Chapter 444: Chapter 199 Firefly Club Strength Enhancement_1

Dong Dong Dong—
“Come in.”
Wang Tao responded without looking up.
He was studying the map of Zijing City, preparing to pick the next area to explore. If he didn’t encounter a Level 3 zombie soon, he was even considering luring a Night Demon at night…
Wang Tao felt someone come in but didn’t hear them speak.
He looked up with some confusion and saw Nie Siyan, who was clearly dressed up, standing hesitantly in front of him.
Today, Nie Siyan wore a tight, ultra-short blue-and-white porcelain cheongsam.
Her figure was already very alluring, and in this outfit, she resembled a character from some peninsula comic.
“Brother Wang… I’m here…”
Nie Siyan bit her red lips, cheeks slightly flushed as she looked at Wang Tao.
Wang Tao was somewhat speechless. He had asked for her to discuss important matters, but what was she implying now?
Nie Siyan, seeing that Wang Tao wasn’t speaking, thought he wanted to see her perform.
So she walked around the desk and crawled underneath.
Suddenly, there came another knock on the door from outside.
“Come in.”
Wang Tao’s expression remained unchanged.
“Brother Wang.”
Xu Xiaojun had arrived.
Seeing that Wang Tao had grown so strong yet still trained so diligently, he too took every opportunity to exercise. He had just been practicing his Shockwave and didn’t quite understand some parts, so he wanted to ask for Wang Tao’s advice. Wang Tao never held back from his own people. He sat there and shared his experiences with using abilities, and after more than half an hour, Xu Xiaojun left, satisfied.
Not long after Xu Xiaojun left, Nie Siyan finally came out.
“By the way, what did you come for?”
Wang Tao suddenly asked.
“Brother Wang, wasn’t it you who asked me to come over at night?”
Nie Siyan immediately gave Wang Tao a white look.
Damn man, still putting on a serious face.
Wang Tao slapped his forehead, almost forgetting the main issue.
“I asked you here for serious business, not for this sort of underhanded trickery. Don’t let it happen again.”
Wang Tao said solemnly.
“You’re right to correct me, Brother Wang! Shall I massage your legs for you?”
Nie Siyan didn’t argue. She went to wash her hands first, then moved a bit to sit beside Wang Tao and began to massage his legs.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand and could just rest it on Nie Siyan’s head. He stroked her hair while Nie Siyan, like a little puppy, rubbed her head against the palm of his hand.
“You’re too weak.”
The first thing Wang Tao said made Nie Siyan’s heart skip a beat. She thought Wang Tao was going to abandon her. But to her relief and surprise, his next words filled her with joy.
“So we need to enhance that.”
Nie Siyan didn’t dare to speak and just kept massaging Wang Tao’s legs, her heart practically leaping with excitement.
“What Crystal Core do you want?”
Wang Tao asked again.
Nie Siyan felt her heartbeat speeding up.
Wang Tao was actually letting her choose!
But Nie Siyan was sensible, and although Wang Tao allowed her to pick, she didn’t dare to be too picky. Besides, she really didn’t know much about Crystal Cores.
“I don’t understand these things, you decide for me…”
Nie Siyan said pleasingly.
“Alright then.”
Wang Tao thought for a moment and took out two orange and two red Level Two Crystal Cores.
The two orange ones were Rush and Athlete, and both red ones were Ascension.
Nie Siyan currently only had two Level 1 Special Abilities, Throwing Master and Dream Interpretation. Obviously, that was too weak; she needed to ascend both abilities to Level Two at the very least.
Moreover, Nie Siyan was clearly capable of merging four abilities, but she only had two, which was quite a waste. It was necessary to fill up her other two abilities.
Wang Tao thought that Rush and Athlete were not bad.
Rush could be considered an offensive and defensive ability, good for both fighting and fleeing. Athlete was a passive ability that provided enhanced physical capabilities, very suitable for surviving the apocalypse.
Plus, with Nie Siyan’s already existing Throwing Master, Wang Tao felt it was good enough.
“All these… for me?”
When Nie Siyan saw the four Crystal Cores in front of her, she was somewhat stunned.
She had originally thought that it would be great if Wang Tao gave her a blue or higher Level Two Crystal Core. A Purple Crystal Core would be even better.
As for red and orange, to be honest, she had only heard of them and had never seen such Crystal Cores!
She never expected Wang Tao to give her red and orange ones, and four of them all at once! Four of them!
This made her feel like she was dreaming.
After all, her relationship with Wang Tao had not been good before, and even though they had become slightly closer now, it shouldn’t warrant such a generous gift!
In fact, she still had no idea how strong Wang Tao really was. If she knew that Wang Tao had killed two Level 3 zombies a few days ago when they encountered the Level 4, Monster Lord, she wouldn’t have been so shocked now.
“What? Don’t want them?”
Wang Tao pinched Nie Siyan’s face.
“I do!”
Nie Siyan quickly took the Crystal Cores into her hands, then looked at Wang Tao with a mix of complications and gratitude.
“Brother Wang, rest assured, I will never betray you in my life! If I go back on my word, may I be struck dead by lightning!”
Wang Tao didn’t take Nie Siyan’s oath to heart. He smiled and patted her cheek.
“I hope you’ll keep your word.”
“I certainly will!”
Nie Siyan knew that Wang Tao might not fully trust her. After all, she had personally killed her husband before, although she was forced, but it was a fact.
However, Nie Siyan also knew that talking too much was useless and that the proof was in the pudding. From now on, she just needed to show Wang Tao her actions!
“Also, your subordinates are too weak. We’re going to Zijin Base in a few days; with such weak abilities, what benefits could you possibly compete for? So we need to also enhance their strengths… I’ll give you some more Crystal Cores, let them merge with them.”
