Inside Wang Hao's Villa
At this moment, Wang Hao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding the Blade of Plunder in his hand, eyes closed, attentively sensing it.
After three days of research, he had somewhat figured out some of the intricacies.
By gripping the dagger tightly and sensing carefully, he could indeed feel a faint energy flowing into his body.
This power, like a gentle stream, nourished his body, altering his physique.
Although the effect was minimal, it was indeed present.
"Isn't this too slow? This is not even as good as exercising on my own!"
Wang Hao expressed his slight disdain.
Even though guiding and cooperating with it wholeheartedly like this sped up the absorption compared to normal wearing,
it was only a relative improvement.
Overall, it was still too slow.
So slow that it was not even worth mentioning.
"Is it still necessary to go out and kill some spirit-infused creatures? But where are these spirit-infused creatures?"
Wang Hao began pondering about other functions.
Killing spirit-infused creatures, this should be the true purpose of the Blade of Plunder.
However, Wang Hao didn't know what creatures contained Spiritual Power.
Chickens, ducks, and fish, they probably don't count, do they?
Even if they do, it would take killing a thousand chickens to obtain the power of one, and even if he could find that many chickens, sitting there killing them every day would be pointless.
As for tigers, lions, elephants, he couldn't handle those either!
"Sigh... better to absorb Spiritual Qi honestly, in ten days or so the new guidance will appear, then I'll consider it."
Wang Hao pushed aside all sorts of thoughts in his mind, wanting to continue absorbing Spiritual Qi.
But as time passed, the Spiritual Qi in the house seemed to have almost been absorbed by him.
The effect was already poor, and now it was almost nonexistent.
"How about... opening a window to try?"
This thought had crossed Wang Hao's mind more than once.
Previously, he had always been on guard against the mist outside, and before the meteorite fell, he had activated the villa's internal air circulation system.
He had completely isolated the outside air.
After hearing the broadcast report about the toxicity of the mist, he became even more cautious.
He planned to keep the internal circulation going as long as the mist didn't clear.
But now, his cultivation was hindered.
He was considering whether to give it a try.
The villa had an air purification system.
There shouldn't be a big problem, but Wang Hao was still a bit uneasy.
"Forget it! It's not urgent anyway, I'll wait a bit longer!"
After some hesitation, Wang Hao once again abandoned the risk.
He couldn't afford to gamble.
If he had nothing to lose now, he'd certainly take the risk without hesitation.
But he had too much now, if he died, all of it would fall to others.
Wang Hao didn't want to gamble.
"Calling, owner of Building Twelve."
"Calling, owner of Building Twelve, respond if you hear this."
"Calling, owner of Building Twelve, respond if you hear this."
.....
A burst of noise suddenly came through the Bluetooth headset.
A flash of shock passed through Wang Hao's eyes.
He had prepared plenty of walkie-talkies, all mainstream brands.
And they had always been on.
His original intent was just to monitor people using walkie-talkies nearby.
After all, even though mobile communication was down, walkies were still functional.
With the heavy mist, the surveillance was useless.
He could only rely on walkie-talkies for some monitoring.
It was supposed to be a defensive measure only, but surprisingly they received a call directed at him.
And it was a woman's voice, a very pleasant, soft and sweet voice.
Hello there!
A woman is calling? Just like that?
Wang Hao furrowed his brows, walking towards the control room while sorting his thoughts.
The fact that the other party contacted him using a walkie-talkie meant she wasn't far away, and because she could call him accurately, most likely she was in the Blue Sky Villa District.
Moreover, this woman certainly knew some of his circumstances.
So should he respond?
Better respond!
Anyway, with the mist enveloping everything, visibility was nil outside; plus, his villa was heavily fortified, he wasn't scared.
Besides, the other party seemed aware he was in Building Twelve, so responding or not didn't make much difference.
Most importantly, he was too lonely.
Being alone without someone to talk to was very painful.
Previously, he could still converse with others online to pass the time.
Now with the network and even electricity cut, he was completely isolated from communication.
Because of the mist, Brother Wolf hadn't returned for a long time.
Wang Hao had experienced the terror of loneliness.
Now he really wanted someone to talk to, or he feared he might go insane.
He took a gentle breath, pressing the button on the walkie-talkie to speak.
"This is Building Twelve, where are you?"
"Oh? I changed only a few channels and got a response? Lucky!"
From the other side of the walkie-talkie came the surprised voice of a girl.
"Brother, brother, do you have enough energy over there? Is there any good food? Yaoyao is starving, Yaoyao wants meat and vegetables."
The girl was acting cutesy over the walkie-talkie.
This was classic coquetry talk, but Wang Hao didn't find it annoying at all.
He only found the girl very adorable and charming.
"Girls with pleasant voices aren't usually good-looking, girls with pleasant voices aren't usually good-looking..."
Wang Hao repeatedly hypnotized himself.
Warning himself not to be seduced by beauty.
"Hello! I'm a resident of the Moon Viewing Garden, my name is Lin Yuennan."
Another girl's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Although not as soft and adorably sweet as the previous girl, it was still clear and pleasant, just very cold.
"Moon Viewing Garden?"
Wang Hao mumbled.
Villas with names are the top tier.
The Moon Viewing Garden seemed to be...
Suddenly Wang Hao was shocked; the Moon Viewing Garden was that villa halfway up the hill, wasn't it?
That was the most expensive villa in the entire Blue Sky Villa District.
Heavens, had he just come across the rich and beautiful?
And there were two of them at once.
Wang Hao took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement:
"Hello! My name is Wang Hao, may I ask what's the matter?"
"I'll be direct then, we know a bit about your situation. You've stored a lot of supplies, and your villa is modified like a doomsday fortress. Our supplies and energy here are about to run out, and we'd like to stay with you."
Lin Yuennan stated her request in one breath.
"Yes, my energy and supplies are abundant, but why should I take you in?"
Wang Hao asked calmly.
He was indeed having some devious thoughts.
He wasn't too fond of this cold woman, but the cute little girl was great!
Now it depended on whether they were sensible or not.
"I am an active-duty soldier, serving in special forces. With the onset of disaster, as a citizen, you have an obligation to cooperate with my every action. I need to requisition your residence and the supplies inside now."
Lin Yuennan's voice wasn't loud but was very commanding, making it hard to refuse.
