Chapter 158, Section 157: A Gift from Kesha

Understanding people is always a gradual process.

Tags and attributes are a set of cognitive patterns that make it easy for people to understand quickly.

For example, people who meet Zhong Zemo for the first time and learn that he is a teacher will inevitably associate him with seriousness.

But as you get to know him better, you'll find that he's actually very easygoing.

Getting to know Kshatriya was also a process like this.

As they learned more, everyone suddenly realized that this beautiful sea monster was actually more perverted than everyone else at the boundary between reality and illusion... and she was quite self-righteous about it.

Don't be fooled by how much fun everyone talks in the group chat. At best, they're all just talkers; nobody actually puts their words into practice. They're as naive as blank slates.

Kesha is different; she doesn't just talk the talk, she's incredibly proactive and does what she thinks of.

If you like Jiang Heyi, immediately charge forward and stick close to him.

If you say you'll pounce on Jiang Heyi, then pounce on her.

She said she would be Jiang Heyi's mount, and without a doubt, she would do it.

True unity of knowledge and action.

The word "pervert" that Fries blurted out made Kesha tilt her head involuntarily.

She didn't think there was anything abnormal about it at all.

Isn't it romantic to openly express your desires and needs to someone you like, without holding anything back from each other?

This should be a wonderful impulse that one can naturally experience without needing to be taught, right?
If someone you like is willing to cooperate and goof around with you, just imagining it makes your mouth water and your lips drool.

Wiping away his drool, Kesha came to a conclusion after much thought.

"You've never been in a relationship, so you don't understand, right?"

A burst of scorching heat instantly spread from the top of his head to the entire body of the fries.

"Don't you also have absolutely no dating experience?"

Kesha puffed out her chest and said proudly, "That's right, so I'm going to start accumulating experience slowly from now on. In order to leave behind wonderful memories with Potato, I will keep improving."

As he spoke, Kexia stuck to Jiang Heyi again.

Mint nodded repeatedly: "They're a perfect match, a perfect match. That puts Mom at ease."

He kept rubbing his knuckles together.

Annoyed... a subtle but intense anger is rising within me!
He's just a mere NPC, yet he's so smug!
I'll let it slide since the Siren's craftsman is so useful.

It's just a two-dimensional character and a bunch of code.

All objectives for visiting the royal court have been achieved; all that remains is to wait.

With permission granted by Queen Mirrorheart, Kesha began to show the Royal Court to the Boundary Between Reality and Illusion, with their first stop being the market that had been mentioned earlier.

The royal court's market is divided into two sizes.

The small market is basically a place for trading between fallen star sirens.

The large market is much larger.

The specially designated large area is comparable in size to the large deep-water port of Gunnar.

The intelligent sea creatures of the southeastern coastal region of the Ana Continent, tribal merchants from afar, and some terrestrial species with licenses granted by the Fallen Star Royal Court engage in trade.

Orange Tea was quite surprised to see other terrestrial species: "You even issue licenses?"

"It's about exchanging goods and services. Not all the Fallen Star Sirens like to go ashore. They are willing to transport goods to the royal court to trade with the sea creatures, and we can also benefit from it."

The sea creatures have quite a few strange and unusual materials, which should be useful for item crafting and equipment forging.

Since there are no corresponding design drawings and the boundaries between real and virtual elements are unclear, it's impossible to know which materials correspond to which sets, leaving us at a loss.

"Ah, the skeleton of a moss shark."

While introducing various types of sea creatures, Kesha suddenly swam to a stall in front of a group of sea creatures that looked like killer whales.

Among the items encased in bubbles, a half-skeleton, roughly the size of an adult orca's head, stands out.

Kesha admires the skeletons, while the boundary between reality and illusion observes the orcas.

They were much fatter than the orcas commonly perceived, with some strange light gray patterns faintly visible on their white bellies, but otherwise they had nothing unusual about them.

Their presence here means they are also an intelligent race, but... did the magic tide only strengthen their physique and size?
Seeing the orca arrive, the whale, which was swimming on its back, quickly rolled over and happily exhaled a series of bubbles.

Despite their seemingly harmless appearance, these giant orcas, according to Ksha, are among the newly emerging overlords of the last wave of magic.

Most of the intelligent sea creatures are no match for these fat nerds.

They possess incredible speed and explosive power, and can store magical energy using the magical runes on their bellies, while also preparing some basic spells in advance for rapid release when needed—essentially a simplified version of Word of Power.

These balanced cultivators of both physical and magical arts, along with the siren, are all cheerful sea spirits and get along quite well with each other.

"Plop plop~~~~ Sister Kesha, these are great bones, want some?"

Where did you get these?

"While hunting in the open sea and catching a big fish, we overturned a coral reef. What we dug out—plop, it was a surprise!"

Not far away, a group of intelligent marine sharks looked over with a puzzled expression when they saw what the orca said.

The orca was a female, and as she spoke, she couldn't resist moving closer to Ksha, letting her touch it as she pleased.

"What about the price?"

