"Ah? You... came here just to buy watermelons?" Song Xinran also walked out from behind Wen Xingyao and asked in surprise.
He was sitting on the other side of Bai Li, eating watermelon while paying attention to the other's movements. Then he saw the master pulling Yaoxing's clothes and asked him to look outside.
Following the two people's gaze, he also saw the circle of people gathered outside. Although he was jealous that Master Yu first thought of Yaoxing instead of him, his disciple, Song Xinran still stood up and followed him out, thinking that it would be helpful to maintain order at the scene.
He also thought that these people came for Bai Li. He followed the entire incident of Bai Li's identity being exposed on the forum. The netizens and players who accidentally discovered Bai Li's identity were very excited at that time.
So, Song Xinran took the initiative to act as a security guard, thinking that his master needed his protection.
As a result, the purpose of this group of people gathering here was just to buy a watermelon? ?
The game maker is so big and standing here, but you only have watermelons in your eyes? ?
Who would believe this if I told them? But it is actually happening.
Someone in the crowd answered, "Yes, yes, we are here to buy watermelons! We are embarrassed to come to disturb Li Li, but who can blame Li Li for having a watermelon in her hand and even buying some instant noodles for live streaming? She is going to make us envious to death!"
After that, he turned to Bai Li and asked loudly: "Li Li, are you selling this watermelon? I'm willing to pay a high price for it!"
"Li Li, I am willing to do that too. Look at me, I am your fan! A true fan!!"
"Go away, go away. You're acting like everyone is a true fan of Li Li! Li Li, look, I've got the money ready. Is 100 gold coins enough to buy a watermelon? If not, I'll add a little more~~~"
Without waiting for Bai Li to respond, the group of players who came together started competing on their own. At this time, there were dozens of players gathered outside the yard, and more people came from far away. They were worried that they could have gotten a whole watermelon but would only get a small piece in the end, so they shouted even harder.
With such intensity of competition, even though Bai Li did not have such an idea at the beginning, his attitude became somewhat loosened at this time.
He thought for a moment, gestured to everyone to "be quiet", and then said: "I can sell watermelons, but not for 100 gold coins each. Anyway, you can grow them yourself in the future. Just... 10 gold coins each. Those who are willing to pay this price can line up first. I'll ask my friends to help bring the watermelons over."
As soon as the voice fell, the players outside the yard were stunned for a few seconds, then they showed ecstatic smiles, and hurriedly grabbed the fence with both hands, not caring whether it would prick their hands, and shouted: "Accept! Only a fool would not accept such a cheap offer! I sign up, I queue up, I'm the first one!"
The reactions of others afterwards proved that the action he took at the first moment was still necessary. No matter how the people behind him fought for a more forward position, he held on to the fence tightly and remained motionless.
The people behind him were also worried that if they pulled too hard, they might break the fence of Li Li's house. What if he got upset and stopped selling them watermelons? So they didn't dare to push the player in the first place and fought for the position at the back in a "grievance".
Within two minutes, a long line formed outside Bai Li's yard. The length of the line... if these people held hands, they could probably circle the village chief's house.
While these people were queuing, the people in the yard put down their spoons and helped Bai Li carry the watermelons. Bai Li, Wen Xingyao, and Song Xinran stood at the gate of the yard. One was responsible for collecting money, one was responsible for handing out the watermelons, and the other was responsible for maintaining order. He stared at the line with his bright eyes and would remind them loudly if he found someone trying to cut in line.
After the reminder, he didn't have to do anything, as those players who were eagerly eyeing the watermelons would angrily drive the queue-jumpers away and make an appointment to have a group fight with this group of shameless people after buying the watermelons.
Is it easy for them to have a bite of melon? They actually dare to cut in line without any eyesight. It’s too much, really too much!
Apart from the ones that had been cut and ready to eat, there were only about 70 watermelons left. In other words, if each player was limited to buying one, at most 70 players could eat the sweet and delicious big watermelon.
After handing the last watermelon to the player who came to buy it, Bai Li apologized and informed him that the next watermelon had been sold out, and this watermelon transaction was over.
The expressions on the faces of the players who didn't buy the game were very complicated, forming a sharp contrast with the player in front. The latter held a big watermelon in his arms and wished he could fly to the sky, while the former looked like he had lost his parents, as if his life had lost its meaning. It was so sad to see and to hear.
Bai Li couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he turned his head away and didn't look over there again. The rest of the people followed suit, at most they gave the buyers who didn't get the watermelon a helpless look before turning their heads.
