Chapter 123 Beer Festival Promotion 3
Melville and his father finally arrived at the Chamber of Commerce and sat down awkwardly in line. He looked at his shoes with leaking toes and felt uncomfortable as if flies were crawling all over his body.
The branches of the Ankang Chamber of Commerce opened in various places were very luxurious. Countless people were queuing in front. These people wore swords on their waists, wore layered robes or puffed skirts with intricate designs. They were talking about business with Marissa, looking glamorous.
Melville shrank back his toes and couldn't help but blame his father. "I told you, the Ankang Chamber of Commerce is a nationally renowned chamber of commerce. How could they possibly be giving out such unpresentable things?"
How could the nobles understand what the common people needed? How could they possibly provide them with these daily necessities?
The old man said nothing, but just silently clenched the flyer in his hand.
The flyer contains coupons for dishes and cutlery, bread, and laundry detergent. In short, they are all very down-to-earth things.
He held the flyer so tightly that it became wrinkled. As if he had thought of something, he smoothed it out carefully over and over again.
Finally, it was their turn. He only took the corner of the flyer and handed it over with great caution, as if he was afraid that the other party would dislike it.
Marissa took it, held it up to the sunlight, and was surprised. "Hey, doesn't this coupon include home delivery? Why did you make a special trip?"
"Home delivery?" The old man looked confused and bewildered, obviously not understanding this.
In this rapidly developing era, they are a group of people who are quickly left behind.
Melville felt a pang of pain in his heart, and guilt towards his father surged in his mind.
He shouldn't have distrusted his father. It seemed that Lin Muqiu was indeed a good person.
Marissa glanced at the two people with red eyes, then glanced at their dusty and tattered linen clothes. As perceptive as she was, she subconsciously asked, "Where are you from?"
"From behind the Harz Mountains," the old man replied.
Marissa was stunned.
The Harz Mountains are at least fifty or sixty kilometers away from here.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Walking here?"
"Um."
Marissa was silent for a moment, then smiled. "But this is fine. Since you're here, I'll just give you the prize."
Melville and the old man were both stunned.
They had never imagined that the person before them would be so kind and easy to talk to. In the past, nobles had always given them the image of being fierce and cruel, ruthless and ruthless when wielding the whip.
Marissa didn't say anything, but ordered her subordinates to find the goods one by one according to the sequence of the flyers.
Soon, the lists were scrapped one by one and turned into a mountain of goods piled at Melville's feet.
When countless things like cotton quilt cover, tooth cup, warm woolen coat, sweet soda water, soy sauce, intermediate life potion, three coupons that can be used to teleport to any place, etc. were placed around him one by one, he still felt like he was in a dream.
This dream is so beautiful that even people like him have fantasies and expectations about the beer festival.
But in fact, after they exchanged the goods, it was a problem how to get them back.
His lips trembled, and his body couldn't help but soften, "Thank you, sir..."
However, before he even knelt, Marissa had already supported his legs and smiled warmly, "It's my duty. If you want to thank me, just believe it, Lord Lin."
"Okay, I'll take you back."
Before the two men could react, spots of light like sunlight filled their vision. They were stunned and found that they were on the edge of a river valley in the Harz Mountains.
A mile further to the side is their home.
There were two portable backpacks lying on the ground.
They picked it up in disbelief, and the system popped up a reminder:
【Portable backpack (large version)
Efficacy: It can store 100kg of things and compress the weight so that the human body perceives the weight as only 10kg.
Note: This portable backpack is a gift and cannot be traded.
The two picked up their portable backpacks, still feeling like they were dreaming.
Is there really a town that is so good? They gave them food, took care of their inconvenience, and sent them back.
They no longer hesitated and ran home desperately.
When he returned home and opened the door, Melville was stunned by the scene before him.
The mother, paralyzed in bed, was throwing a hemp rope onto the beam. She was sweating profusely from exhaustion, but a faint smile of relief played on her face. Finally, she succeeded. The rope was tied to the beam, and with her hands, rough as bark, trembling slightly, she tied the rope into a knot.
She was so focused that she didn't notice there were two more people next to her.
"Mother, what are you doing?"
"My dear!"
The two of them reacted and let out a cry of pain at the same time, rushing towards their loved ones. The three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The mother choked up and wiped away her tears: "I will never get better. I don't want to become a disabled person and bring trouble to you."
Melville quickly took out the intermediate life potion, "Mother..."
"This is?"
"Given by the Ankang Chamber of Commerce, this is an intermediate life potion!"
The mother was shocked and took it carefully. As soon as the medicine went into her stomach, it felt like little stars twinkling around it, healing her wounds.
