Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Seemingly sensing Chu Deng's coldness, He Feiquan did not become overly enthusiastic afterward, and left after taking Chu Deng to the Beijing City Superpower Base.

After registering her new level as instructed, Chu Deng wanted to exchange some resources. She currently had two space-type crystal cores, which were of little use to her. She thought it would be better to exchange them for some wood-type crystal cores for Jin Xiaoyue to save. Fire-type crystal cores were also good, as they could soothe the dark clouds that accompanied her on her travels.

The exchange window at the Beijing base is staffed by a human operator. After Chu Deng explained her purpose, the person in charge of the window took the box Chu Deng handed over and put it into a machine for inspection. As the machine beeped, the young woman smiled professionally and said, "What service do you need? It's almost time for your break today. If you're not in a hurry, you can do it this afternoon."

Chu Deng glanced at the young lady, whose smile remained unchanged, but who simply winked at her.

Chu Deng didn't understand, but she still went along with what the other person said and said, "Okay."

"Okay, please keep this safe." The young lady returned the box to Chu Deng and continued serving the next person.

Chu Deng glanced at the time in the base lobby, then went to the self-service exchange machine to get a new personal computer. There were all sorts of items damaged in battles by superhumans, including personal computers. Chu Deng even saw some packaged clothes.

"Does anyone really come to the base lobby dressed in tattered clothes after a battle to change into something like this?" Chu Deng wondered to himself.

Given that she had quite a few points, Chu Deng exchanged them for a piece of bread and a bottle of water, and sat in the rest area of ​​the lobby to fill her stomach, just in time to meet the person at the exchange window.

"Hello, I'm sorry to have taken up your time." The young lady's name was Chang Jing, and she had come specifically to find Chu Deng.

"Hello." Chu Deng nodded. "Was there a problem just now?"

“Yes, one of the crystal cores was fake. If you wanted to exchange it, I would have had to confiscate it.” Chang Jing didn’t keep Chu Deng in suspense and told him directly, “But this crystal core is very interesting. Although it is fake, it can fool the machine. Only people with the same type of ability can detect it when they absorb it.”

Chu Deng pondered Chang Jing's words, "Do you want the real one or the fake one?"

Chang Jing smiled and said, "It's so much easier to talk to smart people. I want both of them. Name your price."

"Why do you need a fake one?"

Chang Jing's smile deepened. "Don't worry, I'm not doing anything bad." She pointed to her forehead. "The counterfeit crystal cores currently on the market are all space-type. I've taken on a mission to find the source. I need the fake ones for two reasons: first, to retrieve them, and second, to use this opportunity to buy some information from you."

"Okay, 3 million for both."

"Deal." Afraid that Chu Deng would change his mind, Chang Jing quickly tapped a few times on the personal terminal and handed Chu Deng a black card.

After accepting the money, Chu Deng's expression softened considerably. "This one really was dug out of the brain of a Level 3 Space System user named Lu Shan. The fake one was found on him."

She spoke without any emotion, yet it sent chills down Chang Jing's spine, causing her to stutter, "Ah, ah, is that so?"

"Any other questions?" Chu Deng asked calmly.

Chang Jing shook her head as if she were about to shake it off, saying, "No, no, please take care." She even used polite language towards Chu Deng, who was clearly younger than her, at the end.

Chu Deng glanced at Chang Jing, whose forehead was starting to break out in a cold sweat, then turned and left.

As soon as the person left, Chang Jing was stunned. Lu Shan was dead?

No one would force her to leak the inside information anymore; she was completely safe.

Chang Jing relaxed, her hand holding the box loosening and then tightening again. She belatedly looked in the direction Chu Deng had left. Sunlight poured onto the ground outside the door, seemingly foreshadowing her future.
