Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Just Take It Down Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Just Take It Down The spacious and polished desk was graced by a seductively dressed woman, her long, shapely legs exposed; the pose she struck with one hand supporting her from behind made her figure even more curvaceous.

Ren Qin’s flirtatious demeanor made Liu Jianyuan unable to resist pinching her slender waist.

Such a slender waist.

“Qinqin is right, I am the Base Leader here, and no matter how much those people jump around, they can’t touch me,”
Besides, he didn’t believe that the True Martial Sect had that many resources; he was curious to see how long they could keep selling them.

Liu Jianyuan moved closer, and before long, from the still open office door spilled sounds that blushed the cheeks and set hearts racing…

Across from the True Martial Sect, within a small white western-style house that had already closed for the day, a family lay exhausted in their living room.

They still adhered to the method of distributing number tokens for the following day, which was why no one thought to line up overnight; otherwise, there would still be a crowd gathered at the door.

“Thank goodness Wu Xingye’s people were helping us, or we wouldn’t have had any time to rest,”
Lin Cheng said.

“There are way more people here than in D City; Xiao Jin thought we could finish in ten days, but I think it won’t be over even in twenty,”
They hadn’t expected the market in F City’s base to be so big; there were even more survivors here than at the S City base.

Just then, someone knocked on the door of the small house. Judging by the rhythmic sound, Lin Xiuyuan was sure it was Wu Xingye’s doing.

However, it was Wan Anran, Wu Xingye’s second disciple, who arrived.

Had this disciple even learned the teacher’s way of knocking?

“I’m sorry for disturbing you this late,”
Wan Anran said apologetically.

“Brother Wan, is there something you need?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked, wondering if there was some kind of emergency.

“Have you heard any rumors around the base recently?”

Seeing that all of them shook their heads, Wan Anran proceeded to explain what had been happening outside lately.

Long Aotian and the others had only recently arrived at the base, and apart from selling resources, they hadn’t been out, so it was normal for them not to have heard anything.

“Are you worried that the Base might do something?”

Su Xiangzhe read into Wan Anran’s intentions; however, this wasn’t the first time they’d encountered such matters. Honestly, they weren’t scared of much, but they were concerned about causing trouble for the True Martial Sect.

“You don’t need to worry about the True Martial Sect; although we don’t look for trouble, we are not afraid of it either. Right now, we’re all just concerned that the Base might target you guys, which is why Teacher Wu sent me to warn you,”
Wan Anran said with a smile. Ever since the day Wu Xingye had indeed bought several thousand catties of grain, their Sect had managed to gather some more Crystal Cores, including some unknown Mutated Crystal Nuclei. Long Aotian and his team had also readily sold another batch of resources to them.

Now, the stores in the True Martial Sect’s warehouse could sustain them for well over half a year.

So that was it.

They weren’t worried about them causing trouble for the True Martial Sect.

“Then you have even less to worry about. Like the True Martial Sect, we don’t start trouble, but we’re not afraid of it either. Brother Wan, rest assured, we can handle it,”
If all else fails, just hit the road.

Lin Xiuyuan thought calmly.

“May I ask… Brother Long, what is your Special Ability?”

Wan Anran, seeing that Long Aotian and his people seemed far from afraid, became even more curious about his abilities.

“Me? I, Long Aotian, am a Level Six Ice-Element Special Ability User. My teammates and brothers here are all around Level Five,”
Huang Yunxiang almost spat out her water at Lin Xiuyuan’s words.

This little rascal, what nonsense is he spouting?!

Wan Anran was truly frightened this time, Level Five?! Level Six?!

“Do you guys know what the highest level is at the F City base currently?”

Wan Anran asked excitedly.

“No idea,”
Lin Xiuyuan and his family shook their heads in unison, as they hadn’t even entered the gates of the F City base, let alone know the situation regarding Special Ability Users there.

“As far as we know, the two Level Four Ability Users of our True Martial Sect, including myself, are the highest level at this stage,”
Wan Anran looked enviously at this group of people with their simple and honest appearances. Could it be that all the powerful are so low-key?

“Level Four…”
The family found it somewhat unbelievable, how could the highest be only Level Four?

“This has to do with the fact that Ordinary Crystal Cores can’t circulate in the base, without Crystal Cores to absorb, many Special Ability Users level up extremely slowly, and the failure rate for leveling up is high too,”
Wan Anran, just in his twenties, sighed, which made Lin Xiuyuan always feel like he looked at least in his thirties.

“Then you should rebel, wouldn’t it be enough to just take down the Base Leader?”

Nie Qing also spoke up, if he had to trade Mutated Crystal Nucleus for food every day, he would have already lost his temper.

“Exactly, wouldn’t it be enough to just take him down,”
Lin Xiuyuan continued, recalling the time in D City, hadn’t those people succeeded? He wondered if D City still had enough resources for them to eat now.

Su Xiangzhe kept giving Nie Qing and Lin Xiuyuan warning looks. Could you really say such things so casually in front of others?

That’s the Base Leader of a base, after all!

“Gentlemen… you truly are men of character. Talent brings bravery, Wan here admires that,”
When Wan Anran left, his steps were somewhat staggered, as he really didn’t know how to explain to his sect members after going back.

Long Aotian is an Ice-Element Level Six Special Ability User, and the others are all Level Five?

They’re totally not worried about Long Aotian and even suggest taking down Liu Jianyuan?

…

“Lin Xiuyuan! Get over here!”

A moment after Wan Anran left, Huang Yunxiang angrily grabbed Lin Xiuyuan’s ear.

Ice-Element Level Six?

Everyone else has Level Five Abilities?

“Are you making up lies without even drafting them now?”

Lin Cheng said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. From whom exactly had he learned the skill of boasting? Just now, in front of Wan Anran, he claimed they were teammates and big brothers, even changing their seniority.

“Mom, mom, I know I was wrong, please be gentler!”

Lin Xiuyuan begged for mercy; how could he have known that the abilities of the people in this base were so low? If he had known, he wouldn’t have had to brag to stand out!

“Younger Brother Lin, Sister Huang, don’t blame Xiuyuan. He just wanted to make us look good. Besides, our family’s Special Abilities are all solid and stable. Even if we exaggerated by one level, nobody could tell,”
Nie Qing came to the rescue, although Lin Xiuyuan’s Ice-Element Special Abilities were currently Level Five, he had mentioned a few days ago that he felt close to leveling up. So claiming to be Level Six wasn’t too far-fetched.

Looking at Lin Xiuyuan, who was trying to make amends with a smile, Huang Yunxiang gave him a glance and warned him not to go around saying anything unnecessary in front of others.

“Also, how could you talk about taking down the Base Leader right in front of the people from the base? If they didn’t know any better, they might think you have a grudge against the Base Leader!”

Su Xiangzhe also sighed. It was one thing for the young Lin Xiuyuan to say such things, but even the old man Nie Qing was making thoughtless comments. He genuinely hoped that their mediocre team could hold out safely until Su Jin and Lu Hao returned…
