Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Teamwork
The conversation with Lu Baian was quite pleasant. Although a light drizzle began to fall from the sky during the chat, it did not cause too much problem for them who had already experienced storms and fog on the sea.
When the raindrops just started to fall, Lu Baian, holding the food thrown to him by Chang Ruijia, immediately installed the rainproof equipment that had been idle aside.
Although it may not be as convenient as Chang Ruijia’s canopy, it can still block the rain which may or may not cause any problems.
However, it was obviously just an ordinary drizzle.
The fine raindrops fell on the sea, and the tinkling sound was refreshing, bringing a hint of coolness to the originally hot and humid weather.
After noticing it was raining, Chang Ruijia looked up at the sky with vigilant eyes. When she found that the sky was not covered with dark clouds like before the last storm, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If there is another storm, the problem will be much more serious.
However, the quiet is only temporary. For those who are almost accustomed to living on this sea, this little rain will not affect any activities.
Even though he was reluctant to give up the food in his hand, Lu Baian finally ate it all after hesitating for a long time.
"Don't worry, I'll go find other partners after we get back to the market," Lu Baian said to Chang Ruijia, "but during this period..."
"I'll stay here, at least for the time being," Chang Ruijia noticed his gaze and tilted her head. "But if you guys take too long to discuss, I can't guarantee it."
At least during this period when the underwater monster has not appeared again, Chang Ruijia has no plans to leave the crowd and live alone.
"Of course," Lu Baian nodded affirmatively. "Even if there's really no way to convince others, we still have a deal between us. I definitely won't waste so much time on you."
It seemed like there was something else going on. Lu Baian was chatting with Chang Ruijia, but his expression suddenly changed the next moment and he hurried to deal with other things.
However, before Lu Baian left, he silently brought another deeper involvement to Chang Ruijia, which also deepened her confidence in this gathering place.
Looking at the figure disappearing in the crowd again, but the voice still ringing clearly in her ears, Chang Ruijia scratched her ears a little uncomfortably.
"This is the latest new feature of my mobile phone float after several upgrades. Compared to the previous face-to-face communication, it can now communicate with fixed people over long distances, just like making a phone call."
"That's pretty good," Chang Ruijia nodded.
This is simply a powerful tool for instant communication in this vast world.
No wonder Chang Ruijia always felt that whether it was the people who exchanged things at the beginning or the stalls managed by the market, they all seemed to have the ability to see and hear from afar. Even if she did not delay for a second on the road, those people seemed to have been prepared early and there was no time to pass on the message.
It turns out that such a convenient method was used.
"...If everything goes well later, I'll add you to the manager communication group I lead, so we can communicate more promptly if anything happens."
"You haven't even started planning for the future yet?" Chang Ruijia chuckled and slowly walked back to the settlement area.
"That's for sure," Lu Baian said seriously, "On this sea, if you don't think carefully about everything, you won't survive for very long."
"Then I wish you good luck!"
I don’t know how Lu Baian discussed with others. When Chang Ruijia walked in the market for the next two days, she always found someone looking at her with inquiring eyes, but when she looked in the direction of their gaze, she couldn’t see the other person.
She didn't know how long the gazes followed her back and forth. Later, when Chang Ruijia walked in the market, she had become accustomed to the gazes that followed her like a shadow.
Anyway, they won't waste any money. Since they are curious about her appearance, let them observe slowly.
This continued until the evening of the fifth day, when Lu Baian finally came to the door again.
"Where are you?"
Chang Ruijia was chatting with her neighbor Xiaoqu in the trading area when a sudden sound came from her ear and almost scared her to death.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Chang Ruijia's excited expression, Xiao Qu looked around curiously and asked in some confusion.
Judging from her reaction, she was obviously frightened by something, but there was nothing around her that could scare people except the usual noisy crowd.
Chang Ruijia took a deep breath and didn't say anything to Xiaoqu. She just shook her head and said, "It's okay. I just suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't done yet. I may have to go back and fix it now."
"Oh," Xiao Qu thought Chang Ruijia was talking about the things in the settlement area, and said quickly, "Then go quickly, don't waste any more time."
