Chapter 318 Let's Make a Big Move
The loud speakers blared again, and Tao Yarong's voice came through.
"The rankings of the recruited superhumans are now being announced."
First place: Tang Xiaoyu, with 10,008 level-two crystal cores.
Second place: Peng Lihui, 10,008 level-two crystal cores.
Third place: Song Fei, with 10,007 level-two crystal cores.
Fourth place: Liu Haiyang, 210 Level 2 crystal cores.
..."
Tao Yarong's voice was still ringing when the dense crowd outside the base began to stir.
"The top three have tens of thousands of level-two crystal cores. Are they freaks? If they have this ability, how come I've never heard of them before?"
"The gap between third and fourth place is like a chasm, it's too exaggerated."
"Who are these three extraordinary individuals? How did they manage to kill so many zombies in just seven days?"
"I heard that these three cheated because someone else collected the information for them."
"What do you mean by cheating? I don't even have the ability to cheat, okay?"
Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Tang Xiaoyu, Peng Lihui, and Song Fei, instead of being excited about being in the top three, lowered their heads in shame.
With so many crystal cores, their only effort was collecting them; they didn't kill any of them.
Qin Nianshu was very happy and stood to the side, saying to the three of them, "Am I amazing? I told you I would get you in the top three, and you definitely did it."
Peng Lihui said awkwardly, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Qin Nianshu blinked, "It's not an exaggeration. If you're going to show off, you have to do it big."
The three people: ...
Is this what it feels like to be carried by a pro? Why does it feel so good?
Tang Xiaoyu took the three bags they used to store the crystal cores and handed them to Qin Nianshu. "These crystal cores are all for you. We are already very grateful to you for helping us enter the Dawn Base."
Qin Nianshu looked up at the three of them, clearly surprised. "Thirty thousand level-two crystal cores! Such a huge fortune, and you're giving it all to me?"
Human nature is greedy; she could understand if the three of them gave her even a share.
It was truly unexpected that she would be given everything.
Tang Xiaoyu laughed and said, "These crystal cores originally belonged to you. You killed all the zombies, and we were only responsible for picking them up to help us enter the Dawn Base. We have already benefited from this, so the crystal cores should naturally be returned to you."
Qin Nianshu tilted her head and looked at her without saying a word.
Tang Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy under her gaze and asked in a low voice, "W-what's wrong?"
Qin Nianshu asked in confusion, "You really are different from others."
Tang Xiaoyu looked at herself. "What's different?"
Qin Nianshu: "Not greedy enough."
Many people feel they haven't received enough, but I've never seen anyone who feels they've already received a lot.
Tang Xiaoyu remained silent. "I'll take that as a compliment."
Qin Nianshu took one of the bags. "I only need one bag. The rest are yours. Don't think that joining the Dawn Base will solve everything. There are many places where you need crystal cores."
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the two bags in her hands, "Then, shall we accept them?"
She was a little hesitant.
They were afraid that the girl might change her expression and accuse them of being greedy, and then kill them.
Qin Nianshu turned and left, saying, "I'm leaving. See you at the Dawn Base."
Only after Qin Nianshu left did the three of them finally breathe a sigh of relief and squat down to rest for a while.
This week allowed them to experience firsthand just how much pressure those palace maids in ancient times faced when serving their unpredictable masters were under.
After Tao Yarong finished announcing the list, she continued, "Dawn Base will continue to recruit people with superpowers. Anyone who has reached level six can apply. Our base offers excellent benefits and welcomes people with superpowers to join us."
The onlookers were completely fed up with what they heard.
"The requirements for recruiting superhumans at Dawn Base are already at least level six. Could they be any more outrageous?"
"Are level six ability users like cabbages on the ground? They just appear out of nowhere?"
“Other bases try to recruit any ability user they can find, but Dawn Base only wants level six ability users. I’m speechless.”
Since the Dawn Base appeared here, they have truly had their eyes opened.
The two thousand selected candidates gathered excitedly, awaiting their assignments.
Lei Zhe entered their facial features into the system one by one and authorized their access.
Tao Yarong then lectured them, "No matter how you passed the selection, that's all in the past. From now on, once you join the Dawn Base, you must abide by the rules of the Dawn Base."
Internal fighting and targeting of each other are strictly prohibited. Unity must be maintained against external threats. Base supplies must not be sold to outsiders without authorization; any violation will result in immediate execution.
Within the base, all positions are well-paid for those with supernatural abilities, ensuring you have ample food and clothing.
Dawn Base isn't heartless; as long as you perform well and make contributions, we can bring your families to the base..."
Hearing this, they became even more excited.
They themselves are able to enter Dawn Base, and they hope that their families can also enter Dawn Base so that the family can be reunited.
They had never heard that they could bring their families in before, and they thought that Dawn Base didn't want anyone else.
Unexpectedly, as long as they perform well, they can bring their families to enjoy a comfortable life, which makes them even more motivated.
Two thousand people followed Lei Zhe into the base. The soft touch of the soil under their feet, the fresh air, the clear sky, and the thriving crops around them all gave them the feeling of entering another world.
The outside world is desolate, but here life is everywhere.
Rezhe led them to an open space where the crops had been harvested, revealing the fertile black soil beneath.
The crowd was confused and didn't know what was going on.
Lei Zhe began, "From now on, you will train with me and become the most solid guard of Dawn Base. Now, our first task is to build houses."
Everyone: ? ? ?
Peng Lihui mustered his courage and asked, "Is building houses also part of the training?"
Lei Zhe was speechless. "Let's build you a dormitory and a training ground first. Your mission is different from ordinary people, so it's not suitable for you to live in a small town."
A guard team should behave like a guard team, and there should definitely be unified accommodation and management.
These things weren't considered before, so we didn't build houses like this. Now let these people build them themselves.
Lei Zhe reiterated, "The internal price of the ability enhancement liquid is 200 level 1 crystal cores per vial. If you have any crystal cores, you can purchase them yourself to enhance your strength."
Everyone was stunned again.
"The ability enhancement fluid that sells for 999 crystal cores outside is only 200 crystal cores? That's so cheap."
"Dawn Base is such a great place. Even the ability enhancement fluid is so cheap. There are so many perks here."
"Where can I buy it? I want to buy it now."
They just finished the selection process and they all have quite a few level-two crystal cores.
They were all quite impatient.
I couldn't afford the ability enhancement fluid before, but now that crystal cores are available and cheaper, I can buy as much as I want.
