When the 'Heavenly Dog' devoured the sun, the apocalypse descended. Xu Zhi, a young girl with a heart condition, was cruelly abandoned by her parents in a dead city.
Countless mutated...
Chapter 50 50. New Gate
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
And asked what happened.
Zhong Lingfan was speechless for a moment when she saw Xu Zhi's innocent expression. She paused for two seconds to sort out her thoughts that had been confused by Xu Zhi, and then she spoke:
“Isn’t this a bit hasty?”
"Even if we really want to move there, there are still many details that need to be discussed."
What's more, it happened too suddenly. Even now she still feels a little confused. She just received a strange extraordinary person, so why did she suddenly have to move all her men to another place to live?
"Well, do you have any questions?" Xu Zhi looked at her as if he was willing to negotiate.
"Resource allocation, security construction, and future planning, aren't they all problems?" Zhong Lingfan felt a little headache. She felt like she was talking to a child about things that the other person didn't want to hear at all.
Even the person who made this proposal seemed to have not considered these practical issues at all.
"You can take your time to think about these. I don't understand them. Just do whatever you want when the time comes." Xu Zhi's words sounded a bit shameless, but they were indeed what she thought in her heart.
Why should she worry about this?
She just needs to ensure a steady stream of core income. To do this, she needs to plan a safe territory and put more people in it. With talented people, there is productivity.
She is not good at management and doesn't know how to do it at all, so why not just hand it over to someone who knows how to do it?
As long as she remains in an invincible position, she doesn't need to worry about other problems such as someone being disobedient and trying to rebel.
So she didn't need Zhong Lingfan's loyalty, she just needed her to know the current situation.
"It's a bit irresponsible of you to say that. This is not a trivial matter." Zhong Lingfan frowned and disagreed.
Sure enough, her feeling was correct. Xu Zhi's attitude towards this matter was so casual that it seemed like a joke. She didn't care about anything, and the only thing she insisted on seemed to be that the people on her side had to move over.
"So, why?"
Zhong Lingfan asked, "Why do you want us to move there?"
Xu Zhi did not hide it: "Because I need the core."
"I need the core, but I don't want to be a bandit, so I provide you with shelter and you provide me with the core."
"It's like renting a house. You rent a safe territory from me, as well as an environment suitable for weak transcendents to train, and I only charge a small fee."
"Experience?" Zhong Lingfan grasped the key point.
"Yes." Xu Zhi nodded. "I will clear out the mutant animals nearby that are too powerful for you to defeat."
Thinking about the casualties caused by mutant animals since the early days of the garden, and the foreseeable benefits if Xu Zhi's words were true, Zhong Lingfan was a little tempted.
But she still said: "But your attitude of forcing people to buy and sell makes it really hard for me to trust you."
According to normal people's logic, what one should do after hearing such words is obviously to express one's sincerity and gain trust, but as soon as Xu Zhi opened his mouth, he broke Zhong Lingfan's cognition.
The girl in front of her smiled and said to her:
"But Professor, I don't need your trust because you have no choice but to cooperate with me."
"I didn't hurt any of you. This is my sincerity. Can't you see it?"
"So, in order for everyone to live well in this city, cooperate with me?"
It's so arrogant and unreasonable, but it makes people helpless.
In the end, Zhong Lingfan could only helplessly say: "Tomorrow, I will arrange for people to defend. If you can really enter this room unscathed, I will promise you."
"Also, you must not kill anyone or cause irreparable harm."
This means that Xu Zhi should be more restrained in his actions, which is also a disguised way of reducing Xu Zhi's power.
"Of course." Xu Zhi nodded. Those were her leeks, and she would feel sad if they were really harmed.
After making this decision, Zhong Lingfan felt a rare sense of bewilderment in her heart. Even when she had chosen to stay in Yuncheng, she had never felt this kind of confusion and uncertainty about the "future". But now she experienced it in a little girl.
This is really
"Have times really changed?"
At this point, Zhong Lingfan still has doubts about whether Xu Zhi has this ability. Everything will have to wait until tomorrow to be revealed.
But now.
"Professor, do you have a Light attribute core? Give me one. I'll trade it for a core of another attribute."
She herself doesn't attract [Lights], but Zhong Lingfan's attributes are all [Lights], so there must be a few of them, right?
"I do have it, but I don't need the cores for other attributes."
"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future." Xu Zhi said.
However, ordinary extraordinary people are different from her. They really don’t need cores of other attributes at all.
In the end, Xu Zhi exchanged one core of each of the other seven attributes with Zhong Lingfan for a core of the [Lamp] attribute.
In Zhong Lingfan’s words: Just think of it as a collection.
Having exceeded the goal of entering the spiritual body this time, Xu Zhi returned to his physical body in a good mood. Xiao Zhen also flew into the sky and left after her spiritual body time was up.
After returning to his body, Xu Zhi decided to wait until Zhong Lingfan's people were brought over and things were settled a little before going to the outside world to trade with the Special Investigation Office.
In addition, she found Shen Jinwen and told her that she would pick up a group of survivors tomorrow. Among them was a woman named Zhong Lingfan who was the manager of those people, and she did not intend to deprive her of her position.
"If you're interested, you can manage this place with her. If not, just continue to collect cores at the street office."
Shen Jinwen shook his head: “Not interested.”
If Xu Zhi hadn't asked her to, she wouldn't even be interested in collecting cores. Her only interest was going out hunting every day to hone her skills and improve her extraordinary abilities.
"Okay, let her take care of it herself."
After returning from Shen Jinwen, Xu Zhi opened the warehouse and saw the [Lamp] attribute core that he had exchanged with Zhong Lingfan.
It lay quietly in the warehouse, emitting a bright yellow light.
When Xu Zhi clicked on it, he got information about the [Light].
【Lamp: The principle of light.】
It encompasses indifference, knowledge, reason, and radiance. It is more closely associated with the sun and dreams. Its possessor is characterized by mysterious and powerful dreams and a spirit devoted to radiance.
“It looks pretty great.”
This is Xu Zhi’s evaluation.
It seems like an attribute that a group of believers would possess, but this believer is different from the [Cup].
It seems to be two extremes compared to [cup].
At this moment, the narrator suddenly jumped out.
[Congratulations, you now understand all the attributes. When you successfully advance your extraordinary attributes, you will open a new door.]