Fortunately, such a silent and sad atmosphere did not last too long. The players who bought the watermelons did not leave. Instead, they called out to the rest of the people and asked them not to leave in a hurry and to eat a few bites of the watermelons they bought first.
"Aiya, you didn't buy any watermelon, why are you crying? Come here quickly, I'll give you a small piece, at least it's sweet and worth the trip!"
"That's right! It's such a big watermelon, it feels a bit difficult for me to eat it all by myself, so count me in as one of them. You guys should stop crying and come over and eat as much as you can. After you finish eating, go back and work hard on your farm so that you can eat the watermelons you planted as soon as possible!"
Even though the players were almost squeezed to buy the watermelons, they couldn't bear to see other people who came by without being able to eat the watermelons, so they were kind enough to invite these people to come and taste the watermelons they had bought with great difficulty.
Even those players who tried to cut in line but were kicked out would at most get a few cold stares if they stepped forward again. There was no such thing as not getting any watermelon.
For a moment, a larger place for eating watermelons was formed outside Bai Li's yard. These players were either sitting or standing, and their methods of splitting watermelons were more violent and decisive. The shapes of the watermelons in their hands were also unique, but the only difference was the hearty smiles and heroic postures on their faces.
Eating watermelons seemed to have become a special behavior engraved in their genes. The players ate the watermelons with relish and chatted casually while savoring the taste in their mouths.
Mo Song found it interesting, and after obtaining their consent, he simply moved the live camera over and set it up opposite to them, and at the same time turned the radio function to the maximum. In his words, at least the audience in the live broadcast room could feel a sense of participation in the gossip.
In response, the audience in the live broadcast room said: Bah! It would be fine if we were allowed to eat melons by ourselves, but now why are we also allowed to listen to gossip by ourselves?
Even if you dislike it, you still have to listen to it.
The audience smacked the non-existent watermelon taste in their mouths and listened to the players' chat with great interest.
The players outside the yard not only chatted among themselves, but also strongly invited Bai Li and his friends to join in. Bai Li discussed it with his friends and didn't think it was a big deal, so he happily joined in with the remaining watermelon.
"Li Li, I was just watching the live broadcast of Crispy Noodles. Didn't you guys talk about the new NPC? I also received a task from the fisherman, but why didn't the reward for me be the same high-end fishing net as the one given to me by Monster Star Boss? It was just a piece of dried fish that can be steamed and eaten."
"Me too, the mission is different. The Flower Lady asked me to give her 50 flower seeds, and I have only collected one third of them so far. It's too much!"
"I'm different from all of you! I played Go with a naughty kid, and then he gave me a hand-drawn treasure map. I still don't want to use it~"
After saying this, the other players cast envious glances at the person who spoke.
Treasure map, the word "treasure" alone is very tempting. The action of treasure hunting includes the exploration of the game world, fantasy adventures, and unknown surprises. How can it not make people yearn for it?
Jiang Huaibi's eyes suddenly lit up, his eyes were burning, and he wanted to jump to the player and ask him if he was willing to sell the treasure map.
But think about it and you will know that it is impossible to sell it, it will never be sold. I just don't know if the other party will agree to have someone watching him the whole time while he is looking for treasure?
With so many players speaking out to describe the situations they encountered while taking on quests, there was no need for Bai Li to explain anything afterwards because everyone understood.
The tasks assigned to these new NPCs are clearly random. What they receive depends entirely on the players' luck. Even the rewards they receive are largely determined by luck.
"Okay, I understand. It's not that my level is not high enough, but that I'm just unlucky. I'm just unlucky! I guess next time I go to them to take on a mission, I'll have to wash my hands first or eat something that will help my luck..."
"This... these NPCs are so capricious! They act completely based on their mood. If I had known it would be like this, I should have made mine look better when I was sculpting my face. Maybe they also look at the face?"
"Brother, you still have time to change your face! Have you forgotten that there is an item called 'Makeover' in the game store? A player can only buy one, which is used to reshape the face. If you really have an idea, go and try it~"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li looked at Wen Xingyao meaningfully, thinking that these players should thank the person next to him. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to change his face, he would not have thought of putting this item on the shelves.
Who would have thought that such an unpopular item would be given new life in such a situation? After being reminded, several players looked thoughtful and said that they would go back to study it carefully after eating the watermelon. They said that they would get to know their friends again when they came online again.
Afterwards, these players went to chat with their friends with new faces, but were almost misunderstood as trying to steal chickens and were almost kicked out of the yard. This story was circulated in the game forum for quite some time.
Players who have experienced it personally said with tears in their eyes: Plastic surgery has risks, and you need to be cautious when changing your face!
