Chapter 45, Meeting Again
The temperature was noticeably lower than yesterday. Newly arrived players might not have noticed anything amiss, but Zhong Bingxuan had been in this dungeon for three days and easily sensed that something was wrong.
It seems a cold wave is coming, which is bad. We can only hope that the sea will freeze later.
"Mom, it's so cold today."
Zhong Bingxuan planned to start with An's mother. Harlelin was clearly not as easy to fool as the original owner's mother. She didn't want to get anything out of him and end up getting herself into trouble.
"It seems really cold, but luckily you bought a lot of warm items yesterday, so you don't have to worry about keeping warm."
"But what if the seawater freezes if it keeps getting cold?"
Zhong Bingxuan looked at An's mother with feigned concern. An's mother frowned and absentmindedly comforted her daughter.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing happens very rarely."
Seeing that An's mother had taken her words to heart, Zhong Bingxuan didn't say anything more, lest An's mother notice something was wrong.
An's mother was frequently distracted while eating, and Zhong Bingxuan called her several times but she didn't hear her.
"Ah, daughter, are you calling me?"
"Mom, are you alright? I called you several times, but you didn't respond."
She thought An's mother would leave directly, but she was distracted and kept eating with the original owner. She was obviously taking good care of the original owner and did not abandon her obviously uneasy daughter because of her own personal feelings.
"It's nothing. Mom is thinking about what to have for lunch with your dad to make and enjoy some fun."
An's mother casually mentioned it, and Zhong Bingxuan didn't ask to find out An's mother's schedule, so she didn't press the matter further. She told An's mother to go find Harlelin after finishing her meal and didn't stop her.
Zhong Bingxuan has other things to do today. She went shopping yesterday to prepare warm clothing, and today she needs to prepare food.
The more the merrier, no one knows how long we'll need to stay in this instance.
The main mission is to successfully land, and there seems to be no time limit.
When Zhong Bingxuan went to the shopping center, she heard the staff there say that there had been a shortage of cargo recently, and the docks were worried that the temperature would continue to drop and the seawater would suddenly freeze, causing ships to be stranded halfway. They said that the food they had was only enough to last them a month.
Zhong Bingxuan realized that the time limit was at most one month. The seawater would definitely freeze in the middle, causing problems with cargo transportation and inevitably leading to food shortages. One month was neither a long nor a short time.
This is a giant ship, the home of wealthy young men. Those people have no concept of thrift and frugality. The one month the waiter mentioned is probably not enough time at all.
Zhong Bingxuan frantically rummaged through her shopping basket for all sorts of snacks. It wasn't that she didn't want to collect rice, noodles, or other staple foods to cook for herself; it was just that no one here knew how to cook, and the shopping center simply didn't sell these kinds of things.
Only snacks and desserts, which some VIPs who love to eat will buy, give Zhong Bingxuan the opportunity to collect some.
When it was time to pay the bill, Zhong Bingxuan took out the gold card that her mother had given her and made the payment.
She didn't know how other players solved their resource problems; all she knew was that her mother, the original owner of the body, had been a great help in this instance.
Otherwise, let alone completing the first-class mission, the issue of funding would be a major problem.
Zhong Bingxuan went out in disguise again this time. If others found out that she was buying supplies, she and her mother would be like children holding golden eggs when supplies became scarce later on, and they would easily be targeted by wolves and tigers, and they would not even be able to save their lives.
"Madam, have you ever seen the clay dolls of Xingni City? I accidentally lost one of my clay dolls. Could you please help me find it?"
When Zhong Bingxuan heard this man's words, her heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw that it was the man who had helped her out of the predicament yesterday.
I already felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar, and after they said that, I felt that they looked even more like them.
"Sir, how many clay figurines are you looking for?"
"There are four clay dolls, but I only have one of them. The other three belong to my friends. If you can, I can take a look at them."
Upon receiving a response from the woman before him, Li Hanmo smiled. Heaven knows how frantically he had been searching for her yesterday.
His cronies were all joking that he and Young Master Lin had gotten out of singlehood on the same day. What a coincidence! They wondered which stunningly beautiful woman had managed to steal the heart of their innocent young master, Young Master Mo.
They said they would help him find someone, but in reality, they were all just looking to see Li Hanmo make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, Li Hanmo found the person first, preventing those cronies from embarrassing Zhong Bingxuan.
Unfortunately, Li Hanmo relaxed too soon. Just as Zhong Bingxuan was smiling and about to take out the clay doll to add Li Hanmo back, his group of cronies appeared not far away.
"Haha, Mr. Mo, you have such unique taste. No wonder so many rich and noble ladies couldn't win you over."
When Li Hanmo heard Manlaven's roguish voice, his face darkened, and he wished he could just beat the man away.
What's that lecherous guy doing here? What if he takes a fancy to Ah Xuan?
Clearly, Li Hanmo, who believes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, thinks that even with an ordinary face, Zhong Bingxuan is still captivating.
"Master Wen, so this is the Young Master Mo you were talking about, Duke Mo. He is indeed a handsome man, but his taste is eccentric, and the people he likes are rather unique."
It's true that the world is a vast and wondrous place. It was already quite a coincidence that she ran into her boyfriend while shopping, but she even bumped into Manlavin and Mohei, whom she had just met yesterday. That's just unbelievable.
Just by looking at the fake smile on Mo Hei's face, you could tell that the other party definitely remembered what happened yesterday and wanted to find an opportunity to kill her and Li Hanmo.
Since they were enemies, Zhong Bingxuan didn't give them any face. Crushing them to death was the only way. She smiled and looked at Manlawen, "Miss Mohei, although my family is not interested in you, you can't belittle yourself and say that you have a unique appearance, right? I think Miss Mohei is quite seductive, just like a vixen, seducing one after another."
"You shameless scoundrel, you're crying wolf! You used underhanded tricks to seduce Young Master Mo, and you still dare to say that others are immoral and that they're seducing other people's boyfriends."
Mo Hei was enraged by Zhong Bingxuan's words, completely losing her ladylike image. Her eyes widened in anger, startling Manlaven who was standing next to her.
Mo Hei always maintained a composed and ladylike demeanor in front of Manraven, but it was unexpected that he had such a fierce and menacing side, no different from his wife at home.
No, at least his wife has money to spend, but this woman not only has no money, she's also fierce and causes him trouble.
Manlaven glanced at Zhong Bingxuan without making a sound. Seeing that Mo Shao's expression was getting worse and worse, he wanted to help Mo Hei, but she dodged him. He was furious and thought that he would find someone else next time. This woman had no sense of propriety at all.
Unfortunately, Mo Hei didn't notice the strange behavior of the man beside him, as he was focused on killing Zhong Bingxuan.
Seeing that she had angered Mo Hei to the point of revealing his true colors and making him unable to maintain his hypocritical facade, Zhong Bingxuan was quite satisfied. She wanted to continue to argue with him, but Li Hanmo, who was eager to protect his wife, interrupted her.
