Neither of the two ladies present cared about Li Mu's thoughts. Although they accepted the existence of him as Ling Xue's younger brother, they did not know him well enough and needed to investigate him further.
Li Mu watched Ling Xue take out a dark green crystal from the crystal ball. Yes, it was a wood crystal!
Ling Xue was overjoyed and eager to collect it, but she held back and looked at Lan Huahua and asked about the crystal: "Where did you find it? Do you have any more?"
Lan Huahua knew what Ling Xue meant. She was worried that she didn't have the crystals needed to upgrade the Ocean Fortress. She didn't care about the upgrade, but seeing Ling Xue's concern, she still told her the truth:
"I found it in a trench. I still have it in my hands. Don't worry!"
After saying this, as if he just remembered that Li Mu was standing next to him, he said to her: "Don't worry, if you need this kind of crystal stone in the future, you can exchange it for materials of equal value!"
Li Mu's somewhat buoyant mood was shattered by Lan Huahua. He thought he was lucky enough to get just one earth-type crystal, but Lan Huahua had so easily gifted Ling Xue with the rare materials for an entire storage crystal ball. Lan Huahua even had more than one wood-type crystal.
In this case, what is there for Li Mu to be proud of? Ling Xue and Lan Huahua probably don’t even like the earth crystal stone in his hand?
Li Mu suddenly felt a little sad.
However, Lan Huahua didn't give him any chance to feel sad. She slapped him in the face and broke the discouragement that had just risen in his heart.
"I thought you said you just upgraded to a medium-sized wooden ship?"
Li Mu nodded quickly and said, "Yes!" Li Mu felt that his upgrade speed was quite fast. Many people he knew were not as high as his level, so he was still a little proud when he answered.
But soon, he was hit.
Lan Huahua glanced at him and said, "Too slow! He's going to upgrade to a cruise ship, right? Our boss is already preparing the materials to upgrade the ocean fortress. How can a small fry like you with a medium-sized wooden boat catch up with him?"
Li Mu:
Seeing that Li Mu was silent, Lan Huahua started chattering again: "So, how many planks do you need to upgrade?"
Li Mu was no longer able to catch up with Lan Huahua's thoughts and could only mechanically reply, "Twenty thousand short!"
Lan Huahua rummaged through her storage items and found that she had enough materials, so she put out the wooden boards little by little and asked Li Mu to put them away.
"Upgrade quickly when you get back, don't fall behind!"
Lan Huahua listened to Ling Xue's analysis. Although they couldn't meet each other outside the market now, one day this barrier-like thing would disappear, and then the ocean world would definitely be in chaos.
Lan Huahua believes in Ling Xue's analysis very much. At that time, the lives of survivors with low levels and low abilities will become more difficult.
Therefore, she was also very worried about Ling Xue's new little brother. It was only a medium-sized wooden boat and the level was too low, so she could only lend a hand.
Fortunately, Li Mu's level is low and the materials needed for upgrading are not many, so she can still afford it.
After Ling Xue checked the materials in the crystal ball, she took out some, and then put some of the materials in her hand back into the crystal ball before stopping.
Lan Huahua took the crystal ball handed to her by Ling Xue and found that Ling Xue had actually given her a large amount of precious and rare materials. Lan Huahua's voice was so excited that she almost broke into pieces: "Thank you, boss, thank you, boss, you have helped me a lot!"
