“Let’s hold on to them for now.”

Wang Tao promptly pocketed these crystal cores.

The 20 crystal cores could be combined into an Epic Crystal Core without side effects, naturally eliminating the restriction of having 10% internal impurities. However, he didn’t have anyone who could fuse with them at the moment, so it wasn’t possible.

Nie Siyan mentioned this to the people over at Zijin Base.

There were only nine members in the Firefly Club, and they were all second-order ability users. Even counting other people inside the arcade, that made just over thirty. These twenty crystal cores… were a bit too many.

Of course, Nie Siyan didn’t mean to return the crystal cores, but to tell them that no one in the Firefly Club could fuse with them, preventing collaboration. As said before, the higher-ranked forces received many benefits, but they also had to contribute a lot of manpower…

The people at Zijin Base hadn’t expected the Firefly Club to be so short on personnel. If it had been before today, they would likely be unhappy. But now, considering they had purchased some crystal cores and potions from Nie Siyan, they naturally smiled and said no problem, special circumstances called for special treatment.

Moreover, Nie Siyan had also said that during the operation to kill level 3 zombies, all of the Firefly Club’s second-order ability users would participate.

The contribution of these second-order combat powers would undoubtedly be greater than that of the Weakness Slime ability. So there was no question of the Firefly Club not pulling their weight…

“Next, everyone go back and fuse with the crystal cores, then we’ll have a special training tonight, and tomorrow we’ll go hunting level 3 zombies! Dismissed!”

People dispersed, all eager to fuse with such crystal cores. After all, rumors suggested that this ability was very powerful, and even level 3 zombies would be affected by it, though it was a level 1 ability…

The Thunder Guild glared viciously at the Firefly Club, but Nie Siyan glared back undaunted and flipped them the bird. The Thunder Guild, not wanting further embarrassment, could only leave in a huff.

After returning to the villa area with Nie Siyan and the others, Wang Tao thought for a moment, didn’t head straight back, but took Jiang Shixue by the hand and turned towards Villa No. 7.

It was time to freeload a meal.

When they arrived at Villa No. 7, they encountered Lu Yingfeng just coming back.

“Is dinner ready yet? I’m starving.”

Wang Tao greeted.

“…”

Lu Yingfeng felt Wang Tao was really treating himself like family!

But seeing Jiang Shixue peeking out from behind Wang Tao and looking at her with those pure, large eyes, Lu Yingfeng immediately thought, it’s just a meal, no big deal!

“Wang Tao, come in quickly! The food is ready!”

Lan Yulian, inside the house, saw Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue and immediately waved them over.

Lan Yulian was the cook today, and compared to the last time, her skills had improved quite a bit. Although it still didn’t look great, the taste was pretty good.

Lan Yulian had also prepared a lot of fruit for Jiang Shixue, including the large grapes they ate yesterday. Wang Tao didn’t hold back, acting as if he were at his own home.

During the meal, Wang Tao suddenly asked:

“That Weak Slime Crystal Core, I seem to have seen it before. I heard that the probability of successfully fusing with it is related to the amount of internal impurities. People who have fused with over twenty level 1 crystal cores have a much higher success rate when fusing with this kind of crystal core.”

“Ah?”

The two women were momentarily stunned, then both looked at Wang Tao with serious faces.

“Is the information reliable?”

“Of course.”

Wang Tao nodded.

“This information is very important! You don’t mind if I share it with others, do you?”

Lan Yulian asked Wang Tao.

“No problem.”

Wang Tao had shared this information with the intention of telling other people.

After all, they were working together to kill zombies. The more ability users with the Weakness Slime ability, the less danger there was in killing zombies, and the more zombies they could kill.

Wang Tao didn’t want to spread the word himself, partly because he didn’t have much fame, which might lead to skepticism, and partly because he didn’t want the hassle, which could lead to further troubles.

By directly telling Lan Yulian and the others, whether or not they believed it, Wang Tao had done his part.

Now it seemed, they trusted Wang Tao’s words quite a bit.

Moreover, such information could be verified with a trial. Even if Wang Tao was incorrect, there would be no loss, as they would have to fuse with crystal cores eventually anyway. If Wang Tao was right, it would be a huge gain!

The club also received a good number of Weak Slime Crystal Cores, and Lan Yulian ordered her subordinates to test them while sending people to notify other forces of this news.

Then Wang Tao produced some Strength Potions, Defense Potions, and Running Potions.

“These are what you specifically asked for.”

Lu Yingfeng had already told Lan Yulian about the events at the competition venue during the meal.

Hearing that Wang Tao had other miraculous potions, Lan Yulian’s eyes lit up, but she had restrained herself from rushing him.

Now that Wang Tao presented them, Lan Yulian was pleasantly surprised, and Lu Yingfeng shot Wang Tao a glare.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t have these potions on you before?”

Previously at the contest site, she had secretly asked Wang Tao if he had any potions because she felt the supply wouldn’t be too plentiful, and she wanted to buy some in advance.

Everyone thought that the potions belonged to Nie Siyan, but she knew for sure they were Wang Tao’s. The potions Nie Siyan showed off looked very similar to Wang Tao’s Rejuvenation Potions from before.

But Wang Tao had flat out said he didn’t have any, suggesting that they place orders with Nie Siyan if needed.
