Chapter 323: Exploding Piggy Bank, Fried Chicken and Beer

Chapter 323: Exploding Piggy Bank, Fried Chicken and Beer
The colorful lights interweave together, illuminating the entire pedestrian street night market.

On both sides of the street, stalls are lined up one after another, and men and women come and go.

Fried noodles, grilled skewers, fried chicken, stinky tofu, candied haws…

Laughter, playfulness, hawking…

Tang Song walked along the sidewalk among the crowd.

He is very familiar with this pedestrian street, having been here many times during college.

If it weren't for the summer vacation, this place would be much more lively than it is now.

Right in front of my sight, a golden piggy bank became clearer and clearer.

Passing a smoky barbecue stall, a few small stalls that were not very busy came into view.

The eyes behind Tang Song's lenses quickly looked towards the "piggy bank".

It was floating above a girl's head, jumping up and down lively, and the sound of coins colliding became more and more rapid.

Wait until you can see the girl's figure and appearance clearly.

Tang Song instantly understood why Qian Lele went out with a handbag every night.

In mid-July in Yancheng, the air was a bit stuffy even at night.

Qian Lele was wearing ordinary jeans and a gray polo shirt, and the sweat stains on his forehead were particularly clear under the light.

Her long hair was casually tied behind her head, with a few strands swaying gently beside her cheeks, and her skin had a slight, healthy blush.

Like a quietly blooming daisy, it exudes a fresh and unique beauty.

She was squatting in front of a step, with a simple small stool under her butt and a rechargeable light bulb in her hand.

In front of me was a beige cloth with a wide variety of bracelets on it, wrapped in simple PVC bags.

There was a white plastic board next to it with the words "5 yuan per string, pick whatever you like" written on it.

It doesn't take up much space, and because it is laid directly on the ground, it looks very inconspicuous.

This female college student is indeed working hard to make money.

As she is about to enter her junior year, she not only works part-time at the Weiguang Café, but also sets up a stall at the night market in the evening.

He is also very frugal in his life and only has two or three sets of clothes that he matches back and forth.

After a slight start, Tang Song quickly came to his senses and looked at the "piggy bank" above her head with sharp eyes.

Just as I was thinking about how to defeat this wild monster, lines of text suddenly appeared in front of me.

[Wild monster "Piggy Bank" has appeared in the attack range]

[Binded to the stall owner "Qian Lele who sells bracelets"]

[Every time the stall owner sells a product, the corresponding sales amount will be put into the "piggy bank". When the "piggy bank" is full, the "piggy bank" will be killed]

[Piggy Bank (Random Wild Monster): Remaining Capacity 500]

[Please help the stall owner increase sales and kill wild monsters. The time limit is 2 hours]

[Note: As a qualified "study god", you can only use your own knowledge and talents. Once you cheat or seek external help, the wild monsters will flee. ]

At this moment, a male customer in front of the stall picked up a cinnabar bracelet.

Qian Lele quickly raised her head and introduced the bracelet in a gentle and clear voice.

The male customer simply played with the bracelet, chatted with Qian Lele for a while, and happily scanned the code to pay.

The piggy bank shook itself proudly and opened its mouth.

A golden light emerged from Qian Lele's body and turned into a coin which was eaten by the "piggy bank".

[Piggy Bank (Random Wild Monster): Remaining Capacity 495]

After browsing the system introduction, Tang Song quickly understood the killing process.

That means achieving sales of 500 yuan and selling 100 skewers.

The reason why wild monsters refresh on Qian Lele may be because of [Luck +2].

After all, they are friends, so many things are much easier to handle.

Tang Song pursed his lips and walked over.

"Hello, would you like to see the bracelet?" Qian Lele noticed someone approaching the stall and looked over with a smile.

Then he stood up quickly.

"Good evening, Brother Song, are you out shopping?"

Her voice was a little low, her face was embarrassed and shy, and she seemed very ashamed.

It’s not that she feels ashamed to make money by setting up a stall. After all, most people around her know about it, and she has gotten used to it.

