Chapter 70: Chapter 68 Going Home

Pei Yuan showed a slight look of surprise, “Is she Li Wei’s daughter?”

“Yes.”

“I remember now, I owe her a favor, and I will repay her in the future. Don’t tell my nephew; he’s young and might let something slip. Now that I know who my benefactor is, I’m not afraid of missing the chance to repay her. I have a knack for cultivating Spirit Plants. If she wants to learn, I’ll teach her myself when the opportunity arises.”

Pei Yuan felt grateful in his heart for Li Pan giving up the Seventh-Order Wood Element Crystal Core without hesitation, an item that was still somewhat difficult to find, and he was very thankful for it.

Moreover, he had worked with Li Pan’s father before; they had a connection, so from now on, Li Pan is like his own child, making it more convenient for him to take care of her.

“The Wood Element Crystal Core you donated last time was used for her. You see, after all the roundabouts, it’s still our own people who benefit from what’s in the pot,” said the Base Commander with a laugh.

Pei Yuan also laughed, “True, it goes around and around, and in the end, it’s our own people who help each other. Our children are all grown up now, able to provide significant help. It’s really good; life is becoming more hopeful.”

“Exactly, the children have grown up, and we can finally take a breather,” the Base Commander agreed.

“Indeed.”

“I’ll wait for your good news.”

The Base Commander patted his brother’s shoulder.

“Okay, I’ll treat you to a celebration drink,” said Pei Yuan earnestly, nodding his head. The brothers who once fought side by side were now fewer and fewer to share a drink with, and the days of the past could not return.

Turning his face away, the Base Commander walked off, waving his hand at him.

Li Pan rested for a night and temporarily couldn’t return to the farm. The Base Commander said he had arranged for a few who needed healing and let her earn a bit before going back.

She spent a day treating twenty patients with severe injuries. The Base Commander said they weren’t all from his base; some were from the neighboring base, which brought considerable benefits to his base. Naturally, he couldn’t shortchange her.

Just from cash, she earned half a million, and the Contribution points were an even larger amount, which was enough for exchanging Spirit Plants later on.

Having this Absolute Healing Power, she also gained a certain level of authority; some good items couldn’t be exchanged just with Contribution points but required other permissions. But now, Li Pan had that authority.

Simply put, resources need to be exchanged to be fair. If your power is weak and you want to exchange for high-level items, people won’t want to give them to you. If you don’t have anything of value to offer others, I’d be at a loss to exchange with you.

But now it’s different. When you need me, I have the right to set conditions.

Plus, the base had only her as an Absolute Healer. Others had healing powers, but with a focus, not comprehensive, so naturally, she was a treasure. The base would naturally be more protective of her and inclined to give her resources, without her having to ask, the base would go out and fight for her.

With the money she earned, she paid off the debts of No.7 Farm and covered next year’s taxes. It’s always good to pay off debts first; being debt-free feels light.

She exchanged for some crop seeds and Spiritual Medicines, bought things needed for the farm, and also some books.

She took the time to visit the director of the orphanage and the children.

“It’s wonderful, you’ve advanced to a high-level Wood Power User, gaining the ability to protect yourself and valued by the base. It’s really great. Having your own power is always more authoritative and self-assured. Heaven favors the simple-hearted, truly wonderful,” the director said with continued nods, happy for her.

“Grandpa, do you have enough food? If not, I’ll have someone send some over,” she asked.

“We have enough. You just sent us food before you left; how could we have eaten it all already? Right now, there are only a few kids in the orphanage, and as they grow up, they can help. Zhang Qi and the others have given their salaries to me. I’ve enrolled the children in school so they can read, write, and understand morals. Life is so much better now; don’t worry,” the director assured her, smiling as he talked about domestic trifles.

Xie Ling and the others barely spent any money; they were very frugal. Their salaries and Contribution points all went to support their younger siblings at the orphanage. The younger children went to school on their older siblings’ money. Others couldn’t be envious; it wasn’t their money being spent.

“Then that’s good. I was worried you couldn’t cope. If there’s anything, just call me, and I’ll come over by bus. It’s very convenient now.”

“Sure, the children have grown. With the older ones supporting us, we can manage,” the director said.

The director himself was once a professor, having taught not only Zhang Qi and his peers but also members of the base’s Combat System, who were his students too, supporting the orphanage. But in the past, there were too many children and not enough food. Now, with the help of Li Pan and Zhang Qi, with many hands making light work, they could support the entire orphanage.

After visiting the director, Li Pan and Xue Dong finished their shopping and finally returned to the farm.

As soon as she got home, she couldn’t contain her excitement and yelled, “I’m back.”

“Sister’s back, was your trip to the forest smooth?”

The children ran over and surrounded her, chattering nonstop with questions.

“Stop, one at a time, I’ll go first, I’ve advanced to a high-level Wood Power User. I can easily cover two farms, quack quack.”

Li Pan cocked her chin up, showing off to the kids with a bit of pride.

The kids, including Zhang Qi, clapped enthusiastically, which made her incredibly pleased with herself.

“Sis, I’ve also advanced to middle-level, I’m in the Combat System now.”

“I know, the Base Commander told me. I’ve brought back Crystal Cores for you and Xie Ling.”

“Really, sis, you’re the best.”

The children jumped around happily.

“Brother Qin, I’ve brought you a high-level Wind Element Crystal Core, you can advance this time.”

She had exchanged them with the Base Commander using a Seventh-Order Wood Element Crystal Core, there were a few at home, so she exchanged them all, prioritizing her own people first.

“Really, that’s too kind of you.”

Qin Jianzhong rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

“Behave yourself, what are you pretending for, just take it and use it.”

Xue Dong tossed a cloth bag over, which Qin Jianzhong caught, opening it to find fifth and sixth-rank Wind Element Crystal Cores, and grinned happily.

“Thank you, sister, you’ve taken a lot of trouble, these things aren’t easy to come by.”

Qin Jianzhong knew that Wind Element was a minority, quite rare.

“She used a Seventh-Order Wood Element Crystal Core to exchange with the boss, there happened to be someone who needed a Seventh-Order Crystal Core, so she traded for it. Anyway, she won’t need such a high-level Crystal Core for a while, better to exchange it for something practical for her own people.”

“Thank you, but this…”

Qin Jianzhong felt embarrassed, thinking he was at a disadvantage.

“Enough, we’re all family here, don’t be formal. Having one more high-level superpower user on our farm gives us an extra layer of protection, relying on just one or two people definitely won’t cut it.”

“That’s right, if a few powerful mutant animals come, we’d still be on our knees.”

Liu Qian also agreed with Xue Dong’s words, the two farm areas were quite large and understaffed, leaving gaps in the defenses.

“Got it, I’ll advance as soon as possible.”

Qin Jianzhong planned to work on the farm for his lifetime, he had no family left, and was closest to Xue Dong, naturally, they were like family.

“After you level up, you and Liu Qian, both high-level superpower users, will be responsible for protecting No.7 Farm, it’s still too vacant over there. The remaining ones are Brother Jiao and Shi Lei who have advanced, but currently, there are no suitable Crystal Cores, they’ll have to wait.”

“We’re not in a hurry, we’ll still work as usual, can’t rush this.”

Jiao Ming shook his head, advancing wasn’t something to be rushed.

“Let’s have hotpot tonight to celebrate.”

Li Pan volunteered eagerly.

“Okay, Brother Gu, you go get ready, let’s have a big feast tonight, I even brought back some wild deer meat.”

“Give it to me, I’ll slice the meat and debone it.”

Gu Ye nodded.
