Chapter 119: Purified Crystal Cores
At another car, Chu Wan’er narrowed her eyes with a thoughtful expression.
Seeing this, Leng Han, Yang Qian, and Ouyang Jun exchanged a glance but soon shook their heads.
"Wan’er, you have been preoccupied for several days now. Is something wrong?" Yang Qian asked with a worried expression.
"Mmh." Chu Wan’er nodded and began talking.
"Don’t you think Chenxuan and team Legends are strange?"
"Strange? How so?" Leng Han asked.
"Chenxuan and Qin Wu are level three superpowers, while the rest of the team are level two. Isn’t their practice speed a bit too fast?"
This question had bugged her since she learned Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were level three superpowers.
After all, she had a planting place and a spiritual spring but her superpower was only at the peak of level two.
Considering that, she couldn’t help but wonder how Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu managed to become level three superpowers so early in the apocalypse.
"Maybe they encountered an opportunity." Yang Qian speculated.
"What kind of opportunity could allow an entire team to advance by leaps and bounds?" Ouyang Jun asked and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
"Wan’er..., could it be..." Leng Han started but didn’t finish.
Still, Chu Wan’er understood and nodded.
"Maybe. It’s possible they also have a space."
"It’s also possible that their superpowers have advanced because they use purified crystal cores."
Hearing this, Chu Wan’er narrowed her eyes and turned to Leng Han.
"Han, has your investigation yielded anything?" She asked but Leng Han shook his head.
"All I know is that team Legends has a superpower with a mutated water ability. It’s this ability that can purify crystal cores."
"Unfortunately, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu have gone to great lengths to hide the person. Excluding the two, no one knows the identity of that person."
Chu Wan’er sighed when she heard this.
However, she soon smiled and subconsciously nodded.
"Let’s negotiate a deal with team Legends. We can buy purified crystal cores from them for the time being."
Although she had a spiritual spring, the water could only replenish energy and cleanse the body but could not purify crystal cores.
As a result, Chu Wan’er and her group still had to rely on ordinary crystal cores for their practice.
After deciding, Chu Wan’er and the others didn’t waste time.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the convoy’s rear and stopped beside an Inkas Sentry Civilian.
"Chenxuan, Qin Wu, do you have a minute to talk?" Chu Wan’er asked, looking inside the car.
Hearing this, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu exchanged a glance but soon exited their car.
After moving away from the crowd, the group stopped and waited for Chu Wan’er to begin.
"We want to buy purified crystal cores." She said without beating around the bush.
"How many?" Mo Chenxuan asked.
Since the beginning, he and Qin Wu had not hidden their involvement with purified crystal cores.
After all, selling purified crystal cores was a major source of income for their group.
"Let’s start with fifteen thousand; three thousand fire cores, three thousand water cores, three thousand gold cores, two thousand earth cores, two thousand wood cores, and two thousand other cores."
Qin Wu nodded when she heard this and quickly spoke.
"We will give you a friendly price of four for one. What do you think?" She asked.
"We will take it." Chu Wan’er immediately agreed.
After all, the going rate for purified crystal cores was five for one.
Hearing they would get a discount of one crystal core, Chu Wan’er was naturally excited.
Soon after, Chu Wan’er handed over the fifteen thousand crystal cores and agreed on a time to get the purified ones.
After the visitors left, Qin Wu burst into laughter.
"What’s the matter?" Mo Chenxuan asked.
"Chenxuan, we will earn sixty thousand crystal cores after concluding this deal." Qin Wu said with an excited expression.
On one hand, crystal cores were essential for their practice and on the other, she and Mo Chenxuan were accumulating money to buy land.
"Wu’er, let’s take this opportunity to sell more purified crystal cores." Mo Chenxuan suggested but Qin Wu frowned.
"Will it be okay? Won’t the army shut us down?"
"Why would they shut us down?" Mo Chenxuan said and began explaining.
"Purified crystal cores are easier to absorb and can replenish energy much faster than non-purified ones. Most importantly, ability users can absorb purified crystal cores without limit. If all goes well, practising with purified crystal cores will improve the overall strength of the convoy."
"What you said is true but it’s also true that farmers are guilty of owning jade. Being too conspicuous will attract greed. What should we do if someone covets our so-called water ability user?"
"What else can we do?" Mo Chenxuan sneered and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Wu nodded.
"I understand." She said.
Paper can never cover fire.
From the beginning, their purified crystal cores were destined to be a source of trouble.
The only reason they had gotten away with it for so long was because everyone was preoccupied with other things.
However, when they returned to the base after this mission, Mo Chenxuan expected trouble from the base leadership and powerful superpower teams.
That said, he wasn’t worried.
After all, his team was not made of paper tigers.
If anyone dared to cause trouble, Mo Chenxuan dared to resist with equal or more force.
Thinking of this, he frowned with a thoughtful expression.
At the moment, Xu Fei was a peak level two ability user; Lu Hao, Lu Yanyan, and Xiao Junxie were late level two, while Lin Rongrong was a mid, level two.
As for the affiliated teams, most were level one but the leaders were mid or early level two.
’We should prepare the team.’ Mo Chenxuan thought.
"Chenxuan, look, team Overlord is also coming over." Qin Wu observed in an excited voice.
Soon after, team Overlord and team Legends concluded a deal.
Like team Dawn, Xuanyuan Yi left behind thirty thousand crystal cores and arranged to collect them two days later.
After the deal, team Overlord left and team Legends sat together to have supper.
However, when they were halfway through their meal, a loud alarm echoed in the surroundings and everyone hurriedly stood up.
At the same time, Qin Wu waved her hand and collected the food, drinks, and furniture.
"Let’s get ready." Mo Chenxuan said in a solemn voice.
