EBE Chapter 3 Selling Gold Jewelry
Chapter 3 Selling Gold Jewelry
Xiao Jiu looked around at all these people and found it very strange. She was wearing clothes made by her fourth sister. Although they were in an ancient style, they were not unusual in this strange world. What were they talking about? What was a shooting star?
She looked up at the sky like them, and saw twinkling stars, like splashes of water from a river, flying out from the Milky Way, streaking across the deep blue night sky, and silently falling northwards—it was a dreamlike sight.
For a moment, Xiao Jiu was also stunned. Some people were looking at the scenery, while others were looking at the people in the scenery.
"That girl is so pretty, she looks like a fairy!"
"It's so beautiful! Coming here to see the shooting stars today was definitely the right decision, I actually ran into such a beautiful woman."
The two girls next to her kept glancing up at Xiao Jiu, then looking down and whispering to each other, looking extremely excited.
"Little Radish, we've arrived in another world. What should we do next?" Xiao Jiu silently communicated with Little Radish in her mind.
"Let me check what we need to do in this world," Little Carrot said, proving somewhat useful. "I found out that everyone in this world needs an ID card, but we're outsiders. Luckily, the Heavenly Dao recognizes us, so I secretly got you one. Without an ID card, you can't do anything."
Xiao Jiu has absolutely no understanding of this world; whatever Xiao Luobo says goes. As for her ID card, Xiao Luobo has already gotten one for her, so she doesn't need to worry about it.
"We need to find a place to stay tonight, and tomorrow we'll sell one of the gold ornaments His Highness gave you, get some money, buy a cell phone, rent a place, and then use the phone to learn about the world."
Don't let Little Radish's sweet, childlike voice fool you; he's incredibly reliable. That's one of the reasons why the Fox Emperor and the others were willing to let Little Nine come to this other world alone. With Little Radish around, Little Nine won't be completely clueless.
In this unfamiliar world, Xiao Jiu only has one spiritual plant, Little Radish, whom she can trust. Whatever it says goes. If she wants to find a place to stay for the night, this place seems pretty good. With so many people here, she can sit here for the night without any problem.
After all, back when I was cultivating, I often cultivated for months or even years without rest, and it wasn't a problem then. "Little Radish, you said this other world doesn't even have spiritual energy, how am I supposed to cultivate?"
Xiao Jiu found a place to sit down, completely oblivious to her status as a beautiful woman. What kind of beauty is so down-to-earth? "Let me look around. When I came to this world, I think I awakened a part of my inheritance. Let me see if there are any methods for cultivating in another world in my inheritance."
Since entering the other world, Little Radish felt that something had entered its mind, but it had not fully absorbed it. It probably wasn't the right time yet. Cultivation is all about timing; if the time isn't right, it can't comprehend it no matter what.
"I've got it! We can cultivate by relying on the affection value, or love, of people in this other world." Little Radish really felt that their opportunity lay in this other world. Otherwise, they wouldn't have had no inheritance in Qingqiu for hundreds of years, but would have obtained a portion of the inheritance as soon as they arrived in this other world.
"Love? How can one person love another person for no reason? It's so difficult." Xiao Jiu felt that she definitely couldn't do it. How could one person love another person for no reason?
"Oh dear, I don't know how to describe it to you either. Let's just figure it out first. I don't understand this thing either." Little Radish is just a spiritual plant, and it doesn't understand how to explain human love to Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu thought about it and agreed. She could figure it out slowly and maybe she would succeed. Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. Anyway, she had enough things to live comfortably for a while.
Xiao Jiu felt uncomfortable on the ground, so she went up to a tree. She thought she could just close her eyes and rest for the night, but she actually fell asleep leaning against the tree. Could it be that she has lost her spiritual power and has become just like an ordinary person, needing to rest at night?
When Xiao Jiu woke up in the morning, she found that the mountain, which had been so crowded yesterday, was now deserted. It turned out that some people had left after watching the meteor shower, and others had camped on the mountaintop and had all gone down the mountain when they woke up in the morning.
Xiao Jiu stretched and jumped down from the tree. Although her lifestyle was similar to that of an ordinary person, her physical fitness was still much better than that of an ordinary person.
While Xiao Jiu was asleep, Little Radish prepared all the necessary documents for Xiao Jiu in this world, so now Xiao Jiu can be considered an ordinary person with all the required documents.
"We pawned the gold jewelry first, and then went to have breakfast." Little Radish is already a mature little housekeeper. It can take care of Xiao Jiu by itself when no one else is around.
Little Radish guided Xiao Jiu to the largest gold shop in H City. This was a relatively safe shop that Little Radish had checked, as it wouldn't discriminate against people or rip off honest folks.
Xiao Jiu took off the two-kilogram gold bracelet from her hand. Since she was going to sell it, she might as well sell a big one, so that it would last her a long time.
The jewelry store clerk weighed her gold bracelet and then called an appraiser to examine it. It was confirmed to be genuine gold. The current price of gold is 545 yuan per gram, so two kilograms of gold would be worth 109 million yuan. Yesterday, Xiao Luobo opened a bank account for Xiao Jiu, so the money can be deposited directly into the account – extremely convenient! (Gold price is based on the current rate.)
Following Xiao Luobo's directions, Xiao Jiu took her bank card to a mobile phone store and bought a relatively cost-effective phone for 8,000 yuan. With the phone, Xiao Luobo taught Xiao Jiu to download chat and payment apps, helped her register a new account, and linked her bank card so she could make payments with her phone.
After finishing everything, Xiao Jiu's stomach was rumbling. It was Xiao Jiu's first time in the modern world, and she was curious about everything here. She thought she should fill her stomach first, so Xiao Luobo led her to a food street.
Seeing so many delicious foods, Xiao Jiu didn't know what to choose, so she simply bought one of everything to try. If she got too full, she could just eat a pill made by her seventh brother to help with digestion.
Xiao Jiu was only thinking about eating delicious food and didn't notice the way other people were looking at her. Some even followed her around and tried a lot of things. Because of Xiao Jiu, the vendors' businesses became even more popular.
Some people filmed it and posted it online, saying, "#I ran into a fairy-like lady, I didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of startling the beauty#"
A video went viral, with many people drooling over it in the comments and even urging the creator to ask the girl for her contact information.
Little Jiu was unaware of all this. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, Little Radish was preparing to take her to find a place to stay. It had already shortlisted several rental properties last night. They didn't have enough cash on hand to buy a decent house right now, so they would consider buying a house after they earned more money.
As for all that gold jewelry, they can keep it as a backup; they can't rely on that forever. They need to have a job to make a living; they don't know how long they'll be living here.
