Seeing the Crystal Core appearing one after another next to the panel, the purchase volume has increased many times compared to ten days ago.
She will no longer have to go out and collect crystals under the scorching sun and intense radiation, risking attacks from unknown mutated animals and the constant threat of death, just to make a living. Even if she is idle every day, she will have a steady supply of Crystal Core.
The meteor shower outside had stopped, Sang Luoluo packed away her belongings.
Follow the line at the exit and queue to go out.
The Evolved Human sent out by the base rushed out as soon as the door opened, hoping to collect as many Crystal Core as possible. Sang Luoluo behind, thinking she would have to wait in line for a while, but in such a short time, everyone had already disappeared. That was too fast.
Not wanting to waste any more time, she quickly followed and went outside.
Fully armed, wearing a warm hat that only revealed his eyes, and gloves that were also worn tightly.
Qi Feng glanced in the direction the people ahead had gone and said, "There are already people there. Let's go somewhere further away."
The ground was littered with meteorites of varying sizes, making it impossible to drive; they had to walk. When they encountered uneven sections of the road, they had to move the stones to get through. This wasn't too difficult for Sang Luoluo.
After a meteor shower, there were many Crystal Core along the way. She simply sensed whether there were any Crystal Core around her. If there were, she would walk a few more steps and collect them with her Mental Power. The measuring device clearly recorded the number of Crystal Core and their energy that Sang Luoluo picked up.
With her previous experience, she collected Crystal Core even faster this time, walking forward as if she were strolling through a shopping mall. Wherever she went, she noticed Crystal Core within a 50-meter radius to the left and right.
Qi Feng watched from the side, already numb to it all.
People have different abilities, Sang Luoluo's abilities are so rare that they must be protected even more.
It's not without danger outside either. Due to the continuous meteorite shower, the houses outside are no longer habitable. Some have become dangerous buildings, and others have completely collapsed, making it very difficult to pass through.
Sang Luoluo used her Mental Power to collect nearby Crystal Core, which was much more convenient than for other Evolver and much better than using instruments for detection.
Occasionally, meteorites would fall from high places, and he would alertly pull Sang Luoluo away in advance. Thanks to his previous rigorous training and the recent improvement in his evolutionary abilities, it wasn't difficult for him to avoid such incidents.
Sang Luoluo could also sense it, but her mind reacted faster than her body. Her consciousness could detect it, but it was too far away. Her Mental Power couldn't control it, and her body reacted a few beats slower, so she couldn't dodge immediately.
Another risk was that stepping on the ruins of a building could cause it to collapse. Qi Feng was neither too close nor too far away from her, so he could catch her in time should she slip.
Along the way, they encountered many collapses. Sang Luoluo was able to avoid the former one or two times with her Mental Power, or use her Mental Power to control the falling meteorite, move it away, and then throw it away.
This meteor shower paused for a slightly longer time, and Sang Luoluo collected a lot more Crystal Core along the way than before.
Of course, she didn't dare to let her guard down. Her watch warned that another meteor shower would fall in 10 minutes, and she should quickly return to the ground.
Sang Luoluo dared not take any risks and quickly returned with Qi Feng through the nearest underground entrance.
Not long after, she met up with the people who had gone out to collect Crystal Core. Sang Luoluo began collecting their Crystal Core. Each person's measuring device recorded their data, and Sang Luoluo simply collected them one by one. Some people collected several bags full, while others collected a full bag.
The only downside is that all these Crystal Core have to be handed over. There are measuring instruments monitoring them, so they have no chance to keep any for themselves. The laboratory will allocate Crystal Core to them based on their contributions.
It was getting late, so Sang Luoluo took all the Crystal Core submitted by everyone back to Dr. Wang.
That adds up to several million Crystal Core.
Sang Luoluo collected nearly 160,000 Crystal Core of energy on her own. Some of the Crystal Core may have had more energy, and she successfully received 8,000 Crystal Core.
Dr. Wang didn't delay paying her; he had someone calculate the energy for her and settled the account directly.
Sang Luoluo happily stored her share of the Crystal Core into her spatial storage, ignoring the envious or jealous glances from her colleagues in the lab.
After finishing these tasks, Sang Luoluo could go back to rest and continue working the next morning. Some people were reluctant to give up this opportunity and wanted to go out and collect Crystal Core when the meteor shower stopped in the middle of the night.
Sang Luoluo didn't want to work so hard. The roads outside were difficult to walk on at night, and it was easy to trip over a stone if you weren't careful. Besides, she was tired after working all day and wanted to go home to rest.
After safely escorting Sang Luoluo home, Qi Feng checked the time and returned to the ground.
Sang Luoluo arrived home, Sang Yunpu also returned.
It's only 8 PM, Sang Luoluo is a little confused. Shouldn't Sang Yunpu be at the bubble tea shop at this hour?
