Everyone had gotten used to Su Jin and Lu Hao coming back from Liang Jiuhui with Crystal Cores, so the fact that there were only two hundred today was hardly surprising. After all, Su Jin had simply gone to answer a question, without any tasks to perform, so everyone still thought it was a good deal.

“Sister Xiao Jin, is there really a Mental Element Ability User?”

Mao Qiqi asked excitedly, finally someone of the same element as hers had appeared!

“Yes, but her Mental Element Ability seems a bit different from yours. You two should exchange experiences when you have the chance,” Su Jin said with a smile.

“Mhm!”

...

Mrs. Su and Lin Tianhui once again went into detail about the new policies at the base for everyone.

The consensus was clear; they had no intention of participating in the conscription assessments. Since there were rewards for forming teams and extra missions available, they definitely planned to register a team. With their current number of people, forming a team was no problem at all.

“Remember to bring your points cards tomorrow. These points cards also serve as your identity verification, to save you the trouble of running back and forth.”

Lin Tianhui reminded them that since the news had come out today, many people had scrambled to form teams, and quite a few had forgotten to bring their points cards and had to go back for them.

The points cards had been distributed within the base, with one point being equivalent to one Crystal Core. Those who wanted to exchange Crystal Cores for points could do so with their Crystal Cores, although they themselves had no such need. Since they didn’t need to eat in the base cafeteria or pay rent, the points were essentially useless to them.

However, one of the more humane regulations was that if the points on the card went unused, they could be converted back into Crystal Cores, but the cardholder had to do the exchange personally, to prevent theft of the card or any foul play.

At night, after Su Jin entered her Space, she, as usual, let the Space absorb 50 Crystal Cores. She had become numb to it; ever since her Space had upgraded, she observed that the Space required at least 50 Crystal Cores a day to keep the grey fog that had receded far from the creek from advancing. Otherwise, the fog would still slowly creep forward.

In the beginning, when she daily allowed the Space to absorb these Crystal Cores, she had felt pained. But now, after so many days, she felt she had gradually become desensitized to it.

“Uncle Nie, this Space sure consumes a lot of Crystal Cores,” Su Jin couldn’t help but complain to Nie Qing, who was still eating watermelon.

“Don’t be too sad, girl, I remember my Ancestral Master once said that the Mustard Seed Spaces of the ancestors initially required the consumption of Spiritual Power to maintain. But once they reached a certain level, the Space could be maintained permanently. Perhaps this Wood Spirit Space is the same kind as the Mustard Seed Space mentioned by the Ancestral Master,” Nie Qing consoled her.

“Really? Then what level is that certain level?”

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn’t help but get excited. A permanent maintenance was something she eagerly looked forward to!

“I really don’t know,”

apologized Nie Qing. However, he always felt that this Space would one day upgrade to the maximum level, and perhaps that maximum level was this “certain level.”

Su Jin also felt a bit more relieved. She was being too impatient. Now even Lu Hao, who usually didn’t care about money, was asking Liang Jiuhui for Crystal Cores on her behalf. Prior to the apocalypse, that guy couldn’t even remember how much was in his own savings. ȐΑℕǒ฿Èś

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo continued to be concerned about Mao Qiqi’s condition. Today, when Mao Zhihang carried Mao Qiqi into the Lu Residence, both of them were nearly scared out of their wits, only calming down after they learned that Qiqi had merely overexerted her special ability.

“Our Qiqi is amazing now; she can even protect mommy,” Li Xiuying said, combing Mao Qiqi’s freshly washed long hair.

“Grandma, Qiqi has always been amazing,”

Mao Qiqi comfortably sat in the armchair, with her grandmother gently combing her hair and massaging her head, making her feel incredibly relaxed.

“Qiqi is our Lin family’s granddaughter, of course, she’s awesome!” Lin Yunguo echoed from the side.

At this moment, Lin Tianzhen was also deeply moved. She felt that her care for Qiqi over the years was not in vain. When Qiqi was only three or four years old, she would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to cover her with a blanket, which was incredibly sweet.

Su Jin also took a small slice of watermelon for Lu Hao and herself, and they joined everyone in eating and talking about the day’s events. The space’s fruits were sweet and juicy, and everyone couldn’t help but overindulge.

Since the next day they only needed to register their team at the base and didn’t have to go out to kill zombies, the Su family watched TV in the space for a while before leaving the space individually.

As for Nie Qing and Lu Guanhai, who planned to leave the space the next morning, Su Jin and the others were already used to it. As long as someone was at the Lu Residence, having a few extra people staying in the space was no issue, and it served to keep the grandparents company.

Lin Xiuyuan didn’t plan to leave the space so early either. He and Lin Cheng were accompanying Huang Yunxiang as she practiced her Water Element Ability. After seeing the Glasses Man’s Water Element Ability, Huang Yunxiang had been researching how to achieve more powerful effects, and although she hadn’t succeeded yet, everyone supported her.

At night, Lu Hao held the soft Su Jin in his arms, listening to her comfort him by saying not to worry too much about the Crystal Core issue. He immediately understood what Su Jin was thinking.

She must be feeling guilty.

“Xiao Jin, even if it weren’t for you, I would still need to upgrade it. From now on, let’s both share the responsibility of its upgrade, okay?”

In the darkness, the pleasant voice of Lu Hao came through, making Su Jin smile and curve her lips. That’s right, she’s upgrading the space for the Lu Family! It’s only right that Lu Hao contributes!

Seeing that Su Jin seemed to have grasped the key point, Lu Hao contently rubbed the head of the person in his arms. His Xiao Jin, she really wore her heart on her sleeve…

The next morning, the family and Guo Yang, along with others, gathered their points cards and headed to the mission hall to register their team, even Mrs. Su took the day off to join them.

The mission hall was bustling, but fortunately, there were many service windows open, so they didn’t have to wait too long.

“Would the team leader please sign here?”

After patiently registering each team member’s points card, the staff member handed over a form and said.

The team leader?

Everyone instinctively looked at Su Jin.

Without being overly modest, Su Jin directly picked up the form and started filling it out.

Although the staff member was surprised that the leader of this impressive team was a young girl, professional ethics prevented her from showing any reaction.

Su Jin began to seriously fill out her information, as well as that of her teammates.

While filling it out, Su Jin stopped and looked at everyone, asking:

“What’s our team name?”
