Mu Xue and Mu Xue

The ice and snow elements that Mu Xue possesses are quite rare in the realm of elements.

Although it is not as rare as space and time, it is definitely not an element that can be seen everywhere.

Now, she is in this yellow sand desert that is scorched by the scorching sun all year round and scorching in summer. The scorching sun shines down without any obstruction. When she looks outside in the room on the 87th floor, she can feel the hot air.

Looking at the scorching heat, an idea suddenly struck Mu Xue: Why not try selling ice cubes here? Ice cubes would surely be very popular in this scorching heat.

"Oh, forget it. I'd better go to the trading place and the place where I can receive tasks first." After thinking about it, Mu Xue decided to find out the situation of this place first.

Thinking of this, she turned over and sat up from the bed, tidied her clothes quickly, opened the door, and walked alone into the unknown outside.

As far as she knew, the trading place and the place to receive tasks were both in the open space in the middle of the first floor.

However, Mu Xue was a complete road idiot. Even with a simple map in her hand, the intricate passages and similar buildings still made her dizzy.

Along the way, she walked and stopped, asking passers-by from time to time. It took her a long time before she finally found the place she had been looking for for a long time.

The trading place was bustling with activity, and the scene looked just like a market in a country town.

The ground was densely packed with various stalls, and the stall owners were shouting at the top of their lungs, the shouts coming one after another intertwined together.

There are several large shops around the stalls. The shop signs sway gently in the breeze, as if attracting passers-by.

"Come and look, come and look! Freshly-baked cooling pills! One cools your body, two cools your mind, and three cools you down! Come and look, come and look!" A very distinctive hawking voice came into Mu Xue's ears, and her attention was instantly attracted by a man selling pills.

So she walked straight towards the stall.

There was a shabby little table in front of the man, with a few quaint bottles neatly placed on the table. In front of the bottles stood a small wooden sign with the words "100 points per sign" written in eye-catching fonts.

Mu Xue stood in front of the stall, frowning slightly, lost in thought.

She silently calculated in her mind, is this 100 points Qingliang Pill expensive? Just as she was still hesitating, suddenly, a group of people rushed towards this side like a tide.

Mu Xue thought to herself that something was wrong, and with her keen intuition, she immediately dodged to the side.

The crowd immediately surrounded the stall, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside, making it impossible to get through. Then, from inside, eager cries of "Boss, give me 10 pills!" "Boss, give me 20 pills!" It seemed that these cooling pills were indeed very popular in this scorching place.

Mu Xue shook her head helplessly and continued walking forward.

Not far away, she passed by a vegetable stall.

The stalls are filled with all kinds of fresh vegetables, including emerald greens, red tomatoes, and long beans, which look very tempting.

Moreover, the price of vegetables here was lower than she had imagined, generally 1-3 points per kilogram.

"Vegetables are so cheap. It seems that it is really hard to earn points." Mu Xue muttered to herself in her heart, but she did not stop and walked forward again.

Along the way, she passed by many stalls of all kinds.

There are people selling hairpins, which are exquisitely made and have various shapes. The price of one hairpin ranges from 20 to 35 points. There are also people selling fruits, and the prices of most fruits are similar to those of vegetables, which are very affordable.

However, there is one fruit that stands out from the crowd: the pear.

Pears were actually sold one by one, with a price of 5-10 points each, which made Mu Xue feel very novel.

Before she knew it, she came to a house and stopped involuntarily.

She looked up and saw a striking plaque hanging above the house: [Mi Xue Bing Cheng].

Mu Xue looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar sign, and a hint of doubt flashed through her mind, but she didn't think much about it. With curiosity, she pushed open the door and walked in.

With curiosity and anticipation, Mu Xue pushed open the door of the shop that read "Mi Xue Bing Cheng".

The door hinges made a slight sound as they turned, and before she could fully see the store's furnishings, a slightly impatient voice reached her ears: "Don't come, the ice is sold out. If you want it, go buy it somewhere else." The voice seemed to carry the coolness of the store and went straight into her ears.

Mu Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired old man sitting steadily in the main hall of the store. The abacus beads in his hand were clacking, his eyes fixed on the abacus without raising his head. It seemed that he was accustomed to every customer who came into the store, and his tone was perfunctory.

Mu Xue was not affected by the old man's attitude. Her eyes were firmly attracted by a price list hanging behind the old man.

The writing on the table was clear, listing the prices of various ice-related goods and services:

Ice Cubes: 100 points/catties

Ice bath 80 points/time

……

All the items and services sold in the store revolve around ice.

This really surprised Mu Xue. She had thought that even if ice was precious in this desert, its price would not be so high.

But the price list in front of him clearly showed that the ice here was very expensive.

Recalling the old man at the front desk’s words, “The ice cubes are sold out,” it’s not difficult to infer that this store’s business is quite booming.

Mu Xue stayed in the store for a short while, thinking to herself.

She didn't pay much attention to the old man, turned around and left the store.

Afterwards, she visited several shops in the trading place.

Along the way, she discovered an interesting phenomenon. There were very few shops selling ice cubes, and most of the shops were selling all kinds of rare treasures. Those treasures emitting strange light filled the shelves, but Mu Xue had no intention of appreciating them.

She paid special attention to the few shops selling ice cubes. She was shocked to find that the prices of ice cubes in these shops were much more expensive than those in [Mi Xue Bing Cheng]. This made her more certain of the vague idea in her mind.

In one of the shops, Mu Xue also saw a temperature control array.

The magic circle was placed in an exquisite crystal box, emitting a mysterious light, and must have a powerful cooling effect.

However, when she saw the thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on the price tag, she couldn't help but be shocked. Such a high price was simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition, there is also the cooling talisman. This thing is small and portable, but its price is comparable to the cooling pills I saw at the market before.

After this exploration, Mu Xue has realized that in this scorching hot desert, any items or services that can relieve the heat have considerable sales and are not cheap.

At this moment, a light seemed to flash in her mind, and the path to getting rich gradually became clear.

Before she knew it, Mu Xue had been strolling around the trading place until noon.

The sun is high in the sky, and the scorching sunlight shines on the earth, making people feel even hotter.

Mu Xue thought, since she was already here and close to the place where she would receive the mission, it wouldn't hurt to go there and take a look.

So, she took a short rest and then walked towards the place where she would receive the task.

This time, the process of finding the destination did not take her too long, because the place where she received the task was closely connected to the trading place. Not long after walking, Mu Xue arrived at that place.

All I saw before me was a bustling scene with huge crowds of people. The place where I received the mission was a magnificent big house. Under the eaves hung a huge plaque with the words "Mission Hall" written on it in bold and powerful characters.

Mu Xue took a deep breath and stepped into the door of the [Mission Hall] with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Inside the hall, several long tables were neatly arranged, and each table was surrounded by people.

Some stood at the table, waving mission scrolls and shouting, "The team is short of people. We need someone with strong defensive abilities. Sign up now! The rewards are generous!" Others gathered in groups of three or five, discussing the difficulty and rewards of various missions. "Mission 64, anyone? It's dangerous, but the rewards are very tempting!"
