Mu Bai sat on the stool and rested for a long time after eating and drinking his fill. He ate two big bowls of food, which he would never have dared to do before.

After saying goodbye to Gao Zhe, he slowly walked towards the dormitory building that Gao Zhe mentioned.

"Hey kid, are you planning to rent a house too?"

Mu Bai didn't know that the other party was calling him, but he subconsciously turned around when he heard the voice and saw a man with an unshaven beard and starched clothes.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Yeah, who else could I have? My name is Li Mu, and I'm from a nearby base. What about you?"

"My name is Mu Bai, from the south of the city."

"That's great, how about we go together?"

Mu Bai retreated a little to the side without leaving any trace: "Then let's walk."

Li Mu watched Mu Bai turn and leave, his eyes moving greedily over him. He just saw that this kid ate two bowls of wontons and spent two crystal cores without blinking. Now he was going to rent a house, so he must have a lot of crystal cores on him. As long as he stole some from him, he could live in this city!

Zuo Xuefeng saw this scene while on patrol. When he was about to step forward and grab the man, Sang Chu stopped him.

"Achu?"

Zuo Xuefeng didn't understand why Sang Chu didn't let him take action. Wasn't it said that such sneaky things were not allowed in Haicheng?

Sang Chu explained with a smile, "Don't worry, this kid is very cunning. After he holds someone down, you will step in and throw him out. Then put up his portrait on the outer wall as a warning to others. He will not be allowed to enter Haicheng in the future."

"This, this will not..."

"It's useless to use weak methods. Only severe punishment will scare them and make them restrain themselves. This is just the beginning, just a preview. We'll post notices later. If anyone from any base dares to steal in Haicheng, they will be punished. That person's base will not be allowed to set foot in Haicheng again. Anyone who commits a crime in Haicheng, no matter how big or small, will be punished according to the same standards. As long as they don't follow the rules of Haicheng, they will never set foot in Haicheng again."

"okay, I get it."

After watching Zuo Xuefeng leave, Sang Chu walked into Uncle Gao's stall and said, "Achu is here. Come sit inside. I'll make you a bowl of wontons. It will be ready soon."

"Thank you, Uncle Gao. I came here just for your wontons."

"Sang Xiaochu!"

“This way, this way!!!”

Lin Muxue was holding a bowl of wontons and shouting loudly inside, waving at Sang Chu.

Sang Chu walked towards her and saw that there was already a bowl on her table: "Do I usually starve you? Why do you eat so much?"

"Uncle Gao's wontons are delicious. Oh, and Haicheng is so lively today. I haven't seen so many people in a long time. It's great, like going back to the pre-apocalyptic era!"

"Of course not! The Lord of Haicheng is truly amazing. He was able to create such a wonderful place."

A young man eating nearby couldn't help but chime in when he heard Lin Muxue's words. Another older man also said, "That's right, you know what? I just came from Building 1 and heard it's fully occupied. My God, such a tall building, and it's already full in just a short time. That's outrageous."

"Hey, what's the big deal? If I had money, I would have rented one right away. But it's too expensive. It costs twenty crystal cores, and I only have a few on my body. Now, after finishing this meal, I don't know what to do with the next one."

Lin Muxue ate on the side, winking at Sang Chu. Sang Chu's eyes hurt from seeing this. She ignored Lin Muxue's teasing look and said, "It's just that the prices are a little high today. After that, it won't be so expensive once everyone exchanges the crystal cores for Haicheng's currency."

"Really? You are from Haicheng?"

Sang Chu: "Yes, we are all from Haicheng."

"Little girl, tell us how to exchange the currency of Haicheng. You won't cheat us, will you?"

Sang Chu: "I won't cheat you. When the lights in Haicheng go down, it means it's dark and the city gates will be closed. When the lights in Haicheng come on, business will resume as normal and the city gates will be opened. Then everyone can enter the city. As for currency exchange, there are no specific details yet, but one crystal core should be able to be exchanged for about five currencies."

"Five coins? Is this the currency you made in Haicheng? Will it be valid for a long time?"

Sang Chu: "It's valid long-term. Today is the first day of trial operation. For convenience, we've placed the exchange office at the main gate. If you want to exchange currency in the future, you need to go to the office in the main city."

"Then why not put it at the gate? Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"

Sang Chu: "It's more convenient, but the main city is safer and more private. No one wants others to know exactly how much money they have on them, right?"

"That's true. What a pity! Building One is already full. Otherwise, I could have scraped together some money and stayed here for a month. I heard there's even hot water for showers!"

Sang Chu: "If the first group of people who move in abide by the rules and don't get into trouble, Building 2 should be open to everyone later. However, there are not many people in Haicheng at the moment, and it would be difficult to manage if there were too many buildings. Everyone, please be patient. After a month, as long as nothing serious happens, all eighteen buildings will be opened one after another. During this time, you might as well remember the exchange items in Haicheng, or go and get a list and find them according to the items on it. As long as you have the money, you can move in directly when the houses are opened."

"That's right, thank you very much, big sister!"

"You're welcome. It's the end of the world, so let's help each other."

When Uncle Gao came over with the wontons, he saw Sang Chu chatting animatedly with a group of people. He didn't say anything, but just put the bowl down for her: "Ah Chu, you eat first. If you don't have enough, tell me and I'll make you another bowl."

"Uncle Xie Gao, go ahead and get busy. A few more people are coming. Can you handle it? If not, I'll ask Gao Qiu to come and help you."

"No, no, he's busy with his own things. I can handle it! You guys eat first."

After saying that, Uncle Gao left. Seeing that Uncle Gao was easy to talk to, and Sang Chu and the others were also easy to talk to, the others had a better impression of Haicheng: "You people in Haicheng are so easy to talk to, and they are nice people."

"Maybe it's because everyone has enough food and clothing, and there's not so much intrigue, so of course the atmosphere is better!"

Lin Muxue didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said. After she finished speaking, she swallowed another wonton with her eyes shining. Her words silenced the group of people who wanted to continue chatting.

At this moment, Maya Ru suddenly ran over and whispered something in Sang Chu's ear. She stood up and said, "Xiaoxue, you eat first. I have something to do and I'll be away for a while."

"Yeah, go ahead, busy man."

Lin Muxue waved her hand nonchalantly. After she and Mayaru left, the uncle sitting behind her asked curiously, "This is the backbone of your Haicheng team, right? He's so busy."

"What? This is our city lord. She founded the entire Haicheng. You were praising her just now."

As she was talking, she started laughing: "Uncle, how does it feel to open it up close to your face?"
