After they had eaten enough, everyone found a room and went to sleep.
Xiao Jin was alright; this level of injury was relatively easy for her. Cen Nian, however, despite using recovery items, had suffered damage to her health from the mutated spider.
It's normal to feel tired.
After entering the room, Xiao Jin looked around.
High-end guesthouses like these have cleaning staff who clean them regularly, so they're not very dirty inside.
There was a double bed, with nothing on it except for the mattress. Xiao Jin walked in and opened the wardrobe next to it. Sure enough, the four-piece bedding set was sealed in plastic.
It took Xiao Jin a few minutes to make the bed and then she noticed that there was a separate bathroom.
She opened the door, went inside, and turned on the shower head.
Hmm. Good, there's hot water.
Since that's the case, Xiao Jin doesn't mind taking a hot bath.
………………
The warm steam, like the ethereal mist rising from the morning fog, carried the warmth and humidity of the bathroom, playfully slipping out through the cracks in the tiles and permeating the entire room.
Outside the window, the moonlight was obscured by clouds, and inside, only the faint light from the bathroom doorway intertwined with the hazy steam to create a soft and secluded scene.
Xiao Jin put away the flashlight and walked out of the shower room.
She stood in front of the mirror by the washbasin, gently shook off the water droplets, dried herself off, and changed into a soft and comfortable silk nightgown.
The nightgown enveloped her like a cloud, revealing her graceful curves.
Xiao Jin's long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and unwiped water droplets slid slowly down her dark hair, shimmering with a crystal-clear light.
Then, she lightly climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged.
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Jin sent the crystal cores from the space falling onto the bedsheet, like dazzling gems, shining brightly.
These crystal cores were all that Xiao Jin had gained over the past three days.
There are a total of 216 Level 1 crystal cores, 50 Level 2 crystal cores, 4 Level 3 crystal cores, and 1 Level 4 crystal core.
In the past two days, Xiao Jin's harvest was rather meager, mostly consisting of low-level crystal cores.
Most of the high-level zombies and mutated animals were acquired today, especially the level 4 crystal core contributed by the mutated spider. Apart from that, Xiao Jin did not encounter any other high-level zombies or mutated animals!
At this moment, looking at the pile of crystal cores in front of him, even Xiao Jin couldn't help but feel excited.
She left some level 1 crystal cores as spares, and the rest were gathered into her palms by her long, strong hands.
Xiao Jin took a deep breath and closed her eyes, beginning to activate the dormant supernatural power within her body.
As she focused her will, an invisible force quietly spread out.
As if sensing a summons, the crystal cores beneath her palm began to tremble slightly, releasing wisps of energy as fine as spider silk.
These energies were slowly drawn into Xiao Jin's palms, meandering along her blood vessels until they penetrated deep into her body.
As time went by, those energy streams converged into one, eventually surging towards Xiao Jin's supernatural core.
Soon, the energy from the crystal core began to meticulously repair the cracks on it, and each infusion of energy made Xiao Jin's supernatural core shine even brighter.
About half an hour passed, and the room was so quiet that only Xiao Jin's even breathing could be heard.
Finally, after absorbing the last bit of energy, Xiao Jin slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with an unprecedented light, his joy overflowing.
"It really worked!"
Looking back, whether relying on the red maple fruit or slowly recovering her powers step by step, the process was extremely arduous.
In particular, compared with using crystal cores to repair and enhance superpowers, the latter is undoubtedly a faster and more efficient path.
After that attack with the crystal cores, the cracks on Xiao Jin's power core visibly healed considerably, especially the level 4 crystal core, which saved her from taking many detours.
How could she not be happy?
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Xiao Jin's mind.
Players only need to kill zombies to complete the mission. Zombie cores cannot be converted into points. So, can players exchange cores with other players?
Xiao Jin pondered for a moment.
This matter requires careful consideration, and the difficulty is obvious: how to find players and persuade them to trade their crystal cores to us.
Moreover, what would she have to offer in exchange?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin lay down on the bed, stretched out her body, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Xiao Jin was awakened by the sound of voices outside.
I glanced at the time; it was 8 a.m.
After Xiao Jin finished washing up, she saw Liu Xin and the others sitting at the dining table, where breakfast was already laid out.
Interestingly, Cen Nian was also there.
Liu Xin, who had been avoiding him like the plague yesterday, completely changed her attitude towards him, stuffing him with steamed buns and serving him porridge, her smile full of affection.
Cen Nian, on the other hand, practically buried her face in her clothes when faced with Liu Xin's enthusiasm.
"Hey, you're awake!" Seeing Xiao Jin come out, Duan Ziyue patted the chair: "I was thinking of calling you, but I don't need to now. Come and eat."
Xiao Jin nodded to Liu Xin and Duan Chenghong, then sat down next to Cen Nian.
Cen Nian obediently called out "brother".
After sitting down, Liu Xin said with a smile, "I couldn't sleep this morning, so Lao Duan and I took advantage of the fact that there weren't many people outside and brought some more things back from the car."
It was quite a coincidence that the elevator was powered on at 6 o'clock, which saved me a lot of effort. Also, Xiao Nian helped me carry things up and down the stairs.
"Quick, eat more, your injury has just healed." As she spoke, Liu Xin put another fried egg on Cen Nian's plate.
So that's how it is.
Cen Nian's cheeks flushed slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Duan Chenghong looked at Xiao Jin: "Coins can't be used in the safe zone; they use contribution points. Whether it's patrolling, building outer walls, planting crops, or going out to search for supplies..."
These can all earn a certain number of contribution points.
Xiao Jin knew what Duan Chenghong meant: "You're planning to join the patrol team?"
Duan Chenghong nodded in agreement.
“I’ve thought about it. I have to take care of your Aunt Liu, and Xiao Fan is still young. It’s definitely not good for the whole family to just sit around and do nothing. The patrol team gives the most contribution points, and they only recruit people with superpowers.”
"I want to sign up!" As a Level 2 ability user, it would be easy for Duan Chenghong to be selected.
"I'll go too." Duan Ziyue said, slapping her chopsticks as soon as Duan Chenghong finished speaking.
"Where are you going? Behave yourself. Can't the family keep you here?" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xin retorted with a straight face.
Duan Ziyue pouted: "I'm also a superhuman, I can support my family, why can't I!"
Duan Chenghong hesitated, but after being glared at by his wife, he could only slink his head down.
That's true. My wife, Yue, is still a minor, and the patrol team is a place where they have to deal with zombies, so it's normal for her to be worried.
