Seafood Market

"Hmph!"

Hearing Wang Xian's words, Su Jin gave another cold snort. Then she took out her phone and lightly scanned the QR code pasted on the stuffed flatbread cart.

"One hundred yuan received!"

A voice rang out from a somewhat battered Bluetooth speaker.

"Miss, that's too much. Way too much." The owner had not intended to take Su Jin's money in the first place, and when he heard that one hundred yuan had been received, he hurriedly said so.

"Uncle, consider the extra my way of thanking you."

After saying that to the owner, Su Jin tossed the phone to Wang Xian and walked off to the side.

"Thanks, Boss."

Wang Xian thanked the owner as well. From their earlier exchange, he had already figured out roughly what had happened.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Wait a moment, I'll give you your change." The owner immediately took out his phone.

"No need, Boss. Goodbye."

Wang Xian turned and quickly chased after Su Jin.

"Su Jin, where are you going?"

"None of your business!"

Su Jin answered while eating her stuffed flatbread.

"What do you mean, none of my business? I'm your brother-in-law!"

"Brother-in-law? Heh heh, that was before!" Su Jin sneered.

Wang Xian: ...

Fine. He really had no way to argue with that.

"We can talk about me and your sister later. Didn't your bag get stolen? Your ID and everything else must be gone too, right? Tell me, if I don't look after you, where can you go?" Wang Xian asked.

Su Jin choked on her words, but quickly said, "You still don't need to look after me. Even getting abducted would be better than staying with a scumbag like you!"

With that, she continued walking ahead.

Su Jin's words made Wang Xian laugh in irritation. How was he a scumbag?

"You little brat, you think I can't handle you?"

Wang Xian caught up to Su Jin in two quick strides. Reaching out with one large hand, he grabbed the clothes on her back and gave a light lift, raising Su Jin off the ground.

After Datafication, there had been many other strange changes. Each of the five basic attributes had its own special function.

An increase in the Strength stat not only raised attack power, but also increased physical strength along with it.

Su Jin was only around 1.65 meters tall and weighed less than fifty kilograms. To Wang Xian, whose Strength attribute had already exceeded fifty, lifting her was no different from lifting a chick.

"Wang Xian, let me go!"

Su Jin froze when Wang Xian lifted her by the back of her clothes. Then she began struggling and shouting.

Unfortunately, with her short arms and legs and her weak strength, she simply could not break free from Wang Xian's large hand.

Wang Xian ignored Su Jin's cries and carried her toward his electric tricycle.

The direction Su Jin had been heading was completely opposite from where he had parked the electric tricycle.

Along the way, they ran into the stuffed flatbread vendor again. Seeing Wang Xian carrying the shouting Su Jin, the owner smiled at him. Wang Xian naturally returned the smile.

Su Jin seemed to realize that struggling was useless, so she simply stopped struggling and picked up her stuffed flatbread to continue eating.

Of course, Wang Xian carrying Su Jin like that drew plenty of stares and pointing from passersby, but he ignored them all.

When they reached the place where he had parked his electric tricycle, Wang Xian set Su Jin in the cargo bed. After paying the parking fee, he started the vehicle and headed home.

Once she was in the vehicle, Su Jin became much more obedient. Though she did not speak to Wang Xian, she also did not do anything foolish like jumping out.

Since Su Jin said nothing, Wang Xian remained silent as well. It was not until he felt Su Jin tug at his clothes that he pulled over to the roadside and turned to ask, "What is it?"

Su Jin still did not speak. She merely stretched out a hand and pointed in a certain direction.

When Wang Xian looked over, he immediately smiled.

The direction Su Jin was pointing toward was a Seafood Market.

"Want some?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.

"Mm."

Su Jin nodded somewhat sheepishly.

She had not wanted to pay Wang Xian any attention, but the moment she saw the Seafood Market, the cravings in her stomach went wild. She could not suppress them at all, and helplessly had no choice but to turn to Wang Xian.

Wang Xian said nothing more. He started the vehicle, turned it around, and headed for the Seafood Market.

The seafood in the Seafood Market had all turned into wild monsters as well, but their levels were very low. Most were only levels 0 to 3, with only a few reaching level 5. Moreover, these wild monsters basically had no lethality.

The uncles and aunties selling seafood were naturally higher level than the seafood itself, generally between levels 6 and 8. With control over the life and death of the seafood, they naturally did not lack levels.

"What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat everything!"

Su Jin squatted in the cargo bed, her eyes nearly shining as she stared at all kinds of seafood, especially things like King Crab.

Seeing this, Wang Xian smiled and stopped the vehicle.

"Boss, two King Crabs."

Before the owner could speak, Su Jin suddenly said, "No need. I don't like them!"

Hearing Su Jin's words, the owner looked toward Wang Xian.

"Don't listen to her. The two biggest ones," Wang Xian told the owner.

"Sure!"

The owner happily went to scoop up the King Crabs.

"Why buy these? They're so expensive!"

Su Jin looked at Wang Xian with some dissatisfaction. She had only meant to buy some cheap seafood, like ordinary crabs and shrimp.

Who would have thought Wang Xian would buy King Crabs?

More importantly, Wang Xian was no longer her brother-in-law. She truly felt embarrassed about having him buy something so expensive.

"You little girl, don't worry about it."

After saying that, Wang Xian called out to the owner again, "Boss, this one, this one, that one, and that one too. Give me a few of each."

"Sure!"

The owner placed the weighed King Crabs into the cargo bed, then went to scoop up the seafood Wang Xian had pointed out.

Wang Xian really could not name any of that seafood, nor did he know what tasted good and what did not.

He just picked whichever ones were big and whichever ones were expensive.

In the end, the owner carried all the seafood into the cargo bed with a beaming smile. The huge pile of seafood squeezed Su Jin into a corner.

"Boss, how much?"

"Thirty-five thousand seven hundred in total. Let's round it off—you can give me thirty-five thousand." The owner grinned.

"Damn, it really isn't cheap!"

Wang Xian sighed and took out his phone, preparing to pay.

"That expensive? Forget it, forget it!"

The instant Su Jin heard the price, she was startled. She shouted as she stood up and tried to snatch Wang Xian's phone, preventing him from paying.

Wang Xian pressed her back into the cargo bed with one large hand, then scanned the code and paid under the owner's expectant gaze.
