In an empty sea area, Zhong Cuicui and Chai Xiaoqi were squatting on a rock of only about 1 square meters and shivering.
Zhong Cuicui held the fishing rod in one hand and rubbed her arms, "When will Sister Xiaoxiao come?"
She was currently wearing Chai Xiaoqi's hoodie, and Chai Xiaoqi was sitting cross-legged behind her. The old monk was half in trance, staring at the rising sea under the reef.
"I don't know. I only know that the sea water is about to rise. If we can't catch any more, we have to swim back quickly."
Zhong Cuicui stared at the fish float floating slowly with the sea water in front of her and sighed, "It's a shame that Sister Xiaoxiao knows such a place."
It's just that the place is too narrow, but fortunately the two of them don't take up any space, so they can sit down.
The night at this time is really good. Outside the volcanic island where there are no hurricanes and thunderstorms, the sea is so quiet. A moon shines on the sea with sparkling light. If you ignore where the two of them are now, it is said that they are in the sea. An island vacation is not an exaggeration.
The two waited quietly for a while, until the dark seawater gradually began to stir. Chai Xiaoqi immediately stood up and said, "The seawater is about to rise. Let's move out."
Zhong Cuicui looked at her motionless fishing rod and sighed, then she had no choice but to stop and stand up.
Just as the two of them were getting ready to dive back into the sea, suddenly there was a churning in the sea, and then a head popped up.
The two of them were startled, "What?"
I saw the head floating closer and closer, and soon the whole person swam in front of me. The person directly grabbed the rock and turned off the respirator. It turned out to be Yun Xiao.
"Sister Xiaoxiao?!"
The two of them couldn't help but pull the person up. Yun Xiao quickly waved his hand, "Sorry, it took me a long time. I didn't look at the time. Did Cuicui catch a fish?"
Zhong Cuicui shook her head, "I didn't catch anything."
Yun Xiao sighed. She looked at the waves rolling around her and said, "You two come into the water with me, and I will take you to another place."
Upon hearing this, Chai Xiaoqi and Zhong Cuicui immediately packed their equipment and followed Yun Xiao into the sea.
The waves on the sea were rising and falling, but they did not affect the calmness of the sea at all. The surrounding water was dark and gloomy. Chai Xiaoqi held Zhong Cuicui's hand and swam towards Yun Xiao.
The three people swam in the sea for a long time. Since they were snorkeling, the three of them were moving forward in the shallow water area where the sea surface met, so they could clearly feel that the sea surface had rolled up the wind and waves. The wind and waves got bigger and bigger, and the three of them dived a few more meters. Chai Xiaoqi looked around and felt more and more that they were not swimming towards the shore, but towards the opposite sea, but Yun Xiao kept insisting Leading the way, it was difficult for him to ask questions in the sea, so he could only pull Zhong Cuicui to follow.
The three of them gradually swam to the middle of the sea. As the waves got bigger and bigger, a storm began to fall over the sea. When Zhong Cuicui and Chai Xiaoqi went up to take a breather, they were almost swept away by the huge waves. They also moved against the current underwater and almost couldn't swim several times. Fortunately, Yun Xiao stopped soon.
The two of them hurriedly swam closer, only to see Yun Xiao opening his robe in the sea and covering the two of them directly. Then she took one in each hand and pulled the two of them to swim forward for more than ten meters before releasing them from her robe.
The two of them didn't understand the operation. Seeing Yun Xiao wandering far away, they quickly tried their best to keep up.
The strange thing is that when the two of them came up for air this time, the sea actually calmed down, the strong wind and heavy rain stopped, and the sky was filled with stars, as if the huge waves and storm just now were an illusion.
This time, there was no need to fight against the current, and the swimming became much easier. Only then did the two of them catch up with Yun Xiao again.
Not long after, the soft land gradually became available under their feet, and the three of them stood up from the sea one after another.
