288 Applying for an Identity Card

After leaving the courtyard, they went straight to the Trade Center. With so many cars parked outside the Trade Center, it was very eye-catching. They did not care about everyone's curious gazes. They got out of their cars and took out the supplies, then went directly into the Trade Center.

As Du Yue and the other two had just left not long ago, the staff here still had an impression of them. After knowing that they had gone back to get supplies to exchange for contribution points, they immediately put on standard smiles. However, when they saw the seafood that Yu Xinya brought out, their standard smiles immediately became sincere.

One catty of shelled seafood could be exchanged for 75 contribution points. Although this price was slightly cheaper than that of grain and seeds, it was still very high compared to other things. Yu Xinya took out 40 catties worth of food and exchanged them for 3,000 contribution points. Although the rent was paid once every six months and only required 1,500 contribution points, it was always good to have some extra money in case of emergencies.

Du Yue and He Xing did not have any seafood to trade, so they could only trade seeds. They brought out the seeds for corn, sweet potato, and potato, which added up to a total of 20 catties and were exchanged for 2,000 contribution points. They did not bring out many things, and they were all the most common foods, so no one would suspect anything. Please show your identity card, the staff member said with a smile.

When Du Yue and the others heard this, they were all dumbfounded. He Xing was the first to react. He smiled honestly. We just came to the base today, and we didn't have time to apply for an ID card.

The staff member did not have much reaction when they heard it. They just smiled and said, I see. That's okay. You can do it here.

This time, it was Du Yue's turn to be surprised. We can get an identity card here?

We usually don't do this, but you've exchanged so many resources and there's no place for you to deposit your contribution points. It's fine to make an exception this time.

Then what do we need to hand over to apply for an identity card? Or do you have any other requests?

There's an administration fee of one contribution point per person. There's no other requirement.

Du Yue nodded slightly. Thank you. I'll have to trouble you, then.

The staff member waved their hand in embarrassment. You're welcome. It's just four identity cards. It's no trouble at all.

Du Yue's smile became even sweeter and more moving. No, it's 274.

Huh? The staff member was so shocked that they stood up from their seat and looked at Du Yue. More than 270? Do you have that many people with you?

Du Yue nodded. Yes, everyone's waiting outside!

The staff member was completely dumbfounded, but they could not go back on their word since they had already offered to help them get their ID cards.

Yu Xinya also said, We were worried that we would be bullied when we first came here. I didn't expect the staff of the third base to be so kind. Not only did you not make things difficult for us, but you're also willing to help us. However, we can't trouble you for nothing. This bag of calamari can be your snack!

Yu Xinya said as she handed over the squid in her hand. A bag of squid was about half a catty. Although it did not look like much, it was harder than ascending to heaven for a commoner to eat seafood at this time. Even the most common calamari was something that many people could not get their hands on.

The staff had a commission when it came to applying for identity cards for people. Now that they could get such an attractive bag of squid, they would not refuse since they had nothing to do anyway. In the end, the staff member still nodded. Du Yue and the other three were the first to go through the process. The process of getting an identity card was the same in every base. They would get their identity card very quickly after taking a photo and recording their fingerprints.

On the side, Yu Xinya's and Wan Dapeng's identity cards were also completed. Wan Dapeng went out to greet the crowd and let the children line up to come in and prepare for the procedures. After the children were all settled, it was the elderly's turn, and finally the young and strong. The 274 identity cards that Du Yue mentioned included both hers and He Xing's. Excluding the two of them, Yu Xinya still had to pay 272 contribution points for the administration fees. Yu Xinya had a total of 3,000 contribution points. After paying, she was left with 2,728 contribution points. She had enough for the rent and some extra as a backup.
