Chapter 177: Chapter ill Please Do Me a Favor 1, Translator: 549690339 | —, “Where am I…?”, Wang Tao woke up in a daze, looking at the ceiling above him, feeling somewhat familiar., “You finally woke up!”, Han Rui’s voice sounded from beside him. Wang Tao turned his head and saw not only Han Rui but also another woman with a familiar face., “Li Qiuyu?”, “Good afternoon, Mr. Wang…”, Li Qiuyu said with a smile., Only then did Wang Tao realize that Han Rui had taken him to Li Qiuyu’s house. He politely said:, “I’ve troubled Ms. Li.”, “It’s no trouble at all, Little Rui even helped me clear out the zombies around here!”, Li Qiuyu tucked her hair., It had to be said, although Li Qiuyu was in her thirties or forties, she had not lost any of her charm from her younger days and was perhaps even more elegant now. Even a casual movement was filled with feminine allure. Especially now, she was wearing a white silk slip dress. The hazy temptation made one greatly desire to take a closer look., Wang Tao couldn’t help but glance over several times until Han Rui stealthily pinched him, and then Wang Tao very naturally turned his head away., “How long did I sleep?”, “About three hours… It’s now eight o’clock in the evening.”, Han Rui said, glancing at her watch., Wang Tao nodded. To sleep for three hours for every thousand HP?, That’s a pretty pitiful mechanism. If you are outdoors without teammates, that would be too dangerous…, Since Mr. Wang is awake now. I’ll go to sleep first…”, Li Qiuyu nodded to them, then left., After she was gone, Han Rui gave Wang Tao a glare, but said nothing., Wang Tao wrapped his arm around Han Rui’s slim waist and said with slight helplessness:, “You know, every time my strength increases, my whole body’s energy becomes extremely vigorous…”, Afterward., Han Rui lay on Wang Tao’s chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat. Wang Tao stroked her hair, but his thoughts were no longer on Han Rui’s body. Instead, they were on his own body., After his HP had increased to two thousand, he felt that his physical fitness had greatly improved. Maybe by about 20%? Wang Tao wasn’t sure, but the feeling of improvement was intoxicating, and he really liked it., As for whether he could now fuse with a fourth type of Crystal Core… Wang Tao felt like he might be able to!, However, he still hadn’t collected enough Self-healing Crystal Cores, so he had to wait a bit longer., Although Wang Tao had collected a few more Rush Crystal Cores and even fused with another Orange Epic Rush Crystal Core, he wasn’t planning to use it yet., Because after his HP had increased to 2000, Wang Tao’s Perception of his own body’s condition had become much sharper. He could feel that he could only fuse with four types of Crystal Cores for now., He didn’t know if it would increase in the future, but for now, he felt he could only fuse with four types., And since he had already fused with three types of Crystal Cores, he had to be more cautious with the fourth type., Wang Tao was quite satisfied with the first three Crystal Cores: a Shockwave that attacked a range, Toughness with super-strong Defense, and Precision Shooting that enhanced long-range Attack capabilities., Two attack Abilities, one life-saving Ability., If he added another Rush Ability, it would definitely enhance his Combat, Power, but it would slightly lack in self-preservation., But if he acquired another Self-healing Crystal Core, it would be much safer. Surviving in the post-apocalyptic world isn’t like playing a game; you only have one life, so it’s better to be safe., Wang Tao pulled out an Orange Crystal Core and brought it to Han Rui’s lips., “Ah?”, Han Rui was stunned for a moment before she quickly looked at Wang Tao., “Open your mouth.”, “Mm—”, Wang Tao stuffed the Crystal Core into Han Rui’s mouth., Han Rui’s eyes widened., “An Orange Rush Crystal Core? You… you still have more? Why are you giving it to me again, don’t you need it for yourself…”, Han Rui had been with Wang Tao for the past few days, and she remembered that Wang Tao hadn’t obtained any Orange Crystal Cores, right?, And didn’t Wang Tao say he would keep a Rush Crystal Core for his own use? Why give it to her then?, Wang Tao looked at Han Rui’s excited and complex gaze, and patted her buttocks., “Just absorb it well.”, “Okay!”, Soon, Han Rui had completed the fusion, and her Mana reached “300”., “Thank you…”, Han Rui opened her eyes and looked at Wang Tao, full of gratitude., Since childhood, besides her parents and family, this was the first time she had met someone who treated her so well… This was an Orange Crystal Core, and he just gave it to her like that, and not just one, but two!, “I don’t even know how to repay you…”, Han Rui sincerely thanked him., She had previously thought about how to repay Wang Tao, but before she could, Wang Tao had already given her so much more!, As for sleeping with Wang Tao, Han Rui didn’t consider that as repayment. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be like some sort of transaction? She thought of it as her own choice, with both of them getting what they wanted…, Looking at the affection in Han Rui’s eyes, Wang Tao suddenly smiled., “Wanna try calling me ‘hubby’?”, Han Rui’s face flushed instantly., “…I won’t!”, True, her husband was worthless, but he was still at the base. If she called someone else ‘hubby,’ what would that look like…, Wang Tao didn’t insist. He instead said:, “Then, calling me ‘daddy’ is also fine.”, Han Rui bit Wang Tao’s shoulder angrily, of course, not hard., Wang Tao didn’t seem to mind as he grinned., His feelings for Han Rui… To be honest, calling it love would be too fake; they had known each other for just a few days, and most of his attention was still focused on increasing his power… He was simply coveting Han Rui’s body. Actually, he didn’t have deep feelings for Ding Yuqin either, since they hadn’t met many times before the apocalypse, and afterward, they were just helping each other with loneliness he wasn’t sure about Ding Yuqin’s thoughts, but, that was how he saw it.
