Doomsday: I can see the health bar, kill monsters and drop treasure.

Chapter 554 Rules of the Silver Snake Base

"Let me tell you, the goods this time are absolutely amazing. You should be prepared to spend a lot of money..."

"I heard that he is a new fourth-level awakener? Or did he come here on his own without anyone to lead him? It's been a while since we've seen such a person, right?"

"Yes, they came here on their own without anyone leading them. There was a man, a woman, and a dog. The man was a big, burly fellow, and he was obviously very suitable for fighting in underground black boxing, being a pioneer, or even donating organs! The woman was a very pretty little girl, and I won't tell you what she could do, but when you see her face, you will definitely think of ten thousand ways to use her! As for the dog... it looks ordinary, but I guess it can be stewed into a big pot... Damn, I'm a little hungry just talking about it, I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time!"

"It sounds good, but do you know his strength? After all, he is a strange awakener..."

"Hey! Even if he is very strong, he is just one person. We have 13 awakeners this time. Why are you afraid of a newcomer like him? Don't worry, he will obey you obediently! You just need to prepare the crystal cores and participate in the auction later!"

"..."

In the evening, before it got dark, the shops on Datong Street seemed to close their doors in unison, and the pedestrians on the road disappeared. A large group of fully armed men and women entered Datong Street and strode towards the Windy Inn at the end of the street.

The group of people were talking and laughing, as if they were having something happy. They walked all the way to the entrance of the Windy Inn before stopping.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes were fixed on a plump woman with big wavy hair.

"Okay, I'll go in and try to persuade them first. After all, we are inside the base, so it's better not to take action if possible. Otherwise, we'll have to pay a fine again..."

The woman gathered her long wavy hair and walked into the hotel with a twist of her waist.

Her fighting ability is not strong, but she is fast and has high defense. If she really encounters any danger, she can escape in time.

After the woman went in, the others waited patiently outside. If they could persuade him to surrender, it would save a lot of trouble.

A minute later, there was no movement in the hotel.

Don't be in a hurry, it takes time to persuade them to surrender.

Two minutes later, there was still no movement in the hotel.

Everyone was a little confused. Regardless of whether she succeeded in persuading the other party to surrender, she should at least say something, right? Could it be that she had secretly reached some kind of agreement with the other party?
Three minutes later, the hotel was still quiet, as if no one had ever entered, and as if there was no one inside at all.

Everyone's faces turned serious.

Five minutes later, looking at the still silent inn, the group of people looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes...something went wrong!
But they also grinned. If persuading them to surrender was successful, it would undoubtedly save trouble, but it would be less fun. If persuading them to surrender failed, for some people, it was exactly what they were looking forward to.

"Attack together! Don't give them a chance to resist!"

……

Five minutes ago, after the wavy woman entered the hotel, she was surprised to find that the big guy, the girl and the dog, were sitting in the hotel's living room, eating dinner calmly. The hotel owner, waiters and others were all standing beside the big guy, as if waiting for his orders.

After the woman came in, the big guy, the girl, and the hotel staff all acted as if they didn't see her.

Only the handsome wolf dog looked up at her, but it was just a glance, and soon lowered its head again, as if the person who came in was an insignificant transparent person.

What's going on?
The woman was a little confused at first, but she was not stupid and she reacted quickly. The big guy obviously knew that they were up to no good!

The innkeeper and his people were obviously threatened by the big guy. After all, there were no awakeners in the inn, and with the gap in strength, it was normal for them to be threatened by a fourth-level awakener.

clap clap-

"Not bad, not bad. You have both strength and brains. We like people like you the most!"

The woman clapped with a smile, as if everything was under control.

But the big guy still calmly ate his dinner, completely ignoring her. Especially the girl next to the big guy who was so beautiful that she made her jealous, who kept wiping the corners of his mouth considerately, which made the woman a little angry.

She took a deep breath - Hmm? What did he eat? It smells so good! I'll ask the boss to make one for me later - the woman shook her head quickly, and a smile appeared on her face again.

"You may understand, but not quite. So, please allow me to explain the rules of the Silver Snake Base to you - every newcomer who passes the test and enters the Silver Snake Base, from the moment he enters, he is a resident of the Silver Snake Base. As a resident of the Silver Snake Base, you will naturally enjoy the protection and welfare policies of the Silver Snake Base. This is the right of every resident. But since you enjoy this right, you naturally have to fulfill the corresponding obligations. Only in this way can the base develop healthily. So, you should fulfill your obligations."

After hearing this, Wang Tao finally raised his head.

"Interesting statement... What are obligations?"

Seeing that Wang Tao finally spoke, the smile on the woman's face became even brighter.

"Of course you contribute your own value! For example, you can go to fight in underground boxing, be a pioneer in the exploration team, be a bodyguard in someone else's house for a few months, or donate your organs... All of these are possible. We are very humane. For example, the little girl next to you has more choices. I personally recommend that she go to the 'Singing and Dancing Alley'. With her beauty, she is definitely the best of the best! She can bring huge economic value to the Silver Snake Base!"

The woman thought that Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue would be afraid or angry when they heard these words. But she was disappointed. Both Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue looked calm, as if they didn't understand what she meant, or... didn't care?

Wang Tao looked at the woman with interest and said calmly:
"I want to know whether this is your personal opinion or the opinion of the parliament."

Wang Tao needs to evaluate whether the Silver Snake Base is worth the effort for the Changhe Base to establish a communication channel.

If the Silver Snake Base was just in chaos, then it wouldn't be a big deal, after all, the Silver Snake Base was far away from the Changhe Base.

If the Silver Snake Base is so bad from top to bottom, rotten to the core, and the hundreds of thousands of people here are all bad people, then there is no need to contact them. Anyway, the development of the Changhe Base does not rely on these outsiders, not to mention that the two places are quite far apart.

