Start a mysterious island

The cashier in work clothes scanned the last item, then glanced at the number displayed on the monitor and said, "A total of one thousand two hundred and sixty-five yuan."

Lin Li took out his mobile phone from his pocket, paid the bill, and left the supermarket carrying several large bags full of things.

The cashier next door looked at Lin Li leaving and asked the cashier helping Lin Li check out, "Xiao Zhao, if I remember correctly, this is the fifth time that person has bought something in a row."

"Yes! This is the fifth time, and each time I buy at least a thousand yuan worth of stuff." replied the cashier who helped Lin Li check out.

After leaving home, Lin Li made five trips to the large supermarket to buy a lot of things, which was enough to replenish the previously consumed reserve rations.

When Lin Li finished paying and came out of the supermarket carrying several large bags full of things, all the bags in his hands disappeared in an instant.

"It's finally done. Next, I'll go to the bookstore to see if there are any new interesting comics on the shelves."

Lin Li came to the place where he parked his car. When he opened the door and got in the car, and was about to start the car and go to the bookstore, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

"The money has arrived!" Lin Li took out his mobile phone and found that it was a message from the bank.

After looking at the amount of money he had received, he saw a total of 30,000 yuan. He immediately knew that this was the money he had received yesterday from the task of destroying the underground black market.

I don’t know why, but this time I completed the task and the payment was much slower than before.

Lin Li put away his phone and thought to himself, "Forget it, although the settlement speed is a bit slow this time, the money has actually arrived, so there is no need to worry too much."

"Boom..."

The roar of the car sounded, and the silver-white van moved from the parking space, and then drove in an orderly manner towards the intersection ahead.

…………

Spiritual world, Dongwu City.

Not long after the morning sun rose, the golden sunshine enveloped the entire city.

"twitter……"

A group of birds flew across the sky, leaving behind a series of crisp and sweet bird calls.

In a residential area where many villas are being built, because it was still early, not all the construction workers to build the villas were present, so the construction sites could not start immediately.

"Do you know when that house was built?" The construction worker waiting for the foreman to arrive pointed to a gorgeous villa across the street and asked the workers around him.

"I heard it was built the year before last." Another construction worker replied.

"It was built the year before last. It was quite early. It should be one of the few people who first built this type of house in this area."

"Yes! The year before last, there were very few people building this type of house."

While two construction workers were chatting while looking at the villa being built across the street, in the courtyard of the villa that their eyes could not see, stood a woman wearing linen clothes with an ordinary appearance but a graceful figure.

Qin Muqing woke up before the sun had fully risen today.

Although Qin Muqing has no habit of sleeping in, she rarely wakes up at such an early hour.

However, during this time, she would wake up early every day.

The reason for this was that there was no oil or water in her stomach and she couldn't bear the hunger, so she woke up involuntarily.

The rice vat at home is about to bottom out, and in two or three days, Qin Muqing won't even be able to eat the simplest white rice porridge with pickles.

The food crisis is coming. This is the second time Qin Muqing has encountered such a serious crisis after running away from home.

The first serious crisis she encountered was when she was robbed when she first arrived in Dongwu City, and she happened to be rescued by Lin Li who was passing by.

Now she is facing a serious crisis for the second time. Lin Li is no longer at home. No one can help her solve it now, so she can only find a solution on her own.

In the past few days, Qin Muqing has been thinking of ways to make money, but unfortunately she racked her brains and couldn't think of a way to make money.

Thinking about it, when she was at home, Qin Muqing, as the eldest daughter of the Qin family, lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. She had everything she wanted, so she didn't worry about such vulgar things as money.

Isn't it embarrassing for Qin Muqing to suddenly ask Qin Muqing to find ways to make money within a period of time after he is used to living a comfortable life?

It's a pity that Qin Muqing's current situation no longer allows her to relax. If she can't think of a way to make money, she will run out of food.

There are some valuable things at home that can be sold for some money, but this is not her own home.

