all a telescope's value is not
insignificant it's far too precious I
cannot accept it she insisted chandong
unfazed chuckled why are we being so
polite it's merely a telescope tion seu
observing chin Dong's nonchalant
demeanor explained chendong this is a
high-end telescope worth at least
several tens of thousands and I am being
conservative chundong was taken aback
indeed poverty had limited his
imagination he had thought that even an
expensive telescope would only cost a
few thousand to learn that it was worth
tens of thousands was astonishing yet he
remained unconcerned laughing heartily
seu I don't care about its value to me
it's merely a pile of scrap metal but in
your hands it can truly shine
furthermore in this apocalyptic world
one shouldn't apply previous pricing
standards I estimate that this telescope
would be hardpressed to trade for even
10 kg of rice nowadays please don't feel
bad just accept it he urged then I shall
accept it thank you tonu replied curing
the telescope without further protest at
this point enough had been said any more
would seem overly formal as for the
blueprints for the underground bunker
chundong decided to Stow them back in
his backpack after some discussion they
both agreed that the underground bunker
might not be immediately necessary and
would be best saved for later the Flames
engulfing the wild wolf stronghold were
fueled by gasoline making them difficult
to extinguish Without fire extinguishers
as Chan dong watched the wild Wolf's
base gradually turned to char remnants
he decided not to linger any longer he
retrieved his vehicle starting it up and
calling for tion seu to get in seu our
refuge in the Villa district is quite a
distance from here if you feel tired you
can rest in the car I will wake you when
we arrive tion seu shook her head I
can't possibly sleep I've been dizzy all
day I'll keep you company while you
drive let's chat about what you've been
up to these past 2 years chundong
laughed heartily sounds good it's been 2
years since we last met we should catch
up properly buckle up and let's chat as
we drive chundong successfully brought
tion seu back the two of them exchanging
laughter and stories on their way to the
Villa District it was tion xu's first
visit to Chand Dong's Refuge The
Towering barrier walls outside did not
astonish her nor did the automated
defense system instill fear however upon
entering the Villa she was greeted by a
woman with an equally striking demeanor
her hair elegantly styled dressed
casually as she she emerged from the
house to welcome both her and chin dong
Chun dong stepped forward embracing ceni
and planting a gentle kiss on her
forehead softly inquiring did you miss
me SII smiled and replied when have I
not missed you chundong laughed heartily
while ton seu trailing behind felt
slightly awkward as she approached the
two. seu let me introduce you this is
SII our team's doctor and also my
girlfriend Anie this is tion just as
Chen dong was about to introduce tion
seu to CI she interrupted him with a
smile she extended her hand to CI saying
hello I'm tonu Chong's classmate it's a
pleasure to meet you the two women shook
hands with CI returning the smile Chong
often mentions you you are indeed quite
beautiful we should chat more about his
university Escapade sometime so I can
keep him in check absolutely I happen to
know a few of chin dongs embarrassing
stories tion seu replied and the two
women laughing linked arm and entered
the Villa together leaving Chan dong
outside in the courtyard Chan dong felt
as if he were dreaming initially when
ton seu and ceni met he sensed a moment
of tension in the air but in an instant
they were arm in-arm leaving him behind
in the courtyard Chan dong wore a
peculiar expression yet he felt a surge
of Happiness the fact that they could
bond so quickly spared him from
