NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 393 Sudden Blizzard
When it came to investments, Cheng Yiyi's eyes sparkled as she looked at Wang Tao.
Her expedition had suffered heavy losses, and the Sixth Army Corps had been greatly weakened, and they were not wealthy to begin with... It was truly a case of adding frost to snow.
She had thought that the days to come would be tough and they would have to tighten their belts. But unexpectedly, while they were away, Wang Tao had managed to attract so much investment for the Sixth Army Corps!
Of course, in name, everyone's investment in the Sixth Army Corps was for the exploration of the cave, not a donation to the Sixth Army Corps.
But this money had to be put to use to be effective, and naturally, that meant improving the combat power of the Sixth Army Corps.
So, it was entirely accurate to say these investments were aimed at increasing the combat power of the Sixth Army Corps.
Of course, when exploring the cave, the Sixth Army Corps would share the benefits with those investors. Cheng Yiyi would definitely be willing, after all, it was a win-win situation.
Before she left the city, she never imagined they could attract so much investment. After being trapped, she felt even more that, even if they eventually escaped ascending to heaven, their exploration of the cave would most likely be outpaced by others—they had been missing for so long, surely no one would be willing to invest in them anymore, and they were not wealthy themselves...
"I really owe you one! When we go exploring the cave together, you'll have priority in allocation!"
Cheng Yiyi expressed her thanks seriously.
"You're welcome,"
Wang Tao waved his hand, but he didn't refuse the priority in allocation.
"Um..."
Cheng Yiyi seemed to think of something and suddenly became a bit coy.
"What is it?"
Wang Tao asked, puzzled.
"Do you still have any of those Rejuvenation Potions? I also want to buy some..."
Cheng Yiyi spoke up somewhat bashfully.
From Wang Tao's actions, it seemed that the amount of that potion was rather limited. And since he had sold them to those who invested in the Sixth Army Corps, she wasn't sure if Wang Tao had any left...
"Hey, what's the big deal. I'll give you some for free, no need for money."
Wang Tao gestured with a wave of his hand.
The cost of making the Rejuvenation Potion was extremely low and they were not difficult to manufacture, so giving some to Cheng Yiyi was of course no issue at all.
"Ah? Giving them to me for free? That doesn't seem right... Even though we have a good relationship, business is business, right..."
Cheng Yiyi quickly waved her hand.
If Wang Tao was just giving her the potion personally, she could accept it. But she was planning to buy the potions on behalf of the Sixth Army Corps, and if he was giving it to her for free, that favor would be far too great...
"Don't be so polite, they're not worth much... But if you feel uncomfortable about it, I have some other potions here you could buy a little of?"
Wang Tao said with a smile.
"Hmm? Other potions?"
Cheng Yiyi was a bit puzzled. Did Wang Tao have other types of magical potions aside from Rejuvenation?
"Like these..."
Wang Tao took out potions such as Strength, Defense, and Running ones from his pocket, explaining in detail their effects to Cheng Yiyi.
He had plenty of potions and couldn't possibly use them all himself.
However, other than the Rejuvenation Potion, which could almost be produced in unlimited quantities, the production of other potions was limited by the availability of core materials.
So, Wang Tao didn't plan to sell these potions on a large scale as there would never be enough, but selling them on a small scale was doable, for example, to acquaintances like Cheng Yiyi.
Although the Sixth Army Corps was rather poor, they had attracted a lot of sponsorship in the past few days, so they weren't poor anymore.
Upon hearing Wang Tao's introduction, Cheng Yiyi's eyes lit up.
She had assumed that the Rejuvenation Potion was already miraculous enough, but she hadn't expected there to be other types of potions specifically designed to enhance combat without side effects!
"I want them!"
Cheng Yiyi said immediately.
She had to get her hands on these potions; with them, she could increase her team's combat power by at least thirty percent!
"You can take them back first to try out the effects..."
Wang Tao handed Cheng Yiyi some potions, and if she was satisfied, it wouldn't be too late to pay for them.
"Alright!"
Cheng Yiyi didn't refuse, as she was eager to see for herself just how miraculous the potions were, not that she didn't trust Wang Tao but because she wanted to witness it with her own eyes.
"I came here to see if you had been hurt, but I'm leaving with so many fantastic items from you..."
Cheng Yiyi scratched her head somewhat sheepishly, then her face brightened with excitement.
"But I can guarantee that by the time we go to the cave, we absolutely won't be the weakest link. At the very least, we should be mid-tier! The only pity is that I only have two Night Demon Hearts... and even those were acquired on this last trip out; otherwise, I'd have none at all..."
When it came to the Night Demon Hearts, Cheng Yiyi's expression showed a mix of envy and awkwardness.
Though she had never been to the cave, reliable information indicated that the cave was a very suitable place for Night Demons to show their strength. Moreover, since the number of people allowed to enter was limited, but the use of external forces like Night Demon Hearts was not restricted, those with more Night Demon Hearts would be more adept for the cave...
"Hmm? You went out this time for the Night Demon Hearts?"
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised. But it made sense since Night Demon Hearts were being sold for high prices and indeed were very useful, so taking some risks for them was considered worthwhile.
"Yes... I received reliable information that a Night Demon's Nest had been discovered in the wilderness, and it seemed to have a Level 4 Night Demon Lord. So I sent out a team, and the process of hunting the Night Demons went smoothly, but after wrecking the nest, we suddenly encountered a corpse tide, and the team got trapped... I immediately led a rescue, but because we didn't have the full picture, I got trapped as well. If it hadn't been for your arrival... for one Night Demon Heart, we almost paid with our entire lives..."
