While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Ji Zhou wisely didn't talk to Luo Ning; he knew he wouldn't get anything out of this girl.

He only needs to say one thing; if he dares to contradict her, she has ten or eight more to say in return.

Xiao Jie brought down the prepared food and weapons and distributed them to the good people.

Of the seven people, apart from Ji Zhoubai, only two others each bought a meat dish; the rest bought weapons.

The onlookers stared curiously at what the group was holding, wondering what delicious treats they had prepared this time, and how powerful their enhanced weapons were.

Xiao Jie used a transparent box for packaging, so people around could clearly see what the food looked like inside. It looked and smelled delicious, and even before the apocalypse, they rarely smelled food like that.

If you ask them why they can smell the food, it's still Ji Zhoubai's head.

Ever since he first pounced on his prey like a hungry wolf and ate at the base entrance, he has been doing so every time someone buys something.

They would stop briefly at the base entrance, grab a bite of food, and show off their weapons.

Ji Zhoubai and the two who bought the food opened their lunchboxes and ate at the door.

There was a table and chairs by the door, which Ji Zhoubai had brought over. He invited the two people who had bought food to come and cook.

The two shook their heads, casually found a place to squat down and start eating.

Dean Ji is a genius water-type ability user, and he should be close to the fifth level now. He is also the vice president of the base's military hospital. How could they be worthy of sitting and eating with him?

The group of people who had reinforced the supplies demonstrated them on the spot and found no problems. They then bowed slightly to Luo Ning.

"Thank you, no problem."

"It's okay, I'm just collecting money."

Luo Ning waved her hand, saying that it was her request to inspect and demonstrate the enhanced weapon on the spot. This way, she could not only have a buyer's show, but also prevent someone from bringing her the same unenhanced weapon later.

"Aren't you going to come to the base? Every time Fu Xing and the others come back, they come to me asking about you. Can you let them contact you themselves instead of asking me? I'm not your personal butler."

Ji Zhoubai complained, especially about Liang Xiao and Shen Yi, who would come to him every time they returned from a mission to ask about Luo Ning's recent situation. How did he know?

They only exchanged a few words each time she delivered takeout to him; otherwise, they never contacted each other.

He communicated with her less than he did with her actual private butler.

Ever since she fell ill and Xiao Jie found his contact information, that guy has been sending him several messages every day. If it weren't for the fact that he always asks boring questions like which medicinal herbs are good for the body and that patients don't like to eat medicinal food.

He even suspected that Xiao Jie had a crush on him. Every time he came off the operating table, Xiao Jie's unread messages were the most numerous on his bracelet.

At first, he replied with a couple of messages, but later he just ignored them and set his messages to "Do Not Disturb".

"No, what's so great about the base?" Luo Ning said, eating from her bowl of yogurt.

Ji Zhoubai looked at the strawberries in her yogurt bowl, then picked one up with his chopsticks.

Luo Ning paused, looking at the red and black face imprinted in the yogurt.

He slammed the yogurt bowl onto the table with a "thud".

"Are you sick? You stuck chopsticks with chili oil stuck to my yogurt bowl. I don't care, I don't want this yogurt bowl anymore, you have to pay for it."

Luo Ning shouted as he tapped Ji Zhoubai's head.

Ji Zhoubai covered his head and backed away, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll make it up to you, I'll make it up to you."

Where did he get the audacity to steal food from her bowl?

Ji Zhoubai suspected that he had just been possessed. He usually kept his distance from the little girl as much as possible, but he had actually dared to steal her food just now.

Luo Ning withdrew his hand, snorted coldly, and then extended his hand.

"Thirty crystal cores, compensation."

Ji Zhoubai looked up in shock, "Thirty crystal cores? You couldn't get that much money by robbing a bank."

"A dish costs twenty crystal cores, and you stuck your red-oiled chopsticks into my yogurt. It disgusted me. Is it too much for me to ask for ten crystal cores as compensation for emotional distress? Not at all. I'm only doing this because you're a regular customer. Otherwise, do you think ten crystal cores can make up for the disgusting thing you did to me?"

Ji Zhoubai was stunned by her bandit-like remarks. Was she really worth ten crystal cores for how many points she could get at the base?

He admitted that his actions just now were a bit offensive, but she couldn't just say things like that. Did she think he picked up his crystal core from the ground?

"Impossible. I'll give you at most twenty crystal cores. You've already eaten the whole bowl of yogurt, there's hardly any left. I'll give you ten crystal cores, and the other ten as compensation for your emotional distress."

Ji Zhoubai looked heartbroken. After buying enough food for the next two weeks, he only had twenty crystal cores left in his pocket. Surely he could give them all to this heartless girl.

Luo Ning sneered, and a thick vine appeared in her hand. Ji Zhoubai put down his lunchbox.

Chao Luoning tilted his head. "Go practice over there. If you can beat me, I'll give you thirty crystal cores. If you can't, we'll call it even, how about that?"

Ji Zhoubai had long heard that this ruthless girl was very powerful, but he had never seen her in person.

Apart from Fu Xing and a few others, no one had ever seen her use her superpowers. Ji Zhoubai was a water-type, and although she mainly focused on healing, her offensive capabilities were not weak.

After all, he's almost a sixth-tier water-type, while the black-hearted girl is probably only at the fifth tier.

Luo Ning looked at Ji Zhoubai with disdain. Did he really think he could beat her? Dream on.

Ji Zhoubai was provoked by her gaze. What kind of look was that? Did she look down on him?

Today he's going to teach this arrogant and heartless girl a lesson.

Luo Ning's vines wove into a chair in mid-air, covered with thorns and red roses, looking down at Ji Zhoubai.

"Isn't thirty crystal cores too little as a wager?"

Ji Zhoubai's lips twitched. That brat really knows how to put on an act; the way she sits high in the air actually gives her a certain air of superiority.

He hated that his water magic would send him flying into the air, making him look rather disheveled; otherwise, he would be on equal footing with her.

"What do you want?"

Luo Ning's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.

If it were any other Ji Zhoubai, he would have run away long ago upon seeing Luo Ning's smile, but he was provoked by her gaze just now and Luo Ning's current posture.

He didn't react at all, instead looking at her with a defiant expression.

"If you win, I'll provide you with all three meals a day from now on, and I won't charge you a single crystal core."

Before Luo Ning could speak, Ji Zhoubai's eyes lit up. With this condition, he would accept the challenge even if Luo Ning didn't provoke him.

He swallowed hard, his excitement barely containing his desire. "What if I lose?" he thought.

Although he didn't believe he would lose, the suppressive power of the ability level was absolute. He was one level higher than Luo Ning, and no matter how powerful she was, he was sure he wouldn't lose even if he fought with all his might.

Luo Ning smiled broadly. "You lost, so from now on you'll do whatever I tell you to do, okay?"

She had just thought of a brilliant way to make money, the kind that guarantees 100% profit, but it would require Ji Zhoubai's cooperation.

Xiao Jie, who had been looking proud, suddenly gave Ji Zhoubai a dangerous look after hearing Luo Ning's words.

Upon hearing Luo Ning's words, Ji Zhoubai hesitated for a moment, "I can't be asked to do anything illegal or disorderly, and I can't harm any of the base's interests."

He is also the deputy director of the military hospital and a member of the Xuanwu Base; he would never do anything to damage the base.
