, he could completely erase it, but there was simply no need.
He felt he couldn't keep digging blindly like this; it was too inefficient. He should explore the most concentrated areas of K23 first, even if it were a bit dangerous, so he could at least confirm some intelligence before dealing with it. Giant Insects also had territories, and there were many different types. In fact, apart from their common point of targeting Humans, their infighting was just as cruel. This was also the strange part to Li Hao, because according to the intelligence Kevin obtained, Humans encountered unified, coordinated strikes when entering Kepler, which showed that the connection between Giant Insect leaders was very smooth and they possessed communication capabilities. Yet, Li Hao had witnessed their infighting, especially how they liked to devour each other directly after killing.
His consciousness returned, and Li Hao stretched. After a moment, although he was very used to this operation, he still felt a bit dizzy every time he came back.
He drank some water and looked at the tasks. The previous tasks were mostly completed, but the speed of the Blee tasks couldn't keep up. It was very likely that Blee had completely miscalculated Li Hao's execution speed.
*Crete Base, huh? Doesn't seem to be in Tianjing. Damn it all. *
Li Hao dialed Kevin's encrypted phone number. "Help me investigate Crete Base, and by the way, see what relevant intelligence is on the black market."
"Haha: Old man, no need to investigate. How did they provoke you? If you flatten that place, it will be the number one big event of the Mid-Season Tournament." Kevin was excited.
"Stop drifting off-topic, what kind of place is it?"
"Hehe, a private biological experimental base. They say it's private, but it actually has a deep background and top-tier security measures. I once probed it and was almost caught. They definitely have New Humans. A leakage incident once allowed us to get our hands on it. I'll send you some pictures to look at," Kevin said.
Li Hao opened the pictures and was slightly stunned. "They use living people for experiments?"
"Most of them should be clones; I'm not sure if there are any normal people. It feels like there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do. Organ trading, virus experiments, New Human modification; recently they've also added Giant Insects, and in batches at that. It's simply insane. All their transactions are strictly screened and recorded, yet there's not a trace of them there. The power behind them is quite terrifying," Kevin said proudly.
"Alright, I know you're showing off again. Tell me, did you find out something?"
"Hehe, old man, you asked the right person. There aren't many people left alive who know about this organization, and I'm one of them. The nickname 'Slippery Mo Zi' isn't just for show. This organization is called the Nuoye Ark. Every generation's leader is codenamed Nuoye. They sell everything, from tickets to 'Heaven' to eternal life. It's said that from the old Moon days to the current Kepler landing, their shadows have been everywhere. How about it? Is it exciting or not?" Kevin was trembling a little. Such a behemoth, hidden behind the development of Humanity.
"Boss, are you going to declare war on them in the name of justice?"
"How many drinks did you have to get this drunk? War your face. I'm just a wage earner, just asking casually. Send over all the tasks related to Crete Base; I'll study them."
"Yes, sir!"
Kevin had been bored to death lately, and this was a major event.
Over at Tianjing Martial Arts, there were four teams and two situations. One side was fighting until smoke was practically rising; although it was just a training match, neither the Round Table Knights nor Tianxing Martial Arts wanted to lose. Both sides entered a stalemate in the team battle. In fact, everyone thought the Round Table Knights had a slightly better chance of winning, but in the end, Tianxing Martial Arts, led by Dita, won.
As for Tianjing and the Cougar, that goes without saying. Ma Long and the others were hammered by the Cougar. Only Zuo Xiaotang's performance was decent. In the Sniper duel, Zuo Xiaopang really had enviable talent. The opponent might have been more experienced, but they just couldn't beat Zuo Xiaotang. The little fatty's intuition was simply amazing, and he was also sneaky enough, perfectly fitting the needs of a Sniper. Moreover, training matches without pressure were especially suitable for him.
The others weren't so lucky. Wuzang was put through the wringer by Luo Bi. This training was different from the past; in previous training matches, Luo Bi would hold back, but this time, the Mad Lion displayed his strength as one of the Six Dragons, suppressing him throughout and directly crushing Wuzang.
Zhou Naiyi also lost to Laierxisi. Although it was a stalemate, Zhou Naiyi had wanted to take this match, but she still couldn't win.
