Chapter 81 Chapter 81 "If you want to take action, now is the time, Zura...
81
The sun set behind the mountain, the stars lit up in the night sky, and the moon hung high in the sky, as round as a jade plate.
Lights lit up in the towns above ground, and the flow of people into the stalls along the streets gradually increased.
The lights are reflected on the floating river surface, colorful, and the brilliance flows with the river, like a colorful galaxy.
Li Xiaoqi walked on the road and looked at the scenery on the street. Every household lit up lanterns, but the lanterns did not contain candlelight, but electric lights.
“This place is rich.”
Dazai Osamu sighed.
Li Xiaoqi nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's a place favored by dignitaries."
The system interface emerged in the void, and the location of the stall was marked on the map.
The stall is right up ahead, right in the middle of this bazaar.
After a while, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu arrived at the stall.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the empty stall and looked at Dazai Osamu.
Suddenly, she saw interest in Dazai's eyes.
Li Xiaoqi blinked and said, "Mr. Dazai, you don't mean to..."
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and made a scissors gesture.
"Hey!"
The task prompts that if there are novel products, they may attract special customers.
Since this is the prompt, this may be the key to achieving business goals.
"But how do we do that? Some of the things in the backpack can't just be laid out, right?"
For example, those wooden warehouses...
Not to mention, if the purpose of those strange props were clearly stated, it would scare many people.
Li Xiaoqi frowned and glanced at the backpack interface on the side, his eyes sweeping over the props he had obtained one by one.
"Xiao Qi, let's do this..."
Dazai Osamu leaned close to Li Xiaoqi's ear and spoke a lot.
Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, "Will anyone really come to buy it?"
Dazai Osamu raised his index finger and shook it, saying, "As long as we are attractive enough, we don't have to worry about no one coming."
"Then how can we avoid others from conjuring up all the props?"
Li Xiaoqi lowered his voice.
Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips, his eyes glittering with cunning, "Just leave it to me."
Just like that, Li Xiaoqi watched Dazai Osamu leave and could only wait there helplessly.
The stall on the right sells ramen. The steaming noodle soup exudes an aroma, and the customers at the stall look over curiously.
The stall owner has white hair on his temples and looks to be in his fifties, but he is still in good health and looks energetic when he smiles.
He looked over and greeted her warmly, "Little girl, would you like to come and sit down?"
"Is your family member going to pick up some goods? These stalls are all good. You're lucky that one of them is vacant."
Your family's...
Li Xiaoqi was embarrassed and walked to the ramen stall and sat down. "He is my brother."
The stall owner was stunned and quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, it turns out they are brother and sister, hahaha——"
He laughed heartily and said, "Then I'll treat you to a bowl of ramen, little girl."
In an instant, several customers sitting in the stall burst into laughter, mocking the boss's "self-righteousness".
They all seemed to be acquaintances, and the boss was not angry.
Li Xiaoqi was flattered and said embarrassedly, "No, no...it's not a big deal."
Unexpectedly, the stall owner waved his hand and a bowl of fragrant noodles was brought over.
"If I say no, then no!"
He said it in a decisive tone.
Li Xiaoqi didn't want to offend the other person, so he simply thanked him and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
He ate it as if it were a bowl of noodles, and Dazai Osamu came over with a cart that he had gotten from somewhere.
"Xiao Qi, I'm back...why did you eat first?"
Dazai Osamu stopped in front of him, panting and pulling the cart behind him, looking particularly funny.
Li Xiaoqi suppressed his laughter and said, "The boss saw that I was bored, so he treated me to a bowl of noodles."
Dazai Osamu curled his lips, "That's great... I want to eat ramen too."
As he spoke, his stomach made a symphony of hunger.
Seeing this, the stall owner said cheerfully, "You are the little girl's brother, right? Sit down and eat. I'll give you 20% off!"
Dazai Osamu opened his eyes wide, pointed at himself and said, "What...isn't there anything free?"
The customer next to him joked, "Hahahaha, the boss gave you a 20% discount just for this girl's sake. We've been friends with him for decades, and he never gives us a discount."
"That's right, how stingy!"
"Go away, if I give you a discount, I won't go broke—"
"Boss, you're the nicest person, give it to me for free!"
Suddenly, laughter rang out, echoing across the river.
Li Xiaoqi looked at Dazai Osamu eating happily and shook his head helplessly.
The boss finally gave him a free meal. It was really true that the spoiled child got the meat.
Half an hour later, the originally empty stall was filled with all kinds of things, and Li Xiaoqi changed his clothes according to Dazai Osamu's idea.
This piece of clothing was the "Katsura Kotaro's rap sweatshirt" in the backpack. The moment he put it on, even his pants were brown overalls, and he was holding a speaker in his hand.
Li Xiaoqi, wearing a pink sweatshirt and carrying a speaker, attracted the attention of countless passers-by when he walked out of the nearby locker room.
This modern outfit was really eye-catching in the Taisho era, and even the English letters on the front of the sweatshirt were still "zura".
She stood in front of Dazai Osamu and saw that he was also dressed like this, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to support her forehead.
"Does it have to be like this?"
Li Xiaoqi said weakly.
Forgive her for not being a community leader, and she started to feel a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many people.
"What kind of new fashion are these? Are there new styles imported from abroad?"
The stall owner next to him looked him up and down and asked curiously.
Even the stall owner next door on the left stretched his neck to look over here, and didn't even hear the customer asking him for a book.
"The anchor has arrived at the booth. The live broadcast will begin. Please manage your expressions."
Administrator June's words began to ring out.
Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows at Li Xiaoqi, and almost wrote the sentence "You see, I know it".
The familiar live broadcast interface popped up, and two people appeared on the screen.