Lin Li saw an injustice on the road before, so he drew his sword to help, saved himself and gave him a job, so that he could have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Nowadays, no one can do such a thing without Lin Li's permission and sell valuable things at home in exchange for money.

What's more, Qin Muqing has a good tutor, so it's even less likely that she will allow herself to do it. This kind of thing is completely reckless in her opinion.

"I'll only use it once, and I won't use it again after solving the current dilemma." Qin Muqing, who was about to run out of food, was holding a glass bottle in his hand and murmuring to himself.

"call……"

There was a gentle breeze, and the morning wind was a bit cool, making it feel cool on my body.

Qin Muqing has been eating very lightly these days, and there is no fat or water in her stomach. Naturally, her ability to withstand the cold is not much better.

"It's so cold!" Now that she was blown by the slightly cool wind, her body immediately got goosebumps and she shivered from the cold.

"Shashasha..."

The flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were gently swayed by the sudden breeze, and the dense branches and leaves collided with each other, making a sound.

"twitter……"

A few birds that made their home on a lush tree in the courtyard jumped a few times on the branches, and then looked at Qin Muqing curiously.

"call……"

Qin Muqing took a deep breath, and her chest rose and fell violently.

Abandon the chaotic thoughts in your mind and slowly close your eyes.

The birds standing on the branches became quiet when they saw Qin Muqing closing her eyes.

At this moment, the courtyard was quiet, with only the sound of the wind blowing the flowers, plants and trees.

About half a minute passed, and several birds on the tree saw Qin Muqing's hands suddenly glowing with a light golden aura.

Invisible power spreads around, covering the entire courtyard, and the flowers swaying gently in the breeze appear abnormal.

The beautiful flowers that were originally in full bloom gradually lose their luster. If someone comes close to these flowers at this time and smells them with their nose, they will find that most of the fragrance of the flowers has disappeared.

Qin Muqing's white and tender hands, as slender as green onions, held the glass bottle tightly.

The originally empty glass bottle now contained some transparent liquid.

Over time, these clear-colored liquids gradually increase.

A few minutes later, Qin Muqing's hands, which were glowing with light golden aura, dissipated.

Qin Muqing, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the glass bottle held in both hands.

At this time, the transparent liquid in the glass bottle is half full.

"These should be enough."

Qin Muqing looked at the half-glass bottle of transparent liquid with a happy smile on her face. Then, she suddenly felt dizzy, and a very uncomfortable feeling came to her heart.

"call……"

Qin Muqing quickly sat down and placed the glass bottle in her hand on the grass. The uncomfortable feeling caused fine beads of sweat to form on Qin Muqing's forehead. She raised her hands to cover her chest and gasped for air.

After a while, Qin Muqing's uncomfortable feeling dissipated. She looked at the transparent liquid in the glass bottle in front of her and murmured to herself.

"I haven't felt this uncomfortable feeling for many years..."

Afterwards, Qin Muqing left the house with a bamboo basket covered with cloth in her hand.

…………

The sun slowly climbed up in the sky, and the coolness of the early morning disappeared completely as the temperature increased.

The originally sparse flow of people on the street began to become more and more dense as the sun climbed higher.

The carriages coming and going are very fast, and passers-by walking on the street are sometimes startled by the speeding carriages.

"Asshole, you scared me."

"Tai, running like this, hurry up and reincarnate!"

Some passers-by who were frightened by the fast-moving carriages shouted curses and then kept an eye on the carriages coming and going on the street, just in case.

After Qin Muqing came out of the villa, she came to the bustling commercial district.

Since she settled in Linli's villa, her activities have been limited to the area around the villa. The farthest place she has ever been is the vegetable market where vegetable vendors set up stalls to sell vegetables.

The reason why she came all the way to this bustling commercial district today was to earn some money.

"Strange, why don't you see a pawn shop?" Qin Muqing searched for a while in the commercial district, but did not find her target, which made her a little anxious.

After searching for a few more minutes, Qin Muqing still couldn't find the pawn shop.

