Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Lecture
“These lectures are just to teach everyone so basic knowledge about each type of Special Ability, and they’re not too difficult, but this Wood Elent one…”
Liang Jiuhui looked at Su Jin with an appreciative eye, which couldn’t help but give her an ominous premonition.
“I want to ask you to be the lecturer for the Wood Elent, and you can na your price,”
Fearing that Su Jin might refuse, Liang Jiuhui quickly added that last sentence.
“…”
What does it an, ‘you can na your price’? She was internally rejecting the idea, okay?
“In the entire base, you’re the only one who can skillfully use the Wood Elent Ability,”
Seeing that Su Jin indeed looked troubled, Liang Jiuhui directly took out a bag of Crystal Cores from the drawer beside him and placed it on the table.
“One thousand for one lesson,”
He didn’t expect Su Jin to be able to teach a bunch of Wood Elent Ability Users as powerful as her, but since he was going to hold these lectures, he wanted to do his best to make them successful. And among all the Wood Elent Ability Users he knew, only Su Jin’s abilities were the strongest and the most unique.
“Xiao Jin, why don’t you just agree? They’ve even agreed to share ownership with us,” Lin Tianhui whispered in Su Jin’s ear, and she always felt that this was not a bad thing—the Base Leader was willing to pay, which was already giving them a lot of face.
Su Jin sighed and agreed, “You really overestimate , but I’ll take on this task.”
Hearing what Su Jin said, Liang Jiuhui finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Liang, Base Leader, one thousand Crystal Cores for one lesson?”
Xu Mingzhi didn’t dare to ask until after Su Jin and Lin Tianhui had left.
“She’s worth the price,”
Although Liang Jiuhui also felt the pinch, he still thought that Su Jin was worth the price and even exceeded it.
Xu Mingzhi fell silent, rembering the scene where Su Jin saved them that day. Dark green vines descended from the heavens, weaving rapidly in front of them like divine assistance. More than a dozen people were no match for her, not to ntion that gigantic Venus Flytrap…
One thousand Crystal Cores, indeed, seed worth it.
When Su Jin and Lin Tianhui walked out of the eting room, they happened to run into Shao Zian carrying a bunch of things. Seeing the familiar machine in his hands, Su Jin couldn’t help but smile—it seed the base was also moving in that direction.
After exchanging greetings, Shao Zian went inside. Lin Tianhui couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Jin, what were you smiling at just now?”
“Nothing much, just that the base might move to a points system next,”
Su Jin explained.
As in the past life, initially, Crystal Cores were commonly used in all bases, but it was gradually realized that the direct circulation of Crystal Cores had many inconveniences.
Not only was the quantity hard to calculate when there were many Crystal Cores, but also their weight was significant. Moreover, carrying them around was highly inconvenient, and there could even be theft or robbery. Therefore, later on, all bases slowly switched to a points system. Whether it was Crystal Cores earned from missions or contributions to the base, all could be exchanged for points and stored on points cards. Even for als and rent, points could be directly deducted from the points card.
Having all inco and expenditures concentrated on a single card was undoubtedly very convenient.
What Shao Zian had just been holding was the machine for saving points.
“That convenient? But I still feel that Crystal Cores are more solid,” Lin Tianhui said as they walked. Besides, their Space needed Crystal Cores.
“Yeah, but as long as you live in the base, everyone will eventually have a points card, which will also serve as proof of identity for the base,” Su Jin said beside Lin Tianhui.
Lin Tianhui nodded and continued walking to the hospital with Su Jin. She was planning to go to work at the hospital, and it conveniently fell on the way for Su Jin, who was heading to the car shop next to the hospital to find Lu Hao.
On the way, the two passed a bulletin board plastered with recruitnt notices and announcents, which also displayed the lecture schedule Liang Jiuhui had just ntioned. A crowd of people was bustling in front of the board, engaged in heated discussions.
“Isn’t that interesting, a lecture for the Wood elent? Are they going to teach how to farm?”
A dismissive voice carried over.
“Where, where? Oh, there really is one, but why is it scheduled at the very end?”
“Isn’t that obvious? Who would attend a lecture about farming?”
“Hilarious, I’m really curious who the lecturer will be.”
Passing by, Su Jin: …
“Xiao Jin, don’t stoop to their level. Let’s not waste our anger on this.”
Lin Tianhui quickly consoled her, not expecting even a walk could lead them to encounter such gossips.
“Don’t worry, Mom, I’m not upset. It’s true that the Wood elent isn’t very useful currently.”
In fact, Liang Jiuhui’s placent of the Wood elent lecture at the end wasn’t out of disdain for the Wood elent, but because at the ti of scheduling, he wasn’t sure whether Su Jin would agree to be the lecturer. He scheduled the Wood elent last to buy ti to persuade Su Jin, not expecting it to be misunderstood by everyone.
…
The Base Hospital was reached quickly, and the newly constructed hospital looked clean. However, Lin Tianhui knew that inside, it was even cleaner—aside from a few beds and tables, there really was nothing else…
Fortunately, there were a few healers like herself who could treat the sick, though the dicinal supplies in Yao Yi’s dical kit had long been depleted…
After bidding farewell to Lin Tianhui, who had to go to work, Su Jin easily found the garage that Lu Hao had ntioned.
Ban Xiaobo and others seed to be in the middle of a discussion with Lu Hao when he noticed Su Jin outside and imdiately stood up to walk over.
“Everything settled?”
Lu Hao’s gentle tone made Ban Xiaobo and the others behind him feel a twinge of jealousy, as Lu Hao hadn’t been speaking to them with that tone just monts before.
“All done~”
Su Jin smiled and made an OK gesture, then she started to look around the garage. The so-called garage was actually just an empty room with a desk placed inside.
It looked even more desolate than the Heart Talk Convenience Store…
Su Jin suddenly found a sense of balance here.
“Are people coming in for car repairs now?” Su Jin couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, yes, there have been clients these past two days,” Ban Xiaobo said excitedly.
Because of the importance of Crystal Cores, people in the base had begun forming teams to go out and kill zombies. It was most dangerous to do so without a car, and although these teams could scavenge vehicles for free on the roadside, the cars often suffered problems after returning from a zombie hunt.
The garage next to the hospital ca into play at such tis, offering services for both the injured—people went to the hospital for healing—and the broken vehicles that ca to the garage for repairs.
“And we also sell second-hand cars,”
Ban Xiaobo said with a wink. Those second-hand cars had been scavenged by them from the roadside in the past few days, available to teams who wanted to leave the base but didn’t have a vehicle.
Su Jin listened, dumbfounded. Cars from the roadside could be picked up and sold?
That sounds like a money-making idea!
