Gu Xi ignored the octopus's request and instead blamed it, saying, "That's why I said, wouldn't it be better to raise a few more octopuses to be your underlings? If you have underlings, you can let them do these jobs."

But these words touched a nerve with the octopus, which kept squeaking. It was determined to do it itself and didn't want Gu Xi to raise more octopuses.

Gu Xi was also a little confused. The octopus clearly didn't mind her keeping other sea creatures, so why was it so averse to keeping its own kind?

She stared at the octopus for a while, then decided to put the problem aside for the time being and went to feed the fish.

Gu Xi changed her afternoon nap time into meditation training time. When she woke up in the afternoon and went to the third-floor pavilion, she found that the weather had changed again.

The weather remained sunny, but the temperature had dropped to 5°C, accompanied by a biting wind that stung my cheeks.

She has heat-resistant medicine, but no frostbite medicine. Now that the cold has arrived, she still needs to make some preparations.

Gu Xi opened the regional chat channel. At times like this, there would definitely be many related items being sold in the chat channel.

District 2333, Regional Chat Group (99441/100000):

"It's getting cold, the water's freezing, you should buy some gear. Search ID: 56278, there's bound to be something you need."

"Padded clothes, thick quilts, and a brazier~"

"If you want good warmth, you need to buy a thick coat. This exclusive fur coat is worth having."

...

"Why are they all selling clothes? They want to keep their bodies warm, but don't their cheeks, ears, and hands need to be kept warm too?!"

"Sister upstairs, you're right! I was just about to ask that too."

"You women are so fussy! Even at a time like this, you still have so many rules!"

"My upstairs neighbor must be a guy. Although I'm a guy too, I think what he said makes sense. I even think that socks, scarves, and so on should be prepared."

"Everyone knows it, but nobody's selling it!"

"The wind and cold have made my face chapped. I didn't have the means to expose myself to the sun and rain before, but now that I have money, why doesn't anyone sell me any skincare products? My face hurts so much."

"I made my own hand warmers, feel free to take them if you need them."

"They've even made hand warmers! Great, I'll buy one!"

"I want one too!"

Gu Xi was overwhelmed by the variety of items, but what she really wanted was the skincare products that the girl upstairs had mentioned. After all, in this windy weather, it was easy to get injured without some protection. Losing health over something so trivial would be a real hassle.

Sure enough, as the crowd grew, people soon came out to sell their wares.

"Various skincare products and perfumes are now available."

"No way, what's wrong with you guys? You're already here, and you're still thinking about skincare and perfume?!"

Gu Xi was also curious, so she clicked on the seller's trading post and found that all the products this person made were effective.

For example, water-gel creams can protect users from dehydration when they enter extremely hot environments, and some perfumes also have effects such as inducing sleep and seduction.

Just by looking at her stall, it's clear that this person has unlocked the relevant profession.

After browsing for a while, Gu Xi finally spent 10 silver coins to buy 5 boxes of frostbite cream. As long as the frostbite cream is applied, it can protect the skin even in the coldest wind.

When she switched back to the chat channel, an argument broke out. (This chapter is now complete. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
