Chapter 38 p2
Yu Chi felt the All-Purpose Fishing Rod move. She pulled it up and saw—
Oho, an automatic dishwasher.
An excellent-grade automatic dishwasher. Besides being able to wash your bowls clean, it could also detect toxins and completely disinfect them. It could be considered a very reassuring piece of furniture.
The washing speed was also very fast. You just had to put the bowls in, and it would be done in a few minutes.
Yu Chi had originally wanted to buy a dishwasher from the player trade section, but she had looked for a long time and couldn’t find one.
There were furniture like refrigerators and ovens, but they were all ungraded, the kind commonly used in reality, without any other functions.
She put the dishwasher in the kitchen and continued to go back to the fishing area to fish.
Yu Chi had initially wanted to plant a few ordinary plants in the planting area, but the weather was too hot. The seeds were a little wilted as soon as they came into contact with the air and didn’t look like they would survive, so she had to put it aside for now.
Just as she was thinking, a friend suddenly sent him a message.
【GrumpyBro】: I’m hungry.
Yu Chi: “…”
So?
He’s half a friend, after all. Yu Chi speechlessly sent over 5 grains of rice.
The other party clearly had a lot of meat in his backpack, but he still said this to him. He was probably craving rice.
【GrumpyBro】: [Heart.jpg]
【DazedFish】: Not interested in a relationship. Don’t cue me.
She remembered that when she had sent this emoji to the other party before, Li Feng had also replied to her like this.
Yu Chi, a little girl who always holds grudges over small things ^O^
She glanced at her chat with Zuo He again. The other party hadn’t replied yet. Did he forget, or was he still sleeping?
At night, Yu Chi finished her All-Purpose Fishing Rod time for the day. She had caught two excellent-grade items and one rare-grade item in total.
Besides the dishwasher, the other two were items that were not of much use at the moment, but it was better than nothing.
However, when Yu Chi had finished her shower and was sitting on the sofa, planning to look at the chat channel for a while, Zuo He sent her a message.
【MortalRealmLittleFairyGrass】: Be careful. The player who went to Honeydew Island is dead.
Yu Chi’s heart skipped a beat. In fact, when she had seen that player’s detailed replies to other people’s questions on the forum, she had felt a little uneasy.
This kind of behavior would almost never happen to her, but she couldn’t stop other players from being kind and generous, although it seemed a little foolish now.
Yu Chi did not see any related news on the forum. She replied to Zuo He.
【DazedFish】: How do you know?
Actually, the answer to this question was very simple. She had already guessed it, and sure enough…
【MortalRealmLittleFairyGrass】: When I used the teleportation item, it showed that this player does not exist.
A player naturally does not exist after death, but the traces they left in the channel and on the forum will not disappear. You can even still send messages to their chat box, but you will never get a reply.
Yu Chi suddenly felt that she was indeed in danger, but thinking of her current strength, she felt a little more at ease.
Unless the player who came to kill her was the number one, number two, or number three on the ranking… even if it was these few people, she still had the strength to fight, and running away was not a problem.
Teleportation items all had a time limit. If she stayed in the sea for more than ten hours, could the other party still wait for her on the boat all the time?
Yu Chi thought of her [Two-Sided Mirror] space and felt extremely fortunate. Even without a small boat, she could now live easily no matter where she was.
【DazedFish】: Why did you go looking for him?
She actually wanted to ask—did you want to kill him?
Yu Chi had no thoughts about suspecting her friends behind their backs. It was better to just ask directly than to think about all these things.
【MortalRealmLittleFairyGrass】: Someone asked me to kill him. I didn’t accept, but I did have some things I wanted to ask him.
Yu Chi accepted this reason, although the reason was that she felt that 200 honeydew melons were not worth the number one on the ranking’s move.
Yu Chi: →_→
The next few days were very ordinary. Yu Chi happily made three meals a day for herself. If she made too much, she would send a portion to Li Feng and Zuo He.
The two of them would always send some small things over each time. It was a friendly interaction.
Actually, at the beginning, Li Feng had no intention of sending anything. It was not until he learned from somewhere that Zuo He would send her things every time that he became competitive and began to rack his brains.
Yu Chi clicked on today’s little gift from [GrumpyBro]—a pink hairpin.
He racked his brains and sent over a bit of his brain.
