"Really? You agreed to it so easily?" Gu Xixi was very happy. She didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily, and it felt unreal.

Seeing her happy, Emerald couldn't help but feel happy too, and only replied, "It wasn't that easy... That's not important. Load the supplies and water onto the truck, and you'll have dinner with me."

When the word "accompany" was uttered, Jade paused for a moment.

In the past, she would never have uttered words that so clearly revealed her needs, but after spending so much time with Gu Xixi, she's almost developed the characteristics of an ancient Earthling.

"Okay, okay." Gu Xixi now felt that she would do anything Jade asked of her. "But I will be away from time to time from now on, so don't miss me too much. Our transaction will proceed as normal."

Jade didn't answer, but just gave her a "hmm" look while eating her food.

Gu Xixi had been eating pre-cooked meals for several days. Although she had eaten breakfast, she could still eat the hot and delicious food in front of her.

She finished eating with Emerald, who then left with the supplies. When the second table of dishes was served, Gu Xixi knew that Zhang Chunhua, the female protagonist of a farming novel, was about to arrive.

Of all her trading partners, these two are the only two big-gluttonous girls.

Sure enough, Ms. Zhang Chunhua was now wearing new clothes and embroidered shoes, her hair was neatly combed and styled with hair oil, making her look exceptionally refined.

Although it was just fine cotton fabric, it was still a relatively expensive item for an average family. According to the timeline in the novel, Zhang Chunhua had only been running her own business for less than half a year, yet she had already gone from being the poorest person in the village to the richest.

At the beginning, she was in a slump and weighed at least 200 pounds, but now she looks like she weighs only 150 or 160 pounds... Her energy and spirit have improved a lot.

"Gu Xixi, you're finally back. It's no fun delivering goods without you here." Zhang Chunhua emerged from the fog and plopped down on a stone bench, crossing her legs.

“Our harvests are always great. I’ve led the whole village to make a lot of money, and even the neighboring villages are now able to eat their fill. Everyone is begging to rent their land to me.”

If she rents this land to her and cultivates it using modern methods, the commission she receives will be far higher than the entire previous year's harvest, plus the additional wages for renting the land. Who wouldn't be envious?

"You have no idea how much I've turned my life around in just six months. Now we have a new house, we've bought fifty acres of prime farmland, all my sons are in private school, and we still have some savings. Life is wonderful."

"Congratulations! By the way, how's the herb cultivation going?" Gu Xixi asked again.

Zhang Chunhua quickly stopped what she was doing and walked into the mist. "Some of the herbs are already as tall as an arm, so I dug up a few of each kind and brought them over for you to see."

She knew that Gu Xixi's request for her to plant medicinal herbs was definitely not just a simple matter of planting; there must be other information she didn't know. But whatever the purpose, the medicinal herbs in the field were growing as lushly as weeds, so she figured these few plants would lighten the load on the land.

If Gu Xixi needs to take a look, then it'll be a win.

Chu Feng immediately arranged for someone to take away all the herbs from the tricycle that Zhang Chunhua had just brought over. Zhang Chunhua also stopped eating, still wanting more. "I'm better now. Hurry up and put the food away. Once a month is enough for me."

Eating too much will ruin your diet.

She quickly left the table, drove the large truck to the other side to pick up goods, truck after truck, drenched in sweat, but full of vitality.

Gu Xixi felt a positive and uplifting energy as she looked at Zhang Chunhua. It was good that Zhang Chunhua was doing well in that world.

Chu Feng stood behind Gu Xixi and said, "The Mermaid King will definitely be here soon. He and Chen Yu have been arguing for days, and he might take it out on you. Be careful."

"Why?" Gu Xixi's first reaction was, "Did the Mermaid King slap Chen Yu across the face again?"

Otherwise, what would these two be arguing about?

"When you weren't here the day before yesterday, the Mermaid King brought the Sun for repairs and accidentally read Chen Yu's memories. He got angry after seeing something and called Chen Yu a vulgar person. Chen Yu felt that the Mermaid King had invaded his privacy, so the two of them started arguing. Fortunately, it didn't affect business dealings."

After Chu Feng explained, Gu Xixi felt it was even more outrageous.

But both of them make a valid point, so... what should she do?

"Chen Yu received a reprimand as a result," Chu Feng added. "If his business hadn't been spared from disruption, he probably would have been punished."

Zhang Chunhua left after loading the last truckload of supplies. As soon as she left, the Mermaid King appeared. Even through the hazy mist, Gu Xixi could sense his gloomy expression.

"I heard you had a fight with my assistant, Your Majesty the Mermaid Queen? You are the Pope with unparalleled beauty, why are you arguing with a vulgar human?"

Gu Xixi's main approach was to praise him; at least you wouldn't hit someone who's smiling.

The Mermaid King's expression did indeed improve, his arrogance now softened with a hint of kindness. His tone remained haughty, "Of course, I'm not angry anymore. Is my sun fixed yet?"

"It's fixed." Chu Feng brought over a cart with three "suns" inside. He also handed Gu Xixi a list with the items he needed from the Mermaid King listed in order.

Fish specimens, underwater plant specimens, high-resolution underwater photos, shipwrecks or building ruins... a wide variety of items.

The Mermaid King returned with the cart and didn't come back for a long time. He was holding a box and handed it directly to Gu Xixi. "This is a gift I gave you alone. It's a dress made of mermaid silk."

A dress made of silk!

My goodness, this is beyond priceless, it's a legendary treasure! Gu Xixi solemnly accepted it, "Your Majesty, this is far too precious. I really love it and will cherish it forever."

She directly replaced her family heirloom with this set of silk dress.

The Mermaid King's proud face showed a hint of a smile. "It's good that you cherish it. Is there anything else you need to trade with me? Although I can't think of anything right now, you can owe me for now."

The Mermaid King was very understanding. He looked at the list in Gu Xixi's hand and then stretched out his hand, "Let me see it."

"These are all the items I need. Take your pick, Your Majesty the Great Mermaid King." Gu Xixi fawned over the items, and the Mermaid King grunted in response. After looking at them, he merely smiled contemptuously, seemingly not finding it difficult at all. "The shipwrecks are fine. We've discovered quite a few shipwrecks over the years."

He had everything she wanted, but a sunken ship was the easiest to maneuver.

“Alright, let’s sink the ship then.” Gu Xixi drew a red circle on it, and the Mermaid King hummed in agreement. “Today is our Mermaid Clan’s song and dance party. As the Mermaid King, I cannot leave for too long. I’ll take my leave now.”

"You walk slowly."

After seeing off the last trading partner, Gu Xixi sighed. Fortunately, he didn't mention Chen Yu, so she didn't have to waste brain cells thinking of something to say.

Professor Wei and Professor Wang all came out of the supermarket and surrounded Gu Xixi, all staring at the box in her hand.
