What would she need those assets for? She doesn't have time to manage them. The space is self-sufficient; she can buy whatever she wants directly from the Farm App without going through any intermediaries. Besides, she doesn't know anything about this person's background and doesn't want to cooperate.
"Did you... absorb a lot of Crystal Core?"
Sang Luoluo looked at him. "Don't you believe me?"
This high-ranking official clearly didn't believe it.
"I'll absorb it and show you."
Several large boxes were placed in the warehouse.
Qi Feng opened them all at once and quickly checked the video of the dissection of the mutated animal carcasses. He found nothing amiss, and there were quite a few of them.
Sang Luoluo forward and grabbed a handful of Crystal Core, dozens of them of various sizes. Instantly, energy entered her body, and the Crystal Core cores turned into dust.
Seeing his shock, he grabbed another handful of Crystal Core and absorbed them.
The Crystal Core nuclei turned into powder and fell to the ground, becoming a pile of rubble.
"You saw it with your own eyes."
Sang Luoluo said calmly.
The explanations that the higher-ups had prepared were now untenable. For an ordinary evolver, absorbing two Crystal Core was already the limit; how did she manage to do it?
Looking at the Crystal Core, Sang Luoluo said calmly, "I know the base needs Crystal Core, but I need Crystal Core too. So many teams went out in this competition, and the base must have exchanged quite a few Crystal Core and Crystal Core for them. Why bother with the few I have?"
The higher-ups' hearts skipped a beat. The amount of money they had acquired through those transactions was considerable, but the amount contributed by Sang Luoluo's team alone was so small. How could that be the same? Naturally, the base wanted to keep her.
Sang Luoluo continued, "I can absorb all of these Crystal Core right in front of you."
As he spoke, he plunged his hands into the box, and instantly the entire box of Crystal Core turned into a box of dust. Some of the Crystal Core Crystal Core had purer energy and simply disappeared completely. Others had less energy, and their energy was absorbed, leaving only empty shells.
Since that's the case, and the business deal couldn't be reached, he didn't want to offend anyone.
"No need, I now believe you can absorb that many Crystal Core."
Sang Luoluo shook her head. "Oh, no need for all that trouble. We'll absorb the Crystal Core anyway, so absorbing them here is the same. Wait for me a moment."
Sang Luoluo walked over to each box, put both hands inside, and within seconds, the energy in each box of Crystal Core was completely absorbed.
All that was left were scraps.
Sang Luoluo continued until she had absorbed all the Crystal Core here, leaving behind a warehouse full of dust before she stopped.
His Mental Power successfully increased to 53 meters, and his perception range was also 530 meters.
She had a sudden idea: instead of taking the crystals home to absorb, she would absorb them right in front of this high-level being. This was also a way of sending a message to the outside world: although she could earn a lot of Crystal Core, she also absorbed a lot of Crystal Core, and this was proof of that.
So don't even think about getting the Crystal Core from her.
"We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Qi Feng followed and asked in a low voice, "How are you feeling?"
Sang Luoluo said, "You're full of energy, and your Mental Power has increased by 3 meters. It was worth it."
The two men's conversation reached the ears of the high-ranking official, whose plan had failed. He could only inform his superiors of what had just happened.
After leaving the competition hall, Sang Luoluo drove directly to the base manager's place.
The base commander has been extremely busy lately; when Sang Luoluo went to find him, he was still working.
"You've arrived." Sang Tong said with a satisfied smile.
This time, the team led by Sang Luoluo not only gave face to the Sang Clan patriarch, but also intimidated other families.
Moreover, the abilities and value they demonstrated in this competition are immeasurable. During the competition, one of their teammates awakened a new ability, which was a lightning ability that had never been seen before.
"Cousin, what do you want?"
Sang Luoluo sat down on the sofa, and Sang Tong also sat down, handing each of them a bottle of mineral water. He then began, "You've probably heard some news from outside. Your team won first place in the competition, with such a high score. Other families and forces have already started trying to recruit you, and some have even come to me."
Sang Luoluo glanced at Qi Feng.
" Qi Feng told me that while you were absorbing the Crystal Core, some people even went directly to your house, trying to win you over. I'm not worried about that; I believe you're willing to stand on my side. So, there's no need to discuss that. I came to see you for another reason."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "What is it?"
Sang Tong continued, "Here's the thing, our base exchanged some resources for a considerable number of Crystal Core through the competition. After the next trade with the Farm Owner, we'll exchange for a large batch of resources. As you know, we signed a contract with Base 03 last time to exchange some resources, and they're willing to use Crystal Core in exchange. Our base is quite far from Base 03, and the location of Base 03 is uncertain, so I'd like to entrust this task to you."
