Chapter 3 Necklace Space and Healing Dual Abilities
Song Pengcheng had just received all the supplies at this time. He still resented Ji An for not wanting to give him the crystal core, so he came over and scolded him, "Ji An, please stop being unreasonable! We agreed many years ago that we didn't want the supplies. You should have said so earlier."
The reason why Ji An agreed to this request in the first place was entirely for Chen Chen.
At that time, Chen Chen was a superpower, and Ji An was an ordinary person. If the two of them teamed up to fight superpowers, the superpowers would despise Ji An, an ordinary person, and think that he would be a drag. But if Chen Chen teamed up with ordinary people, Ji An was unwilling. That would be too tiring for Chen Chen, as he would be responsible for the safety of ordinary people, and the whole team would be a burden to him. He didn't dare to go to some places with abundant supplies, for fear of running into a team full of superpowers, and being unable to defeat them, and would only be working in vain.
Finally, Ji An proposed this method. He thought that as long as he could prove that he had the ability, his treatment would naturally change.
Later, Ji An's skills were indeed not inferior to any other psychic. Some powerful psychics even took the initiative to find Ji An to form a team, but Ji An liked Chen Chen and never joined a team without Chen Chen.
The team's remuneration had always been negotiated by Chen Chen. Ji An had never paid attention to this aspect, and Chen Chen had never mentioned it. Ji An thought his remuneration had been changed a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to remain the same. With his outstanding ability, he could independently hunt down a level 3 zombie that even a superpowered person could hardly deal with, so how could he work for nothing?
Even if you don't have the ability to hunt high-level zombies, no one would approve of following a superpowered person through life and death to complete missions in vain! Do you think your life is too long?
"As for that level three zombie, you stole it from us, okay? If it weren't for you, we could have gotten rid of it! Why don't you say that you hunted down a level three zombie and got a high-level crystal core for free!" As soon as Song Pengcheng's shameless remarks came out, the people around who were watching the fun looked at him with strange eyes.
That's a level three zombie, a being that even people with special abilities don't dare to provoke easily. How can Song Pengcheng have the nerve to talk as if Ji An had taken advantage of him?
Song Pengcheng is only a level 2 psychic. Although he is in peak condition, one level lower is still one level lower. He may not be able to defeat a level 3 zombie alone.
"Brother Pengcheng, don't say that." Tang Tang was smart and noticed the contemptuous looks from the people around her, so she quickly pulled the corner of Song Pengcheng's clothes.
"Brother Ji An, no matter what, we didn't tell you before we went on this mission, and everyone assumed that you wouldn't get paid. Now that you're going back on your word, it's going to be very difficult for Brother Chen.
How about this, forget it this time, there aren't a lot of things anyway, next time we go on a mission, let's discuss it in advance."
Tang Tang persuaded Ji An with understanding, blinking her innocent eyes, "If you still think it's unfair, I will share my reward for this mission with you."
Song Pengcheng became even angrier, pointing at Ji An and cursing, "Ji An, if you're still a man, don't shamelessly take Tang Tang's supplies!"
Ji An looked at the couple in front of him and felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit. Only after experiencing death did he take off the filter and finally see clearly what kind of white lotus the little girl he rescued and raised was.
"I risked my life to rescue Tang Tang from the zombie pile, and I have been using the money I earned over the years to support her. It is only natural that I should have these little things from her." Ji An glanced at Song Pengcheng coldly. These people seemed to have forgotten the fact that he was the one who rescued and raised the girl in front of them.
Tang Tang lowered her head, "Brother Ji An, have you forgotten that you have not been paid for these years, and have worked for free, so I was not raised by you to earn materials. I was raised by Brother Chen, and even you, you are usually raised by Brother Chen.
However, it is true that you saved me. Even though you saved me under the orders of Brother Yu Chen, it was still you who saved me, and I will remember it for the rest of my life.
As long as you want, I am willing to give you these supplies unconditionally, as a way of repaying you for saving my life."
It's really funny, can one day's food be exchanged for a life?
Ji An just found it ridiculous.
