Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Emergency Blanket and Level 4 Exchange Rights...
Ding Dong! The first Marlin redemption request has been accepted and is being processed...
[Ding Dong! Redemption successful! One double-layer, extra-thick emergency blanket, 15 Level 4 permissions, 10 Level 3 permissions...]
Looking at the prompts given by the system, Chang Ruijia no longer had the heart to pay attention to the various trivial things that continued to appear. Even the fourth-level authority that she had finally successfully broken through and obtained was put aside.
Emergency survival blanket*1!
Chang Ruijia's eyes lit up when she noticed the harvest item given by the system for the first time.
The next second, she didn't care about her previous reluctance to look at the system reward for the time being, and directly reached out and took out the emergency life blanket from the system commodity warehouse.
Seeing the brightly colored packaging bag in her hand, Chang Ruijia couldn't wait to take out the life blanket from the bag and directly wrapped her head and body in it.
I waited quietly for a while, feeling that in just a short period of time, my arms, which were always covered with goose bumps from the sea breeze, recovered and my whole body warmed up.
Chang Ruijia sighed comfortably. It had been a long time since she felt such a warm spring-like feeling. For a moment, she was reluctant to put the blanket back.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this blanket looks ordinary on the surface, and may even feel less comfortable than the blanket on the bed. But if we really compare the functions of the two things, ten blankets cannot compare to this life-saving blanket.
Chang Ruijia, who had been in the sea breeze for so long that she had almost forgotten what warmth meant, felt drowsy from the bottom of her heart because of the comfortable warmth, and thought of some memories.
Before she inexplicably came to this sea area, because of her acute sense of danger, she felt for a period of time that the world was in an extremely unsafe state.
In order to continuously buff up her sense of self-protection, Chang Ruijia attended various public classes on safety. She learned about the fire blanket in the fire prevention public class.
Stroking the slightly prickly material on the surface of the blanket on her body, Chang Ruijia sighed with some admiration. It was this kind of material that could play a certain role in heat insulation and fire isolation in a fire where the temperature suddenly rises, ensuring that the human body would not be harmed by the changing temperature.
But later, when she was choosing on various shopping apps, she discovered another wonderful use of it besides isolating heat.
Since the outside temperature is isolated by the blanket and cannot be transmitted to the person inside the blanket, the heat generated inside the blanket will definitely not be lost much in a short time.
Chang Ruijia thought with some regret that the emergency supplies she bought at that time were carefully placed in a conspicuous cabinet. She didn't expect that this caution would backfire on her.
If there was a blanket like this on the bed, she would never have suffered from hypothermia during the previous storm. It really is fate.
However, no matter how regretful Chang Ruijia was before, now everything has been compensated by the system. It can even be said that this thing is what she urgently needs at the moment.
Although the emergency rescue blanket produced by the system is different from the one she had before, at least in Chang Ruijia's opinion, their functions are still similar at present.
Moreover, Chang Ruijia raised her eyebrows and thought naturally that the emergency life-saving blanket produced by the system should have more surprising effects than those she bought on shopping apps in her previous life.
After all, even an ordinary kitchen knife in the system's hand could kill an atavistic fish that was nearly four meters long in the situation just now.
If we calculate based on common sense from the past, not only would the blade of the kitchen knife have broken long ago, it would also have been extremely difficult to use.
Chang Ruijia couldn't let go of the emergency life blanket and was looking forward to what kind of surprises it would bring her in the days of drifting on the sea.
After finally diverting her eyes from the emergency life blanket, Chang Ruijia finally decided to pay attention to other things when she thought of the series of instructions following the emergency life blanket.
Other things can be left aside for now, but seeing that the system generously gave 15 points of level 4 authority, Chang Ruijia almost applauded the system for its rare generosity.
A marlin carcass that had reverted to its original form actually gave out so many redemption privileges in addition to the life-saving blanket that was given at the beginning. It was truly eye-opening.
If the system could always be so generous, wouldn't she be able to escape poverty and embark on the road to a well-off and happy life just by asking Xiao Ai for help?
However, Chang Ruijia has been with the system for so many days and understands that it will definitely not give her the opportunity to take advantage so easily.
