Chapter 212 Interstellar Beauty (11)
Wangyou opened the pearl shop without hiding it from others, so the women who were waiting nearby to pick up the bargains saw it and were naturally very envious. After all, so many pearls could be made into a lot of beautiful jewelry.
Moreover, pearls are believed to possess energy, and wearing them for a long time can beautify and nourish the skin.
The soldiers who were enthusiastically catching seafood naturally saw it too, but they were men and didn't crave jewelry as much. Besides, they had already received the benefits, so it was normal for Xie Wangyou not to share with them. Therefore, no one was envious.
Seeing that there was no advantage to be gained and that the mechs were eyeing them covetously, the others also needed to search for supplies themselves, so they left one after another.
After picking at the pearls for a while, Wangyou got a little impatient and simply collected the rest and threw them into the ocean in her spatial dimension.
"Do you still want to fish out? If so, I'll dig a few more holes."
"Go for it!" Long Ziling replied to Wangyou in a moment of free time, thinking that he shouldn't refuse a freebie.
Over the past few days, Long Ziling has gained a basic understanding of Wangyou. If she needs something, they might not even be able to see it, but the things she asks them for help with are mostly things she doesn't want. He's not stupid.
Moreover, although they had been using mechs to catch seafood these past few days, they hadn't caught nearly as much as they had on the day Wangyou demonstrated for them. The quality of the seafood was also good. They let the mechs go down and catch whatever they could, depending entirely on the quality of the energy stones. They also discovered that the quality of their energy stones was not as good as the ones Wangyou had.
The group had considered exchanging energy stones with Wangyou, but she simply refused, even if they offered her more resources. After being turned down several times, they gave up, as Wangyou's attitude had clearly become impatient.
It's better to have a small quantity than to struggle for ages and catch very little. Besides, the seafood in this pit is of very good quality today. Only a fool wouldn't dig more pits.
Seeing this, Wangyou led the mecha to dig up several more nests of sea snails, then filled them with seawater, threw in herbs, and waited for the seafood to take the bait.
These seafood didn't have much spiritual energy, and Wangyou didn't really want them. Since they wanted them, we gave them to them.
"After you've finished scooping up the seafood, leave all the clams for me."
"Okay, no problem."
Wangyou didn't leave. She found a clean rock, squatted down, and watched the people take seafood while she leisurely ate sunflower seeds.
As for the conch shells, Forget-Me-Not has accumulated enough, and placing them in the space can produce conch shells with more abundant spiritual energy. Of course, Forget-Me-Not still divides the space into areas.
Wangyou ate melon seeds, then fruit, then nuts, then jerky. Her mouth never stopped moving. When she was thirsty, she drank spirit fruit juice, which made a group of people hungry just watching her.
"Xie Tao, your cousin might be hard to please. I looked up a few times, and she was always eating, and it was all high-level energy food. She probably wouldn't even look at ordinary things. You might have a hard time coaxing her back," Zhang Wanqian said in a low voice, looking rather like he was watching a show.
"Even if it's hard to coax her, we have to coax her. We can't just give up." Xie Tao knew that Wangyou was no ordinary girl, but it concerned the future of the Xie family, so he had to coax her no matter how difficult it was.
Zhang Wanqian and Jin Sanshun exchanged a subtle glance. It seemed that Xie Wangyou was extremely important to the Xie family. It seemed they would have to inform their family when they returned.
The major families of the Imperial Star appear to be on good terms, but everyone knows that they are secretly at odds with each other. The Xie family is a large family with a long history, and someone who is valued by them so much must have special significance. Just to be on the safe side, it would be better to make things clear with the family.
"Long Ziling, I'm going to eat that fish you're holding tonight. Don't share it with anyone else." Wangyou saw that Long Ziling was holding a red carp. It seemed that this fish was also mutated. She would have it for dinner.
"I understand." Long Ziling put the carp away separately. Wangyou had almost finished eating, so she continued to wander around aimlessly.
“Host, there’s a faint aura of the Koi clan here,” Duobao suddenly said.
"Don't koi fish usually live in freshwater? How come there are any in the sea?"
"It might have mutated."
"That's the only explanation." Wangyou seemed aimless, but in reality, she was heading in a certain direction with a purpose.
Because there was a mecha next to Wangyou, the people around her stayed away from her until they arrived at a bay, where the koi's aura was strongest.
Wangyou directly installed a water-based energy stone on each of the two mechs, and then gave the order for them to bring back a golden carp intact.
The Forget-Worry Divine Sense detected a golden koi. Legend has it that golden koi bring good luck, but I wonder if that's true.
Following Wangyou's instructions, the golden koi was safely transported up in a large fish tank by two mechs.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Wangyou put it directly into her spatial storage, deciding to study it properly when she got back.
Afterwards, Wangyou spread her divine sense and scanned the ocean again, discovering that the resources in the ocean were truly abundant. Wangyou sat on the shore, picking and choosing, collecting everything that she liked or that she didn't have in her space, before reluctantly withdrawing her divine sense.
"You guys take your time digging. I'm going back now. There are probably four or five more diggings in each hole." Wangyou walked back to where she was, gave her instructions, and then left.
Wangyou returned to the camp and went straight to Xiao Liu. "Xiao Liu, cook this bucket of conch for me tonight. Make it spicy."
"So many! Did you disturb a whole nest of conch shells?"
"Almost there, can we do it?"
"Of course, just wait and eat." Xiao Liu readily agreed, took the bucket, and went to prepare it.
Having solved the food problem, Wangyou returned to her tent. After taking a nap, the combat team members gradually returned as well.
"The combat team caught so many conches today, I'm going to eat a lot of them." A girl in a white dress looked at the ingredients in the kitchen with shining eyes.
"Lian'er is so lucky; everyone got to eat conch as soon as she arrived," several women nearby complimented.
"Little Liu, I like sweet things, make me a few more sweet ones," the woman named Lian'er said with a smile.
Xiao Liu suddenly felt that some people were so shameless. He had never thought anything was wrong before and had never bothered to pay attention to these people.
After Xiao Liu waited for the conch to purge all the mud and sand and cleaned its internal organs, he immediately stir-fried it with chili oil. As for those who preferred a sweet taste, that was none of his business.
Wangyou didn't go out that night; Xiao Liu brought her dinner to the tent.
"I haven't had this stir-fried conch in ages. It tastes so authentic. No wonder you have the potential to become a chef." Wangyou happily ate a bowl of rice, a large plate of conch, and a few side dishes.
But before Wangyou could even take two bites, she heard a commotion outside.
"I clearly saw the conch shell this afternoon, did you keep it?" Several women surrounded Xiao Liu relentlessly.
"Xiao Liu, what happened?"
"Captain, Miss Wangyou came back this afternoon with a bucket of conch and asked me to cook it for her. But this woman immediately wanted to eat it, saying she liked it sweet. It's not my stuff, how can I make the decision?" Xiao Liu was still aggrieved. He hadn't agreed to it this afternoon, how could there be such a shameless person?
While eating, Wangyou listened to the argument outside.
"Since we're all part of the same team, these are everyone's supplies, so how can they be just one person's?" the woman in pink persisted.