At this time, an old man walking out of the clothing store saw the frowning Qin Muqing. He thought for a moment, walked up and asked, "Little girl, have you encountered any problems?"

"Huh?" Qin Muqing heard someone talking to her next to her. She immediately turned around and saw that the person talking to her was a gray-haired old gentleman. She thought for a while, and then told the other person about herself. Difficulties encountered.

"Three days ago, the last pawn shop on this street was transferred due to poor management. If you want to find a pawn shop, you have to go to the next street to find it. I remember there is a pawn shop next to the jewelry store." The gray-haired old man said for Qin Muqing pointed the direction.

"Thank you." Qin Muqing thanked the kind passerby and walked quickly in the direction pointed by his finger.

Ten minutes later, Qin Muqing, carrying a bamboo basket covered with cloth, came to another street. She saw a jewelry store and a pawn shop next to it.

"It's exactly what the old gentleman said before..." Qin Muqing looked at the pawn shop in the distance, a surprised smile on his face, and his pace quickened a little.

…………

In the simply decorated pawn shop, a middle-aged man with a mustache held a ledger in his hand.

There was no business in the early morning, which was quite boring. After looking at the account book for a while, I couldn't help raising my hand and yawning.

"Ha~"

"Little plum, go and help me boil a kettle of hot water and make a cup of tea."

"okay."

When the cleaning man heard the voice of the middle-aged man with a mustache, he immediately put down his work and ran to boil water for the man to make tea.

"Hi, sorry to bother you."

The middle-aged man with a mustache was looking at the account book in his hand. Suddenly he heard a clear and sweet voice and quickly raised his head to look.

When he saw that the owner of the voice was an ordinary-looking woman, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, he soon discovered that this ordinary-looking woman had a graceful figure, which relieved his disappointment a lot.

"Guest, do you want to pawn something?" The middle-aged man with a mustache could tell at a glance that Qin Muqing was here to discuss business with him, and said with a smile.

Qin Muqing nodded, and then she heard the other party ask her whether the items to be pawned should be 'pawned dead' or 'live'.

"Damn it."

"I'm not going to redeem it! Okay, please show me the items you're going to pawn, and I'll give you an estimate..."

"Yes." Qin Muqing put the bamboo basket she was carrying on the counter, then uncovered the blue square cloth and took out a glass bottle filled with transparent liquid and handed it to the other party.

The middle-aged man with a mustache did not reach out to take the glass bottle handed over by Qin Muqing. The enthusiastic smile on his face disappeared and he said with a look of disgust.

"Guest, glass bottles are worthless. Although there is no business in the store early in the morning, I don't have free time to play with you..."

Qin Muqing knew that the other party had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I don't want to pawn the glass bottle, I want to pawn the essence of the flowers in the glass bottle."

"Flower essence?" The middle-aged man with a mustache was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then before he could ask, he saw Qin Muqing reaching out to open the lid of the glass bottle.

The moment the lid of the glass bottle is opened, the transparent flower essence contained in the bottle immediately emits a rich fragrance.

The scent is intoxicating, a captivating floral scent that cannot be specifically described in words.

"Eh?!!!" The middle-aged man with a mustache was shocked.

Originally, he thought that he was being used by Qin Muqing for fun, but now that he smelled such a charming floral fragrance, he could conclude that Qin Muqing was not lying without verification. The transparent liquid in the glass bottle was indeed the essence of flowers.

"Excuse me, how much can I pawn for this half bottle of flower essence?" Qin Muqing, who was in urgent need of money, hadn't even eaten breakfast yet! She was very hungry now, so she didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point and asked.

"..." The middle-aged man with a mustache did not give an offer immediately. He took the flower essence in Qin Muqing's hand, smelled it closely, and then frowned.

Qin Muqing frowned when he saw the other party, wondering if there was something wrong with the flower essence he created using his awakened power.

"Ten silver coins."

"Um?"

"The half bottle of flower essence you want to pawn is worth ten silver coins."

"Why is it only worth ten silver coins? This is too little!"
