Chapter 185 Helping to Upgrade

"You don't need it..." Tao An looked at the two of them and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What it means is that all the psychics in our team have been upgraded." Xu Sa threw out a bomb but looked like it was nothing.

"All of them?" Although He Ping had long guessed that they were Class B, she didn't expect that they were all. The surprise on her face could no longer be concealed.

Tao An squinted his eyes and looked at the people around him, and finally returned his gaze to Ning Yuan, "How can I be sure that this thing of yours is useful? What if... it's a scam?"

"We will charge you after you upgrade," Ning Yuan said.

"Use it first and pay later, that's pretty practical, right?" Xu Sa said with a smile.

"Can't it be cheaper? Both jade and crystal core of this quality are not a small amount of money." He Ping picked up the jade on the table and looked at it, saying.

Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

"Precious things always have to have a price to match them," Xu Sa said. "Besides, Sister Ping, this is really not expensive. I just took a walk around the base and heard a lot of people who were pessimistic about your team. After all, the reason is strength. If you also had a few first-level psychics, who would dare to say anything? Don't you agree?"

He Ping said nothing.

"Was that a crystal core just now?" Tao An asked.

"Yes," Ning Yuan said, but did not tell him in detail what the crystal core was, "a crystal core that was discovered accidentally."

Tao An lowered his head in deep thought. For a moment, the only person left in the tent was Zhuang Aiyi reciting in a tender voice, "Two orioles sing in the green willows, a line of egrets fly in the blue sky..."

"Mr. Tao, you'd better stop thinking about other things. The consequences are not what you want to see," Zhuang Mingxu, who was holding Zhuang Aiyi and flipping through a book, suddenly said, "Let's cooperate fairly and part ways in peace. If things get awkward, we will definitely not be the ones who suffer."

Tao An turned his gaze to Zhuang Mingxu who was sitting in a wheelchair behind him. When their eyes met, they smiled. Tao An said, "Sir, you are overthinking. I was just calculating whether the team has enough crystal cores to buy."

Zhuang Mingxu did not expose him and said, "It is better to make a decision early about good things. Others may have missed an item, but you may have missed a life."

"..." Tao An pursed his lips and said nothing.

He Ping on the side said, "We want it, but I want you to watch my husband upgrade. If you succeed, you will get everything. If you fail..." She swept her eyes around the people present and said solemnly, "I will drag you along even if I die."

"Nannan..." Tao An.

"They are right, we don't have time to wait any longer." He Ping held Tao An's hand, tears in her eyes, "We have to fight. Don't worry, if you die, I won't live alone. I won't let those bastards have the chance to bully me."

"Sister Ping, Brother An" the youngest sister was also moved when she heard it.

"The relationship between Sister Ping and Sister Ping is really touching," Xu Sa praised with a smile, and said, "But you still have to provide the upgraded crystal cores yourselves, we are only responsible for keeping watch and making sure nothing goes wrong."

The touching atmosphere was interrupted by him. He Ping felt a lump in her chest and calmed down. "Okay, when can you guys come?"

Ning Yuan glanced back and asked, "Captain?"

Lu Weiyi felt a little awkward being called this, but he didn't refute. They needed a leader in front of outsiders.

He was still using his mental strength to organize the last few things and replied, "Anytime."

The clear voice made Yaomei and He Ping look over at the same time. Even Tao Ping stared at him carefully. He was surprised that a group of tough guys had such a young and immature captain. He was suspicious and a little afraid for a moment.

"We have limited time here. When would Sister Ping like to come?" Xu Sa asked.

"Twelve o'clock tonight" Now that the decision has been made, let's go back and arrange some things as soon as possible and start directly.

"We need to get the supplies after twelve o'clock. Are you sure you can do it?" Xu Sa pointed at the jade on the table. After all, the crystal cores can be taken out by all teams, with only some differences.

"Yes." Ever since the jade space appeared, everyone with the energy would collect some, and all major forces have no shortage of jade.

"However, the upgrade has to take place on my territory," Tao An said.

Lu Weiyi tidied up the space, stood up, stretched, and replied, "Okay."

"Let Liu... Ning Yuan and Antonio go with you." Zhuang Mingxu originally wanted to say Liu Rui, but Liu Rui was a stutterer. Antonio and Lu Weiyi were not talkative people when they had no purpose, so Ning Yuan could only come forward to do some diplomacy.

"Little daddy, aren't you going to sleep with Aiyi tonight?" Zhuang Aiyi closed his textbook and looked at him eagerly.

"Little daddy is busy, you stay with big daddy. I'll come back tomorrow and bring you your favorite milk tea, okay?" Spending every day with Zhuang Aiyi, Lu Weiyi gradually learned how to get along with children. He leaned over and kissed Zhuang Aiyi's fair and tender face, and said softly, "Hmm, it tastes like eggs. Did Grandpa Xi secretly make eggs for you to eat?"

Zhuang Aiyi chuckled and whispered mischievously, "Uncle Xi steamed some minced meat eggs for me. They were delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more. Sleep with your uncle at night and be good," Lu Weiyi said.

