Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Gifting Crystal Core

The sizes of the crystal cores varied, and it even looked like they included cores from all the elements, but most importantly, there were many wood-element crystal cores inside!

“These crystal cores were all gathered by my team during previous battles. Some of the mutated nuclei did not match their abilities, so no one absorbed them and they just stayed with me. Now I don’t need them anymore, and hope they can be of help to you,”

Wang Zhu said with a bitter smile, by now only Zhang Chuyang and he were left in the team, and these mutated nuclei were really of no use.

“I’ll take them, don’t worry. Once we reach the S City base, I’ve got your back,”

Su Jin accepted the crystal cores without any fuss, after all, it was a box of mutated nuclei! There must have been at least a thousand of them inside. How many ordinary nuclei could that amount to?!

Wang Zhu just smiled, he didn’t really care much about Su Jin’s words. He knew Su Jin was formidable, and that maybe they’d have some questions for Su Jin and his team once they reached the base, but he had never thought about relying on Su Jin to cover for them.

In this apocalypse, whoever had resources was guarding them fiercely, even among close relatives, many were secretly hoarding, Zhang Chuyang had been grateful for Su Jin’s hospitality of offering them some precious food these past few days, so that’s why he thought of giving the box of crystal cores to Su Jin.

After Wang Zhu returned to his room, Su Jin excitedly looked at the box of mutated crystal cores.

There were many wood-element crystal cores, as well as ice-element and thunder-element! There were even some metal-element and healing-element ones!

It truly was a rare find…

Su Jin didn’t absorb the crystal cores immediately but put them into a storage bag, planning to absorb them after returning to the S City base.

And once back at the base, she also planned to upgrade her space!

This time she could really afford to use crystal cores for the upgrade. Just at Xing Taian’s, she had sold resources amounting to over eighty thousand crystal cores, and there were also the eighty thousand reward crystal cores given by Liang Jiuhui, along with some they fought for on the road…

This mission trip was truly a lucrative one!

Indeed, in the apocalypse, it was necessary to keep moving to gain rewards. Now even Lu Hao was close to advancing.

Thinking of Lu Hao, Su Jin locked the door before she felt relaxed enough to enter her space.

“Hey, girl, you finally came in, everyone has been waiting for you,” Nie Qing said.

“Waiting for me? Is there something good?”

Su Jin asked with a smile. She hadn’t been in her space much these past two days. Seeing the bustling family inside the space made her already good mood even better.

Su Xiangzhe informed Su Jin about the base’s upcoming assessment of the Mercenary Corps.

Liang Jiuhui had already repeatedly sent people to the Base Hospital or to Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi to inquire about Su Jin and the others.

But Liao Yifan and Xue Wanyi genuinely didn’t know when Su Jin and her group would return, and although Lin Tianhui knew, she had to act as if she knew nothing.

It seemed that Liang Jiuhui was really worried they wouldn’t make it back for this assessment.

“Xiao Jin, are we going to participate?” Lin Tianhui asked.

“Participate, definitely participate,”

Su Jin answered without hesitation.

She hadn’t expected the Mercenary Corps’ rating to start so soon.

In her previous life, this rating would slowly become national, and the level judged would be valid nationwide, such as if they obtained an S rating at this base, it would still be effective even if they went to other bases.

“So what’s the use of this rating?”

Mao Qiqi asked while drinking the peach yogurt made by her aunt, Huang Yunxiang.

“Well, it just sounds cool, doesn’t it?” Lin Xiuyuan said while leaning back on a lounge chair.

“Right, simply put, it’s about gaining prestige for your team, and once the prestige goes up, wealth… naturally follows,”

Su Jin also grabbed a cup of peach yogurt and started drinking.

In her previous life, the whole nation knew of no more than about ten S-rank teams, and those two letters “S-rank” brought numerous benefits to those teams.

They could not only take on missions from their own base, but other bases would also offer them handsome sums to undertake missions.

Among those S-rank teams, there were two particularly formidable ones, and many bases would seek them out for high-reward or important missions, even going as far as to bid against each other when mission timelines clashed, vying for their selection.

“Wow, that cool?!”

Lin Xiuyuan couldn’t help but sit up straight after hearing this.

The family looked at each other in surprise after hearing this; could they really just pick any mission they wanted?

And there were also people begging them to take money to do missions?

It sounded pretty great!

“I heard that people from City B have brought several top-notch experts, only middle-rank teams or above are eligible, and they still need to compete with those experts to qualify,” Mao Zhihang said. Although Guo Yang’s shop had stopped selling items the past few days, its doors had been constantly open because the seats inside Heart Talk Store were always full. People exchanged information they had heard there, and he often went there to listen in when he had nothing else to do.

“Do you know what elements or levels they are?” Su Jin asked.

She didn’t know how the Mercenary Corps’ levels were determined and hadn’t expected that they would need to compete against people they hadn’t met. It would be useful to know their levels and elements.

“Don’t know”

Everyone shook their heads together.

Well, if they were successful, they might even reach the base by tomorrow. They could talk about this issue then, since they were definitely going to participate in the Mercenary Corps’ grading assessment.

As usual, after absorbing fifty crystal cores into her space, Su Jin no longer felt much stinginess. Her aunt had said that Guo Yang had made tens of thousands of crystal cores from his shop recently, and with their mission rewards, their team should now have around two hundred thousand crystal cores.

With that amount… they could probably be considered wealthy, right?

Su Jin thought contentedly, knowing that Lu Hao was still in the room leveling up, she did not disturb him. Instead, she lay on the lounge chair in her space, half-resting and half-chatting idly with Li Xiuying.

“Did Xiuyuan mention that everyone at Freedom Dawn Base has turned into zombies?”

Li Xiuying stopped knitting her sweater to ask.

“Yes, that’s right, the sanitary conditions there were too poor, attracting zombie cockroaches, and overnight…”

Thinking her grandmother might get sentimental again, Su Jin was surprised when Li Xiuying simply commented, “Luckily those two kids left that place, that dog really saved their lives.”

Su Jin knew her grandmother was talking about Wan Peng and Wan Li, and she couldn’t help but agree.

“Absolutely, if Ah Wang knew, he would be happy too,” Lin Xiuyuan remarked from nearby, touched by how a dog had changed the fate of two people.

“Lin Xiuyuan, are you about to advance a level soon?”

Su Jin suddenly thought of the box of mutated crystal nuclei and asked.

“Yeah, I think it should happen within this month, but I need to use my special ability every day.”

Lin Xiuyuan had mentioned this in the car earlier, and Su Jin had remembered.

“Hmm, Wang Zhu just gave me a lot of mutated crystal nuclei, and some of them are ice-element crystal cores. Try to level up one more level before our team participates in the assessment,” Su Jin said thoughtfully, wondering if the ice-element crystal cores from their recent battles added to those Wang Zhu had given would be enough for Lin Xiuyuan to successfully level up.
