Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 418 - Heart Talk Branch

Chapter 418: Chapter 418 Heart Talk Branch

Knowing that someone was eavesdropping outside, Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t succeed in getting those 80,000 crystal cores after approaching Liang Jiuhui.

However, Liang Jiuhui did send Space Element Ability User Song Sibo to their villa that afternoon because he had something to confirm with Su Jin.

“Are you really a Dual-Element Ability User?”

Liang Jiuhui had Song Sibo leave the crystal cores and go back before daring to ask Su Jin this question.

It was only after Dr. Pei and others described how they were saved that he realized Su Jin was actually a Dual-Element Ability User.

“Yes, I discovered it on the way to City E,”

Su Jin replied with the excuse she had prepared in advance. Now, it seemed that Liang Jiuhui hadn’t spread the news everywhere and had even sent Song Sibo away.

After hearing her answer, Liang Jiuhui stroked his chin and nodded, feeling a sense of pity for Su Jin.

“Pity about what?”

The family looked at Liang Jiuhui, puzzled. What was there to pity about being a Dual-Element Ability User?

“Look, your team already has a Space Element User, Guo Yang. If you could awaken an ability from another element, wouldn’t that be even more formidable?”

Liang Jiuhui seemed to think what he said made perfect sense. Pairing the wood element with another offensive element, with Su Jin’s talent, surely she would be unmatched under heaven.

“…”

“I think Xiao Jin’s space element ability is quite good,” Lu Hao said.

“Hmm, that’s true indeed. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to bring back so many supplies nor consider opening a branch store,”

Liang Jiuhui thought they wanted to open a Heart Talk Branch because they had gathered a lot of supplies on the way to City E, especially since he had heard that Guo Yang’s space was running out of goods to sell.

“Cough, cough, yes,”

Su Jin answered awkwardly.

At the same time, she also felt that using the store as a way to dispose of supplies was a brilliant cover-up. Liang Jiuhui surely didn’t know how much merchandise their Heart Talk Store sold every day.

After seeing off Liang Jiuhui, Su Jin directly placed the crystal cores that were on the ground into her storage bag.

The feeling of relief, like the end of a difficult struggle, slowly faded away as several more boxes of crystal cores joined the previously empty storage bag.

While delivering the crystal cores, Liang Jiuhui also handed over the keys to three rooms at the entrance of the security team’s area to both of them. Now, not only him but many in the management layer of the base were looking forward to the new Heart Talk Branch.

“Uncle, Auntie, the branch store will be in your hands from now on,”

Su Jin said with a smile, handing over the keys to the two.

“Don’t worry, Xiao Jin, we guarantee to accomplish the task,”

Lin Tianzhen was very confident in Mao Zhihang’s abilities and furthermore, now that they were selling goods from their own space, they didn’t have to worry about any suspicion.

Taking advantage of some free time, the family went to check out the three rooms. The rooms were quite spacious, and Su Jin thought one of them could be used for storing supplies. This was the entrance of the security team, and she doubted anyone would dare cause trouble here.

Besides, their supplies wouldn’t be stored here in large quantities, at most enough for a few days.

As soon as they opened the doors, everyone got to work cleaning up the rooms and arranged some of the furniture that Su Jin had collected previously in City H into her space. The initially barren rooms soon took on a pleasant appearance.

“This counter is from when we were in business before. I didn’t expect it to still be useful here,”

Touching the familiar carved wooden counter, Mao Zhihang reminisced about his past experiences running a business.

At this moment, he was full of drive. Doing business might not be the same in the apocalypse as before, but now he was a Metal Element Ability User with Lin Tianzhen there to help. He believed he would definitely be able to earn more crystal cores for the space.

At that moment, Su Jin had a thought as she looked over at the flowerbeds by the door.

“Xiao Jin wants to speed up the growth of the plants?”

Lu Hao asked after hearing Su Jin’s idea.

Su Jin nodded and said, “I don’t know if it will work, but I want to try.”

Having said that, she took out a few seeds from her space and placed them in the flowerbeds on either side. The Wood Element Ability slowly flowed in the direction controlled by Su Jin, and the first seed quickly germinated and grew…

Lin Xiuyuan was still wondering why the plant didn’t have any leaves until it took shape and he realized—it was a cactus?

“My goodness, Su Jin, how did this cactus get so big?”

Lin Xiuyuan stood in front of the cactus that had grown to the height of his shoulder, marveling at it, and noticed that the spikes on the cactus were long and sharp.

“This way it can watch the store, right? How is it? Not bad, huh?”

Su Jin looked on with satisfaction at the first cactus she had sped up the growth of. The spikes had been strengthened by her Wood Element Ability, and she tested them to find they were almost as sharp as metal spikes.

“It looks very impressive,” Lu Guanhai said, also taking an interested look at the giant cactus, which was the largest he had ever seen in his life.

Seeing that the effect was good, Su Jin began to speed up the growth of the remaining cacti. Since the places were already set, Su Jin simply decided to quicken the growth of all the rest at once.

There were quite a few people passing by at the time, and they happened to witness a young girl speeding up the growth of plants. It was also their first time seeing someone grow such a large plant, so they all stopped to watch.

“Haha, isn’t that our base’s Su Jin? I mean, who else but her could grow something so big?” a voice said in the crowd.

“Yeah, yeah, remember those giant plants that ate zombies back then? Weren’t they much bigger than this?”

“Who is Su Jin? Why do you all say ‘our Su Jin’?” asked a curious person.

“No one in particular, just someone from our S City base,” came the reply from the crowd, which then stopped discussing the matter. This person didn’t even know Su Jin; could they be a spy sent from another base? What if they took away their Su Jin?

While the crowd was talking, Su Jin had already quickened the growth of all the cacti, and Mao Zhihang had made his way to the front to announce the opening of the Heart Talk Branch at that location.

“The original Heart Talk Convenience Store is a bit far away, so we will be setting up the Heart Talk Branch here. The prices and product range will stay the same as the main store, and we welcome everyone to come visit when we open,” Mao Zhihang said with a sincere tone, winning everyone’s good impression.

Heart Talk Branch?

That’s great! They wouldn’t have to take such a long detour to buy supplies anymore, and they would always worry about being robbed halfway there.

And it seemed the Heart Talk Store still had goods to sell, not like the rumors that it had run out of stock, so they felt relieved.

“Will the Heart Talk Branch also have rice and flour for sale?” someone in the crowd asked.

“They will be available, just like the rules for purchasing at the main store. We hope that when everyone comes to buy, they bring their own containers,” Mao Zhihang answered with a smile.

Some of the people new to the base couldn’t help expressing their astonishment: The base here actually still had rice and flour for sale? Surely, the prices must be sky-high!
