Chapter 154 Underwater Banquet
Carrying her newly hatched, well-fed baby turtle, Yu Qi arrived at the turtle family's shopping mall.
Upon arrival, she discovered that the shopping mall was actually quite small, resembling a human supermarket, and far from comparable to shopping paradises.
Yu Qi looked over curiously, and there was a tortoise explaining to her.
"Are you a distinguished guest of our clan? It must be very strange to come here for the first time. Our turtle family doesn't like to stay in such a dull place, so we all like to carry our houses and go to the wide beach to sunbathe." An old turtle lay there, lazily moving its paws.
Yu Qi thought to herself, "So that's how it is. It seems that these turtles from the turtle family like to run around everywhere! No wonder I encountered a turtle merchant on the highway last time."
Although the place wasn't big, there were quite a few turtles sunbathing there, so Yu Qi decided to wander around and try to find a pattern.
"Grandma, how much do you sell these blind boxes?"
The old tortoise raised its head, looking bewildered: "Do you want to buy something from me? I've never left, and I haven't been open for business for years."
"The price of blind boxes in our family is the same. You have the aura of the ocean and are a distinguished guest of our family, so I will give you 70 crystal coins. If you want to pay with an Energy Heart, you only need one Intermediate Energy Heart."
Only one intermediate-level energy core?
Yu Qi's eyes lit up. Recently, monsters have been attacking the giant ship every day, and those little monsters bring her several hundred intermediate energy hearts every day, not to mention the various fruits, vegetables and canned goods sold in her home every day!
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" she said, and walked up the wooden stairs to the wooden house above.
Sure enough, there were many wooden cans inside, exactly the same as the ones I had seen in the turtle merchant's house before.
Of course, these canned goods shone with a colorful light in her eyes.
Just as the old tortoise said, she hadn't been outside much or opened many businesses in all these years, and the house was piled with countless cans, mostly purple, with quite a few gold ones as well.
Yu Qi was overjoyed.
She brought out most of the gold cans and the purple cans; these were definitely ones she wanted to buy!
Next, we need to select the canned goods that may contain black ore.
Gold and purple are both good things, and next up are orange and cyan.
Yu Qi took one of each and opened it to take a look.
They discovered that the orange can contained some colored minerals, while the cyan can contained only an ordinary dagger.
Therefore, the black ore is very likely inside the orange can.
Yu Qi then turned around and found a bunch of orange cans. After opening them, she saw that they contained all sorts of rare minerals.
Half of the ore has a moon-like color, and it is said to be as warm and smooth as jade, like the finest jade.
The elderly tortoise next to him looked at it, tilted its head and identified it: "These are all black ore, a specialty of our tortoise family. It's not bad that you found these things. You can sell them for a good price outside. Don't be discouraged."
The old tortoise thought she was sad because she hadn't spoken.
Yu Qi hugged the pile of ore, trying hard to control her emotions, and finally nodded calmly: "Thank you for the comfort."
In fact, she didn't even open those gold and purple wooden cans; she bought them and planned to open them in her homestead later!
What if we find something good and can't get out? We still need to be careful!
After saying goodbye to the turtle merchant, she went to visit other turtle merchants and scooped up most of the golden, purple, and orange-glowing canned goods.
Of course, Yu Qi wasn't too arrogant; if she took everything recently, it would be very easy to be discovered.
From now on, even turtle merchants selling canned goods won't be able to find anything good inside. How could they not know that?
Yu Qi finally stopped after using up most of his intermediate-level energy cores.
When she was about to leave, the turtle family even saw her off.
Yu Qi agreed without batting an eye and was safely returned to the giant ship, where no external storms could affect the giant tortoise beneath her feet.
As she watched the giant tortoise gradually disappear into the distance, she felt a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including admiration and awe) and thought to herself, "This really is a pretty good tortoise ship!"
If the giant ship she's on really capsizes in the future, maybe she can ask the turtle family for help!
"Master Hunter, Master Hunter, you're finally back! We've been looking for you for so long!" Zhan Bai's voice came from outside.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qi had already put all the canned food into the homestead and calmly raised her eyes to look over.
"The captain of that sea serpent ship came over and would like to invite you over."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qi understood.
The captain probably guessed that the lightning seed was with him, but he didn't dare to do anything, and simply invited him over.
There's nothing wrong with Yu Qi either; we're all in the same boat anyway.
Moreover, that captain might not actually be able to beat her!
"Don't worry, I'll be there in a bit. The treasure chest hasn't been opened yet."
Yu Qi carefully collected all the treasure chests he had caught with the golden fishing rod.
Zhan Bai scratched his head, then thought of something: "Hey, Boss Hunting, have you seen the new dungeons that have appeared recently?"
Yu Qi looked up: "What dungeon?"
Zhan Bai gave a brief description: "It's a dungeon about the underwater banquet. Entry isn't mandatory, and it doesn't say whether there will be any rewards inside."
