Xi Xi stood in front of a pile of storage chests, her eyes scanning each one eagerly. After searching for a while, she finally managed to find a pair of dad pants in a chest in the corner.
These pants are of decent quality, with a retro style that can be considered fashionable, but the two pant legs are loose, and the waist is unusually large. Even with a belt, it doesn't help, and they are clearly unwearable.
Xi Xi picked up the old-fashioned pants and held them up against herself a few times, and the result was, of course, a disastrous sight.
However, Xi Xi was quite satisfied with this "horrible" appearance. Without saying a word, she uploaded the retro dad pants to the event page, just to make up the numbers.
[Event Notice: Item value is being evaluated...]
[Ding! Upload successful, thank you for participating!]
Just as Xi Xi had predicted, these dad jeans were very inexpensive. However, compared to the dazzling array of smelly socks on the event page, they were still considerably more expensive.
"That's fine, participation is what matters..." Xi Xi smiled awkwardly.
In the item description section, eye-catching keywords such as "XXXXL", "plus size men's clothing" and "work pants" were displayed on the screen, but after a while, no one came to bid.
Unfortunately, Xi Xi didn't have any decent clothes to wear for the competition, and besides, she didn't have any desire to win or lose in this "Silk Competition".
Since that's the case, why not take the opportunity to sneak back a few cleaning charms, as everyone on the public chat is saying?
However, Xi Xi had no intention of buying second-hand socks.
Although she wasn't wealthy, she wasn't too short of survival points either. So, with a bit of curiosity, she browsed the event page with great interest, hoping to find some truly valuable clothing.
In the activity trading hall, all kinds of waste items are displayed one after another.
For example, "a stocking with a big hole"—it's more than just a hole; the entire stocking looks like it's been gnawed by rats, and it's quite a sight to behold.
[Item Hint: A stocking with a large hole. Besides being used as a sock, it might also be useful as an eye mask to block out the light.]
"..." What the hell is this eye mask? You're just spouting nonsense with a straight face, aren't you?
Xi Xi, exasperated, closed the game notification, returned to the product page, and flipped to the next page—"Boxer briefs without elastic bands."
Whether these boxer shorts are clean or not is another matter, but the whole pair of pants looks like a plastic bag, so loose that it looks like they might fall down at any moment.
Aside from being a rag, Xi Xi couldn't think of any other use for it...
There's also the "vest with a missing zipper." The garment is actually quite intact, but the zipper can't be zipped up, so it lets in the wind. Among all the junk... well, okay, it's still somewhat useful.
And the "alien T-shirt with one long sleeve and one short sleeve" might be considered art in the original world, but in the world of survival, Xi Xi felt it was completely useless.
Even worse, some sellers are selling "only one plastic slipper left" as treasures...
Xi Xi was speechless for a moment, and had no choice but to reluctantly return to the main event interface.
The server-wide event screen was still scrolling, but the topics were almost all unrelated to the event. Everyone was talking to themselves, trying to find relatives and friends from other servers.
Xi Xi stared at the scroll for a long time, hoping to find a name that started with the character "Xi". Unfortunately, the scrolling speed was too fast, and even shouting here had no effect.
Even so, Xi Xi still tried to send a few of their family's exclusive codes on the server-wide public chat.
After a brief pause, Xi Xi sighed, then tapped the screen again to open the event details page, wanting to learn more about the specific rules and rewards of the event.
[Event Benefits: Each adventurer has 3 purchase opportunities. After each successful purchase (excluding items purchased from the adventurer's own character), an additional gift will be awarded.]
[Unsold items will be returned to the adventurer after the event ends;]
In addition, the top three adventurers with the highest sales will receive special gifts as part of the New Year's event.
[Final evaluation criteria for points: 80% sales revenue + 20% game NPC appreciation]
Have a wonderful trip and welcome the New Year together!
This time, there are also NPCs to appreciate! Xi Xi suddenly perked up.
Xi Xi had missed the NPC tasting event in the previous "Food Competition" and regretted it for a long time. She was determined not to miss it again this time.
After all, she didn't have the ability to fight hard in this "Silk Competition," so Xi Xi wasn't disappointed, because at least she could enjoy the gossip and join in the fun.
She quickly and efficiently tidied up the surrounding items, and then began to seriously consider the food for the New Year's Eve celebration.
My eyes swept over the storage cabinet next to me, and there was a whole variety of snacks, including potato chips, cookies, jelly, and spicy strips! Luckily, I had stocked up on a lot at Grandma You's convenience store before, so it was time to take them out and finish them all off!
After a moment's thought, Xi Xi turned around and walked to a corner, where she laboriously carried out a box of fresh rice wine that she had opened a few days ago.
She gently opened the box and took out bottles of exquisite rice wine. The rice wine came in various flavors, including the original rice aroma, as well as green grape, banana, cheese, peach, and other flavors.
Xi Xi nodded in satisfaction. She carefully wiped the outer packaging of the wine bottles clean, and then put the processed rice wines into the car refrigerator one by one.
After finishing all that, Xi Xi didn't stop her busy work. She started thinking about the staple food.
So she quickly ran to the kitchen area of the carriage, wanting to see what her mother was planning to do today.
Chu Zhiqin had somehow brought back a large basket of vines that emitted a faint glow, and was now sitting quietly at the entrance of the washroom, intently cleaning them.
Xi Xi leaned forward curiously and saw Chu Zhiqin gently and skillfully dismantling the glowing plants into thin fibers.
The torn fibers shimmered with a dazzling light, seemingly brighter than the intact vines.
