Capítulo 19: Little Girl [2]
Xia Shishu didn't have too much trouble selling his Talismans after Luo Meng's disturbance. The players around his stall acted as his bodyguard throughout the whole night. He also made a few friends. He had sold at least 40 Talisman to a player named Fairy.
If he wants to be honest, the player was pretty and seemed quite nice. She wasn't overly arrogant, and her features were pretty good too. Although he doesn't know if the pretty lady modified her in-game body when connecting to Second Reality. A 10% change to someone's features can make quite a significant change.
Take Xia Shishu's character for example. Although Xia Shishu didn't make his character too handsome, his character was still stunning. Others might take a second look at him if they pass him on a random sidewalk.
It had just been a few hours in Second Reality, but the sun had already begun to rise. Xia Shishu felt really refreshing. Was it because of the beauty of morning skies that captivates his eyes or was it something else?
In real time, it should almost be 10 PM at night. He had promised that he will play with Ji Anyi, and he really wasn't going to break that promise.
"Sorry, everybody. I'm going to have to stop selling Talismans for today." But before he can do anything, he had to clean up and shoo the customers away.
He managed to earn a total of 3 gold coins and 56,000 yuan by selling the Talismans. It's not a small sum at all. His empty bank account suddenly turned into a fat pig because the exchange ratio of coins to yuan is abnormally high. It was probably due to the fact that coins are scarce in the beginning stages of the game.
When some tycoon players bought Tasliams from him, they were more willing to part with real life money rather than in-game ones. Rich players came to play Second Reality and they just threw real-life cash left and right to advance faster.
And also because Xia Shishu was selling unique items, he received a lot of attention in the Silver Lake Village community, so it's kind of natural that he earned big.
The costumer's gradually disappeared even though they still want to get their hands on the Talismans. They had witnessed countless other customers get targeted by the evil seller Xiao Wugui. Every time someone would try to diss at him, he'll promise a discount to the people around, eventually making those dissers meet a bad ending.

"Mister.. Mister.. I can't make memories with this thing anymore.." someone pulled Xia Shishu's sleeve and spoke to him in an inaudible voice.
Xia Shishu had just finished cleaning up and someone pulled his sleeve. It was a little girl with braided twin tail amber hair who was carrying a small wooden basket with pink flowers in them.
Second Reality's morning sunlight gleamed on the little girl's amber hair, and it made her soft and silky amber hair glow. When Xia Shishu smelled closely, he smelled a fragrance similar to that of the pink flower he had smelled not so long ago.
"Ohh. So it's the little sister from yesterday. You can't make any more memories? Let brother see what's wrong." Xia Shishu responded to her.
The little girl took out the camera and handed it to Xia Shishu.
Just with a quick check, Xia Shishu knew what she means by not being able to make memories. She meant that she couldn't take anymore pictures. The storage space should be fine, but the battery life is a problem.
He had only given her the camera and not the extra battery and the battery charger. Even if he gives her the charger, she probably won't have any way to charge up the battery.
"Stay here and brother will be right back with a working memory maker okay?"
The little girl obediently nodded gently and sat down on the ground. She didn't just sit down on the street though. She carried her basket, went towards a wall, and hugged her legs as she stared at the wall.
Xia Shishu scratched his head. He thought that the girl was a bit silly. He's not going to take that long to switch the battery…
Xia Shishu stored the camera in his inventory, logged out, and went towards his desk to where the extra battery is. He has it planned out. It's going to be quite a hassle, but he's willing to do it. He will charge the battery and switch it with the dead one whenever he sees the little girl.
He made the switch pretty quick and managed to get the camera to work.
When he logged back into Second Reality, he saw that the little girl was still in the same position as expected.
"Little sister here you go. It's working now." Xia Shishu said as he handed the camera to the little girl.
Swift like kitty paws, the little girl snatched the camera out of Xia Shishu's hands. She doesn't even want the memory making item to leave her for even a second, but Xia Shishu was the one that gave it to her, and she also trusts him with it.
"Are you selling pink flowers again today?" Xia Shishu asked. 'What a dutiful girl.' Xia Shishu thought.
He really admires the little girl in a way. She was willing to work for money. In Xia Shishu's eyes, hard-working people should at the very least be rewarded. The little girl was even more hardworking than some homeless people out in the streets.
Most if not all of the homeless people in the street pleads for money, but they're not willing to work for it. They're adults for goodness' sake. Even a little girl is willing to sell picked flowers for profit.
"Brother will buy all of your flowers again today okay? You can go play afterward." Xia Shishu told the little girl. He will reward her for having great working ethics, and he will also let her be a child for this day too. It's killing two birds with one stone.
The little girl shook her head and continued looking towards the wall.
"Eh? You're not willing?" Xia Shishu was taken aback… The little girl is too kind. When a business entrepreneur gets a sale, they should just accept the money…
If the little girl does not wish to sell her flowers to him right now then… Hmmm… Xia Shishu thought for a bit. Can't he just make it so she has to sell it to him?
"Little sister I really want the flowers today. I'm heading to meet my friend girl and I want to give her your beautiful pink flowers." Xia Shishu proposed.
The little girl still shook her head, but she was a bit hesitant.