Chai Xiaoqi and Zhong Cuicui limped ashore from the sea as if they were tired and paralyzed. As they walked, they looked around, and the more they looked, the more surprised they became.
At this time, the three people were surrounded by a beautiful beach that they had never seen before. It was many times better than the bare and ruined place on the volcanic island!
I heard that only Claire Town has a beach, and the entrance fee to Claire Town is 50 gold coins. Could it be that the three of them swam directly to the Safe City?
Even late at night, the sea water under your feet is already clear blue, and the sand nearby for hundreds of miles is also fine white soft sand. The coconut trees on the island are swaying gently in the night breeze, and there are many clean and tidy deck chairs and sun umbrellas on the shore.
Isn’t this a real island resort?
Zhong Cuicui sighed, "This place is so beautiful."
Yun Xiao packed up his diving equipment, but looked around with a vigilant expression and said, "Don't take it lightly just because the scenery is good. This is the level 70 dungeon map - Blue Sea Shoal."
Chai Xiaoqi trembled when he heard this. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Level 70 dungeon?! This map hasn't been opened yet!"
Zhong Cuicui looked in the direction she swam from, "We swam directly from the volcanic island to the shallows of the blue sea? Is there no air wall blocking us?"
Yun Xiao smiled and did not answer.
Why not? Otherwise, why would she cover the two of them in the "Emperor's New Clothes" in the sea?
This move was inspired by the air wall in the Konar Grassland. She wanted to see if there was a connection between the volcanic island and the sea area of Bihai Qiantan. The result was as she expected. All maps were only connected by air walls. Blocked, and there is no map outside the air wall in the western part of Conal Grassland, so it is pitch black.
She had worked hard to get Zhong Cuicui to level 30 because she wanted to swim across this sea. She couldn't swim without 300 stamina.
The maximum breath-holding time of the snorkel depends on the level. If you are Cuicui at level 20, you may die before you reach the air wall.
Yun Xiao threw a piece of bread to each of them, "Eat this."
Chai Xiaoqi and Zhong Cuicui took the interview and saw that there was still a packaging bag. They couldn't help but said in surprise, "This is bread in the real world!"
Although it is only the cheapest naked bread, it is still a very precious thing to them.
Yun Xiao didn't think anything was wrong. The three of them sat in front of a deck chair, watching the waves on the beach that continued to advance and retreat, while nibbling on this naked bread with a full milky flavor.
"It really feels like I'm on vacation. This is my first time coming to a beach with a beach!"
In the past three months, in order to take care of the children, Zhong Cuicui has been playing the role of an elder all the time. In addition to going out to kill zombies and collect materials regularly every day, she also sells sandwiches to support the family. Every day, she is thinking about whether everyone will have food to eat the next day. I never thought that I would be able to have the carefree time I have now.
Chai Xiaoqi is even more like this. If he steals something every day, he may be discovered later. Recently, he has been chased so hard by the Alliance Army and Tu Ling Mansion that he doesn't even have a chance to go out to form a wild team to play a dungeon.
Fortunately, they had previously earned 50,000 gold coins from Chu Yang. Otherwise, it would have been too difficult for the whole family to rely solely on Cuicui selling sandwiches.
Yun Xiao threw a bottle of water to each of them, and traded 100,000 gold coins to each of them.
Zhong Cuicui was shocked when she saw the sudden extra money, "Sister Xiaoxiao, this is too much!"
Chai Xiaoqi also frowned, "That's right, how can we use so much money? Cuicui and I can only spend less than 5,000 gold coins a month with those small ones."
Spend less than 5,000 gold coins?
Yun Xiao looked at the quiet beach and sighed.
She also looked at the situation at home. There were 16 people in the group including Zhong Cuicui and Chai Xiaoqi. The cheapest ways to relieve hunger on the market were [sour bread] and [black bread]. Not to mention the former, the latter The price is 10 gold coins each, which is 4800 gold coins for 16 people per month.
