Chapter 54 Chapter 54 The person emerging from the sea...
"Hey, hey, hey? Which one is which?"
"Isn't she the girl with the biggest and most comfortable bed over there? So you really haven't come to see her at all these past two days?"
The area that carries out important trading functions is already bustling with people, and with the addition of those who have obtained temporary stay qualifications, it is always bustling with people during the day.
However, today there are always some sneaky people who are almost holding two branches in front of themselves to cover their presence, secretly glancing in a certain direction.
"Ugh!" The questioned boy couldn't help but glance sideways at his companions. "Do you think I'm lazy like you guys? Who's the one running around all day? Who's the one constantly trying to find new people to join? Do I have the time like you guys do?"
He was furious when he talked about this.
Isn't it just that his float is more mobile? They are all running around in this trading area, and they can see everything that is going on first, so he is the only one left to eat second-hand melons.
In such a big trading area, he is the only poor guy left.
"Ah, my," his companion said, trying to appease the boy as he began to protest. "It's like the capable get more work! The point is, none of us are as capable as you."
"Humph, I'll find someone to change jobs sooner or later!" The boy glanced in Chang Ruijia's direction again, "I think this young lady is nice, and she looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. Otherwise..."
"Heh," his companion sneered at the boy's wishful thinking, even a bit eager to act. "How dare you dream! Such a thick golden thigh, and it took Lu Baian so much effort to get it. If anything happens to it after it's released, will you be responsible?"
“Ah, this…”
The boy hesitantly turned around and looked at the things behind him. This was the most abundant supply he had ever had. If he lost his golden thigh, he would be the first to cry!
"Forget it. Then you can't switch with me..." The boy was unconvinced and wanted to say something else, but was interrupted.
"So do you want to handle family matters on Zhang Rui's behalf? Or do you want to organize information on Lu Baian's behalf and be annoyed by all the confusing news? Or..."
"Okay, okay," the boy quickly interrupted his companion's expressionless example. "Forget it. Your jobs are getting more tedious than the last. I'll stick to my post and go for a walk!"
Not knowing what was going on not far away from her, Chang Ruijia was serving customers who were exchanging supplies with a smile on her face.
However, feeling the occasional hidden gazes on her, Chang Ruijia's smile deepened.
Look, look, although I don’t know how Zhang Rui conveyed it to them, some misunderstandings are better the deeper they are.
However, Xiaoqu, who had become familiar with Chang Ruijia in the past few days, saw her in the trading area as usual today, with a smile on her face that was different from her usual one.
The fact that her life hadn't changed much made her hesitate for a moment, but she still spoke quietly when there were not many people around.
"Sister Ruijia, what's on your mind today?..."
However, as Xiaoqu was talking, she felt like she couldn't go on. Looking at the "kind" smile on her face, she always felt like a cool breeze was blowing past her.
"It's okay," Chang Ruijia moved the corner of her mouth imperceptibly, "The customer is God. I just want to attract more business."
"Haha, that's really good."
Xiaoqu touched the hairs standing up on his body and shivered unconsciously. It was too scary.
…
Life after joining the market didn't have too many twists and turns, and Chang Ruijia gradually let go. She even felt like she was living the same routine life as when she was working.
Apart from the ordinary days when she would rush straight to the trading area to work and punch in after leaving the accommodation area, she would occasionally check the idle chats of other people in the mobile group chat Lu Baian gave her.
The more Chang Ruijia observed other people's online life in the group, the deeper her understanding of the composition of the key members of the entire market became.
Besides Lu Baian and Zhang Rui, whom she knew now, there were at least three other people in the group she hadn't met yet. However, it wasn't ruled out that they had met in the trading area but hadn't said hello.
For example, there is a guy named Shifang here. Judging from how he chats in the group, he should have been sent out to do exploration work on the sea.
In just one week since she joined, Shifang had already posted information about at least three markets in the group.
Chang Ruijia had always been puzzled about how others could communicate with more people, and this was perfectly solved through this form of exploration.
In addition, Chang Ruijia also saw a man named Yu Jianyi and a man named Zhong Yuan.
However, they didn't talk much about what they were doing in the group, so our impression of them was limited to a name and a simple impression.
During this period, Chang Ruijia has been implementing her own ideas.
Although the other people had already been surrounded by the goods she exchanged, the impression she left in the group still remained on the "Hello" she greeted everyone at the beginning.
This state of affairs really satisfied her. She wouldn't interfere too much and make others have opinions about her as a newcomer, nor would she miss the latest sources of information in the entire market. Her life was simply perfect.
