What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

"They add more vegetables, rice and noodles to their daily meals, which is great. My neighbor's child eats vegetables and fruits every day, and I feel like she has gained a few pounds at the base."

"But we have them every day. Now that the planting technology has improved, the team leader and others have added these vegetables and fruits to our daily supplies. Basically, as long as we work hard, we can eat our fill."

They still have a lot of hope for life. When they looked at the group of people from Xiyue, who all looked shocked and incredulous, they immediately straightened their backs, raised their heads and puffed out their chests, feeling proud of their base.

"What if there aren't enough supplies to eat every day? After all, people with superpowers have huge appetites," the people from Xiyue asked persistently.

The two young men, seeing their exaggerated reaction, didn't even get angry.

"It's true that people with superpowers have a high food requirement. These basic supplies can keep us alive, but it's not difficult to live well. There's a huge mission board in the center of our base. Just go there to accept missions."

"As I said before, we can usually finish our daily tasks in one or two hours a day, so everyone will use their spare time to accept tasks from the task list."

Fearing their limited imaginations wouldn't be able to grasp the wonders of their base, the two young men enthusiastically took them to the mission board.

"We've just finished our work for today, and we're going to check out the task list to find something to do. You can come with us and take a look."

Xavier and the others, who were really curious about how the Nanling Base operated, gritted their teeth and followed the two young men to broaden their horizons. Chen Mingzhang followed behind them with a smile, saying, "Look, look, only after you've seen it can we attract more people to come."

Indeed, after discussing it, Chen Mingzhang and Lu Yize felt that the base was still short of personnel. Now that the base is expanding, talent is needed in various places.

There are too few people in the base now; they need to attract more people with superpowers to build their base.

As long as they can attract more people, Chen Mingzhang and his team are confident that they can make these people stay wholeheartedly in Nanling.

The two young men proudly led the Xiyue group to the bulletin board. The Xiyue group stared at the enormous screen, conjured with their supernatural abilities, wondering what it had to do with the three somewhat clichéd words of a bulletin board!

Is your Nanling base really this down-to-earth? This screen created from advanced supernatural abilities is called a bulletin board? Don't you think that's outrageous?!

The people at the Nanling Base were already used to this and didn't think much of it. The young man with the earth element aimed his power ring at a spot in front of the bulletin board and emitted a beeping sound.

After the device in front of the notice board recognized the user, a scanning green light appeared on the screen: [Second-tier Earth-type Ability User, eligible for D-rank and F-rank missions. Suitable mission recommendations are now being provided.]

Immediately afterwards, dozens of tasks appeared on the bulletin board. Xavier glanced at them and found that none of them were very difficult tasks; they were indeed tasks that a second-tier ability user could complete.

Renn was more interested than the others. He glanced at the reward for completing the task on the task bar. It was just a simple building task, and he could get fifty universal coins!

The treated water and electricity can last for a month with just one universal coin! Rein's ability level is fourth tier, so the reward after completing the mission will likely be even higher.

He pointed to the device that had just scanned the ability ring and asked, "Does it work by pointing the ability ring at it?"

The two young men laughed upon hearing this. "How could that be? The reason our scans are working is because we have identification cards inside our ability rings. The base leader installed them for us."

“We also need to be identified when we go out to enter the base, and we basically use this in our daily lives. Our points and universal currency can be stored in digital form, and we can also scan to pay when we pay in the base's mall.”

"It's similar to digital currency before the apocalypse, but it seems that fewer people in Xiyue use this payment method. We've been used to it for a long time, and it's very convenient. Plus, we don't have to worry about losing it."

The people from Xiyue were a little envious, but they still stubbornly nitpicked, "If someone else wears your ability ring, wouldn't that mean that person could sneak in? That doesn't seem good either."

Upon hearing this, the two young men looked proud. "Our ability rings can only be used by ourselves. We basically never take them off because if someone else accidentally puts one on and we discover the misidentification, the ability ring will self-destruct."

"Therefore, Captain Chen and the others repeatedly emphasized to us that we must never remove the power ring except in special circumstances, and we must never let children wear it, in order to avoid accidents."

The people of Xiyue fell silent after hearing these words; they were also eager to take on the mission!

There are more than a dozen recognition devices like this taskbar, and the taskbar is also divided into dedicated areas to prevent multiple people from crowding together to use it.

Renn happened to see Lei Yangyu come to accept the mission. They were all lightning-type ability users, and all of them were fourth-level lightning-type ability users.

Raine glanced at his quest log with curiosity and found that there were more quests available than for the previous Earth-type Tier 2 ability user, and the rewards were, needless to say, much richer.

Looking at the specific requirements of the mission, they are very simple: hunt low-level alien beasts around the base, fertilize the land, and provide lightning-type abilities to the base. These tasks are very easy!

The amount of universal currency he could earn was quite substantial, which made Ryan's eyes widen. If he came to this base, he estimated he could support his entire family. No, not just himself, but his family members could also do some simple tasks.

He saw a child standing on tiptoe to complete a special ability ring and then accept a low-level task. Although it was just a task like weeding and catching bugs, he could still get a point if he completed it. Ten points could be exchanged for a universal coin.

If they save up, they can solve their family's water problem for a month! No wonder Chen Mingzhang said that as long as you work hard at the base, supporting yourself won't be a problem.

Even children seem capable of supporting themselves with a little effort, not to mention the subsidies they receive, although he suspects those subsidies might be stolen.

When Raine saw the child, who looked to be only eight or nine years old, immediately start working after receiving the task, he felt a pang of pity and asked the two young men beside him, "This child is so young, won't the supplies he receives be stolen?"

Although he was reluctant to admit it, bullying did exist in Xiyue. He felt that in a post-apocalyptic world that tested humanity, it was hard not to see such situations.

"No, everyone has a dedicated team leader. If something like this happens, you can just report it. Besides, the team leaders are always around the base, so it's easy for them to complain."
