Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Who Knew Rocks Could Be So Valuable

Su Shu hesitated for a moment before asking him where in City C one could find a jewelry processing market.

Mr. Yu was not very clear about this matter, but since his family was rooted in City C, and because it was her issue, he took extra care, saying he would inquire around to see who knew. Five minutes later, he called, saying there seemed to be an antique and relics market on the north side of the city, where she could take a look.

Half an hour later, they reached the antique market.

Before arriving, she thought a place like this would be quiet, but to her surprise, after reaching there, the market was bustling with people coming and going. In the middle, a row of stalls was set up, and small shops on either side, one after the other, were open for business.

After wandering around and looking, she entered a small shop.

Half an hour later, Su Shu walked out, her entire state somewhat dazed.

A mere piece of broken rock could be valued starting from five million?!

The shop owner said, “Miss, if you are intent on selling, make sure to come to my place first. We can further discuss the price.”

“Okay.”

…

In the afternoon, before the earthquake, Su Shu had arranged shipments from Peng Village in advance. Mr. Yu personally came to deliver them.

Seeing Su Shu waiting for him, Mr. Yu rushed over enthusiastically to greet her, his words filled with gratitude for her actions in Peng Village. Amid adversity, true relationships are revealed, and Mr. Yu’s attitude towards Su Shu was even better than before.

This time, not only did he bring the goods she had ordered, but he also brought an extra twenty bags of Lake Rice from his own grain shop to express his thanks.

Su Shu refused, but he was not pleased, and without further ado, he let his men unload them into the storage and left, not even allowing Su Shu the chance to decline.

Seeing this, Su Shu could only express her profound thanks.

When Mr. Yu was leaving, he said, “Miss Su, if you need anything in the future, just come to my shop. I guarantee to give you the most reliable price.”

“Alright, I’ll remember that. Drive carefully on your way back.”

“Don’t worry.”

After Mr. Yu and his group had left, Su Shu checked all the items, live ones, dried vegetables… Thankfully, she had shipped some of the goods earlier before the earthquake, otherwise, all would be lost.

She habitually wanted to store all these items in the space, but just as she was about to lift her hand to transfer the items, she suddenly remembered the obnoxious snake causing havoc in her space.

These chickens, ducks, and geese, once taken in, wouldn’t they all just be devoured by that starving Little Snake King?

After hesitating for a while, she temporarily put down her plan.

If it weren’t for the Little Red Snake, all these chickens and ducks could be free-ranging in the space; she could build nests for them there once she had cleared some space.

Since the Red Snake had been taken into the space, it had wreaked havoc on her provisions, not to mention the live animals. Would it not jubilantly leap high and chase after them?

It had given her a gem that could be valued at five million starting. By the same estimation, even if it devoured all the provisions she had stored in the space, it would be enough.

Now the gem was valuable, but soon, food would become more expensive than gold.

Given its reckless behavior, once the Apocalypse broke out, would her whole family end up starving?

It was necessary to have a good talk with it.

She felt that the Little Red Snake had a sense of spirit communication, whether through good bargaining or coercion and bribes.

In any case, it absolutely could no longer touch her stored food.

Otherwise, she would chop it up and make a snake soup!

Preventing it from touching her stuff meant she had to ensure it was well-fed, so Su Shu took Xiao’ai to a pet shop, bought a small cage of mice specifically for feeding snakes from the shop owner who knew how to raise snakes, and after Xiao’ai fell asleep that night, she entered the space and had a stern talk (unilaterally intimidating and bribing) with the Little Red Snake.

Whether it understood her or not, the core idea was simple: you absolutely must not touch my food again. I will meet your daily needs. If you touch my chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, grains, or vegetables, I will be very unhappy with you.

As for how unhappy, that would depend on her mood.

The Little Red Snake couldn’t leave the space, and she couldn’t take it out, so since they needed to coexist for a long time, they would have to live together peacefully for harmonious development.
