Chapter 195 Firefly Club

Video arcade, night.

Wang Tao looked at the crystal core in his hand and grinned.

The population in the end times is not worth anything. If you get any disease, or get infected with the zombie virus, or are affected by the battle, you will die.

But it is valuable, because an ordinary person can be exchanged for 1 first-level white crystal core! A first-level superpower can be exchanged for at least 20 first-level white crystal cores!

This is the market price in Zijing City, and it has been this price recently.

So after Wang Tao sent these people to prison, he got 700 first-level white crystal cores!

In addition to the crystal cores found from these people and their homes, and the crystal cores from Nie Siyan, Huang Heng and other four second-level superpowers, Wang Tao got a total of 2,000 first-level crystal cores and 50 second-level crystal cores this time!

Although most of these crystal cores are pretty rubbish, they are useless crystal cores such as self-explosion and big stomach king, or crystal cores with super side effects.

But Wang Tao doesn't care about these, anyway, he can synthesize them.

As long as he synthesizes these white crystal cores into orange, even the self-destructing crystal cores will become very valuable!

After all, many forces have crystal core synthesizers in their hands, which can remove the side effects of crystal cores by synthesizing crystal cores. But the crystal core synthesizer can only synthesize crystal cores of the same level and quality.

For example, if you want to remove the side effects of a first-level orange crystal core, you have to use many first-level orange crystal cores to synthesize it.

So even if it is a useless crystal core such as self-destruction and big stomach king, as long as it is not white, the price will increase a lot. If it is orange, the value will double directly.

Wang Tao plans to synthesize some of these first-level crystal cores and go back to trade second-level crystal cores with others.

Zijing City is very large, and there are many survivors. Even if the crystal cores are rare, the overall number must be not small, far more than what Wang Tao collected alone. There are many crystal cores in the prison, and maybe we can trade with them in the future.

And it must be said that this prison is also very trustworthy. There were no moths in this transaction, and it was completed smoothly. They gave the crystal core very refreshingly.

But it is understandable. After all, the prison is now the force with the worst reputation in Zijing City, no doubt about it. Compared with them, the Skull Society is nothing.

With such a bad reputation, there is no way to save it.

No one will go to the prison now. Even if they are survivors from outside, as long as they stay in Zijing City for a few days, they will know the bad reputation of the prison.

And the prison needs fresh blood... so the prison can only buy people from other places.

But their reputation is so bad that let alone other survivors, even these medium-sized forces dare not trade with them.

The prison has no choice but to improve its reputation in other aspects, such as trading quickly, keeping promises, not defaulting on crystal cores, abiding by rules, etc.

Not to mention, although this cannot change their reputation, they have indeed made considerable progress in cooperation with other forces.

As long as the prison abides by the trading rules, there are still many people willing to trade with the prison. After all, no one will mess with crystal cores and inhibitors.

So after a period of development, although the prison's reputation is still very bad, the prison's reputation is very good.

The prison doesn't care about reputation. As long as they are strong and someone does business with them, that's enough...

Wang Tao was picking crystal cores when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.

He is now sitting in front of the window and can clearly see a sneaky figure downstairs. That person is none other than Nie Siyan.

"Is this woman back?"

Wang Tao was very surprised.

This transaction of sending more than 200 people to prison lasted for a day. After Wang Tao got the crystal core, he didn't bother to care about Nie Siyan. She could leave at any time.

Since Wang Tao said he would spare her life, Wang Tao would definitely not break his promise. After all, this woman is no longer useful to him.

After that, the transaction ended in the evening, and the woman didn't come back. Wang Tao thought she had left.

But now, she is back again?

The person on duty saw Nie Siyan and naturally opened the door quickly.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

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 under the dim light. She was a little scared, but she still walked over.

"Brother Wang..."

In fact, she is older than Wang Tao, so calling him Brother Wang is naturally a relatively intimate title. Moreover, she still doesn't know what Wang Tao's name is, but she only knows that Xu Xiaojun calls him Brother Wang.

"Why did you come back?"

Wang Tao was a little confused.

Is this woman an M-type? He treated her like that, and she dared to come back?

But when Nie Siyan heard this, she thought Wang Tao was asking for punishment.

She immediately fell to her knees in front of Wang Tao.

"Brother Wang, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have run away, please punish me!"

Hearing this, Wang Tao looked at her thoughtfully.

"Do you want to follow me?"

"Yes! I want to follow Brother Wang!"

Nie Siyan spoke quickly.

She had already run away today, and she didn't take any crystal cores, so Wang Tao would not deliberately chase her. But on the way to escape, she suddenly didn't want to run anymore.

It's not that she likes to be abused, but she found that she had nowhere to go... Wang Tao was so strong, she wanted to follow Wang Tao!

Admiring the strong is the nature of many people, and she is no exception.

Wang Tao is the most powerful psychic she has ever seen! Following such a psychic is definitely more promising than following Huang Heng!

