Chapter 24 Chapter 24 (bugs have been caught) Little Monster "Little...
It turns out that famous quotes do have a lot of factual basis.
While Chang Ruijia was calming the monster down, she fumbled to tie the canopy poles together again.
Although the details page specifically stated that the canopy poles were thicker and thicker when the special offer was redeemed, considering the monster's huge weight, Chang Ruijia decided not to make things difficult for it since it had made great contributions in the rainstorm.
These tied-together tent poles were at least as thick as a thigh, and Chang Ruijia needed both hands to hold them tightly. She also took out the large bottle of drink that appeared every night and placed it underneath as the last important fulcrum in the entire operation.
Everything in the darkness can only be done by groping. It is a luxury for Chang Ruijia to solve these problems quickly. She must take it slowly to ensure that every step is accurate.
Although she felt that the monster's action just now was a tacit approval of her behavior, no one knew what the monster really felt, so she had to remain vigilant when performing her actions to prevent the monster from suddenly turning against her and causing her harm.
Fortunately, what Chang Ruijia worried about did not happen in the end.
Perhaps knowing that she was trying to save herself, the monster stopped struggling violently and lay on the bed even after feeling a hard object appear under her body, which greatly facilitated Chang Ruijia's movements.
Everything was ready. Chang Ruijia still kept her feet near the monster's body, sensing any possible changes in its position, and pressed down hard with both hands.
“Ah~”
Before Chang Ruijia could feel any changes, the monster in the middle of the bed suddenly let out a long roar, and the sound was full of joy.
Although it felt that the rolling direction was a little wrong, its body was indeed moving towards the water source.
Chang Ruijia actually didn't know which part of the monster she was prying into. After all, it was pitch dark at night and she couldn't see anything clearly.
However, since she didn't hear any other emotions in the monster's cry, there shouldn't be anything wrong with her actions. As long as there are no mistakes, it's fine.
After confirming that its position was indeed moving under the action of the lever, Chang Ruijia calmed herself down and began to gradually exert force with both hands, while prying the monster's body towards the water source at the end of the bed, and at the same time constantly moving all the tools to the end of the bed as it moved.
Although using levers to move the monster into the sea little by little was the most labor-saving method she could think of, the huge weight was there after all. However, the distance of just a few meters across the bed was enough to make Chang Ruijia breathless.
"Huh, bye!"
Feeling the entire bed gradually tilting towards the top, Chang Ruijia knew that the monster was only one step away from the sea surface.
Chang Ruijia breathed a sigh of relief, patted the cold surface of the monster that was close to her, and spoke softly.
With a loud "thump", Chang Ruijia felt that the whole bed was shaken violently several times by the huge force that suddenly disappeared.
I just don't know if it's because the bed is the only floating object supporting its survival, the monster's huge weight didn't cause the entire bed to overturn, it just caused some huge shaking.
As the monster fell into the water and splashed water, Chang Ruijia was once again thankful that she did not rashly remove the canopy from her body, otherwise she would have been soaked by now.
Huge splashes of water directly splashed onto the bed which was very close to it. The force of the splash was almost comparable to the storm that had just passed.
“Ah~”
A familiar chirping sound came from a distance, the sound was full of excitement and the freedom of returning to familiar territory, but in the blink of an eye it had swum an extremely long distance.
Chang Ruijia collapsed on the bed exhausted, gasping for breath. She simply didn't have the strength to take off the canopy covering her body.
It's good to go home! If she goes back, she won't have to worry about a bloody mouth suddenly opening up and swallowing her up while she's asleep.
When she woke up, she was faced with a pitch-black night sky. Chang Ruijia couldn't even see clearly what kind of monster it was, and she probably wouldn't have the chance to see it again in the future.
Chang Ruijia felt that she might need to pay attention to another thing now.
Looking at the completely cleared first-level permissions, she was about to exchange a bottle of mineral water in the mall when she suddenly stopped and remembered what she had done during the storm.
Well... probably she will have to live a very poor life again for a while.
Looking at the first-level permission exchange button that turned gray again, Chang Ruijia no longer had any curiosity about the little monster in her heart, and was filled with a feeling of wanting to cry but having no tears.
What is going on?
After saving up for a long time, all the money was lost after a storm. God really makes it hard on us poor people!
Angrily unscrewing the 2L bottle of Lei Bi beside him, Chang Ruijia gulped down a big gulp, burped unhappily and thought.
The miserable days she described were probably the kind that would get beaten up by other people on the sea after they heard her complaints.
Even though they don't have water, they still have 2L bottles of Lei Bi. They don't mind living such a miserable life!
Although she acted well, Chang Ruijia knew that figuring out how to continue to find ways to increase the exchange privileges was a serious matter that she had to take to heart.
The first and second level permissions have now reached the upper limit. Even if she wants to continue to increase them, the only way to obtain permissions is to wait for the idle items to be collected every three days.
Although the second-level authority was not greatly affected because she had no suitable items to keep warm, it was of little use to her now.
