It is precisely because love is not easy that people are so eager to pursue it...
At this moment, the girl's longing and jealousy evolved into a purer desire.
Chapter 303: As expected of a rich woman!
It seems that everything is subject to an unseen spell of failure the first time, just like this confession.
Watching the receding figure in the distance, Saotome subconsciously raised her hand to touch the hair that had just been touched. For some reason, she didn't feel much sadness.
When the other person said "sorry" just now, for a moment her heart felt like it was being clenched, and she even had some difficulty breathing.
Like most girls who have just fallen in love, she is always exceptionally vulnerable and sensitive, and will habitually look for all sorts of excuses to offset her throbbing pain.
But what truly healed her wasn't any of that, but rather the other person's serious attitude towards the relationship.
At this moment, Saotome somewhat understood why Cheng Yuqiu had always been so clear and dazzling.
Anyone who is treated with such care and tenderness would feel incredibly happy.
Should you carefully choose who you confess your feelings to...?
But apart from you, there's probably no one else here who would be so devoted to feelings.
After seeing people like you, do you expect me to even consider other guys...?
There was clearly no other choice left...
Instead of resorting to any means to acquire everything around you like others, indulging in the mundane and desireful aspects of life,
It's better to hold onto hope and dreams... Even if you don't get any results in the end, you can still say with pride that you've embarked on the path of pursuing that glimmer of beauty!
So, you're a hundred years too early for me to give up!
On the other side, Nie Qingyun had reached the end of the corridor, but he felt a vague sense of guilt that he couldn't quite put into words.
Perhaps it was due to the unexpected event last night, or perhaps it was because he hadn't been confessed to so solemnly in a long time.
However, it is never a good thing to bluntly reject someone's kindness.
So he subconsciously turned around, hesitating whether he should say a few more words of comfort.
When I looked up, I saw a pair of exceptionally bright eyes staring intently at me.
That "full of energy" expression didn't look like it needed comforting at all.
So he swallowed back what he was going to say, and just smiled slightly and reminded her:
"Don't forget to take Senior Lingyuan to the young lady's place."
"In addition, those who have already signed up to join the 'task force' can be taken directly to the preparation room later."
"Um... I'll go now..."
After saying that, he stepped onto the stairs leading to the upper floor.
Although it's unclear why Saotome acted somewhat "abnormally," it's a good thing she wasn't too sad or upset.
After passing through the grassroots isolation netting, Nie Qingyun finally arrived at the gashapon machine inside the building.
This gashapon machine looked no different from any of the ones he had seen before.
However, as they made physical contact, Nie Qingyun discovered that all the green-level gashapon capsules inside had been drawn, leaving only one purple one unclaimed.
He wasn't too surprised by the result.
After all, Qin Hehuan practically monopolized all the resources in the vicinity, so of course she wouldn't leave the good stuff to others. As for the remaining purple one, it was probably too difficult to obtain, so it was treated as if it didn't exist at all.
After all, no one else has the ability to see through the quality of the gashapon.
But this makes things a little awkward.
Besides Bai Ye Lin Yin and Yu Wen Zhao Lu, the assault team will definitely have many new members joining, and their strengths will become more varied.
However, to fight against an entity of the [Ominous Sign] level, the minimum requirements are that you must have used [Completion Blessing] and [Immunity Injection], otherwise you don't even qualify to be cannon fodder.
Nie Qingyun originally intended to see if there were any good items in the gashapon machine, and if so, to try his luck.
Even if you don't get the purple gacha in the end, the items from the blue and green gacha can be sold as byproducts to those who need them, so you won't actually lose much [Primal Crystals].
But now all the blue and green gashapon capsules have been taken, so trying to get the purple ones would be a huge waste...
After forcing himself to fire about ten shots, Nie Qingyun looked at the pile of white junk that had appeared in the [Data Space] and completely gave up on the idea of losing money.
The area around the main building is now completely surrounded by zombie-infested fortifications, making it impractical to go out and find other gashapon machines. To resolve the current predicament, the only option left is to find a way to fleece the capitalists...
Back in Qin Hehuan's office, Nie Qingyun didn't beat around the bush and stated his thoughts directly, while also preparing to negotiate.
Because he was very clear that these things were important resources that Qin Hehuan used to maintain his rule.
Surprisingly, this female CEO, who was always known for prioritizing profit, was unusually generous this time.
Upon hearing that the other party wanted to make up for the gap in combat effectiveness among the assault team members, Qin Hehuan immediately crossed her arms and asked about the number:
"How much do you need?"
Now it was Nie Qingyun who felt a little embarrassed, and after hesitating for a long time, he tried to ask in return:
"how much do you have?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of light appeared, and the desk in front of Qin Hehuan was suddenly piled up with all sorts of things.
