Chapter 244 The Foreseen Separation
Miao Yin and Gong Jingming were the last to return to the RV. Song Qiming glanced at his smartwatch; it was already 8 p.m.
Gong Jingming's condition was somewhat strange. Despite the cool night breeze, his cheeks were unusually rosy. After returning, he sat on the steps of the RV without saying a word, just like he usually was.
Miao Yin yawned, looking rather lazy: "Did you have fun?"
Xia Tang leaned back in her chair and continued, "We went to see the famous Spring Equinox Hall. It felt similar to the bounty board in Moon City, but the supplies were more plentiful and the place was more spacious. That's the difference between government-run and privately-run places, I guess."
"Not only that, the workload is several times that of Moon City, and there are many rescue and supply search missions that Moon City doesn't have. Everyone is too busy building defense networks," Tan Ling said, with a lollipop in her mouth.
"Their exchange also trades guns and ammunition! Although you can only use them when you go out, they're guns! My hands are itching just looking at them," Song Qiming excitedly described, gesturing with his hands.
"Idiot, don't you even look at how many contribution points are needed to redeem that?"
"Contribution points?" Ling asked, puzzled.
They didn't go to the South District and didn't know what contribution points were.
Bai Wendong explained, "It's something like currency. You can get it by contributing to the base or by going out on missions, or you can exchange it with crystal cores. One green crystal core can be exchanged for fifty contribution points. With these points, you can exchange them for supplies in the Spring Equinox Hall."
"Can I use my contribution points to exchange for crystal cores?"
"Of course, prices are all the same. It's like a pawnshop where food or any useful supplies can be exchanged for points. It's like a small-scale implementation of a monetary system," Bai Wendong speculated.
However, he was right. The Chunfen Hall's points system is indeed a new type of currency system that has not yet been fully implemented. It is currently in the experimental stage. Once the supply of electronic devices is restored and prices are fully stabilized, this system will be implemented throughout the entire base.
When Miao Yin came to the city in her previous life, the contribution point system of Dream City had already been fully implemented in daily life. It was very practical and even influenced other bases, eventually leading to the unification of the entire country.
The current Chunfen Hall is just a prototype.
“You can help them with their missions,” Miao Yin said.
Song Qiming asked in surprise, "Really?"
“Since you’re just killing time anyway, as long as you don’t leave the city, I agree to let you go.” Miao Yin’s eyes were smiling, but no one could tell what she was thinking.
Bai Wendong and the others hesitated, but Song Qiming jumped up: "Yay! I'm going to find one to play with tomorrow!"
Bai Wendong: "..."
It's hopeless, death penalty.
"So why did we come to Dream City?" Tan Ling asked, voicing her true feelings.
In her opinion, Miao Yin had no shortage of food or shelter, so it was really strange that she would leave her comfortable little manor to come to such a crowded place.
Miao Yin looked up at her; the short-haired woman's face showed no fear, only composure.
She wasn't one to reveal all her plans. The more she knew, the more things could change. Rather than teaching them step by step like a teacher, Miao Yin preferred to give orders and have them carry them out, which made it less likely for the plans to be leaked.
"You want to know?" she asked instead of answering.
“Knowing more can prevent mistakes, right? What if we accidentally ruin your plan?” Tan Ling straightened up and said.
Miao Yin smiled and closed the distance between them, her tone seductive: "Sure, if you want to know, I'm happy to tell you, but... if I tell you my secret, you'll have to give me your deepest secret in return."
Tan Ling asked doubtfully, "What secrets could I possibly have?"
"Although there is no specific evidence, scientists generally believe that a person's awakened superpowers are mostly related to their personality, living environment, or past experiences. Tan Ling, you have such powerful ice-type superpowers, what do you think is the reason?"
Tan Ling seemed to have thought of something, and her face immediately turned very ugly.
The succubus, who could see right through people, smiled knowingly: "See? Isn't this a secret? How about it, want to make a trade with me?"
"..." Tan Ling swallowed the dryness in her throat, amazed by the other person's keen perception.
"Never mind what I said," she conceded.
"Haha, I was just kidding. I would never force my subordinates," Miao Yin said with a smile, her legs crossed.
"However, there are some things I can inform you in advance, Mengcheng. We won't be staying for long. I will be leaving with everyone soon, but a few of you will be left here."
"We're splitting up? Who are we splitting up?" Bai Wendong asked, somewhat surprised.
“Gong Jingming, Xia Tang, Ji Yuanzhou, and…you.” Miao Yin pointed her finger at Bai Wendong.
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
They considered dozens of possibilities, but they never imagined that the team would be split up.
"As for the rest of you, come with me to Moon City. What's with that look on your faces? Don't worry, I'll come back for you, as long as you're still alive by then." The woman waved her hand dismissively, completely unconcerned about their turbulent expressions.
"This is really...unexpected." As one of the people who were left behind, Xia Tang couldn't help but worry about herself.
Miao Yin even said she would take her into the lab, in case they were being hunted down and she couldn't even leave the city.
"Well then, that's all for now. If you have anything to say goodbye for, you can say it now. Goodnight, everyone."
After saying that, Miao Yin stood up. She had been busy all day and deserved to rest.
Although she was under the control of the curse, she ultimately didn't trust anyone. So, every night, she would return to her own space and not reappear until noon the next day.
Everyone knew her habit, so no one stopped her.
The next moment, Miao Yin disappeared from the spot.
