Aunt Xie stroked the rose on it and sighed, "This was custom-made a long time ago. We found a Moissanite ruby rough stone merchant and carefully selected an unheated pigeon blood red, 3 carats, and hired a designer... Although it's not a collection-level gem, it did cost a lot of money."
It is very beautiful. The entire necklace is made of gold, with a rose underneath, branches and leaves. The petals are made of winding gold threads, and a dazzling pigeon blood ruby is clustered among the layered gold petals.
The interweaving of gold and red looks rich and noble.
Qiao Xuejun thought it was indeed dazzling.
Aunt Xie sighed and continued, "Later, when the natural disasters killed all the food we had stored, we used this to go to the market and exchange it for bread, biscuits, or a few kilograms of rice or a handful of noodles. Anything was fine."
But the result is obvious: "It can't be changed at all."
The ruby necklace that was once very expensive can now be exchanged for less than a piece of biscuit.
How could it be like this? The First Base gave them 7 days of food, and extra pumpkin seeds.
They said it very clearly, it was just for Qiao Xuejun's sake.
Qiao Xuejun didn't want their things, but they were still grateful to them.
And after all, Qiao Xuejun is an important figure in the First Base and will be living in the First Base in the future. There are only benefits and no harm in making friends with her.
Qiao Xuejun looked at the necklace and hesitated for a moment, but decided to take it: "Thank you. This necklace is very beautiful."
She decided in her heart that she would give the Xie family some more supplies as a thank you for the necklace, such as the kimchi they had pickled in the shelter.
Seeing Qiao Xuejun accept it, Aunt Xie smiled and said, "Isn't it beautiful?"
"It looks good." Qiao Xuejun picked it up and looked at it. The ruby swayed gently with her movements, scattering dazzling light.
Qiao Xuejun and the patrol soldiers left with the 10 people that the Xie family had prepared and returned to the big ship.
The ship started receiving survivors yesterday. After getting on board, the logistics coordinator arranged accommodation for the Xie family according to the plan.
However, the survivors on board were strictly controlled and ate and slept in their rooms. Qiao Xuejun could not see them when she was eating in the restaurant.
Qiao Xuejun found an unused bucket from the restaurant and temporarily kept the moss and algae she brought back in her room. This method cannot be used for long-term cultivation, but it will be returned within two days and will not let them die.
After working today, Qiao Xuejun smelled of the sea and mud. After finishing her work, she washed up in the bathroom.
After Qiao Xuejun finished washing up and came out to dry her hair, she muttered, "I'll just cut my hair short when I get home..."
Her hair was not very long originally, but it has grown so long that it now reaches her vest.
"Host, host, I loaded it out!" the system suddenly said excitedly.
Qiao Xuejun paused for a moment and asked with interest, "What was loaded?"
System: "It's very advanced, such as beauty and hairdressing!"
Qiao Xuejun: “?”
"You call this advanced?"
System: "There is a bonus to beauty! For example, you can do the top-notch aerobic perm, which will not only keep your hair in good condition, but also create a perm that will naturally increase others' favorability towards you by 2 points."
It may not sound like 2 points are a lot, but people have to meet so many people in a day, and meeting 10 people would be 20 points.
You don't have to do anything, just make your hair look good and people will get 20 points more favorability when they look at you.
Qiao Xuejun thought of Shen Xingtang's thick and smooth golden brown curly hair. No wonder she looked so delicate and beautiful every time she appeared. It really paid off.
But what's the point of having so much favorability? She thinks it's too empty.
Qiao Xuejun: "...then try to blow dry my hair first."
The system stopped talking.
Qiao Xuejun: "What's wrong? Can't washing, cutting and blow-drying be done together? Can only perm but not blow-dry?"
The system stuttered: "Um, host, I am a planting system."
Qiao Xuejun sneered: "I knew it. You can't do it, right?"
She continued to wipe her wet hair herself.
The system was a little frustrated: "I tried, I can only see its function introduction, but I can't use it. I think I should devour this part of energy and evolve my own function before I can use it."
Evolved its own function, which is related to planting and survival?
Qiao Xuejun: "Then how long will it take you to evolve?"
System: "I haven't tried it, and I don't know, but the basic energy fusion has been completed. It should be quick. One or two days."
That was really fast.
Qiao Xuejun: "You evolve."
Qiao Xuejun dried her hair and looked at the time. It was 9 o'clock in the evening.
Zhao Xian and the others haven't come back yet.
Qiao Xuejun touched the ruby rose necklace hanging around her neck.
Huo Antu went to the research institute to collect supplies. In addition to the patrol team, he also brought a salvage team. There were quite a lot of people, and they set off at 6 o'clock in the morning. The situation should be quite complicated.
Qiao Xuejun felt a little worried when she thought about this. After all, the city environment was unfamiliar and she didn't know what would happen.
She put on her coat, walked out of the room, and onto the deck. She stood in front of the guardrail and looked out over the ice towards the research institute.
There was a guard team standing guard on the deck. They were a little surprised to see Qiao Xuejun coming out: "Teacher Qiao, why are you out at this time? It's very cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
The sea breeze was stronger and colder at night. It was blowing so loudly that it blurred people's voices and made them speak loudly involuntarily.
There was no light in front of him, so Qiao Xuejun just replied, "It's stuffy in the house, come out and get some fresh air."
The soldier of the escort team said, "Teacher Qiao, you really can't stay idle. You can take a breath, but you can't stay for long. Your hair is wet. It will freeze in a while."