"Does it make any difference?"

The woman frowned.

"Of course there is a difference. The difference is... whether you go out standing up or lying down."

Wang Tao's tone remained very calm.

"This is our unspoken rule. What? You want to break the rules? Haha..."

The woman laughed as if she had seen something funny. "I see."

Wang Tao nodded.

It seems that this Silver Snake Base is not as bad as I imagined. This so-called rule is actually a group of people who unite to bully outsiders, not a law made by the parliament.

"What do you unserstand?"

Seeing Wang Tao's calm expression, the woman felt that he deserved a beating. However, in order to show off, she still showed a smile that showed she was confident of winning.

Wang Tao said nothing more and lowered his head to enjoy his dinner. But Jiang Shixue raised her head, and her pupils glowed slightly red.

The woman was about to continue speaking when she suddenly realized that her words were silent. She subconsciously tried to open her mouth, but her mouth had no feeling - she could not feel her mouth!

Not only the mouth, but also the head, limbs, eyes... She felt as if she had lost her body. Except for the consciousness, the body was gone!

This made the woman terrified instantly. She didn't understand what was going on with this horrible situation. She wanted to run, but she couldn't feel her body. Her body just stood there obediently.

Suddenly, the woman found her body moving.

She twisted her waist and walked towards Wang Tao at a leisurely pace. Her movements and postures were exactly the same as hers. But she knew that she was not in control! She seemed to have lost control of her body!

The woman was almost overwhelmed by fear. She begged for mercy frantically in her heart, but the smile on her face was still there, and her eyes also had that deliberate look... There seemed to be nothing wrong with all this.

The woman watched in horror as her body walked step by step to Wang Tao, and then stood beside him very obediently, with her head slightly lowered, like a servant.

The woman finally understood why the manager and staff of the Kuangfeng Hotel stood obediently by Wang Tao's side, but it was too late!

A few minutes later, Wang Tao finished his dinner - the dinner was the dry food he brought with him, he was not used to the food at the Silver Snake Base - suddenly, the door of the hotel was kicked open, and a dozen people rushed in with various cold weapons.

When they saw Wang Tao sitting in the hall with a swagger, gently stroking the hair of the big wolfdog, an extremely beautiful girl rubbing Wang Tao's shoulders, and the woman who had just come in standing beside Wang Tao pouring tea, they were all a little confused.

What's going on? Aren't you here to persuade them to surrender? Why are you still serving?
They felt something was wrong, but they didn't have time to think too much at this time. The 12 awakened people immediately raised their weapons and attacked Wang Tao.

No matter what your situation is, knock down the "goods" first!
Wang Tao did nothing but glanced at them.

Then, these 12 fourth-level awakeners stopped moving, as if they had pressed the pause button.

Because their bodies were motionless but the surrounding environment was dynamic, with a thud, the group of people fell in front of Wang Tao due to inertia.

Their bodies still retained fighting movements, their faces still had ferocious and excited expressions, but their eyes were filled with endless terror.

Then the group of people got up from the ground stiffly, and stood in front of Wang Tao in a line. Only their eyeballs could move slightly, and they looked at Wang Tao as if they were looking at a demon.

The woman with big boobs beside Wang Tao witnessed all this, and she felt even more desperate. She wanted to beg for mercy and cry, but she couldn't even open her mouth, and even her tears were out of her control.

After realizing their situation, the group of people in front of him immediately looked at Wang Tao for mercy, and some even had tears in their eyes.

"I'm still not as good as you when it comes to controlling people!"

Wang Tao communicated with Jiang Shixue using his mental power.

The woman with big waves just now was controlled by Jiang Shixue using her awakened ability [Puppet].

The woman Jiang Shixue controlled was very natural. She did not show anything wrong. She followed her own behavior and walked to Wang Tao's side. Her eyes, her demeanor, and every inch of her muscles were the same as before. Everything was so perfect. Only Wang Tao could find something unnatural about the woman through his powerful mental power.

Wang Tao's control was different. He first made these people fall, and then let them crawl up stiffly, like zombies. Although these people could not speak, they could move their eyeballs slightly and even shed tears... Even a fool could see that these people were controlled by Wang Tao.

In terms of mental control alone, Wang Tao is indeed no match for Jiang Shixue.

"Hehe~ After all, I have awakened a special ability to control, and control is just one of your many abilities, so I definitely have some advantages..."

Jiang Shixue was very happy to be praised by Wang Tao.

But what she said was true. Wang Tao's [Spiritual Development] was very powerful, and controlling people was just one of the techniques Wang Tao had researched.

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head.

He rarely uses mind control, because he cannot control the strong ones, and it is easier for him to just kill the weak ones.

But today, after seeing Jiang Shixue controlling the girl with big waves, he suddenly wanted to try it as well.

The result is, well, okay.

Although his ability to control is not as subtle as Jiang Shixue's, and is almost difficult to detect, you can still say whether he can control it or not.

Moreover, it was somewhat difficult to control 12 fourth-order awakeners at once. In fact, there was no skill involved. It was all about strength. Anyway, Wang Tao was merciful not to kill these people. Whether they would become idiots or not was not something Wang Tao had to consider.

"Why didn't Dong Li come?"

The human trafficker Dong Li was not among this group of people.

The group of people suddenly found that their mouths seemed to be able to move, so they immediately started talking at once:
"Dong Li went to the dinner party... Don't kill me... I'll give you money..."

Not wanting to listen to these people's noise, Wang Tao asked them to shut up again.

Then he stood up.

"Maybe I am a little too rule-abiding. After all, this is the chaotic Silver Snake Base. We have to follow the rules here... Let's go and experience the charm of the Silver Snake Base."
