Chapter 210 How Heartless!
When Ye Sangyu heard Meng Shiwan praise her, she grinned even more, revealing two small dimples, and said, "Oh, not at all, you're still prettier, sister."
Meng Shiwan was infected by her liveliness and laughed, "No, no, no, you are still the cutest."
She withdrew her hand and quietly sensed the new superpower she had acquired, which surprised her greatly.
Special ability: Time.
It's a time-manipulation ability, which is quite impressive among special abilities.
No wonder this young girl dared to kill the zombie king.
Seeing the two of them praising each other, Wu Ming found it amusing and said, "Alright, alright, you're both pretty and cute, stop praising each other like this."
Ye Sangyu grabbed Meng Shiwan's arm and said, "Sister is indeed beautiful. I'm not exaggerating; I'm just stating a fact."
This girl was so lively and enthusiastic that even Meng Shiwan, who was usually aloof, felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Sangyu shook Meng Shiwan's arm and asked, "Sister, what kind of superpower do you have? Are you also here to kill the zombie king? Let me tell you, this zombie king is very strange, you have to be careful."
Looking into Ye Sangyu's big, round eyes, Meng Shiwan didn't want to pull her arm away, so she let her swing it.
She thought for a moment and replied, "My special ability is a bit hard to describe."
She didn't want to fool this naive and enthusiastic girl; it wouldn't be good if she were exposed later.
She didn't want to be too high-profile in front of so many superpowered individuals, lest they know she possessed superpowers and develop all sorts of ulterior motives.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Sangyu was very understanding. "It's okay if you can't tell me. I'll find out when we go fight the zombie king together."
Then, she lowered her voice and whispered to Meng Shiwan, "Sister, let me tell you, I have time-related abilities. I can briefly speed up or rewind time. I can protect you. Even if you get hurt, I can rewind time to before you got hurt. Aren't I amazing?"
Meng Shiwan found it somewhat amusing when she said that.
To say this girl is cute and innocent is an understatement; she's far too cute and innocent. How could she tell him everything the first time they met, and even say she wanted to protect him?
This made even the ruthless Meng Shiwan's gaze towards her change. It's hard to say whether to call her naive or simply stupid.
Meng Shiwan reminded her, "We've only met for the first time today, we've just gotten to know each other, and you're already going to protect me?"
Ye Sangyu chuckled and said, "You came with Wu Ming. Wu Ming is a good person, and you must be a good person too. I'm willing to protect good people."
Meng Shiwan raised an eyebrow, "Are you very familiar with Wu Ming?"
Isn't this girl from a private base? Wu Ming is busy like a spinning top every day, how could they be so familiar?
Seeing that they were getting more and more engrossed in their conversation, Wu Ming quickly urged them, "You two really hit it off right away. Let's stop chatting and get down to business."
Ye Sangyu ignored him, put her arm around Meng Shiwan's arm and laughed, "We're familiar with each other. We used to buy our ability enhancement fluid from him. I'll tell you a secret, I'm a level six ability user now, isn't that amazing?"
"Wait a minute." Meng Shiwan realized something was wrong. "I heard that the ability enhancement fluid at the seed base isn't for sale to outsiders. How did you manage to buy it from Wu Ming? How many crystal cores did you pay for it?"
I've never heard of the Seed Base selling the Ability Enhancement Fluid to a private base before.
Online, you often see many private seed farms clamoring for seed farms to sell them some, but the seed farms never respond. How come this girl got to drink it?
He's already at level six, and he's drunk quite a bit.
Seeing that the conversation was going off-topic, Wu Ming coughed twice and said, "Well, they're discussing forming a group, let's go listen to them."
Meng Shiwan stopped him, "Shut up."
There's definitely something fishy about this kid's reaction.
Ye Sangyu was quite proud of herself. "You definitely can't buy this in a regular private base, but our base is different. We have a little genius with time-related abilities like me. Wu Ming contacted my dad before and said he could sell us some ability-enhancing fluid at a very cheap price. One bottle of ability-enhancing fluid only costs a thousand crystal cores."
Meng Shiwan: !!!
"What! A thousand?!"
Her eyes widened in surprise.
Ye Sangyu smiled as if she had found a great bargain, "You also think it's a great deal, right? Wu Ming even said that this was specially to take care of me, this little genius, and that he secretly sold it to us at a lower price, and told us not to tell other private bases. I saw that you and Wu Ming were quite familiar with each other, and that you were all on the same side, so I told you."
As she was talking, she heard a soft grinding sound in her ear. Turning her head, she saw Meng Shiwan gritting her teeth, making a crunching sound.
Ye Sangyu hesitated, "Wasn't Wu Ming telling you? Did I talk too much? That shouldn't be the case. You dared to come and kill the zombie king, which means your ability level is not low. You should have also bought and drunk the ability enhancement liquid."
The more she talked, the more cold sweat poured down Wu Ming's forehead.
He glanced at Meng Shiwan, who was gritting her teeth, and tried to explain, "You know, she's a time-manipulation ability user, which is so rare. We can't let anything happen to such an ability user. The best way to prevent her from getting into trouble is to make her stronger so she can protect herself. That's why we sold her the ability-enhancing fluid. It's all for the sake of the bigger picture. You should be able to understand, right?"
Meng Shiwan chuckled, "Yes, I can totally understand, but don't you have to explain the matter of a thousand crystal cores to me?"
She sold each tube to her own team members for 200 crystal cores, and to the seed base for 300 crystal cores.
Meng Shiwan thought she was already quite a shrewd businessman, but she never expected there to be even more shrewd ones. The seed base sold the seed to a private base for a thousand crystal cores per seed.
A thousand crystal cores for one dose of power-enhancing liquid? How outrageous!
"That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous! I only sell one hundred crystal cores per tube, but he's selling one thousand! You can see for yourself who the profiteer is, right? Aren't I a conscientious person?"
The system was so angry it was howling in Meng Shiwan's mind, and it also regretted that it had sold it too cheaply, but it didn't dare to say it out loud.
Meng Shiwan was speechless. Not only did Wu Ming secretly sell a thousand crystal cores per bottle behind her back, but he also lied to them, saying that a thousand crystal cores was very cheap and that he was selling them to them secretly, and that they were not allowed to tell anyone.
Is the reason for not telling others that they're afraid other private bases will find out?
No!
He's afraid she'll find out.
Wu Ming awkwardly touched his nose, but inside he was panicking.
Stop being so dense, hurry up and come up with an excuse.
He looked at Meng Shiwan's forced smile and broke out in a cold sweat. "Well... you know, no matter how powerful the Seed Base is, it's impossible to obtain more than two million crystal cores in a short period of time. How many zombies would we have to kill? We'll just make some extra money on the side. Let's talk about this later. It's not appropriate to talk about it now. We have more important things to do."
He tried to end the conversation.