After all, the first and second level permissions that were previously used to take advantage of the situation were directly banned with a limit of 50 times. If she is allowed to obtain the fourth level permission so easily, wouldn’t that be equivalent to inflation?
She still remembered what the system announced at the beginning. This was the "first time" to exchange the corpse of the atavistic marlin, so she would get so many rewards. She believed that the next time there was such an opportunity, the exchange level would return to a normal level.
Chang Ruijia touched her chin and thought about it according to the system. If she got the corpse of another unknown creature on the seabed, would there be such a surprising reward?
This is a good idea. Chang Ruijia thinks that if she has the chance in the future, she can think of a way to try it out.
But forget it now. After all, even this atavistic marlin was obtained successfully with the help of Xiao Ai. It is better to think of something more realistic.
Faced with the permissions that the system directly exchanged for in a large amount, Chang Ruijia rubbed her hands in anticipation, and was somewhat impatient to see what kind of items the system had updated with the exchange of the fourth-level permissions.
Because of her urgent desire to transform the bed, she wanted to buy many more things from the system!
As soon as Chang Ruijia returned to the homepage of the system mall, the first thing she saw was the updated special offers that had appeared again.
It seems that the updates of special-priced products are not carried out according to the real time. Chang Ruijia, who originally thought that the updates would be carried out at fixed time, said thoughtfully.
Since the first appearance of the kitchen knife, every time the special offer product is updated, it seems that when it breaks through the original redemption authority level, there will always be a special offer product that steps on the bottom line of her property.
Thinking of how she had been choked by the system pricing several times before, Chang Ruijia rubbed her temples unconvinced.
She just didn't believe it. After the system's sudden generosity, at least she had become a rich woman in the newly emerged fourth-level authority. Could it be that she would be discouraged this time?
Chang Ruijia's hand couldn't wait to move downwards, intending to take a good look at what kind of problem the system was going to give her this time.
[Special **Exchange Price: 4 points of Level 4 Exchange Permission]
Tsk! Isn't it still 4 points of level 4 redemption privilege?
Spend as much as you want! Who are you looking down on?
When Chang Ruijia saw the price of the new special offer for the first time, she relaxed her cautious tone and looked at the system interface with a generous look.
Now she suddenly had 15 points of Level 4 redemption privileges. It was just a 4-point special offer. How could she not afford it? This was just looking down on her!
After pretending to be cool, Chang Ruijia instantly retracted her arrogant expression and carefully looked over the introduction of the special products on the page.
You will not be poor if you have enough food and clothing, but you will be poor if you fail to plan.
Even if you suddenly become rich, you can't spend all your power lavishly. You don't know when you will catch the next atavistic marlin.
Therefore, she can just mock the system a little. If she really spends the money lavishly, then she is the one who is stupid.
Chang Ruijia perked up and looked at the product description that had just been ignored, wanting to see what special products the system had brought her this time.
[Paddle: Aluminum alloy pole, thickened blades, non-slip handle, easy to install, a must-have for home and outings! If you want to use it for other purposes, it's up to you.]
To be honest, when Chang Ruijia first saw the product name appearing on the system, her expression did show disdain for a moment.
Compared to others who carefully paddled the sea with their hands, slowly pushing the floating objects to other directions, Chang Ruijia had already used the homemade kitchen knife brand paddle early on.
Not only can you easily paddle out a large section of floating objects, but you can also occasionally plunder some unsuspecting unknown creatures beneath the sea surface. What a perfect combination of two things!
Her first impression of the professional paddle that appeared on the system was not even as amazing as the one that appeared on the sky screen.
But on second thought, Chang Ruijia was still a little hesitant about this thing appearing in the special offer column again in the system.
According to her previous experience with several special offers, none of the items that were promoted by the system and appeared in the special offer column were useless.
Looking at the system's introduction to the paddle, Chang Ruijia hesitated again and again, but finally she endured the pain of spending another 4 points for the fourth-level exchange authority and put the paddle in her pocket.
It’s better to be prepared! Chang Ruijia comforted herself and said, if she really needed the oars for something urgent and she didn’t exchange them in time, wouldn’t it be embarrassing!
