Chapter 229 Ellie's Gift
Before anyone could react, Ellie picked out several colorful seashell bags from the box.
She packed all of these in last night, intending to give them to Sister Gu and the others today.
The remaining shell bags, pearls, and other items are part of her personal collection. Of course, these are only a small part; her private vault contains much more than just these.
However, these are all she has on her body right now. Since her father needs them, he can exchange them for her. She just saw that.
The Emperor took Uncle Muyan's silk, which almost made Uncle Muyan cry.
Her treasures may not be as valuable as the mermaid gauze, but they are still quite good and should be able to be exchanged for some of those interdimensional coins.
Holding the seashell-shaped bags, she approached Gu Xinyan and the others, then placed the handful of bags in Gu Xinyan's hands and said:
"Sister Gu, this is a gift from Ellie to you. Thank you for treating Ellie to dinner yesterday and for giving her so many snacks."
Ellie specially picked these out for you last night. She hopes you like them. Ellie also put some pretty pearls in each seashell bag.
Gu Xinyan, who had been stuffed full of seashells into his arms, looked at the brightly colored little seashells in his arms. Were these all seashell bags?
It's unbelievable that something so tiny could grow so big.
However, Gu Xinyan did not refuse Ellie's return gift. After all, the little girl's expectant expression meant that if she refused again, she might burst into tears on the spot.
So she smiled and nodded, then said to the little mermaid Ellie in front of her:
"Thank you so much, Ellie. We all love your gift."
Ellie was very happy to hear this. As long as Sister Gu and the others accepted the gift she gave, that was good enough.
So she happily returned to her elderly father's side, and like a little adult, pointed to the box in his arms and continued:
"Father, these are all treasures that Ellie collected in the past. Ellie just saw you exchanging for some kind of dimensional currency. These should be enough to exchange for quite a few. Ellie still has some in her private treasury, so please exchange them all for Father!"
Mermaid King Selipo: "
Okay! He was wondering why his little daughter suddenly brought out such a small box; it turned out it was for her old father!
Waaaaah! My little girl is so thoughtful, she already knows how to think of him. I'm so touched.
He had just looked at the contents of the small box; they were all precious treasures.
He remembered those colorful pearls; it took him several years to produce just one. They were the ones he gave to his little daughter.
And those coral fragments that glowed faintly, each one a different color, were not ordinary fragments, but rare sights on the continent of Saint Luo.
Although it wasn't particularly useful to the sea people, it was an invaluable treasure to the human race.
After all, these coral fragments are made from the finest corals that only exist in the most hidden places in the deep sea.
On top of those fine corals, magical fragments will gather. Don't be fooled by their small size; the formation of each fragment is estimated to take hundreds of years.
These coral fragments are considered top-tier tonics by human mages, as each piece possesses powerful magical fluctuations.
For a mage, advancing several ranks is possible, but these coral fragments are only found in the deep sea, and they can't be encountered every time.
After all, these top-quality corals have lived for thousands of years. Although they have no fighting power, their ability to hide is first-rate, so finding them is not so easy.
The item in his little girl's box was something he had encountered by chance when he went to the deep sea to hunt bluefish beasts. He thought it was beautiful and brought it back as a gift for his little girl.
Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, his little girl gave it to him again. He felt a warm glow in his heart. His little girl must have seen the expression on Mu Yan's face just now.
Mermaid King Selipo couldn't help but gently rub Ellie's little head and said with a smile:
"You little rascal, if you give them all to your father, then there won't be any left! You can't secretly cry anymore, okay?"
Hearing this, Ellie's cheeks flushed red. She gently shook her father's arm and said in a soft, sweet voice:
"Ellie won't cry. She doesn't like these things anymore. She'll give them all to Father to exchange for those dimensional coins."
This way we can buy some things from Sister Gu's place for our sea tribe to take back. Later, when we get back, Ellie will give everything from the private treasury to Father."
The Mermaid King was amused by his daughter's thoughtful words, but he did not refuse. After all, he knew his little girl's temper, and if he really refused, she might ignore him for a long time.
In any case, these are just pretty decorations for the merfolk. The little girl probably keeps them all in her private treasury.
So he stopped thinking about it and, holding the box of jewelry, went back to the exchange machine.
Fortunately, the box in his hand wasn't very big, and he was too lazy to take them out one by one, so he simply put the whole small box into the tray of the exchange device.
The moment he put it in, the box began to shrink rapidly until it was the size of a palm, and then the familiar scene appeared again.
[10 Magic Coral Fragments can be exchanged for 50,000 Trading Coins.]
Several rainbow pearls can be exchanged for 5000 trading coins.
Three seashell bags can be exchanged for 3000 trading coins.
A set of pearl jewelry can be exchanged for 1500 trading coins.
Watching the numbers scroll across the exchange screen and the rapidly increasing dimensional coins on his dimensional card, the Mermaid King felt a surge of joy.
Now he can buy quite a lot of things; otherwise, with the original amount, he wouldn't have been able to buy everything he wanted.
After exchanging his items, the Mermaid King was just about to take his little daughter and Mu Yan on a big shopping spree.
After paddling some distance, he remembered that he hadn't asked the question he was about to ask, so he turned to Gu Xinyan and the others who were not far away and asked:
"By the way, Mr. Gu, I just saw that you sell medicines here. I wonder how effective they are?"
Magical potions from the human race in Saint Lan City are quite expensive, and we sea creatures have to use special channels to buy them.
The price is significantly higher, and the final medicine may not be as effective as desired.
