Chapter 234: White Orchid Rain Festival (XVI)
Ten minutes later, Yizhihua had finished serving the last of the first batch of customers.
Although the other party's sharpness was a bit annoying, the result was still good. He actually agreed to pawn something that he hadn't even thought of, and he also wanted to make this wish. And maybe because of the other party's special personal skills, he was able to predict certain situations.
It seems that not all the first batch of guests were fools and paupers.
All in all, the result was not bad. Her impatience was swept away and she was looking forward to the second batch of customers, especially a little cutie who had already reserved something.
The green tail flicked in the air, and a flower came to the next space.
Bei Xi was finally able to open her eyes. Her consciousness had begun to recover from just now. After all, from her body's perception, Bei Xi could already sense that some time had passed since they entered the pawnshop.
But she couldn't open her eyes, and couldn't see or feel anything else around her.
Thinking that maybe something was not triggered that caused her to be unable to perceive everything around her, the moment Bei Xi opened her eyes and saw a flower, she did not have any special reaction.
On the contrary, Yizhihua was a little disappointed when she checked Beixi's information and saw that the other party was not the person she was eager to trade with, but the other party seemed to exude some familiar smell.
She scratched the tip of her nose with her hand in an attempt to hide her guilt, but her body unnaturally moved closer to Bei Xi, as if she was driven by some instinct, or as if this brought her a strange sense of security.
“Let all players who enter the game return to their normal world and life.”
Bei Xi sat on the chair, without any intention of testing or chatting, and just spoke without warning.
She sat lazily, not as nervous as the others. Instead, she leaned leisurely on the back of the chair. When she spoke, her eyes were full of scrutiny.
"Ah?" Yizhihua was speechless for a rare moment. She didn't know whether she didn't understand the meaning of Beixi's words or she didn't understand the other party's intention. In short, the identities of the host and the guest seemed to be reversed for a moment.
"Aren't you going to make a wish?" Bei Xi lifted her eyelids and explained. She seemed to be a little disgusted with Yizhihua's unprofessional attitude. It seemed that because she hadn't seen Nan Huan for a while, she had a brief separation anxiety, so she seemed very irritable when talking to other people. "My wish is to let all the players who enter the game return to their original normal world and life."
Yizhihua didn't know whether she was frightened by the other party's grand wish, or was intimidated by Beixi's aura that kept people at a distance. In short, the condescending attitude she showed in front of others was no longer visible. Instead, she had lowered her height and maintained the same level with Beixi.
The long green tail no longer swung leisurely from side to side, but hung down in front of the body honestly. "This wish is beyond my ability. I can't do it."
Did this cautious tone come out of my own mouth?
Yizhihua was shocked after she finished speaking. She was the owner of the pawnshop and she had the final say in everything here. Why did she unconsciously start to act cowardly in front of the other party? This shouldn't be the case.
Thinking of this, she straightened her back and slammed the table solemnly, "The rules are clearly stated, you are not allowed to..."
But before she could finish her words, she received a glare from Bei Xi.
"Didn't you say you're an omnipotent pawnshop?" The look of disdain was about to overflow. Finally, Bei Xi opened his lips slightly and said the final blow, "Black shop."
Bei Xi knocked on the table. The sound was very light, but the sense of oppression was very strong.
For a moment, the flower felt a sense of oppression engraved in its bones, as if it was being predated by a fellow bird. However, the thought disappeared in an instant before it could take root.
"No..." Yizhihua didn't know why she stuttered. This should be her home court, but she always felt as if she was being suppressed. She was clearly a head shorter than him. "It's not a black shop. How about changing your wish?"
This timid tone makes it hard to reconcile her with her previous murderous appearance.
"I want to know the truth about You. Why did Anan meet Heer in the game copy, and why does he look like me?"
I don’t know whether Bei Xi didn’t want to waste her breath or she was just following the advice, but she really changed her wish.
