I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

They walked back with their father's coat full of pine cones. The snow was already very thick, and every step required a lot of effort. The cold wind made people shiver, but their hearts were warm.

"Dad," Xiaoyu suddenly spoke up, her voice firm, "When my abilities become stronger, I'll be able to help you even more."

"Silly child," the father smiled indulgently, his eyes moist in the moonlight, "you are already great."

When they finally returned to the simple tent, their mother was looking anxiously at the door.

Seeing them return safely and bring back so many pine cones, she felt distressed and moved, with tears welling up in her eyes.

The family sat around a tattered tin stove, the firelight illuminating their tired but happy faces.

Xiaoyu carefully used warm water to clean her father's wound, as gently as if she were treating a treasure.

My mother was busy frying pine nuts in a small iron pan, and the sweet aroma soon filled the entire room.

The stove made a slight crackling sound, illuminating three faces leaning against each other.

Although the tent is simple, it is full of warmth and hope at this moment.

The mother handed the first handful of roasted pine nuts to Xiaoyu. Looking at the happy smile on her daughter's face, the couple smiled at each other with tears in their eyes.

"When I go to the School of Supernatural Powers," Xiaoyu looked at her father's bandaged hand and vowed in her heart, "I must work hard to become stronger and not let my parents suffer so much anymore."

The campsite was still shrouded in darkness in the early morning. When Xiaoyu woke up, she found that her parents were no longer in the house. There was a note on the bedside: "Be good and wait for us to come back at home."

Xiaoyu looked at the pine nuts piled in the corner and bit her lip.

These were earned with the tattered hands of her father, so they couldn't just be left there. She found a rusty cart and carried the sacks filled with pine nuts up one by one.

"Hoo...Hoo..." She was out of breath after moving just a few bags. Her thin body swayed in the cold wind, but she still insisted on loading all the pine nuts into the car.

There was already a long line outside the cafeteria. Xiaoyu parked her cart aside and timidly set up a small stall.

"Pine nuts?" A sturdy man came over, "Where can I get pine nuts now?"

"Yes...we picked them." Xiaoyu said softly.

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Five doomsday coins..." This is the market price Xiaoyu found out.

The man glanced at Xiaoyu's thin body, then looked at the fully loaded cart and said, "How can a little girl like you pick so many?"

"I..." Xiaoyu was about to explain, but the man turned and left.

"It must have been stolen from somewhere." Someone whispered.

"Such a young child, I don't know where he comes from."

"Pine nuts are good stuff, but they are no longer available on the market."

“Who knows if it’s true…”

The discussions made Xiaoyu's face turn red.

She knew she looked too weak to be able to pick so many pine nuts, but these were indeed the result of her and her father's hard work.

The cold wind made her shiver and her hands and feet were numb from the cold, but she still stubbornly stayed by the cart, hoping to meet someone who was willing to believe in her.

"Little girl," a gentle voice sounded, "where did you get these pine nuts?"

Xiaoyu looked up and saw an aunt in uniform. She was the canteen's purchaser.

"Yes...my father and I picked them in the back mountain." Xiaoyu said courageously.

"The back hill?" The buyer showed a surprised expression. "Hasn't the pine tree over there stopped bearing fruit a long time ago?"

"I..." Xiaoyu hesitated whether to tell others about her special abilities.

At this time, a familiar voice came: "What she said is true."

It was Lao Zhao! He had stood behind Xiao Yu without her noticing.

"This child is a person with special abilities," Lao Zhao explained. "She can communicate with plants. The pine nuts were indeed picked by her and her father."

The buyer's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! Our cafeteria is in need of ingredients with high fat content."

She carefully checked the quality of the pine nuts, and then said cheerfully, "I want them all! And..." She looked at Xiaoyu's purple hands from the cold, "I'll give you seven Doomsday Coins per pound."

Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Really...really?"

"Of course," the buyer said with a smile, "if you can find more in the future, feel free to send them to the cafeteria."

Watching the cart being pushed into the cafeteria, Lao Zhao patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said, "Girl, you are very brave. But next time you do something so important, you must consult with the adults first."