"Your abilities are special, and Base 03 doesn't need a large quantity of supplies. I think your space is more than enough to hold them all. Your team is a small target, making operations easier. Of course, you can ask for anything you need directly, and I will agree to it."
"The reward for this mission is 30,000 Crystal Core. I know that's not a lot for you, but the base is short-handed right now, and everyone is out in the wild. Besides, the convoy is too conspicuous. I've received news that several bases along the route have recently been hit by natural disasters. I'm worried that the convoy's supplies might be intercepted, so after thinking it over, you're still the most suitable person."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo said, "30,000 Crystal Core isn't much. I'd like to apply for a plane to go. That would be more convenient."
Sang Tong immediately agreed, "Of course."
Sang Luoluo continued, "Consider it as me helping you with this."
Sang Tong continued, "Because of your outstanding performance in this mission, many high-ranking officials at the base want to recruit you. I've taken this opportunity to apply for a high-ranking position at the base for you."
Sang Luoluo was stunned. "What?"
Sang Tong, "Having power in the base is a good thing. It means you'll have more say, and your abilities and contributions are more than enough for this job. Let's attend the high-level meeting together tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing this, Sang Luoluo asked, "What? Can I not participate?"
Sang Tong shook his head. "You can participate in some base decisions, you can vote. Later, you can gradually develop your own power."
Sang Luoluo sighed, "But I don't want to, it'll be too tiring."
Qi Feng tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "I think you should say yes. It's a good thing for you."
Sang Tong meant the same thing.
"Let's take a look."
Sang Tong smiled and said, "Once you attend a few base meetings, you'll understand how important high-ranking positions are. There are currently 30 high-ranking officials at the base, covering various fields."
Sang Luoluo returned home with a heavy heart.
On the way, Qi Feng comforted her, "Do you remember when we were at Base 71? Dr. Wang was one of the higher-ups. Many things at the base were stable because of him. Look at the base's Guard; it's because the higher-ups are inactive and persecuting the lower-ups that some of our brothers can't even get slightly advanced weapons, and some of their credit is stolen."
"I hope that as a high-ranking member, you will at least not cooperate with those bad people and just keep the base running normally." Qi Feng thought for a moment and still hoped that Sang Luoluo would take this high-ranking position. Before, at Base 71, let alone high-ranking members, he didn't even have the chance to see those people. Now that Sang Luoluo has become one of the high-ranking members, he couldn't even hide his happiness.
Sang Luoluo said, "I just feel tired. We don't lack food or drink now, but we lack Crystal Core. We can go outside to find them. If we don't want to look for Crystal Core anymore, we can rest at home. Becoming a high-level person means there will be a lot of work to do, and in that position, you have to take on a lot of responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Qi Feng said, "We can help. Me, Xiaoxue, Lei Qi He Fei, and Xiao Li —we can all help you. You can't just see the downsides of working at the top; think about the advantages too. Given your position, even if some people want to get rid of you, they'll have to think twice."
Sang Luoluo was convinced. "That's true."
Seeing that Sang Luoluo had been persuaded, Qi Feng's lips curved into a smile. Sang Luoluo was someone who could listen to advice.
Once home, Sang Luoluo put the canned food and cooked meat they had prepared into her spatial storage, and also told them about what the base commander had said earlier, and advised them to get some rest.
The next day, Sang Luoluo was woken up by her alarm clock because it was time for her watch assistant to remind her that she had a meeting to attend that morning.
Of course, with today's advanced technology, there's no need to be physically present at the meeting; online meetings are also possible.
After washing up, Sang Luoluo sat down in a chair in the room and entered the conference room.
As soon as she logged on, she saw dozens of people online, and she was positioned on the outermost edge. She immediately spotted Sang Tong in the very center of the screen.
Once Sang Tong saw that everyone had logged in, he began his presentation.
"Let me introduce a new member to the base's leadership, Sang Luoluo. She's a space and mental evolutionist, and you've all seen her abilities. Her team won first place in the competition, with a score far exceeding the second-place team. Furthermore, she donated all the mutated animal carcasses she brought back to the base free of charge. She also brought back some other edible mutated food, as well as a large number of samples from deep within the dense forest. They're extremely valuable, and the feedback from the laboratory is very positive."
"Of course, there was another major contribution. She discovered that by cultivating mutated mushrooms in the wild and using mineral water produced by the Farm App, edible mushrooms with low radiation levels could grow overnight, providing the base with a new food source. She brought back a lot of them and exchanged them all for the base. After a unified decision by the base's senior management, Sang Luoluo was appointed as one of the company's senior executives to participate in the base's decision-making."
