Chapter 144 What's going on this time?
"Huh?" Ye Conglei was dumbfounded. How could they have reversed the Heavenly Gang?
Trying to turn her against you over a single meal? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
She said with regret, "So you have a base now? Which base are you from?"
"Would you like to consider joining my base? I can offer you better treatment, and you'll become the backbone of the base in the future."
Tao Yarong smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to the conditions of our base first?"
Ye Conglei looked puzzled. "Could it be even better than the seed base?"
If she wanted to join another base, she would have gone to the seed base long ago.
In terms of safety and conditions, which base is better than a seed base?
Tao Yarong spoke softly and patiently, "At our base, we often get to eat meals like this. You'll have another chance to become as capable as us in the future. Is that enough?"
Ye Conglei's eyes widened in surprise.
She exclaimed incredulously, "Did I hear that right? You get to eat vegetables all the time at your base? And your superpowers can become stronger?"
These conditions are indeed better than those at the seed base.
Meat is manageable, but can we still eat vegetables regularly in the current situation?
How is that possible!
Also, how can superpowers become stronger? Aren't superpowers supposed to gradually increase in strength on their own?
Thinking of this, Ye Conglei asked Tao Yarong suspiciously, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
Tao Yarong: ...
When this person invited them to join the base, he didn't realize they were bad people.
I never thought there would be a problem with the food while we were eating.
I've suddenly become more safety-conscious.
Tao Yarong found it amusing. "Aren't the facts all right in front of you? Why would I need to lie to you?"
Ye Conglei fell silent; she had just started eating the meat and vegetables.
She witnessed their strength firsthand. As fellow superhumans, she was tied up before she could even put up a fight.
It seems I really wasn't lying to her.
Ye Conglei is now somewhat hesitant.
Choosing between being the base manager and achieving great things, and being able to eat vegetables regularly and become stronger, is really a difficult choice.
While Meng Shiwan was playing in the snow, he suddenly spoke up, giving her a jolt of emotion.
"Acid rain is coming soon, followed by a tsunami, and then extreme cold. Do you really think that you, as a superhuman, can lead those ordinary people to survive these natural disasters?"
Her words not only shocked Ye Conglei, but also stunned several team members who had been watching the commotion.
Lei Zhe pressed, "Sis, really? Don't scare me."
Just hearing those words made me feel a chill in my heart.
If this were to become a reality, how heavy would it be?
Meng Shiwan remained silent, and they already knew the answer.
Tao Yarong said in a hoarse voice, "When has my sister ever lied to us?"
All they knew was that acid rain was coming, because the seed base was busy building a canopy.
They didn't know that after acid rain, other natural disasters would follow.
Ye Conglei was in shock and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
This news was a huge shock to her.
She was so shocked that she even doubted whether Meng Shiwan was telling the truth.
Just then, the roar of a vehicle approached from afar.
Meng Shiwan looked up with a smile, "Wu Ming is here."
The crystal nucleus has also arrived.
She was running out of space, so her arrival was perfectly timed.
It was the same armored vehicle parked beside the convoy. Wu Ming jumped out and went straight to the stove.
"I've arrived just in time for lunch."
He didn't stand on ceremony at all. He picked up a bowl, filled it with rice, topped it with a little meat and lots of vegetables.
Given his status, he doesn't lack meat at the base, but he rarely sees vegetable leaves, which are now extremely rare.
Li Jun followed his example and served himself a bowl of rice.
The two squatted down on the edge and started showing off.
Meng Shiwan: ...
"You two, get down to business first."
She's still waiting for the crystal core.
Wu Ming glanced at Li Jun, who was showing off his food next to him, and gestured for him to take the food out.
"Nothing much to say, same old rules, one million crystal cores this time."
Li Jun threw dozens of shipping containers onto the open space behind him and continued eating.
Meng Shiwan was shocked when she heard the number one million.
"Holy crap."
"What the hell?!" The system's shocked voice rang in Meng Shiwan's mind at the same time.
This amount is terrifying!
Seeing Meng Shiwan's astonishment, Wu Ming looked up from his bowl and asked worriedly, "Can we exchange this quantity?"
Since the news that crystal cores could be exchanged for ability enhancement fluid spread throughout the seed bases in various cities, seed bases in other cities immediately sent crystal cores to the Haicheng District seed base, all hoping to exchange them for this valuable ability enhancement fluid.
These one million crystal cores were collected from seed bases in many cities.
They were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the ability-enhancing fluid to train ability users to cope with natural disasters.
Seeing Meng Shiwan's amazement, Wu Ming worried that she wouldn't be able to exchange so much, leaving the various bases disappointed.
Meng Shiwan nodded, "It can be changed."
Only after receiving Meng Shiwan's affirmative answer did Wu Ming feel relieved enough to eat in silence.
Meng Shiwan said to the system in her mind, "Count the quantity. If there are no problems, buy 3,334 for him later."
The system was overjoyed, "Great! The quantity is more than enough, so it's tradable."
Meng Shiwan urged the vines to pry open the containers one by one and collect the crystal cores.
Ye Conglei, sitting to the side, stared wide-eyed, her jaw nearly dropping to the ground, her face filled with terror as she watched as one container after another was pried open, revealing the dense array of crystal cores inside, which then quickly vanished.
Her mind was practically blank; it felt like she'd stumbled into some incredible transaction.
She only heard the two of them talking about whether they could exchange it, but she didn't know what they wanted to exchange it for, but they needed one million crystal cores.
One million crystal cores!
Where did they get a million crystal cores from?!
Ye Conglei originally thought that the base she had set up was incredibly awesome.
Compared to the scene before her, her base was nothing.
Is this the apocalypse she understands?
Does she live in the same world as these people?
Also, with so many crystal cores disappearing, she must be a space ability user, but why can she still use wood-type abilities when she sees this girl who keeps cats?
When the cat attacked her earlier, she prepared to retaliate using ice-type abilities, but this girl used fire-type abilities to deflect her attack.
What exactly is going on?
A multi-elemental ability user?
Are there really multi-elemental ability users in this world? Are they that awesome?
No wonder everyone calls her "sister," she's really impressive.
Ye Conglei asked Tao Yarong beside her in a hoarse voice, "Who exactly are you people? What do you do? What good stuff could be worth a million crystal cores?"
When she said this, she could hardly find her own voice.
My mind was filled with shock and disbelief.
Before Tao Yarong could answer, Wu Ming stood up abruptly.
He pointed at Ye Conglei and questioned Meng Shiwan, "Didn't you say you weren't hiring for the time being? Who is this unfamiliar face? Is she your new team member?"
His expression was like that of a wife catching her husband cheating on her husband; it was quite a sight.
Ye Conglei: ? ? ?
No, she still hasn't figured out all her questions from earlier, so what's going on now?