It is mainly the thirst for knowledge and dedication to sleep and forgetfulness that Tang and Song showed, which is truly brilliant.

He is clearly a college student, but instead of reading or studying at night, he comes out to set up a street stall.

Compared with Tang Song, she was ashamed.

"Good evening." Tang Song showed a warm smile on his face, "I'm tired from studying, so I came out for a walk to relax."

"Well, proper rest is good for the body." Qian Lele hung his hands in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Wen, who had just finished making a sausage, turned around and asked curiously, "Le Le, is this your classmate?"

As she spoke, her eyes turned to Tang Song who was standing there.

He is handsome, tall and well-proportioned, but a little unkempt.

Cheap knockoff sneakers, neat and ordinary T-shirt and jeans, slightly oily skin and hair.

But he has a good temperament, a focused and focused gaze, and exudes a strong scholarly air.

He is like a top student who loves studying in school and is also very charming.

Qian Lele shook his head and said, "Brother Song is my colleague at the part-time coffee shop."

"Oh." Zhang Wen nodded in understanding and said with a hearty smile: "Hello, I'm Zhang Wen."

"Hello, I'm Tang Song."

The two of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and Tang Song stood directly next to Qian Lele.

Seeing her feeling a little awkward, he smiled and said, "Is it okay to stay here with you for a while?"

"No, no! How could that be!" Qian Lele waved his hands quickly, moved the stool to the side and said, "Song brother, please sit down."

Tang Song took one look at the simple stool and quickly concluded that it could not bear his weight.

"I can just stand. I've been sitting all day. Don't worry about me. Just continue selling bracelets."

He wanted to observe Qian Lele's sales and customer situation first, and then make a plan and find a way to kill the wild monsters.

"Okay." Qian Lele sat down on the small stool again, his jeans tight into a round and attractive curve.

People come and go on the busy pedestrian street.

From time to time, someone would come up and pick up the bracelet, ask about the material, look at the workmanship, and then get up and leave.

Tang Song watched from the side for ten minutes. Although Qian Lele worked hard and enthusiastically, he didn't make a single sale.

After a little thought, and combining the information provided by the glasses, Tang Song quickly came to a conclusion.

The quality of these bracelets is very average, even inferior, and the cost is extremely low.

The main target users should be students, after all, this place is right next to the Normal University.

But now it is summer vacation, and the people coming and going are nearby residents and office workers.

They can't even wear this low-quality bracelet that costs more than one dollar.

Even if you use various marketing methods to help sell, it is difficult to achieve the goal.

Therefore, if you want to kill the wild monster "Piggy Bank", you need to find another way.

However, for him who is in the "super god" state, it is not a difficult task.

While he was thinking, Zhang Wen beside him suddenly laughed and said, "Tang Song, a friendly reminder, you standing next to her will affect her business. Lele is such a pretty girl, many single boys will come up to her with the intention of chatting her up, asking about bracelets and chatting, and the transaction rate is quite good. When you come, others will think you are a couple, so..."

Qian Lele quickly stood up and blushed, "Sister Wen, what nonsense are you talking about? That's impossible!"

"Okay, okay, it's just a joke." Zhang Wen blinked, glanced at Tang Song, and didn't say anything else.

Qian Lele's figure and appearance are indeed outstanding, with an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, full lips, and long, curvy legs.

Although her skin is not very good due to wind and sun, she is still a youthful and hot beauty.

Especially under the dim lights of the night market, it is an absolute living signboard that attracts customers.

Her business will also be better.

Qian Lele said nervously, "Brother Song, don't misunderstand me."

Tang Song leaned forward slightly, moved closer to her and asked in a low voice: "Le Le, how much is the profit of this bracelet?"

Qian Lele pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "Three dollars and fifty cents. In fact, this kind of thing is very cheap when purchased in bulk."

Tang Song looked into her clear and bright eyes and said gently, "How about this? I'll help you with the sales and we'll split the money 50-50. I happen to have nothing to do tonight, so I'll just make some extra money."

He knew Qian Lele's character, so he cooperated with her in this way.

