Chapter 16 The little thing is quite unique



It was actually Cheng Xu! Xi Xi was speechless for a moment. So, it turned out that the gasoline she lost had been earned back by this kid in another way…

While complaining, Xi Xi couldn't help but admire him; people with business acumen can find business opportunities even in games.

In fact, Xi Xi also loves to observe the people and things around her. For her, observation is not only an action, but also a pleasure and an enjoyment.

Discover the overlooked details in life, capture the subtle changes in everyone's facial expressions or the art of language, find the key to the problem from the details, and thus make accurate and decisive decisions.

Xi Xi believes that these observations are very helpful to her work, studies, and interpersonal relationships. Observation not only helps her better understand the world, but also allows her to feel the diversity of souls and thoughts.

She glanced thoughtfully at the man with the ID "Li Jinshao," feeling that he was a player with some knowledge and a sense of preparedness.

Xi Xi noticed that his words were concise and profound, and he was able to quickly analyze the core of the problem, allowing other players to find direction in their confusion.

But none of that matters. The most important thing is that they actually drew a "Great Fortune" sign in the fortune-telling lottery!

Xi Xi couldn't help but feel a little envious and jealous. This was the first time Xi Xi had seen the "Great Fortune" lucky charm today. Unlike her "Small Fortune" charm with a red background and wooden border, this one was a genuine "Great Fortune" charm with a red background and gold border!

"Give me some good luck..." Xi Xi said with utmost sincerity, stroking the auspicious symbol on the light screen with her fingers, attempting to summon good fortune through metaphysics.

Don't call Xi Xi superstitious. She's already gone through rebirth and time travel, so what's wrong with being a little metaphysical?

According to Xi Xi's observations over the day, the lucky symbols for different fortune levels are different. "Neutral" is white with a wooden border, "Slightly Auspicious" is red with a wooden border, "Auspicious" is red with a silver border, and "Very Auspicious" is red with a gold border. As the fortune level rises, the symbols become more ornate and sophisticated.

However, Xi Xi has not seen a single player with a negative badge so far. Whether this is because the game is designed to not have any negative bonuses or because of special protection during the new player protection period is unknown.

Xi Xi quickly finished eating and drinking, leaving not a drop of soup behind. "It's so comforting to eat hot, soupy food when the weather is cool," Xi Xi said with a sigh, wiping her mouth and stretching, before starting to clean up the pots and pans.

Hot food warms the body and mind, spreading from the tip of the tongue to the depths of the heart, enveloping one in endless warmth and peace.

Although Xi Xi was still somewhat weak due to her low stamina, she felt that all the cold and fatigue were comforted by this warm power, and her mood improved.

Then, humming a little tune, she filled a large bottle of mineral water in the car with some water, boiled it, and poured the steaming hot water into the stainless steel lunchbox. Even if it didn't keep the water hot, it was fine; she could drink it warm even if it cooled down.

Today, apart from the bottle of drinking water we opened from the treasure chest, we used up all the other small bottles, some for drinking and some for making soup.

This brings us back to that treasure chest storage bug we encountered before.

It turned out that when Xi Xi was making fish bone soup and needed to add water, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She had a sudden idea to test whether the treasure chest would not disappear as long as there were items in it, even if the items were not the original loot of the treasure chest.

The snake meat and bloodstained paper had already been removed. So, while keeping the bottled water unchanged, she placed a small pebble in each of the other two empty spaces, intending to use a substitution trick to replace the drinking water spoils she had originally left behind.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Her trick was detected by the game mechanics, and the moment she took out the bundle of drinking water, the wooden treasure chest vanished into thin air along with the two pebbles...

The moment the experiment failed, Xi Xi was filled with lingering fear, and unconsciously patted her chest. Thank goodness she hadn't used snake meat for this "substitution" bug test, otherwise she would have wasted a delicious dinner...

“Another empty treasure chest wasted,” she shrugged, belatedly summarizing, “Since we can’t just replace it, it seems we have to keep one of the original items in the chest to prevent it from disappearing. There’s no other shortcut.”

This left Xi Xi with four extra empty bottles. She took out the plastic bottles she had finished drinking from earlier and stacked them together with the other empty bottles. Just as she was about to stomp on them to flatten them all, she heard a familiar mechanical sound.

[Five small empty plastic bottles and one medium empty plastic bottle were detected. Should they be decomposed?]

Huh? It can be decomposed? Somewhat surprised, Xi Xi barely managed to freeze in place before immediately replying, "Yes!" It's good that it can be decomposed; it saves space. Thinking this, Xi Xi looked at the bottles and jars at her feet.

Suddenly, the five empty plastic bottles began to flow out in all directions as if they were liquid. Upon contact with each other, they merged together like water droplets, slowly moving towards the center and finally condensing into a small cube.

[Ding! Disassembly successful. Congratulations! You have obtained 1 plastic fragment.]

"This little thing is quite unique." Xi Xi picked up the neatly arranged cube-shaped plastic fragment, tossed it up, and caught it again; it felt heavy in her hand. Hmm, it really does look like a mahjong tile, except it's a cube instead of a cuboid.

Liu Yunyan (Xiao Ji): "Xi Xi, can I trade two boxes of instant noodles for some hot food? Do you have any extra kebabs?"

Liu Yunyan (Xiao Ji): "The gasoline has been automatically loaded, sob sob, do you need anything else?"

When Liu Yunyan sent a private message to Xi Xi, Xi Xi happened to be browsing the chat history about plastic fragments in the public chat, trying to find some useful information.
