Chapter 174 Gossip about the Star Base

“Such a large base, yet not a single capable person.” Pei Xiu shook his head, speaking in a tone like a father to his son: “I am very disappointed with the Star Base.”

The four people: "..."

Who are you?

Want to disappoint you?

Pei Xiu initially wanted the group of four to go back, but then he suddenly remembered the twins he had met earlier and couldn't help but ask gossipily, "Do you know about the Liaoyuan Base?"

"I know, he's a traitor who came from our Star Base."

"Huh? Traitor?" Pei Xiu thought about the twins' appearance and didn't think they were that kind of people.

The younger girl glared at the man who called her a traitor and offered to explain, "That's what the Star Base says, but those who know the truth are aware that the Star Base is the one that discarded us after we've served our purpose."

Pei Xiu's eyes lit up instantly: "What do you mean?"

“One of the management members of the Star Base was Wen Yulan, who was also in charge of the Wildfire Base…”

“You said I know him,” Pei Xiu interrupted her.

"Wen Yulan is the girlfriend of this management team. They were the ones who initially established the Star Base, which means that a single spark can start a prairie fire. However, as the base began to expand and many powerful people came in, their power was gradually eroded."

Pei Xiu nodded.

If you lack the power, even if you establish the base yourself, you probably won't be able to command respect. Wen Yulan and her boyfriend lacked the necessary power, so it was inevitable that their authority would be delegated.

"At this time, one of the managers, who was more powerful than Wen Yulan's boyfriend, took a liking to the Wen sisters. In order to protect his own power, her boyfriend persuaded the Wen sisters to sleep with this manager, so that all three of them could advance further..."

"Damn it! You beast!"

Pei Xiu recalled the somber expressions on Wen Yulan and Wen Rulan's faces when they mentioned this matter, realizing there really was some gossip going on.

"The two naturally refused, and their boyfriend's actions also hurt Wen Yulan's heart. So the sisters took some superpowered individuals and survivors who still followed them and went to the neighboring Yangzhou to establish the Liaoyuan Base."

At this point, the girl sighed: "Actually, I also want to go, but I heard that the Liaoyuan Base is too small."

If we encounter any natural disasters or zombie hordes, we're afraid we'll lose our lives.

"So, where is Wen Yulan's ex-boyfriend now? I mean, what position does he hold?"

"I heard that because of his lack of ability, he is only a squad leader and can no longer be considered part of the management."

"That scumbag deserves it!"

Pei Xiuyi cursed indignantly, "Strictly speaking, this Star Base has nothing to do with Wen Yulan and her ex-boyfriend anymore."

"Yes, actually, everyone at Star Base agrees and is happy to have a stronger management team. After all, a strong management team means greater security for the base. So even though many people know that Wen Yulan is not a traitor, no one will explain it."

It can only be said that Wen Yulan's ex-boyfriend's affair was a trigger. Wen Yulan and her ex-boyfriend were not powerful enough to command respect, and they would be ousted sooner or later.

There's no right or wrong in this kind of thing; it's just a matter of the survival of the fittest, the strong being respected, and the strong being respected.

Fairness and truth are unimportant; what matters is whose fist is bigger.

After learning about the Wen sisters' gossip, Pei Xiu started conducting market research: "If there were a crystal core that contained only energy, would you be willing to buy it?"

"Of course! But it still depends on the cost-effectiveness."

They could barely afford the price of the evolution fluid at the base; anything higher would be unacceptable. Of course, having a lot of crystal cores was a different story.

"Hmm." Pei Xiu nodded and waved to them, "Alright, it's nothing, you guys go to sleep."