Xiaoyu nodded, tightly holding the Doomsday Coins in her hand. This money was not only enough to buy food, but also to buy some medicine for her father's hand.

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhao," she said sincerely.

"Go ahead," Old Zhao smiled kindly, "your parents must be worried."

When Xiaoyu ran back, it was already dawn.

The trading area is located in the center of the camp and is a market consisting of tents and makeshift sheds.

Various hawking sounds drifted in the cold wind, mixed with the noise of bargaining.

The tattered cloth curtains were crackling in the wind, and the ground was muddy, but it couldn't stop the footsteps of passers-by.

Xiaoyu was pushing a tattered cart on which were neatly placed several small packages of pine nuts wrapped in old newspapers.

She was wearing a patched cotton jacket, and her little face, which was red from the cold, was filled with an expectant smile.

Chapter 755 Awakening of Superpowers

"Pine nuts for sale! Fresh pine nuts! Nine Doomsday Coins per pound!" She stood next to the cart and shouted in a baby voice.

Although the voice was immature, it was exceptionally clear and stood out in the noisy market.

Refugees passing by stopped to look, and some looked at the small vendor with curiosity. Pine nuts had become a rare commodity after the apocalypse, and even rarer in winter.

"A kid this young is also out doing business?" An old lady with wrinkles on her face looked at her kindly.

"Yes," Xiaoyu nodded seriously, "I want to make money to buy medicine for my father." She didn't tell the truth, but it was safer to say this than to reveal her supernatural powers.

"Aren't nine Doomsday Coins a bit expensive?" a middle-aged man asked with a frown.

Xiaoyu plucked up her courage and looked him in the face with her big clear eyes: "Uncle, these are winter pine nuts! And they are all fresh. Please smell the fragrance."

As she spoke, she opened a package and let the customer smell it. The rich pine nut aroma immediately spread, attracting more people to gather around.

"Give me two kilograms." The old woman took out the Doomsday Coin, "It's really fresh."

With the first customer, others also paid for the products. Xiaoyu was very busy, counting money and packaging, with a red face.

"What a clever girl." Passersby couldn't help but smile approvingly as they watched her doing her business seriously.

As the sun gradually set, Xiaoyu's cart was already mostly empty. She counted the Doomsday Coins she had earned, her eyes sparkling. This money was not only enough to buy medicine for her father, but also a new dress for her mother.

Just then, a man in uniform came over.

Xiaoyu's heart suddenly rose to her throat - it was the inspector in charge of market management. She quickly put away the money and waited nervously for the other party to approach.

"Mine nuts?" Passersby stopped and looked.

"They are really pine nuts!" An elderly man came closer and sniffed them. "They are very fragrant and wild!"

"It's really rare to be able to eat pine nuts these days!"

"It's oily and high in calories, and can save lives at a critical moment!"

Soon, Xiaoyu's cart was surrounded by people. Everyone asked questions and some even ran home to get the Doomsday Coins.

"Give me two pounds!"

"I want three pounds!"

"Leave five pounds for me!"

Xiaoyu was very busy, weighing and collecting money, her face flushed. But her eyes were sparkling, and she was very excited every time she received a Doomsday Coin.

"Little girl, where did you get these pine nuts?" someone asked curiously.

"Yes...I picked it myself." Xiaoyu learned his lesson and did not tell the specific location.

"He's so smart at such a young age, and he's so good at business!"

In less than two hours, all the pine nuts on the cart were sold out. Xiaoyu counted the coins in her hand and could hardly count them all. She divided the money into several portions and carefully hid them in secret pockets on her clothes.

"I have to go home quickly, my parents should be back soon." She pushed the empty cart and skipped back.

When she passed by the infirmary, she bought a bottle of ointment for her hand injury. She also went to the food store to order a month's worth of food. She planned to save the remaining Doomsday Coins to give her parents a big surprise.

"My parents will be very happy when they come back!" Xiaoyu thought happily. She couldn't wait to see her parents' surprised expressions.

When she got home, the house was still empty. Xiaoyu hid the Doomsday Coin and tidied the house carefully. She knew her parents were fighting for her, but from today on, she would also contribute to this family!

