"You talk as if you have a lot of rare and interesting things." Lan Zechen's tone and expression showed disbelief.
Although she already had a nice item in her pocket, it didn't mean she had so many nice things that she asked for some of her own.
My shop has plenty of good stuff, but not every customer who comes in can find something they like.
"Tell me about it, maybe I happen to have one?" Hong Xiaoduo showed no displeasure whatsoever.
If you can't find anything that meets their requirements in the space, you can try exchanging it. If you still can't find it, you can ask Old Man Luo for help.
Anyway, she was determined to get her hands on that other piece of paper with the information about the surname Gong in his hand today.
Indeed, seeing her insistence, Lan Zechen shook his head and smiled, then thought for a moment and said, "Today is the fifteenth of the first lunar month, and one of my treasured revolving lanterns has broken."
If you can produce a revolving lantern that satisfies me, you can exchange it for this.
"Let's make it clear first, it has to be something that satisfies me. Not some ordinary product that I can easily buy with money."
After saying that, he looked at Hong Xiaoduo with a half-smile, thinking to himself, "Let's see what you have to say next!"
A revolving lantern? Hong Xiaoduo knew what kind of lantern it was. She knew it before she was tricked into coming to this dynasty. It appeared in period dramas and ancient romance novels.
But to my recollection, I've never seen this thing in any of the storage cabinets in the space.
She mentally entered her space and decided to check the exchange interface. Ever since Old Man Luo started frequently adding various things to her space, she hadn't opened the device that required energy points to exchange for.
The plan is to save all the energy for when something important happens, and exchange it for things that aren't in the storage lockers.
At this moment, in Lan Zechen's eyes, she was stumped by what he wanted.
Hmph, this little girl is actually not bad. He decided that if she asked him for help later, he wouldn't make things difficult for her and could make an exception for her. Besides, he could just buy the information on this piece of paper with silver.
Anyway, judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem like someone who's broke.
How could someone who carries an ancient sword worth thousands of gold coins while traveling outside be poor?
Hong Xiaoduo turned on the exchange device in her space and found that there were more categories inside, and there was even a magnifying glass search icon on it?
Huh, it's been upgraded again?
With a try-it-out mentality, Hong Xiaoduo typed out the three words "carousel".
The display screen quickly showed three images, which were three different shapes and patterns of carousels.
There's also a parenthetical note indicating its performance: solar-powered and with sound effects.
Hong Xiaoduo chose a lamp with a design that matched the dynasty. It depicted ladies in ancient costumes with musicians beside them. As the lamp turned, music began to play, and the ladies danced gracefully to the music.
Having lived in this dynasty for over two years, Hong Xiaoduo had seen revolving lanterns before. Although they looked exquisitely crafted, they were nothing compared to the one she had chosen.
She felt that if she gave this lamp to the Pavilion Master, he would definitely be satisfied.
If he's not satisfied, he can just change it again. Anyway, there are still two lamps to choose from. Even if he doesn't like those two lamps either, he'll just have to ask Old Man Luo for help.
I exchanged thirty energy points for a good lamp, and the actual product I received looked even better than the picture on the screen.
However, the lamp cannot simply be taken out of the space. The lamp is not like a magnifying glass, which can be rummaged through in a purse before being taken out.
Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo didn't react, Lan Zechen thought to himself that he had stumped her and was just waiting for her to show weakness.
She's just a little girl, she shouldn't be as obsessed with saving face as a man!
“I should be able to get what the Pavilion Master wants. How about I go back and get it for you to see?” Hong Xiaoduo left the lamp in the space and sent it out of the space with her thoughts.
"Alright, but please try to do it as soon as possible, young lady. I only mentioned the revolving lantern because today is the Lantern Festival, and I wanted to be on the right track. After tonight, I might lose interest," Lan Zechen reminded him.
Anyway, he didn't believe that what the other party brought could meet his standards.
"It should be about half an hour." After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo put the papers in her hand, picked up the Thunderfire Sword and put it back on her waist, and left.
Lan Zechen suddenly remembered something and quickly summoned someone, instructing them to keep a close eye on the young woman who had just left.
He was genuinely curious about the identity of the person who possessed the Thunderfire Sword.
At the inn, Quan Jinghuai and the others saw her return. After coming back, she went to the carriage and then went out again carrying something wrapped in a cloth.
In the Treasure Pavilion, Lan Zechen was excitedly looking at the lens he had just acquired, when an old servant stepped forward to report that the young lady had returned.
You're back, let's go see.
After playing with the new lens, Lan Zechen felt more and more that he had truly obtained a treasure today. Even though he was not sure if the little girl could bring him another surprise, Lan Zechen still looked forward to it and immediately went to see her.
The newly acquired lenses were not left in the room; they were put in a brocade bag I had just found and carefully hung around my waist.
Upon entering the inner hall, Lan Zechen's gaze immediately fell upon the object wrapped in a cloth on the table.
Judging from its shape, it does indeed resemble a lamp.
"You're back so soon?" Lan Zechen asked, feigning surprise.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare to delay you, for fear of disturbing your lantern viewing, Master."
After saying that, Hong Xiaoduo reached out and unwrapped the package, revealing the lamp inside.
"That's it? The lamp is quite exquisite, and the figures on it are painted very realistically. But I'm sorry, I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip. There's nothing special about this lamp, is there?" Lan Zechen said with some disappointment.
"Master, please don't rush to conclusions. If there was nothing special about it, why would I have brought it to you? Would you please have someone block out the light here?"
"Whether it's special or not, we can just verify it on the spot," Hong Xiaoduo said, glancing at the windows and doors.
You can display this carousel without blocking it, but the dimmer the light, the better the effect of the carousel.
Alright, Lan Zechen thought, for the sake of that lens, I might as well go through the trouble. Anyway, I don't have to do anything myself. Let's see just how special this lamp that girl brought is. Is it just particularly bright?
The person in charge quickly found a curtain and deftly covered the two windows. After closing the door, it immediately became pitch black.
The old servant tentatively asked if they should light a lamp.
Lan Zechen asked Hong Xiaoduo, but she said no, took out a tinderbox, and said to Lan Zechen by the light, "Master, look carefully, the first special feature of this revolving lantern is that it does not need candles or lamp oil."
"Move this small wooden wedge a little this way, and then, please, Master, take a look..."
