Undeterred, he opened the eighth panel, only to find that his VIP information had been deleted. Originally, there were several competitors, but now the eighth panel only showed one VIP customer: Base No. 32.
What happened? Not only him, but other bases also had their cooperation terminated. But why is Base No. 32 still around?
Chang Mingyao suddenly felt irritable. The food he had stockpiled was being used up quickly and was simply not enough. He wanted to buy more from the Farm Owner.
That's it, it's suddenly gone.
He quickly went to browse the forums.
I saw a pinned announcement just posted by the Farm Owner.
[Given the limited farm production and the increasing number of users flooding the app, many are unable to purchase ingredients. Therefore, I have decided to terminate our cooperation with most VIP clients. All resources will be available on the platform, and everyone will have to compete for them based on their purchasing power.]
Many questions remain, some are happy while others are sad, but the Farm Owner simply ignores those questions and grievances.
Buy it or don't, it's up to you. If you don't want to buy, you can leave this app.
Chapter 204: The plan has been found; the people the base chief is looking for are them...
Sang Luoluo transferred the bottled water that was originally supplied to other bases to the first-level panel, limiting each person to two bottles per day. This way, the total amount of bottled water sold by the panel each day remained the same, but the chances of each person being able to buy bottled water were greatly increased.
Looking up at Base 03 hovering above Base 71, Sang Luoluo thought to herself:
The transaction was going well, but you had to make things difficult for me.
At this moment, Chang Mingyao, the base manager, was pacing back and forth in his office on the top floor of Base 03, extremely agitated. He was furious. He had already planned to stockpile more food from the Farm Owner, and the subsequent development plan for the base was already in place, but the cooperation had fallen through.
Anyone would be driven crazy in this situation.
He kicked the stool next to him and swore again in frustration.
The communication cable rang.
He immediately looked over and saw it was Sang Tong, the base commander of Base No. 32.
These base commanders all have each other's contact information, but they rarely contact each other. Their relationship between Base 03 and Base No. 32 is not that good, and they don't usually have any business dealings. He even sent a spy to Base No. 32.
What's he doing on the phone now? Showing off that he's the only one left on the eighth-tier VIP panel?
This is not like Sang Tong's style of doing things.
While he was thinking, Chang Mingyao had already answered the call.
On the other side of the video was Sang Tong Tong's enlarged face.
"Sangji Chief, why are you calling? Is it about the Farm App?" Chang Mingyao's tone was inevitably a little sour.
Sang Tong had just received the changes from the Farm App. Fortunately, the Farm Owner hadn't cut off their water and food supplies. He was still on the eighth floor, with no changes at all.
At this crucial moment, Chang Mingyao, having just been kicked out by the Farm Owner, couldn't show any joy or smugness, so he kept a low profile.
"No, it's for something else."
Chang Mingyao narrowed his eyes. "Oh? What is it?"
Sang Tong quickly explained his purpose, "It's like this, I need Base Chief Chang's help with something. My cousin and younger cousin are both at Base 71. I heard that Base 71 suffered a major disaster and was destroyed overnight. After the disaster, my cousin and younger cousin immediately asked me for help. I have already sent people to pick them up."
"I heard that your Base 03 is currently over Base 71. I would like to trouble Base Chief Chang to look after my younger brother and sister-in-law. I will repay you handsomely in the future."
"These are their files; I've already sent them to you. I'd appreciate it if Base Chief Chang could help me with this."
Chang Mingyao opened the private message and saw the two profile pictures. One of them was the space system evolver he had ordered to find, the most valued talent by Dr. Wang of Base No. 32. It turned out to be Sang Tong's cousin from Base No. 32? What a coincidence! However, looking at the somewhat similar facial features between Sang Tong and Sang Yunpu in the photo next to her, he could basically confirm that they really were family.
Chang Mingyao was reluctant to agree so easily, "Chief Sang, Base 71 is now a ruin. Due to the earthquake, many things and people have fallen underground, and a meteor shower is about to fall. I can't guarantee that the people you want are still alive."
Sang Tong suddenly smiled. " Base Chief Chang, my sister is a space-evolving being. She has bodyguards, and I spoke to her on the phone not long ago. They are capable of protecting themselves. Base Chief Chang only needs to look after them for a few days."
