Chapter 363 - Chapter 363: Chapter 172 Yang Changhong_1

Chapter 363: Chapter 172 Yang Changhong_1, Zhang Hong’s small hands were soft, but one could clearly feel the many calluses on them., HP: 6230

/6400, Mana: 2090

/3200, Grade: Level 2, Internal Impurity: 21%, With six thousand HP and three thousand mana, she was the boss of this group and the strongest Ability User among them., “Wang Tao.”, Wang Tao released her hand and introduced himself., “Mr. Wang, I apologize for the misunderstanding just now. It was due to my lack of discipline. I will punish him later. I hope you don’t take it to heart,” she said., Zhang Hong was extremely polite., This left the others somewhat puzzled. When had their boss ever been so courteous?, Could it be that the boss had taken a fancy to this big guy?, And truth be told, this big guy had a good-looking face and an explosive physique, which provided a great sense of security in the post-apocalyptic world…, Thinking this, quite a few of them glared at Wang Tao., After all, their boss, being both beautiful and powerful, had become the dream lover of many. They didn’t want her to fall for an outsider., Wang Tao could clearly sense that these people didn’t have such strong hostility towards him before, but after Zhang Hong came over, that hostility had increased significantly., Women truly were troublesome creatures., “Is there anything else?” Wang Tao asked, looking at her., Zhang Hong clearly had something to say; otherwise, she would either fight or leave. In this post-apocalyptic world, there was hardly time for small talk., Zhang Hong gave Wang Tao a flirtatious glance and then glimpsed at the empty airdrop box beside him:, “If Mr. Wang doesn’t mind, could you tell me what was in that airdrop box? If it happens to be something we need, I can trade other items for it. What do you think?”, Wang Tao’s expression didn’t change; after all, from the outside, the only thing that seemed to be of value to others was the airdrop. So he directly asked:, “What do you have for trade?”, “Food, weapons, vehicles… anything is fine, but only if the contents of the airdrop box are worth it.”, Zhang Hong appeared very confident., Wang Tao raised an eyebrow. So she was a rich lady?, He glanced back at Xu Xiaojun., “Show it to Miss Yang.”, “Okay!”, Xu Xiaojun took out the newly packed Crystal Core Synthesizer., “Hmm?”, Zhang Hong frowned. She didn’t recognize this device., “Sorry, we don’t need this thing. I’ve disturbed you enough.”, Zhang Hong shook her head. What she needed the most was the Inhibitor. Everything else was optional, but the Inhibitor was essential., After speaking, Zhang Hong turned to leave without any hesitation, losing all the warmth and eagerness she had just shown., This response left Wang Tao somewhat puzzled. Was this woman really so pragmatic? And she didn’t even ask what the machine was specifically?, However, Wang Tao did appreciate one thing about Zhang Hong: she didn’t attack him and his two companions., After all, from the looks of it, it should have been easy for their group of more than ten to deal with the three of them., Whether she was being cautious or she had her principles, in the end, she indeed did not make a move, nor did she intend to., Seeing Zhang Hong about to leave with her group, with no intention of further communication with Wang Tao, he said to Xu Xiaojun:, “Little Jun, pack up the Crystal Core Synthesizer. Let’s go.”, “Oh.”, Xu Xiaojun promptly wrapped up the device again., But just as Zhang Hong was pulling open the car door, ready to get in, her step hesitated. A second later, she turned around, her smile warm and radiant., “Mr. Wang, I suddenly remembered that I didn’t ask for the name of this device. May I know what it’s called?”, “The Crystal Core Synthesizer. It’s a small device that removes the side effects from Crystal Cores through synthesis. However, it only works on Level 1 Crystal Cores,” Wang Tao said nonchalantly., “Remove side effects!”, Before Zhang Hong could speak, the other survivors who heard this all widened their eyes., “Side effects can be removed? For real?”, “It’s the end of the world, and technology is still so advanced?”, “Could it be a scam?”, “…”, The survivors whispered amongst themselves., Zhang Hong took a deep breath and spoke seriously:, “If this device really does what Mr. Wang says, then I want it. Name your price, Mr. Wang, whatever you need.”, Observing Zhang Hong acting like ‘money is no object,’ Wang Tao expressed a hint of confusion., “Miss Yang, I didn’t say anything about trading with you, did I?”, “…”, Zhang Hong carefully recalled the conversation, and indeed—it seemed that was the case. She wanted to know what it was, and Wang Tao showed her. Wang Tao had asked what she had, and she had mentioned a few. From start to finish, Wang Tao had never said he wanted to trade the device with her., After all, according to Wang Tao, this was a device that could extract the side effects from Crystal Cores. In many cases, such a device could be much more valuable than the Inhibitor!, It made perfect sense for Wang Tao not to trade with her, but this was something Zhang Hong couldn’t accept., If she didn’t know about such a brilliant device, it would be one thing, but now that she did, it was a must-have., With it, she wouldn’t necessarily need to mass-produce Ability Users, but it would undoubtedly boost the strength of her subordinates dramatically!, “Mr. Wang, there’s no trade that can’t be made, it’s just a matter of price…,” Zhang Hong eyed Wang Tao and his two companions., A big guy, a Fatty, and a girl hiding behind the big guy whose face couldn’t be seen, plus not much luggage…
