"Over here, over here!"
Lingling pointed in one direction and occasionally jumped around.
"Oh? Oh! So this is the way!"
After Lingling pointed at him, Gu Xi seemed to know, yet also seemed not to know.
However, she obediently followed the direction Lingling pointed out and maneuvered the ice basket away.
The surrounding sea was pitch black, and occasionally, when they flew in the wrong direction, Lingling would promptly point them in the right direction. In this way, Gu Xi flew at a leisurely pace for quite a while before finally spotting the light emanating from the Future in the distance.
The moment she saw the light, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that this torturous journey of getting lost was finally over.
Octopuses and other small, chubby creatures waved their fish-like tentacles on the deck to greet them.
After the ice basket landed, the fish all swarmed around it.
After asking around and confirming that everyone was safe, they returned to their respective rooms.
Gu Xi and Ai Si were carrying a lot of money, so she dragged Ai Si straight to the warehouse and piled all their belongings into it.
Gold coins are easy to obtain; there are only 66,666 of them. Weapons are also easy to acquire; there are only a few hundred of them, so they don't take up much space. However, the large amount of materials in Ais's stomach are not so easy to obtain.
There were too many materials; her small warehouse simply couldn't hold them all.
I'm so worried!
Does this mean she not only needs to create a custom space for Yanlin, but also needs to create a warehouse space for herself?
After all, the supplies will only increase, and she can't just build warehouses of any size as many supplies she has.
Thinking about this gave Gu Xi a headache.
She checked the time; it was past midnight, and since she was already an S-rank, going without sleep for a few days wouldn't be a problem.
Since she had already missed bedtime, she decided to strike while the iron was hot and get everything done.
Gu Xi and Ai Siqing counted the weapons. There were 8 high-quality weapons and 120 ordinary weapons.
Although they were ordinary weapons, Gu Xi didn't think that any weapons that could be placed in that room were truly ordinary.
After some consideration, she temporarily took out five of them, intending to take them to an auction to check the market and prices.
As for those rare materials, they'll definitely be kept for personal use.
After casually picking up five weapons, Gu Xi, carrying a huge sum of 60,000 gold coins, opened the space of the ordinary auction.
She entered the space, booked the nearest auction, and then summoned the Book of Greed.
"Come on, I've got some stuff, I'm going to auction it off."
As Gu Xi spoke, he took out five weapon boxes and placed them on the table of the Book of Greed.
The Book of Greed noticed the difference in the box and quickly flew over.
Gu Xi saw it circle around the boxes several times, and almost pounce on them in the end.
She reacted quickly and grabbed the book that was trying to pounce on.
"Look if you want, but don't touch me! This box contains weapons! If you accidentally open it and something falls out and hits you, I won't be responsible."
The Book of Greed struggled for a moment before finally escaping from Gu Xi's grasp.
As if to refute Gu Xi's words, it slammed its fist onto the box.
"These things aren't that easy to break! But where did you get these things from?"
Gu Xi raised an eyebrow. "You know about these weapons?"
The Book of Greed shook itself as it answered, "I recognize the box, and I know the weapon; I've seen it in other books before."
"Oh?! Other books?"
Realizing he had misspoke, the Book of Greed immediately said, "That's all in the past! And all those books are gone! I'm the only one left."
Gu Xi tentatively continued, "Are those books like you, able to talk? And able to think?"
"Hmm~ Each book has its own consciousness, but I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up again, all the books were destroyed."
"Then what?"
"And then? Then I collaborated with the Sea Ghost and absorbed all those books. That's how I became who I am today!"
Gu Xi was speechless for a moment, and after a few breaths, she continued:
"However, now that you've absorbed the contents of those books, give me a price estimate!"
