Chapter 16 [You can earn money by living](1/2)
[Anchor, please tell me the right words, are you still missing something?]
【If the broadcast is off, I will also go to eat.】
[Hey, the anchor went to that stall, is there something good? It doesn’t look like it!]
【Is that also called a stall?】
【Is that also called a thing?】
……
In the live broadcast room, barrages flew up.
Fans only saw Su Bai walking blankly towards the old man setting up the stall.
But I don’t know,
Su Bai's target was not the old man at all, but the shade of a tree in front of him.
The tree is a white orchid tree, with thumb-sized flowers blooming all over the tree, and the fragrance fills half the street.
The dazzling sunlight is filtered through the lush branches and leaves, creating patches of light on the ground.
To the two security guards enjoying the shade under the trees, it was just a spot of light.
In Su Bai's eyes, a text was composed:
[Series of missions - Live to earn money - Triggered.]
【Live to earn money: You must also eat well today.】
[Task description: Eat a touching lunch within 30 minutes.]
[Task reward: Random survival skill extraction.]
【Do you accept: Yes/No?】
Su Bai had the urge to rub his eyes.
Before I could take action, the wind suddenly picked up, rustling the branches and leaves of the white orchid tree, and the light spots on the ground were crushed into pieces, no longer able to be written.
At the same time, fragrant white petals fell down and landed on Su Bai's hands and shoulders.
The charming aroma did not improve Su Bai's mood. He had a bad feeling in his chest and didn't know where to exhale.
Shen Nima's "Only by living can you make money",
System, you really worked hard to make us earn money,
Are you still afraid that I will die?
Also,
What does "you have to eat well today" mean?
Hey, it’s not a food video, it’s a channel change.
What depressed Su Bai the most was the task requirements.
What does "having a touching lunch" mean?
It’s in a food animation,
The kind that shines brightly as soon as it comes out of the pot,
The kind that makes you burst into tears after eating it?
Although Su Bai has a huge sum of more than 2 million, he really can't afford it.
After scratching my head for a long time, I finally made the choice...
Of course I accepted it!
After all, I didn’t say what would happen if I couldn’t complete the task?
If it can’t be completed, then it can’t be completed.
Su Bai is more concerned about another point.
Just two tasks,
I can vaguely grasp the rules of system tasks and rewards.
Although they are all related to krypton gold,
But the tasks of the two are actually clearly different.
The previous task "You can earn money only if you can make money", from the task name to the triggering method to the rewards,
Essentially, it’s all about letting leeks thrive so that they can earn more money;
This mission "You can earn money only if you live", from the mission name to the triggering method to the rewards,
What stands out is that one is alive.
If the leeks are dead, it will be difficult to harvest.
The reward for the former is the skill to make money, while the reward for the latter is the skill to survive.
The system clearly expresses its purpose through task rewards.
Su Bai wanted to express his gratitude to the system seriously: Thank you!
"What survival skills will it be?"
"Invulnerable to all poisons? Ganges water is like pure water."
"Immortality? If you get stabbed, you have to run to the hospital quickly. If you wait too long, the wound will heal."
"Or something else?"
Su Bai adjusted his glasses habitually, thinking about it, he was quite looking forward to it.
Without giving up, I took another look at the mission introduction, hoping to see any loopholes or hints.
He didn't see any loopholes or prompts, but Su Bai saw pieces of barrage going by.
It’s all about the stall in front:
[Stop arguing with those messy things, didn’t you see that the old man was in a bad state?]
[There is something wrong, I am wearing a thick overalls on such a hot day, and my face is still pale.]
[The lips are full of dead skin and the eyes are straight.]
[Anchor, go and have a look.]
……
Su Bai's expression changed. Before, his attention was entirely on the task prompts, and he really didn't look too carefully.
I took a quick glance at it and felt something was wrong, but I didn’t have time to take a closer look.
At this moment, there was a barrage reminder. Su Bai looked carefully and saw something.
First of all, what the old man is wearing is not the military coat he thought before, but the old green work clothes made of coarse cloth, as thick as a cotton coat;
Secondly, what the old man calls a stall is actually a sack folded in half and placed underneath. On it are a pile of stone balls the size of a baby's fist, as well as some colorful beads and rusty copper coins.
In the end, the old man's state, as mentioned in the barrage, has reached the point of trance.
"Don't worry, everyone, let me ask around." Su Bai shook his head, and after speaking, he glanced at the security guard who was also smoking under the shade of a tree, so he walked over and asked politely:
"Two security guards, that old man, what's going on? It doesn't look right."
"Anchor."
A young security guard glanced at Su Bai's mobile phone hanging on his chest. When he saw the live broadcast room above, he also said politely: "That old man? I've seen him for several days, and he has been sitting there, and no one buys him.
This thing doesn’t move at all the whole day.”
The middle-aged security guard next to him interjected: "Usually he drinks a couple of sips of water and eats some solid food. But today I don't think he even drank a drop of water."
"It's a crime, no one buys his stuff, so he just sits there all day long."
The young security guard curled his lips: "Who bought those stone balls he bought? They were sold everywhere in dollar stores when I was a kid. I must have been cheated. There may be something wrong here."
He nodded his head as he spoke with a firm tone.
After hearing this, Su Bai understood. He thanked the two security guards first, then went to buy water from a small stall nearby, and walked towards the old man in work clothes.
"Old man, come on, have a drink of water."
The old man slowly raised his head and looked at Su Bai for several seconds, then waved his hands repeatedly as if he had reacted: "If you don't want to drink, you're not thirsty."
Then, he looked over with longing eyes, held up a pink stone ball in his hand and handed it over, saying: "It's 100 yuan each, boss, buy one."
Su Bai shook his head, pushed the stone ball back, and put the water next to the old man: "No, you drink the water."
Discussions immediately started in the live broadcast room:
[Selling this broken stone ball for 100? It’s too sinister and not worthy of sympathy.]
[Exactly, didn’t you listen to what the security guard said? They were everywhere in two dollar stores when I was a kid, and I saw them too when I was a kid.]
