Sure enough, upon hearing Li Xin'er's words, Lu Chen's eyes lit up. If it could be delivered anywhere...
"I'd like to send this batch of supplies to the Huangxia Plain, is that alright?"
Li Xin'er nodded calmly, "Of course, anywhere."
She's getting tired of staying here, so going out for a while wouldn't be a bad idea.
Lu Chen immediately approved, "Okay, 200,000 crystal cores, pay half first, and the balance when the supplies arrive?"
"Can."
Lu Chen stood up and gentlemanly extended his hand to Li Xin'er.
"So, it's been a pleasant collaboration?"
Li Xin'er reached out and shook hands with her, saying, "It's a pleasure working with you."
After finalizing some minor details, it was agreed that Lu Chen would pay half of the deposit 15 days later.
Lu Chen and his group politely declined Li Xin'er's invitation to stay for dinner and rushed back to the base as soon as they left the villa.
In the car, Lu Jin'an asked thoughtfully:
"Uncle, who exactly is Li Xin'er?"
They searched for Li Xin'er's information again and again, but couldn't find anything useful.
Her current mystique is baffling.
Lu Chen tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and said softly:
"Who she is is not important; what matters is her purpose."
At least for now, she hasn't done anything harmful to China or humanity, so she can still be a merchant who continues to trade.
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he asked, "Have you found Wang Pingzhong's contact?"
When this topic came up, Lu Jin'an's aura noticeably turned colder.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it's a member of the Lan family."
Even at times like these, some people still can't see things clearly and are thinking of fighting amongst themselves and wasting their own lives.
Lu Chen revealed a cold smile, "You've certainly stretched your reach far enough."
During the heavy snow, Assistant Wang tried to send a message out, but was caught red-handed by Lu Jin'an's men.
Even before Li Xin'er's intentional or unintentional reminders, Lu Chen had already become more wary of Assistant Wang.
Unexpectedly, they actually caught them red-handed. The Lan family is the Lu family's enemy within the Starfire Base.
Assistant Wang wanted to pass on information about Li Xin'er and the mutated beasts, but before he could even make contact with anyone outside, he was detained.
After interrogation, it was confirmed that the person was gone, and the news was intercepted.
However, both of them knew in their hearts that, given Li Xin'er's current momentum, it was only a matter of time before she became known to more people.
Inside the villa area, Li Xin'er saw the two off and happily took the crystal core into her space.
She still had the scattered crystal cores given to her by those who had awakened superpowers.
Li Xin'er planned to recharge all 10,000 crystal cores and exchange them for points.
In front of the black door of the supermarket on the second floor, Li Xin'er placed a box of crystal cores.
A mechanical voice quickly sounded, "Exchangeable crystal cores detected. Do you wish to exchange them for points?"
The original black wooden door panel now displays two options, yes and no, just like a computer screen.
Li Xin'er clicked "Yes".
Then, with a 'ding' sound, the crystal core disappeared, leaving only an empty box.
"Ten thousand level-one crystal cores can be exchanged for one hundred thousand points."
"Redeem successful. Current points."
Seeing that the recharged points had been credited to her account, Li Xin'er was about to turn around when another 'ding-dong' sounded, and the mechanical electronic voice rang out again.
"With accumulated points exceeding 100,000, the assistant has been unlocked."
Li Xin'er turned to look at the door panel and saw a pair of oval eyes appear on it.
These eyes are extremely perfunctory, looking like two zeros, 00.
Its eyes blinked rapidly, and although it didn't have a mouth, it uttered a childish, boyish voice.
"Exchange system, Xiao You is online to serve you."
Li Xin'er frowned slightly. Her Root Tower even had this thing?
Thinking of this, Li Xin'er blurted out,
"What the hell are you?"
Xiao You explained in a serious tone: "Xiao You is the exchange system, not a toy."
Li Xin'er's lips twitched. "Fine, you're no good."
"A redemption system? Just for redeeming points?"
"No, to be precise, I can exchange anything; simply put, it's bartering."
Li Xin'er's eyes flickered slightly, but she continued to ask calmly:
"Oh? Bartering? Then why can I only use points to exchange here?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the supermarket shelves behind her.
She can probably only buy these things with points, and apart from crystal cores, the points depend entirely on the quantity and variety of the goods she hoards, and the points are so few that they are negligible.
Little Yucatton.
Oh no, we almost got caught!
Then, her big eyes blinked.
"Special circumstances have been detected in the world. There is insufficient energy to maintain operation. We can only adopt the backup plan: crystal core exchange."
Xiao You speaks in a very official tone, but when he says it in his slightly childish, boyish voice, it falls short.
In any case, Li Xin'er didn't believe it, and she maintained an undecided attitude towards this newly appeared little thing.
Don't worry, the fox's tail will eventually be revealed.
Let's wait and see.

Shanghai Orphanage.
During the days that the snow was melting, Li Yiyuan had been making preparations. Staying in the orphanage was not a long-term solution, and he wanted to take the remaining people from the orphanage to the Haishi base.
He found a bus, modified it, leaving only the seats in the front and removing all the seats in the back.
Li Xin'er left behind a lot of supplies. The area under the car where luggage was stored, the inside of the car, were all crammed full, and even the roof of the car was tied with several large bags of things.
After tidying up and locking the orphanage gate, both adults and children had tears in their eyes.
With a heavy heart, I looked at my former home, but resolutely embarked on an unknown journey.
