The seemingly simple white crane took her a full quarter of an hour to complete.
Wouldn't it be a waste to make a little white crane like this? Su Luo thought to herself.
Su Luo noticed that after Lu Danni finished making a white crane, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her face, and then continued to make another one.
"What can these little white cranes do?"
Su Luo picked one up and played with it in her hand.
Lu Danni stared at the little white crane in Su Luo's hand, looking a little nervous, afraid that Su Luo would scatter the little white crane.
Lu Danni said to Su Luo, "On this island, most of the communication functions are sealed, so we can't communicate with each other, so we need these little white cranes to pass on messages."
Su Luo's eyes paused, and she picked up her communication jade to take a look. Well, just when she received the ten gold coins, the communication jade was scanned, and sure enough, most of its functions were turned off.
Su Luo: “…”
Lu Danni looked at Su Luo and sighed slightly: "You just arrived, so you don't understand anything. Life on this island is hard."
"Don't you know this skill?" Su Luo asked.
Lu Danni shook her head helplessly. "There are many people who know this skill, not just me. You don't know anything, so I'll do the math for you and you'll understand."
Lu Danni counted on her fingers, "Five gold coins a day is just enough for basic survival, but we're on this island to repair our chains. All the spirit stones and crystals are sealed and stored away, so where can we find them? So, we have to earn spirit stones ourselves to keep repairing our chains, which is a huge expense. And then there's the hefty tuition fee every year. Even more terrifying, the tuition is increasing exponentially every year. It's terrifying just thinking about it."
"This little white crane, for example, can be used as a communication tool to transmit information, but it only sells for ten silver coins each." Lu Danni felt heartbroken just thinking about it. "Ten for one gold coin, and I have to make fifty a day to cover my daily expenses, and that doesn't even include other chain repair expenses and tuition."
Su Luo was speechless: "Why is this island so dark?"
Lu Danni cried, "Isn't it? Many people are almost giving up, but this place is isolated from the outside world. Let alone escaping, we can't even send a letter. We can't jump into the sea and commit suicide, right? There's nothing we can do. We can only do whatever it takes to survive. As long as we graduate from fourth grade, we can leave this damn place. It may be called Galle Island, but we privately call it Devil's Island."
Lu Danni looked at Su Luo with a hint of sympathy. "You're new here today. What good are ten gold coins for? Hurry up and think of a way to survive. If you want to learn how to make a little white crane, I can teach you."
Su Luo's luck was pretty good. Although the people from Zhongdi College annoyed her, these two roommates were pretty good.
Su Luo touched her chin and said, "Besides doing handicrafts, is there no other way to make money?"
While Lu Danni was making the second little white crane, she replied to Su Luo, "If you don't do handicrafts, then you can only go out to work."
"Work?" Su Luo asked curiously.
Lu Danni said, "But these kinds of jobs are usually taken over by Zhongdi College. The people in our branch aren't very talented, so... but working part-time does make more money than doing handicrafts. Never mind, you haven't seen it yet, so why not go and see it for yourself? If you can't figure it out, just learn how to make a little white crane from me."
Su Luo nodded.
