They embraced and kissed, when Yingluo suddenly sensed something and instinctively let out a sob.

Sleep well and have sweet dreams.

The next morning, Wang Yan took Yingluo and prepared to go home. However, before leaving, Wang Yan felt that he should bring some gifts back for the little beast girls at home. After thinking it over, he decided that it would be appropriate to buy some sweets. So he drove around the outer city a few more times and finally found a bakery.

Wang Yan pushed open the oak door, and the bell on the door rang. Soon after, a young woman came out to greet him.

When Wang Yan first saw her, for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity, a feeling of peace, as if a warm older sister was comforting him.

The young woman wore a simple long dress with an apron that had turned slightly yellow from smoking. She had a pair of small bull horns on either side of her head. She had a kind appearance and a smiling face, but what was most striking was her world-class figure, which made it easy to tell which breed of bull she belonged to.

"Hello, welcome to Little Cow Bakery. What would you like to buy?"

Wang Yan was slightly stunned, his expression somewhat dazed, as if some non-existent memories were surfacing in his mind. He shook his head vigorously and said to Mo Yu:

"Um... haven't we met somewhere before?"

Mo Yu put her finger to her lips, seemingly trying to recall, but in the end she could only shake her head helplessly.

"Sir... to be honest, I have the same feeling, but after thinking about it carefully, I really don't have any memories of you. Perhaps... we met by chance a long time ago?"

"A long time ago..."

Wang Yan felt a little confused. Come to think of it, he realized that he had only been in this world for a few months. How could he have seen any beast girls other than the little beast girl's family?

It made it seem like he was trying to strike up a conversation.

Wang Yan smiled awkwardly, taking Mo Yu's words as mere politeness. He then changed the subject and chatted with her for a while longer, selecting a large bag of bread, dried fruit, cookies, and other sweets before bidding Mo Yu farewell.

Calculating the expenses, I've already spent nearly five thousand taels of silver since last night. I can't help but sigh that money really doesn't last long.

With a thought, Wang Yan stuffed all the bags and packages in his arms into the system space. Ever since he came out of the Little Cow Bakery, he had seemed preoccupied. That feeling of déjà vu kept him lost in memories. Who... was she?

Just then, Yingluo tugged at Wang Yan's sleeve and suddenly said to him:

"Wang Yan, that lady just now... actually... I also felt like I recognized her."

"?"

"Exactly, the moment I saw her, I inexplicably felt a sense of affection for her, as if she were an older sister to me."

Wang Yan was now confused. If he felt the faces looked familiar, it might be his imagination, but if both of them felt familiar, then there must be something wrong.

Even though the two of them were together, they couldn't figure out where they had seen her before.

After thinking for a long time without success, Yingluo tilted her head and said to Wang Yan:

"Let's go find that older sister together next time we come."

"Um!"

The two decided that when they came back next time, they would definitely visit this older sister again. Perhaps if they went back and thought about it carefully, they would be able to recall their memories of her?

After a brief interlude, Wang Yan arrived at the port, intending to ask which cloud whales were going down to the lower levels so he could hitch a ride.

As for how to find his home, Wang Yan wasn't worried at all, because he was already bound to Xiao Ji through the machine control center. He could naturally sense where Xiao Ji was, so all he needed to do was send him to the bottom level, and he could find his way home by relying on his senses.

However, after asking several merchants, Wang Yan found that none of them were going to the lower classes because the lower classes were too poor and no one wanted to go there. This stumped Wang Yan. If he couldn't get a ride, he would be in trouble!

As the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. Just when Wang Yan was at his wit's end, a merchant told him that if he was really in a hurry, he could go to the easternmost part of the port, where there was a place that sold flying fish, and he could ask about the price.

If the Cloud Whale is the heavy-duty truck in the Wall Abyss transportation system, then the Flying Fish is the small and convenient light car. If you don't bring anything else, two people can easily ride a Flying Fish back home.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately became interested. That's right! He still had four thousand left. If the price was reasonable, it would be extremely convenient for him to buy a flying fish. At least his future travels wouldn't be so troublesome.

After quickly thanking the other party, Wang Yan took Yingluo's hand and led her to the place the merchant had pointed out. It was in the far corner of the port, where a few wilted-looking flying fish were moored. There wasn't even a sign. If Wang Yan hadn't been reminded by the merchant, he really wouldn't have found this place.

The old man, reclining in a deck chair, squinted slightly. The spring morning sunlight was very gentle, and he seemed to be asleep, with soft snoring coming from his nose.

"Grandpa, wake up! We've come to see the flying fish you have here."

The old man was startled awake by Wang Yan, and his temper was a bit short, but since he had come to see the flying fish, he couldn't keep a sour face. He just grunted and said indifferently:

"This one, and that one, six thousand, and the biggest one, eight thousand, you can choose whichever you like."

In the Abyss, those who can afford to buy flying fish as a means of transportation are generally upper-middle-class people. Lower-middle-class people usually rely on traveling merchants or specialized passenger transport cloud whales for more cost-effective travel. If they wanted to buy flying fish, they wouldn't buy them here. There are more professional flying fish training grounds in the middle class, where the flying fish are of better quality, unlike the listless appearance of the fish in front of them.

When Wang Yan heard that even the cheapest one started at six thousand, he couldn't help but find it hard to believe. This thing was so expensive? He couldn't afford it!

"Um, sir, could you give me a discount? I can only come up with three thousand right now. Could you perhaps be a little more accommodating?"

The old man continued to lie back in his recliner, speaking slowly and deliberately:

"Young man, you obviously don't know anything about this stuff. Do you know why flying fish are so expensive? A flying fish that can obey commands and be ridden has to be trained from a young age and raised for at least five years before it can become a qualified mount."

Indeed, the old man was right. Wang Yan hadn't thought of that for a moment. As a mount, it definitely requires years of training, let alone a flying mount like this. It must be extremely difficult to tame.

"Young man, don't complain about the price. In Anju City, I'm the only fish trainer left. These flying fish are all old guys like me, so I've already given you a 50% discount. I can't reduce the price any further."

Wang Yan sighed softly, just when he was at his wit's end, but the old man's next words directly enlightened him.

"Over the years, I've had to factor in all the food and effort I've put into this. If we could just catch them and ride them, then everyone could just buy their fish directly from the fishing boats that come to the port every day. It wouldn't be such a big deal, right?"

The old man seemed to still want to promote his flying fish, but this was a wake-up call: the high price of flying fish was all due to the added cost of domestication; a wild flying fish was definitely not worth much.

But Wang Yan's system shop has some good stuff to use!

Thinking of this, Wang Yan couldn't help but smile.