After all, even if she wanted to eat pickled mustard greens to fill her stomach, she would have to seriously consider whether she would choke to death on the pickled mustard greens before she was full.
But these things need to be solved at least until dawn. Without the monster dancing on the bed, Chang Ruijia's head began to feel confused again.
Now even if she wanted to open the curtain, she would worry about stepping on empty air and falling into the sea, so she should take this opportunity to have a good rest.
Ever since everyone's bodies were frozen during the storm, Chang Ruijia has been particularly greedy for the warmth coming from her body. Therefore, she didn't even pry open the skylight and fell into a deep sleep under the cover of darkness.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already bright outside.
Looking at the sunlight shining through the skylight onto the bed, Chang Ruijia felt her whole mood become extremely relaxed. She finally survived the unbearable storm.
She also needs to continue working and get her life back on track.
Without further ado, Chang Ruijia felt full of energy. She began to crawl under the canopy towards the bed with swift movements, and untied the wind rope that was used to tie the canopy tightly to a suitable length.
With the experience of setting up the canopy for the first time, she set it up again without much effort this time and felt the familiar comfort again.
Looking at the warm sunshine that finally spread all over her body and the fact that life seemed to have returned to normal, Chang Ruijia felt full of energy as she was making the bed.
She took out all the things that had been stuffed into the gap at the head of the bed one by one.
The situation happened so suddenly that she didn't have much time to react to it, and she was really rushed.
Now when I fumble to take things out, many small and trivial things are gone.
For example, the nail clippers that gave her her first cutting experience seemed to be too small. As it was swaying wildly with the waves, it accidentally slipped into the sea through the gap. Now there was no trace of it in the crack of the bed.
However, although she was heartbroken about the loss of many things, Chang Ruijia felt a little comforted when she saw that most of the items were still left.
In such violent shaking, even she was almost thrown out of the bed, it was already good enough that some things were left.
But the loss of those small and trivial things did serve as a wake-up call for her.
Looking at all the things spread out on the bed again, Chang Ruijia really didn't know whether she would be able to notice the abnormality first and have extra time to put them in order next time such a situation occurred.
Besides, leaving them lying messily on the bed is not a good idea after all.
Chang Ruijia collected the goods she already had and those for sale in the Kan Yidao system, trying to find a suitable item to put them all together safely.
In this way, even if she encounters this situation again, she will not be in a panic.
However, there were only a few items available on the Kanyidao platform, and her current exchange privileges were very limited. In the end, Chang Ruijia just took a quick glance and then returned her gaze to the things originally on her bed.
By saving herself from the cold during the storm, Chang Ruijia suddenly realized a truth from life.
There is no such thing as an inappropriate thing, only unexpected solutions.
Before encountering such extremely low temperatures, she had never thought that steamed buns and dumplings could sometimes be a means of keeping warm, so these things must have some uses that she has not yet utilized.
Chang Ruijia patiently counted all the things on the bed, trying to find an item that could keep all the trivial items together intact.
However, apart from some necessary items that cannot be used for other purposes, Chang Ruijia only has useless things in her hands such as game consoles, razors, etc. that appear in her hands every day.
What else had she not expected?
Chang Ruijia looked around up and down without giving up. She always felt like she had overlooked something.
Finally, when she glanced at the clothes thrown aside after being removed from the canopy, she had a good idea.
Although these clothes were extremely stretched into shape when used as clotheslines, and were later soaked by the heavy rain outside, their most basic stitching form has not changed!
Chang Ruijia untied a short-sleeved shirt from the clothesline and looked at it carefully in her hand.
Indeed, this dress is no longer suitable to be worn after being stretched so much, and it will be loose even if worn. But as long as she can find a way to close the cuffs and the tail, wouldn't it be a bag that fits perfectly?
Chang Ruijia slapped her head and quickly searched through all the remaining things on the bed. Is there any tool that can close them together?
Unfortunately, she forgot that she was not very good at needlework, and there had never been anything like needlework on her bed.
There was really no other way, Chang Ruijia could only tie a huge knot at the tail, and let the cuffs and collar serve as handles.
Following the same method, I made several pieces of clothing on the bed into simple bags, and the mess on the bed was finally put away cleanly and effectively.
Looking at the brand new bed and the several cloth bags piled at the head of the bed, Chang Ruijia suddenly felt the same feeling as when she was a child and opened the cabinet at her grandparents' house.
Ha ha ha ha!
No wonder she felt that this method always looked familiar. It turned out that she had already learned the essence of this matter from the older generation.
As for the cloth bags filled with things, in order not to cause too much burden on the canopy, Chang Ruijia temporarily hung them on the other side of the bed.
Fortunately, when she sent the monster back into the sea last night, she had verified that the bed was completely stable and would not tip over due to the addition of things on that side of the bed, so when stacking things, she could just pile them in a corner at will.
Suddenly thinking of the monster that was pushed back into the sea last night, Chang Ruijia's eyes looking at the sea surface showed a little more curiosity.