Tianjing and the Cougar went first, which gave Tianjing a chance to watch. After watching the rhythm of the match between Tianxing Martial Arts and the Round Table Knights, Ma Long and the others felt a bit depressed; this was even more uncomfortable than losing.
Dita didn't gloat either. She knew that Tianxing and the Round Table Knights were evenly matched; who won or lost by a hair depended entirely on luck and their state on the day. And the reason she was able to win this time was entirely because of Li Hao.
After the last Mental Blast incident, her Mental Power had strangely increased. The increase in spirit would enhance the body's needs, and her physical bottleneck was broken through, which increased her overall strength by at least ten percent. This was crucial in the battle against Aofei, whereas before this, she couldn't beat Aofei.
What on earth did that guy Li Hao do to her?
She had to figure it out this time. Perhaps Aofei and Luo Bi coming here were also aiming for this.
This victory also greatly boosted the morale of Tianxing Martial Arts. Really, after seeing Dita lose to the Puppet, the team's confidence had actually been severely damaged. After all, they were ambitious and aiming to charge into the T0 teams. Losing to a player on EMP, no matter how you looked for excuses, couldn't be justified. They didn't know what Dita was thinking, nor could they understand it. How strong the Puppet was, there was no S Tournament record to rely on, and every Warrior, deep down, still firmly believed that only the gods of the S Tournament were the true gods.
The greater possibility was that Dita had become weaker, and as the soul of the team, this was definitely unacceptable.
But with the battle against Aofei, everyone regained their confidence. Alzi and the others had undisguised smugness on their faces. After all, she was the second-ranked figure; even if there was some element of chance, they had won, so the Team Leader hadn't become weaker!
But as Alzi and the others laughed, they suddenly couldn't laugh anymore. They suddenly thought of the Puppet. This person might also be a member of USE...
The evening was for tactical analysis. After dinner, everyone arrived. The purpose of training wasn't for a momentary victory, but for improvement. Everyone arrived except Li Hao and Dita.
Li Hao had been taken away by Dita as a prize.
Dita treated him to a meal and watched him wolf down his food. In the past, she had been very particular about etiquette; basically, girls from the Moon were quite concerned about appearance and details. For example, they didn't like boys who were loud or unkempt, but watching Li Hao eat was actually quite interesting.
After dinner, there were desserts and drinks. Dita let the waiter leave and closed the doors and windows. Outside was the beautiful night view of Tianjing.
"Dita, I'm so embarrassed to let you spend so much every time." Li Hao wiped his mouth with satisfaction. Actually, apart from being a bit annoying, Dita was a good person at heart.
"Is that so? How embarrassed are you? Why didn't I see even a hint of it?" Dita laughed.
"Sigh, it must be that I hid it too well." Li Hao laughed it off, not even blushing.
"I'm really curious, what did A Youyou see in you? She's not a pilot, so she shouldn't be able to appreciate your only..."
"... advantage. So what else do you have left?" Dita looked Li Hao up and down and asked.
"Good looks? Charm?" Li Hao thought for a moment. Dita couldn't help but chuckle. "Your silly, dazed humor counts as a point, I suppose. Still, I have to thank you. Although I don't know what method you used, my ability has indeed improved. Being able to defeat Aofei is all thanks to you."
"Ah, that has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything." Li Hao shook his head. Thinking about such things made him feel lingering fear; in fact, mining itself was also about strengthening control over power.
"You should have seen my battle against the Puppet, right?" Dita looked at Li Hao. "How did it feel?"
Li Hao nodded. "Quite fast."
Dita bit her little white teeth, looking fierce. "You really are asking for a beating!"
"You can't beat me." Li Hao waved his hand.
Dita suppressed the urge to strangle the other person. "I have a purpose for coming to Tianjing this time: to learn the Drawing Sword Technique. My specialty is speed and agility, but my lethality is insufficient. The Drawing Sword Technique, a fast and harvest-style move, is very suitable for me. Don't make excuses; let's negotiate terms. As long as you teach me seriously, whether I succeed or not, you state your requirements. Whether you need money or some intelligence on A Youyou, as long as I can cooperate, I will never refuse!"
With the Mid-Season Tournament approaching, Dita's inner desire for power was also constantly rising. Who could resist the charm of that one strike?
