Chapter 194: Fireflies
Arcade, night.
Wang Tao looked at the crystal nucleus in his hand and grinned.
The population in the last days is not worth much or anything. If you get any disease, or you are infected with the zombie virus, or if you are affected by the battle, you will die.
But it's worth a lot of money, because an ordinary person can exchange 1 first-order white crystal nucleus! A first-order ability can exchange for a minimum of 20 first-order white crystal nuclei!
This is the market situation of Bauhinia City, and it has been at this price recently.
So after Wang Tao sent these people to prison, he obtained 700 first-order white crystal nuclei!
Coupled with the crystal nuclei found from these people and at home, and the crystal nuclei obtained from Nie Siyan and Huang Heng and their four second-order abilities, Wang Tao got a total of 2,000 first-order crystal nuclei and 50 second-order crystal nuclei this time!
Although most of these crystal nuclei are quite rubbish, they are all crystal nuclei that self-detonate, big stomach kings that have no eggs, or crystal nuclei with super side effects.
But Wang Tao doesn't care about this, he can synthesize it anyway.
As long as he synthesizes these white crystal nuclei into orange, even self-exploding crystal nuclei will become very valuable!
After all, many forces have crystal nucleus synthesizers in their hands, and the side effects of crystal nuclei can be removed by synthesizing crystal nuclei. However, the crystal nucleus synthesizer can only synthesize crystal nuclei of the same grade and quality.
For example, if you want to remove the side effects from a first-order orange crystal nucleus, then you have to use many first-order orange crystal nuclei to synthesize.
So even if it is a useless crystal nucleus like self-explosion and big stomach, as long as it is not white, the price will increase a lot, and if it is orange, the value will be doubled directly.
Wang Tao was going to synthesize some of these first-order crystal nuclei, and go back to trade second-order crystal nuclei with others.
Bauhinia City is very large, there are many survivors, and even if the crystal nucleus is rare, there must be a lot of them on the whole, far more than Wang Tao collected alone. There are a lot of crystal nuclei in the prison, and maybe you can trade with them in the future.
And I have to say that this prison is also quite trustworthy. The deal didn't show any moths, it was completed smoothly, and they were very happy with the crystal nucleus.
But it's understandable, after all, the prison is now the most disputable force in Bauhinia City, and there is no one. Skeletons will compare to them, and that's all trivial.
The reputation is so bad that there is no way to get it back.
No one will go to the prison now, not even the survivors from outside, who will know the notoriety of the prison if they stay in Bauhinia City for a few days.
And prisons need fresh blood...... So the prison can only buy the population from somewhere else.
But their reputation is so bad that not to mention the other survivors, even these middle forces dare not make a deal with them.
The prison has no choice but to improve its reputation in other aspects, such as trading happily, keeping promises, not defaulting on crystal nuclei, abiding by the rules, and so on.
Not to mention, in this way, although they can't change their reputation, they have indeed made a lot of progress in cooperation with other forces.
As long as the prison abides by the rules of the trade, there are still quite a few people who are willing to trade with the prison. After all, no one will have trouble with crystal nuclei and inhibitors.
So after a period of development, although the reputation of the prison is still very bad, the reputation of the prison is very good.
Prisons don't care about reputation, anyway, as long as they are strong and have someone to do business with them, that's enough......
When Wang Tao was selecting the crystal nucleus, he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
He was now sitting in front of the window, and he could clearly see a sneaky figure downstairs. That person was none other than Nie Siyan.
"This woman is back?"
Wang Tao was very surprised.
The transaction of sending more than 200 people to prison lasted for a day, and after Wang Tao got the crystal nucleus, she didn't bother to care about Nie Siyan, she could leave whenever she wanted.
Since Wang Tao said that he would spare her life, Wang Tao will definitely not break his promise. After all, this woman is no longer useful to him.
After that, the deal ended in the evening, and the woman did not return. Wang Tao thought she was gone.
But now, she's back?
When the person on duty saw Nie Siyan, he naturally opened the door quickly.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter."
