Ning Xuan never expected that going on a vacation and hiking to relax would lead to disaster. A mischievous kid disturbed a hornet's nest and sprinted away, but she, with a body aged beyond her...
Chapter 221 What a coincidence today!
The members of Base 37, including Feng Yuan, really didn't expect that the other base leaders trusted Han Dongling so much. They didn't even doubt Han Dongling when it came to something as important as supplies.
Actually, this is because Base 37 has never had a normal transaction with Han Dongling, so they don't know what Han Dongling means to the various bases. She is equivalent to the god of wealth of the various bases.
Han Dongling traded other precious resources for the crystal cores that the base consumed very slowly.
Despite the fact that no one dared to eat the mutated wild vegetables that covered the mountains and fields, Han Dongling still traded precious supplies for them.
If you encounter danger in the wild, you don't even need to meet Han Dongling directly. If you encounter members of the Xinghuo Base, and they can't save you on their own, they will send a signal. If Han Dongling is at the base or nearby, she will definitely come to help.
If Han Dongling happens to be away, then it's fine. Members of the Spark Base can receive three life-saving items every month, which are lightning-accumulating talismans made by Han Dongling herself.
Han Dongling's cultivation level has increased rapidly. She is now at the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is preparing to enter the late-Foundation Establishment stage. She thinks the talismans Ning Xuan gave her are very effective. Since Ning Xuan is learning alchemy, Han Dongling wants to learn talismans herself.
Fortunately, Han Dongling really had the talent and quickly learned the basic talismans. Then she learned the lightning-accumulating talisman.
Although Han Dongling drew a mid-level lightning storage talisman, this type of talisman that can store spiritual power is quite special. People without spiritual power can also use it, making it especially suitable for members of the Starfire Base to use as a life-saving tool.
Because Han Dongling drew them herself, the cost was relatively low. She was also very efficient at drawing talismans, so in addition to receiving their monthly welfare allowance, members of the Spark Base would also use their points to exchange for a few talismans to keep safe.
If a member of the Starfire Base uses a lightning-accumulating talisman to save members of other bases, it promotes friendly relations between the Starfire Base and other bases, and the cost can be reimbursed.
As a result of all these factors, Han Dongling enjoys a very high reputation in this large area. In addition, Han Dongling also frequently "travels" to other bases across regions to conduct transactions, which has made the Xinghuo Base increasingly famous.
At this moment, the leaders of various bases who entered the Xinghuo Base were so impressed by the various buildings and facilities inside that they almost couldn't move.
Seeing this, Cheng Hui and Lu Lu quickly acted as introducers, introducing the Xinghuo Base to the people from other bases.
"This is the dormitory area of our base. The rows on the left are the boys' dormitories, and the rows on the right are the girls' dormitories. Our dormitories are for 1 to 4 people."
Other base leaders exclaimed, "What? Such nice dormitories, and each dormitory only houses four extra people?"
"Yes, we didn't have this option at first. We had 12 people per room. Later, the conditions improved, so we changed it to a maximum of 4 people per room. If you want a single room, you can exchange it for points or base contribution points."
Looking at the neat rows of bungalows or two-story buildings, all with uniform light yellow exterior walls, they looked much better than many houses with exposed red brick walls before the apocalypse. The roofs were all made into pointed, sloping roofs to take into account snowy weather.
Other base leaders thought to themselves: What? 12 people per room was the worst condition? Then what about them... Never mind, that's not how you compare them. The Spark Base was established later and didn't have many people at the beginning, which is normal. Their base has a much larger population than the Spark Base. If the Spark Base had their number of people, it definitely wouldn't be able to accommodate 4 people per room, and 12 people per room would definitely be a struggle.
After calming themselves down, the base leaders continued walking forward, looking around as if they couldn't take it all in.
"That's our base's training area. The one in the middle is the track and field, where you can play ball and run. There are also small table tennis and badminton courts, as well as some exercise equipment. When you're not on a mission, you can move around here freely."
Other base leaders: We're already lucky if our own members can fill their stomachs, let alone have the energy for these physically demanding activities. And the Spark Base even built an exercise area...
"That's the base canteen, they serve three meals a day..."
At this point, Han Dongling took over the conversation, "Everyone should eat before you leave. I've already asked the cafeteria to prepare it."
"How could I possibly accept that..."
"Everyone has come from afar, and we still have business to discuss later. The cafeteria has already prepared the food, so it can't be left uneaten."
The group was also curious about the food at the Spark Base. After a few polite exchanges, they decided not to refuse and soon arrived at Han Dongling's villa.
"This is our base commander's dormitory."
The others: A two-story villa as dormitories?! The Spark Base is indeed wealthy and powerful. Luckily, those thugs didn't manage to take advantage of us at the gate; our connections are still intact…
Lu Lu continued, "This is our conference hall. Please come this way."
The conference hall is next to Han Dongling's villa, only a three- to five-minute walk away.
The other base commanders were more interested in visiting Han Dongling's villa, but since they were guests, they followed the host's lead and had important business to discuss, so they had to suppress their curiosity and follow Han Dongling and the others to the conference hall of the Xinghuo Base.
In fact, the brick kiln production capacity of the Xinghuo base is not that great, enough to build so many buildings. Although they are only one or two stories high, the amount of building materials needed for these large areas is considerable.
The base is not yet self-sufficient. Han Dongling originally wanted Modern to supply some building materials, but Ning Xuan felt that Lin Yuhan's large-scale purchase of supplies was too conspicuous. Building materials are not like food or other supplies, which could be said to be sold or donated by Han Dongling.
So Ning Xuan contacted Xi Yue's side. Sure enough, they had a wide variety of building materials, and the basic materials weren't very expensive. With Xi Yue's current wealth, she could buy whatever she wanted. Moreover, as the planet lord, she had many conveniences in many places.
Especially for items purchased in large quantities, you can enjoy very large discounts.
After Ning Xuan learned that Xi Yue could supply interstellar building materials, she told Han Dongling about it, and Han Dongling continued to increase the supply of mutated wild vegetables and fruits.
After adding a few construction robots, the infrastructure of the Starfire Base was able to be built so quickly. Moreover, the interstellar building materials are warm in winter and cool in summer, with excellent heat preservation and cooling effects. They are also waterproof, fireproof, heat-insulating, and earthquake-resistant, making them particularly suitable for the ever-changing climate and various natural disasters in the post-apocalyptic world.
Upon arriving at the conference hall, everyone except the base members was stunned by its luxuriousness. "My god, Base Commander Han, your base is amazing! Did you just build this conference hall?"
"Yes, our base has its own brick kilns and technology, and we are currently able to achieve self-sufficiency in building materials. When we have surplus production, we welcome everyone to come and exchange."
However, I actually have an even better idea, which I was originally planning to share with you all at an opportune moment. Since everyone is here today, I'll take this opportunity to discuss it and see if it's feasible.