…Since he knew she was a girl, this kind of small item had never been lacking. Yu Chi expressionlessly placed the hairpin in the storage cabinet by the bed and decided to never use it.
It was just that the atmosphere on the forum had become more and more anxious these days. Yu Chi also found that after killing contaminated creatures, the amount of food dropped was getting less and less.
Most of them were some materials that were not of much use now. It was a loss to exchange them for Purification Crystals with the system, but if they were placed on the boat, they could only be piled up as useless items.
As a result, the price of food on the market was getting higher and higher. This didn’t have much effect on Yu Chi, but the anxiety of other players was almost visible to the naked eye.
The total number of people had dropped directly to 26,000. This was also partly due to [SurfingTheSea] fanning the flames.
Yu Chi watched the other party act like a social butterfly every day, posting everywhere in the chat channel and on the forum, and only felt that this guy’s time management was really strong.
After all, the number of contaminated creatures had been increasing these past few days, and the other party seemed to have never been offline.
Yu Chi had no opinion on this person now. She had also thought about whether to take the opportunity to kill the other party, but the risk was too great.
Currently, almost all the teleportation items on the market came from [SurfingTheSea]. You only needed to know the player’s screen name to teleport directly. Although there were restrictions, the ones that had been flowing out recently had become more and more perfect.
This meant that [Teleportation Item] was slowly being perfected. If she couldn’t kill him in one hit, Yu Chi would not take the initiative to go to him.
If this guy ran away in the middle of a fight, she would really not be able to sleep.
Of course, another reason was that Yu Chi felt that [SurfingTheSea]’s killing intent towards her was not strong. In such a long time, he had only found two people… and each of them was ranked lower than her on the strength ranking.
It felt like he would kill her if he thought of it, and leave her alone if he didn’t. It was a very laid-back way of doing things.
Perhaps he couldn’t find a stronger player? Yu Chi temporarily suppressed this matter in her heart and planned to deal with the other party directly if there was a suitable opportunity.
Putting this person aside, Yu Chi took out the [Space-Time Walkie-Talkie]. It had been a week since the last time. She didn’t know if the person who answered the phone this time would be someone else, or…
Her heart began to pound violently again. Yu Chi couldn’t help but miss the [Chat Logbook]. What was so good about making a call that she had to make a call!
Almost the moment she pressed the button, the other side connected.
Yu Chi’s eyes widened.
“Yu Chi?”
It was him.
Yu Chi: “I’ll give you 10 seconds to introduce yourself, including your district, level, and the state of your server!”
She heard the man’s voice with a smile and said without hesitation, “Hmm, name: Mu Gui, District 9, level 18, the natural disaster is a meteorite, and there are still 13,000 people left in the server.”
After saying that in one breath, before ten seconds were up, the man’s voice paused and then continued, “My talent item is a deck of poker cards, its function…”
“It’s up,” Yu Chi interrupted him. “Time’s up.”
The air fell silent. Yu Chi stared at the seconds ticking on the [Space-Time Walkie-Talkie], feeling that it would be good to just let it run out.
But listening to the man’s shallow breathing, she still spoke.
“I’m in District 1.”
“Okay,” the other side quickly replied. “I’ll come find you, okay?”
Yu Chi gritted her teeth. She knew that this guy had also gotten a cross-server item.
“No,” she refused directly.
“…Okay,” the other side was silent for two seconds, then agreed.
I don’t want to meet this guy when I’m weak, Yu Chi thought.
The 1 minute was up quickly.
Just as it was about to end, Yu Chi felt as if her whole person had come alive again. But then she heard the man say very calmly—
“…I miss you.”
Yu Chi: “Don’t.”
She replied coldly, and the time was just up.
“…”
“Ahhhhhh—”
Yu Chi grabbed her hair and began to jump around on the sofa like a cheerful monkey.
‘Is this guy sick?’
She stared at the wall, her mind a mess.
‘He still misses me after we broke up. How shameless!’

Turtle: It’s hard to know what shame is [Yellow heart][Yellow heart][Yellow heart].
Mini-theater:
No one knew that after he separated from Yu Chi, Mu Gui struggled every day. Under the torment of longing, one day he couldn’t stand it anymore… he fished a bunch of fish as substitutes.
As his deepest secret, he will destroy all these fish before he sees Yu Chi [Cat paw].
