Chapter 604: Chapter 604: Bu Hong’s Sincerity
After becoming the Base Leader, Bu Hong naturally had many waiting to see him fail, but his actions shocked Chen Liang and others.
The normal supply of food and beverages in the base changed from only accepting Mutated Crystal Cores as paynt to also accepting Ordinary Crystal Cores.
“Commander Bu, if you do this, the base’s resources will be very hard to maintain,”
Chen Liang reminded him with feigned goodwill.
“The matter of resources is a major issue for our base, but there’s another big issue, which is the overall lack of strength of our Special Ability Users. I’m aware of the Han Family you ntioned—our base doesn’t need to enrich others at our expense,”
Bu Hong’s statent left Chen Liang speechless, yet it excited those who were eager to manage the base well.
Which base isn’t lacking in resources?
F City Base, with its large population, was forced to beco a vassal to others—how embarrassing a situation!
“Then, Commander Bu, if our base’s resource supply doesn’t rely on B City, then…”
Guo You tentatively asked; he was sowhat apprehensive that his question might trouble Bu Hong, but as part of the logistics managent, he had to be concerned about the base’s resource levels.
“Everyone, don’t worry too much about this for now. The resources of F City Base will of course rely on us, the True Martial Sect,”
Bu Hong said with a smile.
Guo You and Wen Zhixin both saw the surprise in each other’s eyes. So the base could actually be self-sufficient in resources after all, and Liu Jianyuan just took the most infuriating path possible?!
Bu Hong forced a smile. Long Aotian and the others hinted, both overtly and subtly, that they didn’t want to attract attention, so Bu Hong simply decided to shoulder the responsibility himself under the esteed na of True Martial Sect—it’s just that Long Aotian and his group…
Could they maintain a long-term cooperation with the True Martial Sect?
Therefore, Bu Hong sought out Long Aotian and Chen Daming with a mix of eagerness and apprehension.
“You’re giving us this western-style house?”
Lin Xiuyuan never expected Bu Hong to be so generous after becoming the Base Leader. They were quite fond of this small western-style house, and if Bu Hong gifted it to them, they could avoid the trouble of finding a new place to stay every ti they visited.
“Yes, and it’s a permanent gift. Here is the deed of gift,”
Bu Hong said as he handed over two agreents with a smile.
Lu Hao glanced over the agreent, which was simple and clear, with no confusing or unclear clauses.
Su Jin, who was listening from inside the room, was also surprised by the developnts. It seed that their previous struggles hadn’t been in vain, and this Bu Hong also knew how to get things done.
“Thank you so much, Brother Bu,”
Lin Xiuyuan said, joyfully.
“It’s only right. These are all things I should do, it’s just…”
Bu Hong seed sowhat embarrassed.
“Just what? Brother Bu, rest assured, as long as it’s within my power, I will definitely not disappoint you,”
Lin Xiuyuan promised heartily.
“I’m just still a little worried about the base’s resource situation. Xiao Tian previously ntioned a long-term cooperation with our base—can you guarantee it?”
Bu Hong asked earnestly.
“Of course, we must be able to. Why, Brother Bu, don’t you believe our previous promise?”
Lin Xiuyuan was puzzled by Bu Hong’s concern; why was he being so fussy?
“Mr. Bu, if you’re not reassured, you might as well exchange all the Crystal Cores in the base for supplies with us,”
Lu Hao suddenly suggested. It was only natural for him to be cautious. Better to exchange more resources with them; having enough reserve supplies in the base could afford them a much longer peace of mind, right?
“Really?!”
Bu Hong was sowhat incredulous. The inventory of Crystal Cores in F City Base was no small amount. Even if Long Aotian and his group didn’t return in the future, Bu Hong would suffer no loss—after all, he couldn’t force them to make a blood oath, could he?
“Of course, to show our sincerity,”
Lu Hao said with a smile.
“Then I will confirm the number of Crystal Cores in the base tomorrow, and if they can all be exchanged for supplies here with Xiao Tian, Mr. Bu would be extrely grateful,”
Having achieved his objective, Bu Hong also got up, preparing to leave.
“Mr. Bu, there’s one more piece of advice,”
Lu Hao called out to Bu Hong, doing his best to offer a warning.
“What advice?”
Bu Hong asked, curious.
“Be wary of the Han Family from B city. Moreover, there should also be people from the Han Family within your base. If anyone inquires about anything concerning us, please, Mr. Bu, try to keep it confidential. As the saying goes, ‘the tall tree catches the wind.’ We simply wish to operate freely as material suppliers and have no desire to get involved in those disputes,”
Lu Hao said earnestly, looking straight at Bu Hong.
Bu Hong was sowhat shocked; indeed, he had just taken office and had been busy dealing with so leftover affairs within the base, completely neglecting to consider that the Han Family could be the most affected by these events and might very well want to reclaim their power – an aspect he had previously overlooked.
As for Chen Daming’s request, it seed easy to agree to, but he also understood that if he wanted these few people to truly feel at ease, it wouldn’t actually be that simple.
“Understood, I will think of counterasures and give Brother Chen a solid reply within two days,”
Bu Hong promised.
After Bu Hong left, Su Jin ca out and couldn’t help but give Lu Hao a thumbs up, feeling that they were about to receive a significant amount of Crystal Cores!
“Does this an this place will be our second base from now on?”
Su Jin joked, then tossed the storage bag, which was filled with supplies once more, to Lin Xiuyuan. She had also co to help restock goods for a household on the way.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect Bu Hong to be so generous. It seems we didn’t help the wrong person,”
Lin Xiuyuan said, receiving the storage bag.
“Captain Lin is becoming more and more like a captain. Keep it up, and rember to co work tonight,”
Su Jin said with a smile. Another batch of crops had ripened in the Space, and although leaving them alone for a while wouldn’t pose any problems, ti in the Space is Crystal Cores, and she didn’t want to waste it.
The consumption of supplies in the Space had been huge recently, and it was unknown how many base Crystal Cores Bu Hong would offer to purchase supplies. It seed their warehouse was finally going to decrease by one room.
“Got it, got it. Ah, when it’s quiet, it’s dead quiet, but when it’s busy, it’s crazy busy. Man, it’s tough~~”
Lin Xiuyuan sighed as he walked out.
Su Jin couldn’t help but laugh. Lately, Lin Xiuyuan had beco quite a bit more robust. Although he had a plain face, his figure was entirely different from the bean sprout-like build he had back in H city.
“I wonder what kind of girlfriend Lin Xiuyuan will find in the future,”
Su Jin mused, leaning on the sofa.
“Being his girlfriend would be exhausting,” said Lu Hao, stroking his chin.
“Why?” Su Jin asked, puzzled.
“Because… he doesn’t even know how to wash his socks,”
Lu Hao rembered helping Lin Xiuyuan wash his socks alongside Huang Yunxiang, who had complained at the ti that Lin Xiuyuan, being so old, still couldn’t wash his socks and underwear on his own and acted like a child.
“Cough cough, he was just a high school student before,”
Su Jin also felt embarrassed for her cousin; indeed, Lin Xiuyuan was just like that.
“I started doing my own laundry when I was in elentary school,”
Lu Hao boasted.
Su Jin: “…”
“Back then, I even had to stand on a stool to cook for myself,”
Lu Hao continued bragging.
Watching Lu Hao show off, Su Jin couldn’t help but imagine the young Lu Hao standing at a tall stove wielding a large wok, an image that sohow made her feel pity.
