Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

In the middle of the night, the little boy woke up and started crying, saying that bad guys were trying to catch him. Ning Ning coaxed him and gave him water and biscuits.

The little boy was so hungry that he ate with big mouthfuls of food and had no time to cry.

After he was full and burping, Ning Ning patted his back gently and asked him about his origins. He seemed to have some intellectual disabilities. Although he thought Ning Ning was not a bad person who wanted to catch him and was not mean to him, he dared to talk to Ning Ning, but he could not explain what he said clearly and could only roughly say his name.

Ning Ning nodded, thoughtfully, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the base tomorrow and you can find your mother."

The little boy had slept too long before and now couldn't fall asleep, so Ning Ning chatted with him.

After a while, the sky brightened, the gate of the base opened, and people swarmed in. However, not many people were able to produce crystal cores, and they were quickly driven away like the receding tide.

Ning Ning put away the blanket, picked up the little boy, handed four crystal cores to the soldiers guarding the gate, and took the little boy in amid the envious gazes of everyone.

The gatekeeper was stunned when he saw the little boy, and seemed to be hesitant to recognize him. "You kid—"

"I rescued him nearby. I saw that he was well-dressed and this is the largest base nearby, so I wanted to bring him here to try my luck and see if I could find his parents."

"Commander Chen, please come over here!"

The gatekeeper's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked his superior for instructions.

A very capable man in his thirties with short hair came over and saw the little boy. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his serious face, "Xiaobao, why are you here!"

"Uncle Chen!"

The little boy knew the man, so he stretched out his hand to him and started crying with a pout, "There are bad guys trying to catch me, wuwu..."

The "Commander Chen" hurriedly took him from Ning Ning's arms. That action might be more accurately described as "robbing".

After he confirmed that the little boy was not missing a beard or tail, and was not short of weight, he looked at Ning Ning, his eyes scrutinizing, "Why are you with Xiaobao?"

Ning Ning told him what happened. "Those two superpowered people probably thought I was here to ruin their plans. They came up and killed me without asking any questions. But I was really just passing by."

The officer surnamed Chen didn't hear any flaws. If Ning Ning had kidnapped the child, she wouldn't have come back so openly, so he nodded and said, "The child's relatives are anxious to see him. I'll send him over first, and we can talk about other things later. You won't leave here right away, right?"

"Of course, I'm going to fix it here."

"Okay, I'll excuse you now."

He hurriedly got into the car holding Xiaobao and left, while signaling the people around him to keep an eye on Ning Ning.

Ning Ning waved goodbye to Xiaobao, ignored the people who were staring at him, and went straight to find the staff in charge of renting houses.

Housing resources in the base are very tight now. Some rooms have to accommodate seven or eight people, and the rent is settled only with crystal cores. Even so, the supply is still insufficient to meet the demand. Some popular houses have to be auctioned to the highest bidder.

The staff member in charge of renting rooms was a bald man. He didn't even raise his eyelids when he looked at Ning Ning. "You're lucky. There's an empty bed in a four-person room with a nice environment. I can rent it to you. Two crystal cores per month."

"I'm not used to sharing a room with others. Are there any other rooms?"

The person in charge of keeping an eye on Ning Ning did not receive any further instructions. He just wanted to see where Ning Ning was staying and did not say hello for him.

So the bald man's eyes widened when he heard what he said, "Do you know that so many people want to live in such a nice room but can't afford it? How dare you be so picky? What do you want to live in? A villa?!"

Ning Ning was a down-to-earth person, and nodded immediately, "Really?"

"you--"

He was about to lose his temper when a man who was in a hurry to rent a house came over and bowed with a smile, "Don't be angry, he doesn't want that position, but I do."

As he spoke, the man handed over two crystal cores that had been wiped clean.

"Hmph, that's more like it! You were so picky, but this time the four-person room is out of the question!"

Handing the key to the man, the bald man looked at Ning Ning and saw that her nose was not a nose and her eyes were not eyes.

"Let me see. There is a room where ten people are already living. It is said that they can add an extra bed if they squeeze in. One crystal core is given every month. Let me see. That house is——"

The bald man flipped through the booklet, and reached out a hand to hold it down. "No need to go through so much trouble. I want to live in the villa."

"Live in a villa, live in a villa, OK, we have one villa left, but it costs thirty crystal cores every month! Can you afford it?"

The bald guy was going crazy. If he had hair, he would have scratched it into a mess.

There are a number of small villas in the town, which were originally built by real estate investors who intended to sell them as convalescent villas.

Unfortunately, the end of the world came before it could be sold. The villa is now mostly rented out to people with special abilities because they have more money and this is the only one they have left.

"I'm telling you, these thirty crystal cores must be paid in full at once. You can't default on payment—"

"Wow!"

Ning Ning threw a handful of crystal cores on the table, "I rented it."

Bald man: ...Brother, what you hold is a crystal core, not a glass ball.

He immediately put away his rebellious look, "Okay, okay, um, I'll get you the key, wait a moment. The villa has a great environment, water and electricity are all included, and there is a patrol team. Oh, the key is here--"

"Hey, you are in charge of renting the house. We have asked people outside if you have a villa. We want it!"

Suddenly three people walked in and interrupted the bald man.

The bald man was not very happy. He looked at the three men again and recognized that they were people with special abilities. He did not dare to refuse them outright. He said with some embarrassment, "The villa has already been taken. Why don't you look at other houses?"

"Oh my, who was it? It turned out to be Boss Ning! You're not dead yet, you're really capable!"

The three old acquaintances came in. They were shocked to see Ning Ning was still alive, especially Zhang Xin, whose eyes almost popped out!

However, the three words "Boss Ning" were pronounced in a circuitous way, which sounded irritating to the ears.

Ning Ning ignored them and waved to the bald man, "Where's the key? Give it to me."

"Well, well, they also want this house..."

The bald man looked back and forth, looking embarrassed.

After understanding what the bald man meant, Lu Xingyu was even more surprised. "You want to rent that villa? Where did you get so many crystal cores?"

Wang Nuo also squinted his eyes, "Yes, don't let them kick you out if you can't produce the crystal core! By the way, don't you think you won't live long anyway, so you might as well enjoy every day! Oh, there's no need to be so pessimistic. When we take over the villa, I'll let you live in the cloakroom for the sake of our past friendship."
