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

These people were assigned to different places.

Because of Xie Cheng's status, his family was directly allocated a villa.

This made Chang Xinrui extremely happy.

Having just arrived at this base, there are many things to adapt to. Although no one cooks in this villa right now, it's still easier to accept than going to a place where ordinary people live.

Xie Cheng didn't go home for three days straight while at the base.

Xie Qingyu and Ji Lingshen also attended two meetings over the past three days, mainly to explain some survival rules of the Northern Base, some rules for people with superpowers, and the matter of missions.

The superhumans here have to shoulder even more responsibilities.

Not only will they be tasked with ensuring the safe operation of the base, but sometimes they also need to preserve some evolved zombies to facilitate the development of serum.

On the evening of the third day, Xie Cheng finally returned.

"I'm going on a mission tomorrow," Xie Cheng announced at the dinner table.

"What kind of mission?" Xie Qingyu asked immediately.

Xie Cheng had already rarely gone on missions while he was at the base.

Moreover, the image of the side effects of his last absorption of crystal cores was still fresh in Xie Qingyu's mind. When she heard him say that he was going on a mission, Xie Qingyu's first reaction was to worry.

"There won't be much danger for Ying and Ai. They'll just need to go to a university lab to see if they can find any usable experimental supplies." Xie Cheng didn't have a particular attitude towards this mission.

He had already mentally prepared himself when he decided to go to the northern base.

Once he's here, he can no longer make the decisions as he does at his own base.

"Do you want us to come with you?" Xie Qingyu was still worried.

"We don't need you here. Level 1 ability users don't go on missions much. What you need to do now is to improve yourself."

When Xie Cheng came to her room that evening, Xie Qingyu understood what he meant by those words.

"Why are you giving me so many again?" Xie Qingyu asked, looking at the crystal cores Xie Cheng had placed in front of her.

“If you want to survive in this base, even a level one ability isn’t enough. At most, it’ll be enough to keep you fed and clothed. You should level up as soon as possible,” Xie Cheng said.

"Keep some for yourself," Xie Qingyu said.

These crystal cores are probably all that Xie Cheng has left.

"There's no use for me keeping them. Maybe my constitution isn't good. The side effects of level three are already very obvious. If I try to upgrade to level four, I'll probably die. You can have them all."

Although Xie Cheng's words were somewhat heartbreaking, they were indeed the truth.

Xie Qingyu has learned in the past few days that there are three level-four ability users at the Northern Base, but none of them have experienced significant side effects.

However, some superhumans already experience significant side effects at level two.

I don't know if this is related to individual constitution, but the side effects certainly vary from person to person.

After Xie Cheng put down all the crystal cores, he left. Xie Qingyu watched his figure close the door and felt uneasy.

Xie Cheng's mission took several days.

It's been so long that Ji Lingshen has been helping out at the base, and Xie Qingyu has been assisting for two days, but they still haven't returned.

Xie Qingyu vaguely remembered the university Xie Cheng mentioned, which wasn't far from here.

"They're looking for something, so it'll probably take them a little while," Ji Lingshen reassured them.

Xie Qingyu could only console herself in this way.

They went to work during the day and spent the rest of their time thinking about Xie Cheng, completely unaware of the unusual behavior of Chang Xinrui and Chang Qing these past two days.

In the room where they couldn't see, Chang Qing was pacing anxiously.

Chang Xinrui sat on the bed watching her swaying figure and couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

Chang Qing suddenly stopped. "Anyway, their faces are very similar, but I haven't gotten close enough to be completely sure. If you went there, you would definitely be able to recognize them, wouldn't you?"

Chang Qing was somewhat agitated.

"What if it really is him?" Chang Qing asked.

Chang Xinrui closed her eyes; she didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Never mind, you come with me tomorrow to sneak a look and confirm if it's true, then we'll discuss it further." Chang Qing was able to make a decision at this point.

The next morning, after breakfast, the four of them went out separately.

The people in the house are all preoccupied with their own thoughts, and no one is paying attention to the actions of the other two.

The bad news came in the afternoon.

When Xie Qingyu was informed of Xie Cheng's sacrifice, she was still in the base's planting room cultivating fruits and vegetables with Ji Lingshen.

"What did you say?" Xie Qingyu suddenly stood up from her squatting position, still a little unsteady on her feet, but she didn't care at all.

"What do you mean by 'sacrificed'?" Xie Qingyu asked, puzzled. "A mission resulted in the sacrifice of a level three ability user?"

The person who came to inform Xie Qingyu was clearly used to seeing superhumans sacrifice themselves; even when questioned like this, their emotions remained stable.

"Mr. Xie Cheng was surrounded by zombies during his mission and was unfortunately bitten. For the sake of the base, we cannot bring his body back."

After being bitten, a person with superpowers is usually executed by their own people before turning into a zombie, because some people have discovered that when a person with superpowers turns into a zombie, they are directly evolving into a zombie.

This means that Xie Cheng was beaten to death.

There wasn't even a corpse.

Xie Qingyu stared blankly at Ji Lingshen, but it seemed as if she wasn't looking at him at all.

Ji Lingshen reached out to wipe away Xie Qingyu's tears, but there were just too many to wipe away.

Xie Qingyu's fingers twitched slightly, touching her pants pocket, where the crystal core Xie Cheng had given her was still inside.

Before Xie Cheng left, he told her that crystal cores were hard currency in the base, and that she should take one or two with her so that she could solve any problems that might arise.

But unexpectedly, before the crystal core could be put to use, Xie Cheng was gone.

Moreover, no remains were found, and the person could not be located.

"Where did he die?" Xie Qingyu asked in a hoarse voice.

"According to other mission participants, it is probably in a laboratory on the fifth floor of the Biology Department at SS University."

"I understand." Xie Qingyu's voice was as soft as it could be, but it faintly revealed a sense of determination.

Xie Qingyu didn't even know when or how she got home.

They also failed to notice the unease on Chang Xinrui's and Chang Qing's faces.

When Chang Xinrui saw Ji Lingshen helping Xie Qingyu into the house, and saw Xie Qingyu's red and swollen eyes and tear stains on her face, she was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Chang Xinrui asked.

Ji Lingshen glanced at her. "Didn't you receive a notification this afternoon?"

afternoon?

Chang Xinrui's eyes flickered. "I was taking a nap this afternoon. What announcement?"

"Uncle Xie has sacrificed himself." Ji Lingshen watched Chang Xinrui's expression change from shock to confusion, and finally to a hint of indescribable joy.

When she spoke, she was filled with shock and grief, "How could this happen?"
