Chapter 125 Beer Festival
Elena was speechless. She didn't even bother to bring her servants. She only took a few personal attendants and teleported to Ankang Town.
There were huge crowds of people, more crowded than ever before. Incandescent lights were hung all over the town, illuminating the night. The snow reflected the light, making it extremely bright.
【Beer Festival is open, please shop in moderation and avoid indigestion.】
[Uncivilized behavior such as spitting on the road may result in warnings and fines.]
We hope you enjoy your visit. If you have any questions, please report them to the old mayor, Kede Luo.
Elena snorted coldly as she listened to the warnings circling overhead.
People come to Ankang Town to eat, who would go shopping?
Besides, the Dukedom has everything, why would it need to buy things from other towns?
After waiting for a long time, she finally verified her identity and walked in.
At the forefront are various projects on ice and snow:
"Dog sledding, 50 copper coins for 30 minutes, 300 copper coins for a full half-day!"
"Renting a tire and carrying it around is so much fun! 50 copper coins for half a day, 100 copper coins deposit, returnable with receipt!"
"Ice skating, 30 copper coins for 20 minutes!"
"We welcome your purchase of ice and snow cultural and creative products!"
Elena: “…”
Very good, the Dukedom does not have these projects.
One project after another dazzled her.
Is Ankang Town so good at defrauding people?
Why is it that when it comes to the same polar night weather, they can only think of controlling it, while Lin Muqiu can think of freezing the snow into ice and making a roller skating track to make money?
Her eyes were full of complexity, and she felt like she had entered a wolf's den and couldn't get out.
Wallet: No, you don't want to
Hand: Just try it out.
After playing various projects, Alina was heartbroken.
Damn, her wallet is empty! Alas, she always comforts herself by saying, "These kinds of activities don't happen often anyway." In fact, she participates in every event.
Moreover, Ankang Town has the most activities. It's like a scam, with an event every few days.
She secretly complained, and a voice came from the side: "Miss, do you want to try the new dog sledding project?"
"No need!" Elena was very alert.
Arthur and the village chief rubbed their hands together and smiled. "This is our newly domesticated wild wolf. It has a very good temper."
Elena touched her pocket and felt a pang of heartache.
She had just reached the entrance and had already spent so much money. She didn't dare to imagine what would happen once she entered.
She held it in for a long time and said, "No."
She will never waste a penny again.
"Miss, this is really necessary. I suggest you rent one." The village chief insisted.
"No, thank you." Elena was a little dissatisfied.
Why do you have to cheat her out of her money?
"Okay." The village chief's smile grew even wider. "We have business sites all over the place. You can rent them anytime."
Elena was hesitant.
Aren't these attractions meant for fun? Are they necessary? People who don't buy in at first won't buy in later.
Despite her doubts, she still said thank you, "Thank you."
Seeing her walk away, the village chief shook his head and smiled helplessly. In fact, he was just making a sincere suggestion.
After all... this is a project specially set up by Lord Lin to stimulate consumption.
He counted the copper and silver coins he had earned today and hummed a little tune with joy.
I thought the farm tourism business was going to fail, but unexpectedly I made a fortune from the ice and snow business and became very rich!
Fortunately, Lord Lin supported the animal training industry and Arthur was the first to respond, otherwise he would not have made so much money.
Follow Lord Lin closely, and you will have money to spend.
On the other side, Elena walked further and further away, and her calves began to tremble.
She has never had to worry about traveling since she was a child, but now she has to walk so much, how can she bear it?
Seeing his young lady in trouble, the mage attendant stepped forward and said considerately, "Master, how about I teleport you to the center of the venue?"
"No!" Elena blushed angrily: "This kind of activity is only fun if you go shopping, otherwise why come?"
After all, she spent an hour strolling through the beginning with genuine emotion, let alone a central location? That would definitely be more luxurious and worth it!
The subordinates dared not speak.
"Forget it," Alina sighed, "Let's rent a dog sled."
It’s better to let others make some money.
Even though she knew it was a waste of money, who made her not prepared?
In the end, Lin Muqiu was more skilled and understood the customers' psychology.
She looked at her trembling calves, touched her purse, and came to a painful conclusion.
Sure enough, not a penny of the money that should be spent can be saved.

Compared to Elena who spends money wisely, Louis, as His Majesty the King, is much more generous with his money.
He spent countless copper coins to experience dog sledding, super ice sculpture slide, ice sculpture snowman photo taking, ice and snow cultural creation, ice hockey, ice and snow bicycles, ice sledding, dragon boat racing on ice, ice sculpture palace museum and many other projects.
