Chapter Forty: A Flock of Lambs to the Slaughter



On the day of the event, Yu Mobai was still sleeping in bed when Zheng Zhaoxia dragged him out of bed.

The couple didn't sleep well all night and got up at 5:30 in the morning. Yu Mobai, on the other hand, was very carefree and didn't seem to want to get up even though it was already 7 o'clock.

"Mom, it's only a few o'clock, let me sleep a little longer."

"Sleep? What time is it?"

Zheng Zhaoxia pulled back his blanket. "The two girls outside have already arrived, and you're still sleeping."

Yu Mobai pouted, but still obediently got up.

In the living room, the two girls were surprisingly sitting very close together, still arguing about what happened last night.

Last night, Yu Mobai and his friends played a guild war in the game. They were in teams of five, including Feng Linhao, who was their in-game wife. They cooperated quite well.

The last game.

In Yu Mobai's team, Dong Yike fell to the ground, and the opponent only had one person left. Instead of healing her and reviving her, Ji Mushu, who was the support, easily took down the opponent with a basic attack.

This resulted in Dong Yike losing a lot of experience.

In response, Ji Mushu said that she pressed the wrong button because she was nervous.

But Dong Yike knew exactly what she was thinking, so she came to confront her early in the morning.

"You two are really energetic."

Yu Mobai spoke indistinctly, his mouth full of foam.

"Ji Mushu, you're so damn despicable."

Dong Yike lowered her head and said with a stern face, "Do you know how much time it took for Sister Yike to catch up on all that experience?"

"I know."

Ji Mushu nodded with a beaming smile, "If you spend double the time online, it should take about five days to make up for it."

"you..."

Dong Yike was clearly surprised that Ji Mushu had calculated things so clearly. She said angrily, "Fine, so you said you didn't do it on purpose? You even calculated the timing."

"Oh, what a pity. The dungeon opens in three days. You're so far behind in experience that you probably won't be able to reach level 90."

Ji Mushu turned her head, revealing a big smile, and walked towards the dining table with a victorious look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Dong Yike made a sound like a puppy guarding its food, and angrily pounded the sofa.

As far as Yu Mobai could remember, this was the first time he had seen Dong Yike suffer a setback.

The two continued to clash at the dinner table, with the other always trying to snatch anything that one of them was about to pick up.

Yu Mobai remarked more than once that Ji Mushu always changed her aloof demeanor in front of Dong Yike.

Could it be that these two are the real love?

After breakfast, the family of five rushed to the supermarket.

But when they got near the supermarket, they were dumbfounded.

The phrase "a sea of ​​people" is truly the most fitting description.

The entire street was packed with people.

Yu Jinsheng went to the police station to file a report yesterday, and several police officers are directing traffic.

"Son, I'm so glad I listened to you, otherwise with so many people, something could easily have happened."

He stared in disbelief at the scene. "Let's go, let's go inside quickly."

Yu Mobai nodded. Although he was mentally prepared, he underestimated this group of people.

In 2008, there was no internet surfing or short video bombardment. More people preferred to go out for walks, chat with neighbors, or even go to supermarkets for discounts and promotions, which is why this scene occurred.

The five of them finally managed to squeeze in. Old Li, the stationery store owner, and the restaurant owner were all inside helping out, and the cashiers they had recently hired were also constantly carrying out rice, flour, and cooking oil that were being given away as freebies.

Upon seeing Yu Mobai and his family arrive, the group stopped.

Old Li wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Luckily, I came early today and moved the refrigerator out early. Otherwise, with the situation outside, it would have been difficult to move it."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Li."

Yu Mobai said with a grin, "My parents got up at five o'clock in the morning."

"Sigh, we're about the same."

The proprietress's eyes were shining. "Mo Bai, there are so many people outside, it's really unexpected. I didn't think there would be so many."

"Don't worry, Sister Wang, everyone will be alright after today."

The shop owners nodded in agreement. Even Zhongxing Supermarket couldn't have such a large customer flow, could it?

"Big brother."

Yu Mobai looked at the restaurant owner and said, "Have you prepared the ingredients for lunch yet? I specifically chose this time because a large number of customers will be coming to your restaurant for lunch."

"You're a true friend, little brother."

The restaurant owner smiled and said, "Everything is ready."

Yu Mobai nodded, looking at the crowd outside, which resembled a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The event officially began at 10:00 AM.

Yu Mobai opened the supermarket door and stood confidently on the makeshift platform that had been set up the day before.

All eyes in the supermarket were on him; whether he would succeed depended on today!

Good morning, everyone. Welcome to today's anniversary celebration at Mobai Supermarket.

He grinned and pointed to the dozens of refrigerators next to the counter. "I bet everyone's here for the refrigerators, right?"

"yes..."

The responses from the audience were sparse and intermittent.

"With such a low voice, it'll be difficult to deliver the refrigerator. And one more question, did everyone come here for the refrigerator?"

"yes!"

This time the voice was several times louder.

However, Yu Mobai's smile deepened. "Taking these refrigerators is simple, but there's a small request first."

Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage immediately began to complain.

"I knew it wasn't really a free gift!"

"This is all a marketing tactic!"

"It's really a scam!"

Yu Mobai smiled and waited for the people below the stage to finish complaining before continuing, "Half of these refrigerators over there are free, and the other half are up for grabs in a raffle. Today, you can take home a refrigerator by paying a deposit of three thousand yuan!"

This statement caused an uproar in the audience.

After going through thirteen tricks, in the end, what was supposed to be a free gift turned into something you had to pay for yourself?

Who would be willing?

One of the older women shouted angrily, "I paid three thousand yuan, is that considered free? You merchants are cheating people without any conscience, what a waste of my time coming here early in the morning!"

"I knew there was no Guanyin Bodhisattva in this world, and they actually sent a refrigerator? It's all a scam!"

"Let's all go, let's all go. You'd be better off buying discounted items at ZTE instead!"

After they finished speaking, some of them left.

This made everyone in the supermarket very anxious. What happened? Why are people leaving so soon after the opening?

Old Li was the most agitated, "Why isn't Mo Bai continuing? Why is he just letting these people leave?"

What are you worried about?

The stationery store owner rolled her eyes at him. "Those are just people coming to watch the show. The people who are really interested are waiting for what happens next."

Old Li gave an embarrassed smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He was probably the most anxious of the three families, but there was nothing he could say right now.

Zheng Zhaoxia, on the other hand, was tightly gripping Yu Jinsheng's sleeve, afraid that something else might happen.

With so many people watching, we can't afford to mess this up.
