Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Wishing Tree, Come and hang a sign! ...

Su Qing used all the money from selling vegetables to exchange for gold coins to pay off her debts, and she still had more than 30,000 gold coins left. From being in debt to being rich, she was so happy.

However, there is not much currency left in this world, barely enough for the daily operation of the base. Lu Chen gave her the money and asked her to quietly put it into their car when she was packing their things last night.

It’s not enough to just rely on cooperation with Lu Chen. It seems that we need to expand the scope of business.

When they came over yesterday, they sponsored her with some supplies. Considering that the facade of the base was indeed a bit simple, Su Qing upgraded the fence when she saw that there were enough materials. The original wooden fence was changed into a tall iron fence, and the door was also changed into a large black iron door. Although it still looked a bit thin, it was much better than the wooden fence.

After finishing the fence, she thought that now she had gold coins, which were plentiful and could be spent on various things, so she opened the exchange mall that she had only glanced at at first, intending to see what she could buy.

As soon as she opened it, a whole page of purchasable items was displayed. However, before she had time to take a closer look, she was attracted by an item at the very front that had a big red mark and said it was 10% off for a limited time and would be gone in 30 seconds.

Before Su Qing could see clearly what it was and before his brain could react, his hand had already pressed down.

In an instant, most of the products on the entire page went dark again.

When she realized what was happening, she looked at the gold coin display and saw that there were only 200 left. She felt like crying. These gold coins had been in her account for less than an hour.

Su Qing checked the purchased items and wanted to take a good look at what was so expensive.

She opened her backpack and flipped to the bottom. There was a tree in the last compartment.

"System!!! A tree at a 10% discount still costs 36,500! You are robbing me!!!" Su Qing complained excitedly.

"Host, this is not an ordinary tree, it is a wishing tree."

"The wishing tree is just a tree!"

"No, no, no, you plant it in the base. The wishing tree comes with a vending machine. You can set a price and buy a wishing card. Write your wish on the card. As long as you can throw the card into the tree and it gets caught, there's a high probability that your wish will come true. If you get it caught ten times in total, there's even a surprise."

Uh... so magical? Su Qing's mood calmed down a little.

"Is it so magical? Then I'll go plant it now and write a wish that the apocalypse will end."

"Wishes must be realistic and not divorced from reality. Unrealistic wishes like world nuclear war, death for writing one's name, overthrowing the powerful, living another 500 years, etc. will all be automatically blocked. Such signs will not be posted no matter what method is used."

Didn't they say that hanging a sign would make it happen? If you don't even allow a sign, isn't that cheating? Su Qing was speechless.

“What can be achieved then?”

"For example, if you can't find any elementary school students tonight, you can try to achieve a small goal of going to bed and waking up early, etc. This kind of goal is probably achievable."

This is all pretty much the same! Is there internet now? Can I play games?!

“I want a refund!!!”

“No returns or exchanges on goods sold.”

"Big liar! You're forcing me to buy you something!"

"You can't say that. This also provides spiritual sustenance for everyone in the base. After such a long time in the apocalypse, people have some psychological problems. Having a tree like this can relieve people's psychological pressure."

Bullshit! Those are all excuses! It's her own fault for not looking carefully before buying the item. This is clearly a consumer trap!

Su Qing opened the topographic map and studied for a moment where to plant the trees. Now, as soon as you enter the gate of the base, the restaurant mission center is on the left. She also plans to build a commercial street there in the future, and the residential area is on the right.

She decided to plant the wishing tree in the middle of the two areas. She tapped the wishing tree in her backpack and a planting box popped up.

A towering tree suddenly grew in the middle of the road in the base. The trunk of the tree was thick and the branches were lush and intertwined, but there were not many leaves, which hung sparsely on the branches.

There is a machine on each side of the tree.

This scene startled the people in the base, and they all went under the tree to investigate.

"Sister Fang Qing, this is another magical power of Sister Su Qing." Li Yi stood under the tree and looked up at the big tree.

"That should be it."

"Oh my! This base of ours is truly incredible! The tree trunks are so thick, they must be hundreds of years old. They just grew out of nowhere."

"Have you seen it? The fence of our base has also changed. It's now an iron fence."

"I saw it. I was right next to the fence and saw with my own eyes that the wooden fence suddenly turned into an iron fence. I thought I was seeing things. It was an amazing operation."

The people gathered around the tree and started discussing the matter one after another.

At this time, Su Qing squeezed in from behind the crowd and stood at the front.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce you to the tree behind me. It's a wishing tree. If you spend 2 new coupons at the machines on either side, you can get a wishing card. Write your wish on it and throw it into the tree, and your wish will come true."

"You can only win once a day. If you win ten times in total, you can get a surprise reward."

"Wishing tree? Hang a sign on the tree and your wish will come true? Is that true?"

"Isn't this a bit expensive? It's 2 new coupons."

"Ten brands? Doesn't that mean you'll definitely get an SSS if you draw ten times in a row?"

"Everyone can give it a try. Everything is possible. I wish you all can get what you wish for. Also, a friendly reminder, don't even think about cheating. Cheating cards don't have the ability to make wishes come true." Su Qing said and stepped aside, making room for everyone to look at him.

"Sister Su Qing, is this thing real?" Wang Tianqi came over and asked.

"You'll know if you try it."

2 The new coupons are neither expensive nor cheap, but no one dares to be the first person to try making a wish. After all, it sounds illusory and a little unpredictable.

