Chapter 177 New Rules of the Game

Tang Qianshuo's follow-up PD never expected that something like this would happen today.

The handful of rice that was just given was originally something the rice shop owner said verbally. There is no such rule in the program team's rules. When meeting the stall owner's gaze, the PD who was following the camera instinctively refused.

After hearing Director Zheng's voice in the headphones, the head that was about to shake immediately changed its trajectory.

I originally thought that giving one was already the limit, but I didn't expect that Tang Qianshuo, who was originally very sad, would lose his sorrow in an instant and asked for another one.

Since Director Zheng agreed to the first shot, for the second shot, the PD will just have to wait for Director Zheng’s instructions.

Tang Qianshuo naturally knew that the stall owner was looking at the PD behind him. He turned around and glanced at the dazed PD. It really didn’t work...

He sighed and lowered his head in grievance, "I worked so hard to move so much rice, and I can't even get a buy five get one free discount?"

Tang Qianshuo's little face was wrinkled, looking aggrieved, but even so it did not affect his handsomeness.

Compared with the rice shop owner, the stall owner at the task point has stronger professional ethics. Even if she wants to agree to Tang Qianshuo's request in her heart, she cannot make a promise easily without the permission of the program team.

"Give it to him." Zheng Wen's calm voice came from the PD's headphones.

Even though he didn't understand the director's reason, the PD still nodded to the stall owner immediately.

"Okay, okay, since you're pretty, I'll give you a buy five get one free discount."

When the stall owner saw the program crew nod, he took another folding fan from the stall for Tang Qianshuo. Now there were only eight folding fans left on the stall waiting for the next guest.

In fact, when Tang Qianshuo got the first folding fan, he was no longer sad, and his complexion had returned to normal, but he had not yet trained himself to control his emotions freely, which resulted in him still feeling aggrieved when he casually asked for the second one.

Tang Qianshuo pinched his fingers and took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, "Can I..."

"No!" The stall owner glared with a look of dismay.

The stall owner is also very old and has seen all kinds of people. She just treats it as making the children happy for the first two times, but if they push it further, she will not be so easy to talk to.

Tang Qianshuo lowered his head and curled his lips. It turned out that he was not easy to fool!

When he looked up again, a very decent smile was on his face, "Thank you, boss! You are a nice and kind person!"

It is said that you should not hit a smiling person. After hearing Tang Qianshuo's sweet words, the boss's expression eased a lot and he handed over the packaged things.

Tang Qianshuo has spent all his money, so now he can just wander around.

The air in the ancient town was fresh. After sweating a lot, Tang Qianshuo felt that his muscles and bones had been relaxed. After storing his things at the next mission point, he began to jog in the ancient town.

Qiao Zhijing, who was doing the same task, also encountered difficulties from the rice shop owner.

Compared to the simple and kind-hearted Tang Qianshuo, Qiao Zhijing seems to be more scheming. Even when the rice shop owner offered to give him one more item, he remained firm and repeatedly stated that it was not his job to move the rice into the store. The rice shop owner had to compromise.

After getting the clue, Qiao Zhijing threw the cart and the rice on it in front of the rice shop and returned to the mission point.

Seeing that there were only eight folding fans left, he learned that they were fifty wen each and bought all of them, leaving him with a hundred wen.

These hundred coins cannot be wasted. I should hurry up and do other tasks. Maybe I can buy something else.

Near noon, all the guests arrived at the next mission point, the only ancestral hall in the ancient town.

Because the inner room of the ancestral hall is dedicated to ancestral tablets and is not open to the public, the program crew and guests borrowed the courtyard outside the ancestral hall.

There were eight armchairs in the courtyard, and a table next to each armchair.

All the items that the guests had bought in the morning had been placed in boxes with their names on them, and the eight people sat on the corresponding armchairs according to the names on the boxes.

After the guests were seated, Zheng Wen held the loudspeaker and said, "Our next round of games will begin soon. Because something unexpected happened during the game, I will now repeat the rules."

Eight guests: “?”

Wu Shuai spoke first: "Director, what happened?"

Zheng Wen smiled mysteriously, "This is related to the next game session, I can't reveal it."

Jin Suiran sat next to Xu Zhao. She quietly approached Xu Zhao and said, "I think Director Zheng's smile is malicious. This change is definitely not a good thing. I don't know what the rules of the game have changed."

Xu Zhao nodded. Speaking of the unexpected events, Xu Zhao remembered that he had threatened the program crew to tell him the mission point.

Could it be that this was the cause of the incident?

Zheng Wen ignored Jin Suiran who was whispering and announced the new rules of the game.

"This round will still have five merchants from all over the country coming to buy the items in your hands. We will use a blind guessing trading method. For example, if a merchant wants to buy a folding fan, whether you have a folding fan or not, you can stand up and write your offer and quantity on the board."

"Only the guest who stands up can raise questions. If the questioning fails, twenty coins will be deducted from the final profit. If the questioning succeeds, the guest being raised will lose the qualification to sell goods in this round and twenty coins will be deducted from the final profit."

Wu Shuai raised the question again, "What if no one raises questions this round?"

"Then the person with the lowest price and the largest quantity in this round can trade with the merchant."

Tang Qianshuo felt a bit of a headache after hearing this. It took him a while to fully understand what he had heard. He raised his hand and everyone looked at him.

"Does that mean that no matter if I have the item or not, I can write down any quantity of the item within a reasonable price. If no one questions it and my price is the lowest and the quantity is the largest, then I can trade with the merchant. But what should I do if I don't actually have the item or don't have that much of it?"

Zheng Wen knew that the rules of the game would become much more complicated after the upgrade, so he patiently explained: "If there is no product or the quantity is insufficient, then the transaction will be terminated directly, and the person who caused the transaction to end will have his profit deducted by 100 coins."

"There is another situation. If no one questions it and the person who lied does not affect the entire transaction, then he will get half of the profit of this transaction. If the number of people who meet the conditions is greater than or equal to two, it will be divided equally among these people."

This is the general rule, profits are added and subtracted, which confused many people.

Xu Zhao roughly explained the rules in a simple and popular way. "The rules of the game are that the person who lies must lie reasonably and cannot exaggerate. Otherwise, the transaction will fail and a hundred coins will be deducted from the profit. The number of people who actually own the items must be controlled within the number purchased. However, in order to make more profits, it is best not to lie."
