"All right, I'll buy these two." As she spoke, Ji Xinghe immediately handed Ms. Pink 250 Wow Coins.
Seeing how much she trusted her, Ms. Pink nodded. "Just a moment."
Outside the Shelter, Ms. Pink waved her hand, and a pink kitchen appeared before them.
Ji Xinghe's eyes lit up at the sight. She wondered whether there were mobile homes like this. If so, they'd make things much more convenient and comfortable, whether she was entering a Dungeon or exploring an Island.
A quarter of an hour later, the aroma of food wafted out of the pink kitchen.
Ji Xinghe couldn't help sniffing.
She hadn't had a hot meal in ages. Since arriving in the Survival World, she'd barely had a moment to rest; every day brought all kinds of challenges.
She'd had no time to enjoy life.
Even just now, she'd cooked a huge pot of food, both to make things easier for her future travels and to save time.
Only when two dishes, delicious in both appearance and aroma, were set before her did she smile at Ms. Pink.
"Want to eat together? A meal this good needs rice."
As she spoke, she took a steaming bowl of rice from her backpack. The grains were glossy and translucent; with the dishes, she could easily eat three bowls.
Ms. Pink shook her head, the hair hanging beneath her bun swaying slightly. "No, you take your time."
Ji Xinghe sounded a little disappointed. "All right..."
Honestly, despite looking relaxed, she was still a little scared inside. After all, she'd seen so many videos in the Chat Channel. The only one that had turned out relatively well was the one that made someone bald but boosted their defense.
Ji Xinghe didn't want to go bald, much less trigger some other bizarre buff...
But she didn't show it. At the very least, she couldn't let Ms. Pink see what she was thinking.
After spending time together, Ji Xinghe was almost certain that Ms. Pink had some kind of mind-reading ability.
In that case, she might as well accept whatever came.
The worst that could happen was making a fool of herself. It wasn't like she'd die.
Ji Xinghe fiddled with her chopsticks, her eyes lighting up again and again. So delicious!
Five minutes later, only two empty plates and three stacked wooden bowls remained in front of her.
[You ate the Spicy Boiled Fish and Stir-fried Green Vegetables made by Granny Pink. Together, they granted you: 1 permanent point of Luck.] [Current Luck: 10]
Ji Xinghe sprang to her feet, thrilled. Extra... Luck?
She screamed inwardly, not noticing Ms. Pink beside her smiling as she covered her ears with her hands.
After seeing Ms. Pink off, Ji Xinghe looked at the 10 points of Luck on her panel and jumped for joy.
Xiao Xi and Xiao Sha, who'd been obediently waiting nearby, sensed their master's excitement and started dancing behind her.
Luck!
It was a special attribute that couldn't be increased with attribute points. And now she'd gotten it with just 250 Wow Coins.
Before she'd even calmed down, another system announcement sounded.
[Ding! NPC Granny Pink has arrived on Ruoshui Sanqian's Island.]
Only then did Ji Xinghe snap out of it at the system's voice. She quietly opened the Chat Channel.
Maybe because nothing funny had happened on her Island, the system didn't post a video of Granny Pink's visit. The pinned video was still the one featuring the singing player.
Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Huh? There isn't a video of the big shot?"
Direction of Light: "@Player 001, did you not trigger a special effect? Or did you figure out a shortcut?"
She ignored Direction of Light. That person was just a troublemaker, not worth wasting her energy on.
Player 7890: "Big shot, hurry up and tell us about it!"
Player 7777: "I want to know too +1."
Tang Monk Uses Rejoice to Wash Hair: "I want to know +10086."
Seeing more and more people asking in the channel, Ji Xinghe replied with just one sentence: "I was unlucky and didn't trigger an effect. But Granny Pink was dressed all in pink, so she probably likes the color. If you meet her, you can try that."
Then she closed the Chat Channel.
It was already past three in the afternoon. She glanced at the Island merger interface.
[Orchard Island merger in progress. Time remaining: 03:59:39] [After the merger is complete, you may claim the merged Island's output once at the beginning of each month from the Island tab.]
In another four hours, Orchard Island would merge with her Island.
She planned to put up Wooden Fences between the two. Although she'd already finished exploring the Island, there were still Deformed Monsters inside.
Back in the Shelter, she took all 2,250 Wooden Fences from the Crafting Table.
She kept 350 Fences and put the rest on the Trade Market.
Then she opened the chat with South Brother of Erlong Lake and sent him a trade request: 200 Wooden Fences in exchange for 580 units of wood.
Next, she left the Shelter and headed to the walkway on the right side of the Island. She placed a Fence on each side and one in the middle of the path.
The walkway was eight meters long and two meters wide; it took 28 Fences.
Then she put up several more layers of Wooden Fences around the Shelter. Each one had only 100 HP, after all, so more layers meant better protection!
In the end, she completely surrounded the Shelter with six layers of Fences before stopping.
Wooden Fences were still selling like hotcakes on the Trade Market.
She'd only spent the time putting up a few layers of Fences, and they'd already sold out.
There were still plenty of people in the channel who hadn't managed to buy any.
Ji Xinghe didn't waste any time. She claimed the 5,700 units of wood and immediately started crafting.
[Ding! 5,700 units of wood deducted. Crafting 2,850 Wooden Fences.] [Wooden Fence crafting complete in: 07:54:59]
[Granny Pink has left Ruoshui Sanqian's Island.]
On another Island.