Chang Ruijia still remembers her initial attitude towards the discounted awning. Although it didn't play much of a role in the first few days other than blocking the scorching sun, in the subsequent storm, if the awning hadn't blocked most of the rain, she might have disappeared from this world before the temperature even dropped.
In order to avoid being slapped in the face in the future, she exchanged the oar first and tied it to the head of the bed with a cloth rope, waiting for it to be needed in the future.
Chang Ruijia felt her heart bleed as she suddenly lost 4 points of level 4 exchange privileges. While going back to click on the four basic commodity categories to view information, she silently reminded herself in her heart: There are not many exchange points left, and I can't spend all the rest in a fit of rage.
At least she should keep some points in hand for emergency before catching the next atavistic marlin.
Chang Ruijia muttered to herself, but her hands were not idle as she clicked directly into the four major categories of [Clothing], [Food], [Housing], and [Transportation].
The dazzling array of goods inside really opened her eyes instantly.
In addition to the few items that have appeared in the mall before, this time the fourth-level exchange authority has updated a lot of items.
In the [Clothing] product column, Chang Ruijia finally saw some clothes that could be worn by normal people.
[Long-sleeved base shirt: 100% pure cotton, loose and comfortable for any big movements. Compared to factory-made short-sleeved shirts, it is a little more thoughtful.]
[Sports Pants: A must-have for casual sports. Made of upgraded fabric, they look youthful and energetic. Even grandparents love them. No more worrying about them ripping apart with large movements.]
Why are you still having trouble with your grandparents? Chang Ruijia looked at the description of the clothes with a bit of a smile on her face. Compared to the light and casual short-sleeved shirt last time, this long-sleeved shirt and trousers were obviously more suitable for the sea surface that had just been through a storm.
Chang Ruijia felt conflicted. Although she was indeed very warm wrapped in the emergency life-saving blanket, she couldn't always wrap herself in the blanket for all her actions. It would still be a bit inconvenient.
After some simple yet tangled thinking, I finally spent 4 points of level 4 exchange authority to put on all the long sleeves and trousers.
While putting on warm clothes under the life-saving blanket, Chang Ruijia cried and thought to herself, no wonder the system gave such generous exchange authority this time, as expected, they knew that there would be all kinds of things waiting to be exchanged.
Before I even warmed up in my hand, there were only 7 points of level 4 exchange privileges left!
With this generous consumption level, Chang Ruijia a few days ago would definitely have sighed that he was a spendthrift.
But it was worth it. Chang Ruijia was finally able to fold the life-saving blanket neatly and put it back into the system's commodity warehouse.
After stretching her limbs which were finally wrapped in warm clothes, Chang Ruijia felt as if she was freed from her restraints and almost started to show off her skills on the bed.
However, she had not looked carefully at the other columns yet. In the end, she just stepped over the various cloth bags piled on the bed and ran to a position farthest away from the end of the bed, which was now a mess, to check the new products in the mall.
Before clicking on the [Food] product column, Chang Ruijia took a few deep breaths in her heart and vowed again and again that she could not continue to spend the fourth-level exchange authority and had to leave a batch for emergency.
But these solemn words were thrown out of her mind when she saw the new food in the merchandise column.
In addition to the steamed buns, dry biscuits, pickled mustard greens, and dumplings that appeared before, more than a dozen fresh foods suddenly appeared in the food column. This is really a super big giveaway from the system.
However, there is still a bottom line to what appears in the system. The food that appears in the products at one time is basically various noodle delicacies from all over the country that have appeared on the sea before.
Chang Ruijia swallowed the saliva that was flowing out, and when she saw the column of "Mountain City Noodles" on the food, she really couldn't control her hands.
Shancheng Noodles: The broth is bright red, the noodles are slightly yellow, and the vegetables are crisp and tender. A gentle stir of red chili peppers instantly delivers a spicy, fresh, and fragrant flavor. What? Want other toppings? Beef, pork intestines, peas... You'll have to order more, okay?
Even without the system's detailed introduction, Chang Ruijia could already feel the sizzling sensation of picking up a small mouthful of noodles and having his mouth full of the spicy taste.