Wang Tao lit an oil lamp, he hadn't turned on the light just now, after all, he could see at night.
Nie Siyan looked at the burly figure in the dim light. She was a little scared, but she still walked over to her.
"Brother Wang......"
In fact, she is older than Wang Tao, and calling Brother Wang is naturally a relatively intimate honorific title, and she still doesn't know what Wang Tao's name is, only that Xu Xiaojun calls him Brother Wang.
"What are you doing here?"
Wang Tao was a little puzzled.
Is this woman M-attributed? I treated her like that, and she dared to come back?
But when Nie Siyan heard this, she thought that Wang Tao was asking for guilt.
She immediately pounced and knelt in front of Wang Tao.
"Brother Wang, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have run away, please punish me! ”
Hearing this, Wang Tao glanced at her thoughtfully.
"You want to follow me?"
"Yes! I want to follow Brother Wang! ”
Nie Siyan hurriedly spoke.
She had already run away today, she didn't take a single crystal nucleus, presumably Wang Tao would not deliberately chase her. But on the way to escape, she suddenly didn't want to run again.
It's not that she likes to look for abuse, it's that she finds that she has nowhere to go...... Wang Tao is so strong, she wants to follow Wang Tao!
Mu Qiang is the nature of many people, and she is no exception.
Wang Tao is the most powerful powerhouse she has ever seen! Following such an alien person is definitely more promising than following Huang Heng!
And more importantly, although Wang Tao beat her many times, she was subconsciously a little frightened when she thought of Wang Tao. But Wang Tao is a person with a bottom line, which can be seen from his "hating survivors who are abducted and abducted" and "sending survivors who can earn him crystal nuclei to prison".
If she went to join other forces, she didn't know what those bosses were like. It's okay to do business in a place like a prison, but you don't dare to let her join her!
As for setting up a force on her own, she knew she wasn't that material. After all, her combat ability is not strong......
So after thinking about it carefully, Nie Siyan decided to go back to the game city.
Although she knew that Wang Tao hated her very much, she had also done a lot of things for Wang Tao, and Wang Tao should not kill her.
Then as long as she is sincere, there is a certain probability that Wang Tao will take her in. So she came back.
Wang Tao saw Nie Siyan nodding, and he smiled a little:
"Then do you think you deserve it?"
It's not that Wang Tao mocked her, but she has to see who is following Wang Tao, one Xu Xiaojun, one Jiang Shixue, which one can she compare?
"I don't deserve it! I know I'm not worthy, but I hope Brother Wang can give me a chance! I'm going to do a good job......"
Nie Siyan lay at Wang Tao's feet, throwing her body to the ground.
Wang Tao frowned and thought for a while.
He felt that this Nie Siyan should really want to follow him, after all, his strength was obvious to all.
But Wang Tao was reluctant to bring a drag oil bottle, and to be honest, Wang Tao didn't believe in her character very much.
After all, she can personally kill her husband and brother-in-law, and she is proficient in abduction and deception, how can Wang Tao trust such a person?
However, looking at Nie Siyan's "I am very sensible" look, Wang Tao felt that although it was impossible to take her to the military base, he would stay in Bauhinia City for a while, and maybe he could leave her here to run errands or something.
"Raise your head."
Wang Tao ordered.
Nie Siyan immediately raised her head and looked at Wang Tao with some fear and expectation.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand and gently stroked Nie Siyan's hair, as if he was stroking a puppy.
"Give you a chance, perform well and hopefully don't let me down. Otherwise......"
Wang Tao's hand slowly slid down and placed it on Nie Siyan's neck.
Nie Si's bones stood on end in an instant, but her pupils showed a hint of joy, and she immediately promised:
"Yes! I won't let Brother Wang down! ”
"Let's go down then."
Wang Tao patted her little face, Nie Siyan got up slowly, and then exited the room very respectfully.
As soon as she got out, she leaned against the wall, and she felt her back soaked. However, she was still a little excited at the moment.
