Luo Ning led Xiao Jie to the location of the small building.

"Look, this place will be ours from now on."

Xiao Jie looked at the four-story building in front of him and stared at Luo Ning in shock upon hearing her words.

"Ours?"

"Yeah, I got it from Xiao Helin. It's pretty good, isn't it? We can open a shop here in the future. The foot traffic in this base is pretty good. Opening a shop here will definitely make money."

Luo Ning could already imagine what it would be like for people to keep sending crystal cores to his wallet.

"What does he want you to do? If you don't want to, then we won't. At worst, I'll go out and kill more zombies and collect more crystal cores."

Xiao Jie knew that she couldn't possibly build such a large building in this base without paying a price.

Luo Ning patted his head. "Are you out of your mind? Why would I turn down such a nice apartment? Besides, am I the kind of person who would let myself suffer a loss? Even though it's a win-win situation, I'm definitely the one who benefits."

Xiao Jie rubbed his head; he was still afraid that the man would make things difficult for her.

I know she just wants to have fun, but there are so many people at home to support, and I'm afraid she'll feel wronged.

"Come on, I'll take you upstairs to have a look."

This building was originally designed with businesses on the ground floor and residences on the upper floors.

Luo Ning led Xiao Jie directly to the fourth floor, where there were two separate rooms, fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

The water and electricity have been cut off.

There's no need for hot water in this weather. Luo Ning has plenty of bottled water stored in her space, and she brought out two large buckets.

"Just rinse it first, then wash it properly when you get home. Be careful not to get the wound wet."

Luo Ning put down the water and went outside.

Xiao Jie clenched his fist, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

She held my hand the whole time and didn't let go; she still cared about me.

After Luo Ning came out, he looked around.

She had only glanced at it before, but now she was checking it carefully.

It was discovered that this building didn't require much work; just a simple cleaning would be enough before it could be used.

She still hasn't found the person in charge of managing the store.

We'll see if we can recruit suitable candidates at this base.

After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Xiao Jie specially picked out a youthful white shirt from his bracelet.

It matches Luo Ning's current outfit perfectly. As soon as he came out, he saw Luo Ning leaning against the fence.

She leaned casually against the railing, lost in thought.

Her fingers tapped unconsciously on the railing; Xiao Jie knew it was a small gesture she made when she was thinking.

He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly watching.

When she needs him, she can turn around and see him.

Luo Ning has planned her future life; she definitely won't stay in one place for an extended period.

But she still needed to run the business, so she needed people, but reliable people were really hard to find.

It's rare to meet someone like Xiao Jie.

Frustrated, he turned around and saw Xiao Jie behind him.

"Are you done washing?"

Xiao Jie stepped forward. "Hmm, what were you thinking about just now? You seemed quite agitated."

"It's nothing. I was planning to open a shop here, but I want to go on a trip and I can't find a reliable person to run the shop."

After listening to her words, Xiao Jie thought for a moment and then said, "Can you leave it to me? I'll recruit people and train them. Once the store is running smoothly, we can go on a trip."

"Really?" With Xiao Jie willing to handle it, Luo Ning felt much more at ease.

She didn't like dealing with these kinds of things, but with Xiao Jie's help, she would only need to check the results from now on.

"Of course it's true." Xiao Jie nodded, then said softly, "I can't leave all the family matters to you. Let's work together."

Luo Ning smiled and didn't correct him. "Okay, then let's make two more plans after my birthday."

She knew he had been worrying a lot about her birthday lately, so they could wait until after her birthday to open the shop.

"it is good."

"How much longer are you two going to stay up there? What, do I have to follow you around with a water-type ability user?"

Xiao Helin shouted downstairs with 123, followed by several other people.

Luo Ning glanced at Xiao Jie's arm, which was already soaked with water.

"Didn't I tell you to be careful? How come you're still wet? Hurry up and let someone take a look."

Pulling Xiao Jie downstairs, Luo Ning snatched the 123 from his hand. Why does everyone always want to take her 123?

123 looked at Luo Ning with a wronged expression, "Host, you guys forgot about 123 again."

Luo Ning was slightly taken aback, then patted 123's head reassuringly, "I'm sorry, it definitely won't happen again next time."

Seeing that Xiao Jie had been taken away for treatment elsewhere, Xiao Helin smiled and approached Luo Ning.

"I heard you're having a birthday party, why didn't you invite me?"

Luo Ning glanced at 123 indifferently. 123 was fiddling with its fingers, blaming Xiao Helin, that scheming man, for provoking it and letting it slip.

"We've met before. I'm socially awkward and don't like friends I'm not very familiar with coming to my house."

Luo Ning spoke frankly; she really didn't like letting unfamiliar people into her private space.

Even if he now has a house at the official base, and a small building here.

But for her, only that large, single-level apartment with a terrace is her home.

Seeing her turn her back on him, Xiao Helin scoffed coldly.

"We're really not familiar with each other. Even if you gave away a building for free, we still aren't close. I wonder if the building owner knows about this. The building owner probably doesn't know that its previous owner gave it away to the current owner for free. The current owner said that its previous owner was just a friend..."

Facing the small building, Xiao Helin's voice grew increasingly mournful.

Although she knew that the two of them were getting what they wanted, Luo Ning still reflected on her own actions after hearing him say that.

Did she do anything wrong? Certainly not.

"Fine, I'll let you go, okay?"

Luo Ning really didn't want to hear his mournful tone, nor did she want to see his resentful eyes.

Since we'll be doing business at this guy's base in the future, our relationship shouldn't be too bad.

Let him go, it's fine. Anyway, she didn't keep her most important supplies at home.

She has now transferred almost all of them to her personal space.

The space in 123 has been upgraded, and it can now hold all the supplies.

But she filled her own space first before putting the supplies into space 123.

Once Xiao Helin received permission, his attitude immediately changed. "Then thank you very much for Miss Luo's invitation. I will definitely arrive on time."

When Xiao Jie arrived, he saw Xiao Helin smiling gently at Luo Ning.

He quickly went over and stood between the two.

"I'm all better now, let's go home."

Luo Ning figured she didn't have much to do here, and she was worried about leaving only 124 and 125 at home.

She was about to leave when Xiao Helin, knowing he couldn't keep her, didn't try to persuade her to stay.

Anyway, we'll see each other again soon.
