Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Striking It Rich

Xiao Si felt as if countless sharp spikes were piercing into his brain at that moment, causing him such pain that he couldn’t help but scream out loud.

Mao Qiqi’s Mental Element Ability had probably advanced to Level Three because she often used it to communicate with Lian Jiyue.

A Level Three Mental Element Ability could not only freely use a Mental Element Barrier, but also transform into a Mental Element Attack. As long as the opponent entered her attack range, the Mental Element would turn into an invisible blade attacking the opponent’s brain nerves.

She had previously only tested it on zombies, but since zombies do not feel pain, the effect was not very good. She had not expected that today someone would provoke her, which would allow her to test the effect of her spiritual power attack.

The scarred man and the group behind him took on an attacking stance, unaware of what Xiao Si had encountered, but Xiao Si indeed appeared to have been attacked.

“What did you do to him?!”

The scarred man shouted loudly.

Mao Qiqi did not answer; instead, she walked forward, picked up the basket of Crystal Cores, and then quietly walked over to their car, placing the basket inside.

Xiao Si suddenly felt his head stop hurting, but the pain he had just experienced was so intense that his expression was still in a dazed state.

The scarred man saw that the two were ignoring them and seemed to not take them seriously at all, which made him uncontrollably angry. He swiftly threw a knife in their direction.

But the moment the man next to the little girl turned his head, the knife flew back towards him in the opposite direction!

How could that be? He was controlling the knife with his Metal Element Ability.

Could that man also be a Metal Element user?

He tried using his Metal Element Ability again, but his knife was completely out of his control, and it was thrusting straight at his face!

Bang!

The scarred man deployed a Golden Shield to block the knife, but the knife did not give up and turned, flying towards the people behind him!

Had they kicked an iron plate?

“Everyone, attack!”

The scarred man waved his hand towards his followers. He couldn’t believe it—an adult man and a little girl dared to provoke him?

But as soon as he finished speaking, screams came from behind him. The knife was still flying around, attacking them!

It was that man!

A large Fireball flew towards Lian Jiyue and the duo, but Lian Jiyue, holding Mao Qiqi with one hand, jumped out of the range of the Fireball attack. The Fireball hit a zombie corpse on the ground and burst into flames.

The scarred man only felt a fierce light flash in the eyes of the man, who was actually holding the little girl and running fast toward them!

Mao Qiqi sat steadily in Lian Jiyue’s arms, finding the experience of being carried while running quite fun.

Those people had wanted to steal their Crystal Cores from the beginning and had been attacking them repeatedly, so this time, she did not stop Lian Jiyue.

“Ah! Ah!!”

The scarred man watched as the man effortlessly passed through the Wind Ball thrown by his companion, then chopped off the opponent’s arm with a single strike!

Various Special Abilities were thrown at the man and the girl all at once.

Bang!

Clang!

“Xiao Yue, you guys can’t go any farther. I’ve heard that the group stealing Crystal Cores is getting more reckless. If you encounter them, don’t confront them directly,” Lin Tianzhen said to Lian Jiyue.

Lian Jiyue nodded his head. These days, he had been able to get along with the family just fine, even though it was just simple nods, smiles, and shakes of the head, outsiders wouldn’t think there was anything amiss.

“Don’t worry, Mom, we won’t encounter them,” Mao Qiqi said as she opened a bottle of fruit milk, put a straw in it, and handed it to Lian Jiyue, then taught him how to drink the sweet and sour milk through the straw.

Lin Tianzhen shook her head and went back to tending to her business.

Xiao Jin and the rest, they have really brought back a formidable person…

…

The number of Crystal Cores obtained from the zombie tide outside the industrial park wasn’t as many as several hundred thousand, probably because the surrounding wall was too low making it look like there were many zombies, but in reality, they had only obtained eighty thousand cores.

Nevertheless, Su Jin and the others were quite satisfied, considering the eighty thousand cores were gotten unexpectedly.

That night, making use of the two hours of power supply in the industrial park, the family sat with several calculators, each rapidly calculating the numbers of Crystal Cores noted in their accounts over these days.

They had been here for seven days now and had almost absorbed all the Crystal Cores from the survivors’ hands in City A, so Su Jin and Lu Hao were already planning to leave for City D.

When everyone had finished their own accounts and added them up again, they discovered that in these seven days, they had actually earned 660,000 Crystal Cores!

This figure really surprised everyone, who could have imagined that disguising themselves and selling grain could be so profitable?!

“We’ve struck it rich!”

Lin Xiuyuan said excitedly, holding a pink calculator.

“Keep your voice down,” Huang Yunxiang immediately covered Lin Xiuyuan’s mouth, mindful that they weren’t in the safe confines of their own space, and without Qiqi nearby, it wouldn’t be good if someone outside heard them.
