Chapter 157 Transaction Failed
Lu Cheng was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around.
On the road behind, an elderly woman with a full head of white hair appeared out of nowhere.
She was looking at Lu Cheng with a smile.
This person is Grandma Kim Soo!
Lu Cheng nodded repeatedly: "This... sister, I was just worried about not finding someone to drink with, thank you for not minding!"
Grandma Jinxiu walked briskly and arrived in front of Lu Cheng in a few steps. "Haha, I'm already quite old, just call me Grandma Jinxiu."
Her agile movements truly surprised Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng's surprise was perfectly timed. "I really couldn't tell."
Grandma Jinxiu sat opposite Lu Cheng, glanced at the many kinds of wine on the table, and pointed to a bottle of baijiu: "This one."
Lu Cheng, being very perceptive, picked up the white bottle and filled it for her.
Grandma Jinxiu picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
"This wine... is quite good." She nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Lu Cheng. "Aren't you going to drink some?"
Lu Cheng looked at the bottle of 56-proof liquor and swallowed hard.
He went to great lengths to buy props from Grandma Kim Soo!
Lu Cheng filled his glass, closed his eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.
A spicy sensation traveled down the tip of my tongue, eventually igniting a wildfire in my stomach.
Lu Cheng used all his strength to keep his features from contorting, but his face immediately turned as red as a monkey's bottom.
Grandma Jinxiu glanced at him, somewhat disappointed, "Young man, you can't hold your liquor."
After saying that, he got up to leave.
Lu Cheng's head was spinning and throbbing, but he knew he couldn't let Granny Jinxiu leave like this, so he swayed as he stood up: "Granny, wait a minute! I... I have the Heart of the Night Demon here, and I... I want to make a deal with you..."
Grandma Kim Soo didn't even glance at him. "I only make deals with handsome men."
Lu Cheng's mind was a complete blank. Hearing her words, he pointed to his face in disbelief: "Isn't my face handsome?"
Grandma Jinxiu laughed heartily, "She's so young, she hasn't even grown all her hair yet."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Lu Cheng, in a daze, collapsed onto the snow and passed out.
...
Meng Qingyin got up early to send a message to Lu Cheng.
Mengmeng: "Keep it up! Looking forward to your good news!"
I'm the luckiest person (poor man's version): "Wait for my good news!"
Meng Qingyin was quite reassured by Lu Cheng's appearance.
Moreover, Lu Cheng has meticulously prepared so much wine, he's sure to succeed!
After finishing breakfast, she started keeping an eye on the supply boxes while also keeping track of the time.
Around nine o'clock, she couldn't help but message Lu Cheng again: "How did it go? Did you run into Granny Jinxiu?"
Lu Cheng did not reply.
Meng Qingyin initially thought he had encountered Granny Jinxiu and was too busy to reply to her, so she didn't ask any further questions.
But by noon, Lu Cheng still hadn't replied to her.
Meng Qingyin sensed that something was wrong.
Even if you have a pleasant conversation with Grandma Jinxiu, you can't talk for this long, can you?
Mengmeng: "Lu Cheng? Did something happen to you?"
Lu Cheng still hasn't replied.
Meng Qingyin immediately sent a message to the group of five: "It seems like something happened to Lu Cheng. Does anyone have a teleportation card?"
I'm unlucky: "I'll go check it out right now."
A minute later, I, the unlucky one, sent a message in the group: "[Image] It's nothing serious, he probably just drank too much and passed out."
In the photo, Lu Cheng is lying on the snow, his face as red as blood.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "How much did he drink?"
Chen Leying: "Was he the only one there?"
I'm an unlucky person: "Yeah, he was all alone. I wonder how much he drank."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "What on earth happened? Did he drink himself into a stupor?"
I'm unlucky: "I can only wait until he wakes up to ask."
Lu Cheng didn't regain consciousness until the afternoon.
He had a splitting headache, clutching his head in pain, and his throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire.
I, being an unlucky person, handed him a glass of water, saying, "Have some water."
Lu Cheng took it and gulped it down in a few mouthfuls.
Since I'm unlucky, I asked, "What happened? Did you run into Granny Kim Soo?"
After drinking a glass of water, Lu Cheng's throat finally felt less dry. He cleared his throat and said, "I met her, but she won't do business with me!"
I, an unlucky player, wondered: "Why? Wasn't it said that Granny Kim Soo only trades with handsome men? Then why doesn't she trade with you?"
Lu Cheng sighed, "How would I know?"
I'm unlucky: "Never mind, you tell Mengmeng and the others about this first, I should go back."
Lu Cheng nodded.
Soon, Meng Qingyin and the other two knew that Lu Cheng had failed.
Everyone was puzzled by this.
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Huh? Why did it fail? Although I insulted Lu Cheng, to be fair, he is indeed very handsome. Why didn't Granny Jinxiu make a deal with him?"
I'm a lucky person (poor version): "I don't understand either."
Mengmeng: "Tell us the whole story of how you met Granny Jinxiu, and we'll analyze it together."
Lu Cheng then recounted everything that had happened from the moment he met Granny Jinxiu until she left, without missing a single detail.
Drinking strong liquor to drown my sorrows: "Could it be that she thinks you can't hold your liquor?"
I'm unlucky: "Possibly. I've never seen anyone get drunk after just one drink like him!"
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "So what should we do now? Grandma Kim Soo is gone, she definitely won't do business with me anymore. Sorry, I messed this up."
Mengmeng: "This is not your fault. However... I don't think it's because of your drinking capacity."
I'm a lucky person (poor guy version): "What else could it be?"
Mengmeng: "Is it possible that you're not Grandma Jinxiu's type?"
Chen Leying: "Maybe she prefers older men."
I'm the Lucky One (Poor Man's Version): "Huh? You like older women? Why do you guys think that?"
Mengmeng: "Didn't she leave a message before she left? Maybe she thought you were too young and naive."
Drinking strong liquor to drown one's sorrows: "That makes a lot of sense."
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "Where can we find someone older who we can trust?"
The group chat fell silent.
It's easier to talk about someone who's older.
The key question is, how can people who have no connection with him entrust the Heart of the Night Demon to him?
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Why don't we take our time looking for someone? This can't be rushed."
I'm unlucky: "That's all we can do for now."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "By the way, I wonder when the next phase will begin. 007 said the other day that once we've cleaned up the mess left by 996, we can start the next phase. Hasn't this mess been cleaned up yet?"
No one can answer this question.
Meng Qingyin tried sending a message to 007: "007, have you cleaned up the mess left by 996?"
007 quickly replied: 【It's already been processed.】
Meng Qingyin asked in surprise, "When can we move on to the next stage?"
007: [Well, that's not up to me. It depends on you players.]
Mengmeng: "What do you mean?"
007: [You are now qualified to move on to the next stage, but whether you actually get in depends on yourselves.]
Meng Qingyin seemed to understand but not quite: "Could it be the same way as when we entered the Vitality Grassland last time?"
007: [I can't reveal too much.]
