Besides, the thought of these fish and birds fighting against that disgusting water monster made Xi Xi lose her appetite even more. She patted the sand off her hands and muttered to herself, "Maybe I should sell them now."

Fortunately, the game's trading system's identification mechanism is not that strict. Apart from a small number of items that are marked as "slightly polluted birds" or "heavily polluted fish" and prohibited from trading, most of the rest are identified as "not very fresh fish (edible)", "birds that are only half left (edible)", or "ducks with very tough meat (edible)". The process of fighting the water monster and the reason for the tragic death are not described in detail.

It is said that the meat of animals that die from torture deteriorates, and Xi Xi has now experienced this firsthand.

The trading hall was filled with numerous transactions, almost all of which were anonymous, including Xi Xi's.

She didn't have time to stand in the desert waiting for buyers, so Xi Xi changed her trading identity from seller to buyer, constantly refreshing the existing trading page, picking out some decent ones, and directly completing the transactions.

The sun was still blazing, and the hot wind, like a wild dancer, swept freely through the sand dunes, stirring up waves of golden sand.

At first, Xi Xi was able to remain patient and carefully select the items that looked to be of high quality.

However, as time went on, the sun was high in the sky, and the heat became unbearable, and she gradually began to feel irritable.

Unbeknownst to her, her originally soaked clothes were almost completely dried by the scorching sun, while the monster's eerie green bloodstains were deeply imprinted on her clothes, emitting a pungent and unpleasant odor.

The odor became increasingly unbearable for Xi Xi, so she simply stopped being picky. Without further hesitation, she quickly completed a transaction, exchanging her clothes for a brand-new men's long shirt and trousers. She quickly took off her clothes, poured out some water, hastily wiped her body with her old clothes, and then changed into the men's attire.

"Men's clothes are fine, it's better than running around naked." Xi Xi thought to herself as she tightened the drawstring of her pants, feeling much more comfortable now.

At this moment, the overall temperature in the surrounding area continued to rise, almost reaching an unbearable level. Xi Xi was secretly anxious, worried that the ingredients would spoil quickly due to the high temperature. If they couldn't pass the game's official system's review, then everything would be for nothing.

Thinking of this, she quickly sped up her pace, clicking away frantically. Toiletries, baseball caps, thermos flasks, spatulas, drinking water, backpacks, tents... and even a stack of useless clothes racks, which Xi Xi traded without hesitation.

When Xi Xi submitted the last bird to the trading interface, a prominent error message suddenly popped up on the screen in front of her.

[Game Notice: Review failed. Do not use living creatures for trading.]