It's not much to feed 16 people with less than 5,000 gold coins, but if you eat that every day, is that how people live?
She wants everyone to be fed and clothed every day, not just alive.
Yun Xiao said, "You can keep this money and spend it safely. Eat more every day and keep your body strong. I will help you make more money in the future."
When Chai Xiaoqi and Zhong Cuicui heard this, their noses became sore. How the past three months had passed, only they themselves knew.
Yun Xiao said again, "Cui Cui, do you still have a sandwich on you? Give me one, I want to try it."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Cuicui quickly took out a sandwich from her backpack and handed it to Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao looked at the sandwich. It was the most ordinary vegetable and egg sandwich, with tomato, lettuce and eggs sandwiched between two pieces of bread. There was no sauce. Even so, it had to be cut diagonally into a triangle shape and sold in two. .
Yun Xiao took a bite. The eggs were sandwiched with fresh vegetables, and the texture was very refreshing. After finishing it in two or two bites, the system popped up a prompt box, [Eat "ordinary sandwich" to relieve hunger and restore 50% of physical strength]
Yun Xiao asked, "How much do you sell this for?"
Zhong Cuicui said, "120 gold coins each."
Ordinary bread is currently sold on the market for 100 gold coins each. Zhong Cuicui's sandwiches taste better than bread. With the same attributes, 120 gold coins each is not expensive. How can someone with a little money eat bread every day? A slightly more expensive sandwich It's also worth it.
Yun Xiao nodded and asked, "How much does a sandwich cost for you?"
Zhong Cuicui tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I picked the lettuce and tomatoes from the wild forest. The eggs were dropped by pheasants. Only the bread slices were made from purchased wheat flour. A pack of wheat flour costs 1,000 gold coins, which is an average sandwich." The cost is only 50 gold coins."
Yun Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "No, when you make bread and sandwiches, you will consume energy. Based on your previous level 20 energy of 200, 10 slices of bread and 10 sandwiches will consume 100 of your energy. You also need to use an item that restores 50% of energy. Currently, only soap on the market can restore 50% of energy, and a piece of soap costs 80 gold coins. Calculated evenly, your cost should be 58 gold coins."
Zhong Cuicui said, "But sister Xiaoxiao, I only cook 10 portions a day, and I can regain my energy directly from sleeping. As long as I sleep for 10 hours, my energy will be restored to full strength."
Yun Xiao was dumbfounded, how could she forget this.
They only eat sour black bread, so why would they spend money on soap? In order to make money, Yun Xiao would indeed buy energy-restoring items to make more goods, but Cuicui was not a businessman, she just wanted to make food and clothing.
“So how long does it take you to pick and hunt pheasants?”
Zhong Cuicui thought for a moment and said, "You can get a dozen servings in a whole day, but it will consume more energy."
Chai Xiaoqi interjected, "Cuicui and I usually go out to find the raw materials together, so that each of us only consumes 50% of the energy. Cuicui only needs to resume production the next day after her energy is restored. "
"I see."
If you calculate it this way, a sandwich can net you 70 gold coins.
But due to time constraints, they spend 15 days a month collecting materials in the field.
Then Zhong Cuicui can sell about 150 copies a month at most, and earn at least 10,000 gold coins a month.
This income is quite considerable.
Yun Xiao asked, "Can everything be sold out in one month?"
Zhong Cuicui waved her hands quickly, "It's good if you can sell six or seven a day. Although there are many rich people in Safety City, they don't eat sandwiches every day. You can sell more by setting up a stall, but Safety City is quite messy. There are gangs that charge protection fees, so I can only carry a basket and hawk."
If calculated as 6 people, they can earn about 6,000 a month. Although it is tight, it is just enough for them to live on.
Yun Xiao nodded, thinking about it.
She stood up, patted the crumbs on her body, and looked towards a pier at the end of the beach, "Okay, the chat is over, let's go fishing!"
