Chapter 29: “Publicizing” the village chief’s achievements?
In order to confirm this, Song Yinghe, despite the unfriendly looks, deliberately asked indirectly about various things that happened in the village over the years.
By the time they got back to the tree house, the look on her face said it all.
"That damn Liu Yaozu!" Song Yinghe sat down on the rattan chair. "Do you know why Liu Dali is so popular in the village? The villagers said that he takes out a portion of his money every year to build infrastructure for the village, including street lights!"
She sneered, "I didn't know Liu Dali was so generous! And that Liu Yaozu, who gave all the favors to Liu Dali, probably felt that with his income, no one would believe him with this title."
But there must be some unclear transaction between these two people, otherwise why would the village chief be so generous? Why would he protect Liu Dali like this?
Chi Yuanshan suddenly sighed: "I thought too highly of them."
At the beginning, he had some friendship with Liu Dali, and the village chief was very supportive of his planting fruit trees in the village, which gave him some illusions.
Chi Wan shook his head and smiled slyly: "It's not too late to know now. The village chief wants to take over the experimental base for his own performance. In this case, let's give him a big performance. Dad, where is the receipt for your donation to the village?"
Hearing Chi Wan's words, Song Yinghe's eyes lit up, and she patted Chi Yuanshan in a reproachful manner: "I told you to be more careful before, but you didn't believe me. You are not as smart as our daughter. Fortunately, when your father donated the money, he used the public account. At that time, he thought it could be legally deducted from taxes, which would make it easier to check the receipts."
Chi Wan was relieved: "Then we can publicize the great achievements of the village chief in developing the village, and also Liu Dali's family. I hope they can spend the money wisely..."

While Chi Wan was preparing to catch the village chief with great enthusiasm, Li Xingye's first crystal core-powered device was finally completed.
Although it was just a small gas stove, everyone involved was very excited.
"Boss, I didn't expect it to work!" Qiangzi stared at the flames burning in the stove with shining eyes: "If it can be made into a weapon, even ordinary people will have a certain ability to protect themselves!"
Lin Wei, who was standing by, nodded hurriedly when he heard Qiangzi's words. He was so concerned about this because after experiencing the nightmare of being almost eaten as food, he hoped to have more ways to protect his wife and daughter.
But he soon became depressed again: "Unfortunately, my ability level is still too low, so I can only do this much. As for weapons, I still have to rely on the one at the Frenzy Base."
Li Xingye smiled and handed the backpack to Lin Wei: "Got it, I'll think of a way. You've worked hard, too. Keep the low-level crystal cores for research, and divide the ones above level 4 between you and Sister Zhang and the others. The base will depend on you to build it in the future, so you should also improve your strength more often."
Lin Wei took the backpack with some excitement. He also wanted to improve his strength, but the shortage of food made them dare not do anything too risky, especially since the crystal cores could only increase strength but not satiety.
Now that Li Xingye is here and there is no need to worry about food, improving strength naturally becomes crucial.
“Leader, we will go out to hunt zombies regularly to improve our strength.” Lin Wei said seriously, “When my ability is higher, I may be able to make a more useful crystal core device.”
Li Xingye nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."
As soon as Lin Wei left, Cheng Peng spoke anxiously: "That's not right, Brother Ye. What if Kuangchao has already made crystal core weapons? Then we..."
Although Cheng Peng didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he meant.
The reason why Kuangchao had not taken the initiative to provoke them before was because Li Xingye was in charge. Before they understood the strength of Li Xingye, they did not dare to act rashly.
But the last time Ding Yao instigated the Wildfire Base to cause trouble, it was most likely a signal.
However, Li Xingye not only did not die outside, he also came back with supplies, and the first thing he did when he returned was to destroy the wildfire base.
Perhaps it was because the Wildfire Base seemed so vulnerable in the face of Li Xingye's combat power. Although they knew that their base had an extra batch of supplies, no one was so blind as to provoke them for the time being.
"But they have been very quiet recently. They don't seem to want to avenge the Wildfire Base at all." Haozi sneered: "I haven't forgotten what that bastard Ding Yao did. If it weren't for him, Lao Qi wouldn't have died."
Li Xingye didn't say anything, but just asked Cheng Peng: "Have you sensed Ding Yao's presence outside the base recently?"
Cheng Peng's special ability allows him to remember the smell information of all people he has come into contact with, and the range is enough to cover about 100 meters around the base.
He shook his head: "Ding Yao should also know the range of my ability, so he never approached the base. But Brother Ye, speaking of this, I am a little curious. He didn't come to the base at the beginning, and he didn't follow us. How did he know that we would definitely get into trouble outside?"
Haozi sneered: "What if he just wants the Wildfire Base to come over to test it? Anyway, even if the test fails, it will be the Wildfire Base that suffers, not him."
What Haozi said made sense, but Li Xingye always felt it was a little strange.
That was just the keen intuition of a high-level psychic. He always felt that Ding Yao might have other intentions.
But, it doesn't matter.
For Li Xingye, the reason he didn't kill Ding Yao before was simply because he didn't want to waste his energy.
Since they want to know my strength so much, I might as well give it to them and let them study it carefully.
Li Xingye raised his lips slightly: "Qiangzi, you guys get ready. We will go to the Frenzy Base to have some discussions in a couple of days."
Qiangzi didn’t understand those confusing things, but he was familiar with what Li Xingye said!
"What are you preparing for? We can set off now!"
Haozi rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you leaving? Brother Ye's kitchen isn't finished yet."
Qiangzi touched his head and grinned: "Hehe, then of course the matter of the Space God is the most important."
As he spoke, he put his hand on Li Xingye's shoulder again and said seriously: "Boss, you said that the Space Goddess helped us so much, we should repay her. Those worthless gold and jewelry alone can't reflect our sincerity."
Li Xingye glanced at him and said seriously, "Yes, I think there was a custom of using pig heads to sacrifice to the gods in the past, otherwise..."
Qiangzi felt a chill on his neck when Li Xingye looked at him, and he immediately distanced himself from him, saying with a dry laugh: "Don't scare the little girl. Big brother, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go see if Qianqian and the others need any help..."
Li Xingye cursed with a smile, then remembered that he had not entered the space today, so he took a look into the space.
This sight gave him a fright.
