Chapter 111 Preparations Before Going Out
Qingyu told Han Shuo that the solution was simple: submit a drop of the turbid liquid and then make a request directly to the research institute.
Han Shuo's request was not excessive at all. The turbid liquid was very valuable, and even if it wasn't an equal exchange, he could definitely get what he wanted.
...
Soon, the two returned to their respective residences.
As soon as Han Shuo entered the room, Fatty and Li Shurou surrounded him.
"How does it feel to become a genetically modified human?" the fat man asked excitedly.
"Yes, can you jump several meters now?" Li Shurou was also quite curious.
"Hehe, just one word: awesome!"
Han Shuo picked up the water glass on the table, drank it down in big gulps, and then continued speaking.
"Qingyu said that I am stronger than a typical Level 1 evolved human."
...
And so, the two of them questioned Han Shuo for a long time, and Han Shuo even punched a couple of times in the room.
The two fat men could clearly sense that Han Shuo had become much stronger, much stronger...
Afterwards, Han Shuo told the two about his chance encounter with Steward Wang.
As he described Steward Wang's temperament and personality, sure enough, Fatty and Li Shurou had the same strange expressions on their faces as he had just done.
After all, the contrast with Wang Bahu is simply too great.
Finally, Han Shuo discussed his plans with the two of them, including his upcoming trip and his desire to exchange the turbid liquid for some supplies.
"Go ahead and trade! A single drop of turbid liquid can get you so many things, it's not a bad deal!" The fat man had no objections whatsoever and absolutely supported Han Shuo's decision.
"Yes, we only have 3 drops left, not enough for one genetic modification. It's better to prepare some life-saving items in advance."
Li Shurou also agreed with the fat man's idea.
"Alright, since neither of you has any objections, then it's decided."
Although Han Shuo is the team leader, he is still quite democratic.
Because he never treated the two as subordinates; they were his closest friends.
"Okay, I'll just need to work on my Tang sword. You two can study it and see if there's anything you want. Write it down, and I'll go over and ask you tomorrow."
"good!"
The fat man and Li Shurou responded in unison, and then took out pens and paper to discuss the matter.
Soon, Han Shuo received a piece of paper covered with dense writing.
Han Shuo's eyes widened as he looked at the contents of the paper.
He hadn't expected that the two of them would write so much in such a short time.
"It seems they both really enjoy shopping!" Han Shuo thought to himself.
He then carefully examined the contents of the document.
The first two lines are fine; they're just some normal, reasonable equipment.
However, the further they went, the more Han Shuo realized that the two of them were going astray.
Roast chicken, roast duck, cigarettes, wine... and a whole host of other foods were all in the fat man's scribbled notes.
Looking further ahead, it's Li Shurou's.
Beautiful clothes, skincare products...
Han Shuo's face grew increasingly dark, and he rejected all the nonsense that followed!
This made the two of them somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing Han Shuo's impending outburst, the fat man quickly made an excuse and pulled Li Shurou out of the room.
"Whoosh—!"
Han Shuo took a deep breath; he was really furious just now.
...
The next day, Han Shuo took a drop of turbid liquid to the supplies exchange point.
There was only one staff member here at the time.
Han Shuo handed over the turbid liquid directly, which surprised the staff member. This was the first time he had ever seen someone take out turbid liquid to replace it since he started working.
Han Shuo made his request, and the staff consulted their superiors before agreeing to it without hesitation.
After all, what Han Shuo wanted wasn't unreasonable.
He then left the Tang sword there.
This time, he wanted to make a major overhaul of the Tang sword, while keeping the appearance exactly the same, but replacing the blade with a more durable composite material.
According to Qingyu, this composite material is several times harder than steel.
Barring any major unforeseen circumstances, once the Tang sword is modified, it could even last Han Shuo a lifetime.
After patiently waiting for two days, the staff delivered all of Han Shuo's replacement belongings to his room.
...
Han Shuo immediately spotted a rectangular wooden box and hurriedly opened it.
The familiar Tang sword was now lying quietly inside the box.
The scabbard and hilt are brand new.
Swoosh!
Han Shuo drew his Tang sword directly, the new sword was unsheathed!
"That's so cool!" the fat guy exclaimed excitedly from the side.
Han Shuo's face was also filled with excitement as he carefully examined it.
Compared to before, it was much heavier, but Han Shuo felt it was easier to handle because his strength had also increased significantly after becoming a genetically modified human.
If it were still the same weight as before, it would be a bit too light for him.
The Tang sword looks the same as before, except that the blade is noticeably smoother.
Especially the blade, which was incredibly sharp, was chopped off by Han Shuo with a light swing, without using much force!
"A fine knife!"
Han Shuo shouted excitedly!
He was extremely satisfied with the Tang sword he had now.
After playing with it for a while, Han Shuo put the Tang sword back into its sheath, keeping it in the same spot, slung across his waist.
Han Shuo believed that this trip would definitely boost his combat power several times over.
...
There were some things left on the ground:
The fat man asked for a large shield, almost as long as his own height, and the material was quite good. However, it was a bit heavy for him now, and he couldn't use the shield and axe at the same time.
Li Shurou didn't ask for any equipment. Her combat ability was already somewhat lacking, so she continued to use her original spear and submachine gun.
She opted for a more holistic approach to improving the team's performance, giving them three doses of adrenaline. In emergencies, this is far more effective than the performance-enhancing drugs the fat man had previously used.
The rest are just some things that can be used by all three people.
The rifle and submachine gun ammunition totaled nearly 500 rounds, along with three portable in-ear communicators, allowing the three to stay in touch while acting independently.
They received a high-powered telescope and a signal sensor.
There wasn't much stuff; after all, it was just a drop of turbid liquid.
Although these pieces of equipment seem very valuable, if an ordinary survivor were to choose, it would probably be more worthwhile to exchange them for a month's worth of food.
Everyone has their own needs, and as long as Han Shuo and the other two can accept it, there is absolutely no problem.
"Alright, let's get ready quickly. We'll go see Xiao Zhao in a bit, and say goodbye to Brother Qingyu. We'll set off tomorrow."
"good!"
"good!"
And so, the three of them were ready.
In fact, the three of them did not stay in the underground research institute for very long, only a short period of less than ten days, before preparing to set off again.
There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone wants a comfortable life, but the current situation clearly doesn't allow for such comfort to continue indefinitely.
To truly control your own life, you must constantly hone your skills and grow stronger...
