Chapter 131 The Second Day of the Assessment 2
"If it weren't for the risk of food poisoning from this pastry, I think it would be quite delicious."
Five minutes passed, and Lin Chaoyang stopped looking at the pastry's design. Instead, he randomly picked one and put it in his mouth. After all, he wasn't unlucky, and this time he only tasted the sweetness of the pastry.
Liang Shumo recalled the taste and found it to be good. He should be able to buy it in both the game and in real life: "Then I'll buy it for you in the future."
"Let's not talk about this now, let's set off first." Lin Chaoyang casually drew a stick from the lottery box. He didn't want to talk about the future under the current circumstances, since there was no guarantee that it would happen. The most important thing was to get going as soon as possible.
There is a starting point and an ending point; they are already five minutes behind.
"Brother Yun, Brother Mo, we're leaving now." Lin Chaoyang said goodbye and pulled Liang Shumo away.
Ruan Hexuan responded, "Okay, you guys go ahead."
Shang Yunting waved enthusiastically: "Bye-bye, little newbie~" After saying that, he casually threw a piece of pastry into his mouth. He didn't believe he couldn't leave.
"Great, it wasn't poisoned this time." Shang Yunting was feeling happy when he suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute? Shouldn't you be luckier than me?"
Ruan Hexuan glanced at Shang Yunting with disdain: "Our family can't all have average luck, can we?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot your sister was here too. Let's go quickly."
With the two of them leaving the room, the five-person team's adventure officially began.
———
The five people drew lots, which determined the areas they would go to—a total of five different areas.
After leaving the room, Liang Shumo and Lin Chaoyang each entered their respective teleportation portals, one heading towards the forest and the other towards the sea.
As soon as Lin Chaoyang stepped through the teleportation portal, his feet touched the soft sand.
To his left was the sound of crashing waves, and to his right was the lively hustle and bustle of various stalls. He subconsciously lifted his foot and rubbed the sand, and for a moment he almost thought he had returned to Mermaid Island.
At this moment, a system notification sounded: "Welcome to the first scene - the seaside. Please follow the number sequence on the map to complete the designated tasks. Once all tasks are completed, you can proceed to the transfer station."
Lin Chaoyang immediately opened the electronic map, which showed twenty mission points marked on it. The ninth mission was closest to his current location, while the first mission was located right in the center of the scene.
On this map, apart from the first task point which can be clicked to view detailed information, the other task points are currently grayed out and only show the task content, without mentioning the rewards.
"Go to the beverage stand and sell five drinks that you made yourself."
Looking at this task, a bad memory suddenly popped into Lin Chaoyang's head. Was he going to get his drink splashed again?
Despite his thoughts, he didn't stop walking, making his way from the entrance to the central mission point.
Just as Lin Chaoyang reached the beverage stall, before he could even speak, he was interrupted by a crisp shout: "Iced plum juice and hand-whipped lemon tea! Come and have a cup on a hot day to quench your thirst and cool you down!"
The beverage stall owner was a vibrant young woman. Perhaps because Lin Chaoyang had been standing in front of the stall for so long, she mistook him for a customer and greeted him with a smile: "I have seven or eight kinds of drinks here. If you don't like the two I just mentioned, you can take a look at the others. They're all quite thirst-quenching!"
Lin Chaoyang didn't respond immediately. He had been observing for a while and noticed that the business people by the sea were all very enthusiastic and patient with their customers. Their liveliness was just like that of real people. But he knew in his heart that they were probably all NPCs.
After all, how could a real person have so much energy? Not to mention, to have such an almost abnormal enthusiasm for 'going to work'.
Feeling out of place if he wasn't enthusiastic, Lin Chaoyang forced a bright smile and then explained his purpose for being there: "I'm here to help sell drinks."
The stall owner's eyes lit up, and his attitude became even more enthusiastic: "So you're here to help out. Then I'll leave the next five drinks to you."
Lin Chaoyang nodded and took the note handed to him. It listed the four drinks he was going to make: two lemonades, one orange juice, and two peach ices.
His gaze swept over the simple workbench behind the stall—a juicer, a sealed cup, sliced lemons, oranges, and peach pieces. Even the labels on the syrup bottles were all facing outwards. Everything was ready and waiting for Lin Chaoyang to use it.
As he reached for the glass, his fingertips touched a note stuck to the table. The handwriting on it was neat and neat, and it read: "Add 3 lemon slices to each glass, 1 pump of syrup, and fill the glass with ice to 3 centimeters from the rim. Do not deviate from the mark."
"Hurry up, the customers are getting impatient!" the stall owner's voice rang out from the side. Lin Chaoyang looked up and, sure enough, saw three tourists wearing the same blue swimsuits standing in front of the stall, their faces bearing the same expectant smiles.
They even had pictures and quantities of the drinks they bought on their heads. Lin Chaoyang really wanted to complain that the whole process was so botted.
But I don't want to ruin the atmosphere. It's like a play that's been going on for a while, just waiting for him to join in. Now that he's in, he might as well take it seriously.
Everything was prepared for his arrival. The stall owner gave him a note with the drinks he needed, the workbench had a note with the recipe, and the workbench had all the ingredients he needed. He just needed to make these five drinks and he would be done.
Lin Chaoyang meticulously prepared the drinks according to the recipe on the note. After each cup was finished, he would first hand it to the stall owner to ask for his opinion. Only after receiving a positive response would he start preparing the next cup. He repeated this process until he had made the remaining four cups.
"Thank you! This looks delicious!" The three customers said the same thing, each with a satisfied expression on their face, and left with smiles after receiving their drinks.
When the notification popped up that the task was completed, the stall owner approached Lin Chaoyang with a slip of paper with a number on it and a drink, handing it to him: "Thank you for your help. This thousand points is your reward, and this drink is on you."
"Thank you." Lin Chaoyang took the note and drink. As soon as his fingertips touched the edge of the paper, the thin piece of paper turned into a stream of blue data and dissipated into the air. His temporary account gained a thousand points.
"Ahhh, I have to hurry up and do the next task." Once he was a little further away from the stall, Lin Chaoyang's previously composed demeanor instantly crumbled. He gripped the cold drink cup and quickened his pace.
He participated in the event to earn points, but he didn't expect the first task to take so long, so he hurriedly ran towards task point number 2.