And more importantly, although Wang Tao beat her many times, she was subconsciously terrified 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 cheat" and "sending survivors who can earn him crystal cores to prison".

If she joins other forces, she doesn't know what those bosses are like. In a place like a prison, it's okay to do business, but she dare not join!

As for setting up a force by herself, she knows that she is not that material. After all, her combat ability is not strong...

So after thinking about it seriously, Nie Siyan decided to return to the arcade.

Although she knew that Wang Tao hated her, she also did a lot 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 nod, and he said with a half-smile:

"Then do you think you are worthy?"

Wang Tao was not mocking her, but she had to look at who was around Wang Tao, one Xu Xiaojun, one Jiang Shixue, who could she compare to?

"I am not worthy! I know I am not worthy, but I hope Brother Wang can give me a chance! I will definitely perform well..."

Nie Siyan lay at Wang Tao's feet, prostrating herself.

Wang Tao frowned and thought for a while.

He felt that this Nie Siyan should really want to follow him, after all, his strength is obvious to all.

But Wang Tao was unwilling to bring a burden, and to be honest, Wang Tao did not believe in her character.

After all, she could kill his husband and brother-in-law personally, and she was also proficient in cheating and deceiving. How could Wang Tao trust such a person?

But seeing Nie Siyan's "I am very sensible" look, Wang Tao felt that although it was impossible to take her to the military base, he had to stay in Zijing City for a while, and maybe he could leave her here to run errands and do miscellaneous things.

"Raise your head."

Wang Tao ordered.

Nie Siyan immediately raised her head, looking at Wang Tao with some fear and expectation.

Wang Tao reached out and gently stroked Nie Siyan's hair, just like stroking a puppy.

"I'll give you a chance. Perform well. I hope you won't let me down. Otherwise..."

Wang Tao's hand slowly slid down and placed on Nie Siyan's neck.

Nie Si's hair stood up instantly, but her pupils showed a hint of joy. She immediately promised:

"Yes! I will definitely not let Brother Wang down!"

"Then go down."

Wang Tao patted her little face, Nie Siyan slowly stood up, and then left the room very respectfully.

After going out, she immediately leaned against the wall, and she felt her back was wet. But she was still a little excited at the moment.

Although Wang Tao did not directly say that he would accept her, he gave her a chance. She had to seize this opportunity! As long as she can serve Wang Tao happily, she will definitely get benefits - even if Wang Tao does not reward her with anything, but simply provides her with a shelter, it is worth it!

Inside the house, Wang Tao packed up the crystal core and went to bed.

It doesn't matter whether Nie Siyan stays or not. Seeing that she came back on her own initiative, she will 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 clingy kitten.

"Sleep."

...

The next day.

Nie Siyan called everyone together again.

Her face was a little sad.

Everyone didn't understand why, but they were very uneasy.

Because they found that those who made high contributions yesterday were gone - they were asked to stay in the parking lot behind the arcade before, and they didn't know what happened in the hall.

They thought that Boss Huang took those people to other places alone to enjoy some benefits. Or Boss Huang abandoned them and went to the new base with those people...

The more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt.

After all, in this situation, if there is no powerful superpower to protect them, they may not be able to survive!

After everyone came, Nie Siyan said in a low voice:

"Those people who were called out yesterday... were sold to prison."

"???"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then there was an uproar in an instant.

Sold to prison? They are in this business, how could they not know what this means? This basically declares these people dead, and it is a tragic death!

"Why, why..."

An ordinary person asked tremblingly.

He doesn't want to be sold to prison, he wants to live!

"Because Boss Huang is short of crystal cores, he sold these people for crystal cores..."

Nie Siyan explained.

"..."

Everyone was a little dumbfounded.

How could the boss be short of crystal cores? Even if he is short of crystal cores, shouldn't he squeeze them and make them work harder! How can you kill the chicken to get the eggs and sell people...

Everyone was in danger in an instant.

If the boss can sell those with good performance, then he can definitely sell them!

They even suspected that Nie Siyan would tie them up later...

But then Nie Siyan said:

"We were just as confused as you about Boss Huang's behavior, so we went to talk to him. Then... Huang Wei and Liao Xia had a fight with Boss Huang..."

"???"

Everyone was puzzled again.

The leadership fought? Is this okay?

But what shocked them was yet to come.

Nie Siyan continued:

"As a result, Huang Wei and Liao Xia died..."

"???"

"Boss Huang is dead too."

"!!!"

Now, not only the survivors, but also the bald man and Nie Siyan's confidants were dumbfounded. It all feels like a bolt from the blue.

The boss is dead?

The boss's biological brother and the boss's second wife are also dead?

Three of the four second-level superpowers from their Skull and Bones Society died directly?

Although it is said that when some people were insulted by Boss Huang, they also had thoughts that they wished Boss Huang would die soon. But that's just an idea. Rationally speaking, everyone doesn't want anything to happen to Boss Huang. After all, they have all survived until now under the protection of Boss Huang.

