Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 428 - 193: Sent to Prison_3
Chapter 428: Chapter 193: Sent to Prison_3
The Skull Club still had quite a few ordinary people who were all thinking that this might be their chance to become Ability Users. And those who were Level 1 Ability Users were wondering if they might advance to become Second-order Superpower Owners!
Some were confused as to why Boss Huang had not made an appearance, but they didn’t think too much of it—after all, everyone knew Boss Huang was more fond of his new wife, Liao Xia, and for all they knew, he might be locked in a fierce battle with her between the sheets right now.
Nie Siyan ascended the stairs with the collected information in hand.
Upstairs, Wang Tao was eating breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of smoked fish and a big flatbread soaked in a nutrient solution.
The dried fish were leftovers; Wang Tao and the other two had Magical Stomach Pouches, which stored a large amount of fish meat.
The big flatbread was given by Yang Changhong when they parted ways with his fleet. They had plenty of rice and flour on hand, and for convenience, had turned it all into this kind of easy-to-carry dry food.
Seeing these foods, Nie Siyan immediately swallowed hard.
She hadn’t eaten for two or three days since being captured by Wang Tao. But she dared not show any dissatisfaction, and promptly presented the information with respect.
Wang Tao took the information.
“Tsk tsk, you people, really deserve to die.”
Shaking his head as he looked at the information, Wang Tao sighed.
Previously he had thought, since the Skull Club still had so many ordinary members, these ordinary people would not be largely involved in kidnapping. After all, ordinary people have lower survival abilities outside.
But unexpectedly, although most ordinary people weren’t directly involved in tricking or kidnapping, many had indirectly participated. Some provided information, some made traps, some volunteered to be bait, and so on.
Well then… some people would have to be sent to prison.
Perhaps some people deliberately inflated their achievements, but Wang Tao wasn’t going to bother investigating. He had already told Nie Siyan before that falsifying achievements would have consequences.
After spending some time, Wang Tao divided the information into two piles. One was thick, the other thin.
Wang Tao handed the thick pile to Nie Siyan, who quickly caught it with both hands.
“Just these people. As for how it’s done, I leave it to you.”
“Ah? Leave it to me?”
Nie Siyan couldn’t believe it.
The list Wang Tao picked out had at least two hundred people on it. That could fetch a lot of Crystal Cores!
And more importantly, if she was in charge of this, she could escape!
After all, they had always been a delivery service…
Seeing Nie Siyan’s shock and the flicker in her eyes after the initial surprise, Wang Tao’s expression remained unchanged.
“I just want my Crystal Cores. I don’t care about the process, you figure it out yourself. Go.”
“Yes!”
Nie Siyan quickly bowed and exited excitedly.
Once downstairs, Nie Siyan immediately notified everyone, saying that Boss Huang had reviewed the list and wanted those with good performance to gather in the first-floor hall. Those with poor performance should stay in the parking lot and not wander around.
Suddenly, those with poor performance felt like they had been abandoned, overcome with a sense of loss.
Whereas those with good performance were smug, especially those who had inflated their achievements, who were almost strutting with pride. ‘I knew it! The Skull Club has never tracked these things. How much we achieve is known only to ourselves; others at best have a rough idea. A little exaggeration in our reporting won’t cause any trouble!’
“We’re actually just trying to serve the boss better!”
“Exactly, exactly!”
“…”
Soon, Nie Siyan arrived, followed by a few Ability Users.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
Nie Siyan started to feed them motivational talk, while the Ability Users behind her stealthily used their powers.
Soon, everyone began to feel dizzy.
“What’s happening…”
Thud, thud, thud—
One by one, the group began to hit the floor.
After everyone had fainted, the bald man approached Sister Nie Siyan and asked respectfully,
“Sister Nie, the boss is…?”
They had no idea what was going on and were simply following Sister Nie Siyan’s orders.
“The boss is running low on Crystal Cores and wants to exchange for some,”
Nie Siyan glanced at the bald man.
“Exchange for Crystal Cores? Hiss—”
The bald man took a sharp intake of breath.
Nie Siyan ordered the bald man and the others to search everyone, then had them drive the pickup truck from the parking lot.
In the past, when they sold goods, they always used a pickup truck for deliveries, but this time there were too many people, and it would require several trips.
After loading the first batch of ‘goods’ onto the truck, Nie Siyan went up to the third floor.
“Brother, everything is ready, look…”
“Go on then,” I waved my hand.
“Yes!”
Just as Nie Siyan was excitedly preparing to leave, Wang Tao suddenly added,
“Remember, not a single one of my Crystal Cores can be missing.”
Nie Siyan immediately felt a chill in her heart.
“Yes!”
Shortly after, Nie Siyan left the arcade with the first batch of ‘goods’.
Several of Nie Siyan’s subordinates had a Level 1 Special Ability that generated fainting smoke, which was colorless and odorless, and very difficult to notice if one wasn’t paying close attention.
Inhaling the smoke would put one to sleep. The more one inhaled, the stronger the effect, and even a Second-order Superpower Owner couldn’t withstand it after inhaling too much.
Nie Siyan had been using these abilities to trick people.
“Brother Wang, what if she sneaks off?”
Xu Xiaojun scratched his head and asked.
“That depends on whether she has the guts…”
Wang Tao had already stated that none of his Crystal Cores could be missing.
It didn’t really matter whether Nie Siyan ran away or not, but the trade had to be completed, and the Crystal Cores delivered to him.
If she didn’t recognize the situation… then she was truly seeking death. Even if she could hide temporarily, Wang Tao still had ways to find her.
The quantity of this trade with Nie Siyan was over two hundred, a major transaction that the small pickups couldn’t handle.
She carefully arrived at the jail, where the jail’s authorities, after hearing about the large number of people, didn’t hesitate to send their own transportation for them.
“Your Boss Huang is awesome, huh! So generous!”
The person in charge of the handover at the jail was a skinny young man, who seemed puzzled.
“I don’t know what he’s thinking…”
Nie Siyan pretended to be somewhat helpless.
The other party didn’t ask further, as they weren’t interested in the process, just the result.
The jail authorities were very straightforward. Upon seeing the ‘goods’, they immediately paid with Crystal Cores, and after Nie Siyan verified that the number was correct, she went upstairs to hand them over to Wang Tao. The jail could settle with Crystal Cores or with Inhibitors, but Wang Tao wanted Crystal Cores.
After that, Nie Siyan helped with two more deliveries, and only then was she able to transport everyone into the jail. The transaction was indeed huge.
At the jail entrance, evening.
Having delivered the ‘goods’, Nie Siyan’s face was torn with struggle.
She hadn’t coveted a single Crystal Core and had completed the task given by Wang Tao very well. The bald man and the others had been sent away, and now she was alone—she could run away!
But then, she hesitated…
