Chapter 455: Chapter 202 Clubhouse (Double Monthly Tickets at Month End)_3
Nie Siyan’s face remained impassive, as if she were utterly calm, but inside, she was almost giddy with delight. This is what it feels like to be powerful!
A group of people arrived at Villa No. 8.
The villa had four floors in total, with three above ground and one below. There was a large courtyard in front of the villa and a garage that could accommodate three cars at the back. There were also man-made lakes, fish ponds… It had to be said, the environment here was really nice, almost like before the apocalypse, without that end-of-the-world feeling, as if it were a haven from the world.
“How beautiful!” Nie Siyan exclaimed in admiration before becoming somewhat wistful, “I can’t even imagine how nice the quadrangle dwellings must be…”
When she said “nice,” she wasn’t just talking about the environment but also about status.
Originally, she hadn’t given much thought to these things because she knew her own strength. But now, having received Wang Tao’s help, she felt that there might just be a possibility for her status to continue climbing?
The staff led them inside the villa, left the keys, went over some precautions, and then departed.
From now on, until they left, this villa belonged to Wang Tao and his group. Of course, that was as long as they weren’t defeated by someone else.
Judging by the strength displayed today, there shouldn’t be anyone foolish enough to challenge them.
“Brother Wang, you must be tired. Let me give you a leg massage!”
After a brief tour of the villa, Nie Siyan approached Wang Tao, her face blushing as she offered.
Just by the look of Nie Siyan’s offer, you could tell this leg massage wouldn’t be entirely appropriate.
“Let’s cook first.”
By this time, it was already evening, so Wang Tao asked Xu Xiaojun to cook. Despite Xu Xiaojun’s burly appearance, his culinary skills were quite decent.
Moreover, the villa came with a supply of fresh vegetables and meats! It had to be said, Zijin Base was really generous. Thunder Guild had probably just arrived not long ago and hadn’t used any of these items yet.
After instructing Xu Xiaojun, Wang Tao went up to the villa’s rooftop to exchange some tips on leg massages with Nie Siyan.
After spending some time there, Nie Siyan internalized all of Wang Tao’s tips, feeling as if she was so full of knowledge that she didn’t even need dinner.
At that point, someone came to the door. It was an invitation for Nie Siyan to attend a banquet.
Wang Tao initially thought the banquet was hosted by Zijin Base, but later found out it wasn’t. It was organized by those dozen or so mid-sized forces…
Their purpose in coming to Zijin Base was naturally for that so-called upgrade operation.
This upgrade operation was essentially about concentrating resources to produce a Level 3 ability user!
Everyone wanted to be a Level 3 ability user, but they all knew that spots were limited.
The four major forces certainly had their spots, but it was a different story for the other forces.
Thus, before the official start of the upgrade operation, these mid-level forces wanted to touch base with each other and form teams or alliances.
Nie Siyan felt that forming alliances was unrealistic. If alliances could be formed, they would have been formed already — who would wait until now? Even if they did form an alliance, it would likely be nothing more than a verbal agreement, which could collapse under even the slightest external pressure.
However, Nie Siyan still planned to go.
They had invited her earnestly; it would be rude not to go. And now, she was the club president, after all — she had to at least fulfil her ceremonial duties.
Plus, she wanted to see what these people were thinking and whether there was any insider information.
Of course, there was another important reason: she wanted to see if these people had any Crystal Cores — she always remembered Wang Tao’s mission to trade for Crystal Cores!
Wang Tao currently needed Level 2 and Level 3 Crystal Cores.
But there was no point in thinking about Level 3 Crystal Cores; it was unlikely anyone had them. And even if they did, they wouldn’t want to trade them.
As for Level 2 Crystal Cores, they could include those for ascension, omnipotent ones, and his own usage, in addition to the unknown-purpose Cores, all of which were tradable.
If there were any special Level 1 Crystal Cores, Wang Tao wouldn’t disdain them either.
What Wang Tao could offer in trade were primarily Level 1 Crystal Cores and various potions.
The Crystal Cores were all above Blue Quality, primarily Purple, with the occasional Red one. He wasn’t bringing out any Orange ones for now.
When it came to potions, aside from some medium-sized bottles and some potions he couldn’t currently produce, other manufacturable potions were all tradable!
Especially something like the Rejuvenation Potion, which didn’t require core materials, had low costs, and was very simple to produce — it might just be Wang Tao’s main product this time. After all, as long as he had Crystal Cores, he could produce as much of this potion as needed.
Wang Tao gave Nie Siyan some samples, telling her to pitch them if the opportunity arose.
“Brother Wang, just wait for my good news!”
Nie Siyan spoke confidently.
There was no need to mention the Crystal Cores; even these potions were a first for her to hear about, and she was tempted herself, let alone other people.
There was no doubt that these Crystal Cores and potions would sell well. The main question was what price they would fetch.
Nie Siyan had been in business before the apocalypse and was confident of fetching high prices.
“Go ahead.”
Wang Tao patted Nie Siyan’s backside, and she left with Zhu Han and another ability user. After all, as the president of the Firefly Club, she needed to bring some people along for appearances.
Wang Tao was preparing to go down for dinner when someone else arrived at the villa. Again, it was an invitation to a banquet.
But this time, the invitation wasn’t for Nie Siyan; it was a specific invitation for Wang Tao.
Wang Tao wasn’t initially interested in going. He thought it might be an invitation from some small force. After all, the mid-sized forces had already invited Nie Siyan, and they were now gathering together.
However, when the visitors revealed their affiliation, Wang Tao suddenly became intrigued.
“The club inviting me? And Lu Yingfeng specifically requested it? Interesting…”
The visitors mentioned that since their place was full of women, it was a bit inconvenient, which was why only Wang Tao, a man, was invited.
Wang Tao looked around, and apart from Jiang Shixue, the rest were men.
“Little Jun, you guys have dinner. Little Xue and I are going to see what’s up.”
Wang Tao planned to take Jiang Shixue along for a meal.
“Okay!”
So, holding Jiang Shixue’s hand, Wang Tao headed to Villa No. 7.
