Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Ji Lingshen looked unwell and leaned on Xie Qingyu for a long time to recover.

He pressed down with all his weight, making it impossible for Xie Qingyu to push him away.

It wasn't until Xie Cheng's footsteps called for Xie Qingyu upstairs that Ji Lingshen looked up from Xie Qingyu, smiled weakly at her, and said, "Thank you, sister."

Ji Lingshen forced himself to get up and walk back to his room.

His room was right next to Xie Qingyu's room.

Xie Qingyu looked at the closed door and touched her neck.

I had a feeling that something was off here just now.

Xie Qingyu didn't notice anything amiss and turned to go downstairs.

When Xie Chenggang reached the second floor, his expression softened as he saw Xie Qingyu coming down.

"Come with me to the study." Xie Cheng walked ahead to his study on the second floor, with Xie Qingyu following closely behind.

"My dear daughter, these are for you." Xie Cheng opened a small safe.

Xie Qingyu looked inside and saw crystal nuclei of various colors.

There are light-colored ones and dark-colored ones.

“Now, post-apocalyptic crystal cores are the circulating currency. These crystal cores can be used to hire superhumans to work for you.” Xie Cheng started his business, and when he said these words, it was as if he were talking about ordinary business.

"Can Dad protect you in this base? But no one can say for sure what will happen in the apocalypse. Maybe one day Dad will go out and never come back." Xie Cheng said, "I brought you here because it's safer than the basement. Many zombies have mutated now. Although most of them are in terms of speed and strength, research has shown that there may be zombies that have evolved in intelligence. After all, the mutated zombies now have their own consciousness."

The crystals in this small box represent almost half of Xie Cheng's fortune.

It's important to know that one low-level enemy crystal core represents the killing of a low-level mutated zombie.

Xie Cheng's own ability upgrades require the consumption of crystal cores, so it's quite a lot that he managed to keep so many.

"I don't have any special abilities," Xie Qingyu said to Xie Cheng.

“I know, it’s precisely because you don’t have any special abilities that these are left for you,” Xie Cheng said. “Otherwise, you could absorb them right now.”

"In a few days, I will arrange for you to go out with the base's team to search for supplies. There may be some dangers. It will depend on whether you can awaken your superpower. Even if you can't, it's okay."

Xie Cheng had already prepared for the worst. "I will arrange for someone to protect you closely and ensure your safe return. But my dear daughter, people's hearts are unreliable in the apocalypse. If possible, your father still hopes that you can awaken your superpower, even if it is the most useless one."

It's not that Xie Cheng is pessimistic.

If he could, he would rather Xie Qingyu not have to worry about anything, as long as he could protect her from the wind and rain.

But that's impossible. Unexpected events can happen at any time in the apocalypse, and he can't be by Xie Qingyu's side all the time.

He hoped Xie Qingyu could have some ability to protect herself; if she really couldn't, he would think of other ways.

For example, binding superpowered individuals with other relationships.

Xie Chengwei considered many things for Xie Qingyu; having more ways to survive in the apocalypse was naturally the best thing.

If Xie Qingyu is unable to awaken her superpowers, she will have to take another path.

Xie Qingyu hugged the crystal cores, closed the lids, and put them aside, then looked at Xie Cheng.

Being looked at with admiration by his pampered daughter would melt anyone's heart, especially with Xie Qingyu's sweet words, "Dad, you've worked hard these past six months, haven't you? You've saved up so many crystal cores for me. You must have gone through a lot of dangers. Now that your base is established, can you reduce the dangers a bit?"

Hearing these words, Xie Cheng felt that these crystal cores were not given away for nothing. "When the apocalypse first came, money was still useful. At that time, I took the opportunity to collect some resources, which made my path easier than that of ordinary ability users."

Xie Cheng lovingly stroked Xie Qingyu's hair.

With his years of business experience, he transformed his resources when the apocalypse first arrived, establishing a small advantage in the early stages, which enabled him to achieve his current status.

However, after spending a long time in the apocalypse, you realize that no one can predict what will happen tomorrow.

Even though there are reports that vaccines are being developed at bases in the north.

But even if it succeeds, getting to the base in the north will not be an easy task.

He can only use what he has to protect those he wants to protect and survive in this apocalypse.

"Your Aunt Chang..." Xie Cheng hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Xie Qingyu looked down at the crystal core in the safe and then looked up again, "As long as Dad likes it."

Xie Cheng probably hadn't expected Xie Qingyu to be so sensible, and said, "You don't need to worry about her. You'll always be the most important person to Dad. As for Chang Qing, just treat her as you see fit."

This means that Xie Qingyu doesn't need to worry about them.

Xie Cheng continued, "Ji Lingshen...you can get to know him better. He's a good kid, and he might be useful to you in the future."

Ji Lingshen's wood-based supernatural ability is the main reason he can stay here.

"I understand." Xie Qingyu could easily understand the unspoken meaning in Xie Cheng's words.

Ji Lingshen is still useful.

Xie Qingyu recalled Ji Lingshen's state just now and had some guesses, but she didn't ask.

"I'll put this in your room. Don't tell anyone. If something happens to me one day, you can use some to hire someone to help you, but only a little. Don't reveal too much," Xie Cheng instructed.

Xie Qingyu nodded.

Xie Cheng placed the safe in an opening in the wall of Xie Qingyu's room, as if it had been prepared beforehand.

Xie Qingyu thought about the crystal core in the box as she drifted off to sleep.

At night, the familiar twig peeked in through the window again. It seemed to have discovered something different here. After shaking its head left and right to explore without noticing anything, the twig climbed towards Xie Qingyu on the bed.

Shallow breathing indicates that the person in bed is sleeping soundly.

The buds and branches are causing trouble.

The person in the dream only felt an itch on their ankle, and reached out to scratch it in the dream.

When Xie Qingyu woke up the next day, she did not remember being disturbed in her dream the night before.

She went out with Xie Cheng.

Chang Qing learned the news at the breakfast table that morning, and thinking about what Chang Xinrui had told her yesterday, she managed to keep herself silent.

Then they could only watch helplessly as Xie Qingyu left with Xie Cheng.

Chang Qing stood at the door, her obedient daughter expression vanishing, and turned to see Ji Lingshen standing beside her.

Her gaze shifted. "Shen, you need to work harder. Right now, you're the only superhuman by Dad's side. Xie Qingyu is here, but she doesn't have any superpowers... The young master of this base still depends on you."

Ji Lingshen lowered her gaze, her curled eyelashes casting a natural shadow that added to the pitiful atmosphere. "I can't do much, but it would be good enough if I could do my part for Dad."

Upon hearing this, Chang Qing was about to speak up and tell him to get his bearings, since the base currently only had one level three ability user besides Xie Cheng, and that user was a useless earth-type ability user.

Ji Lingshen's level two wood-type ability is what sustains the entire base's supply of vegetables and fruits.

But if I didn't say it out loud, I felt like I lacked presence.

Looking at Ji Lingshen's current state, it's clear that cultivating wood-type growth is very mentally taxing.

"Take good care of yourself," Chang Qing said subconsciously, then, feeling a bit cold, added, "Your health is the most important thing."
