Chapter 235: The host is really miserable

At the same time, in the live broadcast room of the player, Missie, the pop-up screen was full of question marks. As a game host whose live broadcast was about “how boring he is”, Missie started his lonely sea drift in the early morning of April 6.

Rewind time to a few minutes ago. After more than ten hours of drifting, the audience came and went, left and came back, and finally saw some different content in the unchanging live broadcast screen. The small raft that Missie was lying on encountered a small flow of different currents as it passed a certain place, and then it followed the current, and very smoothly drifted into an unexpected cave, then passed through the cave into a pool of water.

Just as the audience was crying with joy, thinking that their ten hours of waiting had finally come to fruition, and that the anchor they were following had finally arrived at his destination, the system’s heartwarming prompt arrived just in time. The entire live broadcast room audience could see clearly what was on the prompt.

[Dear player Missie, welcome to the mysterious Ancient City. Because you do not have the item Ancient City Pass, and even though you found a special way to enter the map, the system will follow the rules to send you back to your original village. Do not be nervous, and next time please bring an Ancient City Pass!]

Missie, “????”

Audience, “????”

This was the big speechless event of the day! The system in the game, how come there were two faces? The mouth said welcome, even as it did things to kick him back. The response time was so quick it didn’t even give them time to turn around! It was too much!

[This anchor is super miserable. He’s been drifting for so long, and would have been able to enjoy the fruits of victory, but the result is that the bamboo basket is empty, and he was directly flown back to his village. Look at his dumbfounded expression. Really too poor…]

[But who would have thought that the sea drifting would actually have him float into the Mysterious Ancient City? I think the best result would have been to drift to an island…]

[We didn’t think that Carefree Farmstead could not do it. I would like to call the anchor of this live broadcast the most boring! Everyone watching is so lonely! QAQ. God is not good. Anyway, I will remember this time!]

[Speaking of the Mysterious Ancient City…The anchor live broadcast camera seemed to sweep past another person? I saw on the forum today that a player had fulfilled the conditions to go to the Ancient City and was playing in the Ancient City. Could that have been him? But the camera swept past too quickly, I did not see clearly…”

[I also seem to see that too. I ran to the forum to take a look and found that the owner said he would visit two hours later. Looking at the situation, they’ve already finished visiting, and should be ready to go back, right?]

[Hey, hey. He should have also seen our anchor. I wonder what will be in his heart?]

Leaf did get a little shock, but he didn’t take it to heart. He got on the carriage and departed back to his village. During another five minutes of transitory animation, he quickly went to the forum to post a few updates, and announced that he would be in place at the entrance of the village with a stall to sell items bought back from the Ancient City, and welcomed any village player to shop.

During his previous shopping spree, although he was obsessed with buying, he didn’t forget to take pictures of the surrounding environment to remember, so at that time he also posted all the photos. In the face of other people in the post, [Did you go to other places?], [Did the owner of the building called Wind, Flower, Snow and Moon visit?], [Did you meet any special NPCs or receive special tasks?] For such questions, he gave a negative answer one by one.

[After going into the Ancient City I realized that two hours is not enough time. To even visit one street is a rush to finish shopping! When I go next time, I must exchange a few more tokens to see if I can stay for six, seven or eight hours in a row.] It can be seen that Leaf was still very regretful of the tour time.

The fellow netizens thought about it. Two hours was enough for that, so they didn’t force the question too urgently.

After five minutes, Leaf finally posted a screenshot of his harvest in the forum, then said goodbye to his fellow netizens to prepare for the stall later.

Those poor fellow netizens looked at the screenshot of the backpack. The item was filled to the brim, but there were no item descriptions, so they didn’t know what those items were for. It was like a cat’s claw was scratching their hearts. They were about to die of curiosity.

Damn it, I’m begging for an owner who’s willing to tell the whole story!

Many players of the 2nd Newbie Village had already seen the notice in the post that Leaf intended to set up a stall to sell things, and out of their desire for things form the Mysterious Ancient City, they called their friends, so in just a few minutes’ time, two or three hundred people had gathered around the village entrance.

“Here we go, the carriage is coming. Let’s give way. Give Leaf a piece of land to facilitate his things. Let’s make a deal. No one is allowed to grab. Line up in order of priority. Only those who grabbed a number can go to the stall to pick something!”

