Chapter 465: Chapter 206: Selling Items (Seeking Basic Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)_1

Nie Siyan returned before dark.

“Brother Wang!”

She came trotting over excitedly, holding a list and a carry bag.

“These are the people who want to buy Crystal Cores and Potions, and they have all paid a deposit!”

Wang Tao looked at the carry bag, which contained a pile of Crystal Cores.

“Well done!”

According to the list, Wang Tao took out the required Crystal Cores and Potions and handed them to Nie Siyan. He had been planning to tell Nie Siyan to complete the trade with them tomorrow.

But Nie Siyan quickly said:

“Brother Wang, I’ll go and finalize the transactions with them right now!”

Seeing Nie Siyan’s diligent and earnest demeanor, Wang Tao was very pleased. He decided to reward her handsomely tonight.

Busy until midnight, Nie Siyan returned to Villa No. 8 once again.

“Brother Wang, all the transactions have been completed, and I’ve also received a batch of new orders!”

Nie Siyan, presenting it as though she were bestowing a treasure, showed Wang Tao all the Crystal Cores and yet another order list.

Wang Tao gave Nie Siyan a surprised glance.

The items Nie Siyan had sold today even surpassed what he had sold to Lan Yulian and the others!

Looking at Nie Siyan’s expectant “please praise me” expression, Wang Tao asked with a smile:

“Tell me, what reward do you want?”

“Ah? A reward?”

Nie Siyan hadn’t expected there to be a reward. All she wanted now was to cling tightly to Wang Tao’s powerful coattails.

However, since there was a reward on offer, she certainly wasn’t going to turn it down.

“Any reward is fine?”

Nie Siyan’s eyes darted around playfully.

“Let’s hear it first.”

Wang Tao didn’t answer directly.

“I… I want…”

…

The next day.

Nie Siyan woke up early.

Not only did she not feel any discomfort, but she was also positively radiant.

Somehow, she had acquired an ultra-short black and white maid outfit and knelt beside Wang Tao, waking him up with her mouth.

“Master~ time to get up~”

Once Wang Tao was awake, she then helped him get dressed.

Wang Tao stroked Nie Siyan’s hair, feeling somewhat moved. This Nie Siyan really knew how to play the game!

After attending to Wang Tao, Nie Siyan changed into more formal attire and, after having breakfast with Wang Tao and the others, left the villa.

Today, a competition between forces was to be held, taking place in a sunken square surrounded by steps, capable of accommodating many spectators.

The official upgrade operation was set for tomorrow, which was to clear zombies out of the gymnasium. Time was tight, and the situation at the gymnasium was probably not good…

When they arrived at the square, there was already a large crowd gathered.

There were not only people from external forces, but also many survivors from Zijin Base.

After all, it was a rare opportunity to witness a battle between Ability Users, not to be missed.

Seeing so many spectators, the people from external forces were excited; they loved the sensation of being in the spotlight!

There were not many rules for this competition.

Participants would draw lots and duel in pairs according to similar numbers. Winners would advance, losers would be eliminated, and before being eliminated, there would be another round to determine the rankings.

The competition would continue this way until the quarterfinals, at which point the rules would change.

Before the quarterfinals, each force would send one person to compete in a single match, with the winner advancing and the loser being eliminated.

After the quarterfinals, each force would send three people to fight in three matches. The best two out of three would advance, leading up to the final round.

Many forces had arrived, but Wang Tao estimated that the combat would proceed quickly.

After all, this was not a sport with fixed time and rule constraints. An Ability User’s 1v1 combat could end instantaneously.

So, even though there were many contenders and subsequent rounds required two out of three matches, the overall pace would still be swift.

Shortly after, people from the four main forces also arrived. They might not be participating, but they would certainly come to watch.

The first to arrive were people from Zijin Base.

Wang Tao glanced over. Although their leader wasn’t present, the rest were strong, several boasting 29999 HP… befitting the top-ranked force.

Then came the prison members.

These individuals perfectly matched Wang Tao’s stereotype of criminals: sinister faces, tattoos, smug expressions, and a slouching gait…

As they approached, the crowd immediately made way, clearly preferring to avoid too much contact with them.

Despite their disagreeable appearance, these inmates were strong, with several Ability Users among them also having 29999 HP.

The third group was the Ability User’s Alliance.

They had the fewest members, only four, but all four had 29999 HP.

These four individuals were indifferent, stern, and out of place among most people. They might as well have written “Don’t bother me” across their foreheads.

The last to arrive was naturally the Vast Club.

This was the force that received a storm of cheers upon entering.

No choice there; after all, they were a group of women!

Not to speak of their faces, as beauty is subjective and can’t be generalized, but their figures received unanimous approval. After all, the heavier ones had been eliminated, leaving behind women with at least proportionate figures, especially with so many of them standing together—their line of long legs was a striking sight.

The leader of the Club, Lan Yulian, also had not come; the group was led by Lu Yingfeng instead.

Lu Yingfeng casually scanned the crowd, and with just one glance, spotted Wang Tao. She nodded slightly as a greeting.

Once everyone from the four major forces had taken their seats, a representative from Zijin Base began to announce the rules of the match.

“No intentional injury or life-threatening attacks, no stalling…”

“Now, let the match begin!”

Dong!

The host struck the gong once.
