Chapter 494: Chapter 215 Misunderstanding_3
“Cough, I’m not being pretentious, I just feel that everything has a process, even if it’s a special situation, or a brief one… So, please, can we have a process where we get to know each other? We could try to understand each other first. I know you’re excellent, but I’m not someone who can be taken lightly. After all, I’ve never been in a relationship… Of course, no matter what the outcome, I will repay what I owe you. I won’t take your things for nothing, that’s my promise!”
Hearing Lan Yulian’s words, Wang Tao was initially stupefied, then he realized that Lan Yulian seemed to have misunderstood something.
Misunderstood that he was pursuing her? And… she didn’t dislike it?
But it made sense, given Wang Tao’s current strength, if he wanted women, they’d probably be lining up for him, like Nie Siyan was very proactive. Lan Yulian’s restraint was quite modest in comparison.
And Wang Tao had helped her a lot, even saved her life, and he himself was not bad-looking… To say she had no feelings for Wang Tao was impossible… But to say she had fallen for him, probably not yet.
Now, with Wang Tao being so generous to her, in her eyes, this was a signal from him. So she decided to clarify things, if Wang Tao really had such intentions, they could start by getting to know each other a bit…
Wang Tao suddenly laughed.
“Actually, I prefer the type like Lu Yingfeng.”
“…”
Lan Yulian was startled for a second, her face instantly colored with embarrassment. But there was also a sense of relief, and a trace of disappointment.
She tucked a lock of hair behind her ear to ease the awkwardness and then apologized.
“I’m sorry, I misunderstood!”
After her apology, she quickly sang Lu Yingfeng’s praises.
“If you like Little Feng, that’s easy to say! I can help set you two up! She’s never been in a relationship and is very innocent…”
As soon as she finished, Wang Tao burst out laughing.
“Alright, actually I was joking. I agreed to extend credit to you because I want more Crystal Cores. Although you don’t have them now, as long as you can take down the General and even the entire Zijin Base, there will be plenty of Crystal Cores, and then you can repay me.”
“Ah?”
Looking at Wang Tao, who didn’t seem to be joking, Lan Yulian grew even more embarrassed.
She suddenly felt like she might be a little love-struck, interpreting Wang Tao’s intentions all wrong…
However, she quickly recovered, and with a serious expression, she assured:
“Rest assured, I will repay all debts without any intentional delay!”
“I trust your character,” Wang Tao nodded.
“Then let’s go outside.”
Lan Yulian wanted to leave quickly. The more she stayed with Wang Tao, the more endless the embarrassment felt.
Although in this apocalyptic era, survivors tended to have thick skins, by misfortune, she was one of the few with a relatively thin skin. Especially in matters of men and women, having had no experience, she found it difficult to be open.
Nie Siyan, who had already been someone’s wife, was very open, not giving a thought to face when in front of Wang Tao…
“Hmm.”
Wang Tao followed behind her, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly said:
“The thing just now was a joke.”
“…I know.”
Lan Yulian did not expect Wang Tao to repeat it; she felt completely uncomfortable.
However, Wang Tao suddenly leaned in and whispered in her ear:
“What I mean is, I don’t just like Lu Yingfeng’s type but… I quite like both of you!”
“…”
Lan Yulian turned her head, looking somewhat surprised and at a loss.
In this post-apocalyptic world, it was common for strong men to have multiple women, and women to have multiple men.
But such things happening to herself felt somewhat unacceptable, as she wasn’t weak and didn’t need to cling to others to survive.
If someone else had said this, she would have been disgusted. But if that person was Wang Tao… she suddenly felt her heart in disarray.
Watching Lan Yulian, who seemed at a loss, Wang Tao patted her shoulder with a smile and then took the lead to walk out.
He indeed had a good impression of both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng, but it was purely admiration without any romantic feelings.
But since Lan Yulian didn’t take offense at the misunderstanding, there was no need for Wang Tao to pretend to be reserved. Everyone appreciates beauty, and who would refuse a beauty that comes knocking? Especially since he thought both women had good strength and character. Especially Lan Yulian, she was a rare healer…
After Wang Tao and Lan Yulian came out, the few people outside were curious about what they had discussed.
At this time, Lan Yulian’s complexion was normal, showing nothing. It had to be said, women are natural actors.
Wang Tao said to both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng:
“Whatever Crystal Cores you need, just say it, you can put it on credit.”
Lu Yingfeng looked towards Lan Yulian, and Lan Yulian nodded.
So, the two women got a lot of Red and Orange Crystal Cores from Wang Tao.
Lan Yulian felt a bit of a pinch, regardless of what relationship she would end up with Wang Tao, since she said she would clear her debts, she meant to do just that. And now she had taken on so much credit, she estimated that even if she could take down the General and his group, Wang Tao would probably reap the most benefits…
“By the way, I have another nice item, do you want it?”
Wang Tao took out another Red Crystal Core.
“This Crystal Core, called ‘Healing Light’…”
[Level 2 Crystal Core · Healing Light]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 45% (Side effects: First fusion decreases HP by 5000, subsequent fusions decrease HP by 1000)]
[Healing Light: Consumes energy to form a healing energy field, restoring HP every second within its range]
After Wang Tao introduced the Crystal Core, Lan Yulian’s eyes immediately lit up. She felt this Crystal Core was perfect for her!
“I want it!”
Her Ability was single-target healing, but this Ability was for group healing, perfectly compensating for her deficiency.
Moreover, her combat strength was not high, and she didn’t like fighting. She enjoyed healing, and this Ability seemed tailor-made for her!
