Chapter 178 I Want to Question

If you want to sell an item, the price must be based on the cost price, and the quantity is what ultimately determines who sells it.

If it is really sold at cost price, then most people should not make any profit. The emergence of questioning this rule increases the fun of the game, just to make everyone lose money, so that the level of the game can be distinguished. Otherwise, zero profit would be boring.

Now, the situation that was originally basically a sure win immediately became different.

Among this group of guests, there may be some talented people, which makes the game very complicated and it is hard to predict the outcome.

But this kind of game is more interesting.

After Xu Zhao's simplified explanation, everyone understood the rules of the game.

“Although a successful questioning may not increase your own profits, it can reduce the profits of the person being questioned, which can be considered as a disguised way of increasing your own profits.”

"If you fail to question others, your profits will be deducted. It seems that you can't question others casually."

"But if you don't question it, the person who lied will get half the profit!"

Zheng Wenke didn't care what the guests were discussing. Since Xu Zhao had already explained it, he didn't explain any more. After the staff distributed the answer boards, he directly announced: "Game start!"

As Zheng Wen finished speaking, the game officially began.

Everyone perked up and waited for the merchant to arrive.

A man wearing a bright red brocade robe with a lapel, wide body and narrow sleeves in the Western style, holding a pipe in his hand, and the smoky effect came with it as he crossed the threshold of the ancestral hall.

"Hello, sellers. I'm from the Western Regions. I want to purchase tiger-head hats. I heard that the cost price of tiger-head hats is 200 coins. I wonder if you have any and at what price you would like to sell them to me." The man spoke with a strong Western Region emphasis.

Xu Zhao raised his eyebrows. The production team took great pains to make the show feel immersive.

I originally thought that if I lied, I wouldn't know the cost price. If the price was lower than the cost price, I would be questioned all of a sudden. I didn't expect the merchant to directly report the cost price, which would make it easier for those who lied.

I have to say that the program team really made a lot of efforts to fix the bugs.

The first round of the game begins.

Zheng Wen: "Now please ask the guests with tiger hats to quote and state the quantity."

Many people picked up their pens and started writing on the answer board.

Xu Zhao looked at the other guests around her and found that quite a few of them were writing furiously. She took a quick look and saw that Tang Qianshuo, Qiao Zhijing, Su Pianpian and Lin Yuan were all writing.

There were actually four of them. With so many people, it was hard not to suspect that one of them was lying.

Since you only need to write the price and quantity, it can be completed quickly.

Zheng Wen saw that everyone had stopped writing, "Please show the question board."

The person who had just written something turned over the board and faced the camera with the side where he had written something.

Whether those who had written something or not, they all leaned forward to see what was written on the four question boards.

Qiao Zhijing, Tang Qianshuo and Su Pianpian all wrote "two hundred wen for one hat" on their title boards, while Lin Yuan wrote "two hundred wen for two hats" on his title board.

In order to sell their items, everyone wrote down the cost price, but Lin Yuan had the upper hand in terms of quantity.

Qiao Zhijing actually bought a tiger-head hat, and 500 coins can only buy two at most, so it is very likely that Lin Yuan is real.

He looked at the other people and saw that they all only wrote one, which didn't seem to be a problem. However, he was not sure if he was the first person to buy the tiger-head hat, so he had no way of knowing how many tiger-head hats there were in total.

Su Pianpian wasted a lot of time doing the litchi mission, and by the time she completed the second mission and bought the tiger-head hat, there was only one left. She knew that she had basically no chance of winning, so she might as well take a gamble.

She cast her eyes on the other three people, raised her hand as if she had made up her mind, and said, "I want to question it."

The first doubter of this game appeared.

"Pianpian, who are you questioning?" Zheng Wen asked.

Su Pianpian's gaze lingered on the other three people and finally fell on one of them.

After hearing Su Pianpian's question, Tang Qianshuo immediately became nervous and didn't dare to breathe. When Su Pianpian's eyes swept over him, his face twitched.

Fortunately, Su Pianpian didn't look too closely and said bluntly: "I doubt Qiao Zhijing, he shouldn't have a tiger-head hat."

Qiao Zhijing instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, looking confused.

Zheng Wen looked at the overall situation and knew the situation of each guest best. "Then let Brother Qiao reveal whether he has a tiger hat or not."

The things the guests bought are right next to them and they can just stand up and take them out.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qiao Zhijing took out a tiger-head hat from the box beside him.

Who said he doesn’t have a tiger-head hat!

With the help of this tiger-head hat, he successfully reduced Su Pianpian's profit by twenty cents.

"How could it be?" Su Pianpian couldn't believe it. "I clearly saw you bought a folding fan, how come you still had money to buy a tiger-head hat?"

It turned out that after Su Pianpian separated from Xu Zhao, she walked for a long time and saw Qiao Zhijing standing in front of a stall buying many folding fans from afar.

After waiting for Qiao Zhijing to leave, Su Pianpian immediately went up to the stall owner and asked him, because all the folding fans had been sold out, and the stall owner had seen Su Pianpian's movies. After asking the two to take a photo together, the stall owner did not hide anything and directly revealed how much money Qiao Zhijing spent on buying that many folding fans.

Qiao Zhijing's background was basically revealed completely by the stall owner.

Qiao Zhijing bought eight fans at fifty cents each, so he only had a hundred cents left.

The cost price of the tiger-head hat must be two hundred, and he simply couldn't afford it, which made Su Pianpian question Qiao Zhijing.

But now, Qiao Zhijing just took out a tiger-head hat.

Perhaps success makes people question failure, Qiao Zhijing rarely showed a devilish smile, "This is God's reward for those who work hard."

Everyone: “…”

Lin Yuan spoke first: "Please speak human language!"

The comments in the live broadcast room were all going crazy.

[If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have also questioned Brother Qiao. 】

[Your Brother Qiao is still your Brother Qiao, so mean!] 】

[I opened eight live broadcast rooms with eight mobile phones. I can guarantee that only Brother Qiao got this tiger-head hat with his own hands! 】

[The person upstairs is really rich!] 】

Qiao Zhijing did not continue to be mysterious and explained: "There is a part-time job in game design. I earned money through hard work to buy the tiger head hat."

After hearing the explanation with their own ears, everyone was confused.

Xu Zhao did not complete the task quickly. After buying the lychees, she walked around the ancient town but did not find the job spot that Qiao Zhijing mentioned.

It seems that this kind of thing really depends on luck.

No wonder the director team said there was a change. I originally thought it was a battle of wits between her and the PD, but I didn’t expect it was someone else’s.

If Qiao Zhijing earned extra money through the part-time job, would others have other means?

Xu Zhao, who got nothing, felt that this game was making it difficult for her!
