Chapter 470: 260 Scolding (First Update)

The clerk looked at Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin, who seemed to be timid and noticed that the energy fluctuations of the two were very weak. He figured they must be those with poor talent, hardly worth cultivating.

He disdainfully tugged at the corner of his mouth, not thinking highly of people who were destined to have no future. However, he was very cautious and didn’t immediately agree to their request. Instead, he sternly said, "I don’t care when you awakened, but since you have become superpower users, you must fill out the information truthfully!"

Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin had no choice but to take out the few Crystal Cores they had left, hoping that the clerk would make an exception for them. They were only able to produce about ten Crystal Cores combined, which the clerk didn’t value. But considering the weak energy fluctuations from the two, he nodded, indicating his agreement.

After all, these two wouldn’t achieve much and had no value to cultivate. If they themselves didn’t want to enjoy the privileges of superpower users, why should he care?

After taking the Crystal Cores, he gave them a stern warning, then finally let them enter the next room to have their blood tested.

Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin had been silent the whole time, quietly observing the scene. It wasn’t until then that Fang Yuxin spoke up, "We came here looking for a friend. Could you help us find out where she is?"

The clerk glanced at her quickly and said, without much enthusiasm, "If you want to find someone, go to the Task Hall. There, you can pay a certain number of Crystal Cores to have a clerk look up resident information. If they can’t be found, you can post a task or a missing person notice."

In other words, they wouldn’t be able to find what they needed here but would have to go to the so-called Task Hall.

Fang Yuxin thanked him and, along with Bai Ye, turned to enter the second room to queue for blood testing.

The blood testing was done quickly, just a drop of blood on testing paper would yield the result. When they arrived, there were only about five people ahead of them in line. This time, the two didn’t interfere with the process. There weren’t many people in their group, so the testing was completed swiftly, and none were infected with the Zombie Virus.

As they left, two men were standing outside, apparently waiting for them. One of them was the driver who had spoken to Bai Ye before. When he saw Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin emerge, a smile appeared on his face, and in a friendly manner, he said, "I remember you two came here looking for someone. You’re new here, and probably not familiar with this place, so how about I take you to the Task Hall?"

The man had clearly waited there intentionally, likely with the aim of currying favor. After he offered, Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin found it hard to refuse and accepted. The rest of their group decided not to follow them but planned to find out more about the Base, to find a place to stay.

Zhao Yan, Liu Zhenglin, and the Qian family, although wanting to follow Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, realized that the two were on a mission to find someone and felt it wasn’t right to tag along. So they decided to join the others and gather information about the Base first before making any further plans.

The two groups parted ways. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin followed the driver and his companion to the Task Hall, which was not far away; a short drive quickly brought them there.

The Task Hall was quite large, and it was obvious that it had once been used as a bank. Because it was late, there weren’t many people inside; clerks were still at the counters, using small, energy-saving rechargeable lamps.

Such lamps weren’t very bright. Before the apocalypse, only students or street vendors would use them at night, but now they had to make do to save electricity.

Each window had a small sign indicating the service it provided. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin scanned them and immediately went to the window labeled "Inquiry Desk." The clerk there was a young woman who looked up and asked, "What would you like to know?" her tone somewhat aloof.

Bai Ye stayed silent as Fang Yuxin said, "I’m looking for a friend, can you help me look her up?"

The clerk, obviously used to handling such requests, showed no surprise and efficiently replied, "One Basic-level Crystal Core."

Fang Yuxin took out a Basic-level Crystal Core and threw it into the small window on the counter. After the clerk collected it, she asked, "Name, gender, age."

Fang Yuxin immediately said, "Li Qingyun, female, 25 years old. Do you have this person?"

The clerk didn’t answer but started typing rapidly on the computer. Soon after, she looked up and said, "Found her. For ten Basic-level Crystal Cores, I’ll give you her address."
