"Oh, you mean the water meter? Sigh, I was watering the flowers yesterday evening, but someone urgently needed me, and I forgot to turn off the faucet." Shen Yunyun lied effortlessly.
"I see. Then please be more careful in the future, Miss Shen, and cherish the water resources."
"Oh, okay, okay."
Shen Yunyun quickly agreed.
Hanging up the phone, she recalled that freshwater resources were also precious now.
Wasting resources was a shameful act.
So that one percent of people, who controlled ninety percent of the world's resources, turned around and demanded that ordinary folks with less than ten percent not waste resources—didn't they feel guilty?
Yawning, she got up, grabbed the jade ruyi, and went to find Gu Changye.
Seeing Shen Yunyun come to him voluntarily, Gu Changye immediately smiled and asked, "Didn't Mengxing come with you?"
Shen Yunyun looked at him suspiciously. "Boss Gu, are you thirty yet?"
"No, no, I'm not thirty yet."
"Not thirty?" Shen Yunyun raised an eyebrow, sizing him up.
"I still have a month until my thirtieth birthday."
Shen Yunyun: "..."
"Granny, what good stuff did you bring this time?" Gu Changye grinned, eyeing the bulging bag she was carrying—it looked heavy, with something inside.
Shen Yunyun took out the bowls, plates, tripods, and cauldrons that the Empress Dowager had prepared for her, the kind used by ordinary folks for meals.
Gu Changye quickly took them, examining them closely with sparkling eyes.
"Can't tell which dynasty this is from. It has the style of Wei and Jin, with characteristics of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but it's different from the Sui Dynasty's style."
"My mom said these are artifacts from the Li Dynasty."
"The Li Dynasty? Isn't that a country recorded in unofficial histories? Could it actually be real?" Gu Changye frowned deeply.
Shen Yunyun nodded seriously. "Of course it is. Just tell me, are these things valuable?"
Gu Changye nodded and gestured an eight with his fingers.
"Eighty million?" Shen Yunyun asked.
Gu Changye shook his head. "Eight million."
"Deal."
Getting another eight million from Gu Changye, Shen Yunyun was quite satisfied.
This eight million, converted into supplies and sent to the Li Dynasty, would far surpass the value of those bowls and tripods.
Having made a small fortune, Shen Yunyun was in a good mood.
But she was still planning how to send water to the Empress Dowager and the others.
Sending tap water all the time wasn't a solution—the water company would monitor their usage.
Besides, the people needed to resume production as soon as possible; they couldn't use tap water for irrigation, could they?
The water consumption simply wouldn't work.
Shen Yunyun was so worried she felt like pulling her hair out.
She could only go to the water plant first and buy a large batch of bottled water. No matter what, she had to ensure Little Tangyuan and the others wouldn't die of thirst.
That afternoon, she couldn't wait to open the trading center and unexpectedly noticed that huge, nearly bursting wish ball she had overlooked.
Forgetting about Little Tangyuan's situation for now, she quickly accepted this wish.
As the scene underwent AI conversion, she already knew that this time it was Zhi—the unlucky guy from the beast world who had almost been sacrificed.
She had been busy lately and had completely forgotten about him.
How embarrassing.
Zhi was still kowtowing before Shen Yunyun's statue in the posture of worshipping the beast god. When he saw Shen Yunyun, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Beast God." Zhi quickly bowed.
"Flooding?" Shen Yunyun asked.
"Yes, this flood is especially severe. It submerged our previous habitat. Now we're hiding on this mountaintop, and many of our tribe members have fallen ill."
Shen Yunyun was surprised. Could beastmen get sick too?
