They currently had only three Special-Type Crystal Cores.
Peiqi's healing and Chenxuan's support abilities both needed Special-Type Crystal Cores to advance, but Bai Yaoyao always felt that Taoist Feng Qing's Illusion, Elder Chen's Precognition, Bai Jin'an's enhanced brainpower, and Duan Yuwen's zombie control were incredibly useful too...
Just two cores were nowhere near enough to go around.
Still, she let none of that show on her face and handed the two straight to Peiqi and Chenxuan.

Chenxuan understood what was troubling Sister Yao and spoke up. "Sister Yao, the bigger picture comes first. I think these two would be better given to Taoist Feng Qing and Bai Jin'an. Once they reach level 10, Dark Night Base will be secure.
"Once we've finished advancing, we'll definitely head out to City O Base again. If we encounter more Special-Type zombies, the two of us can advance then.

Peiqi nodded too. "Exactly. There's no rush for us. We've still got half a year, so we're bound to run into some. The same goes for Duan Yuwen. Without zombies coming at us, he has nowhere to use his skills.
"Why feel awkward about it with us? The bigger picture comes first."

Only then did Bai Yaoyao leave the space. The others, who hadn't yet begun cultivating, suddenly felt good all over.
They wanted the best for Sister Yao, of course, but...
