"Is that... Lin Ruo? Has she come to the B City base?"
The man's voice wasn't loud, and it had long been drowned out by the argument among these superhumans, but the name "Lin Ruo" was still heard by those around him, and they all instinctively looked up.
Lin Ruo hadn't expected to witness such a farce when she arrived. She narrowed her eyes. Someone actually dared to cause trouble in the exchange hall of the B City base? Her eyes flickered, and a flash of inspiration struck her. The speed at which the wings behind her flapped suddenly increased, and she approached like lightning.
"It really is Lin Ruo!"
In an instant, everyone looked up at the sky, and even the troublemakers subconsciously looked at the black figure in the sky after hearing this.
When they saw the figure flying towards them at high speed, they instinctively took a step back.
The words that were about to come out were swallowed back unconsciously. Everyone knew that Lin Ruo had a delicate relationship with the B City base. They wondered if causing trouble here would attract her attention.
There's no danger in dealing with these people from the B City base; they can cheat you. After all, they represent a base, and the B City base usually prioritizes diplomacy.
But this living devil is unpredictable. If she gets upset, their heads will probably be blown off in the next second. It's really not worth risking their lives for a little food.
Thinking this to themselves, the few superhumans looked around nervously. Finding that no one was paying attention to them, they took advantage of everyone looking up and secretly slipped into the crowd, disappearing from sight.
Lin Ruo "..."
She naturally saw that the superhumans had already secretly left. She had just had a sudden inspiration and wanted to come and find out what was going on. If it was really as she guessed, then this matter would be settled.
But when she arrived, she became the center of attention. She is now somewhat belatedly realizing that flying over here was anything but low-key.
Thinking of what she wanted to ask, she still flapped her huge wings and stopped at the city gate. Then, while the wings were in mid-air, they immediately turned into ice mist and dissipated into the air.
The next second, she was falling from mid-air. Just as she was about to touch the ground, the snowflakes that were constantly falling around her immediately condensed into a ball, cushioning her feet and supporting her rapidly falling body, bringing her steadily to the ground.
Within a few kilometers of the B City base gate, snow was constantly being cleared, so even though it was snowing heavily, the snow on the ground was only up to the soles of shoes.
Lin Ruo's feet landed on the ground with a soft "crunch," and the snowballs supporting her immediately burst open.
The shattered snowflakes exploded outwards like fireworks, breaking into snow mist that merged into the vast snow curtain and disappeared from sight.
"Sister Ruo!" The guard at the gate showed great enthusiasm for Lin Ruo's arrival, and walked up to her in a few steps. "Sister Ruo, is there anything I can do for you this time?"
Lin Ruo nodded to the superhuman. She didn't remember if she had seen this superhuman before. They all seemed to like calling her Sister Ruo, but in fact she was only in her early twenties. Being called "sister" by someone who looked to be over 30 was still a bit speechless.
She silently touched her nose before saying to the man, "I'm looking for Jiang Yue, is he here?"
She came rather hastily this time, on a whim, without contacting Jiang Yue in advance, so she didn't know if he was at the base.
Thinking of Ye Lin and Chen Yu's faces, she lowered her eyes. If Jiang Yue wasn't there, she could come again next time.
"Yes, yes, we already messaged Brother Yue. He's in his office." The superhuman's dark face revealed a set of white teeth, and he asked cautiously with excitement, "Shall I take you in?"
Lin Ruo looked at the superhuman with confusion, feeling that this person had ill intentions.
But she turned to look at the people around her who were treating her like a monkey, and nodded to the superhuman. Even if this person was plotting against her, it was better than waiting here to be a monkey.
She followed the superhuman through the gates of the B City base.
Once she was out of sight, the onlookers behind her began to whisper among themselves.
"My god! She can control her superpowers like that, it's so cool! When will I be able to train my superpowers like that! Growing wings on my back..."
"Did you see that just now? She can even control the snow around her..."
"Take this weather for example. If we could fly, would we need to go through all this trouble every day to dig a road down the mountain?"
"Hurry up, you'll get a lot of points after you finish this road-digging task. So many people are vying for it, and you're already complaining."
"Exactly, don't complain after getting the benefits. If you don't want to do it, find someone else to do it. There are plenty of people eager to do it."
"It's not that I'm envious. As a Chinese, who doesn't dream of flying? Haven't you all seen those period dramas? Now people have superpowers, but it's a pity we still can't do it."
"Alright, enough nonsense. We've found five crystal cores while digging this road. We can exchange them for a lot of food at the exchange hall later. Let's get to work."
The onlookers at the entrance quickly dispersed. Life was even harder than before, and they had to earn points to make a living, so they didn't have much time to stay any longer.
Lin Ruo followed the guard into the B City base. In Lin Ruo's eyes, the B City base was no different from the previous one, except that the buildings were taller, the layout had changed, and there were more people.
In the unfamiliar environment, Lin Ruo's mental energy was constantly expanding, making her more alert. Thinking of her previous guesses, she started talking to the ability user in front of her, asking with a curious tone, "Why did things get chaotic in the exchange hall just now?"
This superhuman was already brimming with excitement at being able to guide his idol, and now that his idol was even talking to him, he quickly replied, "Sigh, don't even mention it. These superhumans from other bases all complain about the small amount of food they get from our base. Everyone wants to get more, but with this heavy snow, our base is really struggling..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of relief appeared in her expression.
Before they even reached Jiang Yue's office, they saw Jiang Yue running out of a building and heading straight for Lin Ruo and the others. This was the first time Lin Ruo had ever approached him on her own initiative.
"Sister Ruo, is there something you need from me?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue had already come out to greet him, the superhuman next to him didn't want to linger. He saluted Jiang Yue and turned to leave.
Lin Ruo didn't pay much attention; she only looked at Jiang Yue, who was leading her forward, and said, "I want to make another deal with you."