If there is no such powerful second-level superpower like Boss Huang, how will ordinary people and first-level superpowers like them live in the future... The Skull and Bones Society may not all have to fall out of the medium-sized force!

According to the established rules in Bauhinia City, only the forces formed by superpowers will be recognized by the majority of people, and only the forces formed by second-level superpowers can be called medium-sized forces.

In the past, the Skeleton Club had four second-level superpowers, especially Boss Huang, who had very strong combat power. Therefore, the overall strength of the Skull and Bones Society is considered acceptable among medium-sized forces.

But now, their population has not only dropped by 80% to 90%! Three second-level superpowers died! There is only one second-level superpower left, and it is Nie Siyan who is not very powerful in combat...

Everyone felt that their eyes were darkened.

It's over, Skull and Bones is completely over...

The reputation of medium-sized forces does not matter, and reputation is not what they care about. Rather, if the strength of an organization plummets, other organizations will definitely fall into trouble!

The Skull and Bones Society has offended many people before, and they might step on it.

There are also people who covet Skull and Bones Society supplies, and they must be very interested in the current Skull and Bones Society. After all, the news that Boss Huang has sold more than 200 people will definitely spread. These are all crystal nuclei and inhibitors...

As for whether what Nie Siyan said is true or false, and what role Nie Siyan plays... no one has considered it. Since none of the three bosses and bosses showed up, something must have happened to them. What we need to consider now is not the specific inside story, but what to do in the future...

Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Nie Siyan said:

"If anyone is willing to leave, they can leave."

No one moved.

Everyone is not a fool. Even if the Skull and Bones Society's strength has plummeted, there is still a second-level superpower in charge. If they leave, they will really have no protection at all...

"Sister Nie, you will be our new boss from now on!"

The bald man next to Nie Siyan suddenly said loudly.

Others quickly agreed that if Nie Siyan left, the Skull and Bones Society would really be disbanded.

Looking at the expectant looks of everyone, Nie Siyan glanced upstairs again without missing a trace. Then he sighed and said:

"Since everyone trusts me so much, I can't let you down. But I plan not to engage in human trafficking business in the future. I will also change my name to draw a clear line from the previous Skull and Bones Society..."

The name "Skull and Bones" was a name Huang Heng thought of casually at the time. It had no meaning. He simply thought it was domineering.

Everyone was relieved when they heard Nie Siyan agreed.

Although Nie Siyan's desire to change careers was somewhat unexpected, except for the bald man and others who were a little confused, others were indifferent and even a little happy. Because these people have the worst performance, the reason for their poor performance is either that they are not capable of doing this, or they are psychologically resistant and unwilling to do it. So changing careers is actually a good thing for them.

Nie Siyan said again:

"Then let's change our name to the Firefly Club!"

Firefly is the name of this arcade city.

"Meet the president!"

The bald man was the most discerning and shouted immediately. The others were a little slower than half a beat, but they also hurriedly caught up.

To be honest, Nie Siyan felt a little happy when she saw these people respectfully calling her president.

Power is something that both men and women are easily obsessed with.

But she was just in a daze for a moment, and soon came back to her senses.

"Since everyone calls me president, I definitely can't ignore everyone. I will study the next development plan and strive to let everyone live a good life. But I will say something ugly first. If anyone affects our development , then don’t blame me for being rude!”

"yes!"

Everyone was shocked and immediately agreed.

"Okay, let's go down first. There shouldn't be any tasks in these two days. Everyone should have a good rest."

"yes!"

After sending these people away, Nie Siyan glanced at the bald men before going upstairs.

"Disband."

"yes!"

The bald man looked thoughtful when he saw Nie Siyan walking upstairs.

He knew that the death of Boss Huang was definitely not as simple as Nie Siyan said. It was most likely related to those Nie Siyan's friends! He didn't forget that the strangers were still up there.

But this has nothing to do with him, he just needs to follow Nie Siyan firmly. He didn't know it was, but thanks to their loyalty, if it weren't for Nie Siyan's kind words, he and the others would probably be in jail right now...

third floor.

After Nie Siyan came up, she, who was still a little high-spirited just now, immediately came to Wang Tao with a respectful look and knelt down on one knee.

"Brother Wang, I have conveyed everything as you requested..."

"Yes."

Wang Tao nodded.

The Skeleton Society changed its name and let Nie Siyan be the president. These things were naturally Wang Tao's ideas.

He himself looked down on this president, but since Nie Siyan was determined to follow him, he would support her and see.

Sometimes it is quite convenient to have a force to run errands for you.

As for the blame for selling more than 200 people to prison, it was naturally thrown to the dead Huang Heng. The more chaotic the world, the more important the reputation.

Anyway, Huang Heng is dead, so it is right for him to make more contributions. If there are any more pots in the future, just throw them all on him.

"Your next task is to go to other forces in the name of the Firefly Society to buy second-level crystal cores..."
