Chapter 43 Uninvited Guests
Li Xingye didn't know much about orchids, and he knew even less about the names of the orchids that Chi Wan mentioned.
What he cared about was still Chi Wan's mood. It sounded like she really liked this Qingyi Suhe plant.
Sure enough, the next second Chi Wan turned into a screaming chicken: "Brother Xingye!! It's Qingyi Suhe!! And... wait, is that a dragon robe?! Who am I and where am I? If I'm dreaming, please don't wake me up! Is this heaven? No, even heaven can't be better than here..."
Li Xingye stared at Chi Wan's face, which was slightly red because of happiness, and her jumping up and down with excitement. He couldn't help but curl his lips: "Okay, okay, since you like orchids so much, I will find you some more orchid seeds after I finish the flowerbed."
The seeds he had before were mostly from plants with higher lethality. He didn't even know when he got these orchid seeds, but fortunately he didn't lose them.
“Hehe, it’s not just because I like orchids.” Chi Wan scratched his head embarrassedly: “It’s mainly because there are two big words written on each petal of these flowers: Very expensive.”
Chi Wan's honesty about money only made Li Xingye feel cute, and he chuckled, "Then I will continue to work hard and grow you some more expensive orchids."
Hearing Li Xingye's words, Chi Wan's eyes lit up: "Then I can directly convert the flower house I built before into a greenhouse to grow these orchids. When people come to visit, they will be shocked!"
After saying that, he left the space excitedly.
Li Xingye looked at Chi Wan who was always in such a hurry, smiled helplessly, tidied up the flower bed and left.
He has been busy expanding the base recently, and the population has increased a lot.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of resources nowadays. In addition, after Li Xingye took over the Frenzy base, he did not hide the fact that he could get fresh ingredients. His swift and decisive actions in taking over the Frenzy also made everyone have a new understanding of his strength.
Although there were people who wanted to cause trouble secretly at the time, they were not many. Especially after being caught, they were used as an example to scare the monkeys, which made those who had ulterior motives give up.
Instead, many bases that wanted to cooperate with him, as well as some teams with special abilities that had no affiliation and wanted to join a base, lined up to come to him.
However, Li Xingye did not blindly accept everything. After all, the output in the space was not enough to support too many survivors.
But the instant food products that Chi Wan had stockpiled for him came in handy.
Li Xingye took advantage of this momentum and traded food materials such as compressed biscuits with surrounding bases to acquire zombie crystal cores.
At the same time, it also reveals a message: he does have a special source of food, and the types of exchangeable ingredients will be further expanded in the future. However, not all bases are eligible. Frenzy will give priority to trading with bases that have more ordinary survivors and are treated well.
Although it cannot be completely avoided, it can at least temporarily alleviate the survival pressure of some ordinary survivors.
The crystal cores obtained in exchange are used to expand the space on the one hand, and on the other hand, they are naturally provided to Duan Qianyu to develop new crystal core kinetic energy devices.
The power of the crystal core superpower gun newly developed by Duan Qianyu is a bit useless for superpower users, but it is just right for ordinary people who want to do something for the base or their family. With these weapons, they can also go out and fight zombies to earn some crystal cores in exchange for points.
There are more and more people with special abilities and ordinary people in the base. The lack of a sound reward and punishment mechanism and remuneration is not conducive to long-term development.
Li Xingye continued to use the points system before the craze, and each department gradually improved.
What excites ordinary people the most is that they can actually grow crops in the current frenzy base! Even if they can only grow food such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, it at least gives them a way to exchange their labor for points, and they also have more expectations for the future.
The soil that can be used to grow crops was naturally brought out by Li Xingye from the space. Originally, he was just trying it, but what surprised him was that the soil produced in the space was actually not affected by the doomsday environment!
Although the amount of soil brought out every day was limited, Li Xingye was not in a hurry at all - even if he could bring out an unlimited amount, he would not dare to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, so this was good enough.

After coming out of the space, Chi Wan was originally waiting for Zhou Huaijin and his grandfather, but he didn't expect to receive a few uninvited guests first.
"Chi's girl, look who's here to see you!" Aunt Li, who had just returned, said with a tone of seeking credit: "They found your homestead. I saw them wandering around so I asked them and found out they were your family members..."
Chi Wan frowned and walked out of the house. The people coming towards him were not his grandparents and uncle?
The three of them looked at the room in front of them with the same surprise, and when their eyes fell on Chi Wan, they secretly exchanged glances.
Chi Wan's unreliable uncle Song Yangming was the first to push open the bamboo door on the fence and walk in. He was sharp-eyed and caught a glimpse of the huge TV screen through the crack of the door that Chi Wan had not closed. He said in a gloomy voice, "Oh, my parents and I were worried that you were not living well, so we came here in a hurry to improve your life. You bankrupts are living a better life than us."
Chi Wan closed the door expressionlessly, with no intention of inviting them in.
She looked at Aunt Li, whose face was a little stiff, and said, "Aunt, we have something to do at home, so I won't send you off."
Aunt Li could see that there was something strange about the relationship between this family, and she felt annoyed at herself for meddling in their affairs. I could only laugh awkwardly, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Chi Wan's grandmother Qian Cuicui pouted and tried to rush into the house: "You are becoming more and more rude. It's ok to call people, but how can you let the elders stand outside the house all the time?"
Chi Wan stopped them and didn't even bother to pretend to be nice to them: "Our house is made of branches. It will collapse if too many people go in. You should go to the house over there."
Qian Cuicui was stunned and subconsciously looked up at the house built with vines and branches. She was really worried that it would collapse, so she hesitated whether to go in.
Song Yangming, on the other hand, acted like he was the master. He directly pulled Chi Wan away and tried to push the door open: "Mom, don't listen to her scaring you. If they dare to live here as a family of three, why should we be afraid to enter? At worst, we can just not go up to the second floor.
"Besides, they didn't dare to let us in. Could it be that they were afraid that we would find out that Chi Yuanshan said he was bankrupt, but in fact he had hidden a lot of valuables?"
"Yangming is right. Even Wan can live there, so why can't we?" Song Jianguo, who had been silent the whole time, glanced at Chi Wan and acted like the head of the family: "We are all family. It's ridiculous to scheme against each other."
Hearing Song Jianguo's words, Chi Wan almost laughed out loud: "Speaking of scheming, who can outsmart my dear uncle? When he saw that our family was bankrupt, he even ignored my mother's calls, fearing that she would ask him to borrow money. Now, who has heard something that makes him come to my house with such a flattering face?"
