Chapter 2 I Can Do Anything
Chapter 2 I Can Do Anything
Ocean knowledge... Star Tear Jellyfish...
Su Jin's eyes lit up; clearly, this talent would be very useful in the long run.
He already had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked calmly:
"Since you have this knowledge, why don't you try it yourself?"
A bitter smile crept onto Shen Ruying's lips as she said:
"The star tear jellyfish lives in rocky areas. I've searched the entire island, but there are beaches all around, and I don't have the ability to go out to sea..."
So when she saw Su Jin and the small raft, she was overjoyed and, eager to save her daughter, immediately asked them for help.
Su Jin nodded secretly, and then, taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, carefully observed the black stockings on the young woman's thighs.
Sheer black stockings, as thin as cicada wings, covered her shapely legs. The style was over the knee, only covering the mid-thigh, almost closing off the black bodycon skirt.
At first glance, she looks no different from usual, but upon closer inspection, you can see that the young woman's black stockings and bodycon skirt are soaked, indicating that she must have been in the water not long ago.
This confirms that Shen Ruying was not lying; she had indeed tried her best.
Su Jin had already guessed it. The reason he asked that question was simply to confirm it and get more information.
It seems the other party is quite sincere in asking for his help, and the reef area... that's where he just spawned.
He can help, but this is a transaction, and he needs to think about what kind of reward he wants.
Su Jin pondered, glancing at Shen Ruying and her daughter from time to time, and occasionally looking at the coconut trees and bushes on the island. Shen Ruying saw all of this.
At this moment, the young woman was filled with anxiety. Qiaoqiao's life was in Su Jin's hands. If the other party refused to help, her daughter would have to endure the pain and die from shock!
Thinking back to when this man first looked her up and down, his gaze lingered on her chest for a long time, and just now he was staring intently at the black stockings on her legs.
Considering Su Jin's statement that he had no obligation to help her, the meaning couldn't be clearer.
Which is more important, Qiaoqiao's life or her eight years of chastity?
Moreover, this man can sail at sea right from the start. In novels, these are all big shots who draw super talents. Relying on him... seems like a good choice.
After a moment's thought, she already had the answer in her heart.
Shen Ruying took a deep breath, gently biting her red lips, a blush rising to her cheeks, and finally said with a reckless attitude:
"Brother, if you're willing to save my daughter, I'll do anything. This island, everything on it, even myself... I can be yours!"
After saying this, Shen Ruying's eyes welled up with tears, but a hint of strength still shone through them.
She would do anything for her daughter, even submit to this stranger.
As long as Qiaoqiao can live, she is willing to endure any hardship!
She stared intently at Su Jin, her heart filled with a conflicted anticipation that this man would grant her request.
Su Jin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent would use all of their ultimate skills before he could even use a basic attack.
Not only did they give away the island, they even gave themselves away for free...
However, if you put yourself in her shoes a little, you can understand Shen Ruying's feelings, and you might even have had a bit of foresight.
Even if he helps Shen Ruying save her daughter today, it will be difficult for a weak woman to survive on this island with a little girl who is just recovering from a serious illness.
Putting aside wind and rain, even picking a coconut and starting a fire might be difficult.
During the day, you might be able to wait for the tide to recede and collect some small fish and shrimp to barely fill your stomach, but once the novice protection period ends, you still won't survive when sea monsters attack.
This is the reality for most ordinary people who have been brought into this world, and finding a powerful person to rely on seems to be the best option.
Su Jin wouldn't refuse Shen Ruying because he really needed an island; after all, he didn't even know how to get wood.
He could try to harvest some seaweed for plant fiber, but there was absolutely no way to get wood. For now, he could only rely on the two coconut trees on the island.
As for Shen Ruying, this seemingly delicate young woman, although her talent as a marine expert makes her a good partner, he wouldn't immediately trust her.
If the other party has bad intentions, well, let them talk to their harpoon!
Thinking of this, Su Jin slowly spoke:
"I can save your daughter, on the conditions I just mentioned. Also, don't call me 'Big Brother,' just call me Su Jin."
"Now I'll go find the Star Tear Jellyfish. Miss Shen, you go and collect some twigs and dry leaves. It's getting dark, try to start a fire... If that doesn't work, go and pick a few more coconuts."
Upon hearing that Su Jin would save her daughter, Shen Ruying's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally felt half dead.
There was both relief and joy, but also helplessness and grievance.
If nothing unexpected happens, her shapely buttocks are going to suffer tonight, after all, this man actually has eight-pack abs.
At this moment, Su Jin was shirtless, and his strong physique made Shen Ruying's beautiful eyes sparkle, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush.
But seeing that the man was about to leave the island, she quickly called out to him:
"Su... Big Brother, wait a minute, the Star Tear Jellyfish can only be captured using a special method. I'll tell you now."
Su Jin stopped paddling, raised an eyebrow, and looked both surprised and unsurprised.
After hearing Shen Ruying's description, he felt even more strongly that the young woman's talent was extremely valuable.
If they can cooperate well, they will definitely develop rapidly in the early stages.
Seeing that it would be dark in less than two hours, Su Jin immediately sped up his work, hoping to find the Star Tear Jellyfish before it got completely dark.
Although it's currently the beginner protection period, it only significantly reduces the appearance of sea monsters, not completely eliminating them. If he encounters even one shark, his raft will be dismantled into planks.
Su Jin quickly arrived at the rocky area of the spawn point. It was high tide, and the seawater was washing over the rocks, allowing his raft to travel in this area.
The star tear jellyfish only leaves its associated star tear shell during high tide to forage for plankton in the surrounding area.
Normally, these things hide inside their shells, looking no different from ordinary shellfish, making them difficult to spot.
Su Jin carefully observed the bottom of the water as the raft glided slowly.
Suddenly, he vaguely saw a faint white light, and his heart leaped with joy.
He stared intently at the white light and discovered it was a star tear jellyfish, swimming leisurely around.
Su Jin glided slowly, gradually approaching the location of the Star Tear Jellyfish.
Despite his caution, the star-tear jellyfish sensed the approaching danger and hurriedly retreated into its star-tear shell.
But it was no use. The monk may run away, but the temple remains. Su Jin had already located its hiding place.
He lay on the raft, reached out and firmly grasped the Star Tear Shell, and slowly scooped it out of the water.
As soon as the star-tear jellyfish inside the shell came into contact with the air, it trembled violently, and its beautiful, transparent body instantly turned into a pool of moon-white liquid inside the shell.
This is the special method for capturing the Star Tear Jellyfish, as only its accompanying Star Tear Shell can temporarily store the Star Tear liquid it transforms into.
If an ordinary person harms or directly grabs a Startear Jellyfish and pulls it to the surface, the Startear liquid will dissipate upon contact and eventually turn into ordinary seawater.
When you close the Star Tear Shell, it becomes a seamless, perfect container that won't easily leak.
Then, he noticed two flints and steel and took them with him.
Seeing that he had spent more than half an hour at sea, it was time to go to Shen Ruying's island.
When he returned, he witnessed a speechless scene.
The little girl Qiaoqiao was leaning against one of the coconut trees with her eyes closed, while the young woman Shen Ruying was on another coconut tree, clinging tightly to the trunk and refusing to let go.
The moment she saw Su Jin, she excitedly cried out for help:
"Brother Su, please come and save me! I...I'm afraid of heights!"
