The next day, at a roadside convenience store in an unknown town, although a whole day had passed, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia were still discussing with great interest the long-awaited destination of their trip -
—Daigan Island.
"Ha ha!"
"Sea! Blue sky! Breeze!"
"besides……"
"Bikini beauty!"
"marvelous!"
“It’s really great!”
“I can’t wait to run to the beach on Daigan Island right now, right now!”
“I don’t want to wait any longer!”
That Xiaogang howled like an animal in heat, without any regard for the black lines on Xiaoxia's head sitting next to him, and directly expressed one of the truest thoughts in his heart aloud without reservation.
Said it out.
"OK!"
"Xiao Gang, can you not tell those things too?"
"Why!"
After sighing, Xiaoxia, who was holding Togepi in her arms, was equally excited and longing, and then she scolded her companion with some annoyance and continued to ask:
"But the problem is..."
"How are we going to get to Daigan Island in the Orange Islands?"
"It took us a day to walk here from Zhenxin Town, and it would probably take at least two or three months to walk from here to the port closest to the Orange Islands, right?"
"Then we have to take the boat again..."
"Oh my God!"
"Having come and gone, half a year has passed. How can I still have time to vacation on Daigan Island?"
As we talked, we originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity and name of accepting Dr. Omu's mission to go to Daigan Island to retrieve the mysterious elf ball and at the same time enjoy a vacation trip of sunshine, beach and coconuts on Daigan Island.
Xiaoxia couldn't help but lament again.
If it takes so much time to go back and forth, then there is no doubt that she will not be in the mood to go on vacation after being tired from the journey, and she will not be able to stay on Daigan Island for long.
That would be too boring.
"Well……"
"It's really an exaggeration to go back and forth for several months. Zhenxin Town is too remote and there is no direct station here, and we don't want to take a detour, so we have to walk to this town. If we continue to walk to the Orange Islands, it will definitely be
impossible!"
"That would waste too much time. We are not going to practice..."
"correct!"
"Perhaps we can choose a certain shuttle bus or train to go to the port closest to the Orange Islands first, and then take the ferry?"
After pondering for a while, Xiaogang thought for a while and then tentatively suggested this.
“Take a car and then transfer to the ferry?”
"But that will take several days, right?"
“Are there any faster and less time-consuming options?”
"That way, we can use the extra time to enjoy a good time at that resort. How great would that be?"
That’s right!
Xiaoxia no longer wants to pretend. In her opinion, the mission assigned to them by Dr. Omu is secondary. Using "public funds" to go to Daigan Island or other Orange Islands for a vacation is her most urgent and most important thing.
The main purpose of!
And if it were to be a different place that wasn't fun, as long as it wasn't the Orange Islands, she wouldn't necessarily guarantee that she would get involved.
“A faster and less time-consuming option?”
"It should be gone, right?"
“I think it’s fastest to take a car first and then take a boat.”
After pondering for a while, Xiao Gang shook his head and felt that the plan he just mentioned was already very good.
If everything goes well, they will be able to arrive at Daigan Island in less than three to five days, and then they can play there for a few days, and then return the same way. In this way, they can successfully complete the task assigned by Dr. Omu in up to half a month.
, and the funds provided by Dr. Ohki should be just enough?
"No!"
"We have a faster way!"
However, as soon as Xiao Gang finished speaking, before Xiaoxia could say anything, Xiao Zhi and Pikachu were staggering and swaying each holding a lot of food, snacks, drinks and other random things.
He walked out of the convenience store and suddenly said proudly.
"A faster way?"
"What is it?"
Hearing this, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang hurried forward to help, but they couldn't help but feel a little curious.
"Of course it's flying!"
"airship!"
"Look, if we take the airship, we can reach Daigan Island in just one day. Isn't it fast?"
Xiaozhi said proudly, and then thoughtfully took out a poster from his trouser pocket, with a photo of a huge airship printed on it.
"Airship?"
"But……"
"Xiao Zhi, isn't the money the doctor gave us enough?"
"and……"
"You just bought so many more things..."
Looking at each other, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a little doubtful and worried.
After all, the funds provided by Dr. Oak were limited when they accepted the mission, and now Xiaozhi has bought so much at once. In addition, there are still three of them, and they are planning to vacation on the island for a few days. If they take an airship,
It is very likely that there will be no money to play, and there will even be problems with the travel expenses on the return trip.
"Aren't I worried that I won't have anything to eat on the way?"
"Besides, what I bought was a small amount, but that guy Annie bought more!"
"But she has Mewtwo with her, and she has a way to stuff food into that Mewtwo ball to carry around. It's really convenient!"
Having said this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion and envy.
"Anyway!"
"Don't worry about the airship tickets. Pikachu and I just used small tickets to draw a lottery inside and won the special prize. The prize is a ticket to Daigan Island, and it's for three people!"