Hearing this, Qian Lele was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said, "Of course."

"OK! Then wait here for me. I'll go prepare the props and come back soon."

After saying that, Tang Song strode into the crowd and walked forward.

When his figure disappeared, Zhang Wen asked curiously, "Le Le, where is Tang Song doing?"

"Brother Song said he wanted to help me with promotions."

"Uh..." Zhang Wen said with an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing just now."

"It's okay, Sister Wen, Brother Song didn't mean that." Qian Lele shook his head and sat down on the small stool again.

She is a smart person and knows the hidden benefits that beauty brings to her.

For example, when interviewing for a part-time job, her success rate will be much higher than others.

For example, setting up a stall is easier to attract attention.

In life, you will also gain a lot of kindness and goodwill.

Of course, she has her own bottom line and values, and will not use her beauty to make money.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Qian Lele had just sold a pair of bracelets when Tang Song hurried back.

In his hands he held a small stool, a thick coil sketchbook, and a Shine pen.

Put the stool next to Qian Lele.

Tang Song opened the sketchbook, gently held the brush in his right hand, looked up at Qian Lele, and then began to wave the pen quickly.

His expression was serious and focused, and his bright eyes were confident and steady.

The slender pen body seemed to blend into his long and smooth fingers.

The tip of the pen slid lightly across the paper, making a rhythmic "rustling" sound.

Qian Lele and Zhang Wen leaned over to look curiously and were stunned at the same time.

Is this a painting?
The lines flow smoothly on the paper, quickly outlining the outline of the character simply and powerfully.

From the hair on top of the head to the slightly raised chin, and then to the stretched shoulders, with just a few strokes, a vivid character image takes shape.

The two girls gradually became fascinated by it.

As the brushstrokes, whether light or heavy, gradually emerge, details and shadows.

A bright girl with a high ponytail and a polo shirt appeared on the manuscript paper.

Qian Lele stared blankly at the portrait that looked like himself. His mouth opened wider and wider and his face felt a little hot.

I couldn't help but secretly glance at Tang Song's stern profile.

She has a high nose bridge, thin and stylish lips, and her eyes are focused and bright.

Her vision was dazed for a moment, and she felt that Tang Song seemed to be glowing at this moment.

As expected of Brother Song, he is not only a technical expert, loves learning, but is also multi-talented.

It’s really excellent.

Zhang Wen also moved his gaze away from the manuscript paper and looked at Tang Song.

The whole process took only four or five minutes, and a simple portrait full of verve was created on the spot.

And he didn't just stare at the model and paint bit by bit, it was as if everything was in his mind.

It feels like he is full of artist's temperament at this moment.

Even with his somewhat low-brow outfit, he seemed to be deliberately low-key and restrained. And I didn’t realize before that his hands are really beautiful!
...

"It's done." Tang Song showed a satisfied smile on his face. He tore off the sketch paper and gently placed it on the stall.

"Brother Song...you are..."

Tang Song tilted his head and asked, "Le Le, what do you think of my painting?"

"Very, very good!" Qian Lele looked at the portrait of herself on the stall, her face flushed.

"That's fine." Tang Song smiled and raised his eyebrows, then picked up the white plastic board with the quotation written on it by Qian Lele.

A line of words was added on it: "Buy a bracelet and win a free sketch avatar!!"

Then, Tang Song took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the lucky wheel he had created in the mini program.

There is only one prize, a "sketch portrait", and the chance of winning is 10%.

There are many mini-programs on the market that can create sweepstakes activities, which can be used directly and the effects are quite good.

Watching his series of operations, Qian Lele next to him finally understood what Tang Song meant by "promotion".

It is equivalent to using her bracelet as a lottery prop, and what is actually being sold is the "sketch".

Pursing his lips, Qian Lele pulled Tang Song's arm and whispered, "Brother Song, you will suffer a great loss if you say this."

She has also seen people setting up stalls on the streets to draw sketches. Their skills are far inferior to Tang and Song's, but they can still earn dozens of yuan each time.

