Chapter 586 - 246 Military Base_2
Wang Tao spoke with a serious expression on his face.
He Jijun was the legendary Soldier King, and his abilities were strong. Wang Tao felt that such talents should be put to good use, and by joining him, He Jijun would be able to fully exhibit his capabilities!
However, Wang Tao had also decided that even if He Jijun did not agree, he was willing to help him become an Ability User for free.
He Jijun had strong abilities, and his potential after becoming an Ability User was enormous. Furthermore, he was a person who had dedicated himself to his country and people. Such a man should live!
"Sigh..." He Jijun sighed and then looked at Wang Tao, "Alright. I agree to join you..."
In truth, He Jijun was somewhat at a loss.
Not about whether or not he could find his granddaughter—he would persist in searching whether he found her or not.
What puzzled him, was how much farther he could go.
He Jijun had seen formidable zombies and knew that their strength was continuously improving, while he was making no progress—in fact, he was getting older, his strength was waning, and he was sure to die at the hands of zombies eventually.
But now, he had encountered Wang Tao, who promised to enhance his strength without side effects or impurities. Perhaps, this was the solution for him to keep going...
"Old man, welcome to our team!"
When He Jijun agreed, Wang Tao immediately extended his hand.
He Jijun shook his hand, then chuckled bitterly:
"Now that I’m one of you, there’s no need to be so polite with me. Besides, ’When the student is ready, the teacher appears.’ Let’s treat each other as equals. You can call me Old He, or even Old Mr. He..."
"Haha, sure! It’s just a name, don’t worry about it. You can call me Little Wang from now on!"
After He Jijun decided to join Wang Tao’s team, they both felt much closer and did not have the subtle defensiveness they had before.
Then Wang Tao asked with a smile:
"Old He, what kind of Ability would you like?"
"I can choose?"
"I still have quite a few Crystal Cores, and together with the ones you have, it’s enough for you to choose. Oh right, you might not be familiar with the Abilities, let me introduce them to you first..."
Wang Tao introduced all the Level 1 Crystal Cores he had seen and had in his possession.
After hearing about so many types of Crystal Cores, He Jijun felt each one was amazing and wanted them all... But he was ultimately a man of self-control and quickly came to his senses, then chose one of the Abilities Wang Tao had mentioned.
"I want Precision Shooting! I consider my marksmanship to be quite decent, but I can feel that it can still improve. I want to see what level my marksmanship can reach with the Precise Shooting ability!"
Wang Tao wasn’t surprised by He Jijun’s choice.
He took out a Level 1 Epic Quality Precise Shooting Crystal Core and handed it to He Jijun, then explained further:
"Then Old He, you can do the Fusion now. But a person can fuse with more than one type of Crystal Core, up to four in fact. That means you can obtain up to four Abilities! However, everyone’s physique is different, and the number of Cores one can fuse varies. You will have to try to find out exactly how many..."
"You can fuse with up to four!"
He Jijun was a bit surprised.
If he could possess four Abilities, that would be the best outcome. However, he did not expect much; being able to fuse just one Ability would suffice. After all, it was an Ability without side effects or impurities!
He Jijun took the Crystal Core and without hesitation, swallowed it right away.
In an instant, the Crystal Core seemed to vaporize, merging into his limbs and bones.
He Jijun closed his eyes. He felt his body warm up, a cozy and comfortable sensation.
Then he opened his eyes and looked at Wang Tao.
"Is that it?"
"Congratulations! Old He, now you’re an Ability User too! You can try using your Ability."
After becoming an Ability User, one naturally understands the basic usage of the fused Ability, so no explanation is needed, as they automatically know how to use it.
"Let me try..."
He Jijun silently activated his Precise Shooting ability.
In an instant, the whole world appeared different to him!
He noticed many details he hadn’t seen before, and his eyes seemed able to function like binoculars!
Moreover, it felt like this Precise Shooting would not only be effective in ranged attacks, but also in close combat!
"This is what it means to be an Ability User!"
He Jijun felt a thrill of excitement. He took another look at his eyes, which were both fine. The side effect of precise shooting was blindness in one eye! This meant it was indeed an Ability without side effects.
After experiencing his Ability for a while, He Jijun felt a bit tired. He knew this was due to the excessive energy consumption Wang Tao mentioned, so he quickly deactivated his Ability and gratefully said to Wang Tao:
"Thank you!"
"Don’t rush to thank me yet, first sense whether you can continue to fuse with another Crystal Core?"
Wang Tao obviously hoped that He Jijun could fuse with several Crystal Cores. But this was something he could not control; it all depended on luck.
"Let me see..."
He Jijun closed his eyes, carefully sensed his body, then his face lit up with joy.
"I feel like I could probably fuse with another Crystal Core!"
"That’s great! Then Old He, go ahead and choose another one!"
Wang Tao said cheerfully.
Being able to fuse with one Crystal Core was good enough, and two would be a huge bonus.
