A few days later, planes from various countries kept flying to the southern capital of the Dragon Kingdom to exchange for supplies, and this continued for several months before it finally stopped.

To the delight of all nations, the Dragon Kingdom's ruler, for reasons unknown, suddenly stopped limiting the amount of goods they could exchange.

Furthermore, he lowered the price of crystal cores significantly. For bases with few crystal cores, he allowed them to hand over any existing crystal cores they possessed and exchange them for various resources.

This news was an absolute surprise for the top officials of the bases in various countries.

As a result, the top officials of various countries continued to increase the supplies by hundreds of times, and they all took supplies that could be stored for a long time.

Since there are no restrictions and only one chance to exchange, all countries keep exchanging.

Upon receiving the news, the bases of the Dragon Kingdom also applied to the Lord once again for supplies.

The nobleman accepted all offers without hesitation, agreeing to anything as long as it included a single crystal core.

This made everyone ecstatic. They knew where the Lord had gotten his supplies from; they had stockpiled large quantities of goods before the natural disaster struck.

Many people speculate that the Lords were afraid that the supplies would spoil if they couldn't be stored for long, so they benefited various bases around the world.

Junjue didn't care what others speculated. After months of constantly exchanging resources, he and his teammates had accumulated piles of crystal cores that were as high as small mountains in their space.

Meanwhile, the personnel sent by various countries to exchange supplies returned home laden with countless goods.

After receiving this ample supply, their unease and despair gradually faded.

If we use these supplies sparingly, they can last for at least another ten years!

In recent months, bases around the world have been bustling with activity.

On the open ground in front of the fortress, the lord, holding a communicator and staring intently at the direction the plane was taking off, said wearily:

"The last plane carrying supplies has finally left. Everyone is exhausted after months of hard work."

Shangguan Wan'er dragged her heavy steps to Junjue's side. She looked exhausted, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Junjue knew that she had also contributed a lot to this large-scale exchange of supplies.

"My Lord, I hope our efforts can bring a glimmer of hope to those in need."

"I can't breathe," Shangguan Wan'er said, her voice filled with determination and unwavering resolve.

Junjue gently patted her shoulder, an encouraging smile appearing on his face.

At the fortress gate, Ye Yuantian was bending down, organizing documents that were taller than himself. His eyes were red and swollen, and his fingers were trembling slightly.

He was the most diligent person in this exchange operation. He spared no effort to check every single item in order to ensure that all the items were delivered to the various countries accurately.

"Night, you've worked hard." Junjue walked to his side and said with sincere gratitude.

Ye Yuan tilted his head slightly and forced a smile. "You're too kind, teammate. We're a team, and everyone's been busy lately. How could I be left out?"

Dongfang Ao and Di Zhantian sat on the ground to the side, staring intently at the flight path map in front of them. They knew every location on the route like the back of their hand.

They are key figures in the domestic drone control center, transporting supplies to various bases in China. To ensure the safe flight of the drones, they have been working continuously for dozens of hours.

"Ao, Zhantian, thank you for your hard work." Junjue expressed his gratitude to them.

You're too kind!

Su Ye and Yue Ying stood silently to the side. They were the vanguard of this exchange operation, responsible for protecting the safety of the aircraft.

The two remained vigilant, watching each plane take off with heightened alertness.

"Ye, Yueying, thank you." Junjue nodded to them in respect.

Chen Fan and Butler Zhao gritted their teeth and took charge of checking and storing the supplies.

Both of them were exhausted, but they showed no sign of stopping.

"Chen Fan, Uncle Zhao, thank you for your hard work." Junjue walked up to them, his gratitude evident in his words.

After Junjue finished speaking, he used his mind to load all the supplies into each plane.

"Young Master, you're welcome. It's been a long time since I've been busy. Doing this every now and then feels quite good," Butler Zhao said excitedly.

"You're welcome. Although it's tiring to be busy, it's all worth it when I think about how many more people won't starve!" Chen Fan said with a smile.

The last batch of planes slowly departed, the noise of the aircraft fading into the distance, and the entire base fell into silence.

Everyone felt a wave of fatigue wash over them, and they sat down on the floor to have a tired but enjoyable conversation.

"These past few months have been exhausting," Shangguan Wan'er said, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"But our efforts were worthwhile," Dongfang Ao said calmly, with a proud look in his eyes.

"This exchange operation was executed beautifully." Su Ye gave everyone a thumbs up.

"But you still need to rest and fully recover your energy," Junjue said with concern.

"Yes, we need to catch our breath." Yue Ying closed her eyes, feeling both tired and satisfied.

"Our handsome captain is our soul; with him around, we're invincible," Ye Yuan said with a playful laugh. The others laughed along.

"I'm not that awesome. It's best for you guys to become stronger yourselves," Junjue said speechlessly.

The group burst into laughter upon hearing their captain's words.

"Hahaha!"

"Anyway, the captain is the best."

"Yes! Our captain is our idol!"

"They are the people we admire most!"

Sitting on the ground, everyone in the team felt a strange sense of happiness and satisfaction.

None of them were jealous of each other's achievements, and no one argued about who was more important. They simply worked silently for a common goal.

Now, they sit down on this weary land and feel the beauty of that unity.

They knew that this exchange was just the beginning, and they had a lot of work to do.

But today, they need to rest well and prepare for tomorrow's challenges.

[Ding—Salvation System mission completed. Congratulations, host, you have received a ten-thousand-fold increase in reward.]

"A 10,000-fold increase in return? Does the system mean that everything I give out will have a 10,000-fold return?"

"What about the zombie crystal cores I received?" Junjue thought to himself, both happy and puzzled.

[Host, the crystal cores you received also received a 100,000-fold return. Go check it yourself if you don't believe me.]

"Okay!"

When Junjue heard the system's words, he was so happy he almost lost his bearings.

He quickly checked the crystal cores he had received in his space, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw that the piles of crystal cores that were originally like small mountains had turned into piles of crystal cores that were like large mountains, which made him so excited that he could hardly stop smiling.

The more crystal cores the better! When I reach the peak of my superpowers, I can train even more superpowered individuals, right?

His system shop has awakening potions, one tube only costs 10,000 points. When he builds the base, he wants to create an awesome superpowered team.
