Chapter 57 The color of your candlelight jellyfish outfit is really beautiful.
Mermaids are completely unsuspecting of their own kind, so Soraya happily agreed. This way, she could fulfill her friend's wish, complete the task assigned by the king, and even have fun without any problems. It was a win-win-win situation!
Soraya immediately gave all 120 pearls she had brought to Shen Dixin. "Dixin, you take these first. These are the highest amount of pearls that can be approved!"
"It will probably take another month before we can collect them. The clan keeps records of how many pearls have been released, and they usually don't give out too many, in case some mermaids get tricked. The Heart of the Ocean... give it to me when you have enough."
She shoved the bag directly into Shen Dixing's hands, afraid that she would feel guilty, and said, "Anyway, carrying so many pearls is exhausting for me, so you can keep it."
Looking at the large bag of pearls, Chen Dixin's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and she quickly calculated their value in her mind.
Jewelry can be bought back by dwarves for 300 points. Gemstones like pearls, which are valued for their condition and have a short shelf life, have varying prices. Those with special markings can fetch over 300 points, with an average price of around 250 points.
Subtracting the pearls paid to the monster hunters... at least 20,000 points!
Shen Dixin had never fought such a rich battle before. She had accumulated the 10,000 points she used to buy five green accessories in her previous life over the course of half a year.
Even though the price of higher-tier accessories will double, 20,000 points is enough to buy two transitional purple accessories or directly get a near-perfect purple accessory, which will last for a long time.
The Heart of the Ocean is now available for purchase. One pearl can be exchanged for one polluted Heart of the Ocean. The drop rate of Heart of the Ocean is not low; one can usually drop every three or four waves of monsters. Many monster hunters have accumulated quite a few.
With the existence of critical hits, Dan Chen Di Xin herself had more than 20 of them, but only put more than 20 copies on the market, and they were sold out at an astonishing speed.
It has become commonplace for top-ranked players to collect these strange and seemingly useless items, and many monster hunters have sold them off, expressing their relief that they didn't.
Yaotai Yuchi: That was close! I was already standing in front of the wandering merchant, ready to clear out the trash. I thought two white coins for one Ocean Heart was quite a lot. Luckily, I didn't exchange it. Jewelry is much more cost-effective!
Tropic of Cancer: Even recycling yields a single pearl; who knows how much profit can be made!
Coating Machine: Seriously?! All the pearls are gone in just a few minutes?! Twenty pearls aren't enough to go around! I suggest the boss limit purchases next time. I suspect only two or three people actually managed to get any pearls; they might have bought them all!
Chen Dixin smiled and said, "You're right, it's pure profit. With an exclusive channel that no one else can replicate, who else would profit if not her? Limited purchases are a good idea, but it's a pity the system doesn't have that feature. It all depends on your speed."
After finishing these tasks, she turned to look at Soraya and asked curiously.
"Soraya, is your spatial dimension built-in?"
She had just noticed that the mermaid hadn't taken the item from a storage bag or similar pouch.
It seems everyone here has storage space. Shen Dixin really wants to get a space calculated by storage area from the mermaid.
"Yes, this is something we mermaids are born with, and it gradually expands as our strength grows. I already have enough to fill a wooden box!"
"Born that way! No wonder he's the king of the sea." Shen Dixin felt a little regretful, but then he heard good news.
“Speaking of which… your necklace should be able to hold things. In our lifetime, we can condense space into a third eye and give it to others, which is the highest level of recognition.”
Soraya lightly touched her neck, and Chen Dixin picked up the necklace, as if looking at Lotus Moonbeam from afar.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open the space inside. Soraya deduced that it was because her soul strength was insufficient.
"Well, just try to get stronger, you guys will definitely have a way. Di Xin's soul is much stronger than the one next door."
So... it must be due to physical condition? I'll try again after calming my mind and increasing my average attribute points.
Even after the pearl was given away, the mermaid showed no intention of leaving. She curiously looked around the ship and even squatted down to tease the seemingly calm Zhu Sha.
After comprehending the power of pressure, Zhu Sha was finally able to maintain a semblance of dignity in front of the mermaid.
"Do you want to stay here and have some fun?" Shen Dixin asked.
Soraya nodded mischievously, having been waiting for those words; she didn't want to go back so soon.
"Oh, right." The little mermaid touched her brow and miraculously produced a pine cone, exactly the same as the one hanging around her neck.
"Dixin, this is for you. Thank you for helping me find my pine cone! It's a very important thing."
Pine trees don't grow on any of the islands here; pine cones are only found on underwater ruins.
Because of its material, it won't decay for a long time and is the favorite accessory of the little mermaids in the tribe. Soraya only received it as a birthday gift from her sister.
【Item Name: Pine Cone】
Item Quality: Blue
[Item Description: A seed that has been dormant in the soil for a long time; she really searched for it for a long time.]
Chen Dixin solemnly accepted the pine cone, tied it with a thread, and fastened it around his waist.
Although she was supposed to stay and have fun, Soraya accompanied Chen Dixin to collect the net, retrieve supplies, reply to messages, and organize the inventory... After such a whole process, she was already dizzy and sleepy before long.
"Thump—" Seeing her bump into the wooden house again, Shen Dixin couldn't help but laugh out loud. She asked her to teach Zhu Sha, intending to let Zhu Sha openly learn the Mermaid Aura.
As expected, Soraya noticed without batting an eye and, knowing her concerns, simply said, "You're one of us mermaids, why can't your pet use the aura of a mermaid?"
"Your candle jellyfish are so beautiful! I keep several at home, and they're very well-behaved," Soraya praised, making no mention of how she caught candle jellyfish for lighting.
...
[The server merge will officially begin in ten minutes. Players have been matched into channel 7 of region 9115. Please prepare accordingly.]
Soraya's sleepiness vanished completely, and she seemed to sense something. "I have to go back to the sea first."
"Can you hear the system announcement?" Shen Dixin asked, since the one-eyed captain had said that the white-faced man couldn't hear it.
“What is that? I only felt oppression and palpitations. The king said that in this situation, one should stay away from the ‘cursed person’.”
The merfolk believed that the player carried a curse that attracted disaster. Soraya was embarrassed to say such things to his face and quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to play somewhere else first. Dixin, is there anything you want? I can help you find it."
Shen Dixin waved goodbye and casually said, "If you can see what's on the island, please help me find a nearby island with wild beasts, those big animals."
Soraya's figure disappeared into the water. After calming down, I realized belatedly that the mermaids couldn't trigger the favorability prompts.
She could tell that Soraya wasn't a scheming mermaid. She liked Shen Dixin very much. As a mermaid at the top of the food chain who looked down on land creatures, there was no need for her to pretend to like her.
Shen Dixin had never met a mermaid in her previous life, and she didn't know if it had always been like this, so she kept it to herself.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and countless beams of light fell onto the sea.
[Channels have been merged; Channel 9 for Region 12589 will remain.]
Chen Dixin clicked into the chat channel and saw that the number of online users was 10,962, seemingly restoring the liveliness of when the server first opened.
Qiuyege: Why does this channel in our merged server look so familiar? Isn't it the one that got the survival reward in the broadcast just now?
Forever and Ever: Has anyone seen Guan Xiangtao from XX District, XX City? I am her father. Please contact me if you have any information.
King of Salted Fish: I just saw a beam of light very close to me. If I go in that direction, will I encounter other players at sea?
During this time, I also received a message from Qimu.
Qi Mu: Sister Chen, there are now five personal shops.