Although Wang Tao didn't directly say that he would accept her, he gave her a chance. She's got to take advantage of this opportunity! As long as Wang Tao is happy to serve, she will definitely be good - even if Wang Tao doesn't reward her with anything, just provide her with a shelter, it will be worth it!
Inside the house, Wang Tao packed up the crystal nucleus and went to bed.
It doesn't matter if Nie Siyan stays or not, for the sake of seeing her take the initiative to come back, I'll give her a chance.
Jiang Shixue, who had been in the dark, immediately ran to the bed and got into Wang Tao's arms like a sticky kitten.
"Sleep."
……
Next.
Nie Siyan summoned everyone again.
Her face was a little sad.
Everyone didn't know why, but they were very worried.
Because they found out that the people who contributed a lot yesterday were gone—they had been asked to stay in the parking lot behind the arcade, and they didn't know what was going on in the hall.
They thought that Boss Huang had taken those people to other places alone to enjoy some benefits. Or maybe Boss Huang abandoned them and went to a new base with those people......
The more they thought about it, the more apprehensive they became.
After all, in this situation, if they didn't have the protection of powerful abilities, they might not be able to survive!
Nie Siyan waited until everyone came, and then said in a low tone:
"The people who were called out yesterday...... Sold to prison. ”
“???”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar in an instant.
Sold to prison? That's what they do, how can they not know what it means, this can basically declare these people dead, and it is a tragic death!
"Why, why ......"
An ordinary person asked tremblingly.
He doesn't want to be sold into prison, he wants to live!
"Because Boss Huang lacked crystal nuclei, he sold these people for crystal nuclei......"
Nie Siyan explained.
“……”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Can the boss still lack crystal nuclei? Even if there is a lack of crystal nuclei, it shouldn't be to squeeze them and make them work harder! How can anyone directly kill chickens and take eggs and sell people......
Everyone was in danger in an instant.
If the boss can sell those who have good performance, then he will definitely be able to sell them too!
They even wondered if Nie Siyan would tie them up later......
But just listen to Nie Siyan again:
"We are as puzzled by Boss Huang's behavior as you are, so we went to Boss Huang to theorize. And then...... Huang Wei and Liao Xia had a fight with Boss Huang ......"
“???”
Everyone had another question mark on their faces.
The leadership fought? Is that okay?
But what shocked them was still to come.
Nie Siyan continued:
"As a result, Huang Wei and Liao Xia died......"
“???”
"Boss Huang is also dead."
“!!!”
At this moment, not only these survivors, but also the bald man and their henchmen Nie Siyan were also dumbfounded. It all feels like a bolt from the blue.
The boss is dead?
The boss's own brother and the boss's second wife also died?
The four second-order abilities of their Skull Guild died three directly?
Although some people were abused by Boss Huang, they also had some thoughts that they wished that Boss Huang would die early. But that's just an idea, rationally speaking, everyone doesn't want Boss Huang to have an accident, after all, they all lived until now under the protection of Boss Huang.
If it weren't for Boss Huang, a powerful second-order ability, how would they, ordinary people, first-order abilities, live in the future...... I'm afraid that the skeletons will have to fall out of the medium-sized forces!
According to the conventions in Bauhinia City, the forces formed by the supernatural will be recognized by the majority of the people, and only the forces formed by the second-order supernatural can be called medium-sized forces.
In the past, the skeleton would have four second-order abilities, especially Boss Huang, who was very powerful. Therefore, the overall strength of the Skull and Bones Society is okay among medium-sized forces.
But now, their population has not only plummeted! Three of the second-order adepts died! There is only one second-order ability left, or Nie Siyan, who is not very strong in combat power......
Everyone only felt that it was dark in front of them.
It's over, the skeleton will be completely finished......
The reputation of the medium-sized forces doesn't matter, and they don't care about reputation. Rather, if the strength of one organization plummets, then other organizations will definitely fall into the ground!
The Skull and Bones Society has offended a lot of people before, and they may step on two feet.
