Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Looking up at Xixi, the salt was white, with uniform grains, and had no salty or fishy smell like inland salt. It looked just like the table salt sold in supermarkets in my previous life.

"How much is this?" Nuannuan asked. "Give me two cans! Xixi, you want two cans too? If we wait any longer, they might be gone, so we have to hurry!"

"Uh...hehe...okay...okay..." Xixi looked embarrassed. She had no money! No money at all! She was so poor that all she had left was debt!

"One high-grade crystal per jar!" the stall owner said casually.

His stall was near the front. The two little females arrived not late, but not too early either. Several people had asked about the price before them, but without exception, they were all shocked by the price. After touching it again and again, they finally put the salt shaker down.

He wasn't surprised by this, after all, when they came to the south last time, the price was only 2 mid-grade crystals, but this time it was fifty times higher, which was indeed a bit too much.

However, they are not asking for exorbitant prices. As the saying goes, rising costs and decreasing supply naturally lead to higher prices. This is a natural law. Otherwise, wouldn't they be losing money on this trip?

"So expensive?" Nuannuan exclaimed in surprise, nearly dropping the salt shaker in her hand. Luckily, Xixi reacted quickly and caught it for her.

Xixi was unaware of the details and silently calculated the price. In her previous life, salt was an essential commodity, costing about ten yuan a bag, which was 250 grams, or half a jin. This jar of salt was about two jin, so according to the price in her previous life, it would cost forty yuan.

In the Beast World Continent, beast robes are the cheapest, costing only five low-grade crystals for a small one. However, the dresses worn by females as inner garments are usually very expensive, costing one or two high-grade crystals each!

According to Nuannuan, the fabric she was wearing was extremely rare, a product of the Central Continent. If it were to circulate to their side, it would be worth at least twenty high-grade crystals.

Such material was readily available on Taobao in my previous life, and could be bought for five or six hundred yuan.

If you convert it this way, a jar of refined salt and a top-grade crystal aren't actually that expensive!

Of course, this is in comparison to the price in the previous life and the price of traveling merchants. But if compared to the price of five low-grade crystals for a jar of coarse salt in the inland areas, it is really too expensive!

So, Nuannuan reluctantly put down the jar of fine salt, took a deep breath, and decided to visit the next stall.

"Aren't you going to buy it?" Xixi could tell that Nuannuan really wanted it, since no one likes to eat coarse salt that is both bitter and astringent.

"Too expensive!" Nuannuan exclaimed in anguish. "All the males in the family are out now, and we don't even know if they'll ever come back. We have to be careful with the money we have! It's not like we can't eat coarse salt, but it's really unwise to waste a high-grade crystal just for the sake of satisfying our cravings!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xixi again, "You're different. You just earned so much money, plus Fatty Orange's dowry, you're practically rolling in money. Buying a few bottles is definitely no problem for you!"

In Nuannuan's opinion, Xixi pays great attention to the quality of life; otherwise, she wouldn't have complained that the barbecue wasn't tasty and would have personally prepared some seasonings.

Now that there is readily available refined salt, Xixi will definitely buy it!

"Heh...hehe...no rush, no rush, let's see!" Xixi chuckled awkwardly, wondering how to tell the other person that she was not only not rich, but penniless.

To be honest, she really wanted to buy this refined salt. Not only did she want to buy some for herself, but she also wanted to buy some to give to Nuannuan. The little girl had been experiencing severe morning sickness recently, and eating some refined salt should help her a lot!

But she had no money! She really had no money!

It's true what they say, even a hero can be brought down by a penny!

"Um... do you think if I just leave like this, what if customers come and can't find me?" Yes, she shouldn't have come. Why bother browsing the stalls if she has no money? She should be seizing the opportunity to make money!

Unexpectedly, Nuannuan's words completely dampened her spirits.

"Don't worry, whenever traveling merchants come, everyone in our tribe, young and old, male and female, who can come will come. As for the others, they have to take a backseat. No one will even bother with their mental well-being... Besides, didn't the low-end club open? Even if they're in a hurry, they'll go there directly. They won't spend thirty high-grade crystals to come here!"

Xixi: "..." You're good at giving advice!

"There are also a lot of jewelry over there, all sparkly and beautiful! It's said to be made by the mermaids of the East Sea using their own tears and scales, and it reflects a dazzling light when the sun shines on it!" With that, Nuannuan pulled Xixi to the next stall.

Meanwhile, Xixi was having a conversation with Yuanmeng in her mind, "Yuanmeng, could you arrange for some refined salt?"

[Yes!] Without hesitation, Yuanmeng immediately agreed. [Next time the host gives birth, ten jars of refined salt will be given as a gift!]

"Yuanmeng, why have you suddenly changed your personality?" She remembered that this guy was quite stingy, and she thought she would have to spend a lot of time explaining to him!

[Warm Reminder for Fulfilling Dreams: System rewards are calculated based on the quality of each offspring and the host's wishes!]

So, the reason she received ten pieces of everyday clothing was because she often complained that the animal robes were ugly during that period.

The first-aid kit is exactly what she wants to do to protect Fatty Orange and prevent him from being injured and unable to be healed.

As for the composite crossbow, it stemmed from her own weak strength and her urgent desire to seek ways to protect herself.

Therefore, everything the system rewarded her with was exactly what she needed!

Realizing this, Xixi exclaimed excitedly, "Yuanmeng, you're so kind! You should have told me sooner! I've been secretly complaining about you for so long!"

【Hmph!】 This sound was not a cold, mechanical one; Xixi could even detect a hint of arrogance in it.

The longer you spend with this system, the more human-like it seems to become.

She couldn't help but chuckle softly before Xixi stepped forward.

Xixi's unusual behavior caught Nuannuan's attention, and she asked in confusion, "What are you standing there grinning like an idiot for?" What had she just said? Mermaids, jewelry. Could it be that Xixi likes these things?

"Heh...no...it's nothing, there's a little snake in my arms, it's squirming and it's kind of itchy!" Xixi patted her chest, suppressing the excitement in her heart.

The little white snake, suddenly called out, darted out, and a look of confusion flashed across its clean white head, almost like a human.

He didn't twist it just now!

Oh, no, he twisted it before. Maybe the little female has a longer reaction time, so she only felt it then?

Compared to the little white snake's confusion, Nuannuan's reaction was much stronger; her voice trembled as she screamed in a high-pitched voice, "Snake~~~ Snake~~~ There's a snake~~~"

The roar instantly cleared the surrounding area, and countless lynxes scattered and fled, regardless of whether they were male or female.

After all, snakes have always been the natural enemy of cats; if bitten, they will surely die!