Su Qing stood there for a long time but no one came to make a wish. Just as he was about to be the first to make a wish, Fang Qing next to him moved first.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Qing.

After Fang Qing swiped her card to pay on the machine, the window of the machine opened and a red wishing card was placed on the tray inside. A red rope was hung on the wishing card with a red pendant at the bottom. Fang Qing picked up the card. There was a pen holder hanging on one side of the machine with many pens in it. She took the pen, thought for a while, and wrote something on it.

The people behind stretched their necks to see what wish Fang Qing made, but before anyone could see clearly, Fang Qing was already holding the sign and preparing to throw it.

She looked up and saw where it would be easier to hang it, shook the sign in her hand, and then threw it. The red rope on the sign was caught on a branch, and the red pendant was wrapped around it several times, hanging firmly.

Pa pa pa pa, good!

When everyone saw that the sign was hung up, they cheered and applauded excitedly.

"Manager Fang, what did you write?"

"When will this wish come true? Isn't there a time limit?"

"This looks like fun."

No matter how others asked, Fang Qing didn't say what she had written. She just said to wait and see. Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and they were really itching to do so. A few more people walked over, bought wishing cards, wrote their wishes on them, and threw the cards.

The signs thrown by several people were all hung on the tree.

About twenty minutes passed.

"Sister Fang Qing! Sister Fang Qing!"

Fang Qing heard someone calling her and looked around. She saw Zhuangzhuang struggling to squeeze in from the crowd. She hurried over and pulled Zhuangzhuang to her side.

"What's wrong?"

"Little Tangyuan's throat just got better after taking some medicine. She said it doesn't hurt at all now. She asked me to come over and ask you if she can stop taking the medicine in the future."

"Really?" Fang Qing's face lit up with joy. "That's amazing! The wish I just wrote was for little Tangyuan's throat to get better soon."

Little Tangyuan had a cold recently and her throat had been uncomfortable. Even after the cold was gone, her throat was still sore. She had taken a lot of medicine but it didn't help much. When she was holding the wishing card just now, she couldn't think of any wish for a moment, so she simply wrote something saying that she hoped little Tangyuan would get better soon.

I didn’t expect it to actually come true.

"Oh my! I found 5 new coupons! Whose money is this? No one lost any money! Hey! Then my wish came true! I just wrote that I hope to find money today! It works!"

"Hey! My ring! I lost it a few days ago and couldn't remember where I put it. I just wrote that I hoped to find it, and then I searched my pockets and it was there! This... I clearly remembered that there was nothing in my pocket..."

One after another, the wishes of several people who made wishes came true. When everyone saw how magical this thing was, they all went to the machine to swipe their cards and buy wishing cards.

There was a long line in front of the two cameras, and many people were standing under the wishing tree, throwing signs back and forth.

The prince threw the sign several times but couldn't hang it up. He saw the people next to him hanging it up easily, but he was the only one who couldn't hang it up despite trying various angles. He was so anxious that he was sweating.

"What's going on? Why can't I hang up?"

Su Qing saw the prince tossing for a long time but couldn't hang the sign, so he walked over and asked, "What wish did you write?"

"Hmm... I hope the person who beat me up suffers bad luck for the rest of his life."

…

"This wish is unrealistic. Try another one, or you'll never be able to hang it up."

"Then what should I write? I just want to make those people suffer."

"Maybe you could try being unlucky for three days?"

The prince picked up a pen and changed the word "a lifetime" to "three days", then threw the sign again, and this time it finally hung up.

"Haha! Miss Su, I'm hanging up now. Thank you so much."

"Don't write such unrealistic wishes next time."

"Oh, I get it. It's just a pity that I can't see them suffer with my own eyes."

"Based on my experience, they definitely don't have an easy time."

…

Blazing Base

Boss Chen and several of his men were negotiating a business deal with someone. After the deal was done, he called a few people to carry the goods to the car.

Several men came out and one of them suddenly tripped over his left foot and fell. When he fell, he grabbed the two people next to him with both hands, and then they all fell to the ground one by one.

Everyone was a little surprised at this scene. Boss Chen heard the noise and looked over. He frowned and said, "What are you doing? You fell down on flat ground. Get up quickly and don't embarrass me in front of others."

When several people heard the boss's scolding, they hurriedly got up, lowered their heads and cursed the man who caused them to fall, and then went to lift the loaded boxes.

They were lifting a wooden box in pairs and had just put their hands under the box.

"Ouch!"

"Ah! My hand!"

"There's a nail under the box!"

Several people raised their bloody hands and wailed.

"Boss Ma, what does this mean?" Boss Chen looked at his injured men and turned to look at the boss of the trading party.

"What's going on? Didn't you just move this box? How come there are nails here?" Boss Ma asked his men in confusion.

The people who were asked looked at each other in confusion. "This... there was nothing when we just lifted it up."

Upon seeing this, Boss Chen winked and had those people replaced. Another group of his men walked over and took a look under the box, but found it was very flat and empty.

After loading the things back into the car, Boss Chen led his men away. On the way, the few people who had bullied the prince were sitting in a car. Suddenly, the tire burst halfway through the car, and the whole car overturned into the ditch on the side of the road. The others quickly stopped the car and pulled the few people out. They saw that their heads were bleeding, and they were wailing in pain. Their condition was very miserable.

"This is really weird. You guys are so unlucky today."
