Chapter 54 Crazy Wednesday (Wednesday)
The roommate was stunned.
Soon, several people realized that what Tang Xinjue said made sense.
In their habitual thinking, the image of a salesman is always associated with door-to-door sales, so they subconsciously assume that the other party needs their "permission" before entering the dormitory.
But what if “salesmen” aren’t needed at all?
Following Tang Xinjue's line of thought, if the salesman was already in the dormitory... the atmosphere suddenly became a little creepy.
Guo Guo quickly grasped his water drop jade pendant, "Could they be able to become invisible? Could they be possessed?"
The elusive wandering spirits in the "Four Seasons Protection Guide" are the representatives of the ability to quietly enter the house and possess and disguise themselves as humans.
The atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became solemn. Liang Jing's hand delivering the ointment froze in the air, her eyes wide open: "Ah, what are you talking about?"
Weren't we talking about the mall salesman? Why did the topic suddenly change to——
Seeing that the dormitory was beginning to develop into a horror dungeon atmosphere, Tang Xin Jue snapped his fingers to bring everyone back to their senses:
"Don't worry about that, Guo Guo, have you forgotten your abilities?"
Guo Guo woke up as if from a dream: "Yes!"
She has the ability to see ghosts, so even if the salesman really sneaks in as a ghost, he will most likely be discovered.
"So, the other party is most likely a physical entity. If that's the case, why can't we detect it..."
As Tang Xin Jue spoke, he turned towards the interior of the dormitory, his eyes scanning the entire space before finally settling on a corner.
"Unless... it is much, much smaller than we thought."
The tables and chairs were moved on the ground, making loud friction sounds.
In dormitory 606, several people quickly searched the entire dormitory, especially the small corners blocked by various facilities.
Liang Jing moved the desk with great effort - she didn't know why, but she inexplicably joined the search team of the four people in the dormitory.
The key point is that she has no idea what she is looking for. She is completely confused and Tang Xinjue’s guess is still replaying in her mind. She still doesn’t quite believe it: It shouldn’t be so bizarre... right?
The girl who had just moved the desk suddenly stopped moving, her pupils contracted and she looked towards the corner.
Liang Jing: "Damn it!!"
Hearing the shout, the others immediately rushed over, their eyes fell on the corner at the same time, and they took a deep breath:
"Damn it!"
In the corner, a palm-sized little man in red clothes was struggling under the table leg, with a red unicorn hat swaying on his head, looking very helpless. He was frightened by the noise of the crowd, and raised his little head, which was no bigger than a thumb, with his eyes like two blank grapes.
When Tang Xin Jue used the toilet plunger to suck it out, the little man in red clothes hugged the rubber head tightly and sat inside. Several people noticed that it had a small colorful backpack on its chest.
Tang Xin Jue put it on the table and said in a gentle voice: "Are you the salesman sent by the mall?"
The little man nodded vigorously and straightened his backpack in front of his chest. He saw a big word "惠" sewn on the cloth.
Everyone: ???
Discounts at your doorstep... The so-called "salesman" turned out to be a puppet? !
The puppet nervously adjusted its hat, revealing its white wooden round head. If it didn't move, you would think it was a doll that just fell off the shelf.
Liang Jing came back to her senses, "So that's how it is, I'll go back first!"
The other "salesman" might be hiding in a corner of their dormitory at this moment. It might not be too late to find him now!
The balcony window was hastily opened and closed. There were still fifteen minutes left in the session. Tang Xin Jue didn't waste time and asked directly, "Since you are a door-to-door salesman who delivers discounts, it should be your task to make deals with customers. So, how can we get [discounts]?"
In other words, how can you get the "super prize"?
The puppet seemed to understand. He nodded and began to imitate: "Ya-ya-ya-ya!"
“…”
Tang Xinjue raised his eyebrows: "You, can't speak human language?"
The puppet nodded, shook his head, and clapped his hands on his head: "Eeyah, eyah!"
“…”
Guo Guo said quietly: "I knew that the game would never stop digging holes."
No wonder the event rules say "Communicate with him for a chance to win a prize". How can you communicate with a salesman who can't even speak human language?
Black Grape stared at the four people in a daze. Pinocchio seemed a little anxious. He slapped his head hard and pointed at his backpack: "Yiyiyiya!"
Tang Xinjue carefully watched the puppet's every move and said, "Although you can't speak, can you understand what we say?"
The puppet nodded: "Yeah."
"Then let's do this. We'll ask you questions and you can give us your feedback. If it's yes, just nod your head. If it's no, just shake your head. Is that okay?"
Mu Tou thought about it and nodded.