But sometimes, the twists and turns of life are not something you can completely put behind you just because you want to avoid them.
One morning, Chang Ruijia had just followed the crowd out of the living area. Before she had time to exchange supplies with Zhang Rui, she received an urgent message from Lu Baian.
[Lu Baian: Where are you now? It's urgent.]
The moment she saw the message, Chang Ruijia suddenly had a feeling that "it's finally here".
During this period of time in the market, although life was simple and ordinary, it always made people feel uneasy. Now, seeing the news about Lu Baian, it seemed as if they had suddenly returned to their normal life.
[Chang Ruijia: I'm on my way to the trading area. Is it something important? Why don't we meet at the same place as last time?]
[Lu Baian: It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Zhang Rui. Let's meet in her trading area.]
Chang Ruijia nodded indifferently. Since what Lu Baian wanted to say was not so secretive, she didn't mind hearing such news in the trading area.
However, after Chang Ruijia saw Lu Baian and Zhang Rui, and repeatedly confirmed the message he sent, she realized that this was not unimportant news at all, it was extremely important!
[Temporary Session (3)]
[Lu Baian: Shifang is seriously injured and is on his way back.]
Zhang Rui: What's going on? Why did something happen to Shifang? Where is he now? How is his injury? Do you want me to pick him up now?
[Chang Ruijia: What happened?]
The moment Zhang Rui saw Lu Baian's message, he almost shouted out loud, but considering that there were many people coming and going around, he barely held back and asked directly in the temporarily opened conversation.
As for Chang Ruijia, if she remembered correctly, not long after she had established a relationship with the core members of this market, they had exchanged a pair of paddle boards from her at a high price.
If I remember correctly, it was prepared for this person who often carries out field exploration missions.
She was very familiar with the products produced in the Kan Yidao system mall. Once she encountered any danger, the speed that the paddle board could exert would be absolutely unexpected. Even if the people on the floating object on the opposite side used some long-range means, they should not be seriously injured if they observed in time, right?
Seeing Zhang Rui's anxious expression as if he wanted to rush out to find the stone archway immediately, Lu Baian hurried to comfort him.
[Lu Baian: Don't worry. When I received his message, I had already arranged for a large amount of emergency medical supplies, and I also arranged for some quick people to go and meet him.]
After seeing the news about Lu Baian, Zhang Rui finally relaxed a little. He just arranged for someone to pick him up. At least he didn't leave the person behind on the road.
After calming down, Zhang Rui was full of confusion about the sudden unexpected situation. How could such a situation happen?
[Zhang Rui: How could something like this happen to Shifang? He was the most vigilant of us, and with the speed-up paddle we prepared for him, there's no way something like this could have happened.]
[Chang Ruijia: What happened on the sea again?]
Seeing Zhang Rui gradually calming down, Chang Ruijia asked again, if nothing unexpected happened, Lu Baian would not have gathered them here so early in the morning.
As Chang Ruijia expected, when Lu Baian saw the information he asked, he nodded with a gloomy expression and said in the group chat.
Lu Baian: Shifang was about to enter a new market when the incident occurred. He had observed the market and was about to enter cautiously, but unexpectedly, two people emerged from the sea. If he hadn't had the paddle in hand and instantly accelerated, he might not have seen the people from Shifang by now.
[Zhang Rui: Under the sea? Could it be that those monsters are back? But don't they usually attack people on floating objects? Wait... two "people" coming out?!]
[Chang Ruijia: Is there someone underwater? There's no floating debris around. How could someone get hurt without even being on guard? Could some unknown item have appeared? Have you thoroughly investigated the situation?]
The news Lu Baian announced in the group shocked both of them.
As we all know, all those who can still live on the sea now cannot do without the floating objects they live on.
Some people had tried to leave before, but even if they noticed something was wrong and returned quickly, by the time they left the floating objects, they were completely unable to reverse the trend of "dissipation".
But now someone can actually emerge from under the sea!
How could Chang Ruijia and Zhang Rui not be shocked when they heard such news for the first time?
[Lu Baian: Shifang is absolutely certain, those are two people! And besides the intact market, there's no sign of any floating objects around, otherwise Shifang wouldn't have been caught off guard by someone suddenly appearing from beneath the surface.]
Lu Baian pinched his brows and expressed helplessness about the sudden occurrence of this situation.
However, before Chang Ruijia and Zhang Rui could figure out anything, he suddenly asked another question.
[Lu Baian: How many people have you devoured?]