"Brother, why are you back so early?"
Sang Yunpu said, "There weren't many people at the black market today. I don't know where everyone went. I heard from a rumor that they went to the surface. There was no business at the shop, so I asked Xiao Li to watch the shop and came back first. I've been too tired these past few days, so I came back early to rest."
"Wash your hands and eat."
The Sang Yunpu rice will be ready soon.
Sang Luoluo nodded, took the opportunity to quickly take a hot shower, and sat comfortably at the dining table.
Sang Yunpu prepared a lavish dinner: steamed buns, meat buns with mung bean filling, spicy soup, braised fish, spicy chicken, cold lotus root slices, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It was a very lavish meal.
And these were all foods that Sang Luoluo liked to eat. Her stomach rumbled, and the brother and sister started eating together.
Sang Luoluo's appetite was completely whetted. She ate four large steamed buns, two bowls of soup, and countless dishes in one go. She let out a hearty burp, rubbed her stomach, and went back to her room to lie down comfortably.
Her consciousness was immersed in the space. The day's work had taken a toll on her Mental Power, which was why she was determined not to work overtime at night.
Seeing that part of the inventory was empty again, Sang Luoluo quickly replenished the vegetables.
Seeing the pile of Crystal Core next to the panel, the transaction of millions of Crystal Core had emptied many of the first four floors.
She was too tired. After eating a few vegetables, she didn't want to move anymore. She threw all the Crystal Core into her spatial storage to absorb them, and the simulated sea area unlocked nearly 30,000 square meters more.
It looks like we've unlocked a quarter of it already.
At this rate, the entire simulated ocean area should be unlocked in no time.
Before she transmigrated, it took her a long time to operate hundreds of excavators to dig out such a huge simulated sea area.
Initially, I just wanted to have enough seafood to eat in the space, and also to set up an umbrella and a deck chair on her simulated beach area to enjoy myself.
The soil that was dug up was all from the back mountain, where there are many varieties of medicinal herbs and wild trees, countless fungi and medicinal herbs, as well as wildflowers, rare varieties, and common varieties, and a variety of wild fruits.
After a few days without gathering in the mountains, the area is now teeming with mushrooms and wild fruits again.
Sigh, I can't do anything today.
Sang Luoluo regained her senses, drank some Spirit Spring Water, and then closed her eyes to sleep.
She was woken up by the alarm clock at daybreak, grabbed breakfast and rushed out the door. She shared some breakfast with Qi Feng, who looked radiant and seemed to have had something good happen to him. Sang Luoluo didn't have the habit of asking about other people's private matters.
Upon reaching the ground entrance, the group that had gone out to collect Crystal Core during the night had already lined up to register their Crystal Core. After the last person finished registering, Qi Feng emptied the Crystal Core from his backpack.
There are several hundred of them.
Searching for Crystal Core at night is still too inconvenient.
The meteor shower was intermittent, with very short breaks in between, so these were all the meteors he could collect.
Sang Luoluo asked in surprise, "When did you pick it up? At night?"
"Yeah. I finished too early last night, so I went to the surface."
Sang Luoluo nodded; let him pick them up if he wants.
"You can't pick up much like that, can you?"
Qi Feng said, "The meteorite showers are frequent at night, so we have limited time to go out. Besides, the places we've been to on the ground are all places that those people picked up yesterday. If we go to more distant places, we might not be able to make it back in time by morning."
Sang Luoluo: "Oh, I see. If you need to take leave, just say so. Collecting Crystal Core earns much more than following me."
Qi Feng shook his head. "I won't go back on my promise. It's only a few days. With so many people scrambling, I can't collect much. The meteor shower should stop in the next couple of days, and the base will send out even more people then. I won't have much of a chance."
Besides, even if you find them, you have to hand them in; very few actually stay in your possession.
"Too."
Sang Luoluo started working, taking the Crystal Core she had stored in her spatial dimension to Dr. Wang.
Dr. Wang hasn't been sleeping well these past two days, and even his assistant, Jian Cheng, has noticeable dark circles under her eyes from being so busy. When Sang Luoluo saw him, he was still frantically working.
Dr. Wang asked the staff member next to him, "Have the other vegetables been restocked?"
"Not yet. The Farm Owner on the forum haven't shown up either; many people are clamoring for restocking."
"Right now, we have a good supply of freshwater fish and fruits. We've already bought out all the meat on the fifth floor; it's all live, so there's no radiation, and it's very nutritious. We've also purchased some beans and spices on the sixth floor; almost all of them are suitable for seed production. However, our planting base has limited space, so even if we planted them, they would be difficult to manage, and the costs would be very high."
Looking at the test data his subordinates had brought, Dr. Wang said, "The crops on this farm are amazing. How are they grown? They're highly nutritious, taste great, and can even be used for seed. Continue the testing and see if the project team below can make any new discoveries."
