Xi Xi first browsed through "Dongli Zhijian: A Beginner's Cooking Tutorial", and then consulted the blended textile manual recorded by Chu Zhiqin, but still could not find any record of "Shallow Sea Crystal".
"Could it be that I remembered it wrong?" Xi Xi couldn't help but start to doubt whether her memory was flawed.
Just then, her gaze inadvertently swept over the corner next to the sofa in the lounge area. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind—
Oh, and there's also an advanced tool table!
Xi Xi immediately activated the crafting screen on the advanced tool table. The screen slowly lit up, displaying various complex patterns and text.
Without a moment's delay, she quickly swiped down the screen with her finger, her eyes fixed on the table of contents.
【Item Name: Sea Town Soul Pearl】
【Crafting Materials: Shallow Sea Crystal *1, Deep Sea Crystal *1, Any Four Types of Seaweed *1】
Sea Town Soul Pearl?! Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened immediately.
She patted her head, somewhat annoyed that she hadn't realized how important such an item was!
She did remember that the bead was very expensive, and at the time she couldn't afford it at all, so she casually forgot about it.
In the preview image on one side of the light screen production list, the Sea Town Soul Pearl is spherical, about half a foot in diameter, crystal clear, and emits a faint blue light, just like a bright pearl in the deep sea.
Although Xi Xi could not know the specific purpose of the bead from the production list, she could guess from its name that it must be related to survival in the sea, and a thought arose in her mind.
She first instructed her mother not to touch the seaweed from the treasure chest for the time being, and then opened the trading hall.
After a quick search, Xi Xi couldn't help but smile. Sure enough, someone had been fooled by the item prompts and hadn't taken this seriously!
In the trading hall, there were several trading posts where people were exchanging Shallow Sea Crystals for ordinary freshwater resources!
With quick reflexes, Xi Xi swiftly completed the transaction, acquiring three crystals. Satisfied, she placed these shallow sea crystals into her storage cabinet and then returned to the public chat.
There seemed to be some discussion on the public screen, and Xi Xi paused, her hand that was about to turn off the light screen.
"This is too difficult! I'm sincere about buying, but you're not sincere about selling!"
"I've searched the transfer station twice for you, but I really can't find it... Does this thing you're talking about even exist?"
"Even if we had them, how many survival points would 10 of them cost? Who could afford that?"
"That's right, everyone knows functional foods are expensive, and this price... tsk tsk, it's enough for me to splurge for a long time!"
"Young lady, no one else has what you're looking for, but I do have a high-quality knife here. Consider it an equal exchange. What do you think?"
Xi Xi looked at the various opinions on the public screen with some suspicion. At first, she thought it was some kind of transaction dispute, but the more she looked, the more something seemed off. With a gossip-loving attitude, she scrolled up the chat history and finally found the source of the conversation.
Liu Enxi (Ping): "I need help from everyone at the transit station. I need 10 servings of 'Rose Baked Milk Tea'."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "This is not ordinary roasted milk; it's a functional food. I know the price may be a bit high, so please help me out."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "The reward is this 'screenshot of the light screen'."
Rose-flavored milk tea? Xi Xi was startled when she saw the name and quickly clicked on the .
[Earth Spirit Guardian Shield *1]
[Item Note: Disposable consumable. It can sense abnormal fluctuations in the earth's crust. When an earthquake strikes, it immediately releases a powerful energy wave, forming an invisible barrier. However, the energy is limited and may not completely isolate earthquakes. Please use with caution.]
Xi Xi raised an eyebrow; this thing was rather interesting.
"Honestly, I feel like this shield is a legitimate survival tactic for dealing with earthquakes, I really want one!"
"Who the hell knows if your thing is effective or not? It can't completely isolate earthquakes. What if it fails to protect us? We'll just have wasted money and gone to waste."
"Make it cheaper, I'll buy it if you change something else!"
"It seems like you're putting on a show. You're asking for a price that most people can't afford right off the bat. Are you trying to flaunt your protective shield?"
"Besides, that roasted milk is at most a buff food. Everyone's in a panic right now because of the earthquake. Who would bother trading Earth Spirit Guardian Shield for roasted milk?"
"Don't mess with people's mentality if you don't want to change!"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "This is not a show, I'm not lying! Can someone help me check if any of the milk tea shops at the transit station sell 'Algae Rose Roasted Milk Tea'? Price is not an issue."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "My sister is in grave danger. Please help us, okay?"
Liu Enxi (Peace): "After this is done, I will tell you everything I know about earthquake preparedness... May good people have a peaceful life!"
As soon as Liu Enxi spoke, the public chat exploded again, with wave after wave of moral blackmail coming at them.
Xi Xi shook her head, feeling that Liu Enxi didn't seem like someone who could talk well, as she had revealed her true intentions in just a few words.
"If you have earthquake preparedness measures, just say so! Why use money to measure your shamelessness? This is a natural disaster!"
"Exactly! Earthquakes are the enemy of all mankind. You're using this for business, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"
"Do your best to do something good for your sister."
"I won't curse you, but can I buy earthquake intelligence separately?"
+1
"Anyway, we can't afford functional foods, but we can make a profit by buying and selling them separately, so sis, think about it!"
"Can you guys stop aiding and abetting evil? Our server 777 has always survived this long by sharing information on the public chat."
