Chapter 270 Identifying Viola's Weakness
This made David shake his head involuntarily, showing sympathy for Viola. A slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Viola's face as well. It had to be said that this cave was already the most perfect base in this world. However, compared to David's ultimate base, it was simply insignificant.
David walked into the cave to take a look around while Viola waited anxiously outside. The group of Kui tribe members stood there in confusion, looking at David, the human, wondering why their queen had brought back a human, and why she seemed to respect him so much.
When David came out again, he casually threw a dozen alloy steel plates that he had taken from the system warehouse in front of Viola.
"Tell your people to quickly set up these steel plates in the open space," David said casually. He could directly use the system's transformation function to quickly build and upgrade the base, but he didn't want to reveal too much of his hidden abilities to Viola at the moment.
Viola looked at the heavy alloy steel plates in front of her and quickly instructed her subordinates to lift them and start assembling. Several strong Kui tribe men came forward, their muscles bulging like dragons. They grabbed the edges of the alloy steel plates, trying to lift them effortlessly, but the plates remained unmoved on the ground.
Several men struggled, turning red and even squatting on the ground trying to lift them together, but the alloy steel plates remained immovable. This scene shocked Viola deeply.
These Kui tribe members were known for their incredible strength. Normally, a few hundred pounds of weight would be nothing to them. However, these seemingly not heavy alloy steel plates were completely unmovable to them.
David smiled faintly, although these alloy steel plates appeared light, each one weighed at least two thousand kilograms. Ordinary people simply couldn't lift them with strength alone. The reason he did this was also to let the Kui tribe witness his strength in a roundabout way.
Approaching the alloy steel plates, David waved his hand to signal the men to step back. Viola looked at David with a slightly furrowed brow. She saw David bend down, grab a piece of alloy steel plate with one hand, and effortlessly straighten up, lifting two plates that weighed six thousand kilograms in total. It seemed as if he was holding two pieces of paper that were as light as feathers.
This made the Kui tribe men look at each other in disbelief. Viola was left agape, "Isn't this a bit too exaggerated?"
Watching David walk effortlessly with the alloy steel plates, Viola couldn't believe her eyes. She felt that even she would need her abilities to move these plates, but David did it without any trace of using abilities, stacking them together as if they were nothing.
David's physical strength had now reached the level of formidable beings of his rank. With the enhancement of the Golden Defense Layer, his physical strength could even rival some powerful power-type mutant beasts. The weight of several thousand kilograms was no challenge for him.
Under the gaze of everyone, David assembled these alloy steel plates, forming a preliminary shape of a base. The rear of the base was connected to the cave, expanding the base's area considerably.
After finishing all this, David consumed some defense-type crystals and upgraded the base to the level of black iron. The alloy steel plates glowed briefly, instantly merging into one, and the outline of the base became even more apparent. The Kui tribe members around were left in shock. They had never seen such a sight before, so David's actions seemed like something incredible to them.
Viola is no exception. This is her first time witnessing a human display their supernatural abilities, and it struck her heart instantly. A look of incredible astonishment adorned her face. Stepping into the black iron base, Viola immediately sensed a vague aura of power within. Being within it felt like standing at the source of strength.
David also entered with a smile and said, "No need to thank me, just make sure the monthly crystals are in place."
Viola nodded, and without a second word, she had her subordinates bring out a thousand junior pronuclei from the cave and placed them in front of David. "Here are a thousand for this month."
David didn't expect her to be so efficient. He happily placed the thousand junior pronuclei into the system's warehouse. Merely obtaining a black iron-level base was enough for Viola to completely submit. If she were to find out about David's King-tier base from the Apocalypse, he believed she would question her own existence.
In other words, Viola, the queen of the Kui tribe, had been taken advantage of. However, David didn't elevate the base to a higher level. He knew that this was a long-term business. If he suddenly upgraded it to gold or diamond level, the sense of anticipation would be lost. David firmly adhered to the principle of gradually nurturing a venture. With just this black iron base, he had already gained the upper hand over Viola.
With this, David's later actions in the wasteland world became much easier. With the assistance of the local residents, he believed he could explore this world quickly. As for the Heart of the Zerg, he wasn't in a hurry. From Viola's words, he could tell that it was a difficult-to-obtain treasure, a treasure of the Zerg. So, he wasn't concerned about keeping Viola hanging for a few more days to arouse her curiosity.
After completing everything, it was now noon. Viola instructed her subordinates to prepare lunch. As Kui tribe members, their food mostly consisted of exotic beast meat and some peculiar fruits from the wasteland world. Looking at the dishes of slightly cooked exotic meat brought in by Viola's subordinates, David shook his head. He wasn't interested in something still dripping with blood.
Meanwhile, other Kui tribe members were relishing their meal. Viola and David sat together, both picking up a red fruit to eat.
Seeing that David wasn't touching the exotic meat before him, Viola asked, "Not to your taste?"
David smiled faintly and retrieved a portion of Dongpo pork and a few gene fruits from his warehouse. "You guys enjoy your meal, I'll eat my own."
David picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and indulged in it. The mouthwatering aroma of the Dongpo pork made Viola unconsciously salivate. She hadn't tasted this kind of food before, and the fragrance was hard to resist.
"Could I have some?" Viola asked with a bit of hesitation.
David was generous and didn't mind. After all, he had plenty of these foods in his warehouse system. So, he took out another portion and placed it in front of her.
