The middle-aged man looked into Ye Nianzhen's determined eyes, and he knew that this girl was not lying.
"I understand, I'll send someone to investigate. So, what brings you to the Northern Base?"
Ye Nianzhen was finally able to proudly state her demands: "I hope to form an alliance with your base and promise us certain benefits."
The middle-aged man was somewhat surprised, as he had expected the other party to make an exorbitant demand.
After all, if the news is true, Ye Nianzhen's team has essentially eliminated a huge hidden danger for them.
Moreover, according to the report from the city gate, the crisis of a large number of strange birds attacking was also resolved by Ye Nianzhen and others.
How could anyone refuse when such a powerful team of superhumans offered to form an alliance with them?
So he nodded in agreement and immediately summoned an assistant, telling Yip Nim-jen that she could make any requests she had.
As long as it doesn't exceed certain specifications, they will try their best to meet the requirements.
Ye Nianzhen secretly gave a thumbs-up to her teammates outside the window.
Mingyuan held up two fingers and gave a thumbs-up in return. Although Qin Qiu didn't understand, she clumsily did the same.
Then Ye Nianzhen laughed heartily. Her smile was not clearly visible through the glass, but the sunlight shining on it made it look very bright.
Qin Qiu felt something subtle growing inside her.
It filled his heart and squeezed out of his body.
The favorability bar grew silently and steadily.
It eventually stopped at one percent of full capacity.

After a chaotic and busy day, Ye Nianzhen was finally able to rest in her comfortable room.
After taking a shower, she changed into the casual clothes provided by the base and went to the terrace at the end of the corridor.
The dress was a pure white dress, very similar to the one we were assigned at the small base.
—Because the skirt made movement difficult, Ye Nianzhen had already cut it into strips to use as bandages.
Even if this dress she's wearing will suffer a similar fate in the future, it still fits Ye Nianzhen very well now.
Ye Nianzhen leaned against the railing, tilting her head slightly to bask in the moonlight.
Her hair was half-damp, and the wounds on her face had mostly healed, leaving faint red marks.
Another full moon appeared, and the bright moonlight fell on the white fabric, creating a hazy halo.
A man appeared from the other end of the corridor. Upon seeing Ye Nianzhen, his calm gaze turned slightly feverish.
In his eyes, the graceful figure standing on the terrace was like the most sacred goddess in the world.
He approached slowly, concealing his dangerous expression and feigning his usual polite and refined demeanor.
He patted the other person's shoulder lightly and blurted out a name: "Su Yue".
Ye Nianzhen suddenly turned around, her pupils trembling slightly.
She had noticed the approaching footsteps behind her long ago, but because the steps were so casual, she mistook them for those of her teammates.
Until she heard a strange voice utter a name etched into her very bones.
Su Yue.
Who is Su Yue?
Ye Nianzhen's name, which she would never forget even if she turned to ashes, replayed the painful experience of her last reincarnation in her mind, and that familiar headache swept over her again.
Su Yue is the name of the only female lead in "The Last Rose"!
Ye Nianzhen looked unwell, and the other person was also deeply shaken.
Countless doubts welled up in my mind.
How could he mistake her for someone else... Even from behind, he thought he had etched every detail of Su Yue into his mind.
Who is this person, and who is this woman? Why did they make him admit his mistake in an instant?
After a brief headache subsided, Ye Nianzhen saw the person in front of her clearly, and a murderous aura instantly filled her eyes.
He's the strategist of the female lead's team!
He has harmed countless people, prioritizing Su Yue's personal interests above all else, and resorting to any means to achieve his goals.
All four failures were inextricably linked to this person; Ye Nianzhen even hated him more than the female lead.
After all, Su Yue was pampered and had never actually gotten blood on her hands.
Even when her rabid dogs slaughtered an entire base for her sake, she still maintained that innocent and naive demeanor.
Yeh Nianzhen was incredibly grateful for her habit of always having her sketchbook with her at that moment.
She instantly drew a dagger, its sharp blade slashing towards the man's neck.
This strike was swift and decisive, and should have hit its mark when the opponent was off guard.
However, his instinct for danger caused the man to instinctively activate his supernatural abilities.
Ye Nianzhen's arm froze, and the attack deviated by a fraction of a second.
That tiny margin gave the man room to dodge; the dagger barely grazed his skin, leaving a clear bloodstain.
Strands of blood trickled down her neck and soaked into her collar.
Before the man could adjust his stance, Ye Nianzhen's next attack followed.
The supple, long legs swept across like whips, aiming to shatter the opponent's cervical spine.
But the dress was indeed cumbersome, greatly reducing Ye Nianzhen's speed, and the man dodged by stepping back.
He covered his wound with one hand, a cold glint flashing behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
The man's gaze swept meaningfully over Ye Nianzhen's skirt, and he scoffed, "How rude."
Ye Nianzhen braced herself with her hands to stop moving and looked up at the person a few meters away.
I'll gouge your eyes out!
After speaking, he attacked his opponent once again.
Strangely, every time she was about to hit a vital spot, her body would freeze for a moment, causing the attack to miss.
She felt that if things continued like this, the other party would definitely find a chance to escape.
Just as he was about to summon the painting spirit to kill the other party, a figure flashed out from above the terrace and leaped over the railing.
It is Qin Qiu.
He had been crouching on the roof watching the moon when he heard an unusual noise, so he came down to investigate.
