Chapter 320 was worth it.
In front of the blue canopy, the queue, known as the "death line," had already snaked out of the main road, even alarming the security guard who was directing traffic at the school gate.
Jiang Bai was still a little dazed.
Although he knew Jiang Baizhi's pseudonym was popular, he never expected that these top students from Shanghai would be even more unreasonable than the old crew members when they went crazy!
"System, why do I feel like I'm sitting on a volcano?"
Jiang Bai wiped away a non-existent cold sweat from his mind.
"Look at the way these people are looking at me, all green with envy. Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd stuffed a ticket to heaven into this blind box."
[Ding! Host, stop lamenting.]
[Look at that boy in first place, his nose is practically dripping blood onto your QR code! Hurry up and sell it, or I'm afraid the entire school's IQ will plummet.]
Jiang Bai snapped out of his daze and met the gaze of the boy standing at the very front of the stall.
He was a tall, fair-skinned young man.
At this moment, his face, which had originally been quite resolute, was as red as a ripe tomato.
He gripped the corner of the stall table tightly with both hands, his knuckles turning white from the force.
Jiang Bai's heart tightened.
Is this guy so angry from waiting too long that he's ready to smash up the stall?
He quickly gave a very gentle and slightly apologetic smile, his white fox prosthetic ears twitching slightly as he tilted his head, his voice as soft and sweet as a cotton candy:
"I'm so sorry, senior... Did Bai Zhi keep you waiting because she was too slow?"
"puff--!!!"
The once-tough, fair-skinned muscular man felt half his body go limp the moment he heard the word "senior".
He wasn't even aware of how ridiculous he looked; he just mechanically shook his head, his eyes unfocused, and answered as if in a dream:
"No...not long."
"As long as I can see Junior Sister Bai Zhi, I'd wait a hundred years, even if you made me wait in line on the top of Mount Everest, let alone here!"
Jiang Bai: "......"
Good grief, this guy not only lost his brainpower, but he also put all his attribute points into the "sweet talk" skill.
"So... senior, how many blind boxes are you going to buy?"
Jiang Bai pointed to the three heavy boxes behind him.
"One... ten... no!!!"
The boy seemed to suddenly remember something, and he slammed his fist on his chest with a loud "bang," his voice booming like thunder.
"I'll buy them all!! Goddess Baizhi, I'll take all the blind boxes here!"
"It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan, isn't it?"
"My scholarship money for today and my living expenses for the rest of the year are all here!"
"Card payment or QR code?!"
Holy crap!!!
The moment those words were spoken, the team, which had been maintaining a delicate balance, exploded!
"Sun Lao Er, have you no shame?! All on the bill?! Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?!"
"Get lost! I'll stay here even if I have to be perched in a tree, and you think you can take it all on with just a word?"
"Brothers, carry him out and feed him to the car!"
"Goddess! Don't sell to him!"
"He wants all your beautiful photos to himself, we demand fairness!"
Seeing that the dozens of students in the back row had already rolled up their sleeves and were ready to come over and perform a "physical exorcism," Jiang Bai's heart skipped a beat.
If he really takes all the credits, how will my popularity score be calculated?
More importantly, what if this guy actually takes the box away?
Jiang Bai was certain that he would never leave this playground today, and might even be beaten to a pulp and hung on the basketball hoop!
"Um... everyone, please calm down."
Jiang Bai quickly pressed his hands down, his fox ears sticking to his hair in a slightly panicked manner. His pitiful yet righteous and awe-inspiring appearance instantly silenced the noise in the room.
"Senior, I appreciate your kind intentions."
"But... these blind boxes are for all the brothers who support Baizhi and the children in the mountainous areas."
Jiang Bai pursed her red lips and unleashed her ultimate move—[Advanced Acting Skill: A Mother's Compassionate Gaze]:
"To ensure that more brothers can receive Bai Zhi's heartfelt gift, Bai Zhi has decided... a limit of two gifts per person, okay?"
"Okay!! Whatever the goddess says goes!!"
"Two portions are great! Two portions are awesome! The goddess is so kind!"