"What, are we awesome?"
Then, thinking about how he got three expensive airship tickets without spending a penny, Xiaozhi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then he took out the three tickets from another pocket and looked at his companions.
They kept waving and showing off.
'Beep! Beep!'
And when Xiaozhi said that, Pikachu on his shoulder also shouted proudly.
"ah!"
“Can we go to Daikan Island in one day?”
"Very good!"
“Absolutely great!”
Unexpectedly, the originally planned journey of several days was compressed into one day by Xiaozhi, and it was also the most comfortable and fastest flight route. Naturally, Jean could not wait to see the sea, blue sky and breeze.
And Xiaogang, a beauty in a bikini, cheered loudly again.
"etc!"
"There is a problem!"
Fortunately, Xiaoxia, one of the three, quickly thought of the problem with Acura while being happy, then hurriedly looked inside the convenience store and asked cautiously:
"What about Anne?"
"Is she still shopping inside?"
"Does she know that there are only three airship tickets?"
It is certainly a good thing to get three airship tickets for free, but there are four of them, so Xiaoxia feels that it is a little too early to be happy.
"this……"
"I know, I know, but I seemed to have subconsciously forgotten about her just now..."
After his expression froze and he allowed Xiaogang to take away the goods carried by Pikachu on his shoulders, Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, saying that he really didn't think much about this question just now because he only cared about it.
Go and be happy.
"no solution anymore."
"Then we can only give her another ticket."
"Although the airship ticket will definitely be expensive, if she is the only one who needs to pay for the ticket, maybe our budget should be enough?"
"and……"
"She's only eight years old, right?"
“Children’s tickets seem to be half price!”
Xiaogang and Xiaogang looked at each other, then Xiaoxia thought for a while, and finally could only suggest this helplessly.
"If there's only one person, it shouldn't have any impact, right?"
"All right!"
"Then go buy a child's ticket!"
Xiaogang did some mental calculations and felt that there shouldn't be any big problem, so of course he didn't have any objections.
"But……"
"I just went shopping again because I won a prize."
"I also bought a lot of things..."
"If I buy another ticket, I might not have enough money for the return trip."
However, it was okay not to mention this. As soon as the matter of supplementary votes was mentioned, Xiaozhi's face instantly became ugly.
Then, with some embarrassment and submissiveness, he carefully told what he had just done, and looked at the pile of things in Xiaogang's arms with innocent eyes and pointed.
"!!"
"Ash!"
"How could you be like this?"
"this!"
"You can't blame me, I didn't think of Anne!"
"Usually there are three of us, and the free boat tickets we got this time were also for three people. Then I was so happy that I thought there would be a lot of surplus in the budget, so...so I bought a few more things, and I thought I would go there again.
Give her a replacement ticket?"
"Then tell me what to do!"
"We can't let Annie go to Daigan Island by herself, right?"
"this……"
"How about the three of us use our own money to share in buying a ticket for her?"
"Partner?"
"Um……"
"Xiao Gang, what do you think?"
"What else can we do? Let's work together to buy it for her!"
"Really!"
“I thought I wouldn’t have to spend any of my own money this time!”
"All right!"
"That's the only way we can do it. Let's just chip in a little and spend a few days on Daigan Island. It should be fine, right?"
"well……"
"It can only be this way."
Just like that, when Xiaozhi said that he had won the lottery and got three free tickets, the excitement disappeared in an instant. The three of them started to dig out their own pockets while lamenting, preparing to give some money to some bad person.
The little girl scraped together an airship ticket at her own expense.
"??"
()
"What are you doing?"
|˙˙)
At this moment, Annie finally came out leisurely. After seeing the three people present taking out their wallets and looking embarrassed, she couldn't help but strangely approached them and asked.
"Why else?"
"Of course I'll give you some money to buy a ticket for the airship!"
"That's right!"
"Xiao Zhi only got tickets for three people in the lottery, but now there is one more for you, and we can't leave you behind, so we can only pool the money to buy one for you."
They all glanced at Anne sadly, and then, while the three people were explaining each other, they continued to look at the not-so-full purses in their hands, obviously struggling with what each person should do.
How many appropriate questions.
"..."
(lll￢▽￢)
Unexpectedly, what the three of them were struggling with and complaining about was such a trivial matter, which made Anne not even know what to say after they were out shopping.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"correct!"
"Annie, do you have any money?"
"You can chip in a little yourself. It's just for yourself anyway, right?"
At this time, Xiaoxia suddenly thought of something, and then hurriedly extended her hand to Anne, saying that Anne must also pay for the ticket!
Because, in that way, the three of them can spend less time, and then they can stay on Daigan Island for an extra day or two.
