Chapter 86 Two Eggs
Su Jin recognized it at a glance; it was most likely that old lady's stuff. Only elderly people would like this kind of scarf.
"Hey, what a pleasant surprise! I've found someone's unwanted treasure. Let me see what it is... um, two... eggs?"
At first, he thought it was some kind of treasure, but when he opened the scarf, he found that it contained two unidentified creature eggs the size of dinosaur eggs.
At this moment, Lin Xuan also squatted down beside him and curiously poked it with her finger:
"The hardness seems pretty good. The eggshell looks quite thick, at least thicker than an ostrich egg of similar size."
As if she had found no danger, she picked up one directly, but it turned out to be quite heavy, making it a bit difficult for this high-achieving student.
"Hmm, it's quite heavy, much heavier than an ostrich egg..."
She found it too heavy to carry, so she placed the egg on the ground. Even though some small stones bumped into it, it only left some white marks.
Lin Xuan saw it too, nodded and said:
"Hmm, it's not easy to break either. It seems that an ordinary person's hand can't break it; we'll need to use tools."
As she spoke, she looked at the iron axe in Su Jin's hand.
Su Jin picked it up, smiled, and said:
"What? You want to open one and eat it raw right now? Who knows if it'll taste fishy or not."
"No, that's not it," Lin Xuan denied immediately. "I just wanted to confirm what stage of incubation it's at. What if it's a sea monster egg that's about to hatch? Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to take it?"
"Heh, not stupid after all." Su Jin was somewhat impressed with this high-achieving student. If Li Yuanyuan were here, she would definitely be happy to shout that she would carry him onto the boat.
That adorable, clueless girl probably only thinks about food.
He shook his head, picked up an egg, and stood up.
"No need for all that trouble. Just watch me shake it vigorously, and you'll know whether it's formed inside or not with just a little feeling."
As he spoke, he used this big thing as a giant bubble tea cup, shaking it vigorously up and down with both hands, not caring if he shook the yolk evenly.
Since it's going to end up in my stomach anyway, this doesn't really matter.
Lin Xuan squatted on the ground, watching curiously as she waited for Su Jin's result.
"How's it going, Brother Su? Is it set inside? Can you feel something bumping around inside?"
Su Jin stopped, took a breath, and said:
"Based on my feeling just now, they seem to be undeveloped. It seems that these eggs were just laid, or perhaps the place where they were laid wasn't very warm, as there are no signs of them hatching."
"That's good." Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "Then we'll have an extra meal tonight, like Qiaoqiao said again?"
"Oh, this is wonderful!"
Su Jin also smiled, but his smile conveyed more of a sense of comfort.
They didn't manage to catch Wang Qingmei, but they managed to take her things, which was a way of venting their anger.
That's not right. This thing originally seemed to belong to him, or it was something from Linxuan Island. He was just protecting his own interests.
However, he should thank Wang Qingmei for finding these treasures for him. He wondered what kind of expression that guy would have when he came back and found that the things were missing.
Looking at the two eggs, Su Jin thought for a moment and made a temporary decision.
"In this way, you can transport these two eggs to the seaside in two trips, and then we'll take them on the boat along with the silkworms."
Lin Xuan was stunned when she heard this. Could someone with her small arms and thin legs do this kind of work?
Am I alone?
She pointed to herself to confirm again, and then received a nod of approval from Su Jin.
"Of course! I need to chop steel and wood, and you're just standing there doing nothing to help. You think you're here to give directions? Enough talk, let's get to work!"
As Su Jin spoke, he kicked Lin Xuan's buttocks, then took the iron axe and went to find a spot under the steel and wood to make his cut.
Lin Xuan stood up with a resentful look on her face. The two objects were really too heavy, and it was quite difficult for her to lift them.
Actually, she was a little stunned when she saw Su Jin shaking an egg around. She never expected that this man was so strong.
But in the end, she sighed, bent down, and picked up an egg.
"Ugh, this work... uh, it's so heavy."
To avoid falling, she had to turn her head to see where she was going, which made things even more difficult, especially since they were on a mountain.
Fortunately, the golden fish roe I ate last night and the seafood soup I drank significantly boosted my stats.
She also drank a cup of royal jelly, which increased her mental attributes and slightly boosted her willpower. In short, she became even more of a workhorse.
It's a pity that there wasn't a single piece of the lightning eel's flesh left, otherwise she would have been even stronger and wouldn't have had to exert so much effort.
After going through countless hardships, she finally managed to get one egg to the beach, and then she had to rush back to get the second one.
When she returned, she found that Su Jin had already chopped down the steel and wood.
Countless dark silver steel blades spun and danced in the air, a magnificent sight that left her completely mesmerized.
It's a pity she didn't have a phone, otherwise she would definitely have taken a picture of this scene and posted it on her WeChat Moments, which would have made her very proud.
She watched Su Jin whittling the steel-wood branches, and seeing such a large steel-wood trunk, she subconsciously asked:
"Brother Su, do you need any help?"
Su Jin said without looking up:
"Yes, you should take the last egg down first, then come back up and collect the leaves and branches."
"These are all good things. They can be used to make tools or as timber to upgrade ships. In short, they can be used."
Lin Xuan didn't complain this time, she just nodded, clearly getting into work mode.
As a senior graduate student, she only procrastinates before starting work, but she is quite serious when she does work.
She immediately went to grab the other egg; it was their dinner for the night, and they couldn't be careless.
After transporting the egg, she immediately ran up the mountain. Halfway there, she saw Su Jin transporting steel and wood tree trunks and helped him out temporarily.
Finally, she and Su Jin went up together and made several trips back and forth, finally managing to collect all the remaining steel and wood branches and leaves.
Su Jin boarded the boat, lowered the planks, and carried everything on board except for the steel and wood tree trunks.
Finally, he and Lin Xuan tried to move the steel and wood tree trunk to the side of the boat.
He had barely placed the steel and wood trunk against the side of the boat when he received a system notification that he could submit the request.
He didn't plan to keep the steel and wood tree trunk; he submitted it directly to avoid wasting space, and besides, his ship was a bit too small to fit it.
After doing all this, he and Lin Xuan stood on the boat looking at Sweet Dew Island, and then he said to Lin Xuan:
"The most valuable things have already been taken away. What's left are some wood, some silkworms, and mulberry leaves. There's not much value left."
Lin Xuan nodded. This was practically all her assets; the rest could be kept here and withdrawn if needed.
She turned to Su Jin and said:
"That's good. Let's move on to tidy up the other islands."
Speaking of other islands, Su Jin stroked his chin, wondering what spoils those three wild dogs had gotten.
