12 Chapter Eleven (2/2)
To his horror, Yu You Lei only brought him closer, even removing some of the water so he had nowhere to swim.
”Okay, but. . . Where are my treasures? Where have they gone?” Her voice was falsely calm, and the fish could sense the anger behind her words.
”Gone!” With this single word, Yu You Lei almost snapped.
”For now.” Yu You Lei held her hand back, and her eyes twitched slightly. Could the fish finish its sentences properly?
”You stored your treasures all over the place, according to rank and category. Unfortunately, for the storing and herb system, you go by your cultivation level. So, at orange rank, you could open almost one third of the chests here. At red rank, you would've been able to open the one third exactly, but now that you've started from a cultivation wastrel, you can only open some chests which are labelled with '0'. If you try to open any other chest, you wouldn't see anything. That means for now, you can only open the chests which contain your food, survival items, money and a minimum amount of cultivation materials.” The fish wanted to close its eyes, but had no eyelids, and could only watch helplessly as Yu You Lei's expression darkened.
”How are they sorted? And what happened to my treasures?”
”Oh, it's sorted by every level, not colour rank. High level would have a blue '2' engraved in the chest, low level would have '1', peak level would have '3', and they would be painted according to the colour rank you require. As for youe treasures, you just can't see them or touch them. They are still safe.” At this point, the fish was already floating around leisurely, thinking it was safe.
Yu You Lei let out a breath of relief. She had a faint impression of those numbers, and even remembered sorting items according to the numbers for fun at one point. Thankfully, purple, to her, symbolized the start of her whole journey, so she stored most of the essential items inside the purple chests.
In fact, maybe she sorted all the items according to the numbers and colours. She thought about it, and her expression brightened. Yes, she definitely sorted her items according to the numbers and colours! Those materials suitable for an orange high leveled were all placed in the correct chests, and the same went for everything else.
That was perfect! She would probably be able to use those items to help her along as she went. Yu You Lei wouldn't dare to use the more powerful items yet anyway, since she would probably accidentally pulverize herself at some point.
Yu You Lei grinned, turning to the fish. Just a few more questions and she'd let it go.
”What do I call you?” She asked, a friendly smile on her face.
”You are the mistress, you can give me a name.” The fish said, waving a fin casually. The ring itself was named Little Long, but it must have a better name for itself, right? It thought she'd give it a good, majestic and elegant name, but. . .
Her? Name the fish? From her judgement, the fish was a male, so she needed to think of a suitable male name for it. . .
”Okay, I'll name you Ji Xiang!” Yu You Lei grinned, glad she could actually think of a name.
”What? Doesn't that mean auspicious? Are you using me as a good luck charm? No, I don't like it!” Ji Xiang immediately began protesting.
”Are you cursing me? So what if you're my good luck charm?” Yu You Lei's expression turned cold in an instant.
”No, no, just give me another name!”
”Fine, I'll name you Wang Cai.”
”I'm not a dog, you female devil. And doesn't that have a similar meaning? Do you need good luck so badly?”
”Either Ji Xiang or Wang Cai. Choose one.”
The soul and fish bickered for a few minutes, before Ji Xiang finally gave in.
”Fine, fine, I'll be called Ji Xiang. . .”
It muttered grudgingly.
”Okay, good. Very obedient. Now, Little Xiang, where are my herbs?”
