84: Chapter 84 The Bet

After hearing the conditions laid out by Ye Fan, Patriarch Wang Quan fell into deep thought once again.

Because the conditions offered by Ye Fan were simply too tempting, it gave a feeling of being fake, even if it were truly possible to help him advance to Tier 3.

Then how could the future realms be guaranteed?

"Are you sure? You aren't trying to trick me, are you?" Patriarch Wang Quan rubbed his hands together quickly in front of him, his gaze fixed on Ye Fan's face as he spoke with a serious expression.

Ye Fan smiled faintly. "I, Ye Fan, keep my word. Whatever I have promised you, I will do my best to achieve, no matter what."

"Oh? You are so certain you can help me break through?"

"That is correct!" Ye Fan nodded with a smile, speaking with a confident expression.

"If that is truly the case, I can agree to the conditions you have proposed, but I also have one condition."

"What condition? Family Head Wang, you might as well tell me directly."

Watching Ye Fan's composed and calm demeanor, Patriarch Wang Quan was silent for two seconds before speaking with a completely serious face.

"I need you to help me break through to Tier 3 first. Once it is done, I will give you one-third of the supplies. As for the rest, when you fulfill your promise, I will certainly hand them over to you truthfully. How about that?"

After hearing Patriarch Wang Quan's words, Ye Fan immediately fell into deep thought.

Right now, he did not have the ability to help him break through to Tier 3, because he did not have such zombie crystal cores in his possession at all.

All of this would only be possible after the system finished evolving.

Only then would he be able to use system points to exchange for the corresponding zombie crystal cores from the system store to supply Family Head Wang to break through above Tier 3.

The condition now proposed by Family Head Wang, Patriarch Wang Quan.

Was truly too thorny for Ye Fan, and perhaps even impossible to complete.

But if he didn't help, he wouldn't be able to obtain those supplies.

Without these supplies, how would he recruit survivors to join his faction?

Although the supplies currently stockpiled by the Wang Family were enough for them to use for half a year, if the number of recruited survivors increased later on...

It would be a bit troublesome.

Although those supplies were enough for them to last this month, what Ye Fan feared was, if this Family Head Wang went back on his word, what should be done?

Although Ye Fan would be able to use system points to exchange for food after the system upgrade was complete, that would only be a last resort.

Those system points were his path to becoming stronger and were simply too precious.

After thinking for a long time.

Ye Fan sighed softly, looked at Patriarch Wang Quan in front of him, and slowly said, "Although I can help you break through to Tier 3, and even help you every time you break through a realm in the future, it must wait until one month later."

"One month? That won't do, that is simply too long. I fear that by the time a month passes, I will have already broken through to Tier 3 myself."

Upon hearing Ye Fan's words, Patriarch Wang Quan quickly waved his hand, speaking in a firm tone.

Ye Fan looked at Patriarch Wang Quan in front of him with some helplessness, a slightly helpless smile on his face. "Since that is the case, then I will make a bet with you, Family Head Wang."

As soon as Patriarch Wang Quan heard this, he immediately became interested and quickly asked, "Oh? A bet? What kind of bet?"

"Let us bet on whether or not you can break through above Tier 3 within this one month."

"If you do not break through to Tier 3 within this month, besides the conditions we previously discussed, you must also agree to one additional condition."

Ye Fan stared at Patriarch Wang Quan, revealing a completely serious and earnest expression as he spoke slowly.

A strange look appeared in Patriarch Wang Quan's eyes as he met Ye Fan's gaze. His tone was very low. "What condition?"

Ye Fan smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth. "This condition is very simple. I need you, Family Head Wang, to bring all your Ability Users and join the organization I have created."

Patriarch Wang Quan pondered for a few seconds. He did not rush to nod and agree to the condition Ye Fan mentioned, but instead, a sharp force erupted in his gaze as he slowly spoke, "Then what if I do break through to Tier 3 within this month!"

"If you break through to Tier 3 within this month, I will not take a single bit of the supplies I mentioned. In the future, whenever you need to break through, I will help you unconditionally." Ye Fan said, his face full of seriousness as he looked at the sharp-eyed Patriarch Wang Quan, enunciating every word.

"I wonder what you think, Family Head Wang?" Ye Fan continued to ask.

Patriarch Wang Quan clasped his hands together, resting his chin on them. With a serious face, he quietly sized up the young man in front of him.

He did not say a word!

Ye Fan was the same, his gaze fixed tightly on Patriarch Wang Quan, not saying a word!

For a time.

The entire living room fell into a silence.

"Hahaha..." A burst of loud laughter instantly interrupted the silent atmosphere in the entire hall.

Patriarch Wang Quan slapped his thigh, stood up abruptly from the sofa, and laughed loudly, "Good! This bet, I, Wang Quan, accept it."

"Good, good, good! Family Head Wang is truly straightforward!" Ye Fan, who was sitting opposite Patriarch Wang Quan, also leaped up from the sofa at the same moment, a smile on his face, as he slowly extended his right hand toward Patriarch Wang Quan.

Seeing this, Patriarch Wang Quan also quickly raised his right hand and grasped Ye Fan's hand tightly.

Thus.

The two parties jointly established this bet.

Afterward, Ye Fan informed Patriarch Wang Quan about the zombie riot near Jiangcheng University, telling him to be careful and handle it.

Following that, he took Li Hao and Zhao Xiu, slowly left the place where the Wang Family was located, and headed in the direction of the Li Family.

...

Going and returning, it was already late.

Night had already arrived, and the three of them finally returned to the Li Family Mansion.

"Master, you have returned." As soon as they entered the hall, Li Chongan slowly rose from the sofa, looking at the three of them as he spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded slowly.

Li Hao and Zhao Xiu, upon seeing Li Chongan, also spoke slowly.

"Dad!"

"Family Head!"

Li Chongan moved his gaze away from Ye Fan, onto the two of them, and nodded quickly.

Signaling for the three of them to be seated.

After the three of them slowly sat on the sofa, Li Chongan sat down slowly, looked at Ye Fan, and asked slowly.

"Master, how did it go?"

Ye Fan simply told Li Chongan, who was on the side, about the bet he had made with Family Head Wang.

Li Chongan was slightly stunned after hearing this and couldn't help but say, "Ah! This... Master, are you not afraid that Patriarch Wang Quan will really break through to Tier 3 within this month? By then..."

Ye Fan quickly shook his head, his face calm as he slowly said, "It does not matter! I am confident that he cannot break through to Tier 3 within this month."

"If I have not guessed wrong, the Supernatural Ability that Patriarch Wang Quan obtained should be related to physical enhancement. To break through, he must also find the corresponding zombie crystal core."

Ye Fan explained, a look of full confidence on his face.

"And this type of zombie crystal core should be extremely rare. If one wants to find it within a short period of time, I am afraid it is much more difficult than winning the first prize in the lottery."
