I understand what the furry ones are saying. I'm going crazy killing people in the apocalypse.

Chapter 22 Master Duan Shui
Over the next two days, Ji Li became obsessed with killing monsters and leveling up until her ability level was raised.

【Character attributes:】

Name: Ji Li

Awakened abilities: Ice level C, purification level D.

Health: 94.

You are one small step closer to becoming (one of) the big guys, give yourself a pat on the back!
After taking a bite of corn, Ji Li clapped her hands and called up the transparent panel to upgrade the base.

[Taoyuan Base (Level 4)]

【Population: 19/30】

【Tax rate: 10% (adjustable)】

[Buildings: Business center, wooden houses*3, primary warehouse, power plant, water purification plant, trading hall, residential building (nine floors)*1, tailor shop, convenience store]

[Gold coins: 65825]

Mission 5: [Upgrade (1) base, required canteen, residential building (5000 floors)*, complete the mission to get gold coins, go upgrade now]

Finally, we have saved enough gold coins, and the water purification plant and power plant can officially start operation!

The moment the hot water flowed out of the washbasin, Ji Li was almost moved to tears. She then took out some clean clothes from the storage space and ran to the bathroom.

Woohoo, she hasn’t been able to take a proper shower these days. She just simply wiped herself with a towel and she felt like she was about to get moldy. It was really uncomfortable QAQ.

After washing for two hours, the little girl came out of the bathroom wearing beige slippers.

Ji Li held a meeting while all members of the base were present during lunch time.

There are two conference themes:
1. From today on, you will pay rent to the base every month according to different room types, and the rent includes water and electricity charges.

2. The convenience store has been built, and you can go there directly to buy anything you need in the future.

Currently, all members of the base live in a residential building with four bedrooms, one living room and one bathroom. The rent is temporarily charged at 2000 gold coins per month, which is 500 gold coins per person.
"The cafeteria will be built in a while, and we will eat in the cafeteria, and pay with gold coins." Ji Li sat in front of the fire and added, "You can raise any opinions if you have any."

"Lord Lord..."

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman raised her hand and asked nervously, "I just saw that our base has built a new tailor shop. I want to ask if you are still short of people? I know some needlework."

Ji Li, who was preparing to recruit a clerk for the tailor shop, responded: "We are short of people! The daily wage is 50 yuan, and when the base has more people, the salary will be doubled."

The woman's name was Xu Sumei. She fled from the village with Meng Xin. When the end of the world came, her husband was brutally murdered by alienated people, leaving her and her daughter alone.

Xu Sumei was very excited when she heard this: "Then Lord, can I start working today?"

"Of course." Ji Li nodded without hesitation, "Any other questions?"

Meng Xin raised her hand: "Sister, can I go outside with you to collect crystal cores tomorrow?"

He had been collecting wood and stone for the past two days, and had time to ask something during that time, but there was no one in sight.

Ji Li hesitated for two seconds: "If you are not afraid of death, you can."

"I'm not afraid!"

The boy answered firmly.

Rather than death, he would rather work hard to improve his supernatural level. Only when he is strong will he not be afraid of anyone and can protect his family and friends.

End of the meeting.

After Ji Li left, everyone sitting around the fire started talking.

"My Lord, you are so kind. The rent is only 2,000 gold coins, and it also includes water and electricity bills."

"That's right, we are so lucky to meet the Lord." "We have a place to live and enough food to eat. I couldn't even imagine this a few months ago."

"I said that our Lord was chosen as the Lord by the game at such a young age, he must be capable."

"Of course, who else but our Lord can tame the mutant black panther and lion..."

The news of the fight between the two furry creatures that day spread throughout the base, and they also learned that there were two mutant animals in the base, a black panther and a lion.

When people learned about this, they were shocked and relieved. With mutant animals guarding the base, security was doubly guaranteed, so they naturally felt at ease.

From that day on, Ji Li no longer restricted the activities of the two big cats. The black panther and the lion roamed freely in the base, adding a lot of liveliness to the base.

This kind of excitement does not belong to humans.

Black panthers and lions don't eat people, but they will chase people around. When they are full of energy, Ji Li can't stop them, so she can only take them out to kill time - fighting monsters.

In the evening, you time.

It was another day of fighting monsters. Ji Li called the base's psychics aside, took out a dozen crystal cores of different levels from the storage space and handed them to them.

Qu Jin was surprised: "My Lord, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to improve your abilities."

Of course Qu Jin knew that it was to improve the level of superpowers. What surprised him was that Ji Li would actually give them the crystal cores. In the end times, he didn't need to tell them how important crystal cores were. Most people would fight for their lives to get high-level crystal cores.

But now...

Lu Yang waved his hand: "Lord, we can't take these crystal cores."

How could two grown men like them want the crystal core that a girl obtained through hard work in killing monsters!
Meng Xin was also surprised: "Sister, I don't want it either! I will improve my strength through my own efforts, so please put it away!"

"..."

Ji Li looked at them and said, "In order to protect Taoyuan Base, I hope everyone will work together. As a lord, it is my duty to help you improve your abilities."

"But……"

Lu Yang was conflicted.

Qu Jin figured something out. He reached out and took the crystal cores, looking very serious: "I will work together with everyone to protect the base."

It was also from this moment that Qu Jin developed a strong sense of belonging to Taoyuan Base. He hoped that the base would become better and better, and he also hoped that the girl in front of him would become better and better.

It's getting late.

After returning to the cabin and washing up, Ji Li sat at the head of the bed and called up the panel to plan the base.

Two big cats lay on the floor, staring eagerly at Ji Li who was immersing herself in the design.

The cub had ignored them for a long time. The lion couldn't stand the cold violence at all. It spread out its four paws and jumped onto the bed, then plopped into Ji Li's arms.

"Awoooo——" (asking for a touch)
Her thoughts were interrupted. Ji Li looked down and saw a furry creature sticking out its tongue and hissing, twisting its butt and raising its head to rub her hand.

The black panther squatted and stood up, staring at a guy vying for favor with its green eyes, gnashing its teeth fiercely (What a bastard, I have to find time to beat it up again)
Touching the lion's head, Ji Li looked at the black panther squatting on the floor: "Lightning, come here."

Ji·Master of Keeping Balance·Li picked up the black panther that had jumped onto the bed and touched it one by one.

The black panther raised its head and rubbed the girl's cheek, making a purring sound in its throat.

"Okay, let's go to bed."

After turning off the lights, the two furry animals lay obediently at the head of the bed, closed their eyes, and their breathing gradually slowed down.

Tomorrow is another new day, keep working hard!