Is there anything more refreshing than a bowl of spicy noodles on a chilly sea surface? Chang Ruijia couldn't stand this unspeakable temptation.
However, what made him feel relieved but also a little strange was that behind the small noodles that appeared with the fourth-level authority, the price was actually 2 points of third-level authority.
?
Chang Ruijia, immersed in the delicious food, was also stunned. Could it be that the system had made a mistake in the price? How could a level 3 item appear in a level 4 exchange?
But when she continued to explore and scroll down to other noodles, she found that the price behind each bowl of noodles was also 2 points and above for level three authority.
[Pork Trotter Noodles: The broth is golden red, the pork trotter is tender, and the noodles are chewy. The pork trotter is slow-cooked over low heat until it's tender and fall off the bone. Yes, that's right, a large pork trotter comes with the noodles~]
[Jjajangmyeon: Cucumber, bean sprouts, and green beans are used as a topping. The golden fried meat sauce is covered on the noodles. Stir vigorously and your mouth will be filled with the flavor of the sauce. It is so authentic~]
…
After carefully flipping through the introductions of several other noodles, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but drooling. Even if this was a sweet trap set by the system, she had to jump in and taste the saltiness first.
I couldn't wait and used the third-level exchange authority to buy a bowl of noodles. It's no exaggeration to say that the spicy and fragrant aroma lingered over half of the sea as soon as I took it out.
Chang Ruijia picked up a mouthful of noodles covered with red oil and slurped it into her mouth. Although she choked a few times due to the sudden spicy taste, it was this familiar feeling that made her particularly nostalgic.
After just a few mouthfuls, the soup in the bowl was gone before she even had a chance to savor the noodles.
"Burp~"
After a hearty burp full of spicy sensation, Chang Ruijia finally felt warm from the inside out. Now, even if another storm came, she would dare to fight it.
Looking at the kitchen waste in her hands, things that Chang Ruijia had never cared about before suddenly came to her mind. The steamed buns and dumplings she had bought before basically appeared in her hands without any outer packaging, so she didn't worry about dealing with the garbage.
But now, does she have to keep piling up the leftover soup and bowls and chopsticks from this bowl of noodles on her bed?
Chang Ruijia hesitated for a moment with the things in her hand, and finally smiled maliciously, opened the original Xianyu exchange button, and directly threw the things in her hand over.
Anyway, these are all products of the system, so it shouldn't be too much to let the system solve it itself, right?
The system seemed to have never seen someone as shameless as Chang Ruijia. The box for exchanging items kept flashing for a long time. Seeing that she had no intention of giving up, the system could only swallow the item helplessly.
This time, the system did not emit any prompt sound indicating successful redemption.
Chang Ruijia nodded and was not surprised. After all, throwing garbage into the system and asking them to exchange points was indeed a bit too shameless.
[Ding Dong! Host, please be mindful of your own identity and don't do unnecessary things... Host, please be mindful of your own body... Host, please stop making things difficult for the little fish; it's just a salted fish!!!]
At the moment when Chang Ruijia was contentedly preparing to close the Salted Fish Exchange System, the Salted Fish Exchange System seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and popped up a prompt.
However, under Chang Ruijia's threatening gaze, the salted fish exchange system struggled for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence that sounded more like a plea for mercy than a warning.
Hahahahahahahahaha, looking at the humble appearance of the Xianyu exchange system, Chang Ruijia really couldn't help laughing for a long time.
"Little Salted Fish, if you want to blame someone, blame your big brother Kan Yi Dao. Every time he does a good job of after-sales service, he can only force you to do these things!"
Chang Ruijia closed the salted fish exchange system with a smile, with a mentality of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Although it seemed that they were in a relationship between a big brother and a little brother, who said that they couldn't fight for it internally?
This kind of show is really fun.
A bowl of noodles filled her stomach immediately. This time, Chang Ruijia finally dared to look carefully at all the items in the [Food] column.
Indeed, in this update of the fourth-level exchange authority, there were no foods that met the fourth-level exchange authority, but surprisingly, there were many items that could be exchanged with the previous types of exchange authority.