"I really want to give her your flowers. Help brother out okay? Please! Brother really like this girl okay? How about you come with me to meet her? You can be the one to give her the flowers. She will be very delighted!" Xia Shishu revised his proposal. If something doesn't work, twist your words and make it work!
Back two years ago, he was called the bullshi**** maste-, Ahem.
"Okay." In a soft tone, the little girl answered.
Yes! Xia Shishu screamed inwardly. Hopefully, Ji Anyi plays along with him and just nicely accept the flowers. He doesn't want Ji Anyi to yell at the little girl.
The little girl finally stood up, dusted herself, and prepared to go with Xia Shishu. She accepted because Xia Shishu is making her work harder to get the money today. She didn't just want to accept his money by doing nothing other than giving him the flowers.
In one of her arm, she carried the basket. In the other arm of her's, she turned the camera on and peeked at Xis Shishu through the camera lenses.
Xia Shishu giggled. The little girl is so amusing and pleasing to the eyes.
He turned around and headed towards the Village Chief's house. He doesn't know where it is, but it should be close to the village elder's house, right?
Xia Shishu walked, and the little girl followed suit.

At the Village Elder's residence, the morning birds chirp, and the morning winds blew. Other than Niu Qiqi, everyone is awake. At their front door, Mother Niu was sewing some clothes peacefully, minding her own business.
"Auntie Niu, how are you this morning?" Xia Shishu's voice rung out.
Mother Niu lifted her head up and her eyes brighten. "Master Wugui! Thank you very much for last night! I am doing very well this morning! Our daughter is looking quite healthy too all thanks to you!"
"That's great to hear! Now, This Immortal needs to head to the village chief's residence. Do you happen to know where it is?" Xia Shishu responded with an immortal's tone while the little girl just stared at Xia Shishu through the camera…
It's fine! It's fine! It's a Roleplaying game so it's fine if he Roleplays.
"OHH!! If it isn't Master Wugui! Welcome! Welcome! Come in and have a meal!" The Village Elder's voice appeared from behind them.
"Thank you, but This Immortal must Reject! This Immortal needs to head to the Village Chief's residence." Xia Shishu turned towards the Village Elder and spoke.
"Ahaha If that is so, then follow me. I'll show you the way. It's the very least I can do for my benefactor." The Village elder really wished to help Master Wugui. He thought for a bit and added, "I've also just finished giving some jobs to some otherworlders at the Village Center, so I have time."
"Alright then. Lead the way." Xia Shishu accepted the village elder's offer.
The Village Chief's residence isn't that far away from the Village Elder's place. The Village Chief operates differently from the Village Elder. All the Village Chief needed to do was to sit in his house and wait for the players to ask him for quests.
The Village Chief's residence needed to hold quite a lot of players, so the generated house is three times bigger than the Village Elder's house.
When they arrived at the Village Chief's Residence, Xia Shishu spotted Ji Anyi standing outside. He could tell that it's her right away because her body and face features are the same as the real Ji Anyi! Other than her hair that is. Her hair right now is only down to her shoulders.
"Greetings Anyi." Xia Shishu stopped his group so he can greet Ji Anyi.
"Hi. You are?" Ji Anyi greeted Xia Shishu back and scrutinized the two people behind him. She had received a few quests from the Village Elder before so she knows him.. somewhat. As for the little girl, Ji Anyi doesn't know who she is, but the little girl looks so cuwet!
"I'm Xia Shishu." Xia Shishu laughed. His feature change is really cool. Even his deskmate doesn't know who he is!
"Eh?" Ji Anyi is a little surprise. How did her classmate Xia Shishu get the Village Elder to guide him around the village? Didn't he just begin playing?
The little girl is very smart. She knows that this person was the one that the nice brother was talking about, thus she went towards Ji Anyi and spoke in a low tone, "Miss.. These flowers are for you. The nice brother said that he likes you."
The little girl handed Ji Anyi 10 pink flowers, and Ji Anyi accepted it with a puzzled face and blushed a little. Was this her deskmate's way of confessing? In a VR game? But.. It's kinda nice this way…
'Frick!' Xia Shishu yelled internally. He should've instructed the little girl to not say the last part. Ji Anyi might get the wrong idea!
The Village Elder who was standing at the side didn't let everything go unseen! Does his benefactor like this girl? He secretly promised himself that if his benefactor gets the girl to be his girlfriend before he leaves, he will reward the duo with a couple ring he has at hand!
[Ding! You have received a quest: Become a couple with player Anyi. (Difficulty Type: Unique)]
Xia Shishu was already having a hard time thinking about ways to get rid of the misunderstanding the little girl might've created. What the heck is with the sudden quest appearance!?
A notification appeared in front of Xia Shishu and quickly briefed him about the quest's specifics.
[Become a couple with player Anyi] [(Difficulty Type: Unique) Quest Description: As the benefactor of the Village Elder, you are granted a special quest. Become a couple with Player Anyi by confessing your love to her. If she accepts your confession, her affection level will be saved by the system. Once the affection level falls below a certain level, the quest rewards will be rendered useless until her affection level rises again. Rewards: Silver Lake Village Couple Rings. Progress: Player Anyi's Acceptance (N/A) ]
Xia Shishu's mind was blown. What the f*ck! Is this a dating simulator he's playing!?
