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

Although Lin Jia was unconvinced, she knew that there was a big gap between her and her.

She looked up at Luo Ning with a somewhat aggrieved expression. Why was Luo Ning so amazing?

Xiao Jie stood silently between the two, even though he knew the child meant nothing by it.

But he still didn't like it.

Having failed to snatch the person, and after showing off his strength, Luo Ning prepared to return.

Fortunately, the weather had already turned cool; otherwise, since the Lin family didn't have air conditioning, she wouldn't have been able to stay outside for so long.

Xiao Helin followed behind her, saying, "If everything's alright, let's go talk."

He came to see Luoning with something in mind, not only about purchasing supplies for the base, but also about the water source issue.

He didn't expect that despite his repeated efforts to cut back on spending, the water level at the base would still visibly drop.

The water source he sent to find was too polluted; even after purification, it could only be used for domestic purposes, not for drinking water.

Luo Ning could tell from his expression that he was going to give her crystal cores again.

He readily nodded, "Okay."

Lin Ye wanted to say something more, but his wife stopped him.

Xiao Helin followed Luo Ning to the small building. Originally, Luo Ning was going to talk to him, but Xiao Helin insisted on coming to her house.

Luo Ning thought it was more comfortable to stay at home, so she didn't refuse.

Xiao Helin looked down at the people coming and going below the small building. The three little ones sat at the front, with 1, 2, and 3 crossing their arms and looking up to have someone put the brochures together.

There were two other people, a man and a woman, assisting him.

"Those are two people I thought were suitable. I asked them to check if there were any suitable candidates first, and then I'll make a final decision for you to see."

Xiao Jie held Luo Ning's hand and explained.

Luo Ning nodded; she still trusted Xiao Jie's judgment.

Xiao Helin was somewhat envious; he could imagine how much profit this building would bring her in the future.

Looking up at the greenery in the middle of the rooftop, I sighed inwardly.

Well, he didn't have that many supplies to sell. He suddenly regretted building the base; the responsibility on his shoulders was too great.

Although he had enough to eat and wear, he was never truly free.

Then he thought again that he couldn't just give up the base he had worked so hard to build.

"Speak, what is it?"

Luo Ning sat on the sofa, and Xiao Jie placed a glass of iced milk in front of her, then went to prepare various snacks and fruits.

Xiao Helin looked at the empty space in front of him; there wasn't even a glass of water.

Frowning, she moved the fruit plate in front of Luo Ning to her own side, picked up a cream-coated strawberry, and popped it into her mouth.

It is too sweet.

When Xiao Jie came out, he saw that Xiao Helin had taken away the fruit plate in front of Luo Ning. He glared at him and then put the plate back next to Luo Ning.

"What are you glaring at me for? You can't even pour a glass of water for a guest, and you still have the nerve to glare at me?"

Xiao Helin gave Xiao Jie a cold look. This man always had an icy expression except when he was with Luo Ning.

Hmph, just like a kid, trying to look cool.

Xiao Jie ignored him and picked up a strawberry to feed Luo Ning.

Luo Ning ate it with a smile; it was really sweet.

Xiao Helin looked at the two people opposite him, feeling extremely frustrated.

Look away and take two deep breaths.

"I'm asking you, where do you get your water from upstairs? What's the quality of your water? Do you sell it?"

"Water? Haven't you found a water source at your base?"

Luo Ning wondered, if such a large base couldn't find a water source and relied solely on buying from her, how many crystal cores would Xiao Helin have to send to her?

"The water quality is poor, and we need to have sufficient reserves of drinking water."

Xiao Helin was also troubled by the water source issue, as there was no progress on the water source, so he had to make preparations in advance.

Luo Ning's eyes lit up; she remembered that she had collected a lot of bottled water and stored it in her spatial storage.

After she acquired that spiritual spring, she stopped using the bottled water in her spatial storage.

If Xiao Helin needs it, she can sell him the bottled water she used to store.

"No problem, as long as you can afford the crystal cores, I have everything you need."

Luo Ning sat up straight and looked at Xiao Helin with a smile.

Xiao Helin's eyes hurt; every time she laughed like that, he would lose a lot of crystal cores.

Xiao Jie smoothed her hair; she was so cute.

"Just tell me how much you want. It's a small business, payment is made on a single order, no credit."

Luo Ning felt that he had excellent judgment, having actually found a wealthy tycoon like Helin Base.

At the Xuanwu Base, she was so poor that she could count the crystal cores on one hand.

As soon as she arrived at the Helin Base, crystal cores rushed towards her.

"Tell me your price first. If it's too high, I won't take it."

In all his years of business, Xiao Helin had never seen anyone like Luo Ning, who got a good deal and then acted innocent.

But there was nothing they could do; their escape routes were completely monopolized by others.

They couldn't win a fight, and their pride was worthless.

What could he do? He could only grit his teeth and do business with this blatantly robbing female bandit.

"Why would I charge you such a high price? We've known each other for so long, we're practically friends. One hundred crystal cores per meal."

Before Xiao Helin could recover from her mention of "friends," he heard the following statement about one hundred crystal cores per ton, and he glared at her through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure you really consider me a friend, and not just a sucker?"

"What do you mean? You're saying I overpriced it? Have you asked around and found out how many crystal cores a liter of drinking water costs? I've already given you a huge discount because of you."

Luo Ning didn't actually sell it at a high price; she just sold it at the outside price.

The Xuanwu Base and the Helin Base, one official and one private, are relatively stable, and their leaders seem to care about their subordinates.

So although the items here are a bit pricey, they are still within people's acceptable range.

But outside, in the current situation, the price of a ton of water is not fixed.

"Too expensive, less please."

Xiao Helin understood what she meant; the brat hadn't asked for anything expensive, but she hadn't given him a freebie either.

When doing business with her, you can't just agree to whatever she says; you have to negotiate the price with her every time, and try to get as little discount as possible.

He had a feeling that he was already short of money after she had only been at his base for a day.

"You have such a large base, yet you can't even produce a hundred crystal cores."

Luo Ning is a money-grubber and doesn't like to suffer losses. She's already being considerate of him by not asking for a high price.

Xiao Helin started playing the victim again, "My ancestor, I can produce a hundred crystal cores, but the truth is I need more than a ton of water. There are so many people in our base, a ton of water isn't even enough for everyone to have a sip."

Luo Ning sneered, "Don't make yourself sound so pitiful. Didn't you just resell this water to other people afterward?"

This isn't an official base; they won't give supplies to the people below for free.

This is the kind of place where even a sip of water or a breath of fresh air costs money.

Xiao Helin choked, "That's true, but our base also has many policies that benefit the people. Like the forestry family we just mentioned, I also spend money and crystal cores to support them."

"Never mind, one hundred crystal cores for one ton of water."

Luo Ning hates people who are shameless and haggle over prices the most. Is she a kind person?
