The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277: About to Faint from Hunger

At the convenience store, there were quite a few types of currency that could be used on this island, but unfortunately, the seven little ones searched their pockets and didn’t find a single cent.

Zhuge Xunming asked at the counter, “Can I pay with my phone?”

The clerk shook their head, “You can use a card.”

Zhuge Xunming suggested, “How about I add you on WeChat, transfer the money to you, and you give me cash?”

The clerk shook their head, “That’s not possible.”

Zhuge Xunming thought for a moment, “How about I give you a 20% commission?”

The clerk sighed, “I’m sorry, but please don’t stand here and obstruct the other customers from checking out. I’m currently working, and we can’t make such transactions. Please move aside, thank you.”

“Don’t stand there, move!”

“Yeah, don’t block us from checking out!”

“Hurry up and move!”

Zhuge Xunming, helpless, had to leave the counter, dejectedly walking out of the convenience store.

Zhuge Xunming sighed, “They won’t exchange money for me.”

Li Dahe grimaced, “I brought quite a bit of money, sewn into the doll’s stomach, but it was taken away by the staff.”

Helen removed her beloved hairpin and asked, “Is there a place around here that buys things?”

Li Dahe’s eyes lit up, “You mean like a pawn shop?”

Helen nodded, “Yes!”

Helen touched the sparkling gems on the hairpin, “This should sell for quite a bit, the diamonds on it are all real.”

Li Dahe took off his watch, “No way we can let you sell your hairpin, selling my watch should also be worth quite a bit.”

Tom pulled out a whistle, “This is solid gold, it should fetch some money too.”

Li Dahe said, “Maybe we can ask passersby, maybe they know where a pawn shop is.”

They found out from an older gentleman that there was an old store in the central area of Little Island.

The shop was called—Xiao Yang’s Antique Store.

You could exchange things for money there, but whether they were valuable or not depended on the owner’s mood.

Sometimes, for the same item, if the owner was in a bad mood, they’d lower the price, and if the owner was in a good mood, they’d offer higher than the original price.

Following the route map given by the old man, the seven little ones prepared to walk there.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Helen panted, “I need to take a break.”

Her face looked a bit pale.

Little Taotie supported Helen and found a public bench to sit down and rest.

Everyone dared not walk further; although Helen insisted she didn’t have heart disease, after several observations, everyone guessed quietly in their hearts that Helen’s heart might not be great and couldn’t be overworked.

Tom suggested finding a car.

On this little island, there were no taxis that could be hailed on the fly; to hitch a ride, they had to stop cars on the road and hope for some luck in finding someone going their way.

The little ones stood by the roadside trying to hitch a ride, Tom waved both his hands vigorously, Li Dahe shouted loudly, Wukong swung his Jingu Bang, Hua Jinyan was rather aloof, just extending one hand slightly to signal for a stop, and Zhuge Xunming, who didn’t know where he got it from, was holding a willow twig, letting it flutter in the wind…

Little Taotie, meanwhile, sat on the bench with Helen.

As the time slowly passed, the boys still hadn’t flagged down a car willing to give them a lift.

Li Dahe’s stomach growled with a “grr grr” sound, clutching his stomach, “How about we find something to eat first? It’s already ten o’clock, I’m starving.”

Actually, everyone was hungry, the boys had been awakened by Wukong in the late night yesterday, and then stayed up the night, not having eaten anything until now.

Tom helplessly shrugged his shoulders, “No money.”

This was also one of the reasons they still hadn’t managed to hitch a ride.

Actually, several times, cars stopped by, but the drivers asked for money, and without any money, they had to give up.

Li Dahe sighed, “Are there no kind-hearted people? We’re just kids, can’t anyone take pity on us?”

Zhuge Xunming said, “I suspect the show crew has broadcasted on the island, telling them not to pity us just because we’re young.”

Li Dahe said, “That’s possible.”

Helen, having rested enough, stood up, “Let’s just walk over; I’m fine now, I can walk.”

Tom shook his head disapprovingly, “It might take an hour.”

Helen straightened her back, “I can do it! It’s only an hour, no problem!”

Zhuge Xunming saw that Helen was determined to walk and no one could persuade her otherwise. He sank onto the bench, covering his stomach, “I’m about to faint from hunger, might be low blood sugar, I can’t walk…”
