Chapter 522 I Do!

"Get up, get up."

Before Ling Ran could speak, Su Yimo quickly told her assistant to get up.

Adults don't really like it when others kneel down.

She knew perfectly well whether the gratitude was genuine or not.

The assistant didn't hesitate and stood up, his eyes filled with gratitude, but even more so with admiration.

Well, another adult's little fanboy.

The irresistible charm of adults!

She needs to find a man to play with recently, otherwise she really can't stand being around adults every day.

After calming himself down, Li Siping was about to invite Ling Ran to the base entrance to unveil the red cloth when Pei Yi spoke first: "Manager Li, we have a business deal regarding crystal cores that we'd like to do with you. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

"The business of crystal cores? What kind of business?"

Can crystal nuclei be used for business?

Li Si was somewhat puzzled.

This business was supposed to be done by Dawn, but they forgot about it, which resulted in only Ge Jianbing from the three bases knowing the secret of the impurity-free crystal core, which made him extremely anxious.

Well, actually he wasn't that pent up. After all, he was teaching two apprentices and cooking so many meals every day that he simply didn't have time to think about anything else.

“Impure crystal nuclei. Come on, let’s go talk over there. Don’t disturb the adults watching the variety show.”

Wu Tong arched its back and leaned closer to the adult, its eyes clearly saying: That's right, that's right, it's been paused for so long, it still wants to keep watching.

Li Si was led to a room in the villa by Pei Yi. As he entered, Li Si inevitably began to have wild thoughts.

Why did the older brother call him into the room?

Could it be that she has some ulterior motive towards him?

If it's true, will he accept it or not?

The problem is that he's quite old, and if something happens to his anus, it seems there aren't any proctologists at his base.

His mind was racing uncontrollably until Pei Yi waved his hand in front of his eyes: "Manager Li?"

"I do!"

Pei Yi: "?"

Meeting Pei Yi's questioning gaze and his handsome, angular face, Li Si blushed.

It's all his assistant's fault, giving him all sorts of random novels every day!

"Ahem, nothing. What did Young Master Pei just say?"

Pei Yi looked at him suspiciously, then handed him the crystal core in his hand: "Manager Li, take a look, this is a crystal core without impurities."

Li Si probed into the crystal core and was immediately shocked: "Is this why Young Master Pei and the others were able to absorb the crystal core so quickly yesterday?"

This matter had been on Li Si's mind, but he was somewhat embarrassed to delve into it.

The adults have bestowed so many supplies upon us and saved the base's life. Now they want to ask us the secret to our rapid ability upgrades? It just feels too shameless.

So today, Li Si kept this matter to himself and didn't want to ask about it.

To my utter surprise, the adult was actually willing to bring this up on his own initiative.

"Hmm, given the same level of crystal cores, one hundred crystal cores will be returned as seventy impurity-free crystal cores. Manager Li, would you like to make a trade?"

"Of course, of course!"

Li Si readily agreed: "I'll go get the crystal core right now."

Fearing that Pei Yi might change his mind, Li Si even forgot about inviting the adults to unveil the red cloth. He hurriedly led the space ability user back and quickly convened a high-level meeting. In just over half an hour, Li Si returned with the space ability user.

As expected of a major base, Dawn Base produced nearly a million crystal cores while other bases could only offer 50,000 or 100,000.

However, most of these crystals are first- and second-level crystals, which were stored in the past, while third-level crystals account for a relatively small proportion.

It is essential for the base to have a certain amount of crystal cores. Just as a country needs a national treasury, the base also has many expenses that require money.

Strictly speaking, Dawn Base's savings are not much, but compared to other bases Ling Ran has visited, it is considered a lot.

So many crystal cores were all put into the space deep in thought, so Li Si wasn't afraid that Ling Ran would swallow them.

He looked at Ling Ran, somewhat hesitantly, and asked, "My lord, are you still going to make this deal with the Guardians and the Dawn?"

When Li Si said this, it wasn't that he didn't want Ling Ran and the other two bases to do it. On the contrary, he wanted to get Ling Ran's consent and then inform Fang Juefeng and Lu Fan of the news.

Although the three bases often fight and pull each other's hair, they have always maintained a relatively consistent attitude on matters of principle.

They checked and balanced each other while also helping each other, since the strength of the other two bases would also benefit the Dawn Base.

For example, in today's situation, if Dawn were much stronger than Sunrise, then they could come to provide support much earlier.

"Yes, I did it, I just forgot before."

During her time at the three bases, Ling Ran was indeed quite content and even considered staying there permanently. However, remembering that there were other places she hadn't visited yet, she dismissed the idea.

Hearing her words, Li Si was very happy: "Then I'll go and inform Manager Fang and Manager Lu to come over here for the transaction?"

"Can."

So, that afternoon, Fang Juefeng and Lu Fan, who had received Li Si's message, came over. When they arrived, Ling Ran was playing a game.

The two: Damn! How insidious! They've even brought the internet into this!

Setting up a network for a base isn't particularly difficult, but after the apocalypse, who has the mind to go online? Instead of spending time and effort on that, it's better to go outside and kill a few more zombies.

When Ling Ran arrived, Li Si immediately took care of the matter and even created so many mini-games.

Lu Fan said sourly, "Sir, the New Year is almost here. When are you going to hold a concert for the Guardians? Why don't you come over on New Year's Eve and we can celebrate the New Year together?"

"Chinese New Year? I think there are dragon and lion dances?"

To be precise, it's the Spring Festival.

Ling Ran has never experienced the Spring Festival in this world.

Uncle Chen, standing nearby, said, "Sir, this is a specialty of our Yue province. Every place has its own unique Spring Festival traditions."

"oh."

Lu Fan's eyes lit up: "Sir, why don't you hold a concert at the Guardians on New Year's Eve? I'll find someone to choreograph a dragon and lion dance for everyone, how about that?"

Although it may not be possible to find people who know how to perform dragon and lion dances, there are so many people with superpowers in the base that they can learn quickly with video tutorials.

Ling Ran was intrigued, so she nodded: "Okay, how many days until Chinese New Year?"

"If you calculate the time, it will be less than a week."

"Unbeknownst to us, another year has passed."

"Yes, at this time of year, I should be at home watching other people get stuck in traffic on the highway with my phone."

"I definitely haven't started my holiday yet. My inhuman boss only gave us the holiday on New Year's Eve. Damn it, why don't the zombies bite him to death?"

"Didn't he turn into a zombie?"

"No, and his son even awakened superpowers, damn it!"

The group was talking, and Ling Ran found it quite interesting.

People like Pei Xiusu and Yi Mo are considered to be in wealthy circles. Such down-to-earth conversations, such as looking at other people's phones while stuck in traffic or working overtime, would never happen in their lives.
