Chapter 98 - 97: Undercutting the Market Price—Classic Move!
CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 97: UNDERCUTTING THE MARKET PRICE—CLASSIC MOVE!
The new episode of "Life Experience" just started streaming not too long ago.
Several hashtags quickly climbed the trending list.
#ElectricBicycle,TricycleTrafficLawsPleaseNotice#, #JiXizhi:AWomanWhoNeverFallsIntoTraps#, #GodlikeBigFoolZhuXiu’an# and a series of other terms nearly crashed Weibo.
Passersby seeing these three hashtags linked together were completely bewildered.
Are these three related?
Click to find out; yes, they are indeed related!
The live stream traffic for "Life Experience" reached a new peak.
Even the traffic official account of Lishui County in C Province reposted this trending topic of "Life Experience".
Specifically commended Ji Xizhi.
C Province Traffic: We hope everyone can be like @Ji Xizhi, remember traffic laws and regulations, cherish life, and protect yourself as well as others!
Fans were moved to tears.
[Ji Xizhi memorizes this fast, is it because I don’t want to? Is it because I can?]
[Memorized! Keeping up with Zhi Zhi’s pace to learn!]
[Burst out laughing, the real Legal Popularizer starts again!]
Another trending topic arose on Weibo.
In the canola fields, the real difficulty started for several guests.
Ji Xizhi indeed uncovered the program team’s big trap, but a new problem followed.
Aside from Guan Fengyan, who has a driver’s license, the other four guests were stranded.
Are they all going to copy Ji Xizhi and do morning runs over there?
The mere thought of it made the guests’ legs tingle.
Sheng Yaoyao, who just felt carsick and wanted to puke, now running several kilometers, isn’t that basically signing her death sentence!
Many fans began to worry about their favorite stars.
Guan Fengyan drove the three-wheeler; he initially didn’t realize this type of tricycle couldn’t carry passengers. He hadn’t used this license much after receiving it and quickly forgot, plus rural areas don’t emphasize this rule much, with too many people riding these tricycles carrying loads of people, so it slipped his mind.
But now, he suddenly remembered.
And there was nothing Guan Fengyan could do.
Director Wang, seeing everyone’s helpless expressions, slowly walked out from the side.
He had his hands behind his back, wearing a genial smile, "The choices just now were merely to give everyone a basic understanding of the traffic regulations in Lishui County. Having learned them is good enough; the actual transportation tools have been prepared by the program team!"
Director Wang pointed to a beautiful red car, provided by a sponsor, parked behind the guests.
"200 labor points to rent once, isn’t this deal favorable! You’re allowed to loan and let me clarify, the interest rate this time absolutely complies with laws and regulations!"
[Pffft hahahaha, feels like a callback to high-interest loans, Director Wang got scared!]
[Laughing to death, Director Wang: Put legal compliance on the public screen! Shut Ji Xizhi’s mouth!]
[!! Shrewd dealer, calling for 200 labor points, Old Wang surely dares to say it!]
[Allow me to announce everyone’s current labor point status: Zhu Xiu’an -40, Zhong Yulu -20, Guan Fengyan 0, Sheng Yaoyao 0, Ji Xizhi 200!]
[??? This is downright exploitation, Director Wang first deducts points, then makes guests take loans to rent cars, admirable!]
Director Wang, after saying this, was the first to look at Ji Xizhi.
After all, this time he set the interest lower, so Ji Xizhi couldn’t find any loopholes.
"Ji Xizhi, do you want to rent it? If split among all four of you, only 50 labor points each, only a quarter of what you need to contribute!"
"Besides, even if you opt for a morning run, what about your luggage? You can’t leave everything here!"
Director Wang raised an eyebrow at her.
Ji Xizhi also glanced at the luggage under the bus.
Indeed, it’s hard to run with suitcases during a morning run.
Ji Xizhi nodded thoughtfully.
She spoke: "No, I don’t need to rent a car, thanks, Director Wang."
With that, Ji Xizhi was the first to pull her suitcase off the bus.
Director Wang: "!"
Suddenly losing his temper!
Let’s see how Ji Xizhi deals with her suitcase! If she’s capable, she’ll carry it on a morning run!
