Bai Xiaoxi, standing by, scratched his head and said, "I almost forgot about this fourth-level wind crystal core!" Then he chuckled, "Sister Li Fang, it seems I need your continued care before I reach the fourth level!"
But Li Fang hadn't reached out yet this time. Her advancement from primary to third level was all thanks to Bai Ling, and now... it had only been a few days? She had never imagined advancement could be so easy, and... how precious were crystal cores? Especially second- and third-level crystal cores, let alone fourth-level crystal cores?
Bai Ling gave it as she said without blinking an eye, but it was obvious that she valued the primary crystal core very much.
I've heard Bai Xiaoxi talk before about how they dealt with fourth- and fifth-level zombies. They really had a narrow escape from death. In other words, this crystal core was obtained at the cost of their lives. What qualifications does Li Fang have to take it?
The main reason why she took the third-level crystal core before was because she was the lowest level. If she didn't get promoted, she would definitely hold them back. Now she is still thinking about how to repay the great favor she owes Bai Ling.
Tears welled up in Li Fang's eyes. She shook her head and said firmly, "Bai Ling, I can't accept this!"
"After you're promoted, you'll be the main force. Do you think I'm giving it to you for free?" Bai Ling frowned. Regardless of whether they found Bai Shan or not, the stronger their team became, the better it would be for them in the future. Without a word, she threw the crystal core towards Li Fang.
Li Fang was so frightened that she hurriedly tried to pick it up. It felt as heavy as a piece of gold in her hand. Her throat was choked and she couldn't make a sound.
She also wanted to survive in the apocalypse, and she had to go out to kill zombies. How had she really helped Bai Ling? Tears finally flowed down her ordinary face.
Seeing this scene, apart from Li Zhenghao and Li Dongmei, everyone else also had a deep understanding. Li Jiaming walked over like an older brother and patted Li Fang on the shoulder, saying softly, "Hurry up and get promoted while we are cleaning up and eating."
"Bai Ling, I... If I, Li Fang, do anything to let you down in this life, please let me die without a burial place, be struck by lightning, or even have my soul shattered into ashes and die a miserable death." No one expected that Li Fang would say such a thing after wiping away her tears.
Upon hearing this, Li Dongmei quickly covered Li Fang's mouth. "What are you talking about, kid? What's wrong with saying sorry or not?" She then wiped Li Fang's tears. "I've watched you all grow up. How could I not know your character? We're even more of a family now. Besides, even though the Lingling Crystal Core wasn't easy to come by, since she gave it to you, it's a token of her appreciation."
How could Li Dongmei know that this crystal core was not easy to come by? She had seen everything that happened, and she believed that Bai Ling must have had her considerations when giving it to her.
"You're all good children. I'm old now, and I hope you can live in peace, health, and support each other in this broken world." Li Dongmei said, holding Bai Ling's hand. "Lingling is under a lot of pressure. If you can, I hope you can help bear some of it. Becoming stronger is the best way to do that."
Following Li Dongmei's words, everyone fell silent. They felt warmth in their hearts, but also had extremely complicated feelings towards Bai Ling.
In the end, the topic ended with Li Fang's promotion, which made everyone more determined to become stronger. And this time to become stronger was not for themselves, but for Bai Ling.
