Chapter 189 -189 Settling Friends
The manager of the Exchange Center took a form from the secretary and began to write some documents, head bowed.
After filling out the forms, he handed them to Gu Pan, “This one is for exchanging contribution points. With so many points, it’s safer to keep them in the bank. The other is an introduction letter for the villa. Take it to the Housing Exchange Center, and let someone take you to choose a villa.”
Gu Pan, holding the two forms, was excited inside but kept a calm exterior, “Thank you. Everyone has worked hard today. We will definitely do our best to contribute more to the base in the future.”
Lu Ruisheng scratched his head; this girl was truly addicted to talking.
However, the others still courteously exchanged pleasantries with her, praising them for a while. When the lights were turned out and the rechargeable lights were on, Li Shukang started to arrange for the meeting to be dismissed.
After the meeting was dispersed, everyone said their goodbyes, leaving only Gu Pan, Lu Ruisheng, Li Shukang, and Qin Jun.
Li Shukang said to them, “It’s too late today. Another day, I’ll prepare well, and you all come to my house for dinner.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng didn’t object and accepted the invitation directly.
Qin Jun did the same, since choosing a team, they would share honor and disgrace together.
Going to someone’s house for dinner was also a statement, so they would just listen to Li Shukang’s arrangement.
Of course, they did not know the thoughts of Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng. These two just wanted to find a support for now. Once they reunited with their friends, it was uncertain whether they would stay here; they heard that First Base was better, and they were still looking forward to it.
But for now, they certainly kept a low profile and just enjoyed eating and drinking.
After saying goodbye, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng rushed home; there were people waiting for them. This reunion after a life-and-death separation meant they had so much to talk about.
Upon arriving home, Lu Ruisheng opened the door.
Cheng Yang came to the door, “How did the talks go?” They at home were quite concerned about this matter, afraid that Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng would be exploited.
Gu Pan responded, “It went well, don’t worry. Have you guys eaten?”
Lu Xuerong came out, “We made porridge and just finished. We’ve saved some for you.”
Just as Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were about to enter the house, Chen Fengzhou and Yang Jia came out.
Yang Jia looked at Gu Pan with great happiness, “You guys are finally back. Everything went smoothly, right?”
Gu Pan nodded, “Smoothly. Don’t worry.” As she spoke, she took out two packets of biscuits from her pocket and handed them to Yang Jia, “We’ll tell you more about it tomorrow.”
Yang Jia took the biscuits, “Got some more delicious treats.”
Gu Pan looked at her with a smile, “Yeah, there should always be some gains when going out, right?”
At that moment, Chen Fengzhou came out and said to Gu Pan, “Sister, if your house can’t accommodate so many people, you could stay with us.”
Before Gu Pan could reply, Lu Xuerong said with awkwardness, “Thank you, young man. But we haven’t taken a bath for too long on our journey, so we’ll just make do on the floor tonight.”
Chen Fengzhou said, “No problem, we’re not that clean ourselves.”
Gu Pan thought it was better to stay at her own home; they had various folding and inflatable beds available for use, and they had a lot of things to talk about tonight.
So she said to Chen Fengzhou, “We might not sleep tonight, too much to talk about. Once we settle in, we’ll make some good food, and you and Yang Jia can come over to eat together.”
Chen Fengzhou didn’t insist, as indeed they had been separated for so long and must have a lot to discuss, “Okay, we’ll head back. You guys have a good catch up. Call us if you need anything.”
Gu Pan agreed, waved to them, and followed Lu Ruisheng inside.
After closing the door, they suddenly didn’t know what to say and started laughing after looking at each other.

The home’s rechargeable lights were on, emitting a warm, soft glow, comforting everyone.
Gu Pan spoke first, “We have inflatable beds at home, and the sofa opens into a double bed, enough to sleep on. We have clothes and everything too, I’ll go find them for you.”
Feng Zhekai and the others didn’t refuse; they had no money, no supplies, nothing. Even intending to buy the next day wasn’t realistic; it was better to just listen to her.
Gu Pan went back to the bedroom, started taking things out of the “Space”: inflatable beds, sports outfits, and the like.
Meanwhile, Lu Ruisheng took them to the living room, opened the cabinets to show what food and supplies they had, telling them to take whatever they needed.
When Gu Pan came out with the clothes, Cheng Yang scratched his head, “Maybe we should just make do on the floor tonight and change after we’ve had a bath tomorrow.”
Feng Zhekai also said, “Yeah, we’re too dirty, putting on anything will make it dirty. We’ll manage for the night, wash up and change clothes tomorrow.”
Gu Pan smiled, “We have money. Today we exchanged quite a few contribution points; if clothes get dirty, we can buy more. Otherwise, you guys have way too little, you need to buy anyway.”
Hearing about contribution points, Feng Zhekai and the others were puzzled.
Lu Ruisheng hurriedly explained, “The base doesn’t use money, but contribution points, which serve as the currency here. Houses aren’t purchased either, they’re rented. Work earns contribution points, about one to three points per person per day. Today, the solar panels we brought back have almost made us the wealthiest in the base.”
The three looked on in astonishment, their eyes wide with surprise.
Gu Pan said, “And they’ve even given us a villa to live in for free forever. Tomorrow we can go pick one. We’ve paid three months’ rent for this house; you continue to live here. We’re not very familiar with the villa yet, I hear there’s some review process or the like. Once we figure it out, if possible, you can move into the villa as well.”
For her friends, Gu Pan was not stingy, and the base had so many empty villas, it wasn’t a waste for them to live in one.
Moreover, she didn’t fully trust the contribution points; hoarding them for later might not be valuable. Just as she suspected, if someday another major disaster occurred and the base wasn’t safe, they might have to move, by which time the contribution points might become worthless. It was better for everyone to spend them now, since they had supplies and nothing to worry about.
Not to mention, 30,000 contribution points were just from one supply exchange; getting contribution points in the future wouldn’t be difficult. Not to say anything of the more than ten wild boars they still had in the “Space.”
Feng Zhekai quickly waved his hands, “It’s good enough that we can come in. We are very satisfied to live in such a place. We’re happy if you develop well, but don’t bring us into everything. It’s better if we don’t become a burden to you.”
Gu Pan liked the people in her team precisely because everyone had a clear understanding and appreciated it.
She said, “We’ll take it slow. Anyway, we’ll pick out a villa tomorrow, and then this house will be yours, just pay the rent when it’s due.”
While speaking, she took out three Contribution Cards worth 300 points each, placing them on the table, “Keep these on you, to buy things during the day.”
She didn’t give out too much at once; a hundred points each was enough for now. Too much would be a psychological burden on them.