Director Wang stood fuming beside her.
Ji Xizhi had already grabbed her suitcase, taking swift steps to Guan Fengyan.
Ji Xizhi: "Uncle Yan, 10 labor points, can you help transport my suitcase?"
Director Wang: "?"
Other guests: "?"
Ji Xizhi raised her neck slightly, adding: "While agricultural tricycles can’t carry people, they can transport goods. It’s legal!"
The audience seeing this were nearly laughing themselves silly.
[Hahahaha, no problem, don’t carry people, move goods!]
[Lowering the market price, truly clever! Hahaha 10 labor points to solve your trouble, Director Wang bawling in the bathroom next door!]
[Uncle Yan: Earning 10 labor points for free? Excited, excited!]
Upon hearing he could earn labor points for nothing, Guan Fengyan wouldn’t refuse.
He immediately said: "Alright, it’s just moving goods, 5 labor points is enough. We’re not those profit-gouging businesses, just a small local business, thanks for your patronage!"
Guan Fengyan easily joked, pasting the four words ’profit-gouging business’ onto Director Wang’s face.
Zhu Xiu’an now understood, keeping pace with Ji Xizhi, couldn’t go wrong!
He handed over his suitcase, "Uncle Yan, 5 labor points, I’ll rent as well!"
Sheng Yaoyao also smiled, "Me too~"
And she looked at Zhong Yulu beside her, saying with a smile: "Lu Lu, don’t you want to put yours in too, it’s really a great deal!"
Zhong Yulu, who had just lost 20 labor points by choosing the wrong car, wasn’t much bothered by the penalty.
The real annoyance came from Ji Xizhi.
She had offered to pick up Ji Xizhi in good faith, but Ji Xizhi turned around to bite her, talking about laws and regulations. Even if the program genuinely played her, she’d rather the program tell her than Ji Xizhi.
Zhong Yulu’s fingers clenched, then she smiled and responded:
"No thanks, Sister Yaoyao."
Then she looked at Director Wang.
"Director Wang, can I rent this car by myself?"
Director Wang was taken aback, not expecting anyone to rent at this point!
He quickly nodded in agreement: "Sure, of course!
Zhong Yulu, after renting, explained with a smile to the camera.
"Since the program set rewards for first and second arrivals, maybe there’s a new task waiting at the destination! I’ll step in the hole first and take everyone to check it out!"
Zhong Yulu’s explanation instantly piqued the live stream viewers’ interest.
[Very likely, Director Wang must have more traps, arriving first surely has benefits!]
[Right, it’s a variety show, it’s more exciting with some playful twists! Avoiding all of the program’s traps would be boring!]
[Lu Lu is the best! Go! Take first place!]
Zhong Yulu chose to rent a car not just for the task.
It was for Sheng Yaoyao.
After loaning, getting the car keys, she turned to Sheng Yaoyao.
"Sister Yaoyao, it’s quite a distance. Why not ride with me, no labor points charged for you!"
Sheng Yaoyao, having recently returned from maternity leave for this experience variety show to reappear in the public eye, indeed couldn’t run several kilometers easily. Hearing Zhong Yulu’s offer, she went along with it, "Alright."
Although Sheng Yaoyao didn’t really hitch for free, she and Zhong Yulu exchanged refusals and still paid 50 labor points as a fare.
Guan Fengyan, carrying the suitcases, had already taken off.
Zhong Yulu and Sheng Yaoyao soon got into the car, ready to set off.
Zhong Yulu glanced at Ji Xizhi and Zhu Xiu’an.
"Aren’t you two really coming along?"
Ji Xizhi looked ahead with calm eyes, "No, thanks."
Zhu Xiu’an initially wanted to agree, but considering his own debts, he looked towards Ji Xizhi.
Steeling himself, he said: "No, I’ll run!"
[Hahaha silly dog finally knows to go with Zhi Zhi!]
[Laughing my ass off, Zhu Xiu’an surely chose wrong this time, there’s no way running will beat this—it’s pointless!]
[Sorry girls, I’m following Lu Lu and Yaoyao, getting a head start on tasks is the way to go, morning runs are boring!]
