Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

The flowers were very beautiful, attracting He Yuzhu's attention.

Since this flower appears in space, it means that it may be related to space.

In other words, it is very likely related to one's own time travel.

Of course, there is also a second possibility, that is, the flowers appear in the space through other means.

He Yuzhu thought about it and decided to take a risk.

Don't pluck the flower, but see what it will become in the end.

There is one very difficult point in this situation, and that is the issue of the crystal core.

According to the flower, its growth requires a lot of energy, which means it needs a lot of crystal cores.

Now, it has absorbed thousands of crystal cores, but it is still not satisfied.

If we wait for it to really grow up, I don’t know how long it will take.

Where can I find this crystal core?

It's really a dilemma.

Also, he has to investigate Bai Xuan's affairs.

All of this piled up together gave him a headache.

Right now, Bai Xuan’s matter is more important.

He Yuzhu took out half of the remaining crystal cores in the warehouse and gave them to Hou Da, Hou Er and others, and told Hua that she could absorb the rest.

Afterwards, he asked Hou Da and Hou Er to stare at the flowers, and if there were any other changes, they should call him in their minds.

This way He Yuzhu will know.

After doing all this, He Yuzhu left the space.

Stayed in the hotel for one night.

The next morning, he went out and wandered around the city to see if he could find any new information.

The scene outside was the same as yesterday, with vendors lining both sides of the quaint street.

He Yuzhu walked around everywhere, trying to find out information about Bai Xuan, but the residents in the city didn't seem to know much about the city lord.

All we know is that the city lord is of a very high level. When the White City was first built, he killed high-level mutant beasts such as giant pythons, tigers, and lions that escaped from the zoo.

At that time, his level was already at level eight.

Now that so much time has passed, the level should have been improved.

They said that Bai Xuan had not appeared for three months, and all matters in the city were handed over to Tong Tianyue, the chief supervisor.

He Yuzhu also saw the photo of Tong Tianyue, a woman in her twenties who looked very strong.

According to them, Tong Tianyue's rank was only slightly lower than that of the city lord, and he was the second most powerful person in Baicheng.

We wandered around outside like this until evening.

The sun slowly set in the west, and the afterglow of the sunset shone into the White City, dyeing everything red.

Combined with the quaint streets and buildings, it is very beautiful.

He Yuzhu had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery as he was now entangled by a woman.

The woman was wearing a light green dress that showed off her beautiful curves. She had a pretty face and long hair.

Now she held He Yuzhu's arm with one hand, her eyes full of pleading.

"Please, come on."

"It's not expensive. Ten crystal cores are enough for one time. You can do whatever you want."

She pulled He Yuzhu towards the small room at the back.

"No, what do you mean?"

He Yuzhu originally wanted to go back to the hotel, but when he got here, he was grabbed by this woman.

He looked at her and found that he didn't recognize this woman.

He Yuzhu thought he was exposed, but after listening to this woman, it seemed that was not the case.

The woman said, "Come in and you'll know. I will definitely satisfy you."

As she spoke, she leaned towards He Yuzhu, and her plump chest rubbed against He Yuzhu's arm.

He Yuzhu now understood what kind of business this woman was doing.

He pulled his arm out, "Ahem, sorry, I'm not interested."

After saying that, he was leaving.

The woman immediately stood in front of him.

"Please, just help me, just once."

"Nine, no, eight crystal cores will do."

He Yuzhu frowned when he heard this. How could one stop someone and force them to do business like this?

"I told you, I'm not interested. If you try to stop me again, I'm going to hit you."

The woman stared at He Yuzhu for a few seconds, then finally moved aside.

Tears flowed from her eyes. "What should I do?"

"Without customers, I can't earn crystal cores. What should I do?"

He Yuzhu felt that this woman was a little strange, so he asked out of curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

The woman just cried. A man selling expired instant noodles next to her sighed and said, "Tomorrow is the payment day. If you can't pay the fee, Xiaoyu will be kicked out of Baicheng."

"With her condition, she will die if she leaves the city."

"Unfortunately, I am not well-off, otherwise I would definitely take care of her business."

He looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother, if you have a crystal core, why not take care of Xiaoyu? She has a good reputation and will definitely satisfy you."

He Yuzhu was stunned, "Ah?"

"Pay, what fee?"

The man explained it again, and He Yuzhu finally understood that as long as they entered Baicheng and registered their willingness to become residents at the City Lord's Mansion, everyone could use crystal cores to buy houses in the city, do business, and be protected by guards.

But correspondingly, you have to pay a fee every week.

Fifty secondary crystal cores at a time.

If you don't pay, you will be expelled from White City.

Based on past experience, few people who were expelled from White City survived.

There are many zombies around White City.

Generally, people who cannot afford the fees are not of a very high level. Once they go out and encounter zombies, they will have no way out but death.

And this person named Xiaoyu is at level two.

Once you get out, you will definitely die, and you probably won’t even last a day.

She had been in Baicheng for more than two months, and all the crystal cores she had with her were used up on the first day.

It is by doing this kind of business that I have been able to survive until now.

But now, there are not many people in the city who have crystal cores, and they are unwilling to spend their crystal cores on this place.

So Xiaoyu’s expenses for this week are not enough.

She was anxious, seeing that He Yuzhu seemed like a new face and had done that.

Xiaoyu burst into tears, "I...I don't want to do this either..."

"But, if not...how can I live..."

"I don't want to do this kind of business... I don't want to ruin my body..."

"But I want to live..."

The man selling instant noodles next to him sighed again, "Alas... In this end times, there is no way for people like us to survive..."

"One more day to live is one more day..."

He looked at He Yuzhu again, "Brother, if you have a crystal core, please take care of Xiaoyu's business."

"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
