With the brothers gone, Xiao Yu no longer had any reservations. Once she got home, she immediately cooked up a pot of army-style hotpot and even added two packets of instant noodles. These noodles were imported from H Country, and their texture was even chewier than the local ones from Hua Country. As for the hotpot base, it was also imported.
In addition to that, the cost of the seafood in her pot wasn’t low, with clams, Clams, octopuses, sea shrimp, and Crabs—whatever she had on hand, she tossed in. Once everything simmered together, the tastiest part was the ramen soaking up all the juice—oh, that flavor, just one bite made her feel like she was in heaven. Read full story at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
She didn’t use to care for seafood in the past, but ever since she arrived here, eating it daily had become a habit.
On this island, aside from the hens she raised at home, there were various other small animals—only, she wasn’t skilled at hunting. While her brothers were around, she’d get to have a taste occasionally, but now they were gone, no one was hunting, and in the future, she might have to settle for the chickens she raised.
The original four hens (three hens and one rooster) had now grown to about a dozen, which meant she could have chicken whenever she wanted.
"Don’t you have some martial arts or something suitable for my Cultivation? You see, I’m quite bored on the island by myself. Can’t I learn some self-defense skills or something?"
Liang Tian shook his head, "No, you’re not at the right Level. If you want to learn, you’ll have to find a master and study in this life. For now, there is a shortcut available, but it depends on whether you’re willing to spend the money."
"I have Power Pills here, five million a piece. You want them?"
"Bloody hell, that’s expensive! Are you robbing me?"
Liang Tian scoffed disdainfully, "Five million expensive? These will benefit you for a lifetime. With this, you’ll save a lot of effort working in space. Others can’t even get them if they want, you’re lucky to get it for five million!"
"I see what’s going on. You won’t be satisfied until I spend all ten million I have, right?"
"You don’t have ten million anymore. If you buy the Power Pills, you’ll only have one or two hundred thousand left (Two hundred thousand spent on medicine, and quite a bit on various other things). That won’t even be enough to buy a boat, so from now on, you’ll have to figure out ways to fish and sell daily."
Look, someone’s even craftier than she is, planning her future so quickly.
Although expensive, she couldn’t deny the truth in Liang Tian’s words. Whether for self-defense or work, having great strength was indeed a huge advantage!
"Fine, I’ll buy it. They’re not here anyway, and I need to do some physical work. Just one thing, how much does a boat from your space cost? If I can’t afford to buy, is renting okay?"
Even if she bought a boat, she had nowhere to put it, and a boat from space, likely with future tech, would be hard for her to handle alone if it were ancient. So, the best solution was to rent a speedboat—it was not only efficient and time-saving but also absolutely beneficial in every way.
"You want to rent a speedboat?" As soon as Xiao Yu thought about it, Liang Tian could sense her thoughts through her Spiritual Sense.
"What, not enough money?"
"It’s not that it’s not enough. One or two hundred thousand is plenty. It’s just that if you spend all your money, make sure to save more in the future."
"Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll definitely dive for seafood daily. You can also buy diving equipment here. With that, I can earn even more money. I won’t let my account go into the negative."
