Jiang Shuyin was stumped by his question: "Um...maybe, but no one has proven it yet."

Fushit clutched his head, feeling extremely insecure: "From now on, I must wear a helmet when I go out."

In the time it took to exchange a few jokes, the boss had already finished processing the crystal core.

The two halves were cut in half and attached to the ring, resembling both ears and eyes, full of childlike fun.

Jiang Shuyin waited for him to install the bracelet. The boss didn't immediately ask for processing fees or anything like that. Instead, he opened his overused, red eyes and asked her, "Where did you buy these rare crystal cores? Give me a source for them and I'll give you a discount on the cost this time."

Jiang Shuyin had no way to source goods, but then she realized that she could be a supplier herself!

So I gave him my phone number. After the boss added me, he glanced at my personal information and there was nothing there.

"This isn't a blank account number, is it?"

Jiang Shuyin: "This is my phone number. Tell me in advance when you want the goods, and also tell me how to ship them."

The boss was stunned: "You?"

Fushit had been waiting for a long time and urged her, "It's five o'clock now. It will be dark in half an hour. There are still nine boats to visit."

Jiang Shuyin: "I've already bought what I needed. You still have several days here, so you have plenty of time, okay?"

He turned to the shop owner and said, "What do you need now? I'll bring it to you later."

The shopkeeper quickly took out his notebook and wrote down what he was saying: "Two sets of each of the five elements, two sets of the second tier. Also, one set of the rare ones like ice, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. Any other rare colors are welcome. But could you give me a discount?"

Jiang Shuyin picked up the list and started marking things up. She crossed out ice, water, and wood—those three attributes she wanted to keep for the children as snacks. She could gather the rest herself.

"Wait for me to bring it over."

After leaving the store, Jiang Shuyin found a corner to put the reward into her spatial storage. She was really annoyed by thieves in the past. Since she was a child, three of her bicycles had been stolen. In addition to her, her mobile phone, bag, money and other items had also been stolen. So it was best to be completely clean on her.

On the two ships behind, the two bought several sets of clothes to change into. Since Fushit wanted to stay there for a few more days, he bought some daily necessities and water. The two then found a restaurant to eat at.

Fushit sat down, opened the bag containing the tortoise shell, smiled knowingly, and took out a small piece of paper from it.

Jiang Shuyin leaned closer to take a look; it was a string of numbers.

Who knew that Fushit would hand her a note: "Please call him for me and tell him to come to our ship tonight."

Jiang Shuyin's face stiffened: "You guys..."

Fushit laughed heartily: "People from Z country are too conservative. Sex is a matter of freedom. As long as both parties want to do it, they can do it. Why worry about these and those things? Lison is very adaptable. However, the girl he recently slept with has an upper half of her face that looks a bit like yours."

Okay, Lison's feelings for her were positive before, but now they're negative.

Jiang Shu felt so disgusted that she almost couldn't eat.

Fushit told his bodyguard to eat at another table, and he whispered to Jiang Shuyin alone: ​​"You should also find a bed partner for tonight, I guarantee Morrison will be furious."

He mainly wanted to see that big guy; Fushit was genuinely curious.

Jiang Shu glanced at him sideways and said, "Childish."

At 7:30, it was completely dark.

Jiang Shuyin pushed the plate in front of her away: "I'm not shopping anymore, I still have to deliver goods to people."

“Okay.” Frustrated that tonight’s plans would fall through, he urged her to call the tortoise shell shop owner.

After dialing, Jiang Shuyin handed the phone directly to Fu Xite and walked quickly forward.

The city's unified closing time is 8 PM, and many shops are preparing to close now, so Jiang Shuyin quickened her pace.

Upon arriving at the shop, the owner was still busy with his work. Jiang Shu led him over and placed the crystal core on the counter. The sound of the crystal core tapping against the glass counter made the owner's chin twitch.

"You've arrived."

The shopkeeper gently placed the items aside, washed his hands with the running water nearby, and wiped them behind his back as he walked over.

Jiang Shuyin turned to the side and showed him the crystal core: "Let's check the goods."

The shopkeeper picked up a fire-type crystal core and commented with a critical eye: "It's not smooth enough. Making it into jewelry would consume a third of the raw material." He then picked up a gold-type crystal core: "This one is not bad. It can be used as jewelry or as an energy storage device, but the color is a bit pale."

Jiang Shuyin remained silent, waiting to see what price he would offer her.

In the end, the boss kept all the crystal cores in his hands, unwilling to put any of them down.

Jiang Shuyin guessed that Fu Xite was coming quickly: "Hurry up, I'm leaving tomorrow."

The shopkeeper tentatively offered a price: "How about 6,000 mission points?"

Jiang Shuyin wasn't good at bargaining, but she didn't want to be taken advantage of: "How much are you going to give me for each of these rare attribute crystal cores like Light and Dark? Don't take me for a fool. If you don't speak properly, don't ask me for goods again."

The boss gritted his teeth: "Seven thousand eight, all my task points are here. If you're not satisfied, can I give you one more point after I sell it?"

Jiang Shuyin nodded: "Then let's do it this way, transfer the money."

The boss pretended to be distressed, but was actually overjoyed inside. Light and dark items were going crazy in the market!

Even if he doesn't process it, he can make four figures just by reselling it. But that's just wishful thinking. The crystal core circle is only so big. If this person hears about it, wouldn't he be indirectly offending a big shot?

It's not worth it, it's better to take it slow and steady.

Jiang Shuyin was a little excited when she received the transfer. When she saw that her balance had become a five-digit number starting with 4, she almost jumped up.

Fushit could clearly sense her good mood and smiled along, "Looks like you made quite a bit."

Jiang Shuyin smiled knowingly. The road was a bit unstable after getting off the cargo ship, and the small boat below hadn't packed up yet. She wanted to sell some more while people on their way back passed by.

The old woman from before is now alone on the boat; her son is nowhere to be found.

Jiang Shuyin couldn't bear to watch this scene and was about to turn her face away.

The old woman recognized her and waved to her.

Jiang Shu looked around and realized that she was being called. She hesitated for a moment and then walked over: "Is there something you need?"

The old woman pointed to the algae on the bow of the boat, then to her: "Buy some to take home, we've already eaten them and we're fine."

Jiang Shuyin carried the plants in her hands, and the old woman opened her hand, placing a QR code on her palm: "Thank you, thank you..."

Even after walking away, you could still hear the old woman's repeated murmurs.

Back on the ship, Jiang Shuyin took the time to ask the system, "Is this edible? Isn't it said that the ocean is polluted? And the sea mud from which these green algae grow hasn't been treated."

[It's amazing, you can eat it. Certain substances in this plant have bound to the virus, forming antibodies. You won't get infected whether you eat it raw or cooked.]

Jiang Shuyin suddenly burst out laughing and couldn't help but take a second look.

She was certain that the value of these plants far exceeded what she had given them.

She gave half to the head chef as ingredients, and planned to deliver the other half to the research institute when she passed through Hangzhou.

"System, I suddenly remembered a saying: Where there are venomous snakes, there is bound to be an antidote. The virus originated from the ocean, so its antidote will also be found in the ocean."

There's some truth to that.
