Chapter 189 Old Stories, Service Area Information
This is a rough wood carving with a tiger's head on it.
Unfortunately, the tiger head wasn't carved very well; you had to look closely to tell the difference.
It also has a childish feel to it, like something a child would make.
Ji Xinghan held the wooden carving tightly, remaining silent for a long time.
Her face turned pale, which startled Jian Lin, who quickly asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Han? Is there something wrong with this thing?"
Ji Xinghan didn't speak. She stared at the wood carving carefully, touching it again and again, then turned it over and saw childish strokes on the back: "Happy birthday, sister—Xiaohan!"
These are the wood carvings she made!
Ji Xinghan was stunned for a long time before grabbing the dog and asking, "Where did you see this thing?"
The dog barked, "Woof woof, it hurts, I...I'm on a tree branch."
"On a tree branch?" Ji Xinghan was taken aback for a moment, then demanded sharply, "On which tree branch? Take me there now!"
The dog barked, "Where are you going? Woof! I'm right next to your car!"
It jumped off the RV, and Ji Xinghan quickly followed.
Not far from the road, just a dozen meters from her RV, there was a small tree with its branches and leaves wilted from the cold, and some snow had fallen.
The dog leaped up: "Woof woof, there it is!"
Ji Xinghan grasped the wooden carving and paused for a moment.
At such close range, she should be able to see anyone approaching.
Moreover, she clearly remembered that when she came back yesterday, the snow on the saplings was very thick, and there were no wood carvings hanging on them.
"Really?" She didn't believe it.
"Woof woof woof, so true so true!" the dog barked.
Ji Xinghan remained silent.
She touched the wood carving and examined it carefully.
This wood carving was a gift from her to her older sister, Ji Yunfei. When she was about five or six years old, she suddenly developed a liking for wood carving. After practicing for a month, she finally carved a tiger head that looked somewhat decent and gave it to Ji Yunfei. She gave the other one to her brother.
Ji Yunfei always wore this wooden carving on her body and never took it off.
Now, this wooden carving has suddenly appeared here, and my older brother and sister have mysteriously disappeared... Could it be...?
Ji Xinghan felt a surge of excitement.
Jian Lin kept looking at Ji Xinghan with concern. Ji Xinghan came to her senses, put the wooden carving back in her backpack, and turned around to say, "I'm fine, I just remembered something."
Her mind was in turmoil.
On the one hand, they couldn't believe it, and on the other hand, they were afraid that something had happened to Ji Yunfei.
She cautiously tried to message Ji Yunfei privately, but received the message: 【This player does not exist in this region!】
Ji Yunfei isn't in this district? Then where did this wood carving come from?
Ji Xinghan was completely baffled and decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Now, there are more important things to do. The wood carving should be put aside for now. What if Ji Wenqiao, who knows the details, is deliberately interfering with her?
Ji Xinghan messaged Lu Hanshang privately and, after confirming his safety, opened his personal panel and first shared his talent.
[Beep, Talent Sharing Activated!]
[You shared the skill "Unboxing Master" from user ID8800**** and received a triple bonus!]
[Unboxing Master: You'll receive double resources when you open the first three boxes today!]
[You'll receive six times the resources when you open the first six chests today, with a small chance of getting resource upgrades!]
This is the talent sharing after the upgrade.
The improvement is significant.
Ji Xinghan was a little disappointed. What could he possibly get from opening boxes now?
She had countless plastic and sheet metal items in her hands.
She used her talent to suppress Zhu Xiong's skills, but as for Ji Wenqiao, her skills couldn't be suppressed for the time being, probably because she used some kind of item.
Ji Xinghan decided to open a few boxes.
She wouldn't need to go out to look for the box; she'd have to intercept Ji Wenqiao later.
She shouted a few times in the chat channel and received 4 regular treasure chests and 2 treasure chests with keys.
Ji Xinghan collected six boxes in the chat channel, then went to the second carriage and, alone, used the Unboxing Master skill to open the boxes one by one.
She opened the regular treasure chest first:
[Open the treasure chest!]
[Get 20 Plastic and 10 Glass!]
[Open the treasure chest!]
[Received 6 cotton-padded jackets and 6 cotton-padded coats!]
[Open the treasure chest!]
[Received 12 bottles of mineral water and 12 loaves of bread!]
Ji Xinghan sighed. As expected, the supplies he found were ordinary, but there were plenty of them!
[Open the treasure chest!]
[Received 6 bags of flour and 12 bags of yeast!]
The flour comes in 10kg bags, six bags in total. Ji Xinghan waved his hand, released them, and stacked them in the warehouse.
Okay, now we don't have to worry about running out of flour.
Below is a treasure chest with a key, which she traded for her cotton-padded coat and jacket.
She opened the box with the key.
[Open the Silver Treasure Chest!]
[Receive 6 random bags of flower seeds!]
Flower seeds?
Ji Xinghan took them out and looked at them. Inside were rose seeds, wisteria seeds, lily of the valley seeds, and so on.
She glanced at it, then put it into a treasure chest and stored it in the warehouse.
We don't even have greenhouses now, we can't even afford vegetables, how can we grow flowers!
There was only one box left, and she opened it with the key.
[Open the Silver Treasure Chest!]
[Received: Ice and Snow Service Area Shop Information x1, Regular Shears x1!]
Huh?
This stuff seems to be something special!
[Information on Shops in the Ice and Snow Service Area: This is preliminary design information for the service area; its contents should not be taken as absolute truth!]
Preliminary design data?
Ji Xinghan took out a piece of paper.
The page displayed items such as general store, miscellaneous goods information, and miscellaneous goods prices; as well as clothing store, clothing information, and clothing prices.
The words were densely packed, and at the very bottom, she saw a line of text. The text was blurry and crooked, and it read: Temperature-Controlled Core Crystal, Natural Light Core Crystal... Rare Resources...
Ordinary people cannot purchase this... High-level VIP (crossed out)... No, it's a token...!
Ji Xinghan looked at it carefully.
She was initially delighted, thinking that the service area should have supplies such as temperature-controlled core crystals for sale. However, why were ordinary people prohibited from purchasing them?
Furthermore, why was the "Premium VIP" option crossed out?
Are you saying you're not going to sell these items? Do you need a premium VIP membership? Do you need a token?
What token? Is it like last time, requiring a token from an NPC?
She decided to keep an eye on it.
Having used up his chance to open the boxes, Ji Xinghan returned to the first compartment of the RV.
Now, we're just waiting for Lu Hanshang!
She found it strange; it had been half a day, and Lu Hanshang hadn't made a sound at all.
Suddenly, a private message came in.
Lu Hanshang: "Help! Help! I'm surrounded by Ji Wenqiao and a few others, but they saw how shocked I was and asked if I'd seen a really handsome guy. I just pointed at him randomly, and a group of them chased after him, while another group trapped me. Boss Ji, help me!"
Ji Xinghan immediately got out of the car: "Location?"
Lu Hanshang sent a location, which was not far away.
Lu Hanshang: "Strange, how did they determine that I am not Lu Hanshang?"
