Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 770 - 303: Assigning Rooms and Giving Money_3

Well, I didn’t expect City Hall to be so direct, just handing out money...

Wang Tao was quite surprised, but he found it to be good; after all, he might not have use for other things, but Crystal Coins were definitely useful to him.

Cui Sheng then pointed to the wristwatch and said,

"This is a communication wrist device, which records your personal details, account information, and other data. The wrist device connects to our base’s network, allowing you to communicate, publish information, and conduct Crystal Coin transactions and other activities. However, this requires a network connection, meaning it only works within our base.

If you leave the base, the device will go offline, restricting many of its functions. Oh right, the wrist device also charges a fixed monthly fee of 10 Crystal Coins..."

After listening to Cui Sheng’s explanation, Wang Tao looked at his communication wrist device, which was quite bulky and a bit clumsy-looking, but he appreciated its functionality.

Next was the Crystal Coin Card, similar to the bank cards of the past, each card inscribed with a name and specific information; even Lightning had one.

Wang Tao quickly glanced at the notes, finding that most people, including Lightning, had 1,000 Crystal Coins written on theirs. Lan Yulian’s note had 5,000 Crystal Coins while Wang Tao’s own note displayed 20,000 Crystal Coins.

Cui Sheng explained:

"According to our base city’s standards, a Level 1 ability user joining the base for the first time can receive a 10 Crystal Coin subsidy; a Second-Order Superpower Owner can get 100 Crystal Coins; a Level 3 ability user can get 1,000 Crystal Coins; and a Fourth-order Superpower can get 10,000 Crystal Coins...

If you have other roles, such as being a Force Leader or saving many survivors, there might be additional bonuses."

"I see."

Wang Tao nodded.

City Hall was quite generous in this regard; he just wasn’t sure about the purchasing power of 1 Crystal Coin.

However, judging by the envious expressions of Cui Sheng and Duan Xuchang by his side, these Crystal Coins must be quite valuable.

"Mr. Wang, now that the items have been delivered, I won’t disturb you any further. This is my contact information. Should you need anything, please inform me directly; I am always available. As for your residence, since it’s been unoccupied for a while, I will have someone clean it inside and out, which might take about a day. After it’s clean, I will contact you."

Cui Sheng handed over a business card with a series of numbers on it, which Wang Tao could use to contact him through the wrist device.

"Alright, thank you for your trouble. Take care."

Wang Tao stood up. Stay connected via novelbuddy

"Please, stay."

Duan Xuchang saw Cui Sheng out, then returned and said to Wang Tao,

"As I said, our base is quite generous! There’s been a lot of fluctuation between Crystal Coins and Crystal Cores exchange rates, so it’s hard to give a precise figure. But, if we go by the previous rates, 10,000 Crystal Coins could be exchanged for two or three Level 4 Crystal Cores!"

Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, the purchasing power of the Crystal Coins was higher than he had imagined!

Including Lightning, there were 17 people in their group. Fifteen of them received 1,000 Crystal Coins, Jade Lotus got 5,000 Crystal Coins, and he himself received 20,000 Crystal Coins. That added up to a total of 40,000 Gold Coins. Didn’t that amount to about 10 Level 4 Crystal Cores?

"Indeed, quite generous!"

Wang Tao said with a smile as he nodded.

He planned to check later if these Crystal Coins could be exchanged for a Level 4 Crystal Core; he was in dire need of them. It would be great if the exchange was possible, but it seemed unlikely—anyone with such items would probably use them for themselves instead of trading them away...

"By the way, this Cui Sheng is a secretary from City Hall. While his benefits are not bad, he’s not officially employed, so he’s sure to want to climb higher. If he can serve you well and get you into a somewhat official position in City Hall, he would earn significant benefits..."

"No wonder..."

Wang Tao thought to himself; no surprise the man was so deferential—he had an agenda!

"Actually, I personally suggest you take up a position at City Hall as well, even just nominally. I’m not saying this just for the extra salary, but it’s also about contributing to the base, haha! Of course, joining the base doesn’t mean you can take up a position right away; there’s still a period of assessment needed..."

"Alright, I’ll consider it."

Wang Tao disliked inconvenience, but he recognized Duan Xuchang’s good intention.

It was already noon, and Wang Tao invited Duan Xuchang to stay for lunch. Duan Xuchang did not refuse.

After completing the mission to rescue Zijin Base, he had a long vacation and could arrange his time freely. Hosting Wang Tao for these few days was also a chance for him to relax.

After lunch, Duan Xuchang called for a minibus and took Wang Tao and his group around the nearby area.

With money in hand, Wang Tao intended to spend some, but nothing he saw seemed worth it.

"The base center has a lot for sale, even Powered Armor. But that’s really expensive..." Duan Xuchang explained to Wang Tao.

Wang Tao’s eyes lit up; he was just about to ask Duan Xuchang where he could buy Powered Armor. Once Cui Sheng had cleaned the house, he would move there and visit the city center to see if he could get a Powered Armor set to study!

The group spent the afternoon strolling around, with plans for Duan Xuchang to take Wang Tao out after dinner. Changhe Base had a vibrant nightlife, after all.

But suddenly Duan Xuchang received a message, apparently an urgent matter.

"Sorry, I need to leave for a bit."

"No worries, go ahead."

After seeing Duan Xuchang off, Wang Tao turned to the others and said,

"How about going out on our own after dinner? I hear there’s some exciting performance here..."

"Sure!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It had been a long time since they had been so relaxed.

After dinner, the group headed to the streets, ready to follow Wang Tao to see the thrilling performance.

Just then, they saw a patch of red in the dark sky in the distance.

"What is that?"