But this wish was still very sharp, and even Yizhihua couldn't understand what the other party meant.
"I can't do it, change another one."
After the first time, Yizhihua was able to say this sentence more smoothly.
In fact, normally speaking, when Yizhihua sees the pawnshop customers, she has an idea of the wishes they put forward. Usually, it is because the customers' wishes do not match their own abilities, that is, the pawn items that the customers can provide are not sufficient, so their wishes cannot be realized, which has nothing to do with Yizhihua's ability.
But Bei Xi was different. Yizhihua could not see anything on Bei Xi just by looking at her closely. Moreover, she could not understand or fulfill the wishes she said. It had nothing to do with Bei Xi's own abilities.
For the first time, Yizhihua felt confused about her career and became curious about Beixi's identity. She seemed different from other customers who entered the pawnshop.
To be honest, Bei Xi was really happy when he saw the pawn shop's instructions. He originally thought that some of his doubts could be answered, but now it seems that he thought too simply. The system will not allow an NPC to use the plot as an excuse to ask questions about the game itself.
This time, she didn't even want to look at Yizhihua, and directly tried other questions, "Why don't I have any personal skills? Or why are my personal skills bound to Anan's?"
"Can't understand."
From the nature of the game to personal skills, Bei Xi's questions were repeatedly downgraded, but it seemed that any wishes beyond this copy were beyond Yizhihua's ability, so the other party's answers were self-evident.
Yizhihua counted the green scales on her tail and spoke the truth with a guilty feeling.
It should have been a mutually agreeable and satisfying transaction, but it ended up like the teacher unilaterally asking questions to the student while the other party still didn't know anything.
In fact, Yizhihua really wanted to slap out green bubbles directly to see the valuable things on Beixi, but she looked at the other party several times and didn't dare to raise her tail.
Bei Xi didn't even need Yizhihua to explain. When she didn't get any more answers from the other party, she had already lowered her wish to a lower level. Moreover, she finally realized that the state of this NPC seemed to be wrong. For some reason, the other party acted a little... in awe of her.
It's like the natural fear that the lower ones have of the higher ones within some kind of hierarchical ethnic group.
Bei Xi was a little confused because the other party had not shown any aggressive behavior or malice. Compared to the pharmacy owner, her tail seemed smoother, more flowing, and more beautiful.
"How many pieces of the Faith Totem are there? What will happen after finding them all?"
As soon as this question came out, Bei Xi clearly felt that Yizhihua's attitude had changed, especially when he heard the words "Faith Totem Shattered".
When I heard the word 'film', the other party's expression didn't seem like he understood it, but more like he was confused.
“I don’t know.”
"Um?"
Bei Xi expressed his doubts. He really didn't know, but the other party seemed to be familiar with this thing.
Bei Xi wanted to confirm something, so he only uttered a single syllable.
As expected, Yizhihua immediately explained in a low voice after hearing this, "I really don't know, I just heard about this from another customer, and because of the transaction, I know...ah..."
Halfway through her speech, she seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly covered her mouth, refusing to say any more.
Bei Xi confirmed what he wanted to confirm and understood that the system might have some restrictions on Yizhihua, so the other party would not lie about fulfilling the wish. NPCs were restricted by the system and rules.
The instructions of the pawn shop are very clear. There are two requirements for realizing a wish. First, the wish must be within the range that a flower can fulfill. Second, the player must have something of equal value to pawn.
I don’t know if it was because Beixi took too long to think, or if Yizhihua was really nervous. The natural feeling of oppression made her worry that Beixi didn’t believe what she said.
After a long pause, she finally mustered up the courage, looked up and asked sincerely, "Why don't you make a wish that can be used here, such as becoming a saint? Or want to know who the real trader is, etc.? I can fulfill all of these."
Like a salesperson eager to sell her product, she had already begun to tell Bei Xi which wishes she could realize.