The great orca exhaled a huge bubble, which burst near Ksha's ear, and she miraculously created a bubble to return it.

“This is…” the blanket blinked.

Jiang Heyi understood: "Special material transactions cannot casually reveal the bottom price; the pricing is very confidential."

After passing through the bubbles twice, the great orca tilted its body slightly, its bright eyes quickly scanning the boundary between reality and illusion. "If Sister Kesha's friend needs it, then I'll sell it!"

"Hey, you won't lose out," Kesha said with a laugh. "I'm buying this for my boyfriend, and you guys aren't even offering a discount? How can you be so shameless?"

The boundary between the virtual and real worlds was that Ke Xia was buying things for himself, but it turned out that he was giving them to Jiang Heyi!

"Boy friend?"

The other members of the tribe who were swimming belly-up behind the great orca all rolled over at once, creating a turbulent current.

They all thrust their enormous heads forward, blowing bubbles in disbelief.

Seeing that Kesha's tail seemed to poke Jiang Heyi like a pointer, and the orca's huge head filled Jiang Heyi's entire field of vision, all the puffing bubbles sprayed onto his face, making everything blurry.

He suddenly remembered a meme—"You're awake. The surgery was a success."

“A lovely terrestrial species.”

"Kisha's boyfriend."

"It looks so thin and frail, it feels like you could put it in your mouth and play with it."

"Wouldn't that hurt? How about you lick it?"

“If you don’t control your strength well, you can get hurt. Why don’t we let them touch us?”

These orcas seemed to love being petted; Ksha kept touching the female orca she was trading with.

Touched by the boundary between reality and illusion, they all happily swirled around in the water.

It seems they got too close to the siren and were invaded by its aura...

After learning that Kesha was a gift for her boyfriend, the orcas all insisted on a 50% discount and refused to take any more.

Kesha pretended to be angry and made excuses, which finally stopped him. However, the orca still included three portions of purple materials from the sea as a gift for Jiang Heyi.

A bubble floated to Jiang Heyi's side and burst, its location information being added to the map.

Green algae coral reef

"Purr~~~~ If you want to travel to the open sea, you can contact us! Our travel expenses are affordable and our safety is guaranteed!"

As expected of an intelligent race, they even managed to do a little advertising.

What a carefree and cheerful group!

I was previously engrossed in conquering the underground temple, but after temporarily putting the guide aside and immersing myself in the game world, I discovered that there are so many interesting things to discover.

Traveling through another world couldn't be more amazing than this, right?
Kesha manipulated the skeleton of the mossy shark with water flow and handed it to Jiang Heyi.

【Rest in Peace】is a special set, and the quality of the set is linked to the quality of the materials you use.

This skeleton of the moss shark is of gold quality.

"Like it?"

Before Jiang Heyi could even speak, everyone else wanted to answer for him.

How could they not like it? If Jiang Heyi dared to say "no," they would immediately swarm him, pin him down, and begin to correct the wrong ideas in his mind until he clearly recognized his mistakes.

Ordinary players may fight to the death in the wild, struggle through dungeons, participate in guild wars to try their luck in the lottery, or even challenge Lady Luck in casinos, but they may not necessarily end up with gold.

Jiang Heyi, on the other hand, had his girlfriend pay out of her own pocket to send him materials of the second-highest quality in the game.

I don't know what the reaction will be if I post this in the community.

It's like finding out your boyfriend's computer is bad and secretly buying him a 4090 as a surprise.

"Thank you..." Feeling that it was a bit awkward to say it like that, Jiang Heyi could only nod woodenly, "I like it, I like it."

"Then touch my tail?"

Kesha's tail was already wagging incessantly in front of Jiang Heyi.

Jiang Heyi gently held and rubbed the tail, and Kexia looked delighted.

"Just hold my hand like this, don't let go. Your life is short, and I will definitely leave you with the most beautiful memories... Similarly, you should treat me the same way."

No, Zhong Zemo was the first to get envious.

Compared to her own miserable, prison-like marriage experience, Jiang Heyi is such a brat!

It's just a game, but why do I, a married person, feel so jealous?
Unlike Zhong Zemo, from a certain moment on, French Fries' mindset became unusually peaceful, and she felt no emotional fluctuation as she watched what was happening.

Her mind raced, recording every word and action of Kesha.

Jiang Heyi felt he had to do something, so he immediately asked his mother for help from outside the venue.

"Mint, what do sirens usually like?"

Mint poked her chin with her finger, pondered for a moment, and muttered to herself.

"Many sirens have a penchant for collecting materials rich in water elements."

"They love fish dishes. The sirens who come ashore often visit the seaside taverns to enjoy all kinds of fish dishes."

"There are also shimmering things, minerals and stones, which are said to remind them of their own scales."

Mint suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, you should just ask Kersha. She likes straightforward things so much, she'll be really happy if you do it."

Jiang Heyi thought about it and agreed.

There's no need to beat around the bush when dealing with Khrushchev.

"Ksha, is there anything you like?"

"you."

"I meant the gift!"
