Yu Wanling was still somewhat unwilling. She didn't need these things at all. On the contrary, she had put in a lot of effort to accumulate just a little bit of points.
She also wanted to exchange for a higher-level weapon, so she could protect herself in a critical situation.
"Why not? I haven't even used those things yet, can't you just recycle them?"
A few seconds later, the system spoke again decisively.
"This option is not available."
Yu Wanling was on the verge of tears. She persisted for a while, but the system still wouldn't budge, so she finally gave up.
Yu Wanling returned to her work, while Li Xin'er studied the system for a while longer, almost to the point of disassembling it completely.
It wasn't until Lu Jin'an knocked on the door and invited her to dinner that Li Xin'er reluctantly stopped.
Instead of eating in the cafeteria, they went to the dining room at Lu Zheng's house.
Although it was called a dining room, it actually looked like a private room in a restaurant, with a large round table. Besides Lu Zheng, there were quite a few people that Li Xin'er had never met before.
When Lu Jin'an brought Li Xin'er in, Lu Zheng showed her great respect by standing up to greet her.
"The conditions are limited, Ms. Li, please don't mind."
Li Xin'er smiled slightly and nodded politely in greeting.
"The base commander is joking."
Lu Zhengdu stood up, and the others naturally had no reason to remain seated. They all followed suit and greeted Li Xin'er.
There were nine people, all around the same age as Lu Zheng. Six of them were wearing neat military uniforms, and two were wearing black suits.
The way they looked at Li Xin'er was too intense and passionate. Li Xin'er immediately understood that these people must be on Lu Zheng's side, and that they must have learned about her from Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng introduced everyone present to Li Xin'er one by one.
"This is Minister Wang, who is in charge of the base's logistics and supplies."
"This is someone from our base's Special Abilities Department..."
"This is one of my subordinates who is in charge of researching the zombie virus..."
He thought it was just a meal to let his followers know that he, Li Xin'er, existed.
Only after Lu Zheng spoke did Li Xin'er realize that things seemed to be more complicated than they appeared.
She's just an outsider!
Is this... how could she possibly know?
The doctor researching the zombie virus had his eyes light up when he shook hands with Li Xin'er.
"Miss Li, please guide me in the future."
Li Xin'er's lips twitched. Was this some kind of forced sale, a case of coercion?
She politely declined, saying, "I'm just a businesswoman, and I'm afraid I can't help with the professional knowledge required for doctoral research."
Seeing this, the other party wisely refrained from further embarrassment and instead smiled, saying:
"Not at all, Miss Li is too modest."
The others joined in the conversation. The group consisted mostly of men in their forties and fifties. Although Li Xin'er's mental age was tens of thousands of years, her physique was still that of a young person. Sitting together, she seemed somewhat out of place, yet their conversation was surprisingly harmonious. In fact, it was as if Li Xin'er looked older than the others…
The conversation during dinner was casual and relaxed, continuing until the end of the meal and the rest period.
Lu Zheng finally got down to business.
"Miss Li, could you please confirm the exact time regarding the extreme heat?"
At this point, the room fell even quieter as everyone waited for her answer.
"Knowing that the base chief and President Lu are from the same family, and since I have already received President Lu's information fee, I will definitely tell you everything I know about this matter without reservation."
"Just like the last blizzard and extreme cold, this time the extreme heat is because the zombies have all reached level two. I can't be sure of the exact time, but I can guess it will be in May or June. To be on the safe side, the base commander can prepare according to May."
The reason she was certain the natural disaster would continue was not only because of the original book's setting, but also because she had studied a lot of zombies during the last blizzard and figured out the upgrade patterns.
The research fellow sighed and said in a low voice:
"Alas, things had just started to ease, and now another major disaster is looming. How can humanity possibly survive this?"
Lu Zhengze was much calmer, saying, "At least we still have time to prepare."
He looked at Li Xin'er and sincerely thanked her.
"Thank you, Ms. Li, for providing us with such important information. Also..."
Lu Zheng paused here, hesitating.
Li Xin'er raised her hand. "Base Commander, just say what you have to say."
Lu Zheng then continued, "Could I pass this message on to other countries?"
He wasn't sure what Li Xin'er's intentions were in releasing this information.
Before he spoke, Li Xin'er had many guesses, such as about supplies, but she didn't expect it to be this.
She was quite surprised, but still answered Lu Zheng's question directly.
"I've sold you the information; how you handle it is your business. I won't interfere."
Lu Zheng nodded in satisfaction upon receiving the answer, "As long as you agree, that's fine."
In the face of great disasters, there are no borders. He does not believe that leaving only the Chinese people on this planet would be a good way out.
Li Xin'er didn't ask how they conveyed the message or how they convinced people in other countries.
She still wants to keep things simple and be a businesswoman who pays money on delivery!
Just as Li Xin'er was thinking this, Lu Zheng spoke up.
"I wonder if we'll be able to buy some supplies from you this time?"
They valued the benefits Li Xin'er could currently bring them more than her mysterious identity.
Just as Lu Chen said before, as long as she hasn't done anything to harm China or humanity, there's no need for them to investigate her thoroughly.
Instead of focusing on this, they should concentrate their energy on overcoming the current difficulties.
Li Xin'er's answer was straightforward: of course she'd be willing to earn more.