I'm afraid many people will keep buying bracelets until they win the prize just for the chance to sketch.

Tang Song looked up and smiled at her, "Le Le, I am only responsible for painting, and you will be responsible for publicity, sales and trading. We have a clear division of labor, each doing our own job, and the profits are distributed fairly."

Their eyes met and Qian Lele pursed her lips.

After a moment of silence, he finally nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Song."

Taking a deep breath, Qian Lele stood up and began to sell enthusiastically.

...

"This portrait is so pretty! It would be great for a headshot!"

"Miss! Miss! Is the sketch you are talking about really of this level?"

"Of course! We will definitely guarantee the quality and quantity. Our handsome painters will paint on the spot! Professional level, fast results!"

"Okay, I'll buy two first and see if I can win. These two, 10 yuan, right? I'll pass it on."

"What a pity, I missed! Give me two more!"

...

"Wow! I won, I won the prize!"

"Just a quick look?"

"It's healed so quickly? Let me see, let me see!"

"Wow! Thank you, boss, thank you, God! It's so beautiful!"

...

In the following time, more and more people gathered in front of this ordinary bracelet stall.

As each sketch full of artistic spirit came out, the crowd exclaimed in amazement.

Everyone sighed and wondered, is everything so inward-looking now?

In order to sell a bracelet worth 5 yuan, such an awesome sketching master squatted on a small stool to draw a portrait for the customer.

Many people held up their mobile phones to take pictures of Tang and Song's live creation.

Share on social platforms such as WeChat Moments and TikTok.

Zhang Wen, who was selling grilled sausages nearby, also made a fortune from this, and his business reached its highest peak ever.

When I thought about what I had said to Tang Song before, my face felt hot.

I also felt the power of "dimensionality reduction attack" for the first time.

If she had this kind of skill, or had such an awesome friend, she could make a fortune even by selling sausages.

For a moment, there was some envy in the look towards Qian Lele.

We have known each other for more than a year, and Qian Lele actually has a lot of suitors.

You can often see sunny and handsome boys in school running over to chat with her.

Now a talented and beautiful colleague has appeared and is so nice to her. She is so happy.

……

A prompt sounded in my ears: "Ding! [Wild Monster - Piggy Bank] was defeated!"

Tang Song raised his head and looked at the piggy bank floating above Qian Lele's head.

[Piggy Bank (Random Wild Monster): Remaining Capacity 0]

Soon after, cracks appeared on the piggy bank.

With the sound of "clang", the golden coins inside exploded.

Like blooming fireworks, gorgeous and beautiful.

The system light curtain reappeared.

[You have obtained the special item "Magic Piggy Bank"]

[Magic Piggy Bank]: When the player is in a dungeon environment and playing a role, the piggy bank will continue to receive cash injections. After the dungeon is cleared, the money in the piggy bank will be withdrawn.

[Note: The amount of cash injected is related to the player’s performance]

After reading the introduction of the props, Tang Song's mouth curled up.

It turned out to be a cash reward item.

It is very common to find gold coins explode in dungeons, and the amount is not small.

I am now in a dungeon environment, my self-media has been temporarily put on hold, and I was originally worrying about how to save cash.

Now that he has this prop, his little trouble has been solved.

It looks like [Whisper of Humanity] in the mall will be available soon!
I looked at Qian Lele’s stall and handbag, and found that there were not many bracelets left.

There are probably 40 more.

I might as well help my roommate clear out the inventory. This would be a considerable income for her.

...

9:30pm.

All the bracelets were sold out, and the crowd gathered around them complained a few words before gradually dispersing.

Tang Song put away the paper and pen, stood up and said with a smile: "Can we close the stall early today?"

"Yeah! It's time to get off work!" Qian Lele's face flushed.

All the more than 150 bracelets we brought were sold out.

Because the payment code was hers, the dense amount of payment information on her mobile phone made her excited.

"Brother Song, can you give me this painting?" Qian Lele carefully picked up his sketch with hope in his eyes.

"Take it, it's originally given to you."

"Thank you, Brother Song!"

