Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 268 Registering the Team

Everyone had gotten used to Su Jin and Lu Hao coming back from Liang Jiuhui with Crystal Cores, so the fact that there were only two hundred today was hardly surprising. After all, Su Jin had simply gone to answer a question, without any tasks to perform, so everyone still thought it was a good deal.

“Sister Xiao Jin, is there really a Mental Element Ability User?”

Mao Qiqi asked excitedly, finally someone of the same element as hers had appeared!

“Yes, but her Mental Element Ability seems a bit different from yours. You two should exchange experiences when you have the chance,” Su Jin said with a smile.

“Mhm!”

...

Mrs. Su and Lin Tianhui once again went into detail about the new policies at the base for everyone.

The consensus was clear; they had no intention of participating in the conscription assessments. Since there were rewards for forming teams and extra missions available, they definitely planned to register a team. With their current number of people, forming a team was no problem at all.

“Remember to bring your points cards tomorrow. These points cards also serve as your identity verification, to save you the trouble of running back and forth.”

Lin Tianhui reminded them that since the news had come out today, many people had scrambled to form teams, and quite a few had forgotten to bring their points cards and had to go back for them.

The points cards had been distributed within the base, with one point being equivalent to one Crystal Core. Those who wanted to exchange Crystal Cores for points could do so with their Crystal Cores, although they themselves had no such need. Since they didn’t need to eat in the base cafeteria or pay rent, the points were essentially useless to them.

However, one of the more humane regulations was that if the points on the card went unused, they could be converted back into Crystal Cores, but the cardholder had to do the exchange personally, to prevent theft of the card or any foul play.

At night, after Su Jin entered her Space, she, as usual, let the Space absorb 50 Crystal Cores. She had become numb to it; ever since her Space had upgraded, she observed that the Space required at least 50 Crystal Cores a day to keep the grey fog that had receded far from the creek from advancing. Otherwise, the fog would still slowly creep forward.

In the beginning, when she daily allowed the Space to absorb these Crystal Cores, she had felt pained. But now, after so many days, she felt she had gradually become desensitized to it.

“Uncle Nie, this Space sure consumes a lot of Crystal Cores,” Su Jin couldn’t help but complain to Nie Qing, who was still eating watermelon.

“Don’t be too sad, girl, I remember my Ancestral Master once said that the Mustard Seed Spaces of the ancestors initially required the consumption of Spiritual Power to maintain. But once they reached a certain level, the Space could be maintained permanently. Perhaps this Wood Spirit Space is the same kind as the Mustard Seed Space mentioned by the Ancestral Master,” Nie Qing consoled her.

“Really? Then what level is that certain level?”

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn’t help but get excited. A permanent maintenance was something she eagerly looked forward to!

“I really don’t know,”

apologized Nie Qing. However, he always felt that this Space would one day upgrade to the maximum level, and perhaps that maximum level was this “certain level.”

Su Jin also felt a bit more relieved. She was being too impatient. Now even Lu Hao, who usually didn’t care about money, was asking Liang Jiuhui for Crystal Cores on her behalf. Prior to the apocalypse, that guy couldn’t even remember how much was in his own savings.

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo continued to be concerned about Mao Qiqi’s condition. Today, when Mao Zhihang carried Mao Qiqi into the Lu Residence, both of them were nearly scared out of their wits, only calming down after they learned that Qiqi had merely overexerted her special ability.

“Our Qiqi is amazing now; she can even protect mommy,” Li Xiuying said, combing Mao Qiqi’s freshly washed long hair.
