Chapter 31

Zhang Bei looked at these two items and narrowed his eyes.

Previously, no matter what he obtained, the introductions were like mechanical descriptions.

But the descriptions for these two things carried a hint of trolling.

It was more like someone had written them on the other end of a computer.

Thinking this was enough, Zhang Bei didn't intend to probe any deeper for now.

Seeking the truth would have to wait until he had sufficient strength; otherwise, it would be easy for someone to crush him.

When he came out from underground, the sky had already turned dim.

Zhang Bei casually took out a Crystal Core and located his settlement on his wristwatch.

A white light flashed, and Zhang Bei's figure immediately appeared at the Teleportation Point.

The entire Nantian City was brightly lit, and there were countless people queuing at the warehouse in the very center.

"Hey, where did you go?"

Hearing Su Xiao Xiao's voice, Zhang Bei turned his head: "Went out for a stroll. How many people moved in today?"

Su Xiao Xiao tilted her head and started calculating: "One sheet of paper is thirty people; there were nine sheets in the morning, and in the afternoon..."

Before Su Xiao Xiao could finish calculating, Jin Xin's voice suddenly rang out.

"There were six hundred and thirty-one people in total, with four hundred and eighty-nine adult males."

Looking at Jin Xin, who was being led by Su Xiao Xiao, Zhang Bei immediately smiled.

"How many people are in the settlement now?"

"Excluding us, there are one thousand eight hundred and thirty-five people."

Su Xiao Xiao's face flushed; although she did most of the work.

If Jin Xin, this little girl, could recover her vision, she would definitely be far more capable than herself.

Zhang Bei rubbed Jin Xin's head: "Let's go, we're heading back."

Before he could take a step, Daniu walked over from a distance with Jin Yuan.

"Boss, where did you go? I've found all the combat personnel you wanted. Do you want to see them?"

Zhang Bei was stunned for a moment: "So fast?"

Daniu nodded: "Those who have survived until now basically have some skills.

What's more, with Langzi's reputation here, there are still quite a few people who want to follow."

Speaking of this, Daniu gave a wry smile: "The two hundred people selected now are all about the same in strength; I really can't pick out fifty."

Zhang Bei smiled: "It's fine, I'll go see them tomorrow. That's all for today."

Returning to the small building, everyone went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Jin Yuan stood behind Zhang Bei: "I want to join the combat squad."

Zhang Bei turned his head and looked at the head-bowed Jin Yuan: "Why?"

Jin Yuan raised his head and looked directly at Zhang Bei: "Because only after I become stronger can I better protect my sister."

Zhang Bei nodded lightly: "You can, but before that, you'll have to let Daniu train you for a period of time. Can you hold on?"

"I can!"

Zhang Bei looked at the little guy's determined gaze and smiled: "Go change your clothes and get ready to eat."

Ye Fan: 【This brother is so heartwarming!】

Wu Yingcai: 【But why do I feel like that girl probably doesn't need protection?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Why do I always feel like the girl is the older sister?】

Watching Jin Yuan's back, Zhang Bei sighed.

Actually, having him participate in combat was an inevitable matter, but he hadn't expected it to be so soon.

According to Zhang Bei's plan, he would at least wait until the settlement had stabilized.

At that time, he would be able to find time to train this little guy.

But since the little guy requested it himself, throwing him to Daniu for the time being was also a good choice.

Just as he sat down on the chair, a call request suddenly came through on his wristwatch.

Zhang Bei reached out and clicked to answer.

"Oh my god, big brother, I've been busy to death these past few days. The things you wanted are all gathered. Shall we trade now?"

Listening to the familiar accent, Zhang Bei sighed silently: "Okay!"

He hung up the call directly and opened the Trading Center.

He reached out and placed the two tokens on it, and soon received a trade request.

Without looking closely, he directly chose to agree.

Beams of white light appeared in mid-air, and soon turned into various items that fell down.

Before Zhang Bei could check them, another call request came through.

Zhang Bei looked at the name and felt that they must have discussed it beforehand.

"Hey, Langzi, have you missed your sister?"

Hearing this charming voice, Zhang Bei frowned.

This woman was always up to no good.

"If the things are ready, just click trade. I'm very busy."

Zhang Ya was choked up for a moment and hung up the call directly.

Soon, a trade request was sent over, and Zhang Bei placed the token on it and chose to trade.

White light condensed in mid-air again, turning into items that fell to the ground.

Su Xiao Xiao had just come out of her room and saw the scene before her, which looked like a battlefield.

She looked at Zhang Bei, who was sitting on the chair: "What did you do?"

Zhang Bei sighed: "Trading with those two settlements. Help me tidy up."

Su Xiao Xiao nodded and helped Zhang Bei tidy up the things on the ground.

Most people didn't know what the use of Supernatural Items was.

Even the prompts on the wristwatch were very vague.

However, what Zhang Bei cared about were the Task Scrolls; the Supernatural Items were just treated as an extra.

It would be best if he could find something useful, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.

A dozen Task Scrolls were placed on the table, and Zhang Bei casually picked one up and chose to use it.

【Task is being drawn】

【Task drawn successfully】

【Ocean Overlord: Kill ten marine creatures】

Looking at the task, Zhang Bei nodded.

His system only activated during the reward stage.

If he wanted to increase his strength quickly, the best way was to complete tasks.

After putting everything away, Jin Yuan pulled Jin Xin and walked down from upstairs.

Zhang Bei looked at Jin Xin's calm expression and reached out to place her on a chair.

"Do you know what I went to do today?"

Jin Xin lowered her head and thought for a moment: "To find medicine for my eyes, and you also went through a battle."

Zhang Bei nodded; with the little girl's intelligence, she could definitely guess it.

He reached out and placed the Crystal Core he had obtained today into Jin Xin's hand.

"Try it and see if it has any effect."

Jin Xin nodded and gripped the Crystal Core in her hand tightly.

Although she was mature, she couldn't help but feel nervous when facing a major event that could determine her fate.

Zhang Bei helped the little girl click 'use' on the wristwatch.

Suddenly, the Crystal Core burst into a red light.

A phantom of the Suanyu rose from the Crystal Core, then slowly shrank and drilled into the little girl's eyes.

The entire living room was incomparably quiet; everyone was watching Jin Xin's eyes.

For a full ten minutes, the red light flickering on the Crystal Core vanished in an instant.

And Jin Xin also slowly opened her eyes.

A smile immediately curled at the corners of Zhang Bei's mouth.

The originally crimson eyes had now returned to normal.

The eyes that had just opened were obviously not used to the light, and a layer of mist formed.

Jin Yuan hurriedly leaned in: "Sister, can you see?"

Jin Xin scanned the entire living room with her gaze and nodded lightly.

Then she stood up and came before Zhang Bei: "Thank you, sir."
