CHAPTER 657: CHAPTER 48: DOMINANCE AND ANTI-DOMINANCE (PART 2)
"Xiao Xian, agree to him. As long as you learn Spirit Stacking, you can definitely weave something even more powerful... whether it’s a Cushion or a mat, or even a bulletproof vest." Xuerou keenly spotted the opportunity within, as right now the Xu Family and Huang Teng Chong’s group and the powers behind them were still eyeing them eagerly. They couldn’t find peace in Huake Institute, and it wouldn’t be much safer outside either. If they could catch the attention of the Wang Family or the government forces behind them, it would be greatly beneficial for Xiao Xian’s future.
"But I can’t guarantee when I will learn Spirit Stacking, and its application might not necessarily be able to produce a bulletproof vest that meets requirements." Xiao Xian hesitated, as she still did not know what Wang Shuai’s specific requirements for the bamboo armor were.
"I’ve already said before, the old-fashioned rattan mat can withstand gunfire from weapons of caliber under 6 millimeters. The state defines calibers smaller than 6 millimeters as small-caliber. My requirement is to withstand two consecutive attacks from large-caliber bullets. And in impact tests, to ensure that the user’s life is preserved under high-speed impacts." Wang Shuai also proposed that under the same conditions, Xiao Xian could start from part testing, such as wrist guards and knee pads before moving on to testing the chest and head areas.
"I can agree, but you must also promise me to provide me with the improved formula for the Antiemetic in advance," Xiao Xian was somewhat clever, once Wang Shuai gave out the formula for the Antiemetic, Zhuo Feng’s pressing needs would be resolved. By then, whether she had come up with a viable bamboo armor or not, the other party would be helpless. However, she clearly underestimated Wang Shuai’s intelligence; how could Wang Shuai, who stood out among the many young people in the Wang Family, be so easily fooled.
"No problem, to show my sincerity, I’ve already arranged for your aunt to be admitted to the 411 Hospital and stay there for free to nurture her fetus. She should already be on her way to the hospital now," Wang Shuai still wore a smile, but his words sent a chill creeping up Xiao Xian and Xuerou’s feet.
"Then it’s settled," Xiao Xian said through gritted teeth, what a Wang Shuai, truly a meticulous planner.
"Let’s not rush to a decision just yet, my father also wishes to see you; he should be in Ziang’s lab now. Zeng just inhaled some Poisonous gas, though I helped her detoxify, there’s still some residue in your body. I’ll take you to the oxygen chamber first to cleanse the toxins completely." Human spirit guidance generally requires several sessions, but Xuerou was quick to erect Spiritual Energy protection when she encountered the Poisonous gas earlier, so she wasn’t deeply poisoned. After one session of spirit guidance, all that’s needed is pure oxygen to expel the toxins from the blood and body.
From the situation with Wang Peng earlier, it seems that Wang Shuai’s father, Wang Zhonghe, is not going to be easy to deal with either. Xiao Xian would rather have Xuerou rest and recover for a while. Although Xuerou was very worried about Xiao Xian, thinking that Zhou Ziang was also there, it probably wouldn’t be a serious problem, so she followed Wang Shuai out first.
After Wang Shuai left, Xiao Xian stood in the office for a while. As a cultivator like Wang Shuai, who is not afraid of cold in winter, his office did not have the air conditioning turned on. Xiao Xian, not used to rifling through others’ belongings, walked out to the corridor instead.
Earlier, the office where Wang Peng was, remained shut. Wang Peng’s affair was considered a family disgrace in the Wang Family, so the people of the Wang Family were rather reluctant to mention it.
Whether there was Poisonous gas seeping from under the door in the room or not, Xiao Xian noticed that most of the offices on the third floor were not in use, even Wang Shuai’s office, who is Wang Peng’s own nephew, was separated by several other offices. Logically, a formal military hospital like 411 shouldn’t accommodate someone eccentric like Wang Peng.
Forget it, this is so-called the conduct of the upper echelons. Just like her grandfather’s matter, she had no leads up to now. Thinking of her grandfather’s case, Xiao Xian suddenly thought that if she asked Wang Shuai for help in finding the person she couldn’t find, she wondered what the outcome would be.
She wouldn’t have dared to think this way before, but now she and Wang Shuai have established a relationship of mutual interest. With major military resources behind Wang Shuai, if she could make good use of this relationship, she might find some clues for her grandfather’s case.
There was a sound akin to popcorn popping coming from the office, and because of the nearby toxic gases, Xiao Xian, judging by Wang Peng’s earlier reactions, guessed that he must be aware of someone using Spiritual Energy nearby, so she didn’t dare to get closer to the lab rashly and just watched from a distance.
