Chapter 212 How many crystal cores do you have? What resources do you want to exchange them for?
Wei Tuling actually knew very little about Lin Muyan's secrets, especially her spatial ability, which was completely unknown to anyone.
All they knew was that in the future, survival supplies would only become more and more expensive, and they would even have to risk their lives to fight for them.
On the contrary, there will be no shortage of crystal cores as long as there are zombies and mutated beasts.
Moreover, the way to survive in the future will inevitably be: hunting zombie mutated beasts, obtaining crystal cores, and exchanging them for resources.
He didn't understand why Lin Muyan was going against the grain; if they wanted crystal cores, they could team up to hunt them.
Exchanging precious resources for crystal cores is clearly putting the cart before the horse.
Lin Muyan naturally knew what Wei Tuling was worried about, but she couldn't reveal her spatial abilities to him, so she could only tell him:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I have plenty of supplies, so you don't need to worry about that. Just trust me. Spread the word for me: anyone with crystal cores can come to me anytime to exchange them for supplies."
"I will leave a small exchange window on the back door of my house. This is a list of supplies that can be exchanged. Please help spread the word."
After saying that, Lin Muyan handed the pre-printed list of supplies to Wei Tuling.
The list contains a wide variety of supplies, from food to clothing, and is very detailed.
"So many things, plus medicine, can we exchange them? Do you have enough medicine that you've stockpiled yourself?"
Lin Muyan nodded: "Don't worry, I really don't need it, just do as I say."
"I have to go now. Is there anything else you need? I'll get it for you so I don't have to make another trip."
Wei Turing thought for a moment, then, without refusing, said directly:
"Well, my grandpa's been craving good tea, and all the tea from his family back home has run out..."
Lin Muyan waved her hand: "No problem, is there any more?"
Wei Tuling shook his head, not daring to ask for more, lest Lin Muyan say that his family was too troublesome and that she would not include them in her activities anymore.
After leaving behind a few boxes of tea leaves and old tea cakes, Lin Muyan returned to the safe house.
She cleaned up the small side window in the backyard that was right by the road, and had her father extend a wooden plank on the outside, making it convenient for others to come and exchange goods.
However, the window is not very large, which also prevents others from peeking inside.
After doing all that, Lin Jianbin couldn't help but ask the question.
"Yan Yan, what are you doing?"
Lin Muyan did not hide anything:
"I plan to exchange resources with others, letting them trade crystal cores for resources from me."
Lin's father was taken aback. Crystal cores for supplies?
He had already come into contact with crystal nuclei.
Since awakening his ability to control his body temperature, and after his daughter gave him some crystal cores to absorb, he learned that awakened individuals need to absorb crystal cores to increase their strength.
Crystal cores can exist in the skulls of zombies and mutated beasts, but not all zombies and mutated beasts will condense crystal cores; it's a matter of probability.
Lin's father didn't know as much about the apocalypse as the young man, but Lin Xiao had already explained it to him. Generally, in the apocalypse, living supplies would become extremely precious, and those crystal cores might be like currency before the apocalypse.
You can use crystal cores to buy daily necessities, and vice versa, but the items are not necessarily equivalent.
The same crystal cores might only be exchanged for a little bit of resources, but a little bit of resources can be exchanged for a lot of crystal cores!
My daughter wants to exchange more valuable daily necessities for crystal cores. Is she planning to improve her strength?
Lin Jianbin only thought for a moment, then stopped asking about Lin Muyan's decision.
He unconditionally supports whatever Yan Yan does.
Lin Muyan was surprised by Wei Tuling's efficiency; within two hours, someone came to their door.
The group consisted of several unfamiliar people who seemed to be a family, likely residing on the other side of the hillside villa area.
The entire hillside villa is built around the mountain, with residences at the foot, halfway up, and on the mountain, all far apart, so it's impossible for Lin Muyan to have seen everyone.
Just from the fact that these people came by car, Lin Muyan knew that this family had some ability and intelligence.
It's quite remarkable that the car and gasoline have survived to this day.
"Are you Miss Lin?"
Through the small window, a young woman in the family spoke up and asked Lin Muyan a question.
Among the others, an elderly man was supporting himself with a cane, and a middle-aged couple were each holding a young child.
Lin Muyan nodded and got straight to the point: "Here to exchange supplies? How many crystal cores do you have? What do you want to exchange?"
The girl in the lead was about the same age as Lin Muyan. She looked embarrassed and awkward when she heard this. After exchanging glances with her family, she had no choice but to speak up.
"We...we don't have any crystal cores, but I can try to get some. I'd like to ask you for some medicine on credit, is that alright?"
Lin Muyan's expression remained unchanged; she had actually guessed it.
This family looks frail and weak, but to obtain the crystal cores, they have to kill zombies and even mutated beasts.
None of them seemed capable of obtaining the crystal core.
His gaze fell on the two teenagers, whose faces were pale; they were indeed ill.
Lin Muyan neither agreed nor refused, but asked:
"What medicine? I might not have it."
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up with joy, and he quickly placed the empty medicine box on the wooden board in front of the window.
Lin Muyan glanced at it and probed the space with her spiritual power. Sure enough, there were some on the shelf where the medicines were piled up.
Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the wooden board, each tap making the family outside more tense.
Just then, several people knelt down before Lin Muyan, and the middle-aged couple's eyes were already red.
Lin Muyan quickly stopped.
"Fine, I'll give you two boxes. Take the medicine and leave quickly. Don't tell anyone about this, lest everyone try to use my sympathy to blackmail me. Consider this my act of kindness."
Lin Muyan took out two boxes of medicine and handed them over, then hurriedly closed the window.
The family took the medicine and drove away immediately without stopping. They knew this was a bit like moral blackmail and didn't dare linger to attract attention or cause trouble for Lin Muyan.
After the car drove away, the middle-aged woman holding the child was already in tears.
"Although she didn't accept our IOU, we must remember to repay this kindness once we have the crystal cores."
The young girl nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I remember everything. She saved my younger siblings' lives. Now that I've awakened my special abilities, I'll definitely be able to obtain crystal cores in the future to repay her kindness..."
Lin Muyan waited until she could no longer hear the car driving before opening the window again.
She wasn't really overflowing with sympathy just now; she just realized that the girl who had spoken to her must have also awakened her supernatural abilities.
She also sensed a hint of supernatural power in the two sick children.
The family consists of six people, three of whom have awakened supernatural abilities. They are all young people with promising futures.
She was also thinking of helping out because she valued talent.
Those two boxes of medicine will expire in three years anyway, so it's better to give them to the two children.
