Chapter 244 Regional Differences

There were people from other provinces arriving, even the mayor of Lidong City came.

The mayor of Lidong City is a girl named Ding Jiayi. Perhaps due to the geographical climate here, she has a healthy wheat-colored skin and wears a neat ponytail. The temperature here is higher than that in Long Province, so the people here dress very coolly.

When Ding Jiayi saw Lu Jiu, she was first amazed at her fair skin. "Oh my god, Xiaoyi, you are so fair. Actually, I used to be very fair too."

At this time, Lu Jiu used the image of Mi Qingyi.

As she spoke, Ding Jiayi still held her hand. Comparing the two sides, the color difference was a bit big. Lu Jiu looked at Shen Jufeng behind her at a loss, but Shen Jufeng looked contented and nodded slightly to her, indicating that it was okay.

It was the first time that Lu Jiu met such an enthusiastic stranger. Fortunately, the other party was a girl.

"It's quite hot here. It might be because of the temperature. You just need to take some rest in the future."

Ding Jiayi said with a bitter face, "You don't understand. We used to be quite fair, but it just became like this naturally over time. Even if we avoid the sun, we'll get darker."

Lu Jiu: "No, yours is not black, it's a healthy wheat color."

And it looks healthy and beautiful.

They were all in a restaurant in Chengbang at the moment. After Ding Jiayi finished complaining about the climate here, she began to ask about the situation in Long Province. "We are surrounded by the sea here. Seeing that you are all so white, the environment must be different from ours."

Lu Jiu nodded. "Our area is all inland, like a primeval forest, and the trees are very tall, about a hundred meters."

Someone nearby asked curiously, "So you guys just kill monsters in the forest?"

This time it was Shen Jufeng who answered the question, "Yes, wild monsters will spawn randomly in the wild."

Ding Jiayi sighed again, "It's much better than us. We still have to go to the sea."

Lu Jiu's eyes widened when he heard this, "Going into the sea?!"

As he said this, he curiously looked to see if there was anything behind Ding Jiayi's ear, but it turned out to be smooth.

Ding Jiayi knew what she was curious about. "We don't have gills. We rely on a prop to move freely in the sea."

After saying that, he took out the prop, which was a light blue pearl, with flashes of light appearing on the surface from time to time.

[Water-melting pearl: This is a magical item that allows you to breathe and move freely in water.]

Lu Jiu: “We haven’t seen this yet.”

Ding Jiayi: "Of course. This was sold in the mall for a limited time after the world changed. After reading the instructions, we realized that we have to go to the sea to find wild monsters. It will be easier during the beast tide, because the wild monsters will come ashore from the sea on their own."

Then came a look of disgust.

It was the people next to him who were complaining about this, "Oh, forget it, those wild monsters all came ashore with strange legs, that scene, wow."

All of them felt their scalps tingling when they saw that scene.

Lu Jiu could imagine what the scene was like.

Ding Jiayi placed the blue pearl in her hand on Lu Jiu's hand and said, "This is for you. From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were very compatible."

Lu Jiu was stunned and immediately returned the pearl to her, "How can this be possible? You still need this to go into the sea and kill wild monsters."

Ding Jiayi didn't answer. "Don't worry, although this was initially sold for a limited time, it will become a basic reward for killing wild monsters."

Hearing this, Lu Jiucai did not refuse, "Then I'll accept it." She was still curious about what it would feel like to use this to enter the sea.

However, since the other party gave him a gift, Lu Jiu must return the favor. "Well...we don't have such special props over there, so I really don't know what to give you."

Ding Jiayi: "No need to do that, this is not a rare thing for us."

Lu Jiu scratched his hair and took out dozens of bottles of cold milk tea from his backpack. "This is the milk tea I prepared for this trip. If you don't mind, you can drink it."

Ding Jiayi's eyes lit up as she took a bottle of milk tea. She could still feel the coolness of the milk tea in her hands. "I haven't had milk tea in a long time. No one here can make this."

Others followed suit, and even the men didn't mind the sweet taste of the milk tea. They all drank it with straws and enjoyed it.

Lu Jiu glanced at Shen Jufeng, and the meaning expressed in his eyes was probably that there was not even this here, and this was still a third-level city-state.

Shen Jufeng was very calm. This situation was probably due to the environment. "It seems that you don't have any farmland here. Do you rely on killing monsters to eat?"

Ding Jiayi quickly chewed the pearls in her milk tea and swallowed them. "Farmland? We have the most beaches here, and the most common plants are coconut trees. But we can collect dried shrimps in the sea."

Lu Jiu: "Dried shrimp?" She only knew about rice.

Ding Jiayi nodded and began to gesture with her hands. "When we enter the sea, there are shallow and deep sea areas. The sea fans are all in the shallow sea areas, where no wild monsters will appear, while we professional residents will kill wild monsters in the deep sea areas."

Shen Jufeng understood, "We have fields over there. Ordinary residents can gather food and vegetables in the fields. The forests covered with giant trees are where we kill wild monsters. Wild monsters will not appear near the fields unless it is during the beast tide."

Ding Jiayi expressed her envy, "So you guys collect rice, wheat, and the like?"

Lu Jiu nodded, "Yes, in summer and autumn there is more rice, and in spring and autumn there is more wheat."

There were cries of grief in the restaurant. "Oh my god, I haven't eaten rice in a long time. I miss it so much."

"My mouth is watering."

"Fuck! Don't disgust me."

Lu Jiu felt strange, "Don't you have dried shrimps here? Isn't that also rice?"

Ding Jiayi waved her hands weakly, "There's no point in saying more. I guess you guys haven't eaten yet, so I'll treat you today."

She then ran to the restaurant front desk to order food, while the others began to ask them other things out of curiosity.

"Did you bring rice or anything this time?"

This question made Lu Jiu stunned for a moment, "I brought some, but not much."

After all, she can mobilize her own warehouse at any time, so there is no need to put all the food in her personal backpack. As long as she wants, she can get food from the warehouse at any time.

The person who asked her was very understanding, "That's right, you don't know it's like this here."

Instead, Shen Jufeng suddenly said, "But we brought a lot of meat, because these are usually rewards for killing wild monsters. As for food, we usually buy it from ordinary residents."

Now everyone was excited, "Meat? What kind of meat?"

They are on an island, and the most common meat they eat is seafood. They think it is delicious at first, but they get sick of it after eating too much. In addition, many people here are not originally from coastal cities, and their most accustomed diet is rice and pork.

Shen Jufeng directly took out the meat of wild boar and small fragrant pig, and then took out a few more items, all of which were chicken, mutton and the like. The smallest amount was the beef of the blue cattle.

Some people are already drooling at the sight of the meat of land creatures they haven't seen for a long time.

"Selling it, brother?"

Lu Jiu: “???” Why does it sound weird?

Shen Jufeng nodded, "Of course I sell it, and some of it is just for you. I wonder if the NPCs here can cook this kind of meat."

"Brother, this is nothing. I can do it."

The man who spoke was a big man with strong muscles. He didn't look like someone who could cook, but he seemed like he could lift dozens of kilograms of iron in an instant.

As long as I am poor enough, Double Eleven will not affect me
