Chapter 518: Chapter Five Hundred and Eighteen: Collaborative Management

"Your next step is to practice your speed,"

Su Jin said to Yin Chengtian.

"Speed?"

Yin Chengtian was puzzled. Was she talking about reaction speed?

"The speed of your special ability,, whether you can launch an offensive with your ability, speed is the key. Right now, you can only use the Wood Element defensively because you’re too slow at summoning it,"

Su Jin explained patiently. Yin Chengtian’s expression changed as if a sudden realization had hit him, and he immediately had a new goal to strive for.

However, after dinner, Xue Wanyi realized he was experiencing a familiar sensation. Could it be that he was about to advance a level?

"Here, take these and strive for Level Five,"

Lu Hao had taken out a few Wind Element Crystal Cores that Su Jin had given him and handed them to Xue Wanyi. Absorbing some Crystal Cores before advancing could greatly increase the chances of a successful level-up.

"Don’t worry, I got this,"

Xue Wanyi took the Crystal Cores and bid everyone farewell before heading to the secondary residence.

"I might also advance in the next few days,"

Su Jin said.

"Really, Su Jin? If you advance again, wouldn’t that mean... Level Seven?!"

Lin Xiuyuan said with great envy, wondering why he was still stuck at Level Five.

"Level Five is a watershed, and it’s easy to hit a bottleneck there. Don’t worry,"

Su Jin comforted him. At this stage, Level Five was already quite impressive. In the last world around this time, Level Five was the highest level. Moreover, Lin Xiuyuan’s Special Ability Level was genuinely earned; he only absorbed Crystal Cores when his abilities were depleted or when he was on the verge of leveling up.

"Alright... I guess I’ll have to wait until next year,"

Lin Xiuyuan said dejectedly, hugging a pillow.

"Speaking of next year, it really is almost the New Year, isn’t it? Just don’t know if people still think of celebrating it,"

Mao Zhihang said. According to the current lunar calendar in Huaxia, it would soon be the New Year.

"It doesn’t matter if others celebrate or not, we certainly will,"

Su Jin said while looking at the calendar. With so many of them together, even just celebrating within their own doors would be lively.

Liao Yifan immediately brightened up.

It’s New Year’s! In the past, he was always alone watching others celebrate the New Year in high spirits, but this year, he could celebrate with everyone. It was the first time he looked forward to the New Year.

New Year?

Lian Jiyue had also been quietly listening to everyone’s conversation. The word seemed familiar, yet he couldn’t fully remember what it meant.

"Xiao Yue, the New Year is when everyone comes together to celebrate, to share joy, and to welcome the start of a new year. People who like you will give you new clothes, and you’ll celebrate with everyone,"

Mao Qiqi explained softly beside Lian Jiyue. She wasn’t quite clear on the specifics either, but after this New Year, Xiao Yue would surely understand!

Yet Lian Jiyue etched Mao Qiqi’s words deeply into his heart...

...

Liang Jiuhui originally intended to come with Song Sibo today to deliver Crystal Cores to the Heart Talk Team, but he was far too angry today. Had it not been for Sheng Jing and Li Haochu holding him back, he would have wanted to kick Han Yue out of S City’s base right away.

Han Yue and Liang Jiuhui had officially met.

The conversation between the two was not very pleasant, as Han Yue had unexpectedly proposed that B-city and Liang Jiuhui manage the S-city base together.

"Base Leader Liang, isn’t it good for B-city and S-city to prosper and develop together, to discuss management methods jointly?"

Han Yue asked bluntly.

"The S-city base doesn’t belong to anyone, B-city’s decisions will be implemented along with other bases, but I refuse joint management."

Although Liang Jiuhui’s expression did not change, he had already cursed Han Yue thoroughly in his heart.

Joint management sounds good, but it really means they want to get their hands on the management of the S-city base openly.

"Perhaps Base Leader Liang should reconsider. During the early stages of the apocalypse, our B-city took over the national grain reserves, and you must know that the national grain storage was prepared according to the total population of the country before the apocalypse, and it’s sufficient for the entire population to eat for several years."

When Han Yue had persuaded other base leaders in the past, most of them had been defeated by their craving for supplies. Such a large base as S-city, not having any grain reserves before the apocalypse, must have a significant demand for supplies as well.

To his surprise, Liang Jiuhui just laughed and said to Han Yue, "Well, congratulations then, but for the time being, our S-city base does not lack food and supplies. Mr. Han might want to stay a little longer at our base to see for himself."

"Oh? That’s truly rare. But I still urge Base Leader Liang to think it over."

Han Yue still refused to give up easily. He had even brought 20 Advanced Special Ability Users and a large amount of special ability enhancer drugs to add more chips to persuade Liang Jiuhui.

It’s a pity that all was ruined by this blizzard, and the Space Element Ability User carrying the drugs was devoured by zombies.

"I just want to know, does Mr. Han represent your own intentions or the whole of B-city?"

Liang Jiuhui asked deliberately.

Don’t think that he was unaware of B-city’s situation.

Caught somewhat off guard, Han Yue did not know how to respond, but thinking of the long journey back to B-city, he still looked at Liang Jiuhui and answered, "I naturally represent B-city, wanting to prosper and develop well with the S-city base."

"I see, but I’m afraid I will have to disappoint Mr. Han’s good intentions."

Liang Jiuhui looked completely unimpressed, wanting to use supplies to coerce him? Moreover, as far as he knew, the resource control in B-city was in the hands of the Wei Family.

"With the blizzard today, Han will be troubling your base for a while longer. I believe Base Leader Liang will take my opinions into consideration during this time,"

Han Yue said as he was about to leave, wanting to see if S-city really was not lacking in supplies, as Liang Jiuhui had claimed.

It was not until Sheng Jing told him that Han Yue had left that Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help but start cursing at the door.

Are the people of the Han family from B-city crazy? Who wants to share their prosperity with them? If he had known Han Yue had such intentions, he should have taken his life when those few were still unconscious!

"It’s no use, even if you took his life, they would probably send a second Han Yue."

Sheng Jing said this after hearing a torrent of complaints from Liang Jiuhui.

"This Wei Junhao, why didn’t he tell me beforehand? If I had known Han Yue’s intentions, I wouldn’t have allowed him to see me!"

Liang Jiuhui thought of Wei Junhao’s carefree appearance in the hospital and immediately felt his anger surge.

"Mr. Wei seems to have been frequently visiting the Heart Talk Branch these past two days, spending the whole day there today,"

Sheng Jing mentioned.

"..."

Liang Jiuhui was somewhat speechless, this kid was quite the opposite of Han Yue – he really came with the intention of taking a vacation!

"Anyway, the next time this Mr. Han comes looking for me, just say I’m not here,"

Liang Jiuhui said, upset and agitated, deciding to find out the real situation in B-city from Wei Junhao as soon as possible.
