Chapter 126

With a boat and props, reaching Continent A is only a matter of time.

The group sailed on the sea for more than two weeks, and finally, on the twentieth day of the copy, Song Yue and his friends saw the coastline of Continent A.

Uncle Chen was so excited that he leaned on the bow of the boat with tears in his eyes.

"Twenty days, a full twenty days, and we actually saw the mainland alive!"

Before, this was a scene he had never dared to imagine, but because of the company of the Mao family and the assistance of Song Yuanzhou, he was now certain that what he saw was not an illusion!

Xiao Hei was infected by Uncle Chen's enthusiasm. His little tail was wagging behind his butt, and he kept whimpering to express his happiness.

Chi Yunying held her husband Mao Qingquan's hand, tears welling up in her eyes. When she escaped from Lime Island, she had never imagined such a day would come. Now that it had finally happened, she didn't even know how to face it.

Mao Qingquan understood his wife's feelings. He held her tightly and then his eyes fell on Song Yuanzhou at the bow of the boat.

"Without Yuanzhou, we would not be alive today." He sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Chi Yunying nodded vigorously: "Yes."

From food to medicine to the protective shield that protected them all the way, all of this was provided by Song Yuanzhou.

The villagers actually gave him such a vicious title as the Plague God. They were blind to his potential and deserved to be buried in the sea.

Mao Xingxiu also stood at the bow, side by side with Song Yue.

"Song Yuanzhou." He first looked at the town ahead, then retracted his gaze and fell on Song Yue's face. "You're not the Song Yuanzhou I know, are you?"

Song Yue glanced sideways slightly.

She was not afraid of her identity being exposed. After all, they had been together on Lime Island, Snake Island and the sea for such a long time that anyone could see that she was strange.

She just didn't expect that Mao Xingxiu would dare to ask.

"Well, as you can see, I'm not." Song Yue didn't intend to hide it and confessed when asked.

"As expected." Mao Xingxiu paused and took a deep breath. "Then who are you? Where is my friend now? Can he come back?"

Song Yue smiled: "There are quite a lot of questions~"

Mao Xingxiu licked his lips: "Sorry, I was a little impatient."

Song Yue: "I understand."

"First question, I can't explain to you who I am, but I can tell you my real name, Song Yue, the same as your friend's."

"Second, I don't know where your friend went, but I can assure you that he's safe now."

"The third one, he can come back in ten days."

Mao Xingxiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ten days? Really?!"

Song Yue arched her brows and said, "It's true. I'm Xiao Hei."

Xiao Hei, who was happily wagging his tail, looked up: "? I refuse to be cueed, thank you."

Knowing that his good friend would be back soon, Mao Xingxiu felt much better, which was in stark contrast to his silent state on the boat.

Chi Yunying and his wife just thought that their son was happy for successfully reaching his destination and didn't think much about it.

The boat docked and everyone got off.

Song Yue wanted to store the powerboat in the space, but because someone was there, it was not very convenient, so she gave Mao Xingxiu a look. The latter already knew that she was not Song Yuanzhou herself, so he cooperated.

"Mom, Dad, Uncle Chen, there's a map of the mainland over there. Let's go see where A03 is."

While drifting on the boat, Song Yue mentioned to them that they would go to A03 after getting ashore.

Upon hearing this, Chi Yunying and the other two followed Mao Xingxiu forward.

Song Yue took the opportunity to touch the power boat, and she put the boat into the space.

After looking at the map, Song Yue finally understood why this mission required her to bring Mao Xingxiu to A03.

The entire continent A is divided into 10 areas, distributed in sequence from A01 to A10.

Different areas represent different core functions. For example, A01 represents the administrative area; A02 represents the urban area; A04 is divided into the financial area... and A03, where they are going, is written as the tourism and cultural and creative area.

Mao Xingxiu's hometown, Shihui Island, is famous for its sculptures, which is just right for this kind of place.

Next to me, other taskers expressed their feelings after looking at the map.

"No wonder they asked me to take people to A05. Turns out there's a safari park there! Perfect! Those from Bear Island can go there and work as zookeepers."

The tasker looked very young and should be a novice tasker. He spoke without any reservations.

However, thanks to his muttering, Song Yue further understood the significance of sending so many taskers to this natural disaster copy.

Each island represents a culture. Without the external intervention of the taskers, these islands and the history they carry will disappear in the torrent, just like Snake Island.

Qiao Shanshan failed in her mission and was unable to save the villagers cursed by snakes. The villagers mutated into snake-men and fed on human flesh. Then the tsunami hit, and the half-human, half-snake villagers had difficulty moving, which further confirmed their doom.

One cause has produced one result, and Song Yue was very pleased that she had saved the exquisite sculpture craftsmanship of Lime Island.

The management of Continent A was well-organized, and soon they were led to A03 by a special person and assigned rooms.

"Dear guests, you can stay in this room for 30 days free of charge, including food and lodging. After 30 days, you will need to pay a certain accommodation fee. If you fail to pay on time, the room will be vacated for other guests."

The waiter spoke very tactfully, but Mao Xingxiu and the others understood what he meant. He meant that they could get it for free within 30 days. This was a benefit provided by Continental A to the islanders. After 30 days, they would have to be self-reliant and find ways to make money.

