"They're besieging us every day, it's so annoying!"

"If, and I mean if, the sharks attack once a day, and in small numbers, it's better than a sudden, massive swarm of sharks!"

"If the above statement is invalid."

"Have you noticed that the brightness of shark beads attracts sharks?"

"Oh? So I'm not the only one who feels this way!"

"I have one too!"

"Me too. Originally, the shark attacks weren't this frequent at night, but after using the shark beads to light up, the sharks came even more often."

"Yes, mine too, but thankfully there aren't many."

"But the frequency is too high. Do you even let people get any rest?"

"No, you guys still want to rest! I haven't slept for three days straight. Every time I try to doze off, I worry about a shark attack, so I can't sleep at all."

"Anyway, two-thirds of my boat has already been eaten by sharks, so what am I afraid of! Come on, the boat has shrunk, and the number of sharks has decreased!"

"Hey, you're so arrogant upstairs! Even sharks look down on you!"

"The boxes aren't easy to retrieve, but at least the sharks can give us some loot."

...

Several days have passed since the shark attack disaster, and those who survived have all developed their own methods to varying degrees.

So while there were some complaints in the chat channel, the atmosphere was also relaxed.

However, the news that the shark pearl would attract sharks made Gu Xi unconsciously glance at the shark pearl on the wall.

She hadn't expected this thing to attract hatred. And if you added the Crimson Gaze, wouldn't that just double the hatred?

No wonder the shark swarms were attacked so frequently and in such large numbers.

Does she not get to sleep at night anymore?

No, no, this won't do. How can I cultivate my mental strength if I don't get a good night's sleep?

Gu Xi walked towards the bedroom while thinking about it.

She lay down naturally, pulled the blanket up, closed her eyes, and the outside world became irrelevant to me.

[Ding-dong]

Gu Xi opened her eyes; she had only been lying there for five seconds!

She opened her friend's profile and found it was Li Ruoyang.

Oh, right! She and Li Ruoyang agreed to meet at 10 p.m., and it's only a little past 8 p.m. now.

Luckily, she sent the message in time; otherwise, if I had fallen asleep, I wouldn't have known anything.

Li Ruoyang: Sister Xi, the novel manuscript is finished.

Included with the package is a manuscript.

Gu Xi took it out; it was covered with densely packed words.

She counted them; there were five in total, and they were indeed short stories.

Seeing a novel instantly lifted her spirits. Entertainment truly could soothe her wounded heart!

Gu Xi sat on the bed, reading a novel. She was completely immersed in the story. Her brows furrowed and relaxed, changing with the plot's twists and turns.

Upon finishing, she sighed deeply, put down the manuscript, and lingered over the novel's content with a sense of lingering satisfaction.
