"Tch, do you really think I'll starve just because I can't get into the stock exchange? You bunch of trash!"

"Let me tell you, that guy was sleazy and greasy-looking. So what if he had superpowers? I still beat him up, pfft~"

"It was truly a case of 'the mountains and rivers seemed to block the way, but then they brought in a wreath of flowers on the willow bank!' Today, I'll give them a good beating!"

"good!!"

Lu Xiaoyao squatted on a small stool in the yard, telling the children who were looking at her with bright eyes and admiration about her "glorious deeds" a few days ago, which made the children exclaim in surprise, and Lu Xiaoyao's vanity swelled up!

I'm so proud~.jpg

Lou Jia, who was sitting quietly weaving a bamboo basket on a stool not far away, would occasionally look up and gaze in the direction of Lu Xiaoyao.

Looking at the children surrounding her, Lou Jia's previously gloomy face softened, and then she pursed her lips and continued working with her head down.

Seeing how popular Lu Xiaoyao is with children, he decided not to undermine her.

A few days ago, someone caused a scene at the exchange with Bai Xiao and was arrested and detained for half a day by the patrol department of the management base An Ding.

In the end, it was Mu Chen and Ming Mei who went to redeem them and brought them out.

Because the incident caused quite a stir, everyone on both Mu Chen's and Lu Gui's teams was blacklisted by the exchange and was unable to access the exchange to purchase food and daily necessities for the time being.

Speaking of which, Mingmei and Muchen thought they could control the situation in time while standing in the crowd.

But no one expected that Lu Xiaoyao would make her move so soon after she said she would.

With a single punch imbued with supernatural power, Lu Xiaoyao sent her opponent flying more than ten meters, ultimately creating a dent in the makeshift wall of the exchange.

Just as the two burly men behind the old woman were about to make a move, Bai Xiao was blown away by her wind-based supernatural power.

The remaining old lady, seeing this, didn't need them to do anything; she was so frightened that she fainted on her own.

As a result, the only two of the three people present who actually made a move were caught.

According to Wang Wenfei's own answer, she originally wanted to beat up the old lady _(:3」∠)_

Just then, Mingmei, who had arranged to pick up the vegetables from Loujia's house, arrived at the door and heard Lu Xiaoyao, who had come to visit earlier, boasting about her previous "great achievements."

After listening for a while, Mingmei couldn't help but twitch at the corners of her eyes and mouth.

"But my brother said I can't just lay a hand on him, or I'll have to pay compensation!"

Children speak without restraint.

Just as Lu Xiaoyao was embellishing her story about how she beat up (actually just one punch) the other person, the four or five-year-old girl sitting in front of her innocently asked, "Sister, did you pay compensation?"

Lu Xiaoyao: "..."

Could you please not ask this kind of question at this time?

"Pfft~"

Mingmei couldn't help herself and burst into laughter. Her laughter drew everyone's attention to her arrival, which made Lu Xiaoyao blush with embarrassment.

But Lu Xiaoyao changed her mind and let go.

Hi!

She had the nerve to say that even with Lou Jia there, there's no reason she should feel embarrassed when her good friend is around!

When Lou Jia saw Mingmei, he nodded slightly and said "wait a moment." He then finished the last step of weaving the bamboo basket in his hand, took a handful of seeds from a small bowl, and placed them at the bottom of the basket. Soon, one green vegetable after another lay at the bottom of the basket.

Mingmei stepped forward and took the bamboo basket, then stuffed three crystal cores into the other person's hand: "Thanks."

"You're welcome." After putting the crystal core into his pocket, Lou Jia couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to make your move?"

"Oh, weren't you not going to participate?"

"Not participating does not mean not caring."

Because Lou Jia had several children with him, he remained neutral and did not get involved in their power struggle with those above him.

In addition, his special abilities and obedient work style meant that his superiors didn't make things too difficult for him.

Unexpectedly, even Lou Jia now has reservations about them.

"They're annoying," Lou Jia said, his brow furrowed with impatience. "They don't give me any extra money."

Mingmei: "..."

This reason seems familiar.

“Every day I have to help them grow vegetables and grains on ten acres of land. They even hoard the energy cores from growing them. It took me half a month to grow a crop of grains. Vegetables take a little less time, but it still takes ten days. All that hard work only earns me three energy cores a day. They even warned me not to do anything crooked... Don’t my family need to eat?”

Bright, who had just bought a basket of vegetables for three crystal cores: "..."

"They're so dark-skinned."

Mingmei took a deep breath before saying this.

She swallowed the rest of the sentence, "So how dare you accept three crystal cores from me now? That's pretty shady."

Thinking about how she used to have two crystal cores for ten boxed meals, and now she only has one or two crystal cores, she felt embarrassed to say that the other party had cheated her.

"Isn't that right?"

Without sensing Mingmei's complex emotions, Lou Jia continued, "It's fine if the hard-earned compensation is small, then if I could accelerate the growth of those vegetables and grains and have a sufficient supply of crystal cores, the base wouldn't be in a state of high-priced, rationed grain supply right now. Now it's even worse, we earn less and spend more, who would be happy?"

"That's right."

"So, you can act quickly if you want."

"I know, I know."

Mingmei only mentioned this matter after she finished buying groceries, and as soon as she got back, Mu Chen told her that something had happened.

After lunch, Mu Chen and the other superhumans held a meeting in the main room.

This time, we're talking about the sudden and forced conscription of various teams of superhumans out of the city to do missions.

What are you going out for?

"The higher-ups said that this year there was a zombie outbreak first, and the summer was extremely hot. It's inevitable that this winter will also be extremely cold. As a result, we may not be able to go out to do missions and search for supplies in winter, and the base will face a food shortage problem again."