"I will definitely make life better!" Xiaoyu clenched her fists and thought firmly. The sunlight outside the window shone on her young face, reflecting a strong light.

This thin figure is trying to protect this home in her own way. What she doesn't know is that this is just the first step to change her destiny.

In the evening, my parents returned home exhausted. My father's hands were wrapped in rags and stained with blood, and my mother's face was covered with dust.

"We were lucky today," said my father, putting down the sack of pine nuts. "We picked about 100 kilograms."

"It would be great if Xiaoyu was here," the mother sighed, "with her special ability, the pine nuts on the trees would grow automatically."

Suddenly, they noticed a steaming meal on the table - a bowl of meat soup, two white flour buns, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables. This was a rare luxury in the refugee camp where supplies were scarce.

"This..." The father was stunned and looked away. The place where the paper was originally piled was now empty.

"Lao Zhang," the mother's voice trembled, "where are the pine nuts from yesterday?"

Just as the two were panicking, there was a rustling sound from the bed. Xiaoyu rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up, and threw herself into her mother's arms.

"Mom! Dad! You're finally back!" Xiaoyu said excitedly, "I was awesome today. I sold all our pine nuts!"

"Sold...sold?" The father's face turned pale.

"Yes!" Xiaoyu said proudly, "I sold more than 300 kilograms in total! The aunt in the cafeteria gave seven Doomsday coins per kilogram, and people on the street gave nine Doomsday coins per kilogram!"

As she spoke, she took out a cloth bag from under the bed, and when she opened it, it was full of Doomsday Coins.

"This... so much?" My father took the cloth bag with trembling hands.

"Dad, your hand!" Xiaoyu took his father's hand distressedly and took out the ointment he bought. "I bought medicine for your hand and also ordered a month's rations!"

The father couldn't hold back any more, tears welled up in his eyes. He squatted down and hugged his daughter tightly: "Silly child, do you know how dangerous it is... You are pushing such a heavy cart by yourself..."

"I'm not afraid!" Xiaoyu wiped away her father's tears, "Grandpa Zhao spoke for me, and the auntie in the cafeteria is also very nice. And..." She raised her little face, "I want to be a powerful psychic! What's this little thing?"

The mother also cried and hugged the father and daughter in her arms: "Our Xiaoyu has grown up..."

"Don't cry!" Xiaoyu crawled out of her parents' arms, "Eat quickly! I specially asked the cafeteria aunt to make it. She said that my parents work hard, so she put more meat in it!"

Watching his daughter running around, the father clenched the Doomsday Coin in his hand. His little cotton-padded jacket has really grown up. Hidden in this thin body is a heart stronger than anyone else.

"Xiaoyu," the father said, choking with sobs, "Dad is proud of you."

"Hehe," Xiaoyu smiled brightly, "When I enter the School of Superpowers, I will make mom and dad even prouder!"

Under the warm light, the family of three sat around the simple dining table. This hard-earned dinner carried their hope for the future. And Xiaoyu was trying to protect this hard-earned happiness in her own way.

Chapter 756 Meeting

The evening sun shines obliquely on the glass curtain wall of the Shengshi Hotel, reflecting a dazzling golden light.

This three-story building seems out of place in the dilapidated refugee camp. Its exquisite European-style decoration and the red carpet at the door all highlight its uniqueness.

Xiaoyu stood at the bottom of the steps, holding pine nuts wrapped in red cloth in her arms.

She specially braided her hair into two neat little braids today and wiped her face and hands clean with clean water.

Although her clothes were still worn out, she hoped to leave a good impression on Zhang Chen.

Through the bright floor-to-ceiling window, she saw Zhang Chen's figure at a glance.

The light from the crystal chandelier shone on him, outlining a perfect silhouette.

He was sipping red wine elegantly, his slender fingers gently turning the goblet, his every move revealing the charm of a mature man.

"Brother Zhang Chen will definitely like these pine nuts..." Xiaoyu murmured softly, her eyes falling on the red cloth bag in her arms.

She spent a whole day picking these pine nuts. Each one is plump and round, exuding an enticing aroma.
