Chapter 111: Buying Jade is pursuing Love

Li Chunhua initially thought she wouldn’t be able to get jades from the trade market, but her expectation was proved wrong because after her post, the number of messages in her inbox soared in just a few seconds, and after a minute, it reached a staggering number of 99999+.

She filtered the messages with the keyword ’jade’, and the numbers were still large, amounting to thousands.

Those that weren’t included were trying to strike a deal with her for other things, exchanging other gems and jewelry like rubies, diamonds, and many more, or just simply shamelessly begging.

Li Chunhua started opening the message one by one, and images of all kinds of accessories with different designs ranging from necklaces, earrings, Buddhist beads, hairpins, bangles, and rings greeted her.

Woah!

(✿〇∀〇)

Are players so rich with jade?

In the Tianmeng Continent, even a finger-sized jade was sold at a high price. The jadeite deposits and spirit stone mines were controlled by powerful clans, distinguished sects, and royal families, but here she was being offered like they were ordinary cabbages.

Li Chunhua was very happy with the opportunity and skimmed through these messages attached with pictures of jade. However, her face, which was wearing a smile, was replaced with confusion when she read the contents.

[Deathly Crows offers a pendant for 2kg of food items/ 2 liters of purified water/ 30 units of wood.]

[Deathly Crows]: This is my mother’s heirloom, a Pixiu Jadeite Pendant. It’s been passed down through the family for more than ten generations. If you could quote a good price, I would give it to you. Your girlfriend will surely like it.

(☉_ ☉)?

I have a girlfriend?

[A Dose of War offers a pair of earrings for 2 kg of food.]

[A Dose of War]: Brother Baozi, these are my sister’s earrings. They are carved by the best artisans in our city, and I can assure you that these silver butterfly-studded designs will charm your girl into accepting your marriage proposal.

(●_● )?

What marriage proposal?

[Bed and Roses offers a bangle for 3 kg of food/ 4 liters of drinkable water.]

[Bed and Roses]: Brother Baozi, besides the icy green jade bangle on my hand, I can also give you advice on how to chase a girl. Since you are my first customer, I’ll give you a discount. What do you say?

(?_?)

Chase a girl?

[Mr. Complicated offers nothing for something.]

[Mr. Complicated]: Girls have different tastes. Brother Baozi might not like accessories or jades. It’s better to give her something that you personally crafted and not bought. I am a jewelry designer and can sell you designs if you want.

ఠ _ ఠ?

What do I need that for?

This was not the last one. The majority of the messages mentioned her trying to pursue someone by using the jade as a gift and gave her advice regarding puppy love.

What are they talking about? Are these players hallucinating?

Li Chunhua was entirely confused. Her dumpling-like face scrunched up, racking her brains behind the players’ nonsense.

"Master, is there something wrong?" Both the array fanatics were standing behind her and asked after observing the changes in her expression.

Li Chunhua snapped out of her thoughts and adapted a business-like approach, but she couldn’t maintain it for so long because the player’s message kept getting weirder.

[Deathly Crows]: Thank you, Brother Baozi. Just send me a message if your family gains another little dumpling. I’ll craft trinkets made of flowers. Although it will end up being 99% ugly, it’s the thought that counts.

[A Dose of War]: Brother Baozi, I also offer after-services. I’ll be your virtual best man at your wedding and the godfather of your kids.

[Bed and Roses]: Brother Baozi, if you ever find yourself stuck in the pressure of marriage and want to vent your frustrations, I’m available for consultation. The fee can also be discussed.

(Ծ_Ծ)?

Even when Li Chunhua closed the chat and received the jades after exchanging food, her mind was still disturbed by the players’ messages, and even the joy of acquiring them at the lowest prices disappeared.

The players are weird today. She thought.

The transactions allowed her to gain 34 jade pendants, each not much bigger than half of her fist. She also bought 23 pairs of jade earrings as test subjects and 24 jade bangles in various shades of green. She couldn’t buy the rest because the sellers’ demands were high. They basically wanted her to give up half of her supplies.

She stored the items in her inventory first before inspecting the land of her territory, trying to debunk the principles behind the novice barrier. She hoped that the formation would not be complicated, or else her food-oriented mind would give up instantly.

Every array formation has a source of energy that serves as a core, the one that maintains the formation, and if it’s destroyed, the whole formation will lose its effect.

Having seen her walking outside the territory, the two array fanatics followed her behind with eager gazes, wanting to gain a thing or two lessons about arrays.

Li Chunhua fixed her attention on the barrier. She searched for a stone and picked it up before hitting the barrier.

Shua-

When the tiny stone hit the barrier, creating a tiny crack, the air rippled, and Siri, Little Mantou, and Little Ginseng noticed the transparent barrier wildly trembled, unstable, and there were even signs of it dispersing.

Their hearts momentarily stopped beating, and they couldn’t help but call out to their master, "Master!"

Li Chunhua scratched her scalp and apologized, "My bad."

In addition to what they saw, Li Chunhua also detected some kind of energy spread from four different directions to repair the crack, and if her observation was correct, it came from the four main wooden posts of her fences.

It took ten seconds for it to return to its original state, and Li Chunhua checked out the nearest post, which is located on their right, immediately.

Li Chunhua touched the wooden post, trying to sense that familiar blue energy, but she failed to. She threw another stone on the barrier, scaring Siri, Little Mantou, and Little Ginseng.

"Master, please stop doing that!"

"Hold on for a sec!"

A gap appeared, and Li Chunhua was finally able to locate the source of the energy. It was not from the posts but rather under them, buried in the earth.

Her mole skill activated, and she dug until the hole was seven feet deep and a meter wide. Afterwards, she saw a fist-sized stone embedded, resembling the territory crystal, radiating the same energy that fixed the cracks she made. It was embellished on a cube-shaped gray stone pillar buried deep.

Li Chunhua carefully stepped inside the hole and tried to touch the stone. Out of the blue, they heard the leaves of the bushes rustle, and five savage felines appeared from the trees and attacked them, including Li Chunhua, inside the hole.

Li Chunhua was caught in surprise and took a few steps back.

The weak chicken ginseng ran inside, leaving the three to fend off the monsters. It took only a minute for the three to effortlessly eliminate these nuisances.

Items and copper coins were dropped on the ground along with the consecutive system notifications. But in the midst of it, the three could hear the conspicuous cracking sound.

Li Chunhua slowly lowered her gaze on her foot, and so did Siri and Little Mantou.

The expressions on their faces were indescribable.

[System Notification: Your Novice Barrier is deactivated.]

Li Chunhua, Siri and Little Mantou: （ﾟДﾟ)（ﾟДﾟ)（ﾟДﾟ)

What?

(Little Baozi: Thank you for the 79 golden tickets last month, Chibi_Wolf38(❁´◡`❁) )