After all, this was a rare opportunity, and she didn't want to have to stay in that resort for three to five days and then go back because of insufficient budget.
"No!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"People can solve it themselves!"
(￢д￢.)
Sighing, Annie didn't pay, but said so disdainfully.
"??"
"Solve it yourself?"
"!!"
"Do you want to spend your own money to buy the ferry ticket?"
"you sure?"
"Annie..."
"Airship tickets are very expensive. They are much more expensive than bus tickets and ferry tickets combined. Do you really not mind?"
Hearing this, Xiaoxia and the other three people were not only surprised and surprised, but also a little curious. Apparently, they had never thought that Annie's financial resources would be so abundant, and she could even clamor to buy one for herself without blinking an eyebrow.
Airship ticket.
Anyway, if the three of them were asked to buy tickets for that kind of airship at their own expense, they would definitely be reluctant to part with it. In comparison, they would be more willing to take a car or a ferry, even if it takes several more days.
Don't waste your time?
"Wait a minute!"
()
"It's just a boat ticket, what's the big deal?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
After signaling the three of them to wait a moment, Annie said no more, but turned her head disdainfully and walked towards the shop again.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Soon, not long after, as the three of them looked at each other, Annie came out again, and the important thing is: she didn't seem to have a ticket in her hand?
"that……"
"Annie, where is your ticket?"
After looking at it and confirming that Annie was empty-handed and did not have a ticket, Xiaoxia asked with some uncertainty.
"Flight ticket?"
()
"What kind of boat ticket? There is no boat ticket!"
(▽)
Anne was a little confused, because she just said she would solve the problem of the ferry ticket, but didn't say she wanted to get the ticket.
"really!"
"We still have to pay for it!"
"well……"
"Let's each contribute a little!"
"Now it's better, the originally abundant budget has bottomed out!"
"do not talk!"
"Hello!"
"Xiao Gang, how much will you pay?"
Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other again.
Then, after some brainstorming with each other, they felt that Anne must be too expensive to buy a ticket, so they sighed again and took out their wallets, planning to crowdfund a ticket no matter what.
"..."
(**;)
"It's up to you. I'll wait for you at the airship base!"
()
Seeing this, Anne didn't bother to explain. She just said something and walked straight towards a certain direction of the town with her little bear Tibbs.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
A few minutes later……
When Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and Xiaozhi finally collected a huge sum of money and came to a ticket office window of a convenience store, they were unexpectedly told by the conductor that it was an airship.
All tickets have been sold out?
"!!"
"What?"
"All, all sold out?"
"this……"
"Ruined!"
"No wonder! No wonder Annie just went out empty-handed. It turns out that not only did she not have enough money, she also didn't have any tickets..."
"What should I do?"
"We only have three tickets now, what should we do?"
"have no idea……"
Upon seeing this, the three people were stunned for a moment and hurriedly got together again to discuss anxiously, and their voices could not help but become louder as they spoke.
"or……"
"Xiao Gang Xiaozhi!"
"You two want one of you to take the car and take the ferry?"
After struggling for a while, Xiaoxia, who really couldn't think of a good way, could only suggest this.
"!!"
"Why?"
"I got the ticket for the spaceship through a lottery, so why would I be asked to ride on it?"
"No, I won't do it!"
Xiaozhi became anxious and immediately expressed strong opposition.
"I……"
"I also want to see the young lady in a swimsuit tomorrow..."
Xiaogang shook his head weakly, saying that he wanted to see the girls in bikinis and swimsuits very, very urgently, and he couldn't wait even one day later, let alone several days later.
With that said, he and Xiaozhi looked at Xiaoxia resentfully.
"Hello!"
"Annie and I are girls!"
"You guys don't know how to be humble?"
This time it was Xiaoxia's turn to be anxious and she quickly screamed.
Obviously, she didn't want to be left behind and took a car or a ferry to the Orange Islands. Of course, she had never thought about doing to others what they didn't want others to do to them!
finally!
"Three guests..."
"Actually, you don't have to argue, because..."
"The little guest just now has already bought all the tickets for the boat, and she directly chartered the flight!"
At this time, the conductor seemed to understand the reason for the argument between the three people. Then, before the three people could continue to argue about who should take the bus and take the ferry, he quickly raised his hand and stared at the three people.
With a nervous look in his eyes, Zhonghua told what happened just now with a flattering smile.
"ah?!"
"What did you say?!"
"Annie...she chartered the plane directly?"
"She bought all the tickets?"
"this!!"
The next second, there was no surprise. As the conductor smiled awkwardly and nodded, Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang all opened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost and exclaimed in surprise.
'Beep!'
‘Beep! Beep!!’
Similarly, Pikachu, who was standing on Xiaozhi's shoulder, was so frightened by the three people's performance that he screamed in agreement.
