"Come to me, my guests. I only want two first-level crystal cores!"
At the outermost edge of the crowd, a man about 1.6 meters tall leaned against the wall alone. He didn't rush over like the others, but just looked at them quietly...
Lu Nange walked straight up to him and asked, "Your name is Yangyang?"
The man was slightly surprised: "Do you know me?"
Lu Nange lowered his head slightly to look at him: "A sister named Guan Chun recommended me to come to you."
Yang Yang nodded and said, "The guide fee is one level one crystal core. It can't be any cheaper."
Lu Nange took out a first-level crystal core and handed it to Yangyang: "Okay, here you go."
Yangyang stuffed the crystal core into his pocket and asked, "Which district are you renting in?"
Lu Nange: "Area C."
Yangyang nodded: "Guest, please follow me."
Lu Nange and his men followed Yang Yang into the base...
Wen Qing: "Yangyang, how old are you?"
Yang Yang: "Ma'am, I'm thirteen years old... Don't worry, I'm familiar with the base and won't lead you astray."
Lu Xici: "Do you know the situation at the base? We just arrived and want to get a general idea of the situation."
Yangyang kept walking and turned his head to the side: "Okay, but...it costs money."
Lu Nange: "Two first-level crystal cores."
Yangyang stopped: "Two???"
Lu Beiye: "Yeah...you heard right, my sister said that these are two first-level crystal cores."
Yangyang: "Sure! But you have to pay first..."
Lu Nange took out two first-level crystal cores from his bag and handed them to Yangyang.
Yangyang took the crystal core, his eyes lit up, then he cleared his throat and began to introduce it seriously while leading the way.
"Look at those containers, abandoned train cars, broken tents, and shacks made of planks by the wall—that's Area E. The people living there are all low-level psychics, or ordinary people with no psychics at all... They just arrived at the base and have no crystal cores or supplies, so they're all crammed in there."
Chi Yanzhou: "Your base doesn't have a common currency?"
Yangyang shook his head. "We all trade with crystal cores and supplies... Just ahead is Area D. Area D is a little better. The residents are all people with some income and special abilities, or their families. Although it's not crowded, at least it's not drafty."
"Area C is just like yours," he paused, a hint of envy in his tone, "only those with third-level abilities or their families can live there. It has independent water and electricity, and even hot water... As for Areas B and A... I've never been in them."
Yangyang shook his head. "I heard Area B is full of the base's scientific researchers and management, so it's very strictly guarded. Area A is even worse... The base commander and the captains of the special ability teams all live there, so it's not a place we can get close to. Anyway, I heard from the elders in our base that there's no shortage of food and drink in Areas B and A..."
Lu Nange and his companions listened silently, but they all thought to themselves: [The zoning plan is similar to that of Yanxin… but the environment and facilities in Yanxin are obviously more than a level higher than those of the Mu family base.]
Yang Yang stopped and turned to Lu Nange and the others, saying, "Guests... I see you only have one bag, so I guess you can't carry much. That's the trading market. If you need to buy something or exchange supplies, you can go there."
As he spoke, he pointed to a tall, wire-mesh gate not far away. A rusty sign hung on it, faintly visible: "Danyi Market."
