Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot

She also knew that this might be a routine of the Zijin Base, but for the sake of a Level 2 Crystal Core, she was willing to take the gamble. After all, Wang Tao had given her so many Level 2 Crystal Cores, and she had been thinking of finding an opportunity to pay him back…

“Okay.”

Wang Tao didn’t say much either.

Nie Siyan looked over the 8 villas and chose the number 8 building, which she deemed to be particularly auspicious.

She stretched out her hand to call over a staff member.

Upon seeing Nie Siyan’s choice, the staff member’s face immediately broke into a brilliant smile.

“Chairman Nie, are you sure you want to choose Villa number 8 as your challenge? Villa number 8 is currently occupied by people from the Thunder Guild…”

“…”

Hearing the words “Thunder Guild,” Nie Siyan’s expression changed.

Wang Tao’s brow rose. Before coming here, he had naturally understood the situation of the major forces in Zijing City from Nie Siyan.

The Thunder Guild was one of the top among these dozen or so mid-level forces. Many people felt that the Thunder Guild was one of the forces most likely to be promoted to a large-scale force. The only things they lacked were population and a base—that meant their high-end combat power was very strong!

Nie Siyan also didn’t expect that her casual choice would turn out to be a tough nut to crack.

Looking at the staff member’s smile, Nie Siyan couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being mocked.

She subconsciously looked at Wang Tao and seeing no change in his expression, she steeled her heart.

“Confirmed, this one!”

Canceling now would mean losing face for Wang Tao.

You can’t lose face even if you lose the game; after all, there are three chances, and she can keep going later if needed. Besides, she was feeling very confident about her strength, believing that she was no less capable than anyone else!

“Alright Chairman Nie, the Thunder Guild has not been challenged before, so you may choose them…”

The staff member had Nie Siyan sign her own name and her force’s name, then had Wang Tao and his group follow him.

The challenge wasn’t convoluted with many rules; it was simply a 1v1, with the loser stepping down. As long as one is ready to challenge and the other is ready to be challenged, they can proceed straightaway.

The news of Nie Siyan choosing the Thunder Guild as her challenge wasn’t known to many, but by the time several individuals arrived at Villa number 8, a large crowd had already gathered.

Clearly, the people at the Zijin Base were secretly passing the message around, as if they couldn’t wait for chaos to ensue.

Nie Siyan was a bit nervous at first, but seeing so many spectators, she felt less so.

It’s just the Thunder Guild, let’s take them down!

At that moment, the villa’s main gate opened, and a group of people emerged. They were from the Thunder Guild.

The Firefly Club and the Thunder Guild were both considered mid-sized forces, but the spirit of the two groups was entirely different.

The Thunder Guild’s members all wore matching uniforms, carried the same machetes, and had the same lightning tattoos on their faces… they looked extraordinary. 𝔯ἈΝ𝐨ᛒЁⱾ

On the other hand, the Firefly Club looked more like a collection of traditional survivors, each dressed differently, with no particular aura, creating a bit of a chaotic scene.

However, the biggest attraction was on the side of the Firefly Club; a pair of beautiful women and two strong men naturally drew a lot of attention.

“What is the Firefly Club? How come I’ve never heard of them before?”

Among the Thunder Guild group, someone spoke up loudly.

The sarcasm in their voice was very apparent.

“They are just a predecessor of the Skull Club! Just a second-rate force that struggles to survive in Zijing City through deceiving and swindling.”

Another member of the Thunder Guild chimed in.

“Ah? So they’re the former Skull Club! How could such a lousy force dare to participate in the ‘Promotion Operation’? They are really overestimating themselves!”

Another person feigned sudden enlightenment.

“…”

Ten people from the Thunder Guild had come out, and all ten were loudly mocking the Firefly Club.

They were angry because they had thought nobody would be foolish enough to challenge them. But to their surprise, someone had indeed come to challenge them without even letting them settle in, and it was the weak Firefly Club to boot.

By choosing them, wasn’t the Firefly Club implying that they saw the Thunder Guild as the weaker one? In some way, this was a form of mockery, and everyone from the Thunder Guild was furious.

So, they planned to teach the Firefly Club a harsh lesson. But before doing so, they wanted to vent their frustration with some harsh words.

Wang Tao and his companions were indifferent to these comments; they weren’t members of the Firefly Club, after all. But Nie Siyan’s expression was grim. She was resolved to teach these people a lesson later!

Then, from among the Thunder Guild, a short and stout figure stepped forward.

He pointed arrogantly at Wang Tao and the others.

“I am Ma Wen, an Ordinary Hall Master of the Thunder Guild, who’s up? Make it quick, I’m in a hurry.”

His attitude almost screamed, “I am invincible, choose at your leisure.”

More and more onlookers gathered around, curious about the situation and wondering who would win. Most of them thought the Thunder Guild had higher chances.

Those familiar with the Thunder Guild looked on with contempt.

“The Thunder Guild is shameless, sending Ma Wen to fight the first battle. He’s not just an Ordinary Hall Master but one with super strong combat power!”

“So vicious, if the Firefly Club actually falls for it, they might just meet their downfall…”

“…”

Nie Siyan prepared to take to the field herself.

She didn’t know this Ma Wen, but she thought she should be fine. They were both Second-order Ability Users, so what was there to be afraid of!