"Well, Aiyi is the best," Zhuang Aiyi said, covering her mouth with her little hands and waving at Lu Weiyi, making a "muah" sound in cooperation.

As cute as it can be.

Lu Weiyi stood up and touched his hair. He regained his calm expression and said to the three people at the entrance of the tent, "Let's go."

**

Along the way, Tao An wanted to talk to Lu Weiyi for a few words, but the man didn't say much, so Ning Yuan blocked his words.

At the moment of life and death, he did not have too many thoughts. He hurriedly arranged some things with a few confidants and took people directly to his home.

Tao An lives in a small villa, which is not big and does not even have a servant. The house is full of the atmosphere of life. You can even see a pair of couple pillows on the sofa, a black and a white cup on the table, and couple photos of Tao An and He Ping on the wall, which shows everywhere that the two have a very good relationship.

"What do you need me to do?" Tao An asked the people who came with them to sit down and asked Lu Weiyi.

"No need, just absorb the crystal core by yourself. I will cooperate with you if necessary," Lu Weiyi said, looking at others, "You wait outside."

Tao An nodded, hugged He Ping and kissed her, then went into the room without saying anything.

"Mr. Lu," He Ping reached out and grabbed Lu Weiyi's clothes. Her face was no longer as carefree as before. She was just a woman who was worried about her husband. She looked fragile all over. "Please."

Lu Weiyi nodded and followed him in.

The room was not big. There was a futon on the ground and a pile of crystal cores of various colors scattered around. Tao An sat on it barefoot and cross-legged, looking quite energetic.

I just don't know if I can still have the temperament when I'm in excruciating pain.

Lu Weiyi took a look at the environment, found a place not too far away and stood against the wall, and said, "Let's start."

Tao An took a deep breath, picked up the crystal core and began to absorb it. Lu Weiyi leaned against the wall, yawning sleepily, glancing at him from time to time.

When the time exceeded ten minutes, Lu Weiyi's gaze stopped on Tao An. The man lowered his head, his face could not be seen clearly, and his whole body seemed like stiff wood. Only his hands holding the crystal core from time to time showed that he was alive.

This ordinary process of upgrading by relying on crystal cores is extremely painful, and each level is more painful than the previous one, and it takes more time.

In his previous life, when he upgraded himself, he had a mutant plant crystal core left by Zhuang Mingxu. He was much better than others, but it was undeniable that he also relied on the crystal core to build up his strength, and he was still in excruciating pain.

At that time, he had never suffered any pain, and when he was in pain he lost all his image. He even begged Zhuang Mingxu to kill him. That was also when Zhuang Mingxu cried for the first time.

Looking at the man in front of him who was gritting his teeth, Lu Weiyi felt a little embarrassed. Of course, he had to admit that a tough man could indeed increase favorability, and he had the character of Zhuang Mingxu in his previous life.

After fifteen minutes, Tao An began to sweat on his forehead, and drops of sweat covered his forehead, making his face look even paler. The corner of his lip had been bitten by him, and a streak of blood was flowing. Under the illumination of the incandescent light, he looked creepy.

The arm that stretched out to take the crystal core trembled slightly, and the movements became much slower. Even though the mind knew to persevere, the body sought benefits and avoided harm, and every time seemed like a confrontation between the mind and the body. .

Lu Weiyi stepped forward and pushed the crystal core toward his hand.

Tao An wanted to say thank you, but when his lips moved, he felt that if he opened them he might moan, so he closed them tightly again.

Twenty minutes later, the energy in Tao An's body began to become unstable. His face was grim and he could no longer bite his lips. He clenched his teeth tightly, making a creaking sound. Lu Weiyi approached, took out a processed crystal core from the space and placed it in his palm, "Absorbed."

Tao An's consciousness was a little cloudy at this time, and he began to absorb the crystal core in the palm of his hand almost by inertia. After one crystal core went in, the violent pain that seemed to tear him apart disappeared. He became much more sober and felt that this was a really good thing.

"Go on," Lu Weiyi said after seeing him pause.

Tao An quickly gathered his mind and continued to absorb the crystal core. The following absorption was no different from usual and he didn't feel any discomfort at all. He absorbed it happily for about ten minutes and the energy accumulated in his body suddenly rushed out.

It worked.

Tao An took a deep breath. The matter that had been weighing on his mind was finally resolved, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

"Congratulations," Lu Weiyi said while yawning while Tao An was still in a daze.

"Oh, thank you." Tao An stood up from the futon a little embarrassedly, but he was in very good spirits. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

The quality of jade ornaments varied greatly, so Lu Weiyi calculated the weight at 2,500 kilograms and asked the other party to pay 500 crystal cores, all in one go.

"It's a pleasure to work with you all. You're still staying where you were last night. If you need anything, please tell me. It's getting late, so we won't keep you here tonight. We'll meet again tomorrow." He Ping had something to ask Tao An in a hurry, so she took the initiative to see him off.