Not only were there more than a dozen bowls of noodles of different styles, but Chang Ruijia also found many snacks that required a 1-point first-level exchange privilege. This was really surprising.
After thinking for a while, Chang Ruijia did not come to a final and clear conclusion. He just guessed that every time the redemption authority was updated, the products that appeared were not all the products within the redemption authority. With the gradual upgrading and development of subsequent authorities, there may be many other low-authority products that can be exchanged.
But it is a very lucky thing!
Chang Ruijia looked at the two pages of products that had been filled in in [Food] and thought that she had been wondering why there were so few products at each level of authority, which was completely inconsistent with the meaning of the word "mall", but now it seems that there is still hope for the future.
Looking at these future grain reserves, Chang Ruijia's mood couldn't be happier. As long as she saves up more exchange privileges, returning to the old days seems to be just around the corner.
With such beautiful expectations, Chang Ruijia prepared to see if there would be anything unexpected in the remaining two products of [Accommodation] and [Transportation].
But just as she was about to move on, with the sound of waves crashing, the heart-pounding warning of the approaching crisis from afar made her look into the distance in an instant.
A familiar figure swam towards her quickly with waves, and Chang Ruijia's eyes gradually softened as she looked at the figure that made her feel infinitely happy.
"Ah~"
“Ah~”
As Xiao Yi's figure gradually approached the bed, a wave caused by the swinging of its tail was also splashed onto the bed. The cool sea water directly soaked most of the sheets and almost splashed onto Chang Ruijia.
Looking at the end of the bed which was not as clean as expected, Xiao Yi tilted his head in confusion in the sea, as if he didn't understand why something that could be swept clean by a wave before could not be swept clean now.
Could it be that the shell of this new friend is even more difficult to deal with than the barnacles on the sea turtles?
Noticing that Xiao Hui didn't understand and even wanted to continue to surge, Chang Ruijia hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "It's okay, it's okay. It should... disappear by tomorrow. Don't worry about it now."
Although Chang Ruijia couldn't bear the tragic scene caused by slaughtering the atavistic marlin, if Xiao Ai really allowed the waves to surge upwards, she was afraid that by night she would not even have a place to rest, and would be completely soaked by the surging sea water, which would be even more miserable than during a storm.
The reason why she thought she would be safe tomorrow was that during the storm, although she fainted from the cold later, she still remembered that a large area around the bed was wet by the storm.
But when she woke up this morning, she did not see the wet bed, and everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before the storm. That's why she guessed that when the floating function was updated tonight, the status of the floating objects would probably be updated as well.
That's why she didn't immediately show disgust after Xiao Yi threw the atavistic marlin onto the bed.
However, everything remains to be verified. Chang Ruijia just has some doubts about this matter. Tonight is probably the time for her to further confirm her guess.
Although he was still confused about these things, seeing that he did not show any disgust under Chang Ruijia's concealment, Xiao Yi obediently put down his tail that was still flapping.
But when Xiao Yi's head slightly emerged from the water and smelled the lingering smell on the water, a hint of blame appeared in its "Yi Yo" sound.
Why does it want to eat that smelly garbage even though it has already brought delicious food to its little friend?
Looking at Xiao Yi's expression, Chang Ruijia felt speechless for a moment.
Uh... How is she going to explain this to a fish...
Fortunately, Xiao Yi was not the kind of fish that would dwell on this matter. Although he looked at Chang Ruijia with a look of disappointment in his eyes, he still uttered "Yao" twice slowly without understanding what he was saying, and swam away again into the distance.
For some reason, when Chang Ruijia heard the two "Aiyo" sounds from Xiao Ai just now, she always felt like she was being nagged by her family for bringing takeout home at dinner time, as if she was being raised by Xiao Ai as a troublesome child.
Hmm... Looking at the direction where Xiao Yi was swimming slowly, Chang Ruijia didn't know whether she should explain to it the next time she saw Xiao Yi. In fact, she was also raising Xiao Yi like a child.
But it doesn't matter. After all, good brothers can still be each other's fathers, let alone between her and a little kid who doesn't speak the same language.