【Here it comes! 】
【Wahahahaha, isn’t this a sweatshirt with a wig? 】
What happened to wearing hoodies during the Taisho era?
[It looks like a market. Oh no, are they setting up stalls?]
【interesting】
[The live broadcast task has appeared. How can I earn 5 million yen tonight? ? ]
[Is the system asking Xiaoqi and Zai to go rob? ]
[According to the system's nature, it will definitely cause trouble tonight, otherwise it wouldn't issue such an outrageous task.]
When Li Xiaoqi saw the barrage of comments from the audience, he felt like he was seeing an acquaintance visiting.
Now, she has become accustomed to living a life where people are watching her from time to time.
Dazai Osamu had already taken out some of the props from his backpack and placed them on the table, including roses and glass bags.
Most of the table is occupied by various props. There is some space left on the right, where two vases filled with water are placed, with roses and glass bags placed in them respectively. The prices are also marked on the vases.
The items on the table are——
Conan's glowing glasses, Owe game console, magical girl transformation device, boy and girl transformation, everyone's favorite potion, Conan's anesthetic watch, Echizen Ryoma's racket, Atobe Keigo's racket, the Four Souls Jade·Fake, Kanna's mirror (sunglasses version), the cursed scarecrow and a chef experience card that's so delicious that it's going to explode.
Each piece is very expensive. According to the currency exchange rate of the Taisho era, converted into modern Japanese yen, the cheapest prop costs 50,000 yen and the most expensive is priced at 5 million yen.
Among them, the most expensive props are the fake Shikon Jade and Kanna's mirror.
Li Xiaoqi stared at the two things and suddenly understood Dazai Osamu's intention.
As long as you can trick a wealthy businessman who comes to the stall into buying the most expensive goods, you can complete this mission.
The two things chosen by Dazai Osamu are the props that can best convey the message of God's blessing and wealth.
At this moment, Dazai Osamu took out a wooden box and shook it, and the sound of a ball rolling came from inside.
Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, pointed at the wooden box and said, "You really got it."
Dazai Osamu gave a thumbs-up, his expression smug. "Of course, I borrowed it from the hotel owner and secretly modified it a little bit."
He looked left and right, then leaned over to Li Xiaoqi's ear and said, "Lower the probability of winning."
Unscrupulous businessman!
Li Xiaoqi secretly complained in her heart, but even so, she could only become one of the unscrupulous businessmen.
In order to attract customers, Dazai Osamu also added a lottery mechanism. As long as you buy three flowers, you will have a chance to participate in the lottery, and the prizes are the valuable props on the stall.
"Do you think customers would like the props in our stall?"
Li Xiaoqi asked him suspiciously.
Dazai Osamu raised the corner of his lips and said, "Our target customers are not ordinary families, but those who do business."
"Just add the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure and give it an auspicious name, wouldn't that be enough? People in the Taisho era had never seen these things anyway."
After saying that, he took paper and a brush, gave the prop another name, and then pasted it next to the price.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoqi silently gave a thumbs up.
The private conversations between Dazai Osamu and Li Xiaoqi were recorded in the live broadcast room, and the barrage of comments was filled with laughter.
Music could be heard from afar, and the crowd gradually increased.
There were a few people gathered around the ramen stall next door, and the owner was busy as hell.
Many people gathered in front of the stall, forming a semicircle, and looked at Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu curiously.
“People started to get curious about the host’s stall and wondered what he could do to attract customers.
A. Play the promotional advertisement "Jiangnan Leather Factory closed down, and the sister-in-law ran away with the boss."
B. Two anchors rap together live
C. Shouting "Buy one and you can kill a demon, buy two and you can kill an upper-rank demon, buy three and you can tear them into pieces"
???
The general public on option A wouldn't understand this joke, let alone option C. Many people don't even know the existence of ghosts...
Li Xiaoqi's expression was subtle, and he could already guess which one the audience would choose.
Sure enough, thirty seconds later, the administrator June reported the results.
"Based on the comments, please ask the two anchors to perform the actions in option B. The countdown begins, 60s, 59s——"
Dazai Osamu picked up a pair of glasses from the stall, put one on himself and the other on Li Xiaoqi.
The moment Conan puts on his "luminous glasses", the lenses flash white light.
The crowd of onlookers exclaimed and began to talk.
"Those are Western glasses, right? They actually glow?"
"What's this?"
"A glowing mask...?"
"That's very interesting. I wonder how much it costs."
Pedestrians showed surprised expressions and began to tiptoe to look at the goods on the stalls.
At this moment, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu's expressions froze and their bodies were out of their control.
They carried the speakers on their shoulders and they started playing music.
Dynamic rhythms echoed through the market, drowning out the classical traditional music.
The passersby looked shocked, as if they had seen something incredible.
"That box can actually make sounds?!"
"How does this work?"
"I've seen something similar at a foreigner's place. It's called a radio, but the sound isn't as good as this..."
"Mom, is there someone living in the black box?"
"What's that novelty?"
Amidst the discussion, Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu opened their mouths and sang the lyrics.
"Now is the time to strike, zura—now is the time to strike, zura—"
"Buy and you'll get rich, buy and you'll get rich!"
Oh hoo!
It turned out to be Katsura Kotaro’s rap “Joy of Anti-Immortalisman” from Gintamani!
I even changed the lyrics later hahaha!
Li Xiaoqi's eyes were shining, his face flushed with laughter, his body moved to the rhythm of the music, and the hip-hop style music attracted more and more people.
Dazai Osamu seemed to be possessed by a spirit of acting, closing his eyes and singing with great ecstasy.
In the crowd, a young man stopped, looked towards the center of the crowd, and slowly opened his eyes.
"What on earth are those two guys doing..."
