Chapter 37 [Seeking support and collection]
Lin Leyou was taken aback. "Signature? The village chief's signature should suffice, right?"
The other person nodded. "Yes."
Just as Lin Leyou was about to put down his pen, he saw Song Ying walking over. He said to the man in front of him, "The village chief is here. You should ask him to sign it in person."
The other party's expression changed, but he did not refuse. He took the item from Lin Leyou's hand, but instead of walking towards Song Ying, he stood there with a cold expression, as if waiting for Song Ying to come over.
Upon seeing his sour face, Song Ying snorted coldly, "So you're here to deliver the goods?"
The other person didn't speak, but simply handed over what they were holding.
Song Ying didn't say much, signed his document, and said, "Alright, get out of here."
The two deliverymen drove off quickly. Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment before saying, "That person seemed very afraid of you?"
Song Ying blinked, looking quite pleased. "Really? You figured it out?"
Lin Leyou knew he was right. "Yes, he doesn't dare to approach you. He's definitely afraid of you. And when you came over just now, his expression got more and more strange, like he was about to turn around and run away at any moment."
Song Ying smiled and said, "That's not bad."
"Oh, right, these are the things the convenience store needs. Please pack them up."
Lin Leyou: "Okay."
Everything is easy to categorize; the convenience store has everything. You just need to put a price tag on it and place it where there are other items.
Surprisingly, the most frequently restocked items were cigarettes and alcohol. It's true that no matter where you are, there will always be people who enjoy smoking and drinking. I used to crave them too, but because I needed to save money, I could only enjoy them a few times a year.
Nothing happened during the day, but we could faintly hear some sounds coming from the direction of the farmhouse in the distance, which sounded like they were repairing a house.
He counted his earnings for the day. He had just restocked his stock when several people came to buy alcohol, mostly middle-aged men. Of course, they also bought alcohol and cigarettes. So, his income for the day was really good, over a thousand yuan.
The next two days were very peaceful. When I went to sleep at night, I returned to the real world, and when night fell in the real world, I would go to the endless world.
On the evening of the third day, when the shop was closing, Song Ying came to find Lin Leyou. "Someone will take over the shop tomorrow. I've arranged a driver for you. He'll pick you up at nine in the morning, right where you got off the bus. Don't forget."
Lin Leyou recalled the scene when he first came to Shangyu Village. He got off the bus by the roadside, walked along a small path, climbed over a dirt slope, and saw Shangyu Village. It was very close.
"Okay, I understand."
Song Ying nodded, then handed him something else. "The houses at the agritainment center have all been repaired. We found something over there, probably left behind by a previous tourist. I'm giving it to you."
Lin Leyou took it and said, "Thank you."
Only after Song Ying turned and left did he examine the item.
The small mirror, no bigger than the palm of your hand, has a very simple, pure black frame without any patterns. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the most ordinary small mirror that you can put in the palm of your hand in a two-dollar store in the real world.
However, the system notification arrived very quickly.
"Blue-clad black-makeup mirror. If you continuously reflect on an object for ten seconds, you can replicate everything about that object. When used on yourself, you can completely transform into that object for three minutes. Cooldown time: 24 hours."
"For every 1000 points spent, the mirror time can be permanently reduced by one second, up to a maximum of five seconds. For every 1000 points spent, the transformation time can be increased by one minute, up to a maximum of seven minutes. When the black mirror's replication time is 5 seconds and the transformation time is 10 minutes, it can be upgraded to purple equipment and gain hidden attributes."
Before Lin Leyou could even process what was happening, he instinctively pointed the mirror at Song Ying, who was walking away with his back to him. Ten seconds isn't a long time, but at certain times...
"Replica complete."
Upon hearing the notification sound, Lin Leyou immediately put the black makeup mirror into her backpack. Song Ying seemed to sense something and glanced back, but Lin Leyou had already turned and walked into the store, so he didn't pay any attention.
With the doors and windows closed and the curtains drawn, Lin Leyou, sitting on the bed hugging a pillow, took out the black makeup mirror again to check herself.
"Replicate Song Ying, the current village chief of Shangyu Village. Do you wish to use this?"
A countdown timer followed.
The 24-hour cooldown timer does not start from the moment you use the ability to replicate the target, but rather from the moment the replication is complete.
That's not bad. If I use the replicated ability 24 hours later, and then use the mirror to look at other people during the transformation, I can achieve a seamless transition.
It lasts for a total of six minutes. It's pretty good equipment, especially since... it can be upgraded to purple gear later.
This item was probably drawn by a lucky player who wanted to use it to kill an NPC when danger came, hoping to replicate the NPC's actions. However, this unlucky player not only failed to use the item but also got killed.
Some were even incredibly unlucky, falling into the dungeon before they could retrieve their items from their inventory before dying.
This shows that items can be dropped or even stolen. NPCs can take players' items, and conversely, players can also steal items from NPCs.
Song Ying definitely knew this was a prop, but he still gave it to me. Why? If this prop could be bought from the store...
He searched for the black makeup mirror in the store, but the search results showed that the item could only be obtained through a lottery.
grass!
No wonder it's an upgradeable item; it's drawn from that vampire-sucking lottery pool. This item must have been drawn by that incredibly lucky player.
However, he never expected that it would fall into his hands now. Although he didn't know why Song Ying would give him such good equipment, he wouldn't refuse free equipment.
He glanced at the prices of blue and purple equipment in the store. Blue equipment generally cost several hundred or several thousand points, while purple equipment cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of points.
The gold-plated items... even the cheapest ones cost tens of thousands, and the expensive ones are just out of his reach. Hundreds of thousands or millions of points are beyond his current reach.
The next day, Lin Leyou got up very early. He cleaned the entire shop spotlessly and packed all his clothes and belongings into a backpack to take with him.
Even when he saw that there was still room in his backpack, he grabbed a lot of snacks from the convenience store and stuffed them in before he was satisfied and stopped.
Around nine o'clock, he left the convenience store with his bag on his back. No one came to see him off. He followed the road he remembered to the earthen slope in front of him. It was very close, only a two-minute walk.
When he stood on the earthen slope and looked back, he saw Song Ying watching him from the entrance of the small shop in the distance, and standing next to him was a familiar-looking person, Cao Bei.
