Fang Qingdai didn't hide anything and explained the distribution of points for the crystal cores, then said, "So now Xiao Mao only needs to add 4,167 points to the team."
Mao Ling immediately waved her hand: "How can that be? There's no reason for your whole team to bear the burden for him!"
"Whatever the amount, that's it. I can definitely come up with 10,000 points!"
Mao Ling pretended to transfer money to Fang Qingdai's bracelet, but Fang Qingdai refused.
"Let's wait until Xiao Mao is sober before we talk about it," Fang Qingdai said, blinking with a teasing look on her face.
Of course I'll accept Mao Ling's offer, since the waiver is five thousand, enough for the team to develop well in the early stages.
But since we're going to take on debt, it's only meaningful if the creditor signs the IOU in person. That way, it'll be more interesting to use the IOU to enslave Xiao Mao.
Mao Ling shook her head and chuckled: "You don't need to worry about his pride. That guy is shameless. Even if he signs an IOU, he'll still come to me to borrow money to cover it up."
“He didn’t have much money himself. He earned some points and immediately went to buy medicine and supplements for his mother.”
Fang Qingdai knew that Xiao Mao was poor. She could sense it from their daily interactions and guess where his money went.
We did consider that he had just accepted that his father might be the murderer of his mother, and that he would begin to resist the support of his family, causing him to leave his family and become penniless. Therefore, we decided to exempt him from the team's points.
Judging from Mao Ling's tone, the points seemed insignificant, so Fang Qingdai didn't refuse.
"It's alright, Aunt Mao. Let's wait until Xiao Mao is sober before we talk about it. He's an adult now, and he can handle this himself."
Mao Ling was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and tears welled up in her eyes again: "Yes, yes, little Mao is a grown-up now!"
Three hours later, Xiao Mao finally regained consciousness.
Upon waking up to the news that he was burdened with a debt of 10,000 points, Xiao Mao's excited expression instantly cracked.
"What's with that expression? We only charged you a friendly price. Otherwise, you yourself said that that level-six crystal core could sell for 12,000 or 13,000 after some processing!"
Xiao Mao clutched his stomach, looking miserable: "I ate 10,000 points like this, and I don't even know what it tastes like!"
He sighed for a while, but quickly cheered up again.
He bumped Huang Changming's shoulder, beaming with pride: "I'm a superhuman now too!"
"What level do you think my superpower certification will be? If I started at level five like my sister and sister, how awesome would that be!"
He was engrossed in his dream, and Huang Changming rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Fang Qingdai was also exhausted. Seeing him lively and energetic, she turned to Xuan Liu and said, "Can your friend help arrange a few rooms? We can stay at Outpost No. 4 to rest today and continue the desert cat hunting mission tomorrow."
Xuan Liu nodded: "I'll go find him."
After Xuan Liu left, Fang Qingdai looked at Mao Ling and said, "Aunt Mao, why don't you stay at Outpost No. 4 to rest today? You can go back to the Xuanwu Base at dawn tomorrow. It's not safe to travel at night."
The two team members escorting Mao Ling included a level three fire-type ability user who had exhausted his ability in order to erect a fire wall to isolate the rat swarm.
The other was a level 5 wind-type ability user who had already exhausted his abilities to barely save Mao Ling before Jing Yi and the others arrived, and held on until Jing Yi and the others came to their aid.
Mao Ling herself is a healing type with no combat ability. She just used up a lot of her superpowers helping Xiao Mao clean up the energy liquid. Now this team is not suitable to go on the road at all.
The dangers in the wilderness at night are far greater than during the day.
Although Mao Ling was a little worried, she knew that it was not the right time to return, so she nodded in agreement.
Seeing that she looked really worried, Fang Qingdai asked, "Is something the matter?"
Mao Ling glanced at Xiao Mao, who was still gloating around, and lowered her voice, saying, "I'm worried about my sister."
Fang Qingdai's eyes flickered; she knew what was going on.
With Xiao Mao and Mao Ling watching over her, and Mao Min only a broken shell of a body, Li Weidong didn't do anything. He simply kept Mao Min under house arrest under the pretext of recuperating, preventing her from moving around too much.
But now that Xiao Mao and Mao Ling have both left the base, there's no guarantee that Li Weidong won't find an opportunity to get rid of Mao Min, leaving no way to prove anything.
Once Mao Min is dead, no matter how many guesses Mao Ling may have, she will find no evidence.
Fang Qingdai glanced at Xiao Mao and sighed as well.
"Here's what we'll do: tomorrow morning, even if you haven't fully recovered, I'll have my friend escort you back to the Xuanwu Base."
"You should have tried to keep it a secret from Li Weidong when you came out. He might not be able to find out that you're not at the base so quickly. Even if he does, he might not act hastily before he knows when you'll return. You don't need to be too anxious."
Fang Qingdai actually felt that Li Weidong might not necessarily make a move.
She felt that Li Weidong's feelings for Mao Min were complicated. To say he loved her seemed to involve too much exploitation, while to say he didn't love her seemed to suggest that he was too indecisive.
If he really wanted Mao Min dead, he had plenty of opportunities, especially after Mao Min's maternal grandfather passed away and Mao Min lost her protector, yet Li Weidong still didn't kill her.
Therefore, Fang Qingdai felt that Li Weidong still had some feelings for Mao Min.
I just hope that my feelings can keep Li Weidong calm and prevent him from taking advantage of this opportunity.
Mao Ling nodded, "I understand."
Xuan Liu hadn't returned yet, so Fang Qingdai chatted a bit more: "What was the result of your discussion with Xiao Mao? Did he agree to you sending his mother away? If so, where do you plan to send her?"
Mao Ling shook her head and sighed: "He doesn't believe it. He says he wants to find out for himself."
Fang Qingdai nodded knowingly. It was understandable that Xiao Mao couldn't accept the information so quickly because it was too overwhelming.
“But my sister can’t wait any longer. I’ve already made a deal with Xiao Mao. I can only give him a month. After a month, whether he believes me or not, I will send him away.”
Mao Ling glanced at everyone, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I have been preparing for many years to send my sister away."
"I have prepared a safe place to stay in Linguan City!"
Fang Qingdai's eyes widened.
Linguan City?
Isn't that area full of quicksand and whirlpools, making it uninhabitable?
Jing Yi and the others had visited the place before, and Fang Qingdai had also been there herself, but they felt that the quicksand vortex was too dangerous, so they gave up on it.
Mao Ling has completely trusted Fang Qingdai after what happened with Xiao Mao today.
So she didn't hide anything and whispered, "I built an underground defense facility under Linguan City to avoid the intrusion of the quicksand vortex."
underground!
Fang Qingdai was somewhat shocked. Building a shelter underground in an abandoned city-state would require an immeasurable amount of manpower and resources.
It's fortunate that Mao Ling's father was once the base commander and must have left behind a lot of resources; otherwise, it would have been incredibly difficult for someone else to build it!
Fang Qingdai's eyes flickered, and she tentatively asked, "If you send Aunt Mao Min there, how will you take care of her afterward?"
