The tree seemed to believe it wholeheartedly, and its gaze grew increasingly devout.

Remembering Gu Xixi's words about exchanging items, he quickly took off his tiger-skin skirt, removed the animal tooth necklace from his neck, and handed over the weapon in his hand, before bowing down again.

"Please, God, switch places with me."

The moment he took off his tiger-skin skirt, Gu Xixi almost went blind and immediately covered her eyes. Chu Feng immediately took off his own coat and threw it to the tree.

Xu Yi also took it off, but he wasn't as fast as Gu Xixi. So he took his own coat and started demonstrating how to tie it around his waist. Shu was also very smart. As soon as he saw Gu Xixi's actions, he immediately understood that the gods didn't like to see his body.

But he was really strong; he was the strongest warrior in the tribe!

So he immediately followed Xu Yi's example and covered his lower body, but because the clothes were not big enough, he could only cover the front.

Gu Xixi went back to the supermarket and got an extra-large lighter before returning. Firstly, it would last longer, and secondly, the tree was really huge; a small lighter would break after a few presses.

Therefore, an extra-large lighter is the most suitable.

"Eternal fire can only exist in the world of the gods, but I can grant you a fire that will never be extinguished... Tree, do you understand how to use the fire?"

Gu Xixi walked over and taught him how to use the lighter. Shu happily took it and started pressing it himself. With each press, a flame appeared, and he let out a loud "whoosh!" and excitedly danced around.

Gu Xixi then handed him an apple and a banana, saying, "These are edible wild fruits to fill your stomach. This is a gift from me. If you go back to your tribe and tell everyone that you can help me trade things, I can give you more food and fire."

The tree took the red apple first, put it in its mouth and took a bite. It was sweet and not astringent.

Zhao Jing peeled the banana, and his eyes lit up. If the toothless old people in the tribe could eat such soft and sweet food, wouldn't they not starve to death?

He immediately knelt down again, "I am willing, God, Xi! But how can I return to my tribe?"

Gu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this person was quite easy to fool.

She feigned mystery, pointed to the mist, and said, "Walk into the mist, and you can return to your tribe. Go, and don't forget the gods' instructions."

Tree stood up, took the candle, lighter, and the unfinished bananas and apples, and left. But it was only 7:15, and the fog did not dissipate after he left, not completely disappearing until 7:40.

Everyone then lowered their guard, and Gu Xixi shook her head, saying that being a charlatan was really tiring.

She looked at the tiger skin in Chu Feng's hand, reached out and touched it. She had never touched tiger fur before, and this was what it felt like; it was quite rough.

Everything must be sent for inspection and screening first.

Professor Wang arrived just then, took his things and left. Gu Xixi followed him. The building next to the supermarket, her neighbor's house, had been turned into a temporary screening office.

The other professors were also there. Breakfast was laid out on the large table in the dining room. Gu Xixi went to get a soy milk and a fried dough stick, and ate them while watching from the side.

The two baskets of things Shen Qingyan sent contained, just like before, some jewelry, sachets, handkerchiefs, and some bottles and jars. However, this time, they weren't vases or similar items; they looked more like sacrificial offerings...

In the end, the items Shen Qingyan sent that were of research value, namely the bottles and jars, as well as the ornaments with patterns and symbols, were all taken away.

Ten samples of the golden melon seeds and golden peanuts were taken away, and the rest were all hers, totaling more than two pounds.

Gu Xixi simply picked them up and took all the bones, leather skirt, and weapons given to her by the savage, intending to conduct further testing.

After finishing breakfast and having made many gains, Gu Xixi hummed a song and prepared to return to the villa. She had already arrived at the second trading plane, but she hadn't even finished learning military boxing, let alone self-defense skills.

I have to spend all my daytime practicing, and since we just moved to a new house, I need to buy a lot of things.

Her time is running out.

As she walked out, her phone vibrated. Chen Yu, who was standing to the side, was holding his own phone and grinning foolishly. "Little boss, I bet your auction item transaction is complete and the money has arrived."

Gu Xixi opened her phone and saw that the money had indeed arrived via text message.

There was also a detailed breakdown of the accounts sent by Chen Mo, which included the auction price, handling fees, taxes, and final proceeds.

Normally, auctions require a commission, which is charged by the auction house. The standard rate is 10% to 20%, but she had a discount from Chen Mo, so she only had to pay 5%.

Her pastel pearls sold for 520 million PUBG, and all the white pearls sold for 420 million PUBG, totaling 940 million PUBG, or 6580 million RMB (based on an exchange rate of 7 RMB).

The auction house commission was 329 million yuan, and the storage fee, handling fee, tender document fee, announcement fee, appraisal fee, insurance fee, etc. amounted to 400 million yuan.

There is also a 20% personal income tax, so he received 4944 million yuan.

Adding the money from selling those other items, Gu Xixi now has a total of over 150 million in her account. She shook her head and sighed as she counted the zeros in her account.

She still had more than two pounds of golden melon seeds in her hand... She should just keep the golden melon seeds; she doesn't need to exchange them for money now, as she already has more savings than she can spend.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you happy? It's fifty million in one go. Even I, a rich second-generation, would be excited." Chen Yu asked, puzzled. The others also looked over with concern.

Gu Xixi shook her head again, "It's nothing, it's just that I used to really like money, but now that my bank account is full, it doesn't seem so special anymore. So this is what it's like to be a billionaire."

As she spoke, she looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and continued, echoing a famous quote, "Money is just a string of boring numbers, it's meaningless."

Everyone:...

Why did they suddenly want to beat Gu Xixi to death?

Chen Yu gave her a thumbs up, "Boss is awesome, boss is awesome! And boss, my commission, hehe."

Gu Xixi did a quick calculation and immediately transferred a round number of 50 yuan to him, saying, "Little Yu, if you follow Sister Xi, you'll eat nine meals a day."

"Yes, yes, I'd love to be stuffed! Thank you, boss. How about we go out for a nice meal tonight? It's on you, boss."

Chen Yu's suggestion made sense to Gu Xixi.

“Okay, you’re a rich kid, you’re best at eating, drinking and having fun. You pick the place, we’ll go after get off work tonight.” Gu Xixi agreed generously again. Now that she had money, it was time for her parents and herself to live a good life.

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away!" Chen Yu took out his phone and started making contacts, and everyone got back into the car.

Back at the villa, Gu Xixi immediately threw herself into practice, only coming out after being beaten into submission again.

When she changed her clothes and came downstairs, her parents had already changed into very formal clothes, all of which were brand new.

“Xixi, we heard from Xiaoyu that we’re having a big dinner tonight. Is this outfit okay? Does it look good? Your dad has no taste, I don’t trust him. You tell me.”

Mother Gu was very happy; her eyes were filled with joy.

Gu's father rolled his eyes. He had excellent eyesight. Gu Xixi nodded after observing carefully, "Mom, this set is indeed good. It's simple, elegant, and comfortable."

She felt a warmth in her heart; it was so nice to have a family like this.

Jiang Xi, Chen Kaishun, Chu Feng, Zhao Jing, Xu Yi, and their family of three set off. Because of Gu's father's illness, Chen Yu booked a well-known private restaurant specializing in medicinal cuisine.

With an average spending of around 10000 yuan per person, many wealthy people choose to subscribe to monthly food delivery services.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, its antique and exquisite decor immediately told everyone that it was indeed very expensive. Chen Yu led the way, saying, "Uncle, Auntie, this family..."

"Gu Lao Er, what are you doing here? Is Xixi getting married and you're here to discuss the wedding?"
