At first, there were only one or two people at the door of Yue Tonghai's house, but later more and more people gathered around.
He was the one who opened the door. He tried to get rid of the girl several times but she wouldn't leave. Yue Tonghai was not a popular person. He had thought that the girl would come to his house, but he couldn't be alone with her in a room, especially since there was no one else at home.
Even if it was just for the girl's reputation, the door had to be opened wide and anything could be said openly. Who would have thought so many people would come to join in the fun?
Xie Purou raised her hand, indicating to him that it was okay and there was no need to chase him away.
"It's actually nothing big for me to come here..."
Changing the subject: "Did Xiwen tell you about my time at the Le'an base?"
"Yes." Yue Tonghai frowned, not understanding why she suddenly asked this. Thinking of something bad, he quickly got up from the small stool, his face flushed with anxiety: "Did something happen in their base?"
Xie Purou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little relieved. It would be easier to handle now, and it would save her a lot of trouble. "No, I'm talking about the Le'an base being under my jurisdiction."
Yue Tonghai picked up the stool that he had pushed aside in his excitement: "I know, I know, Xiwen told me everything."
There was a hint of gloom in his voice: "Le'an Base has finally come to a happy end after all the hardships. When Xiwen talked about the scene of being invaded by mutant spiders, I felt uncomfortable just listening to it."
Yue Tonghai knew it was inappropriate to ask this question, but he was eager to know: "Has their base made preparations for the disaster?"
Xie Purou smiled brightly: "They will be safe."
Yue Tonghai pursed his lips tightly, as if thinking deeply. After a long while, he said, "That's good, that's good. As long as you're safe, that's good."
The courtesy was shown and all the groundwork was laid.
Xie Pu Rou got straight to the point: "I came here to say that I also lit up our Flame Base. If you are willing, I will build the Flame Base like Le'an, and I will do my best to bring everyone to safety."
She smiled faintly, and Yue Tonghai seemed to see the light shining in her. Looking at the girl in front of him, who was younger than his own daughter, Yue Tonghai felt that looking at her was like seeing the peace and prosperity of the country.
When Yue Tonghai heard Xie Purou's words, his mouth and eyes opened wide. He couldn't believe what he heard, and his face was full of disbelief and joy.
Then, tears glistened in his eyes, and excited emotions surged into his heart like a torrent, making him tremble uncontrollably.
"Are you... telling the truth? Our base was also lit up?"
"Yes." Xie Purou understood his excitement and opened and closed her mouth to give him the answer he wanted.
At this moment, Yue Tonghai felt infinite hope and gratitude. He knew that the future of the Flame Base would be bright.
Yue Tonghai could no longer remain calm: "I'll take you to get the crystal core in a moment. If you need anything else, just let me know!"
The crowd outside the door who were watching the show openly: "!!!"
"Is our base going to be taken over by the store owner?"
"Then we can have something delicious to eat?"
"I heard from people who have been to the B&B and taken the subway to the Le'an base that the Le'an base is developing very well now and has taken over the nearby bases."
"Where did this rumor come from? Is it accurate?"
"What gossip? It's from my aunt's colleague's friend's second cousin's distant relative's home! The information is accurate and reliable! I also heard that it's about to develop into a small city. Could our base also have internet access?!"
"Rumor has it: the people over there are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks every day now."
"Do we need to hear this through the grapevine? Now that the shop has been taken over, isn't it normal for them to enjoy a good meal?"
"Rumor: There are mobile phones over there!"
"This is pure rumor! I don't believe it anyway! If the B&B had cell phones for sale, would our base commander not buy them back?"
Before I could verify the authenticity of the rumor, another person said, "I have a rumor too!"
"There's an amusement park open over there! I heard they have water games, and the prices are discounted!"
"That's definitely a rumor. It's raining so hard outside, why don't you just go outside and step in the puddles? There's no way a water park can be open."
The man didn't say anything too definite, but said uncertainly, "It doesn't seem impossible... The owner is still inside!"
Xie Pu Rou listened to every word of the discussions around her, with a slight smile on her lips.
Everyone in this building works at the base. Even if they have crystal cores, they don't have time to go to the B&B. All they hear are gossip.
"Shall we go get the crystal core now? The warehouse where the crystal core is stored is not far from here."
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper?"
Yue Tonghai called out to Xie Pu Rou a few times to bring her back to her senses while she was eavesdropping.
"Ahem, I was just...thinking about something else." Xie Pu Rou stood up. "Let's go now. If nothing goes wrong, I'll get the crystal core and finish the building tonight. Then we can move the residents in."
When Yue Tonghai heard her words, he really felt relieved.
It was windy and rainy outside, but she was there, so she just took Yue Tonghai with her. As long as he got closer to her and walked into the range of her protective shield, there would not be much danger.
Danger will automatically bypass her, and any danger will also bypass those standing next to her.
The two men were preoccupied with their own affairs and walked very quickly. As Yue Tonghai said, the place was not far away, and they arrived in less than ten minutes.
"This is the warehouse." Yue Tonghai stopped at a hidden door, opened it and let the two in.
"Here are all the crystal cores in our base."
