Chapter 564: Why Only 80 Points?!

Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Why Only 80 Points?!

"Miss Jiang, what do you need this time?"

He Pingzhang’s tone was not only patient; it remained quite gentle.

Jiang Li was very pleased.

After all, who wouldn’t like doing business with someone so generous and good-tempered?

She had met him at the auction previously; he was good-looking, with a clean aura and a pleasant face.

Overall, she was quite satisfied.

"I have a fish here that I’d like to exchange for some points. Please send someone to pick it up later, thank you, Director."

"Okay."

He Pingzhang was very efficient; just after ten minutes or so, a drone came flying over to collect the items.

After Jiang Li had secured the fish, the drone immediately flew away.

Another ten minutes later, the points she exchanged were deposited into her account.

Not more, not less, exactly 300 points.

Just then, her livestream also started.

"I can’t believe it, Director He really spoils Lili, even exchanging a fish for 300 points."

"Why do I feel like Jiang Li was quite happy when she was making the phone call? Surely her ideal type isn’t someone cut from the same cloth as Director He?"

"You’re not wrong, you’re definitely not wrong, Director He is totally the earthy, fatherly type, successful too—who wouldn’t love that?"

"Here comes Sister Li’s fifth CP!"

Team J quickly received an official notification on their watches and learned that Jiang Li had exchanged one fish for three hundred points; Guo Xing’s eyes nearly popped out.

"That black fish was worth that much?!"

However, what shocked him more came later.

Jiang Li quickly used the points she obtained to buy some flour and vegetables; after lighting a fire by the lake, she surprisingly started making dumplings.

The filling, coated with egg liquid, soon drifted over to them with the morning breeze, and without exception, all four of them swallowed their saliva.

Then looking back at the wild vegetable soup in front of them, their appetite vanished.

Guo Xing nearly went mad.

"Man, I thought we were living comfortably enough, but turns out the bottom-ranked team eats better in one meal than we do in a whole day."

Chen Manman sighed.

Not for anything else, just because... she also wanted to eat dumplings.

Ai Xiaochun was even more pissed, "This is too much; waking us up with running in the morning is one thing, but making dumplings now? Are they doing this on purpose? Let’s see how they manage their next meal."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Manman, "Sister Manman, we can switch camps at eight o’clock. As soon as the time comes, let’s choose to attack and quickly eliminate them!"

Chen Manman pondered for a moment, "How about we sort out our breakfast first?"

Luo Xuan stirred the bland wild vegetable soup in front of him and eventually put his spoon down.

"We still have four more fish in the net, right? Why don’t we also trade one to get something else to eat?"

"Definitely, definitely." Guo Xing nearly raised both hands in agreement, "We should exchange something to make dumplings too. It’s been so long since I’ve had dumplings. Didn’t Team Q just use their fish for that?"

Chen Manman also felt this was feasible. After all, if the fish were gone, they could always catch more. With the other team’s filling aroma wafting here, if she couldn’t eat dumplings today, she would certainly die craving.

"But there’s a problem..." She glanced at everyone and said, "Who knows how to make dumplings?"

Handling lawsuits was a breeze for her, but cooking was a different story.

She could only boil water and cook simple things, making dumplings was still a bit difficult for her.

The two men also shook their heads, from childhood to adulthood they had only been responsible for eating, never cooking.

"Unbelievable, they still want to learn how to eat dumplings even though they can’t make them."

"I hate copycats the most!"

In the end, it was Ai Xiaochun who spoke up, "It’s just a dumpling, right? Just wrap it casually. You guys just prepare the ingredients, I’ll handle the wrapping."

Even Jiang Li could do it, how could she not?

Hearing this, Luo Xuan was also somewhat surprised, "You know how to make dumplings? How come I didn’t know?"

Ai Xiaochun shyly held his hand, "There are many things you don’t know about me. I’ll tell you slowly once we leave the island."

Chen Manman went to contact the show crew’s staff.

However, the person who answered the phone wasn’t the director, but a regular staff member who, upon learning their intention, sent a drone over.

Soon the points were credited.

At the sight of the amount, everyone was stunned.

"Why is it only 80 points???"

"Yeah," Ai Xiaochun also found it strange, "Didn’t Team Q exchange for 300 points?"

Luo Xuan frowned and then picked up his watch, "Maybe the show crew made a mistake, I’ll call and ask."

The call connected quickly, and the staff’s voice sounded somewhat impatient, "Didn’t you get the points?"

"Why only 80, could there be a mistake?"

Staff: "It’s 80, all right. How many points did you expect for just one carp?"

Ai Xiaochun’s dissatisfied voice rang out, "But how did Team Q get 300 points? You can’t be this unfair, can you?"

The staff was silent for a while, as if checking, and after a bit, he said, "They brought in a black fish that weighed 8 pounds. Your carp barely weighs over 3 pounds. How can you compare them? Different sizes, different points of course."

"But the difference shouldn’t be this much, right? Plus, 80 points now can’t even exchange for half an ounce of flour, you guys are really ripping us off."

The staff, hearing this sharp accusation, grew even more impatient.

"The rules are clear, all interpretation rights lie in the hands of the show crew. Originally, we didn’t even need your carp. If you’re not satisfied with the amount, then don’t exchange it; we’ll send the fish back to you."

"No, no, no, we’ll exchange, we’ll exchange," Guo Xing said as he hastily hung up the call.

Ai Xiaochun glared at him, "Guo Xing, what are you doing? It’s clear that the show crew is targeting us, why accommodate them?"

"Listen, you don’t understand," Guo Xing explained, "It’s not worth offending the show crew over one fish. What if they refuse to exchange anything for us in the future? There’s no set price for these things anyway, it was always up to them."

"But..."

"Let it be," Chen Manman sighed, "Fine, let it be 80 points. If needed, I’ll use my own points to get some ingredients. We still have over three thousand points in the team anyway, certainly enough for a meal of dumplings."

Ai Xiaochun fell silent.

The points in their team were distributed fairly; everyone had about 900 points, and up to now, they had always been tight with spending, nobody willing to give up a few extra points.

But since Chen Manman had already volunteered, it wasn’t great for her to say anything more.

So, Chen Manman contributed 200 points to exchange for some dumpling ingredients.

It was clear to anyone with eyes.

"I thought this team was united, turns out they keep a strict account."

"I’ve watched many live streams, seems like Team Q is the most harmonious. Nobody fusses over points, they all just contribute to Jiang Li’s account."

"I remember the director saying it’s a points battle, and in the end, there’s only one prize. No wonder they’re being so petty."
