Inside Building 73.

Wayne Abbott stared at the bracer in his hand, a little puzzled.

The bracer was hard, and it felt strange in his grasp.

"Try to Control it with your Superpower."

Nina Jacobs said from the side.

After hearing this, Wayne Abbott discovered he could indeed Control the bracer with his Earth Element Superpower.

"It’s a special material I found a while ago. It’s very hard, and you can wear it when you go out to be controlled by your Earth Element Superpower."

Nina Jacobs explained.

She had reaped a considerable harvest at the abandoned factory. Killing Icarus Golding and his people had earned her several more weapons from the System.

Among them were two small bags of Diamond Sand.

She had used her Earth Element Superpower to solidify the two bags of Diamond Sand into two bracers, giving one each to Wayne Abbott and Kyle Keaton.

Kyle Keaton’s Friendship with her had already risen from 2 to 30.

After she gave him the bracer, Nina Jacobs noticed Kyle Keaton’s Friendship instantly shot up to 50.

"Thank you, Captain..."

Kyle Keaton seemed not to have expected to get one himself. He held the bracer in both hands, unconcealed astonishment in his eyes.

"I might be going on a long trip soon. I just hope you all don’t slack off on your training."

The reason Nina Jacobs said this was because she was planning a trip to Keldorn.

There were still over five months until the cold snap, which should be enough time for her to make the journey.

Her goal was the supplies in Keldorn.

"A long trip? Captain, where are you going?"

Alaric Fletcher quickly asked.

"I’m taking Trevor and his people back to their homeland."

Nina Jacobs replied.

"The Bishop Clan members from next door?"

It dawned on everyone. They had heard that Trevor even considered Nina Jacobs his teacher, so it was no wonder she wanted to help them.

"Don’t worry, Captain. We’ll be sure to practice diligently every day."

Alaric Fletcher said.

"And you don’t have to worry about security. I’ll make sure to always have people on guard."

Wayne Abbott added.

Nina Jacobs had already equipped all three buildings with pagers, so if any danger arose, they could rush over immediately.

"Mm, Yvonne will stay at the base. If you need supplies, you can go to her."

Nina Jacobs said.

The last Superpower User tournament had earned everyone on the team a significant amount of points.

Furthermore, after she took most of the supplies from Icarus Golding’s stash, she had Yvonne Willow put the rest into her space.

"Captain, when are you planning to leave?"

Elara Dolan felt a little worried.

Nina Jacobs was about the same age as her. Was she really going to such a distant place?

"In a few days. The base is also sending an escort, so don’t worry."

Nina Jacobs said.

Going to the Bishop Clan’s home wasn’t her own initiative; it was a mission Justin Lawson wanted to entrust to her.

Besides, the Bishop Clan’s tribal lands were on the way to Keldorn, which was why she had agreed.

After completing the mission for the Bishop Clan, she would head straight for Keldorn.

However, she hadn’t told anyone about her plan to go to Keldorn.

Daniel Hale soon brought news: the team escorting Trevor and the others back to their tribe would depart in three days.

"This is a matter of great importance. If you need anything at all, don’t hesitate to ask."

The next morning, Myra Lawson also paid a visit to Daniel Hale’s home.

The two sat in the tea room, and Nina Jacobs poured her a steaming cup of tea.

"I heard Shirley Lucas is going too?"

Nina Jacobs asked, taking a sip of tea.

Myra Lawson nodded and pulled a list from the file she was carrying.

"This is related to the Mystic Ice Core, so it’s best not to let too many people know. These are the only ones going with you."

The list of personnel for the mission totaled only 55 people, but she had carefully selected each one.

"These are all people the base trusts."

"He’s going too?"

Nina Jacobs pointed to Adrian Shaw’s name. She’d heard from Daniel Hale that Adrian Shaw was currently managing everything in the base.

"He applied himself."

Myra Lawson said helplessly.

The Superpower User tournament had gotten everyone in the base fired up. Many Superpower Users yearned to become stronger, and Adrian Shaw was no exception.

He said it was a chance to go out and gain experience.

Nina Jacobs nodded. "I don’t have any problems on my end."

When traveling, more people wasn’t necessarily better. She thought this number was just right.

"When this mission is complete, the base will provide a corresponding reward."

Myra Lawson said.

If there was anyone she trusted most, it was Nina Jacobs.

But Nina Jacobs didn’t seek power, so the reward Myra Lawson had prepared for her this time was 100,000 Crystal Cores and a quantity of Gold.

Nina Jacobs didn’t refuse. This trip was also a chance for her to gain experience. Besides, she had noticed these past few days that Wayne Warner was probably about to advance to an Intermediate Superpower User.

The System showed that Wayne Warner’s Superpower Value had already reached 47.

Upon learning that Nina Jacobs was about to leave the base, Vera Coleman immediately left her two younger daughters entirely in the care of Merrick Stone and Lucy Lynch.

She and Walsh then started preparing food for Nina’s journey.

Especially easy-to-carry items like steamed buns and flatbreads.

"These are some dried vegetables I’ve pickled, and these dumplings and savory pies can be kept in a mini-fridge..."

Walsh had worked through the night making a lot of food. A row of portable mini-fridges on the floor was already stuffed with dumplings, buns, and savory pies.

These mini-fridges could all be powered by portable power banks, and putting them in a Space Superpower User’s space wouldn’t affect their power supply.

"Thank you for your hard work." Nina Jacobs walked over to Vera Coleman, who was still packing for her.

She said, "Mom, you don’t have to make so much. The base has prepared things too."

Myra Lawson also knew that Shirley Lucas had an infinite space, so she had her bring a lot of supplies and food for the journey.

"There are so many of you. Our family doesn’t lack supplies."

Vera Coleman said without looking up.

Nina Jacobs felt helpless but silently accepted. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

’I’m actually a little sad to leave my family...’

「Two days before her departure」

The convenience store held a two-day, 20% off promotion.

It wasn’t for any other reason than the fact that the System seemed about to upgrade.

She remembered that after upgrading to the Level Four System, the items gifted by the System included a pair of communicators that could connect with each other even from thousands of miles away.

In her past life, that pair of communicators had been collecting dust in her System inventory, unused.

If the System upgraded this time, perhaps she could use the communicators to contact Vera Coleman.

For this reason, the convenience store stayed open until evening for two consecutive days.

During this period, Tyson Hughes also came by once and deposited some more Gold.

Chester Pearson and Levi Stone also came to join the fun. They had originally thought Claire Warner wouldn’t sell them any more Blood Stopping Spray this time, but to their surprise, she generously sold them several times the usual amount.

"There are lots of discounts during the promotion. Just think of this as the special price."

Claire Warner explained.

"Good thing we came. It was worth the long wait in line."

Chester Pearson said to Levi Stone as they walked out of the convenience store.

In truth, they still had some Blood Stopping Spray left from their previous purchases, but when they saw the convenience store was having a sale, the two couldn’t resist coming again.

"Yeah, this should be enough to last our rescue team for two or three months."

Levi Stone also replied happily.

Perhaps even longer.

In addition to the experience points from the convenience store’s regular sales, Nina Jacobs also paid another visit to the planning department.

Henry Dixon gave her a warm welcome.

This time, the main supplies Claire Warner traded with him were grains, oils, rice, and flour, and even some unhulled wheat and millet.

It was said that Claire Warner had found them in a village a while ago.

However, that wasn’t a problem for the base.

"It’s not easy feeding over a hundred thousand people! If it weren’t for you, I’d really be at my wit’s end!"

Henry Dixon said sincerely.

He knew the base had once sent people to investigate this Claire Warner, but they had found absolutely no information on her.
