Survivors can increase their ability level by absorbing crystal cores.

Ruan Tian's acquisition of eight hundred crystal cores in one go was truly eye-catching and aroused envy.

"I've really become rich overnight!"

Just as Ruan Tian was about to happily feed all the crystal cores to the cart, something tugged at her trouser leg.

She looked down and met Xiaobai's wet eyes.

Ruan Tian: "...Child, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

The primary task at present is to upgrade the cart level to unlock new recipes.

For a newbie like me, a little hardship is acceptable...

"Waaah."

Little White whimpered and looked pitifully at Ruan Tian. Its thin tail, only as long as a mechanical pencil, was about to break off.

Ruan Tian really couldn't bear it. She covered her eyes, gritted her teeth, and stomped her foot.

"Alright, I'll give you a hundred."

Xiao Bai was satisfied and obediently ate the one hundred low-level crystal cores that Ruan Tian gave him.

Watching Ruan Tian's wasteful actions, Lu Xuexue couldn't help but say sourly:

"They really gave such valuable things to a dog. How shameless."

“Oh right, right,” Ruan Tian said with a forced smile, “I’m shameless, and I even care about other people’s dogs.”

Ruan Tian stood up from the ground, put her hands on her hips, and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Lu Xuexue:

"You're amazing, you're so high and mighty. You had a fiancé, yet you still went and became a mistress. If you're so capable, why don't you conjure up some steamed buns yourself?"

"You!" Lu Xuexue's tears immediately welled up, feeling that she had been insulted.

Lu Xuexue's superpower is only C-level, which is the ability to conjure water.

It sounds impressive, since water is a very precious resource in the apocalypse.

But Lu Xuexue could only conjure up so little water that it wasn't even enough to fill a baby's washbasin.

The water she conjured was undrinkable and completely useless.

If it weren't for Ye Mofeng's strength, she wouldn't be alive today.

"Why don't you just cry? I bet you'll cry more tears than you can conjure with your powers."

"Ye Mofeng!" Lu Xuexue, who had been bullied by Ruan Tian, ​​could only cry and turned her anger towards Ye Mofeng.

"Why did you call him?" Ruan Tian put the cart away. "Miss, if you beg me, I might give you the skin of the xiaolongbao."

Lu Xuexue sobbed and subconsciously asked, "What about the minced meat?"

Ruan Tian pointed at Xiao Bai, who was still eating the crystal core, and said, "Of course, it's for Xiao Bai to eat."

"Wah!" Lu Xuexue couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.

With so many people around making fun of her, Lu Xuexue's pride couldn't take it, and without saying a word, she ran straight into the tent.

Her lover, Peng Si, glared at Ruan Tian and immediately followed her inside to coax her.

She completely disregarded her fiancé, Ye Mofeng.

Ye Mofeng wanted to chase after her, but Ruan Tian stopped him, saying, "Listen to me, don't go."

"But Xuexue is crying so sadly," Ye Mofeng couldn't help but worry.

"That's called faking crying; you can see there aren't any tears at all."

Ye Mofeng didn't believe it. "Xuexue is very fragile. If I don't comfort her now, she will break down."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian laughed loudly, pointing at herself with her hand, "If you go in now, I'll be the one who gets shattered."

He hesitated, but the crying inside the tent grew louder and louder.

Ye Mofeng shook his head helplessly, "You break it first, I'll come out and put you back together in a bit."

Ruan Tian: "..."

Now I finally understand how terrifying a simp can be.

Ye Mofeng went inside, while Ruan Tian squatted outside the tent, counting the time.

I also pricked up my ears to listen to the conversations inside the house.

While crying, Lu Xuexue questioned Ye Mofeng in a coquettish voice:

"If Ruan Tian and I both fell into a horde of zombies, who would you save first?!"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian's lips twitched. Wasn't this the same as "If I and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"

Ruan Tian strained her ears even more, practically pressing her entire body against the tent, listening to the sounds coming from inside.

They didn't hear Ye Mofeng speak, but Lu Xuexue's crying stopped.

Ruan Tian stopped listening and pouted.

Her current situation is actually quite awkward; if she wanders around the campsite at will, she may face danger.

So many people saw through Ruan Tian's special ability and were very envious.

You could even say they were envious and jealous!

They dared not imagine how happy they would be if they possessed Ruan Tian's skills and lived a carefree life like a steamed bun in the apocalypse.

Ruan Tian could only squat at the tent entrance, bored out of her mind, thinking, "Maybe I should just sleep in the stroller tonight."

At this moment, Ye Mofeng came out of the tent.

When Ruan Tian looked up, she saw the handprint on his face.

"Ouch, that was really heavy-handed."

Ye Mofeng was used to it. Despite being a chosen one with such powerful abilities, he still insisted on being a sycophant.

He squatted down and sat down next to Ruan Tian.

"Didn't you choose Lu Xuexue just now?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mofeng was taken aback. "You heard that?"

Ruan Tian nodded, embarrassed to admit that her posture while eavesdropping resembled that of a lewd cockroach.

Ye Mofeng smiled faintly, "I didn't choose."

Ruan Tian was quite curious: "So how did you reply?"

Ye Mofeng is a very honest person. "I said I would split myself in two with a sword."

"..." Ruan Tian silently gave a thumbs up.

Ye Mofeng was very honest. Seeing that Ruan Tian wasn't saying anything, he thought she was angry, so he immediately explained:

"In the later stages, my superpower will become very strong. I can use a sword to split myself in two, and maybe I can actually save two people at the same time."

"Okay, stop it," Ruan Tian was amused by Ye Mofeng's words.

But after glancing at her survival time, Ruan Tian quickly stopped smiling.

"Ye Mofeng, I gave you so many xiaolongbao today."

"Yes."

Ruan Tian stated her purpose frankly, "Shouldn't you thank me?"

"Thank you," Ye Mofeng said with a very serious expression.

[Congratulations, host Ruan Tian, ​​for gaining +1 point of gratitude from Ye Mofeng and +1 hour of survival time.]

Ruan Tian was dissatisfied, "Could you express your gratitude a little more strongly?"

"..." Ye Mofeng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, they were full of sincerity.

"Thank you, great Lady Ruan Tian, ​​for the eight xiaolongbao you have given me."

[Congratulations, host Ruan Tian, ​​for gaining +3 points of gratitude from Ye Mofeng and +3 hours of survival time.]

Ruan Tian was satisfied. "I can get a good night's sleep tonight."

At this point, she suddenly woke up with a start, "Where will the two of us sleep tonight?"

Ye Mofeng wasn't so particular. He patted the ground and said, "The sky is my blanket, and the ground is my bed."

Hearing his words, Ruan Tian silently summoned the small cart and the two-and-a-half-yuan stool.

"Would you rather sleep in the stroller tonight, or choose this small stool?"

Ye Mofeng watched as Ruan Tian was about to climb onto the stroller and said with a wry smile, "I choose the small stool."

Ruan Tian felt relieved. She lay down comfortably on the counter of the trolley, rested her head comfortably against the steamer, and closed her eyes.

Goodnight, Ye Mofeng.

"Okay, goodnight, Ruan Tian."

The two of them closed their eyes at the same time, and the next second, Lu Xuexue's aggrieved voice came from inside the tent:

"Ye Mofeng, come in and wash my feet."
