Lu Xinyi frowned slightly and asked solemnly: "Why did Mr. Xie tell me this? This is a research project at Shuguang Base. Shouldn't it be kept secret?"
"Extracting the energy from the crystal core is a good thing that benefits all people with powers." Mr. Xie met her questioning gaze and said seriously, "In today's world, the living environment of human beings is already very difficult, and the survivors should unite. , clear out all the zombies, and take back the human homeland from the zombies."
Listening to his words, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but look at him twice.
This old man Xie is a man with a big picture and the world in mind.
But she's not that kind of person.
She had no idea of being a savior.
Therefore, even if she can provide crystal core evolution fluid, she must be paid enough.
"What would you do if someone extracted the energy from the crystal nucleus earlier than you?" Lu Xinyi asked again, "Let this person unconditionally contribute the crystal nucleus extract in his hand, and the method of extracting the crystal nucleus energy?"
"Of course not!" Mr. Xie answered simply, "If someone can really extract the energy from the crystal core, that is his ability. We cannot let him dedicate it selflessly just because he has the ability. He does not have this obligation."
"But if the official base finds a way, then I hope the official base can distribute it for free. Even if it is not free, it can be provided to people with special abilities at a low price."
Lu Xinyi said no more, looking at Mr. Xie seriously, thinking over and over again in his heart.
According to Mr. Xie, even official bases like Dawning Base have not been able to develop such things as crystal core evolution fluid.
Other small private bases may not have this ability.
If she rashly took out the crystal core evolution fluid, it would be too eye-catching.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
But what Mr. Xie said really touched her a little.
This is a protracted battle between humans and zombies. Only when humans become stronger can they completely defeat the zombies.
After thinking for a moment, she finally took out a bottle of crystal core evolution fluid.
She was betting on the character of Mr. Xie and Bi Jing, and whether they could trust them.
"Mr. Xie, this is what you want to research, right?"
Mr. Xie looked at the small glass bottle of about ten milliliters in her hand, filled with surprise and excitement.
He took the glass bottle with trembling hands and found that it contained a colorless and odorless liquid that looked almost like tap water.
"This...is this?"
"Crystal Nucleus Evolution Fluid."
"Crystal Core Evolution Fluid?!" Mr. Xie's shocked pupils unconsciously dilated.
Bi Jing, who was next to him, also sat up straight in an instant, staring at the small glass bottle intently.
"Clear and transparent, no impurities can be seen. Is this really extracted from the crystal nucleus?"
Mr. Xie looked at the glass bottle carefully as if looking at a rare treasure. He couldn't believe that this tap water-like liquid was actually extracted from the crystal nucleus.
"Miss Lu, where did you get this crystal core evolution fluid?"
"I'm sorry I can't speak bluntly." Lu Xinyi refused simply.
Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment, then thought of the question she had just asked him, and suddenly understood.
"I was rude." He said apologetically, "Miss Lu doesn't want to say, so I won't ask again. But, I wonder how much of this evolutionary fluid Miss Lu has?"
Lu Xinyi thought for a while and said, "Five branches."
As long as she has points for evolutionary fluid, she can redeem unlimited amounts in the system mall.
But she still couldn't completely trust the grandfather and grandson. Taking out too many would only lead to endless speculation. Five was enough.
Mr. Xie did not doubt her answer, and was still immersed in the surprise brought by the evolutionary fluid.
It was Bi Jing who called him twice before he reluctantly returned the evolutionary fluid in his hand to Lu Xinyi.
"Miss Lu, I want to buy the evolutionary fluid in your hand. I wonder if Miss Lu is willing?"
Since Lu Xinyi took out the evolutionary fluid, he was planning to do business with Dawn Base.
Seeing Mr. Xie take the initiative, she followed his words and said, "Okay, a bottle of evolutionary fluid and ten first-order crystal nuclei."
"Ten?" Mr. Xie said subconsciously, his voice rising a bit unconsciously.
Lu Xinyi frowned and said firmly: "Ten pieces, no bargaining."
In the System Points Mall, one first-order crystal core can be exchanged for two bottles of evolutionary fluid. She asked Mr. Xie for ten, which was indeed a bit expensive.
But if she asks for it too cheaply, it will make people suspicious.
After all, evolutionary fluid is a rare commodity.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Xie nodded and said: "Okay, okay! Ten pieces, just ten pieces!"
Lu Xinyi: "..."
Did she bid too low?
Seeing Lu Xinyi's regretful look, Bi Jing smiled and said, "Captain Lu is such a good man. A bottle of evolutionary fluid only sells for ten first-order crystal nuclei."
Lu Xinyi: "...Haha."
Stop talking, it hurts my heart.
If she had known that they agreed so readily and thought ten crystal cores were too cheap, she should have asked them for twenty crystal cores.
But even at the price of ten crystal cores, she still made a fortune.
In the system mall, she can exchange ten first-order crystal cores for 20 bottles of evolution fluid!
After negotiating the price, Mr. Xie immediately asked Bi Jing to give fifty first-order crystal cores to Lu Xinyi, eager to exchange them for the five evolutionary fluids in her hand.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Lu Xinyi gave the evolutionary fluid to Mr. Xie, and then took the fifty crystal nuclei that Bi Jing handed her directly into the space.
After she finished, she reminded: "This evolutionary fluid does not have any impurities and contains very powerful energy. It is not recommended to take it directly. It is best to dilute it with water."
Mr. Xie nodded in agreement, and then directly gave Bi Jing a bottle of evolutionary fluid, "Bi Jing, this bottle of evolutionary fluid is for you. You can take it when you have time."
"Okay grandpa."
"Captain Bi is also a person with superpowers?" Lu Xinyi looked at him in surprise.
During the last grain depot operation, Bi Jing never used his powers. She thought he had no powers.
Bi Jing explained: "I have dual powers of gold and ice, but due to my profession, I am accustomed to relying on my own strength. I rarely use powers unless it is absolutely necessary. Besides, powers always have a cost. When there is light, if you rely too much on supernatural powers, it will be detrimental to yourself."
Lu Xinyi nodded in agreement: "Captain Bi is right."
After negotiating the deal for the evolutionary fluid and discussing the details of the hospital operation, Lu Xinyi left Mr. Xie's residence and visited the Shuguang Base under the leadership of Bi Jing.
Area B is the research area and it is not convenient for her to go there. Area D is where the leaders live and she is not interested.
She then followed Bi Jing to see the planting area in Area C.
Although Shuguang Base is also developing agriculture, due to weather conditions, crops are not growing well and cannot provide daily food for the tens of thousands of people at the base.
After visiting Area C, the two came to the ordinary residential area of Area A, which has the largest number of people.
Just after passing the wall of Area A, Lu Xinyi saw several teenage children in front of him, beating a boy who was also in his teens.
