Chapter 493: Can You Eat by Relying on Your Appearance?
[Host, since we've been working together for so long, I'll give you two tips.]
First, you're on Yongfu Street right now, so finding a market shouldn't be difficult for you! As long as you're a little diligent, I think 30 minutes of free time is enough.
Second, Wu Xiaozhu, the person you're eating with, is still related to you. Although you two don't know each other at the moment, she's definitely someone you wouldn't expect.
[Since you two are likely acquaintances, does that mean the difficulty of this mission is lowered for you? If the mission difficulty is lowered, then the rewards and points for success will naturally be lower. Is there anything you don't understand?]
"What? What do you mean, you glutton? I actually know this guy who's eating for free from thousands of miles away? Is that really that dramatic?"
[Host, isn't life full of surprises? Okay! I won't waste any more of your time, just go and complete your mission! This system is discontinued!]
"Oh my god, I haven't finished asking! You good-for-nothing, why are you leaving just like that? Can we still have fun?"
Jiang Duoduo's conversation with the system immediately reduced the task time by two minutes.
Time was running out, and as soon as the system was removed, Jiang Duoduo searched on her mobile phone for where the Yongfu Street Spring Festival Market was.
It turned out that the market was right next to it, and Jiang Duoduo arrived in about three minutes by car.
There are a lot of stalls in this market, selling everything from food to daily necessities and toys to decorations.
In addition, there were more people shopping during the Spring Festival holiday. Jiang Duoduo looked up from the car window and saw that the place was packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Beep, beep, beep… beep, beep…
Jiang Duoduo's car had only stopped at the intersection for a few seconds when the cars behind started honking their horns.
The car couldn't get in, so Jiang Duoduo had to find a place to park first.
Jiang Duoduo followed the flow of traffic and circled around the market. All the parking spaces on the roadside were occupied by other cars.
So she hurriedly drove the car to the alley behind the hotel.
After parking the car, Jiang Duoduo ran towards the market as fast as she could.
Thanks to the light-weight skills given by the system, it only took her about ten minutes to go back and forth.
The next step is to find a stall selling handmade sachets.
Jiang Duoduo walked in the bustling crowd, her eyes scanning back and forth at the stalls on both sides of the street like lasers.
She did see two people at the stall selling sachets, but when she went up to ask, they both shook their heads in confusion, indicating that they were not Wu Xiaozhu.
Another five minutes passed quickly.
"Wu Xiaozhu, Wu Xiaozhu... where are you? Could this idiot Fan Tong be trying to trick me?"
Jiang Duoduo muttered to herself as she walked.
There was not much time left for the mission, and a look of anxiety instantly appeared on Jiang Duoduo's face.
I received this task of eating for free several months ago, so I can't fail so easily. At least I have to find a target to eat for free.
But there are only thirteen minutes left.
Even if I could find Wu Xiaozhu now, I would still have to shamelessly get a free meal! Even if I was lucky enough to get a free meal right away, I would still have to eat until I was 70% full...
With so many things going on, let alone just a dozen minutes, even half an hour would be a bit risky.
Just when Jiang Duoduo thought that her mission of getting a free meal was going to fail, a handmade stall selling sachets and lucky bags appeared in front of her.
The stall owner was a young girl with a slightly dark skin, but pretty facial features. She was taking out a glutinous rice ball from the cloth bag she was carrying.
"Oh my god, could this be Wu Xiaozhu?"
Jiang Duoduo ran towards the stall in front as if she had discovered a new world.
"Hello! Are you Wu Xiaozhu?"
Rushing to the stall, Jiang Duoduo asked excitedly.
"Huh? How...how do you know my name?"
When a young girl named Wu Xiaozhu saw someone coming, she put down the rice ball in her hand.
Then he looked up and down at Jiang Duoduo in front of him with a look of surprise.
Her first impression was that this young lady looked like a female celebrity!
He has a high nose bridge and big, deep eyes. He wears dark blue fleece wide-leg pants, a black turtleneck sweater inside, and a very textured beige short down jacket outside.
Her long black hair was braided into a side ponytail, and she looked very pleasing to the eye.
Wu Xiaozhu felt that the young lady in front of him was the kind of beautiful girl who could be spotted at a glance in the crowd.
But what she couldn't understand was how this young lady knew that her name was Wu Xiaozhu?
"me?"
Jiang Duoduo's face trembled, and her brain began to work rapidly.
What should she say to make Wu Xiaozhu believe her and be willing to give her the glutinous rice ball she just took out?
Oh my god! Why am I getting so shameless again after not eating for free these past few months?
The little girl only has a rice ball, how can you have the nerve to ask for it?
Ring ring ring…
Just as Jiang Duoduo was struggling with her conscience, the phone in her down jacket pocket rang.
"Hey Duoduo, what took you so long to drive? Why don't we go to the hotel and wait for you downstairs? It's not good to sit in someone else's shop for too long."
Chen Shuyue's voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"Okay, Mom. You guys wait for me on the first floor of the hotel! I have something to do here and will be back soon."
After Jiang Duoduo hung up the phone, she looked at the time on her phone. Oh my god, there were only nine minutes left for the mission.
Time waits for no one. Jiang Duoduo's mind is empty and she can't find a suitable reason to eat for free.
So he directly said, "Little sister... I'm very hungry now... Can you... share half of your rice ball with me?"
Jiang Duoduo hesitated, but finally finished speaking with a thick face.
Although her face was red at the moment, she felt relieved immediately after she said it.
Who cares if the mission is successful or not! At least you are trying your best, right?
"You want to eat my rice ball?"
Wu Xiaozhu found it a little unbelievable and wondered in his heart, could this beautiful young lady be a liar?
Not right either!
I'm a poor man, what could they possibly cheat me of? Is it really just for half a rice ball?
Seeing that the other party did not directly refuse, but was a little confused, Jiang Duoduo asked again, "Is it okay?"
"But...it's okay!"
Wu Xiaozhu readily broke a large rice ball into two halves, taking half for himself and giving the other half to Jiang Duoduo.
She thought that the young lady might be really hungry, so she asked her for food.
As the saying goes, appearance comes from the heart.
Someone who looks so noble and dignified can't be a bad person.
Besides, this rice ball of mine is very big.
Her mother was worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat at noon when she set up the stall, so she brought her a big rice ball that was big enough for two people.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
Jiang Duoduo said thank you twice and started to eat the rice ball in her hand.
This rice ball?
The rice balls tasted familiar to Jiang Duoduo, just like the rice balls her mother Chen Shuyue usually made.
