Chapter 457: Chapter 203 Lan Yulian (Double Monthly Tickets at Month End)_2

Of course, Wang Tao was not such a shallow person.

When he observed Lan Yulian, he naturally saw her attributes as well.

[HP: 29999/29999]

[Mana: 4800/4800]

[Grade: Level 2]

[Hidden Property: Saving Lives]

[Saving Lives: Quite adept at treating and saving people]

[Internal Impurity: 22%]

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng both had 29999 HP, which wasn’t a surprise, since she was also a leader of a major power.

But this hidden property raised Wang Tao’s eyebrows.

Saving the dying and healing the injured? Skilled at saving people?

Could it be that she was a healer?

Speaking of healers, Wang Tao thought of Ding Yuqin, whose blood replenishing pack’s hidden ability was incredibly useful. It could relax and replenish blood.

It was just unclear what Lan Yulian’s situation was, and how she went about saving people?

“Mr. Wang, are you holding on well?”

Lan Yulian asked with a smile.

“Ahem.”

Wang Tao then released Lan Yulian’s soft and delicate hand.

It wasn’t that Wang Tao was taking advantage of her; it was just too soft and made it somewhat irresistible.

Lan Yulian gave Wang Tao a charming look before making a gesture of invitation.

“Mr. Wang, please have a seat, and this lady… please sit down as well.”

“Her name is Jiang Shixue, she’s a little socially anxious.”

Wang Tao briefly introduced her; the social anxiety was of course an excuse, but it was true that Jiang Shixue didn’t like to talk much to others.

“Jiang Shixue, what a nice name!”

Lu Yingfeng muttered from the side.

After Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue took their seats, Lan Yulian continued cooking, while Lu Yingfeng sat beside Wang Tao to keep him company.

“Why have you invited me alone? What’s the meaning of this?”

Wang Tao asked straightforwardly.

In Wang Tao’s memory, he shouldn’t have had any contact with this club. He didn’t understand why they would invite him specifically.

He was presenting himself as an ordinary Level 2 Ability User, what made him worthy of a personal invitation by one of the four great powers’ leaders?

Lu Yingfeng didn’t speak, and Lan Yulian, who was cutting vegetables, explained without turning her head:

“Because I want to invite Mr. Wang to join Vast.”

“What?”

Wang Tao was stunned.

Setting aside why they would invite him, an “ordinary” Ability User, Vast was known for not accepting men, so what did they mean by inviting him?

Seeing Wang Tao’s surprise, Lu Yingfeng started to explain:

“It’s not a long-term plan for Vast to recruit only females; the leader is prepared to reform.”

Whether in terms of physical fitness or mental resilience, women are generally weaker than men. This creates a significant disadvantage in post-apocalyptic survival. It might be manageable in the short term, but would definitely lead to various limitations over time.

Moreover, there’s another important point, it’s impossible to have children with only females! Children might be a burden in the post-apocalyptic world, but for a base to grow and prosper, it absolutely needs a population of newborns. For instance, Zijin Base had already begun providing subsidies for childbirth…

So, the reform of Vast was inevitable sooner or later.

“Then why have you invited me to join?”

Wang Tao asked again.

“Because… you are strong.”

Lan Yulian turned to look at Wang Tao and said.

Sss—

Wang Tao was somewhat shocked. He hadn’t made a move and they could already tell he was strong? Did they possess an Ability or hidden powers that allowed them to discern someone’s strength?

Lan Yulian beckoned Lu Yingfeng to come over and help her with the dishes.

There were just four home-style dishes, all served in stainless steel basins, and the portions were huge.

As for the presentation… well, they should be edible, right?

Seeing Wang Tao’s disdainful look, Lan Yulian became slightly embarrassed.

“Ahem, it’s been a long time since I cooked, a bit rusty.”

Lu Yingfeng silently criticized in her heart: It’s not that it’s been a long time since she cooked; she basically hasn’t ever cooked.

However, food wasn’t the focus for everyone present.

“I admit I’m strong, but how did you figure that out?”

Wang Tao asked, somewhat puzzled.

“…”

Lu Yingfeng was a bit speechless, not expecting Wang Tao to be so direct.

Lan Yulian, however, covered her mouth and chuckled. After laughing for a while, she straightened up and said:

“A friend introduced me. She told me that if I met a man named Wang Tao in Zijing City, I could establish a good relationship with him because this man is very strong.”

“Hm?” Wang Tao frowned, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said with some confusion, “Yang Changhong?”

Considering his recent experiences, the only person he knew who had come to Zijing City was Yang Changhong.

“That’s right, it was her.” Lan Yulian nodded. “Before the apocalypse, Yang Changhong and I were very good friends, but we lost touch after the apocalypse began. However, a few days ago, she suddenly came to Zijing City…”

“Where is she now?”

Wang Tao was curious.

He and Yang Changhong had arrived in Zijing City together, coming from the same direction, but he hadn’t heard any news about Yang Changhong…

“I originally invited Zhang Hong to join Vast, but she said she thought she saw her sister, so she didn’t stay in Zijing City and went straight to look for her sister instead.”

Lan Yulian said with some regret.

It’s certainly a good thing to encounter a good friend in the apocalypse, but unfortunately, this friend didn’t stay.

“Her sister? No wonder…”

Wang Tao suddenly understood.

Yang Changhong had mentioned before that her sister was missing, and the only reason she came to Zijing City was in the hope of possibly running into her. But the chance seemed so slim, even she herself didn’t think it was likely anymore.

However, now hearing Lan Yulian’s words, it seemed there might really be a chance? All he could hope was that she would find her sister.