The first player who arrived at the entrance of the village was an organizer, so before others came over, they prepared a thick stack of cardboard-sized papers with numbers on them, and each person who showed up was given one, which was called “shopping first to get the number.”

Players were eager to try all kinds of new things, and although they did not know what this was about, they all happily took the numbers. Then under the loud directions of the first player, they understood the meaning of the number taking and obediently lined up.

When Leaf got down from the carriage, what he saw was a long line, and pairs of burning eyes. He didn’t stop for a moment and started assembling a small stall…It couldn’t be called a small stall since the stall was quite large. He laid out all the items he brought from the Ancient City, excluding those for his own use or for presents, all neatly laid out in order.

However, there were too many things, which caused him pricing troubles. Leaf remembered the purchase prices of those goods. The most expensive wasn’t more than 5 gold coins. Finally, he simply divided things by type: incense bags 1 gold coin, hairpins and jade pendants 3 gold coins, paintings 5 gold coins, ornaments up to 10 gold coins…

The system’s own price tag function came into good use here. The players could just pick up the goods and they would know their prices.

That wasn’t all. Leaf looked at the dazzling array of goods on the stall cloth, then glanced towards the queue of players with a friendly smile, and took out fifteen Yangchun noodles ¹ and fifteen small wontons, then said in a loud voice, “These are the two foods I brought back from the Ancient City, customers who spend 50 gold coins in my stall will receive a free sample, only 30 samples in total, first come first served!”

Free was the best!

Once the players in line heard this, their enthusiasm for shopping became even stronger, and the players holding the first 30 number plates in their hands were even more excited and rubbed their hands together. They thought that they could actually receive a free item for only 50 gold coins. Wasn’t this something that could be achieved by just buying one or two things? Yangchun noodles and small wontons, here they come!

The stall was big enough to get five by five.

The result was they could start to buy when the people found things, but the price tags were so cheap. 1 gold 2 gold 3 gold could be marked out, while the most expensive was only 10 gold coins. Leaf shouldn’t spill money, right? Money couldn’t be spent like this, ah…

The Lin Family Sheep was the first player in line, but also with the idea of the queue behind him and the number of people. His character was a worrying kind, so when he saw Leaf actually marked the price of goods so low, he couldn’t help but advise him. “Leaf, ah. The price of your things…isn’t it too cheap? At least your hard work in the Ancient City to buy and bring things back should be considered, ah. Selling to us like this or free, what’s the difference?”

Leaf was also a bit embarrassed. If he said he leaned in the direction of the black-hearted merchants, but there were still people who thought that the price was too cheap, no one would dare to believe it. The price of these items in the Ancient city were even lower!

“It’s okay. You guys don’t worry. The prices aren’t marked wrong. I can still make a lot!”

When he saw that Leaf had peace of mind and was waiting to receive money, The Lin Family Sheep didn’t say anything more, just buried his head to pick things. However, his “just pick two things” plan had to be changed. With the price tags, he had to buy more to reach a total of 50 gold coins.

After making his selection, The Lin Family Sheep chose two paintings, an embroidered screen, a celadon vase, a bamboo-shaped hairpin, and five jade pendants to make up the total, one of which was in the shape of a sheep. He did some mental calculations, and it was exactly 50 gold coins. He happily gave himself a compliment in his heart, thinking that he was really a mediocre little genius in putting together a bill.

After he paid, he chose the Yangchun noodles from the two food items, for no other reason than that they seemed to have more volume than the small wontons…

Other people’s selection was still in progress. The Lin Family Sheep didn’t leave directly after he finished buying, instead he stayed to help Leaf maintain order.

Some people moved fast, bought what they wanted and then decisively paid before leaving. However, there were some people who were more torn. They picked up this item, hesitated to buy it, picked up that item, also wanted to buy it a little, but couldn’t buy too much. They could not use up a moment of hesitation.

The quality was the same, the price was the same, for a few choose one item among others, sometimes someone simply had to force a difficult choice.

At that moment, someone picked up an object from the stall and asked the seller in a loud voice, “Leaf, this thing looks like a musical instrument, but we don’t recognize it, let alone know how to use it, so it’s too much of a loss to buy it as an ornament.”

Leaf looked up and found the player was holding a long-handled thing with a small trumpet mouth. When he saw it, it reminded him of his own experience as he bought those musical instruments.
