"Hmm?" Ruan Ning looked at the woman suspiciously and asked, "Are you talking about this suitcase?"

The woman shook her head and said, "I want to buy the blue crystal you just took. If you are willing to give it up, I am willing to pay the price of a bag of cookies for it."

A pack of cookies?

If Ruan Ning was just guessing at the beginning, she was now almost certain that the woman in front of her, who was only a few years older than her, probably already knew the use of the crystal core, so she was willing to pay a high price to buy it back from her.

Otherwise, only those who have too much food to spend would be willing to buy a "blue crystal" the size of a fingernail that seems completely useless.

However, Ruan Ning was not the kind of person who didn't know the value of things. He certainly would not treat this crystal core as an ordinary crystal and happily sold it with a bag of biscuits.

If you really count it, she spent at least two packs of instant noodles to buy this...

"I'm afraid I can't sell you that," she refused.

Hearing her words, Cabbage frowned, then quickly recovered and continued as if nothing had happened, "Do you think the price is not right? I really like this color of crystal and I really want to buy it. If you sell it to me, I can give you another pack of cookies."

"... Actually, the blue crystal is not worth the price now." Since this person wanted to play dumb, Ruan Ning was willing to play along with her. "If you buy it, you can't even use half a pack, or even half a cookie."

Gan Lan thought she was tempted, but felt the price was too high. She was worried that she was playing a trick on him, so she said, "Don't worry, I understand the principle of money and goods. Now that I've bought it, I won't go back on my word."

Ruan Ning was wearing a mask, so her facial expression couldn't be seen clearly, but her voice was soft and sounded very comfortable. "Miss, I think you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. I don't have the habit of taking advantage of others. Besides, I also like this blue crystal, so I'm afraid I can't give it to you. If you really like crystals, maybe you can look at other stalls and maybe you can find a better one."

Seeing that this person showed no sign of wanting to sell, Gan Lan felt upset and wished she could have come to the market earlier.

Unfortunately, I was a step too late and this person had already bought the crystal core.

This crystal core is really important to cabbage.

Very few first-level zombies have awakened superpowers, so the crystal cores in most zombies' heads are colorless and transparent. This kind of deep blue crystal core is extremely rare.

She is an ice-type psychic. If she can obtain this deep blue crystal core, her abilities will be taken to the next level, and she will be able to release more ice cones at one time.

But all this can only be achieved if she can successfully obtain the crystal core that corresponds to her own superpowers.

Kale thought it would be easy to buy the things, but she didn't expect that even after she was willing to pay two packs of biscuits, the man still refused to sell anything to her.

Could it be that... this person also knows the function of the crystal core? ?

Gan Lan was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to advance. Thinking that this person might know the significance of the crystal core, she no longer concealed her concern for the crystal core and said in a low voice, "I know you spent two packs of instant noodles to buy this suitcase and the crystal core. I can spend two more packs of instant noodles to buy them back from you, and I only want the crystal core. I don't want your suitcase."

So much?

It seems that the woman in front of me should be an ice-type mutant.

After all, other psychics have no use for this deep blue crystal core, and even if they knew its value, they would not spend so much food to buy it.

Should I sell it to her?

In fact, Ruan Ning, an ordinary person, has little use for this ice crystal core. Using a first-level crystal core to exchange for four packs of instant noodles, sounds like a good deal?

But before Ruan Ning could think it through, three more people came over from the side.

It looks like he is someone the woman next to him knows.

"Sister Gan Lan, what are you doing here? We've been looking for you there for a long time and haven't seen you since." A girl with a ponytail walked up to them, followed by two boys of similar age.

"Sister Lan." The two boys shouted.

When Gan Lan saw the three people appear, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she didn't even treat Ruan Ning, the stranger, with a gentle attitude. However, she hid her disgust very well and didn't show it.

She said calmly, "I came here to buy something."

"Sister Gan Lan, what are you buying? Can you let me take a look at it?" The girl looked at Ruan Ning, who was dressed strangely, with curiosity.

If she had some thoughts about selling things just now, now that there were so many people around, Ruan Ning didn't want to sell at all. She didn't need those packs of instant noodles anyway, and there was no harm in keeping this special crystal core. Maybe she could use it in the future?

Besides, the atmosphere between the two women opposite was weird. It was obvious at a glance that it was not a good thing, so she would not get involved.

Ruan Ning lowered the brim of his hat and whispered, "Sorry, I have something else to do. I'll leave first. You guys can chat slowly."

Seeing that this person was about to leave, Gan Lan wanted to say something to keep her, but although Ruan Ning was petite, she ran very fast and she would disappear from sight if she wasn't careful. In addition, there was another person who was causing trouble beside her, so it was difficult for her to catch up with him. So Gan Lan could only give up and watch the crystal core slip away from her.

**

Ruan Ning jogged for a while, and when he saw that no one was catching up with him, he slowed down.

The residence was some distance away from the market. Ruan Ning had just taken a breath and was about to walk back quickly when suddenly someone patted her shoulder from behind. Ruan Ning was almost startled and reflexively kicked the person.

"Sister Ruan Ning, it's me..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Ruan Ning stopped running and quickly put the fruit knife in his hand back into the space.

When she turned around, she saw that the person who patted her shoulder was indeed Lin Yang.

"Brother Lin Yang..." She looked at the footprints on his black trousers a little embarrassedly and said angrily.

Lin Yang brushed off the dust, rubbed his knees with a grin, and said, "Sister Ruan Ning, you really used a lot of force this time."

Ruan Ning pursed her lips, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's my fault. I scared you first." Lin Yang said quickly when he saw her guilty look.

Ruan Ning saw him and subconsciously looked around, but didn't see that person, so he asked, "Where's my brother? Is he in the safe zone too?"

"Well, we came to the safe zone together this morning. I was thinking of looking for you, but I didn't expect that we would meet here by chance." Lin Yang said happily, "Brother Gu and Chaozi both stayed in the house, and I was the only one out."

Ruan Ning thought of the unfinished task of currying favor with someone before leaving, blinked, and said softly to Lin Yang, "Brother Lin Yang, can you take me to find my brother?"

"...I miss my brother a little bit." She lowered her head, and her tone revealed a hint of dependence. Ruan Ning almost believed it herself.

Lin Yang had no resistance to the beauty he had already recognized. Besides, what Ruan Ning proposed was not difficult, so he agreed to her request without thinking.

…

Meeting Lin Yang here, and then being able to go find the male lead to show his presence, was an unexpected surprise for Ruan Ning when she went out today.

Perhaps her identity as Gu Yicheng's adopted sister was of some use. Ruan Ning found that Lin Yang was not very wary of her, and she could basically get things out of him easily.

Through him, Ruan Ning learned a lot about what happened to the male protagonist after they separated.

Their group is much more dangerous than hers, but because of the difference in strength between the two sides, it makes people feel that they look almost the same.
