Chapter 1189: Shared Interests with Elder Yuan

Ning Chen said, "I don't necessarily need to know the reason. Seeing that Elder Yuan isn't speaking, I didn't plan to ask further."

Suddenly, Elder Yuan put down the teacup he had never parted with, looking at Ning Chen with an appreciative gaze.

"Good, good, good. You are a promising talent."

Ning Chen, suddenly praised, was full of questions, but his expression remained calm and unruffled.

"Hmm, if you were a person of this world, I think the Heavenly Dao would have let you become this Child of Fortune: powerful, rational, and extremely humble. Truly a talent. What a pity, what a pity, truly such a pity."

Elder Yuan said "pity" several times in a row, and even his face showed some regret.

"Sigh, I will answer your question just now. Although I am an Assistant, I cannot interfere too much. Just like directly finding the Child of Fortune, I cannot do that."

Hearing this, Ning Chen nodded understandingly; indeed, there were restrictions.

"It seems you are not surprised at all?" Elder Yuan looked curiously at the young man before him.

To be honest, it was shameful; when he divined, everyone else could be calculated clearly, but this young man before him, no matter how he calculated, could not be calculated clearly.

He could not even know a thing or two about his past; he could only learn that he was a person from another world.

Facing Elder Yuan's question, Ning Chen answered calmly: "Hmm, I think every world has its own rules. Since you can know so many things, you must be unable to act. After all, this world is still the Apocalypse. If you could act, I suppose the Apocalypse would not have come."

For the first time, Elder Yuan felt the sharpness of the young man Ning. He sighed again; truly, he was not wrong to have chosen him; he was indeed formidable.

"Hahaha, it seems the new waves really push the old waves, and each wave is stronger than the last. Young man, you are right. By the way, I haven't asked your names yet."

Xiao Han crossed his arms over his chest, showing no intention at all of giving his name.

Ning Chen was already used to this attitude of his, so he spoke up first: "Elder Yuan, my name is Ning Chen, and his name is Xiao Han."

The main reason Ning Chen was so proactive was that they had to rely on Elder Yuan to enter here.

Among them was a Beast and an Infected; with so many eyes here, someone in the Biding Society would surely see through something.

"Elder Yuan, I want to ask a question."

Before Ning Chen could ask his question, Elder Yuan raised his hand and interrupted him.

"You want to ask if we can bring you in, right?"

Ning Chen swallowed his doubt and nodded.

"Of course. When it gets dark later, I will send you out first. Tomorrow during the day, wait for me at the same spot; I will come to pick you up."

Elder Yuan had arranged everything; since that was the case, Ning Chen did not say anything more.

There was still some time before nightfall, so Elder Yuan began to explain the situation of the F City Survivor Zone to everyone.

Just as Ning Chen had thought, without someone to lead them, they might not even pass through the main gate. The device at the entrance, taller than a person, was to detect a person's ability. However, although High-level Infected have abilities, they would not be detected by the detector; instead, they might expose their true nature.

"Can you really help us all get in?"

Ning Chen, thinking of how many people were with him, felt some confusion.

"Young man, don't think that because I look ragged, I have no status here. Just wait and see."

This entire F City had clearly become a small human world, with new rules and a new class system inside.

Although the number of Survivors was many times less than the total population of the original world, the land of F City was also very limited, so here, classes were divided according to your ability.

Ordinary people without ability, unless their family's class was high enough, could only live in the lowest places.

Ning Chen glanced at this house; whether from the outside or the inside, the decoration of this house could only be described in four words: luxurious and generous.

It was generous because the materials of the entire house were basically wooden, full of a strong natural atmosphere, and the arrangement of the furniture was also very particular, making people feel comfortable at first glance.

And the reason it was called luxurious was mainly the wood, because these woods looked like various kinds of valuable timber.

Not only that, these woods also looked like they had been soaked in potion; they should be fireproof and waterproof.

To be honest, Ning Chen really liked this decoration style; he even couldn't help but look around a couple more times.

"Young friend Ning Chen, it seems you really like my house?"

The faint light in Ning Chen's eyes was all seen by Elder Yuan, who couldn't help but ask aloud.

Ning Chen, caught peeking, was not ashamed but admitted generously: "Hmm, I do really like it. The room materials and decorations here all look carefully selected. Although they are wooden, they are not inferior to those that look shiny."

Once the topic of this house came up, Elder Yuan couldn't hold back: "Hahaha, truly worthy of being young friend Ning Chen! You should know, this house was built by me, bit by bit, myself!"

It turned out that before the Apocalypse came, Elder Yuan had lived here. After the Apocalypse arrived, this place should have been contributed out for redistribution. However, because Elder Yuan's status allowed him to live in this residential area anyway, and since this was originally his own house, the people above let Elder Yuan keep it unchanged.

Elder Yuan communicated warmly with Ning Chen about his insights when the house was renovated back then, as well as the materials used.

Just as Ning Chen had expected, all the wood used in the entire house was the most precious wood, and some were even thousand-year-old trees.

Based on his own ideas, Ning Chen also gave Elder Yuan a few suggestions for improving the house, including adding and arranging some small decorations.

The two of them chatted so enthusiastically that even though the sky had already turned dark, neither of them showed any sign of stopping.

Tianze, standing aside, was obviously already used to his father's manner.

But Xiao Han had not adapted to Ning Chen like this; how could a quiet person turn into a chatterbox upon meeting an old man?

After another hour passed, Xiao Han could no longer bear it and spoke up to stop the two: "Although interrupting your conversation is not good, it is already nine o'clock, and the sky has become completely dark. I think we should leave; otherwise, everyone will be waiting anxiously."

Xiao Han emphasized the three words "waiting anxiously" heavily; he was not referring to anyone else, but Gu Yanqi.

They had been out for so long without returning; Ning Chen's other half must already be extremely anxious. Xiao Han hoped to use this point to make Ning Chen regain some sanity.
