Chapter 322 Giving up the whole forest for a single tree

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for the mission was fast approaching.

Ling Ran and his group arrived at the base entrance on time. Many superhumans had already arrived, and there were also quite a few heavy trucks nearby.

Ling Ran was sipping her iced drink when Su Yimo suddenly whispered, "My lord, look at the three o'clock position."

Three o'clock?

Ling Ran subconsciously turned her head to look, and then saw Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian. Su Yimo's voice was still saying, "Look at those two, their eyes are practically glued to each other. Are they together now?"

Indeed, Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian were walking at the front, followed by Lu Weizhuo and other members of Xia Qianqian's team. All of them had gloomy faces and looked like they were victims of a great injustice.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I thought she would be with someone from her own team, but I didn't expect it to be Zhou Chong. How long has she been at Hope Base? A little over a week? She's progressing pretty fast."

Ling Ran looked at it and took a sip of mango juice: "It seems that Meng Rui from their team has disappeared."

“Meng Rui is just an ordinary person, it’s normal not to take her on missions.” Su Yimo didn’t care much and continued gossiping: “But I really didn’t expect Manager Zhou, I thought he would like the bright and mature type.”

Ling Ran smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhou Chong is very ambitious.

Although she doesn't remember the original plot, he's capable enough to get the female lead to give up building her own base and join his.

In her previous life, Xia Qianqian was obsessed with romance. After being reborn, she saw through the scumbag, but she was still obsessed with romance at heart.

After all, being reborn doesn't mean you'll gain more intelligence.

Zhou Chong might be interested in her, but it's mostly because of the resources she has.

Just like ancient emperors, using marriage to obtain a woman they liked, who could also help them, was an incredibly worthwhile deal.

The story claims that the female lead is reborn, hoards goods, recruits teammates, and builds a base with men, but Ling Ran only sees her as a tool to help the male lead achieve his ambitions.

With so many resources at his disposal, he could have ascended the throne himself, yet he chose to support Zhou Chong, sacrificing the entire forest for a single tree—foolish.

As for love, even a dog wouldn't believe in it, lol!

As they were talking, Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian's team had already walked over. Zhou Chong whispered something in Xia Qianqian's ear, and she felt a little smug as she sensed the various envious, jealous, or curious glances around her.

"Okay, go ahead."

Zhou Chong went up to the platform, while Xia Qianqian patted her feverish face and then walked over to stand next to Ling Ran and the others.

Lu Wei, standing behind her, excitedly greeted Ling Ran and the others: "My lord, you're here too! That's great! I can go on missions with you again!"

Xia Qianqian sneered inwardly upon hearing Lu Wei's words.

I was just heartbroken, but now I'm so happy to see Ling Ran. Someone like you can only be a simp for the rest of your life, and you'll be a dead simp even when you die.

Su Yimo was still very curious about Lu Wei, so she greeted him, "You're here too? Did you join the Hope Base?"

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?

Su Yimo's words hit the nail on the head for everyone except Xia Qianqian.

Lu Wei gave a bitter smile: "I guess so."

He left the G City base because he was lured by Xia Qianqian's promises. They had agreed to build a base together, but in the end, he just joined a new one.

More importantly, Xia Qianqian's relationship with Zhou Chong made Lu Wei feel betrayed.

Although Xia Qianqian said they weren't together, even if they really weren't, it was only a matter of time before they got together.

Previously, Lu Wei was full of confidence, believing that Xia Qianqian had feelings for him, but in the end... he didn't even know when Xia Qianqian and Zhou Chong got together.
