Seeing his wife rolling her eyes, Shu Hengming had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, here you go."
Then, from the pocket tied around his waist, he took out the crystal core that Qingyou had mentioned.
He couldn't help but feel a pang of regret when he took out the level-four crystal core.
They had a hard time hailing it on the road, and now it's all gone to Shu Qingyou.
But he could tell that if he didn't compromise, Shu Qingyou might really strangle his wife.
Seeing Shu Hengming take out the crystal core, Qingyou waved her hand and put it into her space.
The vines binding Qu Xiuxiang also disappeared quickly, as if they had never existed.
"Cough cough..." Qu Xiuxiang collapsed to the ground, coughing incessantly.
The suffocating, near-death feeling she had just experienced truly terrified her.
Although he hated Qingyou even more, he dared not say anything more.
The second couple came downstairs after packing their things, and were startled by what they saw.
He ignored his daughter-in-law, simply called out to his son, and then they all left.
They have always looked down on Qu Xiuxiang, their daughter-in-law who came from a humble background. Not only was she almost killed by Shu Qingyou just now, but her son also suffered a massive hemorrhage. No wonder they are not happy.
Thinking about how so many crystal cores had benefited Shu Qingyou so much, they couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
This deepened his resentment towards Qu Xiuxiang.
Shu Hengming and his wife were level four ability users, and they also contributed some crystal cores, so they were allocated a large, single-level apartment with a nice environment to move into.
Soon after they moved in, conflicts arose between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Shu Hengming's parents were extremely critical of Qu Xiuxiang, finding fault with everything she did.
If it weren't for the fact that their daughter-in-law was also a level four ability user, they would have wanted their son to find a new wife.
Qu Xiuxiang also couldn't stand her wicked mother-in-law and argued with her every day.
She couldn't help but think of how good her mother-in-law had been to her, since she had never made things difficult for her.
He even complained to Shu Hengming in private that he wasn't the biological son of the first wife and her husband.
The second wife and her husband were not only incompetent, but also liked to cause trouble.
Living together every day, Shu Hengming also discovered various flaws in his biological parents.
There might be some way out; we're already in a bind.
To avoid his biological parents, he took Qu Xiuxiang out every day to recruit people with supernatural abilities and build up his power.
And then his own mother would occasionally drag him down.
He either wanted to place his family members in the team he built, or he would frequently ask for crystal cores and then use them to subsidize his family.
But once he refused, the other party would cry and complain about how much sacrifice she had made for him back then, which annoyed Shu Hengming so much that he could only turn a blind eye.
On the other side.
Qingyou also settled down at the Kyoto base.
Then, Hua Jinghe directly bought an abandoned urban village.
Because of the strange changes in the world, not only did zombies, mutated plants, and mutated beasts appear, but food, vegetables, and fruits also mutated.
This mutation is not a good thing; when planting, a toxic strain will appear, and then spread and kill the crops or vegetables in a field.
Moreover, the newly planted grains, vegetables, and fruits taste much worse than before the apocalypse.
However, being able to fill one's stomach is already a blessing, so all the major bases are organizing and encouraging land reclamation and farming.
Therefore, not only are crystal nuclei a form of hard currency, but food is as well.
There's plenty of food in the Green Pomelo Space, but it's limited. Even if it's used to feed the whole team, it won't last for many years.
In addition, she also wanted to grow some medicinal herbs, so she bought land and hired people to grow them.
She didn't use the seeds from her spatial storage, but instead traded them with Mu Mu from the modern era and the prince from the ancient era.
Since the two didn't need crystal cores, she traded them mutated plants that were useful to them or talismans she drew herself.
She would soak the seeds and seedlings she received in the exchange in a spiritual spring to make them less susceptible to mutated strains after planting.
It can also improve the survival rate, taste, and effect.
In addition, they also recruit ordinary people to work, providing them with food and accommodation.
The urban village that Qingyou bought was completely deserted after the apocalypse, and its location was very remote, right next to the city wall of the base.
Therefore, this area is often attacked by mutated beasts and mutated plants that can leap into the base, making it very dangerous.
The houses nearby are all empty; no one dares to live here.
That's why Qingyou was able to buy the entire area.
Ai Shaotao was good at management, so Qingyou entrusted him with tasks such as construction and recruitment.
Ai Shaotao was indeed very capable, and he quickly started advertising within the base.
They also have the team's superhumans take turns guarding the area, so that even if mutated animals suddenly appear, they can quickly deal with them.
In the base, ordinary people survive in the cracks, while those with connections or backgrounds can eat well, dress warmly, and live comfortably.
Ordinary people can only live in shacks, and even if they go out to work for a day, they can barely make enough to eat.
Families with elderly parents and young children face extreme hardship.
But no one wanted to move out of the base because it was dangerous outside and they could easily die.
Seeing the recruitment notice from Qingyou's team, which included free room and board and monthly salary in crystal cores, I realized that the benefits were excellent.
Although I know that the urban village is not safe, it is still better than the outside of the city, not to mention that there are now people with superpowers protecting it.
As a result, people started coming to apply for the job one after another.
Then they found that there was absolutely no safety problem, the place to live was much better than the shack, and they could eat and dress warmly, and they would not be deliberately exploited by people with superpowers.
After observing for a period of time, people found that working here was a good experience, so more ordinary people came to apply.
A month later, all the nearby fields were planted with various grains, vegetables, fruits, and medicinal herbs.
