Chapter 273 The Pulling and Pulling, Now and Then, Offline
Chapter 273 The line needs to be pulled back and forth, sometimes close, sometimes far.
Someone couldn't help but whisper and ask what was wrong with that person.
"I don't know what happened, but my knees buckled and I fell to my knees. Luckily, it was crowded, otherwise, my knees would have really hit the ground and it would have hurt terribly," one of the jeering people said sheepishly.
Everyone present looked at Xia Mo. Many people had seen Xia Mo raise her hand. Some of them suspected that Xia Mo had used some kind of supernatural power to make the person who was making a fuss have a sore knee. Of course, most of them did not believe it.
In reality, whether they believe it or not is not the point; the point is... that the aura she releases must be detected by the six live-streaming systems present.
The moment Xia Mo released her aura, all six live streaming systems present, like fish that had taken the bait, popped up notification boxes on their screens.
After Xia Mo used her ability for the second time, and after confirming that Xia Mo could use her special ability on her own, the six live streaming systems immediately issued urgent and important temporary tasks to their respective hosts.
Li, Lan, Zheng, and Chen all have the same task: the live-streaming system asks them to marry Yuanshan, but the rewards are different for each of them.
Ma Yiyi's live streaming system also wanted Ma Yiyi to marry Xia Mo, but then the system realized that Ma Yiyi was a woman and could not marry, so it issued Ma Yiyi a task to become an apprentice.
Wan Sinong then issued a task to adopt a daughter; if successful, the reward would be a copy of the book "Cotton Planting Techniques".
She successfully hooked up with all six live streaming systems.
The four young masters from prominent families, Li, Lan, Zheng, and Chen, looked at the live streaming system in front of them with some disbelief.
Xia Mo shared the same divine sense with Huangfu Qian, taking in the actions of the six live-streaming systems.
She glanced smugly at Huangfu Qian, who stood proudly to the side, as if asking him how well she had handled the matter.
Huangfu Qian: "..."
Huangfu Qian stood motionless like a pine tree, as if he was not being shared with anyone's view, nor did he notice Xia Mo's gaze.
"Alright, those with prices written down can be put into the box. Remember, if someone has no money but maliciously asks for a price, Boyaxuan will record it in their register, and they will no longer have dealings with you," the manager of Boyaxuan shouted loudly.
The words of the manager of Boyaxuan had a certain effect; some people who were planning to fill in the blanks randomly did stop and did not put the slips of paper into the wooden box.
"Those who fail to clearly write the markings will also be disqualified..."
One hour later—
After identifying the twelve people closest to the late summer price, the people from Boyaxuan began to work on each one.
"Now, let's see Mr. Yuanshan's pricing. The one whose price is closest to Mr. Yuanshan's will have priority in purchasing the painting," the manager of Boyaxuan shouted, while twelve shop assistants held up signs with the prices written on them to display the paintings.
"Mr. Toyama's pricing..."
After creating a suspenseful and tense atmosphere, the manager of Boyaxuan made the announcement.
"The price of this painting is three thousand four hundred and fifty taels!"
"Congratulations to the person who tagged the turtle, congratulations!"
Wearing a golden mask shaped like a tiger's head, Huangfu Qian stepped forward and displayed another tortoise as part of the record.
The manager of Boyaxuan was stunned. Had Huangfuqian handed the price tag to the wooden box just now?
He doesn't remember, but he should have. The dignified Jiang King Huangfu Qian wouldn't impersonate someone else's mark, would he?
Congratulations, King Jiang!
Li Gongzi, who was also holding a turtle pattern, looked at Huangfu Qian standing on the steps in astonishment, then looked at the turtle pattern in his own hand, and had no choice but to crumple the paper into a ball and throw it away carelessly.
The manager of Boyaxuan was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat, fearing that someone else would come forward to claim it. Fortunately, no one else did.
Beneath the mask, Xia Mo's lips curled into a smile.
She saw what the six people with the live streaming system did, and she also saw what Huangfu Qian did.
She was somewhat tempted by Huangfu Qian's jealous behavior, but decided against it.
Xia Mo glanced at Huangfu Qian, and without Huangfu Qian turning his head, she still used her divine sense to share her vision, allowing Huangfu Qian to see her eyes clearly, and... the smile in her eyes.
This time, Huangfu Qian didn't have anyone steal the design; instead, he helped Young Master Lan successfully obtain the calligraphy and painting.
Young Master Lan grasped the calligraphy and painting. The system announced that a temporary task had been completed, and he eagerly sent the painting to the live streaming system.
The moment the calligraphy and painting entered the live streaming system, the special energy on the painting was withdrawn by Xia Mo.
The live streaming system failed to collect any more paintings. Lan Gongzi's live streaming system was unaware that there was another live streaming system that had also failed to collect any paintings. He thought that it was because this kind of energy was special and that the collection was too rough, which was why it failed.
Young Master Lan is unaware of his live-streaming system, and his live-streaming system will not tell him. Similarly, the live-streaming system will not reclaim any rewards already issued.
Young Master Lan took the poetry book he had received, glanced at it briefly, and then left with a satisfied expression.
He enjoyed the envious glances from others.
"Mr. Yuanshan, please wait!"
The crowd didn't disperse, and Xia Mo turned to leave.
Seeing that Xia Mo was about to leave, Ma Yiyi panicked and, disregarding the many people present, shouted loudly.
Xia Mo looked at Ma Yiyi, who had squeezed to the front row, with a half-smile.
She knew what Ma Yiyi was up to, and she could take this opportunity to reclaim some of her luck.
“Mr. Yuanshan, I am the wife of the third young master of the Wei family. My surname is Ma. You may call me Wei Ma Shi. I would like to invite you to the teahouse next door for a chat,” Ma Yiyi bowed respectfully to Xia Mo.
Thinking about the funny scene that was about to unfold, Xia Mo nodded and agreed.
"So it's possible to book Mr. Toyama's appointments privately!"
The onlookers regretted not speaking up sooner.
“Please,” Ma Yiyi said, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her face as she heard the envious comments.
Ma Yiyi had a tense expression, but her eyes and brows revealed her smugness, as if to say: Who told anyone here to be less clever than her?
Looking at Ma Yiyi, whom Xia Mo adored at the moment, a hint of anticipation appeared in her eyes.
"Prince Jiang, would you like to go to Yixu Teahouse?" Xia Mo extended an invitation to Huangfu Qian.
“…Fine,” Huangfu Qian said coldly without turning his head or changing his tone.
Thinking back to how she treated Huangfu Qian in Anping County, Ma Yiyi swallowed hard, her skin taut with nervousness, and carefully followed behind Huangfu Qian at an arm's length.
"I wonder if I might have the honor of meeting Mr. Yuanshan to discuss matters of calligraphy and painting?" Young Master Li, a handsome young man, stepped forward and inquired.
Xia Mo uttered only one word: "No."
The fish has taken the bait. You need to tug the line back and forth to make it easier to catch the fish.