Yes, space-type evolvers and mental-type evolvers are extremely rare, but this is not something that can be agreed to so easily. Chang Mingyao said, "It's possible, but there has never been any cooperation between our two bases. How about you do me a favor? Right now, you're the only VIP customer left on the Farm App. How about you sell me some of the food and water you bought?"
"I can increase the price of the Crystal Core by 20% above the market price."
Sang Tong hesitated for a moment. "Such a big matter cannot be decided by me alone."
Chang Mingyao chuckled and said, "Your sister-in-law is still in my hands. I don't need more; just sell me a portion after each transaction."
"I can give you a few days to think about it."
Before Sang Tong could say anything more, Chang Mingyao had already hung up the phone.
Chang Mingyao hung up the phone and continued to wait for his men to find Sang Luoluo and her brother.
Sang Tong was in a dilemma for a moment. After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while and decided to call Sang Luoluo back.
"Brother? How is he?"
Sang Tong told Sang Luoluo the results of their conversation. In a short time, Sang Tong had also made up his mind. He still had to save his younger brother and sister-in-law. Cooperating with Chang Mingyao this time was not a bad thing. Some of the food could be exchanged for 20% more Crystal Core, and he could also establish contact with Base 03. So for now, it wasn't a bad thing. The food in the Farm App was still too expensive, and Crystal Core were hard to come by. After weighing the pros and cons, Sang Tong felt that it was feasible to give away only a portion of the food.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing that our Base No. 32 and Base 03 have established diplomatic relations. After Base 03 plundered all of Base 71's resources, its strength will only increase. Cooperation between bases is always better than offending each other. Just be careful there, Sang Jia has already gone."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Okay, thank you, brother."
Even under such circumstances, Sang Tong Tongneng was still willing to give up some resources for her and her brother. In terms of family affection, he had already done more than enough.
In the future, the farm should cooperate more with Base No. 32.
Sang Yunpu also said, "Thank you, brother."
Sang Tong smiled and said, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. Once you arrive at Base No. 32, you'll have to help me out."
After hanging up the phone, Sang Luoluo and the others had nowhere to go in the ruins, so they simply found a relatively safe place to rest and eat something to replenish their strength.
All the survivors at the shelter have been received and registered by Base 03. There aren't many survivors left in the base. The entire sky above the base is filled with patrol aircraft from Base 03, searching for survivors. Those who can be rescued will be rescued, and those who cannot will be left to die.
Before long, an aircraft spotted them and hovered above them.
I scanned their faces.
"Found them. The base commander is looking for just a few of them."
"Take them back quickly, the base commander says he wants to see them."
Sang Luoluo stuffed the last bite of sweet potato into her mouth, watching the aircraft land steadily on the ground, from which several people jumped down.
" Sang Luoluo, right? Come with us. Our base commander wants to see you."
Sang Luoluo looked at everyone. Although she had expected this situation, Sang Luoluo still felt nervous being "invited" onto the aircraft.
Sitting in the aircraft, watching the ground recede into the distance, my senses expanded, and I became familiar with the aircraft's structure, able to see that every small part of the aircraft was extremely precise.
This aircraft looks really advanced; its engine and materials seem more advanced than those at their Base 71.
The cockpit is also more advanced, with a higher density of electronic components.
Lost in thought, the aircraft had already stopped beside Base 03, and in the blink of an eye, they were on top of Base 03.
What comes into view is a colossal object that stretches as far as the eye can see, with various power devices running non-stop, requiring a tremendous amount of energy.
Chapter 205 The Gap in Strength: Are their own planting bases really that powerful...?
The person in front led them into the interior of Base 03, and the group exclaimed in unison as they looked at the buildings inside.
The interior of the base resembles the interior of a large building, with densely packed rooms neatly arranged, along with various office and living areas. Unlike the expansive areas of bases on the ground, Base 03 is more like a compressed, highly efficient space.
The site is large enough, with very large public areas, somewhat like the structure of an old shopping mall, with multiple floors and interconnected pathways.
"What a massive power system that must be!" Lei Qi remarked as he looked around.
When Sang Luoluo arrived, her senses swept across the vicinity, and the power units were full of energy, indicating that Base 03 should not lack energy.
They were quickly led to the elevator and taken directly to the top floor. The elevator was extremely fast, and before Sang Luoluo could react, they were already on the top floor.
Upon arriving at an office area, the rooms here were much larger than those below, and there were hardly any people on the entire floor; this must be the base commander's private area.
