Chapter 85 Racial Talents (Seeking 5-star review)

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xia, who was rummaging through boxes, felt that the light in the cave suddenly dimmed. He stuck his head out of a large box that was almost taller than him.

"Nani!?"

The scene before him made him open his mouth wide and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He saw that the cave was empty. The pile of gold and treasures that he had hoarded for who knows how many years had all disappeared. How long had it been?

"Hey, hey, hey, kid, how did you do this?!"

As Xia said this, he rushed to Gel's side and touched the ground which was originally piled with gold to confirm that what he saw was not an illusion and that all the gold treasures had really disappeared.

"Hahaha, Senior Xia, don't panic. This is the innate magical power of our race. It's called the Sleeve of Secrets. It can make things as small as sand and then put them away."

Gel began to talk nonsense again and wantonly deceive the old, young, women and children.

Xia was very shocked and asked with envy:

"Awesome, awesome, really awesome! What race are you from, Gel? Your magical powers are incredible, right? How can you know everything? I'm so envious! If I had your ability to do everything, it would be much easier for me to go out and pick up junk!"

"Cock!"

Gel staggered and almost fell. He didn't know what to say to this old man. His first reaction with such awesome skills was to use them to pick up junk?

"Cough cough!"

Gel cleared his throat and said mysteriously:

"Senior Xia, I will only tell you this secret. Actually, my race is Han!"

"Han nationality? I've never heard of it, but it sounds very mysterious!"

Xia imitated Gel and read the noun, which he thought had a strange pronunciation.

"Senior Xia, you have been here for too long and you may not have heard of it. We Han people are very powerful, but it is a pity that I am the only Han in the world."

Gel said with both pride and a little loneliness.

However, when Xia heard this, he thought that it was because the race's innate ability was too strong and was coveted by others, which led to something bad happening to Gel's race. He whispered to Gel:

"Don't worry, Ger, I will keep your race a secret for you!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, I got you the record pointers you asked for. They are all here. Check for yourself to see if there is anything you can use."

Xia said as he dragged over a large box.

"That's great. I'll do the moving."

All the gold, silver and treasures in the cave had been looted, and Gel finally had the mind to think about the main goal of this trip: finding the record pointer.

I was a little curious why the old man didn't just take out the pointer directly, but instead went through so much trouble to drag an entire big box.

Although he didn't understand, Geer still ran forward to help. After lifting the box out, he saw a box full of record pointers as soon as he opened it.

Gel exclaimed in his heart, Wow, this is a wholesale business, right?

After a careful inspection, there are 72 pointers in total, of which 65 are ordinary record pointers, all pointing to the same direction, which is different from the direction pointed by the pointer on Gel's hand. It should be the direction of the next stop. In addition, there are 7 permanent pointers pointing to 4 different islands (3 of which are repeated). Gel looked at the text above and found that he recognized most of these islands, which are:

Zhongguo Diaoyu Island, Drum Kingdom, Alabasta, and Gaya Island. Zhongguo Diaoyu Island is also the direction pointed by all the recording pointers. It should be the next island on this route. In the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates went directly to the Drum Kingdom for medical treatment because Nami was sick, so they didn't make it.

"Hahaha, it's useful! These are very useful. They really help a lot. You are really worthy of being called Senior Xia! I don't know how to thank you!"

Gel put the box away and encouraged the old man by putting his arm around his shoulder.

"Hehehe, it's just a small matter, it doesn't matter. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you and I are very compatible. It's okay if I can help you. Don't be polite to me."

Although Xia was talking about trivial matters, his face was full of pride. The pile of junk he had collected before finally came in handy today, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment. The key was that Gel spoke so nicely and made him feel happy.

"That won't do. You've spent so much effort to collect these things. How can I just take them for free? Just sit back and watch me perform!"

As Gel spoke, he walked to the side and waved his right hand in the air. Suddenly, a pile of rice and flour appeared on the ground, and bags of them were stacked up high.

"Ah, this? What is this?"

Xia hurriedly ran forward, opened one of the bags, and grabbed a handful of white rice in disbelief.

"Hahahaha! It's rice! It's rice!"

The old man's hands were shaking with excitement, and rice grains were slipping through his fingers. He wanted to hold on tightly, but the tighter he held on, the faster the rice ran away. He quickly reached his hand back into the bag to prevent the good food from falling to the ground and being wasted.

"Hahahaha!"

Xia shouted excitedly, he hadn't seen this thing in decades. The old man didn't say a word, just stuffed a handful of raw rice into his mouth and chewed it dry, and gave a thumbs up and said it was delicious.

The corners of Gel's mouth curled up slightly, but his hands did not stop moving.

[Ding, purchase (iodized salt 1KGx100) successful! ]

[Ding, purchase (mixed dried beans 10KGx100) successful! ]

[Ding, purchase (mixed nuts 10KGx100) successful! ]

[Ding, purchase successful! ]

...

Gel bought all the long-lasting foods and selected quantities of 100 for all of them. It didn’t matter if there were more, as they were all foods that could be stored for a long time and provide sufficient nutrition, as well as emergency dry food.

Including: grains (such as rice, flour), dried beans (such as red beans, black beans, soybeans, etc.), dried fruits (such as raisins, dried blueberries), nuts (such as walnuts, almonds), stored salt, honey, pickled foods (such as bacon, ham, mustard, sauerkraut), canned foods (such as canned fish, canned fruit, etc.), tea, etc.

Next came daily necessities, common medicines, and some vegetable and fruit seeds. In short, as long as he could think of or see anything, Gel would buy it all.

"Enough! Enough~ Oh! It's really enough! Gel boy! Stop it quickly! Ouch~ It's really enough~"

Xia looked at the increasing amount of food and daily necessities piling up in the cave, and he went from being excited at first to being completely numb later.