There was no other sound in her ears, and Chang Ruijia didn't know whether Lu Baian heard what he had just said. However, even if she wanted to meet, she couldn't do it directly in the trading area. She still needed to find a place where there were not many people.
As she paddled out of the trading area, Chang Ruijia muttered to herself, "My current location is a bit inconvenient, so let's go to the place you took me last time."
"good."
After a simple response, Chang Ruijia didn't hear any other replies from Lu Baian.
Chang Ruijia was originally speculating whether the things they talked about before had any results, but now she doesn't dare to confirm it easily.
According to memory, they rowed towards the agreed place. From a long distance away, Chang Ruijia saw a figure on the sea, which was floating on a hard floating object.
"Is there finally a result?" As Chang Ruijia approached, the sound of flowing water gradually became clearer. The lying figure finally sat up and listened to her jokingly.
"I'm sorry, it did take a long time." Lu Baian said with a tired look on his face.
Chang Ruijia hadn't noticed the voice before, but now that they were communicating face to face, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why is your voice still hoarse?"
"It's a little troublesome to handle this, and it took up a bit of time and energy," Lu Baian said with an expression that was difficult to describe. "But don't worry, I've already discussed the conditions you proposed with others."
"Oh, okay," Chang Ruijia looked at Lu Baian and said, "If it's just a small matter, just tell me directly over the phone. Why don't you take a rest now that you have the time?"
"There are still things I need to explain to you in person," Lu Baian wiped his face, took out the pocket that Chang Ruijia left with him last time, and threw it back to her.
"What are these?" Chang Ruijia took it with some confusion. She really couldn't understand why something needed to be handed over in person. But when she opened her pocket and saw what appeared inside, she finally understood. "Cellphone???"
"Yes, this is what we managed to exchange from someone before," Lu Baian nodded, and fumbled for one from his large mobile phone. "Even though some people's floating objects are the same, the functions don't overlap much. This is another possible ability of mobile phone floating objects."
Giving birth? Chang Ruijia touched the small and exquisite mobile phone in her hand curiously, thinking with some disbelief.
"Although it doesn't look like a smartphone, it has a function that we need the most," Lu Baian couldn't help but demonstrate it when he saw Chang Ruijia's incredulous look.
I didn't see him tapping on his phone, but soon the screen of the phone in Chang Ruijia's hand flashed.
When I clicked on it, I saw that there was only one page on the entire screen with a few big words at the top.
【A loving family (6)】
"What is this?" Looking at these familiar words, Chang Ruijia suddenly had a feeling of traveling back to the time before she appeared on the sea. Isn't this the name of the family group from before?
"Well, this is a group of us market managers, but now you have joined." Lu Baian coughed dryly, looked up at the sky and said to Chang Ruijia.
In fact, when Lu Baian introduced it, Chang Ruijia had already seen the conversations of other people in the group.
"Are you coming? Are you coming?"
"Oh, why are you in such a hurry? It's not like he'll run away."
"That's right, haven't you secretly looked at that young lady several times during this period? Why are you still like this now?"
"How can that be the same? I only watched her from a distance a few times. I've never actually chatted with her. Of course I was nervous about it being my first time communicating like this."
“…”
Looking at the group of people in the group chat who didn't look like the people who had harshly rejected him a few days ago, Lu Baian almost felt embarrassed to stay in front of Chang Ruijia.
"Quite lively, huh?" Chang Ruijia said to Lu Baian hesitantly.
However, since others were so eager to greet her, Chang Ruijia touched the keyboard on her mobile phone somewhat unfamiliarly and slowly typed in "A Loving Family".
"Hello everyone."
"Wow wow wow wow wow, hello, little sister!"
"A big round of applause to welcome the young lady!"
"Hello."
“Sprinkle flowers!”
Looking at the not-at-all-serious atmosphere in the group, Lu Baian couldn't bear to watch these people's behavior. He quietly explained to Chang Ruijia, "Actually, they still have brains on weekdays. They just seem a little crazy on their phones."