Bei Xi was brought back to his senses by her words, and replied seriously, "I can do all these with my own abilities, why should I waste an opportunity to make a wish?"
Forehead……
Yizhihua has been staying in this pawnshop since she could remember, and has come into contact with all kinds of customers. When all the customers hear that they can make a wish come true, they will be eager to express their desires. Not only will they deliberately ignore the huge pawn value they need to provide, but no one will even think about getting something through hard work.
Only Beixi seemed different. She knew her own abilities and would not rely on wishes, but Yizhihua was powerless to find out what she really wanted to know.
For some reason, when Yizhihua felt the same way, she felt a little blocked in her heart and a little disappointed.
Something flashed by, something seemed to be about to emerge, but it was finally hidden in the darkness.
This rhetorical question was so thought-provoking that Yizhihua was speechless.
"What do we do now? You can't even fulfill the wishes I proposed. Do you have any backup plans?"
Bei Xi asked sincerely. The previous sentence seemed like a casual remark and she did not take it to heart. She already had an idea of what she should test and confirm. Then she realized that she seemed to have stayed here for too long, and the separation anxiety from Nan Huan came knocking on her door again.
"Ah? No..."
All the words Yizhihua said today were not good news. She felt that if she didn't do something, she would soon shut herself off. "A wish is necessary. Otherwise, you have to bear with it."
In fact, in essence, Yizhihua still wanted to release the green bubble openly and honestly, but she did not lie. After all, the description of the pawn shop was very clear, and Beixi had guessed it to some extent. This was most likely a screening, and the real task had not yet started, so a bad wish would not work.
"Then I will make a wish that Nan Huan can be safe and sound in the game."
Bei Xi thought for a while and made a wish.
This was not the first time that Yizhihua had heard this name. This time, her reaction was a little different from before. "It's not possible in the entire game, but it should be possible in Bailan City."
Yizhihua corrected the exact limit and finally raised its tail in Beixi's impatient eyes.
The green bubble enveloped Beixi's body, but unlike Yizhihua who could clearly see the most precious things or abilities possessed by other people through the green bubble, Yizhihua could not see anything through the green bubble on Beixi's body.
In other words, Bei Xi has no equivalent pawn to exchange for wishes.
But this time the system and rules did not give any hint, her wish was beyond her ability.
The flower stood there in a daze, with even its green tail suspended in mid-air.
"What's wrong? Did you find anything I need to pawn?"
Bei Xi was willing to exchange anything for this wish, although the scope of the wish was much smaller than she expected.
Yizhihua couldn't find what went wrong, but the transaction seemed normal. She shook her tail, and the green bubble burst, and a pawn ticket appeared on the table.
Unlike other customers' pawn tickets, which had the pawned items and wishes already stated, the pawn ticket in front of Bei Xi only showed the wish, while the pawned items side was blank.
Under normal procedures, the moment the green bubble bursts, the item that Yizhihua likes should have been recorded on the ticket, but now that place is blank.
Bei Xi also noticed it, "Don't tell me you want to sign a bad check and then make up for it after I leave?"
Something must have gone wrong, after all, Yizhihua's face looked very solemn.
"Of course not," Yizhihua wanted to say that this was not a black shop, but due to Beixi's momentum, she could only explain timidly, "I just want you to pay an equal price."
Yizhihua didn't want Beixi to know about things involving the rules.
At the same time, Yizhihua raised her hand in surprise and found that her fingers were broken along with Beixi's fingers.
In the past, you only needed to shake your fish tail to sign successfully. Now, do you need to write the pawn items by hand?
But I didn't see anything from Bei Xi. What should I write?
Does that mean that I have a choice in this matter?
Yizhihua thought about it and seemed to have opened up some ideas. Suddenly, an idea appeared in her mind as if it had come to her mind, and she was not even under her control. She leaned over the table and instinctively wrote a line of words on the pawn ticket with her pierced finger.
Unconditionally protect a flower once.