Finally, he had played all the projects and showed a satisfied smile.
"What Ankang Town? It's nothing but this!" He waved his hand, tears filled with contempt.
The so-called beer festival turned out to be just a variety of entertainment activities made with local materials and snow!
Haha, even if it has some creativity, it is nothing compared to the luxury and extravagance of the imperial capital!
"His Majesty……"
The attendant stepped forward hesitantly. "You haven't even entered the beer festival yet."
Louis: ???
At that moment, the world seemed to be quiet. After a long time, Lewis asked from the bottom of his heart: “Then what did I just leave?”
"Ice and Snow Amusement Park." The attendant spread out a meter-long map and pointed to it. "Don't worry, you'll be in the city soon."
Looking at Louis, who was at the bottom corner of the health map:???
"You mean," Louis said in disbelief, "I've been walking for so long and haven't even entered the city yet?"
The attendant replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, yes. Perhaps there were too many people coming to the beer festival, so Lin Muqiu, in order to save space, simply fenced off the area outside the city and built an ice and snow amusement park. They sell goods during the day and use it for open-air barbecues at night."
Louis took the map, his figure disheveled in the wind.
How is that possible?
How could there be a town so extravagant that it would even fence off the outside of the city to make money?
At this moment, Louis, who never cared about spending, felt for the first time that he had been cheated of money and was heartbroken.
But who can be blamed? It's because he didn't check the map!
"Let's go, let's go now." The veins on Louis' forehead bulged, and he took several deep breaths but didn't swallow them. "Teleport to the center of the venue."
He must see Lin Muqiu immediately, right now, before he can feel at ease.

At the same time, in the town.
Melville brought his parents here on the first day of the beer festival.
The temperature inside the town was quite high, with only the smell of fireworks, unlike the bitter cold outside. The venue was crowded, but orderly.
They blinked, mesmerized by everything new.
"Beer and freshly brewed wine, limited to 5 glasses per person! Provided by the Bu family!"
"Any store participating in the beer festival can receive a free down jacket! Provided by the Northern Chamber of Commerce!"
"For the lucky draw, all new residents can receive a free numbered ticket. First prize is set at 30 people, each receiving a gold-level weapon. Second prize is set at 300 people, each receiving a down jacket and hand warmer. Third prize is set at 500 people, each receiving a buffet. Consolation prizes, regardless of number of people, are all provided by various sponsors!"
“…”
Upon hearing this, the Melville family's eyes lit up.
What they lacked most during their journey was food and information. These activities seemed to provide them with inspiration and a window.
My father was stunned. "What? Does that mean we can also enter the lottery?"
Melville nodded frantically. "It sounds like this is specially set up for us. The key is that no matter how lucky we are, we will definitely get a snack."
Isn’t this too happy?
The three of them received the drinks without hesitation and prepared to ask about the conditions for setting up a stall later.
After a glass of wine, they felt refreshed.
The sweet and refreshing taste in the mouth, with a sharp grape flavor, dispels the coldness of winter, and has the mellowness of rice wine. It's great!
The three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh, "Thank you, Master Lin Muqiu!"
Brook and Blitz, who were not far away, were stunned by what they heard.
It is obvious that these supplies were sponsored by them, so why do these people only know how to call him Lord Lin? Aren’t they annoying?
Lin Muqiu really made a lot of money. He didn't spend a penny, but he did a favor and gained some fame.
Blitz patted his brother's shoulder, stopping him from losing his mind. "It's okay. I've already told the guy who's serving the wine to specifically note that it's sponsored by our brothers."
"Hmm..." Brie held his chin up, "I don't know if this promotion is effective."
Blitzcrank chuckled twice and showed him the Lord System. "Look."
[The day before yesterday: The number of non-local residents was 500.
Yesterday: Non-local residents had a footfall of 1,000.
Today: Non-local residents visit 3,000.
Bu Rui's eyes widened. "I didn't expect publicity to be so effective?"
"It's more than that."
Blitzcrank gulped down the wine in front of him. "Our town has a livestream shopping feature, and many nobles are stuck there trying to grab the good stuff. With more people, spending is up, which is normal."
Bri listened and tutted his words.
It turns out that Lin Muqiu is really awesome.
But it’s better this way, as you can enjoy the shade under the big tree.
I wonder what Lin Muqiu is doing now? With such a grand festival, she should be able to show off her skills again, right?
