The overseer again examined the Blue Moon Stone that Gu Shi Yi had brought back and said with great satisfaction,
"Very good... Not bad at all, it's top quality!"
Gu Shi Yi nodded and bowed with a grin,
"I've been a strong swimmer since I was young, and this time I was just lucky!"
The overseer nodded, patted her shoulder,
"Keep up the good work!"
After saying that, he glanced at the two baskets of stones and said,
"I've decided, I'm giving you a twenty percent increase in your wages!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shi Yi was overjoyed and thanked the overseer profusely. She returned to the water's edge full of renewed vigor. Just as she was about to take out the Blue Moon Stone hidden behind the large rock, she was reminded by Li Yaner,
"Shiyi, don't rush, wait a little before heading over..."
Gu Shi Yi paused and asked,
"What's wrong?"
Li Yaner sighed and said,
"Bringing out that many stones at once, won't it arouse suspicion?"
Gu Shi Yi thought about it and nodded,
"Right!"