The boys in the front row cheered and jumped for joy, and some even bowed ninety degrees to Jiang Bai on the spot.
however.
Before Jiang Bai could even catch his breath, an even more piercing scream came from the seemingly endless line behind him:
"Two portions aren't enough!! There are hundreds of people behind us! By the time it's our turn, there probably won't even be a bag left!"
"Limited to one per customer!! I suggest limiting purchases to one per customer!!"
The words fell.
Then I saw the guy further back yelling:
"Not even one serving! I think the limit should be half a serving!"
"I'd donate fifty dollars if I could just touch that cloth bag!!"
One guy, who had given up hope of getting a blind box, even squatted by the stands and went crazy, shouting into the loudspeaker:
"Goddess! Tear the poster up and sell it!"
"Each person gets a small piece, there's enough for everyone!!!"
As Jiang Bai listened to the pleas from the crowd, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
It's one thing to limit purchases to one unit, but why are they selling half-portions?
Some people even demanded that it be torn up and sold?
Are you devils?!
For fifty yuan, I'd actually perform a "poster-tearing" performance art piece on the spot?
[Ding! Host, I suggest you adopt the strictest purchase limit strategy, otherwise I'm worried that the entire school's ambulances will be paralyzed today not because of the sports meet, but because of the rush for blind boxes!]
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, his fox ears twitching violently with his emotions. He spoke again, his voice carrying an irresistible blend of gentleness and domineering power:
"Then... how about one per person, okay?"
Bai Zhi hopes that every brother who comes here today will leave with a smile.
"good--!!!"
The entire venue erupted in cheers, and the tense atmosphere instantly transformed into a large-scale "Thanksgiving" celebration.
immediately.
"Here you go, senior, thank you for your kindness."
Jiang Bai reached out and gently handed a purple cloth bag to the fair-skinned boy at the front of the line.
Senior...hehehe...
Suddenly, the boy looked like he had just run back from the finish line of a 100-meter race, covered in sweat, with a blank stare, and his fingers trembled like a rattle when he took the bag.
The instant his fingertips touched the cloth bag, he felt as if he were struck by an electric current called "angelica," instantly elevating his entire being.
It was as if that wasn't a fifty-yuan blind box, but a ticket to paradise.
"No...you're welcome, you're welcome!"
The boy clutched the fifty-yuan blind box as if it were a priceless family heirloom, chuckling foolishly as he backed away, muttering to himself as if in a dream.
"She talked to me... She said I was her senior... Holy crap, this life is worth living!"
"I'll enshrine this bag when I get home, and nobody's allowed to touch it!"
Seeing the boy's expression as if he was about to "ascend to heaven," Jiang Bai mentally wiped away a non-existent cold sweat.
"Tongzi, look at the way these people are looking at me. I feel like I'm not selling blind boxes, I'm selling 'brain-dead pills'!"
"If I ever get caught and they find out that 'Goddess Bai Zhi' is actually my brother-in-law who picks his toes in his dorm room and can throw a shot put 18 meters with one hand, I reckon these fanatics will tear me to pieces on the spot and feed me to Da Huang!"
Jiang Bai took a deep breath, forcing a smile, and looked at the next person.
The other people at the stalls weren't idle either.
As Jiang Bai sold the blind boxes, Su Ze rapidly clicked on the payment code.
As he watched the numbers on the back end fluctuate wildly, his old face turned as red as a purplish-red.
"Fifty...one hundred...one thousand..."
Su Ze suddenly looked up at Jiang Bai, his eyes burning with the fervor of someone gazing at a golden god of wealth:
"Bai Zhi, this isn't a fundraising event... we're staging a real-life version of 'Crazy Money'!!"
"At this rate, if we have enough blind boxes, our class's donations might be enough to build a Hope Primary School in just three days during the school sports meet!!"
A Hope Primary School can be built in three days?
Jiang Bai chuckled upon hearing this, looking at the students scrambling to buy the items; they were no longer walking banknotes.
The money they paid turned into donations that enabled children to attend school.
One, ten, one hundred!
Of course, there was also his mission reward: one million.
