"Lin Yu."
Pei Yan called out to the figure in front of him.
Not long after entering the villa, Lin Yu heard a cold voice. He turned around and smiled, "Are you back?"
Pei Yan's expression was flawless at this moment, and his mood became much better after he saw the faint smile on Lin Yu's lips.
He strode forward and slowly opened his palm, in which lay quietly a fiery red crystal core.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then reacted and asked in surprise, "Second-level Fire Crystal Core?"
"Well, I encountered a second-level zombie eagle while clearing out zombies."
Perhaps because he hadn't slept all night, Pei Yan's voice sounded a little low.
He said it lightly, but Lin Yu knew clearly how dangerous it was. What's more, zombie eagles can fly and are many times harder to kill than other zombie animals on land.
He truly is the man who built the Dawn Base.
Out of politeness, Lin Yu asked, "Are you okay?"
Pei Yanjun's face turned slightly red. Was she concerned about whether he was injured?
Although Pei Yan knew that Lin Yu was probably just being polite in showing concern, it still made him feel much better.
He tried to answer in a calm tone: "I'm not hurt, thank you for your concern."
Lin Yu nodded and said hesitantly: "Then what are you doing...?"
Pei Yan's ears were tinged with a hint of red, but it was not visible on his face. He coughed lightly and handed her a backpack filled with first-level attributeless crystal cores.
"This second-level fire crystal core and the crystal cores in the backpack will be used as accommodation fees for Linlang and me in the future."
It's impossible to say that I'm not moved.
After all, Lin Yu really needs the crystal core.
In particular, the main task of establishing a base requires a large number of crystal cores. Not only do you need crystal cores to establish safe zone zoning, but after the base is established, you can't let the survivors who come to the base live in the open air. You have to provide them with a place to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, and this is the most important thing.
During these few days, Lin Yu had been exchanging food for crystal cores with the survivors outside the villa, and he had accumulated more than 200 first-level crystal cores, but this was far from enough.
In addition to the crystal cores consumed in building the base, expanding the farmland also requires a lot of crystal cores, so she really had no way to refuse.
Lin Yu was afraid that he didn't know the value of the second-level fire crystal core, so he specially explained it to Pei Yan:
"Are you sure you want to give me the second-level fire crystal core? I think you may not understand its value. If a fire-awakened psychic absorbs the energy in this crystal core, their psychic power level will be instantly upgraded to the second level."
(Crystal Core Ratio: First-order Superpower = 10 First-order Common, Second-order Superpower = 10 Second-order Common, Third-order Superpower = 10 Third-order Common, and so on... Second-order Common = 100 First-order Common, Third-order Common = 100 Second-order Common = First-order Common, and so on.)
Pei Yan looked at Lin Yu earnestly explaining to him the value of the second-level fire crystal core, and forced himself to suppress the desire to rub her head.
Of course, he knew the value of a second-level fire crystal core.
Even if there was another second-level fire ability user, what would it matter? All of this was far less important than her.
Even if the crystal core in Pei Yan's hand at this moment is a thunder crystal core, as long as Lin Yu needs it, he will not hesitate at all.
Only Pei Yan himself knew how intense the emotions surging in his heart were at that moment. Not wanting her to distance herself from him because of this, he suppressed all his emotions in his heart and said in a calm tone: "I know, it's okay, I'll give it all to you."
Lin Yu felt as if he had punched cotton. After a moment of silence, he stopped hesitating and said decisively:
"Okay, since you know the value of a second-level fire crystal core, I won't be polite to you."
She took the second-order fire crystal core and the backpack from Pei Yan and weighed them carefully. "Probably for the next six months, you and Linlang won't have to pay for accommodation anymore."
Pei Yan's pupils were a little dilated, and he didn't hear clearly what Lin Yu said afterwards. He just felt as if there was fire burning where her fingertips touched.
This was the scene Pei Linlang saw when she came in with a sullen face.
Sister Lin Yu was smiling and talking to her brother, but he was just staring blankly with his head down... in a daze?!
Pei Linlang quickly forgot the unpleasantness just now. She felt really disappointed. Pei Yan really didn't know how to cherish the opportunity...
What is he daydreaming about?
Cheng Xiangbei was strengthening the big truck in the yard at this moment. He was not blind, so how could he not notice Lin Yu and Pei Yan? However, he did not go over to be annoying. It seemed that he was strengthening the big truck, but in fact, his ears had been quietly perked up.
Just as he was still thinking about how to remind Pei Linlang without attracting attention, she had already tiptoed and quietly left from the other side.
Although Pei Linlang was very disappointed with Lin Yu, she was reluctant to ruin the atmosphere between them and planned to tell Lin Yu about Qinling later.
Lin Yu, who had just received a batch of crystal cores, was in a very good mood. A smile unconsciously appeared between his eyebrows. "Want to have breakfast?"
Pei Yan's gaze passed over her head calmly. Although he tried his best to suppress it, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. She really liked the crystal core.
She must not know that she looks cute with her eyes sparkling.
Pei Yan completely forgot the unpleasantness Liu Ran had brought him and nodded in agreement: "I want to eat."
Little did he know that what Pei Yan understood was completely different from what Lin Yu expressed.
She was simply happy because the tenant, let's call him a tenant, had paid a sum of accommodation fees, so she was very considerate and prepared several types of breakfast for Pei Yan to choose from.
There are bread, milk, biscuits, century egg and lean meat porridge, seafood and mushroom porridge and so on.
As for porridge and the like, they are all instant foods. You can just add boiling water and wait for a while before eating.
After telling him to take whatever he wanted to eat, Lin Yu carried his backpack and went to the side to count the crystal cores.
Pei Yan was in a good mood as she looked at the dazzling array of breakfast. The crystal core was indeed the thing that made her happiest.
He casually tore open a bag of bread and began to eat it slowly.
Lin Yu had already opened the system panel and was checking the progress of the task. Unfortunately, the progress of side quest 10 was still shown as 0.
Whether it was the crystal cores she exchanged for food with other survivors, or the crystal cores Pei Yan used to pay for accommodation, they would not be counted in the mission progress.
It seems that only the zombies she killed personally can be counted towards the mission progress...