After putting away his things, he said goodbye to Zhang Wen.

The two walked side by side towards the teachers' apartment of the Normal University.

At this time, and on a weekday, there were fewer people on the pedestrian street, and it seemed a bit quiet.

When they were about to walk out of the street, Qian Lele suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Song, wait a moment, I'm going to buy something."

"Well, let's go."

Qian Lele trotted to a small stall.

I haggled over the price with the boss for a long time and finally bought some fried chicken nuggets for 40 yuan.

"I've bought it! I'll treat you to fried chicken tonight!" Qian Lele raised the plastic bag in his hand, like a hunter who returned with a full load, with a satisfied and happy smile on his face.

In addition to spicy strips, she also loves fried chicken.

However, since the price is relatively expensive, I will only buy a little when I am really greedy, about once every two months.

Today I am so happy and excited that I just want to indulge myself.

As the two walked into the teacher's apartment, the surroundings gradually became deserted.

The soft moonlight poured down, covering the ground with a layer of silver gauze.

The lights in the buildings create a unique atmosphere under the moonlight.

Quiet, warm and comfortable.

Qian Lele tilted her head slightly and could see Tang Song's curvy profile and tall and upright figure.

His eyes were sparkling and his heart was filled with a different kind of security.

A lively and playful smile appeared on her face, and her steps became particularly brisk.

...

The living room is brightly lit.

Qian Lele poured the fried chicken into a plate and brought it to the dining table.

After thinking about it, he took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator.

When I was playing with Ding Yao before, she treated herself to fried chicken in the dormitory and drank beer.

Although Qian Lele felt that the beer was a bit bitter, it did have a unique flavor when paired with fried chicken.

As for the two cans of beer for Teacher Jiang, I can just buy them at the convenience store later.

The two sat face to face at the dining table.

"Da~" the beer cans collided gently.

Qian Lele shuddered as the cold and slightly bitter wine went down his throat, then picked up a piece of golden and crispy fried chicken and handed it over.

His eyes sparkled as he said, "Try it, it's delicious."

"Thank you." Tang Song took it with a smile and took a bite under Qian Lele's expectant gaze.

He gave a thumbs up and said, "It is indeed fragrant, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious."

Qian Lele smiled with satisfaction and started eating as well.

Chew slowly and carefully.

"Brother Song, I just calculated carefully. We sold a total of 156 bracelets, with a net profit of 546 yuan, and each person can get 273 yuan. Normally, I can sell a maximum of..."

Tang Song was eating fried chicken while looking at this simple and kind female college student.

Her eyes are beautiful, bright and clear.

When she smiles, her eyebrows are raised, and she looks very bright.

Noticing Tang Song's gaze, Qian Lele's face turned red and she lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

"Le Le, have you ever thought about changing your business? Now that the university is on vacation, it's hard to sell this kind of bracelet. There's no audience for it."

Qian Lele raised his head quickly and said seriously: "I know. When I lived in the dormitory before, many things were inconvenient, so I could only sell small items like this. Now that the inventory has been sold, I also plan to change the product. Brother Song, do you have any suggestions?"

Tang Song's eyes flickered, his thoughts raced, and he immediately gave her the most suitable answer.

"Teacher Jiang's apartment has a complete kitchen. It's midsummer now. You can consider making some iced fruit tea or lemonade. Buy a foam insulation box and add some ice packs. The materials are simple and the operation is easy..."

Listening to Tang Song's words, Qian Lele's eyes sparkled.

She has always hoped to have a like-minded friend with whom she could share her joy and sorrow.

When you are confused, you can discuss solutions together.

She felt that Tang Song was such a person.

He is much purer than himself, talented but low-key and introverted, loves learning to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep, and is focused, determined and positive.

When I heard Sister Wen say that it had affected her business, I decided to help myself in another way and show my kindness and warmth.

The aura he exudes is distinct and strong, infecting the people around him all the time.

It is a great happiness to be friends with such people.

I really hope to be friends with him forever! Let's eat fried chicken and drink beer together!
