<b>When </b>people from other camps first saw the fresh pork for sale at the Alliance System Store, they were thrilled. Yet the residents of zing Sun Camp were already tired of it. They were switching things up with vegetables for variety.
While everyone else worked hard to earn more alliance points to exchange for supplies, the residents of <b>zing </b>Sun Camp each had over 10,000 points on average.
Beyond that, the camp enjoyed countless invisible benefits.
For ordinary camps, shopping could only be done at Alliance System Stores, where many items were limited in quantity.
However, zing Sun Camp residents had ess to those stores, and they also had their camp–exclusive supermarket.
The quality there was better, the prices were lower, and the variety was wider.
It wasn’t because they’re using some special privilege. It was simply because their camp <b>was </b>that wealthy.
With abundant resources, they could afford to sell top–quality goods at discounted prices to their own people.
Among the 57 other camps of the zing Sun Alliance, there wasn’t a single one that didn’t envy them.
Upon hearing about the huge benefits of the Thanksgiving Festival distributed by zing Sun Camp today, everyone <b>was </b><b>even </b>more envious.
Everyone wished they could be residents of zing Sun Camp and wanted to follow Theresa.
Just then, a group of people clocked out from the research institute.
Hugo and his colleagues emerged from the building, each carryingrge bags of the Thanksgiving Festival gifts, their faces brimming with joy.
“Professor Wagner, my family bought meat a few days ago, and now the leader sent even more pork. I can’t finish it all. Here, take some home!”
“If you can’t finish it, I definitely also cannot, Hugo chuckled. There are only tw think of ways to cook all this meat before it goes to waste.”
s at home. I need to
Their cheerful conversation drifted to the ears of others nearby, making them ache with jealousy. People could hardly resist the urge to step forward and help them with their so–called problem of having too
much to cat
Jealousy was written all over their faces. Passersby openly stared, watching Hugo and his group leave with their heavy bags
Among the crowd, a middle–aged <b>woman </b>lowered her head and tried to slip away quietly.
Herpanion caught her arm. “Mrs. Klein, wasn’t your husband working with Professor Wagner before? He and the others all joined the zing Sun Camp. Why didn’t you <b>join</b><b>?</b>”

The woman shushed her quickly. “Keep your voice down!”
Hugo and his group heard themotion and turned to see a ragged, dust–covered woman in the crowd Their eyes met, and the woman fled in shame.
“Professor Wagner, isn’t that Mrs. Klein?”
“I think <b>so</b>.”
“She looks like she’s having a hard time.”
“Even if she’s in the zing Sun Alliance now, her life can’tpare to ours.
“Don’t pity her. Did you forget how she mocked us when we decided to leave? She thought she was so clever, convincing her husband to break ties with us. Now look–outsmarted herself! She must regret it.”
“She’s regretted it for a long time. My son still keeps in touch with her daughter. Their whole family sighs andins every day. Honestly, if we hadn’t followed Theresa back then, we’d be just like her.
Hugo shook his head as he watched the woman run away. “A woman without fortune.<b>” </b>
Back then, when Theresa came to KI Camp to recruit Hugo and his team, Josiah’s wife refused to follow. She even mocked them, predicting they would suffer.
Now, life for Hugo and his group was thriving under Theresa’s leadership, and the gap between them and the Klein family only grew wider.
Even after joining the zing Sun Alliance, the Klein family’s life improved a little.
But one nce at Hugo was enough to make them feel the sting ofparison.
He enjoyed endless benefits, such as exclusive stores, special welfare, and the camp leader was the alliance leader.
Regret burned in their hearts.
How could they <b>have </b>been so short–sighted, failing to recognize a súpetive figure like Theresa when they had the <b>chance</b>?
If they had followed her, they too could be living like Hugo now.
When Hugo returned home with the gifts, he told his wife about the encounter with Josiah’s wife.
After a brief sigh, both of them were ovee with gratitude. Following Theresa was the greatest fortune of our lives.”
“We must keep working hard for her, his wife agreed.
“Yes. Ourb’s new research should be delivered to Theresa as soon as it’s ready.
