Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

She had no concept of the amount of money.

She was simply pondering Lu Ye's words.

"Check the quality of the item before buying it."

So she first poked the round watermelon with her finger, then paused for a moment because it felt pretty good.

Perhaps realizing that she couldn't judge the quality on her own, Violet began to ask the stall owner.

At first, everything seemed normal.

For example, how much does a watermelon weigh, and how long does it take for a watermelon to grow?

But later the stall owner gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Can I buy your watermelon to release back into the wild?"

Do watermelons grow in the ground or on trees?

"When you eat watermelon, does it make a sound like a dying sheep?"

A series of outrageous questions caught the stall owner off guard.

The stall owner's face darkened; he realized he had met a master.

Back in his youth, he was a street thug who acted crazy and was good at eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. When he was broke, he would often harass the vendors and get some food for free when they got impatient with him.

The girl in front of him was no less skilled than himself, and had quite a bit of his former prowess.

But judging from her clothes, she didn't seem like a poor child... This puzzled the stall owner.

"Don't worry, if this melon is unripe, I'll eat it myself. Are you satisfied now?" The stall owner patted his chest and assured him.

"Does 'guarantee'... mean 'definitely'?" Violet asked.

Actually, her question wasn't entirely nonsensical.

The reason for asking about releasing animals is that Lu Ye once said while fishing that if you encounter small ones, you should release them so that more can grow in the future.

Violet asked where watermelons grow because she genuinely didn't know where they grew. Having lived on an island for so long, she assumed they grew on trees like coconuts, so she wanted to confirm.

Finally, she was also quite curious whether this thing called "watermelon" would make any sound when it was "killed".

Sheep bleat when they are slaughtered, so maybe there will be some kind of sound when a watermelon is slaughtered.

After all, in her view, coconuts and watermelons are still two "species" for the time being.

"Then, I want this, and this too."

Violet opened her palm and handed over the gold coin; her slender fingers were white and delicate, like jade.

The stall owner looked at the gold coin with a complicated expression.

This can't be explained by cultural differences; the girl in front of me is mentally like a child!

Or is she actually quite young, but her development is too advanced?

No, no, no, it could also be an intellectual disability...

But thinking about these things is pointless.

The vendor picked out a good quality watermelon and coconut, packed them in a bag, handed them to Violet, and gave her change.

"Thank you," Violet said calmly.

This is a customary practice taught by Lu Ye, a fixed procedure to be followed after receiving help.

"Okay, come again next time," the stall owner waved to her.

Although he was a petty hoodlum when he was young, now that he's older, he just wants to live a peaceful life.

Scamming young girls out of their money is one thing, and besides, they have people following them around. But the most important thing is war.

The current situation is not optimistic. What's the use of making more money?

Money can buy clothes, houses, and food, but can it buy life?

There are two kinds of suffering in life.

One is that people are alive, but they have no money to spend.

Secondly, the money is still there, but the person is dead.

Once Leidenshaftrich is defeated, no amount of money can buy you a life.

Because at that time, your enemy held the power of life and death.

…………

As night deepened, the streetscape grew increasingly vibrant.

The night market offers fine wines and drinks from all over the world, while the aroma of juicy grilled ribs and fried potato balls from the food carts attracts passersby.

Lu Ye walked ahead carrying the packaging bag, while Violet gently held onto Lu Ye's clothes and walked behind, glancing around every now and then.

"Is that the light bulb?"

"Yes, as I told you before, it's similar to a campfire. Although both can emit light, you can't use an electric light to roast food."

The electric light's importance to Violet plummeted.

She asked a lot of questions.

For example, why do people go out at night when they are supposed to be sleeping?

Why are there so many styles of clothes that people wear?

Why do men and women dance to music and press their lips together?

It was the first time she had ever seen the outside world.

The towering buildings, the cobblestone paths... even the street signs could attract her attention.

It's like an innocent child opening a treasure trove and discovering a world of splendor and beauty.

But Lu Ye couldn't feel happy.

Violet was just a child, and she couldn't help but be captivated by that brilliance.

But the beauty of the world is just an illusion. If you peel back its layers, you will find that the world is not as beautiful as you imagine.

Children will grow up eventually.

Only then will she realize that the world is not all gentleness; it also has a cruel side.

But it is precisely because of this that talented people are able to grow.

Seeing this as a rare opportunity, Lu Ye decided to go to the city center.

The colonel also left a message in the letter saying that there would be a fireworks display in the city center tonight.

The protracted war had numbed people's minds for too long, which is why the city government finally decided to hold a grand event.

When they arrived in the city center, it had already started to drizzle.

But this little rain couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm; they had so much pressure to release.

Chapter 51 Mandarin Ducks

Although it was crowded and noisy, the scenery here was beautiful.

The Saint Fountain in the central square is magnificent.

The drunken people held chops of meat and sang songs. A small band under the locust tree played cheerful tunes, and dancers in exotic costumes swayed gracefully—they had been invited to perform at tonight's banquet and, incidentally, to earn some tips by taking advantage of the people's enthusiasm.

People were immersed in a joyful atmosphere, which, in Lu Ye's view, was just a release of pressure, but that was enough.

He and Violet sat on a bench under a tree on the street, holding potato balls and drinking juice.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, two red orbs shot into the sky.

Startled by the sound, people all looked up at the sky.

The two orbs of light rose to their highest point and then suddenly exploded just as they were about to fall!

Brilliant fireworks burst in the night sky, but in a fleeting moment, even more points of light shot into the night sky.

Then fireworks burst in the night sky one after another, the sparks slowly drooping down like willow branches, eventually turning red, green, purple... a riot of colors.

After a brief silence, people began to cheer, accompanied by cheerful violin music, as the pent-up pressure was released.

Seeing this scene, Lu Ye suddenly thought of Einstein's theory of relativity.

It wasn't that he had suddenly grasped some new scientific principle, but rather that he remembered those words.

It means that if you're with a beautiful woman, time will seem to fly by, while it will seem to drag on if you're with someone else.

Beautiful things are always fleeting.

But in Violet's eyes, this scene was stretched out in time, and even the raindrops in the air gradually became clearer.

The fireworks illuminated her pupils, reflecting the entire night sky.

“It’s beautiful,” she said softly.

That was the best adjective she knew.

Lu Ye didn't say anything.

He had certainly seen better fireworks displays than this, so he wasn't particularly moved.

Violet, however, was different. She admired the scene, her serious profile looking quite adorable.

Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Violet has all the beautiful clothes and dresses, but she's still missing one thing.

--accessories.

Not to mention girls, even some boys like accessories, like Dietrich who wears a big gold chain around his neck.

A few moments later, the fireworks ended.

Lu Ye led Violet forward.

The street stalls and mobile carts are becoming fewer and fewer, replaced by quaint shops and vendors selling jewelry.
