Chapter 204 My ears feel like they're plugged in.



"Okay, so when are you planning to have the wedding?"

Fang Xiyue leaned closer and looked into Jun Nanxuan's eyes.

"Soon, don't rush."

Jun Nanxuan pulled Fang Xiyue closer by the waist and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

Jun Nanxuan didn't plan to hold a wedding right away. He and Su Zheyu had already discussed it and decided that he would propose first.

Although they skipped the proposal step and got their marriage certificate first, they thought Yueyue must also want to have a proposal.

"Girls, girls, are you inside? Your auntie is back!"

Aunt Zhang's loud voice came from outside and woke up the young couple who were deeply immersed in their passionate kiss.

Fang Xiyue had no idea when she went from standing to sitting on Jun Nanxuan's lap, and she didn't know why her hands were inside Jun Nanxuan's shirt.

Jun Nanxuan was sitting on the sofa, his hand resting on something he shouldn't be on.

Their already flushed faces turned even redder. They got up, straightened their clothes, put on masks, and went outside.

"Oh, you're here. I was worried you wouldn't be able to wait and would leave."

Aunt Zhang was happy to see them come out.

“I just went door to door asking, and everyone is willing to contribute crystal coins. I've already told them to go over there and line up.”

Aunt Zhang pointed to a small pavilion not far away, and sure enough, there were already quite a few people there.

Since everyone is willing, Fang Xiyue will get this done today.

Fang Xiyue and Jun Nanxuan walked into the small pavilion. There was already a table in the pavilion, so there was no need to get another one.

She also saw Tian Tian and her mother in the queue; it must have been Tian Tian's mother who brought her out.

"I am Fang Xiyue. Everyone, come and line up to pay your crystal coins. I will work through the night to finish the job, and you will have water and electricity when you wake up tomorrow."

Jun Nanxuan started keeping accounts from Building 1, and Fang Xiyue collected crystal coins.

Upon learning that the owner of Building 8 was Fang Xiyue, the owners who had been somewhat skeptical immediately stopped doubting.

It's been over a month since the apocalypse, and they know perfectly well who can be trusted and who cannot.

Moreover, they had been informed beforehand that Yunshui Villa now belonged to Fang Xiyue, and they had already seen the photos.

Although Fang Xiyue is wearing a mask now, you can still recognize her by her eyes.

It feels so good to receive 200,000 every now and then.

All the homeowners also requested to add Fang Xiyue as a friend on their social media.

After the network coverage was established, they went to the military's network processing point to pay the crystal coins.

Fang Xiyue naturally did not refuse; it would be more convenient to add them to a group chat later for notifications.

The residents of Yunshui Villa are all important figures with considerable influence, so they never went on missions with the military from the beginning, but acted independently.

They adapted faster than the other survivors, so they started collecting supplies much earlier.

Therefore, they possess more resources than others, and thus more crystal coins.

However, now we need to go to much farther places to collect supplies.

But 200,000 crystal coins were nothing to them; they all came as soon as they heard there would be water and electricity.

Most importantly, all the owners in their villa area are very clear about the security measures of the eight buildings.

After Tian Tian and her mother finished paying the crystal coins in line, Tian Tian whispered, "I'm sorry," as they were leaving.

But she knew Fang Xiyue would not forgive her, and even she herself could not forgive herself.

Fang Xiyue felt absolutely no emotion; this apology was too late.

After all the homeowners had paid their crystal coins, Fang Xiyue and Jun Nanxuan put away their notebooks, said goodbye, and left.

No one thought Fang Xiyue would lie to them; it was probably just a feeling.

Since the installation was scheduled for tonight, Fang Xiyue wouldn't sign in now; she planned to fly over tonight to sign in.

Not long after leaving Yunshui Villa, before even reaching the commercial street, Battalion Commander Lu called again.

This time, Battalion Commander Lu's tone was very excited, and his voice was high-pitched.

"Xi Yue, the survivors of Xiuli Star City have all agreed to hand over crystal coins, especially the survivor team that previously lived in Jingxiu Star City, they took the lead."

"Xi Yue, how many crystal coins should we collect from each person? I'll collect them all and transfer them to you in a bit."

Battalion Commander Lu was worried that it was too expensive and some people wouldn't be able to afford it.

"150 million crystals per year."

The city of Xiuli Star can house 1 million survivors, but currently only 400,000 live there. However, it will soon be full again.

150 million crystals, when averaged out, amount to only 150 crystals per person per year.

Even with 400,000 people, the average annual cost is only 375 crystals per person, which is incredibly cheap.

Battalion Commander Lu was shocked by the price; he really hadn't expected Fang Xiyue to want so little.

Battalion Commander Lu's change in expression was so obvious that both Battalion Commanders Zhao and Jiang, who were standing next to him, noticed it.

"How much do you want?" Battalion Commander Zhao couldn't help but urge him to answer quickly.

Then Battalion Commander Lu stretched out one finger.

"10 billion?!" Battalion Commander Zhao's voice rose, and Battalion Commander Jiang guessed the same number.

10 billion, averaged out to each person per month, is just over 800 crystals.

However, for families with many members, a month's worth of crystal coins isn't enough to cover food expenses, so it's unrealistic for each person to contribute an additional 800 crystal coins.

"No, 150 million crystal coins a year."

Before Battalion Commander Lu could hang up the phone, he answered the calls of two other battalion commanders.

"My ears feel blocked, let me pick at them."

"Me too, there might be something dirty inside."

The two battalion commanders started picking their ears, saying that 150 million crystal coins was too little.

"Xiyue, Uncle Lu will go collect the crystal coins now and transfer them to you in a bit."
