Chapter 343: 342. Listless NPC

After visiting five more stores, they still had not figured out why they were failing, and they were nearly exhausted to death.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan was despondently grinding away with the shopkeeper at the Jade Store across the street.

"Boss, please have some mercy. What exactly is the task? I know you have grain seeds!"

"I’ve told you, I’m about to starve to death!"

The Jade Store shopkeeper was even more helpless, as the Program Team had only given this NPC two lines to say. He had repeated the first half countless times; what more could he do?

It was not easy being an NPC this season—

"I know you’re starving, but isn’t hunger linked to grain seeds? You give me the grain seeds, and I’ll grow them for you!"

Wang Zhan felt his logic was sound.

He dared swear on his experience of recording through four seasons, his logic was absolutely flawless!

This scene, witnessed by the trio nearby, made Chen Xin and Zhang Yilin suddenly come to a realization.

"Oh! Experience does come with age. That’s the right idea!"

"That shopkeeper must have grain seeds!"

"Then why doesn’t he announce the task?"

"Yeah, why not?"

Tang Shu had already begun assigning tasks, "Yilin, you go to the bookstore and borrow an ancient book for the scholar, and he should give you two books in return. Then go back to the bookstore and exchange them for a writing brush, ink stick, paper, and inkstone... Chen Xin, you first head to the cloth shop..."

The two of them were completely baffled.

What was this about?

They were about to ask, but when they met Tang Shu’s steady gaze, they involuntarily followed her instructions.

Two minutes later, Tang Shu took a bowl of tofu dessert from Zhang Yilin and stepped into the Jade Store.

***

Ever since hearing the shopkeeper of the Jade Store’s words, Wang Zhan was absolutely certain of his theory.

This person must have grain!

"Boss, are you really not giving out the task?"

He had visited over a dozen stores, and each shopkeeper had said something incomprehensibly odd, but only this store had mentioned something related to food, so he knew this was the right one without a doubt.

The NPC, now drained of the energy to complain, sprawled on a chair inside the store, mumbling continuously.

"I’m hungry."

If these words were three parts scripted by the Program Team, the remaining seven parts were definitely from the heart.

Because he was truly hungry! He hadn’t even had breakfast because of work, and he had run into Wang Zhan, who was particularly taxing on the brain.

This was his idol, but he couldn’t say that... emmmm, it’s so hard to be a professional with a strong work ethic.

At that moment, Tang Shu placed a bowl of tofu dessert in front of the shopkeeper.

"Boss, let’s trade for the grain seeds."

The listless NPC suddenly sprang back to life.

Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, he leapt up from the chair, swiftly took out a package from beneath the counter, and handed it over.

"Here, take a pound of grain seeds, take it!"

Tang Shu received it, and even weighed it in her right hand.

"Thanks."

"Not at all, not at all!"

You are a lifesaver! If this beauty hadn’t come along, who knows how long his idol would have tortured him!

While thankful expressions flew thick and fast on one side, the rest who had witnessed the transaction were left dumbfounded.

Wang Zhan jumped up first, "What’s happening? How are there grain seeds now? What just happened???"

Zhang Yilin had an epiphany, "Oh oh oh, I get it! The shopkeeper said he was hungry, so he must have wanted something to eat, and just a bowl of tofu dessert was enough to swap for grain seeds!"

Chen Xin, reacting swiftly, clamped his hand over the blabbermouth’s mouth, glaring hatefully at his bumbling teammate.

"You idiot, what are you saying? Now everyone knows!"