For craftsmen, making a living is not difficult.

After resting that day, the next day, Mao Xingxiu's family and Uncle Chen went out to look for jobs.

There is a market in A03, and you can own a temporary stall by paying a certain amount of money. After a few people calculated, they realized that they had no money on them, so they gave up and had to do business in a corner outside the market.

The small stones that can be found everywhere, in the hands of the Mao family, are like magic, and in the blink of an eye they are transformed into beautiful decorations, including hollow embroidery balls, lifelike Maitreya Buddhas, and cute little rabbits...

Song Yue looked at them, then looked at herself. Well, they all had hands, so why was there such a big difference?

The carved gadgets were quickly bought by someone, and the Mao family and Uncle Chen were so happy to have earned their first pot of gold.

"The rental fee for the market stall is 200 A coins per month. We earned 50 today, so we will be able to rent a stall soon!" Uncle Chen said with a smile.

Mao Xingxiu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "I feel like we can do business even without renting a stall. It seems we can still do business in this corner."

Chi Yunying waved her hand: "That's still not possible. Having a stall is more formal and customers are more willing to patronize it."

"Yes, Aunt Mao is right." Song Yue took over. "The stall is not only convenient for customers, but also a form of protection for the stall owner. We were lucky today and met a customer who didn't mind. But if we meet someone who deliberately pesters us tomorrow and slanders our products as having quality problems, how will we explain ourselves when we have nothing to say?"

"If you have a stall, the situation is different. The stall is under the management of the market, and if something goes wrong, the market manager will come forward, so the stall owner does not need to bear too much risk."

And it only costs 200 coins to avoid the risk, which is a very cost-effective deal.

Mao Xingxiu suddenly realized something, and from then on he worked even harder to carve small things, hoping to allow his parents to rent a stall as soon as possible.

On the twenty-fifth day of the copy, the Mao family and Uncle Chen finally had their own stall. They put the contract signed with the market manager in their pocket and displayed the small gadgets they had carved overnight.

Suddenly, they heard a female voice.

"Yunying? Brother Chen?!"

Chi Yunying and Uncle Chen's stalls were next to each other. They both raised their eyes when they heard the voice, and then were stunned.

"Jiang Xue!!! It's you!"

"Grandma Agen?! Why are you here?!"

People are strangers in a foreign land. Even if their hometown is not as prosperous as Continent A, they may see acquaintances in a foreign land, and only they know the joy in their hearts.

Jiang Xue supported Grandma Agen. "We were lucky. We were rescued by another ship and brought all the way to the mainland. I heard that sculptures can be sold here. I thought that this is what the villagers of our Lime Island are best at, so I said I would come and take a look. I didn't expect to see you..."

She choked up a little, then grinned awkwardly: "Look at me, I'm crying after just a few words, what a loser."

Everyone knew that Jiang Xue's husband had died, and since everyone had the same experience of fleeing at sea, they could empathize with each other even more.

Chi Yunying wiped her hands, came out quickly, and shook Jiang Xue's hand: "Sister Xue, don't say such things. You are young and beautiful, and you are a good cook. You will definitely be able to build a career here."

"By the way, how is Grandma Agen? You must be exhausted from the journey. Come in and sit down with us."

Grandma Agen waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm in good health and won't die for the time being."

Uncle Chen quickly tried to smooth things over: "Oh, Grandma Agen, look at what you're saying. I see you're in good health and will definitely live a long life!"

On the vast Lime Island, with a village of thousands, only a handful of them survived. As they chatted and shared their stories, their eyes were filled with emotion and gratitude.

On the last day of the copy, the Mao family's business gradually improved, and the small stones carved by Uncle Chen next door were also sought after by local people.

Jiang Xue's sculpture skills are average, but she is very good at making breakfasts such as flower rolls and steamed buns. Therefore, she rented a very small shop to sell breakfast. Business is doing well for now and she can get by.

As for Grandma Agen, she lives with Jiang Xue.

She couldn't sit idle at home and didn't want to eat and drink for free, so she took the initiative to clean Jiang Xue's shop every day, keeping the small shop clean and tidy.

At this time, Song Yue didn't know that one day in the future, the Mao family's craftsmanship would become the most sought-after thing in Area A03.

Mao Xingxiu successfully inherited his parents' sculpture skills. While still in college, he successfully held a personal sculpture exhibition and became famous.

But that was all in the future. At 12 o'clock that evening, Song Yue welcomed the end of the dungeon.

[Congratulations to the host, you have completed the required task 1]

[A-level dungeon cleared, lifespan calculation in progress...]

[A total of 130 life points are obtained in this instance (30 points are obtained from temporary tasks)]

[The next instance will open at dawn on January 1, 2041. Please prepare in advance.]

[Leaving the current instance...]

After she left, Song Yuanzhou returned to his body.

The next morning, when Mao Xingxiu came and knocked on the door, he was stunned when he saw him open the door, and then he remembered that today was the tenth day that Song Yue mentioned.

He didn't even have time to thank me properly.

I don’t know if she can still hear me now, Mao Xingxiu thought silently, and said “thank you” in his heart.

Then he raised a smiling face and punched Song Yuanzhou on the shoulder: "Hey, you're up? Look at how messy you are sleeping. Hurry up and tidy up. You're scaring the little girl away~"