There are also some people who covet the Skeleton Society's supplies, and they must be very interested in the current Skeleton Society. After all, the news that Boss Huang has sold more than 200 people will definitely spread out, and these are all crystal nuclei and inhibitors......
As for whether what Nie Siyan said is true or false, and what kind of role does Nie Siyan play...... No one thinks about it anymore. Since Boss Huang and the three of them didn't show up, then something must have happened to them. It's not about the specifics now, it's about what to do in the future......
Looking at everyone's worried expressions, Nie Siyan spoke:
"If there is someone who is willing to leave, you can leave."
Not a single person moved.
Everyone is not stupid, even if the skeleton's strength will plummet, but after all, there is still a second-order ability in charge. If they leave, they will have no shelter at all......
"Sister Nie, you will be our new boss in the future!"
The bald man beside Nie Siyan suddenly said loudly.
Everyone else also hurriedly agreed, if Nie Siyan left, then this skeleton club would really be disbanded.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Nie Siyan glanced upstairs without missing a trace. Then he sighed and said:
"Since everyone trusts me so much, then I naturally can't let everyone down. But I'm going to stop doing human trafficking business in the future, and by the way, I'll change my name and make a break from the previous skeleton meeting......"
The name Skull and Bones Club was something that Huang Heng thought casually at the time, it didn't have any meaning, it was just that he felt domineering.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Nie Siyan agree.
Although Nie Siyan's desire to change careers was somewhat unexpected, except for the bald man and others who were a little confused, the others didn't care, and were even a little happy. Because these people are the worst performers, the reason for their poor performance is either that they are not able to do this, or they are psychologically resistant and unwilling to do it. So changing careers is a good thing for them.
Nie Siyan said again:
"From now on, we'll change our name to the Firefly Club!"
Firefly is the name of this video game city.
"I've met the president!"
The bald man had the most eyes and immediately shouted. The others were a little slower by half a beat, and they all hurried to follow.
To be honest, when she saw these people respectfully shouting that she would be president, Nie Siyan still felt a little happy in her heart.
Power is something that both men and women are fascinated by.
However, she was only in a trance for a while, and soon came back to her senses.
"Since everyone calls me president, then I definitely can't ignore everyone, I will study the next development plan, and strive to make everyone live a good life. But I'm going to say something ugly, if anyone has affected our development, then don't blame me for being rude! ”
"Yes!"
The hearts of the people sank, and they immediately said yes.
"Okay, let's go down first, there shouldn't be any tasks in the past two days, everyone has a good rest."
"Yes!"
After sending these people away, Nie Siyan glanced at the bald man before going upstairs.
"Disband."
"Yes!"
The bald man saw Nie Siyan's back going upstairs, and his face was a little thoughtful.
He knew that Boss Huang's death was definitely not as simple as Nie Siyan said, and it was most likely related to those few Nie Siyan's friends! He hadn't forgotten that the strangers were still on it.
But this has nothing to do with him, he just needs to follow Nie Siyan firmly. He didn't know what it was, and it was thanks to them that they were still loyal, if it weren't for Nie Siyan's good words, he would probably be in prison at this time......
Third floor.
After Nie Siyan came up, she was still a little high-spirited just now, and immediately came to Wang Tao's side with a respectful face and knelt on one knee.
"Brother Wang, I have passed on according to your request......"
"Hmm."
Wang Tao nodded.
The Skull Club changed its name and let Nie Siyan be the president, these things were naturally Wang Tao's idea.
He himself doesn't look down on this president, but since Nie Siyan has made up his mind to follow him, let's support her.
If there is a force that runs errands for itself, sometimes it is quite convenient.
As for the pot that sold more than 200 people to prison, it was naturally thrown to the dead Huang Heng. The more troubled the times, the more important the reputation.
Anyway, Huang Heng is dead, and it is also appropriate to make more contributions. If there are any pots in the future, just throw them all on his head.
"Your next task is to go to other forces to buy second-order crystal nucleus ...... in the name of the Firefly Society."
