"Where have you been?"
Liu You'er glanced coldly at Xuan Mo and said lightly, "You saw it all."
Hearing her indifferent tone, Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow and glanced in Wang Luojie's direction, then fell silent.
Somewhere in B City Base
"Xuanxuan~ Look, look~ This is the bracelet I just found. It's so rare to see something like this in the apocalypse!"
The girl called Xuanxuan turned her head at the sound, causing Li Xiong to be amazed once again. He thought to himself: Even though I see her every day, my Xuanxuan is still so beautiful~~~.
The girl was already pretty, but under the sunlight, her skin looked like jade, and her demeanor was serene, as radiant as a rose. However, at that moment, she seemed a bit unhappy, frowning as she looked at him.
Seeing her expression, Li Xiong hesitated and walked up to her, scratching his head as he asked, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"
The girl glanced at the bracelet in his hand, her soft tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"Did you steal this?"
"Ah?!"
Li Xiong was taken aback and cursed the snitch in his mind. He smiled obsequiously and said, "No way! I bought this for 1 gold coin! Who told you such nonsense?"
Upon hearing this, the girl scrutinized him for a moment before relaxing her brow and picking up the bracelet to examine it.
"Even though we are friends, you don't need to give me gifts all the time. Please don't send me anything in the future."
Li Xiong heard the word "friend," his expression darkened for a moment, then he smiled and said, "No need to go to such trouble~ Haha~ I'll be leaving now, see you tomorrow~"
Xuanxuan smiled and nodded, watching Li Xiong leave.
"Creek"
The door opened, and a girl looked at Li Xiong as he left, disdainfully saying, "Sis~ That person is coming to find you again, really clueless!"
The girl who came out had striking features and was full of vitality, but her sharp tongue ruined her beauty.
"Xin Lian, how can you say that? It's really too..."
"Oh come on, I know my sister is kind. I'm going to find Dad, that's fine, right? I heard someone from L Base is here today. I want to see if anyone is as handsome as my Chuze~"
Liu Xinxuan caught her words, a fleeting cold light flashed in her eyes, but it was too quick for Liu Xinlian to notice. She simply said "goodbye" and happily walked away.
On the street
Liu You'er had memorized several main routes and was just about to head back when suddenly a reflection caught her eye, prompting her to look towards a stall in the corner.
As she approached, she discovered it was just some low-level Evolved Beast Cores, and was about to leave when a dark red Crystal caught her attention. It was round, only the size of a coin, but it looked quite exquisite with a nice sheen. She picked it up to examine it and found it was just an ordinary crystal.
Xuan Mo watched what Liu You'er was holding and felt no energy fluctuations from it. Assuming she simply liked it, he didn't pay much attention. However, when he looked up again, he saw a girl walking straight to the stall and pointing at the Crystal in Liu You'er's hand saying, "I want this!"
Seeing the girl's face and then looking at Liu You'er, Xuan Mo wore an expression of amusement as he stepped aside to join the crowd watching the scene unfold.
"Liu Xinlian!"
Liu You'er was taken aback, staring blankly at her. Her first instinct was to cover her face but then she remembered she had changed her appearance and relaxed her fist, doubts flashing through her mind.
"How is she here! Then..."
Liu Xinlian looked at Liu You'er in a daze, thinking she recognized her, as if generously waving her hand and saying, "Just give me the item and leave~ I won't hold it against you."
"Heh heh!"
Liu You'er rolled her eyes at her in her heart, directly ignoring her, and turned back to ask the Boss how much it was.
But while Liu You'er could ignore her, the Boss could not!
Liu Xinlian was not only the daughter of the Commander’s deputy but also the sister of Rose; who would dare to provoke her! So, he could only glance awkwardly at Liu You'er and choose not to respond.
"Hmph~"
Liu Xinlian looked at the stall owner with some satisfaction, took out a silver coin from her pocket and threw it over, saying, "This is enough; I'm taking it!"
Then, she extended her hand towards Liu You'er, wiggling her fingers, hinting that Liu You'er should quickly give it to her.
In her heart, she thought that this crystal matched Chuze's temperament perfectly. If she set it in a pen and gave it to him, he would definitely like it. Just thinking about Chuze using something she gave him made her want to jump with excitement.
However, after waiting for a while and noticing that Liu You'er still hadn't given her the crystal, she instead pulled out a gold ring from her pocket and asked the stall owner, "How much is this worth?"
The stall owner trembled as he took it and examined it for a moment. His eyes lit up as he said, "One piece—no, two gold coins!"
In B City Base, currency was based on gold, silver, and copper. One gold coin was equivalent to twenty silver coins, and one silver coin was equivalent to fifty copper coins. Generally speaking, an ordinary person could get by with two silver coins a month; if he got this ring, he could live comfortably for at least a year.
"Oh, here you go~"
"What?!"
Liu You'er looked at the surprised vendor. Although she was unclear about the currency situation at the base, she only needed to know that she paid more than Liu Xinlian.
"You!"
"You can choose to pay more."
Liu You'er provocatively stared at Liu Xinlian, her tone icy. This made Liu Xinlian stomp her feet in anger, but unfortunately, she didn't have that much money with her. She could only point at Liu You'er and threaten, "Just you wait!" before leaving in a huff.
"Hmph, still so brainless. But if she's here, doesn't that mean her whole family is here too?"
"B City Base... really bustling."
Inside the independent building
"Xuan Mo."
"Mm?"
"Our destination isn't the research institute you mentioned; it's here, right?"
Xuan Mo had been sitting on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. Upon hearing this, a wicked smile crept onto his lips.
"How could it be? Of course, it's the research institute~ It's just that..."
"Just what?"
"Heh,"
Xuan Mo leaned close to Liu You'er’s ear and whispered, "It's just that the doctor still needs you to show him some sincerity..."
"Ring, ring, ring."
A bell rang, breaking the tense atmosphere between the two. Xuan Mo returned to his original position, continuing to stare at the ceiling, while Liu You'er frowned and picked up the phone, which displayed the words "Blaze."
"Hello?"
Liu You'er answered the call in a detached tone, while Xuan Mo appeared indifferent but was actually listening intently.
"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning at ten to meet the Commander."
As soon as the words were spoken, a beeping sound came from the phone. Xuan Mo heard it and remarked, "This person is really straightforward."
Liu You'er glanced at him without saying anything and returned to her room.
"Ding, ding, ding."
The alarm rang at two o'clock. In the living room, Xuan Mo's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he squinted slightly. He sat up, stretched lazily, opened Liu You'er's bedroom door, saw her sleeping, and playfully flicked her forehead before stepping into the night and walking out...
At the same time, Liu You'er opened her eyes. She pulled back the covers and noticed she was wearing a black leather outfit that looked sharp and capable. In the next moment, she vanished from her spot...
