The Fake Heiress Fades from the Spotlight, but Winning Big by Slacking Off and Collecting Rent

After a car accident, Yan Qiao was selected by the Space-Time Bureau. If she completed ten lifetimes of missions, she could be reborn. She worked overtime, following a 997 work schedule to finish h...

Chapter 50 An Unreasonable Request

Then, Zhang Song came out and issued another task.

As soon as he came out, Chen Zhou thought of the embarrassing incident he had made yesterday.

"There are daily tasks?"

Yan Yaoyao said, "No, it depends on the production team."

Shen Zhou stood aside with a sullen face, listening to Zhang Song issue the task.

This mission is related to the indigenous people of the deserted island.

Many of the deserted islands in Country A are inhabited by primitive people who live in complete isolation and have little contact with outsiders.

The three relatively friendly tribes that the program team found out about were the Babu, Agu, and Zhuotan tribes.

What these guests need to do is bring their items and conduct the transactions.

The supplies needed for the trade were provided by the production team; all they had to do was successfully sell the goods and barter with the tribe.

"Everyone needs to participate in this task; no one can be absent. The production team will rank participants based on task completion and performance. Different rankings will naturally result in different rewards. Now, let's have one group draw lots."

Ruan Cha stepped forward, reached into the box, and pulled out a slip of paper.

She drew the name of the Babu tribe in the east, which came with a map and indicated that they needed to sell apples.

Zhang Song waved his hand, and staff members pushed out a cart.

"These are your supplies. We look forward to your outstanding performance."

Next up is Group Two. Yan Yaoyao drew the Agu Tribe, and the resource she needed to trade was half a pig.

This half-pig was the one Zhang Song and Yan Qiao bought yesterday.

He didn't eat anything, and today he has to give away half a pig.

The remaining two, Yan Qiao and Xi Luo, were in charge of the Zhuotan tribe, and the items they needed to sell were clothes.

Zhang Song said, "These things aren't free. Each group needs to have 1,000 yuan deducted to purchase supplies. What you get in return for these supplies will belong to you. What you get depends on your own abilities."

Yan Yaoyao's face stiffened. "We don't have any money to deduct."

Zhang Song looked knowing. "You can pay in advance."

Yan Yaoyao looked down and saw that her account balance was indeed -1000.

When will she be able to earn back that thousand yuan?

Yan Yaoyao felt a wave of despair, but this was a task she was forced to participate in.

She had absolutely no desire to deal with these savages.

However, the thought of the reward later made her feel a little better.

"Brother Chenzhou, let's see if we can get some food from the local residents."

Chen Zhou's voice was gentle: "Okay."

Then, Yan Yaoyao asked, "Do all the local residents speak English?"

Zhang Song: "Of course not. They have their own tribal language, but it's not completely incommunicable. Their language has similarities to some of our existing common languages. For example, the Babu and Zhuotan tribes are more inclined towards English."

Yan Yaoyao was taken aback, looking at the task card in her hand.

"What about the Agu tribe?"

Zhang Songdao said, "It is written above that their tribal language is biased towards Western languages."

"Spanish?" Yan Yaoyao looked troubled; she only knew English.

She looked at Chen Zhou and asked, "Brother Chen Zhou, do you speak Spanish?"

Chen Zhou shook his head. "No."

Yan Yaoyao was conflicted. Then, a thought struck her, and she looked at Yan Qiao, setting her sights on them.

"Yan Qiao, I have a favor to ask..."

Yan Qiao looked surprised: "You knew it was an unreasonable request, yet you still said it."

Yan Yaoyao: "..." That's just polite talk!

Shen Zhou understood Yan Yaoyao's meaning and immediately said, "We'll switch with you."

Yan Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Change what?"

"Change the task. Anyway, it doesn't matter to you whether it's English or Spanish." Shen Zhou's tone was still commanding.

Anyway, Yan Qiao doesn't know how.

Xi Luo scoffed, "Even if it's the same for us, why should we accommodate you? You're dreaming."

Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao's expressions both froze.

"State your terms," ​​Chen Zhou said.

Xi Luo: "..." There's nothing to say to this kind of person.

Yan Yaoyao lowered her stance: "Yan Qiao, Brother Chenzhou is right. It doesn't matter which tribe you're from. Don't you speak five languages? Just do us a favor and help us. I know you care about Brother Chenzhou... but we're truly sincere towards each other. Please grant us your wish..."

"Wait a minute." Yan Qiao raised her hand to interrupt, "What did I do to Chen Zhou? You two are truly in love, why do I need to make things happen? Did I do something to make you misunderstand?"

Yan Yaoyao sighed, looking understanding: "Since you say it's a misunderstanding, then let's just say it's a misunderstanding."

Yan Qiao rolled her eyes and looked at Chen Zhou impatiently.

"When you came to me today asking for an alliance, I thought I had already made things clear to you. What didn't you say to her? She's having an attack now, aren't you going to say anything? Chen Zhou, I don't have time to play along with your two acting. Please tell your girlfriend not to go around ruining my reputation."

Shen Zhou tugged at Yan Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, don't say things like that anymore. I have nothing to do with Yan Qiao."

Yan Yaoyao looked bewildered. What did Yan Qiao say when she went to ask for an alliance?

She felt both embarrassed and annoyed; she should have asked first.

"Oh...can we still exchange our mission cards?"

Yan Qiao glanced at the pork on her cart. "If we exchange the mission card, should we exchange the supplies too?"

Yan Yaoyao said, "If you don't want to change, then we'll change to another tribe."

Are you sure?

Before Zhang Song could even speak to stop her, he heard Yan Yaoyao say decisively, "It's confirmed, we want to change."

Yan Qiao nodded, "Okay, let's switch then. As you said, I speak five languages, so it doesn't matter to me."

Anyone could tell that Yan Yaoyao's words were sarcastic.

The persona of "five languages" has long since collapsed; who would believe that Yan Qiao really has this ability?

[Haha, Yan Qiao speaks five languages, while I'm eating shit upside down.]

Come on, you guys always say you'll eat shit upside down, but I've never seen you actually do it.

[Yan Qiao's fans, enough already! The "academic genius" persona is one thing, but the "five-language" persona is just untenable.]

Yan Yaoyao happily exchanged task cards with her, "Brother Chenzhou, we're sure we can complete this task very well!"

Meanwhile, Shiloh, standing to the side, was indignant: "Why did you switch with them? Didn't you hear her mocking you?"

Yan Qiao blinked. "All you need to know is that I never let myself suffer a loss."

Xi Luo looked incredulous; they had already suffered a loss.

Ruan Cha, on the other hand, was thinking of bringing more items to exchange with the local residents, hoping to get even more in return.

"Qiaoqiao, what do you think about me bringing some dried abalone?"

Yan Qiao reminded them, "It's best not to. The Babu tribe doesn't eat seafood."

"What?" Ruan Cha turned around in surprise. "How did you know?"

Yan Qiao retorted, "Don't you guys ever check your phones when you're free? I've looked into some primitive tribes in Country A before, so I know a bit about them."

Ruan Cha patted her chest, looking as if she was still shaken.

Since we're on their own turf, we have to be careful to avoid offending them.
