Chapter 425: Chapter 192 Crystal Core Currency_3
Reaching the window, Wang Tao could already imagine the number of Crystal Cores here.
“Since Crystal Cores are already taken as currency here, perhaps I can try trading with others…”
Wang Tao was still quite short of Level 2 Crystal Cores, as his own Ability hadn’t yet reached its maximum enhancement. And now there was also Xu Xiaojun…
However, he had many fine items, which he imagined many would covet. He planned to look back later to see if there were opportunities to sell some things in exchange for some Crystal Cores.
Of course, he couldn’t neglect the search for Level 2 zombies and even Level 3 zombies. His HP might have reached the upper limit of Level Two, but one can never have too much Special Energy…
After some time, Nie Siyan, holding back the severe pain in her body, finally managed to clean up the place. Then she took a cold shower, washing herself until she was squeaky clean.
Nie Siyan was now wearing a silk nightgown, her curvaceous body faintly visible. Her face was slightly swollen, but without any makeup, her complexion pale, she looked somewhat pitiful…
Seeing her like this, Wang Tao felt the urge to slap her again.
“Who are you dressing up for like this? Continue with your previous outfit.”
Wang Tao said coldly.
“Oh right, immediately!”
Nie Siyan got a fright.
Her choice of dress was indeed an attempt to gain Wang Tao’s sympathy, and to see if she could possibly seduce him—she was close to death, and for the sake of survival, she was willing to do anything. But to her surprise, Wang Tao wasn’t taking the bait.
Nie Siyan didn’t dare make Wang Tao wait too long, promptly emerging in a tight leather outfit with heavy makeup, limping out.
“That’s more like it.”
Wang Tao nodded in approval.
It wasn’t that he had any special fetishes, but he was planning to use Nie Siyan to trap Huang Heng, the leader of the Skull Club. If Nie Siyan looked different from usual, it might raise suspicions.
“Come here.”
Wang Tao beckoned, and Nie Siyan immediately quickened her pace to Wang Tao’s side, even consciously kneeling at his feet, a look of entreaty on her face.
Wang Tao looked down at her and said,
“I’m giving you a potion. When Huang Heng comes back, find a way to make him drink it. Complete this task, and I won’t kill you.”
“Ah… I, I’ll get caught…”
Nie Siyan’s face turned bitter upon hearing the task.
If she were discovered trying to poison him, she would be killed by Wang Tao if not by Huang Heng.
“That depends on how you pull it off. The potion is colorless and odorless; it won’t draw his attention.”
Wang Tao handed Nie Siyan a bottle of Weakness Potion.
The three Level 2 Ability Users from the Skull Club all had HP over ten thousand, and since Huang Heng was much stronger than them, his HP could potentially exceed twenty thousand. Wang Tao himself had barely thirty thousand HP, so being cautious with such Ability Users was no problem.
Moreover, if second-order Ability Users were to fight openly, it might cause a big commotion and attract unnecessary trouble.
Wang Tao sought a swift and decisive victory to take down Huang Heng quickly.
If Nie Siyan could administer a bottle of Weakness Potion to him, that would simplify things immensely.
Nie Siyan accepted the potion with a troubled look, her mind racing, pondering excuses to drug Huang Heng.
As for whether or not to poison him, she didn’t even need to think about it—she certainly had to. Although they were husband and wife, in times of great crisis, every bird flies its separate way. At this juncture, her own life mattered most!
Nie Siyan roughly knew what Huang Heng would have been up to, estimating that he would return around evening.
But Huang Heng’s return was much later than she had expected.
As night approached, a small off-road vehicle cautiously arrived at the foot of the video game arcade building.
Seeing Huang Heng’s car finally return, Nie Siyan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went downstairs to greet him.
Huang Heng was a man who looked very similar to Huang Wu but was noticeably more mature. He was alone in the car, as he preferred to act solo. It wasn’t that he disliked others holding him back, but rather he was worried others would steal his kills.
After getting out of the car, he saw Nie Siyan waiting nearby and was somewhat surprised.
“Hmm? You’re back? How was the harvest? If you don’t complete the task this week, even you will have to accept the punishment. By the way, is Liao Xia asleep?”
Huang Heng said with a stern face.
“I…”
Nie Siyan still harbored a sliver of thought to inform Huang Heng, but seeing his demeanor, that last thread of thought vanished.
Huang Heng started by scolding her and asking about Liao Xia; he didn’t even notice that his own face was swollen. The excuse she had painstakingly thought of couldn’t be used…
Taking a deep breath, Nie Siyan smiled sweetly.
“Little Liao is upstairs waiting for you, she’s taking a shower…”
At these words, Huang Heng’s eyes lit up.
“Just right, I want to take a shower too. Let’s go up.”
“Okay.”
Nie Siyan, enduring the pain in her leg, leaned on a stick and limped behind Huang Heng.
“What happened to your leg?”
Huang Heng suddenly turned around.
“I ran into a tough Level 2 Zombie earlier, I couldn’t beat it, and I broke my leg while escaping…”
Nie Siyan spoke as if she was a bit embarrassed.
“Hmm? A Level 2 Zombie! Where exactly, I’ll go kill it tomorrow!”
“…”
Nie Siyan made up an address on the spot.
Soon, the two of them arrived on the third floor.
As soon as Huang Heng entered the room, he started to undress, getting ready to shower.
After throwing down his shriveled water bag, Nie Siyan immediately picked up a cup of water and naturally offered it to him.
“Thirsty, huh? Have some water.”
Nie Siyan’s expression remained unchanged, but her heart was very tense.
Huang Heng didn’t give it much thought; he was indeed feeling quite thirsty.
Seeing that the water looked clear and had no strange taste, he drank it all in one gulp.
Gulp~
“Hu—refreshing!”
However, after drinking the water, his legs suddenly went weak, and he nearly stumbled and fell.
Before Huang Heng could figure out what was happening, he saw a figure with a large axe appear behind him.
In an instant, he felt a chilling terror.
Without thinking, he instinctively tried to run away, but his speed was much slower than usual, causing him to stumble.
Bang!
The back of the massive axe head struck directly on the back of Huang Heng’s neck.
All Huang Heng felt was darkness before his eyes as he passed out.