From weapons and equipment to skill scrolls and immune injections, everything is available. In terms of quantity, these items have long exceeded the output of a single gashapon machine.
What kind of rich woman is this...? This is way too extravagant...
It took Nie Qingyun a while to close his mouth, and he tried his best to appear calm as he said:
Regarding the price...
"Just take it and use it." Qin Hehuan's tone was very calm, as if the things on the table were not important.
But Nie Qingyun was well aware of the value of these items, and asked in disbelief:
"you sure?"
"Otherwise what?" Qin Hehuan leaned back and glanced at the things on the table:
Even if I give you a price, you're not planning to pay, are you?
Let's skip the formalities.
"I really can't refute what you're saying..." Nie Qingyun was speechless for a moment, but felt a little touched.
To be honest, if used properly, these things are enough to turn people against their cause...
This kind of courage must be built on trust.
Undeniably, establishing a cooperative relationship with Qin Hehuan was a very wise decision.
Nie Qingyun simply stopped talking and began to collect the items on the table one by one.
No guarantees were made during this period, because they did not need such superficial politeness between them.
There was a tacit understanding between them that "everything is understood without words".
After a while, Nie Qingyun suddenly stopped packing his things and looked up again, puzzled.
"you sure……"
"This Rank A skill book is for me too?"
Chapter 304: The Eve of a Sleepless Night
"This Rank A skill book is for me too?"
"If you don't need it, you can return it to me."
Qin Hehuan's nonchalant tone made Nie Qingyun subconsciously think that he had misread it, so he quickly refocused his attention on the skill book in his hand. However, the system's prompt this time was exactly the same as before.
【Breath of Winter (Skill Book)】
Type: Consumables
Quality: A
Effect: Can be learned if mental strength is greater than 50. After learning, you will gain [Breath of Winter].
Breath of Winter
Type: Spell
Quality: A
Effect: Summons a large number of ice spikes to attack the target area, and allows basic control over the ice.
A skill book of quality A is only obtainable from purple gacha pulls.
As his gaze swept over the various props piled on the table once more, Nie Qingyun suddenly felt a sense of reluctance to put in any more effort.
"By the way... do you have a lot of these skill books?"
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Hehuan glanced at Nie Qingyun, then lowered her gaze and continued:
"Do you think every gashapon machine has purple gashapon capsules?"
"Even if every machine has one, you still need to be lucky. Right now, there's only one in the entire Freemasonry."
Nie Qingyun subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't you keep something this precious for yourself..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hehuan showed a hint of doubt and tilted her head slightly, saying:
"I can't use it..."
"Can't use it?" Nie Qingyun looked slightly surprised, then seemed to remember something.
I was so focused on the skill book's level that I subconsciously ignored the description below.
This thing... has attribute requirements for learning, and they are quite demanding.
A mental strength of 50 is something that no one can possibly achieve at this stage.
From this perspective, it really is quite useless.
However, for Nie Qingyun, all these requirements and restrictions were meaningless.
Because he can't learn skills... all the skills he learns will be converted into higher-level "spell scrolls".
Moreover, this conversion is not limited by the requirements of the skill book itself.
Looking back now, the passive ability that comes with [Noise of Causality] really does fit the system's evaluation of EX.
Although he could never learn a permanent skill, he could still conjure up S-level spells with his mere 30-something spirit attribute.
What kind of gold content is this...?
Speaking of which... if an A-grade skill book were converted into a scroll, it should at least be S-grade or higher, right?
A little excited, and feeling indebted for receiving such a valuable gift, Nie Qingyun looked up at the girl in the chair and said:
"Then I'll accept it without any courtesy."
"If I acquire skills that are suitable for you in the future, I will give them back to you as an exchange."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Qin Hehuan, who was pouring tea for him, suddenly stopped and then looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Nie Qingyun carefully recalled what he had just said, but did not think he had said anything wrong, so he couldn't help but ask.
"What...did I say something wrong?"
Qin Hehuan frowned slightly, realizing that the other person's expression didn't seem feigned, before putting down her cup and speaking:
"You don't even know something like this?"
"What is it?" Nie Qingyun was increasingly confused by the question, as if the other person was acting as if he had overlooked some common sense. So, his tone unconsciously became a little more urgent:
"Just tell me, how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"
Seeing this, Qin Hehuan's gaze suddenly became meaningful. After a few seconds, she curled up the corners of her mouth and revealed a rare smile, although it looked somewhat malicious.
"Is this how you usually ask for favors?"
"At least when asking others for advice, you should appear more sincere, right?"
"Am I saying you're a child...?" Nie Qingyun was instantly speechless, increasingly unable to understand women.
They could give away such valuable scrolls without batting an eye, yet they insist on being petty about such trivial matters.
