The next morning, I groggily took the elevator down to have breakfast.
I went back and slept until three or four in the afternoon. When I opened my eyes and looked at the light outside, I thought another day had passed.
I struggled to get up and walk around, and there I ran into Fushit drinking coffee.
Seeing her completely drained, the other person couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're being too unrestrained! Want a cup of coffee to perk yourself up? You're leaving tomorrow, so while you still have some time, come with me out for a stroll. I want to bring some local specialties back for my family."
Jiang Shuyin glared at him.
"What were you doing this morning?" Fushit had gone to look for her that morning, knocked twice but no one answered, so he assumed that the big guy had come again. Combined with her listless expression, he had the wrong idea.
"Go to sleep." Jiang Shu yawned widely, her eyes welling up with tears.
Her head was still a little sore, but she wanted to bring something back for her family, as well as the reward she had promised the children on the ship. The pretty seashells were still a bit lacking.
"Let's go for a walk."
......
The market is held every four days, and it is set up around ten fixed cargo ships. If you get tired of shopping, you can sit down and rest at the shops on the cargo ships and have something to eat.
It's similar to a local market, where each household brings out their surplus items to trade, or they can barter.
No wonder she saw so many small boats with lights on last night; they were all setting up stalls here.
People visiting the market are all wearing life jackets. You have to pay a protection fee to enter; it costs 5 mission points per person, regardless of whether you are an adult or a child.
After you hand it in, they give you a sleeve that can be fixed in place; it comes in a variety of bright colors.
Of course, you can choose not to pay. If you get pushed into the water, the market security will not go in to rescue you.
Upon arrival, Jiang Shu raised an eyebrow at Fu Xite and asked, "Do you have money?"
The person behind Fushit took out a box and opened it. Inside were four rows of neatly arranged gems, just as dazzling as the one-yuan bracelets sold at the stalls outside the elementary school.
But this one from Fushit is definitely a genuine natural gemstone. If you look closely, you can see the difference in terms of transparency and refractive index.
"I hope they accept this," Fushit said with a wry smile.
In the past, this box of gems would have been enough to buy a resort island; now, I just hope someone still recognizes its value.
The line gradually shortened until it was their turn.
Jiang Shuyin glanced around and noticed that the people at the door were all superhumans, so she went over to them and said, "I don't need to pay."
The group of people were all stunned: Why?
Looking up again, I saw that the girl was pretty. Could she be Young Master Leng's girlfriend?
Judging from the tone of his voice, it seems so.
They all thought the same thing, so they didn't say anything and let her pass.
Then I realized something was wrong... I secretly slipped her a sleeve, but Jiang Shuyin didn't realize what that meant.
Since you've already taken it, you might as well bring it along.
When it was Fushit's turn, he said, "I brought bodyguards, I won't hand them over."
These people first examined his wrist, their gaze falling on the area covered by his sleeve, where there was a raised curve.
The ticket seller looked away and sneered, "Alright, go in then. Be careful when it gets crowded."
Later, others followed suit and also stopped paying attention.
With 5 task points, how much can you buy if you save them?
This thoroughly enraged the people who collected protection money and entrance fees, and they were determined to teach these people a lesson.
......
The market mainly relies on ten cargo ships to make money and collect rent from shops. The small fishing boats next to them cannot shake their position. Sometimes, when the wind is strong, the fishing boats next to them will be crushed into the sea by the cargo ships.
Tourists rarely go aboard the fishing boats, partly because it's unsafe, and partly because the goods on the boats are too ordinary. It's mainly for locals to go to the market, and there aren't many people there in the afternoon; some fishing boats have already packed up and closed.
Jiang Shuyin leaned on the railing, casually looking around. Most of the items sold on the small boat were algae-like plants, similar to seaweed. Because supply exceeded demand, they were clearly not selling well.
A fishing boat was in the distance, squeezed out on the periphery.
The old woman leaned silently against the edge of the boat. The man in front of her, presumably her son, was shouting loudly with a red face and a thick neck, but no one went to buy anything.
The old woman's gaze was always fixed on her son. The wrinkles on her eyelids made it difficult for her to open her eyes, but her eyes were full of heartache for her son.
"Jiang, come here quickly!" Fu Xite shouted from the other end.
Jiang Shuyin turned her head, and the old woman below also looked in the direction of the sound. She saw that the girl at the bow of the boat had turned her back, and her long, flowing hair slid in a perfect arc in the air.
"We sell tortoise shell vests for self-defense. They are bulletproof, waterproof, and fireproof. They come in soft and hard materials. If you like them, you can try them on on the spot. Just put them over your clothes."
If the boss were a woman, Jiang Shuyin would find it cute, but since he's a man, talking like that is just...
"Just try it on. People with fuller figures can't fit into it. Buying one is actually a matter of fate. Not everyone can find a suitable tortoise shell armor."
Jiang Shuyin: "...You're quite the smooth talker."
The boss smiled shyly, helped Fushit put on the tortoise shell, and straightened his collar as he did so.
Fushit, understanding the unspoken meaning, looked at his boss meaningfully: "Let's go with the hard one."
The shopkeeper happily packed it up for him and asked for a clear, round diamond: "My name is Lolo. Remember to check it when you get home. If you're not satisfied, you can return it within two days without giving a reason."
Fu Xite nodded, his smile bringing wrinkles to the corners of his eyes.
Jiang Shuyin: "..." Strange.
The two strolled around for a while longer, and Jiang Shu noticed a crystal core processing shop.
