Chapter 351: Base Coins

"Ugh!" Yao Ran groaned, covering her mask with her hand.

Seeing her discomfort, Long Yu said, "Maybe you should go back first. I can check this place alone."

Yao Ran shook her head. "No, I'm fine."

She pulled a more effective respiratory mask from her space and put it on. Then, offering another to Long Yu, she asked, "Do you want to change yours?"

Long Yu declined, so Yao Ran returned the spare mask to her space. Relieved that she no longer needed to hide her spatial ability, she was in a good mood.

Holding Long Yu's hand, she said, "Let's go."

Now that the smell no longer bothered her, Yao Ran focused on observing her surroundings.

The trading market was lively, and the lifting of the fog brought a renewed sense of life to the base.

Some commercial buildings were freshly decorated, while others were bare, with their brickwork exposed. Stores displayed an array of items, with clothes crammed into windows and daily necessities spread on long tables.

As they wandered deeper into the market, Yao Ran noticed a stall selling mutated plants. Her interest was piqued, and she approached the stall.

Squatting down in front of the cloth used to display the goods, she asked the stall owner, "Uncle, do you know what kind of plant this is?"

The stall owner eyed her attire for a moment and decided that she wasn't someone he could offend. Politely, he replied, "I don't know their names. My son found them on his outing yesterday."

Yao Ran picked up a plant, examining its purple stems closely. A second later, her eyes flickered with surprise.

Noticing her reaction, the stall owner quickly added, "Miss, these plants aren't poisonous. My family has eaten them before. They are crunchy and taste like bamboo shoots."

Standing beside her, Long Yu asked, "Uncle, how much are these plants?"

As soon as Long Yu asked his question, the stall owner's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Two base coins for one kilogram."

Hearing this, Yao Ran asked curiously, "Uncle, what are base coins?"

The stall owner looked at her and asked in return, "Miss, have you just arrived here?"

Yao Ran nodded, prompting the stall owner to smile and comment, "No wonder you don't know about base coins."

He then took out a card from his waist bag and showed it to Yao Ran and Long Yu.

"This is the identity card issued by the base. Besides storing our personal information, it also works like a bank card. If you want to earn base coins, you can go to the public office to exchange materials for them. If you don't have the materials, you can find a job. The base pays salaries in base coins."

Listening to his explanation, Yao Ran took out her own identity card and examined it.

Noticing that her card was different from the stall owner's, she asked, "Uncle, how do I check how many base coins I have?"

The stall owner pointed to a nearby stall and said, "Do you see that booth? That is where you can check your base coins balance. If you want to buy something, you can go there to transfer the base coins and then come back to collect the goods."

Li Zhen smiled broadly and replied, "We have been well, Captain." _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
