“She isn’t.” Jiang Shuyin didn’t continue to explain.
Xingchen could guess that Alvin's departure didn't even provide enough time to lay eggs.
But the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and he couldn't wait to shove Shui Ning in front of Alvin so he could see her.
He recalled Alvin saying that he wouldn't see what the baby would look like after hatching, and his deep blue eyes were filled with regret.
Suddenly I felt my chest pounding really fast.
——————
In just an hour, Xingchen changed into her pajamas and left the community. If the car hadn't been driving fast, Jiang Shuyin would have heard the gossiping behind her again.
The navigation destination is set at the southernmost coastline, where driving on land is faster than driving on water.
If necessary, Jiang Shuyin may rent a boat to go there.
Xingchen kept urging her on the way, "Can you go any faster? When I left, the High Priest said it would take at most thirty days, and that's all gone now..."
He flipped his fingers, bent two, then put one back, and finally held both hands up in front of her: "I've already spent 17 days! Can we get there in ten days? God help us get there safely..."
Jiang Shuyin heard him muttering to himself, so she picked up her earphones and plugged the other ear canal.
I slowly applied pressure with my feet, and the needle on the instrument panel gradually moved up to 140, then rose to 150, which was already the fastest speed on the mountain road.
Something bad is about to happen.
As we drove away from Hunan Province and the neighboring province, the roads gradually became flatter and wider, and the mountains were no longer so continuous.
With few cars on the road at night, Jiang Shuyin sped up to her top speed. She watched the green belt beside the road move quickly in her field of vision, gradually turning into a green ribbon. Everything around her seemed to be receding in response to her progress. The feeling... was hard to describe clearly with words like exciting, exhilarating, or tense.
Driving non-stop all the way to the eastern coast, Jiang Shuyin stopped in this small county town to replenish her supplies at the only convenience store. There wasn't a speck of dust on the counter, so it must have just opened recently.
When she went to pay the bill, she asked the owner, "Where can I rent a boat? One that can travel around the Pacific Ocean?"
The boss looked up and sized her up: "What are you going to do? There are several types. The more expensive one is the new type of turtle-shell double-resistant ship, so you don't have to worry about it capsizing. The cheaper ones are ordinary cruise ships. It depends on what price you want."
People who live near mountains rely on the mountains for sustenance, and those who live near the sea rely on the sea for sustenance. Since they can no longer make a living by fishing and aquaculture, they have found another way and entered the manufacturing industry. Just then, the equipment manufacturing industry in Hangzhou was booming, so some people who had left the county returned and devoted themselves to building a giant tortoise-shell ship. When it was sailing, it successfully withstood an attack by a group of killer whales and officially stepped into the spotlight.
After everyone tried it, they all thought it was good, and that's how the small county became famous. This store was opened after everyone applied to the higher authorities for a long time. Otherwise, if you wanted to buy something, you would have to go to the city, which would be a lot of trouble and a long drive.
Jiang Shuyin pondered, "Let's check the price first. I plan to rent it for a month."
The owner was a local, and seeing that she spoke with an out-of-town accent and started asking about prices, he figured the deal was almost done, so he took the price list from under the counter.
"The prices are clearly marked. Even if it's your own uncle, you'll only get a few points off. Take a look."
Jiang Shuyin took it and looked at it.
Looking up, you see the most expensive turtle-shell ship, complete with an illustration; renting it for a day costs 300 mission points.
Scroll to the very end, and you'll find the cheapest boat, which costs 3 mission points per day.
Jiang Shuyin took a fancy to a medium-sized cruise ship, which was only priced at 200 mission points: "Why isn't the number of days listed?"
The owner glanced at it and said, "The cruise ship only sells tickets. It's best to book your round trip here, no matter which station you get off at. If you want to buy tickets on the spot, you'll have to wait in line."
"I'm not sure about the itinerary, so I'll buy two tickets for a round-the-Pacific cruise first." She glanced at the flight path, which was very close to the place marked by the starfall.
The boss swiped her payment code and scanned 400 task points: "The two nearest trips are one at 6 pm today and the other at 8 am tomorrow. I suggest choosing tonight's trip so you can see the sunrise over the sea."
Jiang Shuyin nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
The boss fiddled with his phone for a bit and handed her the printed ticket: "The cabins are next to each other. There are a lot of adventurers going out to sea this time, so it's going to be quite noisy."
"Okay, thank you." Jiang Shuyin carried a large bag full of supplies back to her car and parked it in the free parking lot for consumers.
Heimei, ICE, and Shuining got carsick on the way and were taken to a safe house by her. Now that there are many people around, she can't let the children out again, so she took Xingchen to check tickets and board the ship in advance.
After finding her cabin, Jiang Shuyin looked around the small room. When she boarded the ship, the ticket inspector told her, "There are only inside cabins left. You can choose two adjacent ones. If there are any problems, please contact the crew for assistance."
As Jiang Shuyin walked along, everyone's eyes were drawn to her bracelet, and when they looked up at her again, their smiles were more respectful.
Sure enough, these days, strength is king. If you don't have some skills, people won't even give you a second glance, just like how the wealthy used to like to buy luxury watches to wear on their wrists.
Inside cabins are the most economical rooms on the cruise ship, but the environment is still quite elegant and comfortable, with a desk, TV, and private bathroom. In addition, there are public audio-visual systems, games and other entertainment facilities, gyms and so on outside the cabin.
Jiang Shuyin checked the room for surveillance equipment. After searching twice without success, she let the children out of the safe house to get some fresh air. Although the inner cabin had no windows, it had an air circulation system.
Xingchen, who was over there doing something, came over and knocked on her door.
Jiang Shu stood in the doorway, blocking the view: "..."
Xingchen looked at him with a puzzled expression: "I want to go in."
"No, you're a man."
"I haven't differentiated yet."
"That won't work either, let's just wash up and go to bed."
Xingchen stood at the door and confronted her for a long time, but Jiang Shuyin did not waver in the slightest.
"Actually, I wanted to play with Shui Ning for a while."
Jiang Shuyi smiled and said, "Then that's even more impossible. Goodbye."
The door slammed shut, and Xingchen slumped her shoulders, wandering aimlessly down the corridor. She followed the scent of the sea to the deck, leaned on the railing, and watched the waves crashing against the cruise ship below.
Six more days, Alvin.
