Chapter 85 85. Selfishness
Yu Shenwei's brain was so troubled that it even went blank for a moment.
But in this blank moment, she blinked three times almost subconsciously and involuntarily.
The girl's clear laughter emerged from her ears, carrying an irresistible temptation.
"Okay, then our cooperation is officially concluded. Tomorrow, I will take you back there and take back what belongs to you."
"That's right."
The girl suddenly changed her tone. "Although I think you are indeed the most loyal believer I have ever met, and I want to help you because I feel sorry for you, am I mistaken?"
"Actually, your loyalty to... isn't that high?"
She seemed to be just saying it casually, but it was like thunder in Yu Shenwei's ears.
She shook her head in panic. It felt like she was using a lot of strength, but it only produced a weak shake of her head.
She wanted to say, no, she was absolutely loyal to him, she had absolutely no hesitation, Xu Zhi was not wrong.
But, she couldn't say it.
It was because she couldn't speak, and also because she was so flustered and hurriedly denying it as if she was trying to hide something.
"Okay, I believe you."
Xu Zhi patted her arm soothingly, but Yu Shenwei felt a little guilty under this comfort. She didn't know where this feeling came from, because she was obviously very loyal to him.
Yu Shenwei suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She felt that she could not think about it anymore. If she continued to think about it, something that had already been established might be shattered. It would be better to give up thinking about it!
His head was still dizzy, and the shape of a moth flashed before his eyes from time to time. Yu Shenwei simply closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Seeing that she looked like she was escaping, which was shameful but useful, Xu Zhi was not angry, but smiled meaningfully instead.
If you want someone to betray you, you naturally have to encourage her selfishness first.
Yu Shenwei was too selfless before. It seemed that with the awakening of her identity as a "saint", her self-awareness also became that of a true "saint", so even though she was treated cruelly, she still did not have any thoughts of wavering.
But how is that possible?
It's just that her original self-awareness has been completely suppressed. What Xu Zhi is doing now is to awaken the part of her that was originally a "human".
And now, Yu Shenwei's behavior also shows that she is indeed wavering.
Xu Zhi was very satisfied with this, mainly because she was satisfied with her own plan.
"Could it be that I am also a genius in healing people's hearts?"
Xu Zhi was in a good mood and prepared to catch a believer to make a set of vocal organs for Yu Shenwei. After all, she might need to say something when she returned to the deacon. He casually took out a [Moth] basic core and fed it to the black cat. Not long after the black cat took the core from her palm and ate it, the cat fell asleep defenselessly in front of Xu Zhi for the first time.
Xu Zhi didn't think her relationship with it had suddenly progressed. She picked up the game console with a hint of resentment: "Is it finally upgraded?"
I looked at the game screen and saw that it was indeed being upgraded.
"After eating it, I must have five cores. Only then can I upgrade."
This appetite is a bit too big!
She didn't even dare to imagine how much resources this black cat would consume after breaking through level 20!
【Don't worry, this is just the beginning. 】
Well, it would have been fine if the narration hadn’t said anything. The more it talked, the more irritated Xu Zhi felt.
"No, I'm still too poor." The girl fell into deep worry. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was a wise move for her to set up a residential area early to prepare for the profit.
Nowadays, the thousands of cores earned every week are basic cores. After the clansmen have broken through level 20, the demand for basic cores has decreased. What is needed more are high-level attribute cores. However, the overall strength of the extraordinary people in Yuncheng is not enough for them to hunt too many high-level cores.
Even though nearly three months have passed, many extraordinary people have been upgraded, and some have even mastered extraordinary abilities that can be used in active combat, but only a small number of skilled teams dare to hunt those high-level mutant animals.
However, even if they hunted high-level attribute cores, they would not hand them over. Xu Zhi thought about it and decided to open an official trading point in the residential area after returning. It would be set up at the neighborhood committee, with Zhong Lingfan in charge and Shen Jinwen supervising. As for the content of the transaction, this would need to be discussed with Zhong Lingfan after returning.
However, Xu Zhi plans to open a unilateral core exchange channel, where others can use high-level cores to exchange for low-level cores with her, and the quantity is determined by the quality and attributes of the high-level cores.
This is not a whimsical business. For ordinary transcendents at this stage, the effect of a high-level attribute core is often not as great as that of a dozen low-level basic cores. What's more, they may not hunt down the core that matches their own attributes.
Furthermore, those who can currently hunt high-level cores all have teams. With one core and several people in the team, how can they divide it?
She was clearly helping them solve the problem of uneven distribution.
The core left in the residential area for exchange must be given to Shen Jinwen. At present, she is the one Xu Zhi trusts relatively. With Xu Zhi's help, Shen Jinwen's personal strength is also among the top echelons in the residential area. Of course, Xu Zhi is an exception.
In addition, Zhong Lingfan mentioned in the letter that many spontaneous transactions have occurred among residents in the residential area, including but not limited to several people with the [Casting] attribute who are originally related to the manufacturing industry. They opened a shop and specialized in making weapons with the limb materials of mutant animals for payment. However, the weapons that can be made are currently limited and the quality is quite random.
The residential area also has places like the mission hall and the team hall. Some people with very strong auxiliary abilities, such as the rare [Heart] attribute, will "rent" themselves for a fee. To ensure safety, a contract can be signed under the witness of the administrator, and one party will be punished if they breach the contract.
The administrator can take a cut from it.
After reading it, Xu Zhi called him a profiteer. How could she not have thought of this trick!
But Zhong Lingfan was not nostalgic for the cores she had obtained. She used almost all the ones she did not need to issue tasks, and most of them were tasks for building residential areas.
Xu Zhi felt very relieved when she saw this. As expected, her vision was very accurate.
She also asked Zhong Lingfan why she was so "dedicated", and Zhong Lingfan's answer was very truthful. She was not doing her best for Xu Zhi, but was doing her best to allow more people to survive in Yuncheng.
When killing some extraordinary people who were causing trouble in residential areas, Zhong Lingfan never showed mercy or hesitation, and could even be described as cruel. Sometimes, Xu Zhi felt that she had reached a level of rationality that ordinary people could not reach, but Xu Zhi believed that she was not indifferent.
Xu Zhi even thought that her emotions were superior to her rationality. Her emotions made her want more people to survive in Yuncheng, so rationality became a tool to achieve this goal.
She is not loyal to Xu Zhi, but to the lives of the humans still living in Yuncheng. When Xu Zhi is no longer the one who can dominate and decide the fate of these lives, she will certainly no longer obey Xu Zhi, but this is not a betrayal, because she has never been loyal to Xu Zhi.