【Your health value has increased to 85! 】
The moment the system reminded her, she seemed to be five or six years younger.
"That's great... You are saved." The old man hugged his wife tightly, tears streaming down his face without words.
Seeing this, Melville quickly emptied the contents of his backpack and placed them all at home. "Yes, mother, our lives will be better now. This redemption award is actually real."
Soon, the once bare house began to feel more cozy and no longer empty. When he was done packing, Melville discovered he still had three cards left in his backpack.
"This is..." He looked at the voucher in surprise.
The card clearly reads: [Teleport to any location. (You have three)]

The flow of people in Ankang City increased rapidly, almost to the point of being crowded.
At this moment, all the major shops have put out eighteen martial arts performances in an attempt to attract tourists to stop.
Kedero specifically asked Lin Muqiu to go shopping and buy various foods.
All kinds of shops have become extremely popular. Giant squid, grilled fish, toast, meat patties, vegetable balls, and all kinds of delicious food are listed one by one. The aroma is so fragrant that tourists rush in as soon as they come out of the oven and they are all snatched up. Some shops are not only packed with people inside, but there are also lines of more than 50 people outside the shops.
If he wasn't the respected old mayor and Lin Muqiu wasn't the beloved lord, they wouldn't be able to get any food at all.
It wasn't the beer festival yet, but when it did, he couldn't even imagine the scene.
At this moment, he was squeezed so hard that he couldn't move. He sighed repeatedly, "Why are there so many people before the beer festival?"
Lin Muqiu's cheeks were stuffed with food. She was very satisfied that the townspeople no longer fed her apples. After all, dried meat and preserved fruit snacks were still delicious.
She said vaguely, "Because the beer festival coincides with the extremely cold night, everyone chooses to travel early to enhance safety."
Kedero was choked and speechless.
Very good, is this also part of your plan? We agreed to open it for only fifteen days, but it turned out to be more than twenty.
Also, could you please stop chewing on spicy beef tendon while talking?
It makes him greedy.
After a long pause, he swallowed and said quietly, "You don't understand what I'm saying. There are so many people here now. When the beer festival comes, will the town still be able to accommodate so many people?"
Lin Muqiu smiled and said, "Then upgrade the town. What's the big deal?"
Why are her solutions to problems always so crude and simplistic?
Kedero was choked again, and said unwillingly: "But where will the town's population required for upgrading come from? That's a triple jump, unprecedented!"
As soon as the word "的" fell, a flash of light flashed through his mind, and he understood -
Oh, when she promoted the beer festival with the card draw event, wasn't that the equivalent of promoting Ankang Town?!
Ask yourself, how many townspeople can withstand those sugar-coated bullets and those secret ways of showing off your thighs?
Kede Luo couldn't help but admire, "Lin Muqiu, you win."
The most important thing is that if people were to be attracted to settle down directly, the industries in the town might not be able to accommodate so many people. However, once the beer festival was held, the townspeople frantically set up various industries, and this problem was solved.
With such a small profit, he not only made money, but also promoted publicity and indirectly accelerated the upgrading of the town. The townspeople were also very grateful. Lin Muqiu really won.
Lin Muqiu snapped his fingers and smiled happily, "Bingo, congratulations on guessing it right. But you're not bad either, helping me target ads to a specific group of people. That's a big help."
Kedero: “…”
This is such a detrimental method, I just hope it doesn’t shorten my life.

Back in the lord's hall, Lin Muqiu couldn't wait to put down all kinds of snacks and eat them with relish.
After a while, Yun Yi's reminders came from outside the door: "Master, Magnan, the deputy general manager of the Southern Chamber of Commerce, wants to see you."
"Master, the head of the Western Chamber of Commerce has sent someone to ask for a meeting and send you congratulations."
"Master, the Duke of Ross in the north has sent someone to ask for an audience, saying he will visit in person during the beer festival."
“…”
One piece of news after another made Lin Muqiu raise the corners of his lips.
Very good, the little money came to my door on its own initiative.
Needless to say, she could guess that these chambers of commerce must have been inspired by her advertising effect and wanted to become sponsors and take advantage of the beer festival.
After all, I couldn't beat her and I wasn't as thick-skinned as her, so I had no choice but to join.
So she raised the corners of her lips and said, "Let them in."
The attendants of several major chambers of commerce walked in one after another, all with a humble attitude.
Although their faces twitched a few times when they saw the room full of barbecue skewers and fried chicken when they entered the lord's hall, fortunately they quickly adjusted themselves and suppressed their emotions.
They are absolutely professional when it comes to negotiations.
But it smells really good, hmm.
