Chapter 459 -204 Feeding the Zombies (Double Monthly Tickets at Month End)_1
After the meal, Wang Tao didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked about the upgrading operation.
Lan Yulian was, after all, the leader of one of the four major powers, so she was definitely well-informed.
“Sorry, I do know some things, but I can’t tell you. Unless… you join us. Of course, aside from sharing information, we also have excellent benefits and treatment!”
Lan Yulian said with a smile.
She was still not giving up, and the more Wang Tao refused, the more she believed he was of good character.
“Then forget it.”
Wang Tao waved his hand dismissively.
In truth, whether he joined or not was all the same to him. After all, even if he did join, could Lan Yulian stop him from leaving when he wished to?
But the more Lan Yulian insisted on his joining, the more Wang Tao felt that things were not so simple—Lan Yulian definitely had another agenda she hadn’t disclosed. Unless she made it clear, Wang Tao would definitely not join; he had to avoid being trapped.
Lan Yulian was somewhat disappointed, but she was not disheartened.
After chatting about some inconsequential topics, Wang Tao prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, he took out some Crystal Cores and potions.
“I’ve been doing a bit of business lately…”
“Hmm?”
Upon seeing the items in Wang Tao’s hands, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng’s attention was immediately drawn.
In Wang Tao’s hands were a Red Crystal Core, an Orange Crystal Core, and a potion that seemed very high-end.
“These are Red Crystal Cores and Orange Crystal Cores without side effects, and a Rejuvenation Potion that can instantly restore physical strength and spirit to their peak…”
Wang Tao briefly introduced the items in his hand and passed them to the two women.
The Red Crystal Core was a Glutton Core, and so was the Orange Crystal Core.
But that wasn’t the important part; what was important was their quality and the absence of side effects!
That is to say, these two Crystal Cores were synthesized using a Crystal Core Synthesizer!
Lu Yingfeng suddenly felt a pang of loss.
Which wastrel had done this?
Synthesizing with a Crystal Core Synthesizer consumed a vast amount of the same quality Crystal Core, and it wasn’t even guaranteed to succeed.
God knows how many Crystal Cores this wasted for just these two Cores!
But to go to such expense just to synthesize Glutton Cores? That was incredibly wasteful!
After all, the Glutton Core was widely regarded as one of the most useless Crystal Cores; even with side effects removed, it was still trash.
If these really were synthesized using a Crystal Core Synthesizer, then if this wasn’t waste, what was?
As for the Rejuvenation Upgrade Potion, Wang Tao’s description sounded magical, but the two women were skeptical, having never tried and seen it before.
“You mean to say…”
Lan Yulian was somewhat puzzled.
“If you have Level 2 Crystal Cores or some Level 1 Crystal Cores whose purpose you don’t know, I can trade them for these kinds of Cores and potions.”
“You’re referring to… Red and Orange Crystal Cores?”
Lu Yingfeng immediately asked.
“Yes. I recently found a channel where I can get these quality Cores…”
Wang Tao would definitely not say he synthesized them himself, nor would he say he found them; he just said he had a channel and could provide a steady supply. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
After all, it was the end of the world; nothing was surprising.
The two women exchanged glances, both visibly tempted.
“If you’re interested, feel free to contact me anytime.”
Wang Tao didn’t directly propose a trade, as he wanted to give them time to consider.
He left the Crystal Cores and potion there and then took Jiang Shixue’s hand and left.
“Get them tested.”
After Wang Tao left, Lan Yulian promptly instructed Lu Yingfeng.
“Okay!”
They had their own methods of testing and could determine whether what Wang Tao said was true or false. If it was true, and Wang Tao indeed had so many Crystal Cores, she would certainly consider doing business with him. After all, she did have a lot of Level 2 Crystal Cores she couldn’t use…
“This Wang Tao, he’s very capable, but he’s so hard to persuade…”
Lan Yulian shook her head helplessly.
She wanted to recruit male survivors for Vast, but many women inside were opposed, saying it went against the founders’ original intentions. There was some displeasure between them.
Therefore, she planned to take action first and report later.
As long as those women saw the benefits and advantages of male survivors, they would surely stop opposing.
But unfortunately, Wang Tao was not willing…
Speaking of which, this was the first time in her life she had so earnestly invited a man, and she was rejected… She wasn’t angry, just a bit helpless. After all, if Wang Tao didn’t join, some of her subsequent plans couldn’t be carried out…
…
When Wang Tao returned to villa number 8, Nie Siyan had not yet come back.
He greeted Xu Xiaojun, then went up to the rooftop to exercise for a while until Nie Siyan returned.
“Brother Wang!” Nie Siyan ran over, slightly excited. “I’ve got some useful information…”
She quickly shared the news she had heard with Wang Tao.
There were three important pieces of news in total.
The first piece of news was that Zijin Base recently acquired a special Crystal Core whose Ability could be stacked; the more people, the stronger the power, similar to the Mud Swamp Ability Wang Tao had seen before.
But not just anyone could integrate with this Crystal Core; even high-quality ones often failed.
Even an Orange Crystal Core had failed! Orange had a one hundred percent integration success rate!
Clearly, the quality of the Crystal Core was not the reason for the failures; there must be some unknown factors involved.
The integration success rate seemed random, and no pattern could be discerned. Thus, despite knowing the power of this Crystal Core, few people have succeeded in merging with it.
