Chapter 149 The Book of Greed (1/2)



Gu Xi picked up a fish scale and examined it closely.

The scales of the mullet are as large as gold coins, and although as thin as cicada wings, they are incredibly resilient and not easily damaged. Under the shark's light, these scales shimmer with a golden glow, appearing dazzlingly bright.

She collected all the scales; there were over a thousand of them.

After tidying up the items on the floor, Gu Xi returned indoors. Based on her previous memory, she used her mental power to enter the special space of the invitation once again.

Standing firmly in place, Gu Xi looked around and, after confirming that nothing had changed, continued walking towards the light screen.

Gu Xi went to the light screen and began searching for information about the "Tuntun Fish". However, after searching for a while, she did not find any useful information.

If this method doesn't work, then let's try another. So Gu Xi took out a scale from a Tun Tun fish from his backpack and then found the option to submit an item for auction on the main interface of the light screen.

In addition to displaying the auction items and the auction time, the light screen also provides services for the sellers.

Although Gu Xi had glimpsed this feature before, she left before she even had a chance to learn how to use it.

Nowadays, this function can be used for authentication.

Gu Xi entered the "Submit Auction Item" function, and then she heard a sound of stones colliding.

She looked toward the source of the sound, and a stone platform slowly rose up a meter to her right.

Although the platform looks very ordinary, what's extraordinary is the spiritual energy that surrounds it.

Being able to operate and manipulate space—with a little thought, one can understand that this must also be a unique skill of the Sea Ghost.

Gu Xi approached cautiously, carefully observing her surroundings.

When she arrived in front of the stone platform, suddenly the transparent stones around the space emitted a focused light and all gathered towards the stone.

Immediately afterwards, at the center of these spotlights, a virtual book-like object appeared, its pages turning rapidly with a continuous rustling sound, as if it would never end.

This is reality, not a game, so Gu Xi didn't receive any hints. She could only try things out step by step.

After waiting for about a minute, the book's pages still hadn't stopped turning. Just as Gu Xi was feeling bewildered, the book suddenly slammed shut, and a large question mark appeared on the cover.

Gu Xi was puzzled, so she could only try to communicate with the book using her mental power.

The moment her mental energy touched the book, she understood its meaning.

Books: You said you were going to sell something! Where's your stuff?!

Books: It's tiring for me to flip through books, you know. Hurry up and put the items you want to auction on the books!

Books: Seriously? It's been so long without any action. Do you not know how to operate it?

Books: Tsk tsk, I already told the Sea Ghosts to make some explanations, but they still wouldn't listen. It's so annoying!

...Gu Xi continued to use her mental energy to listen to the strange book rambling on and on, even to the point of cursing. Although it was cursing the sea ghost, why did she feel like she was being mocked as well?

Furthermore, this book can even insult the sea ghost like that—what exactly is it? Is it some kind of deep-sea creature, the kind that does business with the sea ghost?

Gu Xi's thoughts were wandering, and just as she was about to continue, she heard the book urging her to hurry up again, so she quickly pulled her thoughts back.

She placed a fish scale from a tuna on the stone platform. As soon as she let go, she saw the fish scale float up and down on the stone platform.