From the beginning to the end, she was in complete darkness, and she never saw what the monster looked like. She wondered if it was similar to the monsters under the bed that kept chasing her relentlessly.
However, from their close contact last night, Chang Ruijia felt that her attitude towards the monsters in the sea might have undergone a two-level change.
Although all the monsters she encountered so far gave her a feeling of extreme danger, it seemed that some monsters did not pose a threat to humans.
Like the monster last night.
If it wanted to attack her, she might have been buried in the monster's stomach before she fully woke up. Why would the monster wait until it slowly woke up before showing that feeling of extreme excitement and jumping.
Of course, Chang Ruijia could not rule out the possibility that the reason she did not take direct action was that the monster was not in the sea where it was like a fish in water, so it did not show much aggressiveness.
But monsters have different personalities, and we can't generalize and think that they are all ferocious. This is indeed worth serious consideration.
All facts are still subject to debate.
Chang Ruijia sighed with some regret. If the situation at that time had not been so hasty, it would have been better if they could have had further contact. She might have had more theoretical basis.
Before Chang Ruijia could finish her regretful thoughts, a very familiar cry suddenly came from the sea in the distance.
“Ah~”
??? It’s the voice of that little monster!
Chang Ruijia stood up in surprise and looked into the distance. Could it be that the little monster came back again?
However, as far as she could see, all she could see was the boundless ocean and the deep water that looked like a black hole.
How could that be? They hadn't even met yesterday. It was just a brief encounter. Besides, it was a monster, not a human. Why would it come back to look for her again?
Not seeing the scene she had secretly expected, Chang Ruijia sat back on the bed somewhat disappointed, looking at the sea in front of her and said to herself to comfort herself.
“Ah~”
But as a cry that was closer than the previous one reached her ears, a column of water spurted up from the bottom of the sea where Chang Ruijia could see.
"It's really you!" Feeling the same excitement as last night, Chang Ruijia was finally sure that she was not mistaken. The little monster from last night really came back.
Compared to facing the unknown situation in the dark yesterday, Chang Ruijia was much calmer when she saw the little monster this time. She no longer felt the same fear as when they were sleeping in the same bed.
Past experience told her that no matter how ferocious and explosive the monsters were, as long as she stayed safely on her floating object without exposing any part of her body and fell into the sea, they would be unable to do anything to her.
Now she is the one sitting on the bed and holding the initiative in speaking, so what is there to worry about?
"It's you, little monster!"
Compared to other monsters lurking on the seabed waiting to give her a fatal blow, in Chang Ruijia's eyes, this little guy who voluntarily showed his head above the sea and called her was very kind.
"It doesn't seem particularly polite to keep calling you a little monster. How about I give you a name?"
“Ah~”
I don’t know if the monster understood what Chang Ruijia said, but it excitedly sprayed out a few more jets of water and swam around Chang Ruijia’s bed.
"Is 'Eeyoo' your cry?" Chang Ruijia looked at the excited cat curiously, "Then how about I just call you 'Xiaoe'?"
“Ah~”
Seeing Xiao Yi's continued excitement, Chang Ruijia didn't care whether it could understand or not. She just agreed with the name.
With a living creature to accompany her, she no longer has to worry about whether there will be any danger during their interaction, and Chang Ruijia seems to have opened her mouth to talk.
"Xiao Ai, why did you appear in my bed last night? When I opened my eyes, I found a huge creature on the bed. Do you know how surprised I was?"
"Xiaohei, what kind of creature are you? Why do I feel like I've never seen anything like you before?"
"Oh, that's right. We don't live in the same era. It seems normal that I haven't seen a creature like you."
"By the way, does your ocean floor also have its own food chain? I once hacked at those monsters underwater with a kitchen knife, but in the end I didn't even know what I was hurting."
"However, I seem to have provoked a few tough guys before, and they've been following me around, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. If you get too close to me, will they bully you?"
…
Chang Ruijia didn't care whether Xiao Yi could understand her or not. She hadn't communicated with anyone who could listen to her attentively for several days. If she didn't find someone to talk to about the things she had been holding in her mouth for the past few days, she would not feel comfortable at all.
However, Chang Ruijia, who was so absorbed in blurting out all the words, did not notice that after hearing some of what she said, Xiao Yi blinked his eyes under the sea in a very human way, as if he really understood what she was saying.
"You guys down under the sea don't have a 007 work system, do you?" Chang Ruijia was lost in her own complaints. "Let me tell you, if it weren't for that damn boss 007, I probably wouldn't be here for no apparent reason... Eh??? Xiao Ai, where are you going?"
Before Chang Ruijia finished speaking, she saw Xiao Yi dive into the deep seabed, as if to escape from her deadly nagging.
"Is it really that serious?" Looking at Xiao Yi's actions in amazement, Chang Ruijia muttered a little discouraged.
She just hadn't seen her friends for a long time, so she started to talk a little.
She could even nag the monster away. She always felt as if some strange ability had been discovered.