"I never want something that doesn't belong to me." Ji An's gaze fell on Tang Tang's swan-like, slender, white neck, where she was wearing a jade necklace.
Jade is of very high purity and clear texture. Looking at it, it is as if you are seeing a lush and verdant forest; the top of a snow-capped mountain; or the clear and gurgling water.
This necklace was a thank-you gift from a professor couple he rescued from the zombies.
Tang Tang liked it very much and asked for it more than once, but Ji An refused.
The last time Tang Tang asked to borrow it, Ji An had already developed feelings for Tang Tang and it was hard to refuse. Thinking it was just another loan, he agreed, but it was a loan that lasted for several years and he never returned it to him.
Ji An pointed at the necklace on Tang Tang's neck and said, "That necklace is mine. Miss Tang borrowed it from me a few years ago. Shouldn't I return it now?"
Ji An even changed the way he addressed Tang Tang, and directly called her Miss Tang in a strange way.
Tang Tang's face suddenly changed, and she covered the necklace with her hands in panic. Her reaction didn't seem like Ji An just wanted a necklace that was worthless in the end times, but rather like he was asking for her life.
Realizing that her reaction was too intense, Tang Tang forced herself to calm down, but her eyes still betrayed her anxiety.
"Brother Ji An, I know that I didn't stand by you and made you unhappy, but I really didn't mean it. I just simply felt that the base rules should not be broken. You are also the lover of Brother Chen, the base commander, and you should set an example. Don't blame me for this, okay?"
Tang Tang looked around and talked about other things. Her body was already shaky, like a little white flower swaying in the wind, so cute and pitiful.
Ji An knew that she was pretending all this.
Tang Tang looked like this not because she was hurt by Ji An, but because he had hit her sore spot.
There is a space in this necklace, and in that space there is a spiritual spring with healing properties.
This is how Tang Tang got her dual abilities of space and healing. In fact, she is just an ordinary person who has not awakened any abilities.
Ji An sneered, "Tang Tang, don't act like I did something to you. I just want my own things back. Why are you talking about all that useless stuff?"
Tang Tang bit her lip, looking pitiful. She did not answer Ji An's question, but said pitifully: "Brother Ji An, I'm sorry, please don't blame me, okay?"
Song Pengcheng couldn't stand it anymore and yelled, "Ji An, I really despise you. How can you be so tasteless? You want something back that you gave away! How can there be such a tasteless person like you in the world!"
Ji An was speechless. Did Song Pengcheng have no ears? He couldn't hear what he just said, "It was a loan."
Ji An discovered that maybe it wasn't that he couldn't hear, but that he didn't want to hear. No matter what he said, no matter how good his reasons were, they just didn't want to return it, so they were just making trouble.
Ji An stopped nagging at the two of them and decided to do it himself.
He took a quick step forward and stretched out his hands to grab the necklace around Tang Tang's neck. Just as his hands were about to touch the necklace, they were stopped by a pair of large hands.
"An, don't be like this. You watched Tang grow up. Don't you think it's too much to treat him like this?" Chen Chen held Ji An's arm and looked at Ji An painfully with his dark eyes.
Even now, Chen Chen's eyes were still full of affection when he looked at Ji An, and the pain in them made it seem as if he had been hurt in love, and there was a special kind of moving and deep affection in them.
Ji An was unmoved, having been a ghost for so long, he knew how heartless and ungrateful this seemingly affectionate person was inside.
He did not take his hand back, but asked coldly: "Chen Chen, let me ask you, are you going to stop me from taking back what belongs to me?"
Chen Chen's expression became even more bitter, and he said in embarrassment: "An, please don't be so unreasonable, okay?"
Just when the atmosphere was tense and ready to explode, Tang Tang pushed Chen Chen away and quickly wiped her tears and ran away, sobbing as she ran: "It's all my fault, isn't that enough? I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!"
"Tang Tang!" Song Pengcheng shouted anxiously, but he couldn't stop the person who was running away. He stomped his feet fiercely, and said angrily, "Ji An, if anything happens to Tang Tang, I will not let you go!"
After roaring, Song Pengcheng chased out.