"The merchandise is in your backpack, isn't it?"
"Yeah." Yes.
“Can we get the merchandise inside?”
"Yeah." Pinocchio continued to nod.
But soon, it shook its head, bent its legs and squatted down, patted the table in front of it, and then patted itself.
Tang Xin Jue understood: "We have to take out something to exchange with you, and then you will give us the things in the bag?"
"Eh!" Pinocchio clapped his hands.
So they are doing second-hand recycling?
After a brief exchange, the four of them exchanged glances and immediately began to act: they rummaged through a large pile of items, no matter what type, they just had to take them out.
What if, in the salesman’s judgment of value, it is valuable!
Tang Xinjue used a marker to write several symbols on the paper, including a check mark, a cross, and numbers from 1 to 10.
"Mr. Salesman, how many items are in your bag?"
The puppet hesitated for a few seconds, wavering between the numbers 5 and 10.
It seemed that it was not very clear how much goods it had brought.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think the items in your bag are worth?"
The puppet jumped from 1 to 10 and folded his arms mysteriously.
Although no one said anything, Tang Xin Jue could somehow read the meaning: the things it brought were of varying values, and how much they could get depended on the abilities of the four of them.
…
A few minutes later, lipstick, thermos cup, dressing mirror and skin cream were kicked to the ground one after another.
The puppet had his hands behind his back, looking like he was patrolling the streets. When he saw something he didn't like, he shook his head and kicked it away. Soon the table was empty, with all kinds of things scattered all over the floor.
Guo Guo wailed, "This lipstick is my birthday present! I haven't even used it once! It still has the cover film, and it's worth a full four figures!"
The puppet also snorted, clutched the strap of his schoolbag, turned to the corner and refused to communicate.
Obviously, it felt that this dormitory was not sincere in its dealings and always used things it didn't like to fool it.
Everyone was at a loss as they had tried the items bought from the mall, the radio in the dungeon, and various expensive collections they had purchased in the real world, but they were all rejected.
Tang Xin Jue changed the topic: "Then do you think there is anything in this dormitory that you are interested in and think is of good value? You can look for it yourself."
The puppet raised its head, its little eyes revealing an expression of "sudden enlightenment". It immediately sat on the toilet plunger and began to tour the dormitory with the help of Tang Xinjue.
" Yiyi!" After going around a full circle, the little wooden puppet suddenly shouted stop, jumped down and ran to Guo Guo's desk, dragging a book with all his might.
It is Guo Guo's "The Book of Changes".
Seeing this, several people asked tentatively: "Do you think this book can be exchanged for your things?"
The little Pinocchio nodded, then lowered his head happily and was about to open his backpack, but was stopped by Tang Xinjue.
The girl looked gentle and easy to talk to, but her question was faster than a bullet: "How many items can we exchange from you in total?"
The little wooden puppet was stunned for a moment, his mouth pursed into a line, and he moved his body reluctantly and stood on "1".
"If I take your stuff, can I return it and trade it again?"
“…”
The puppet slowly walked to the "cross" position.
Zhang You reacted: "We were almost tricked by it just now!"
The salesman had many items, but he could only exchange one with the students. Once the salesman took out the item and the deal was done, the students could no longer exchange for other items.
If the value of the "Book of Changes" is not high, then they have undoubtedly missed out on a better product.
I didn't expect that this salesman, who doesn't look very smart, is actually very cunning when it comes to cheating people.
The little Pinocchio pointed at the clock and babbled.
There are only five minutes left, should we make the deal or not?
Tang Xin Jue also responded decisively: "Find books, all the books!"
Within a minute, the puppet was almost drowned by a huge pile of books, ranging from classics to street literature, from ancient documents to advanced mathematics teaching aids. Guo Guo even contributed his own private collection of pornographic books, eagerly waiting for the salesman to judge.
Pinocchio struggled to dig out a few books: The Book of Changes, Zhuangzi, Records of the Three Kingdoms, Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government... and a book called Five Hundred Tang and Song Poems.
All of them are related to ancient documents.
Adding all these together, Pinocchio barely gave it a 6.
Zheng Wanqing held a pile of literature and materials and told the puppet: "Look, this is the original English literature I bought online for my thesis. This is the printed material I stayed up all night to review. Look at the curve above, how beautiful it is..."
Unable to bear the annoyance, the other party hurriedly opened his backpack and shook out a black pocket card.
Then, as the countdown for the event reached zero, the Pinocchio puppet and several selected books disappeared into thin air at the same time.
They felt a little disappointed that they couldn't get more benefits, but they immediately turned their attention to the cards.
"This card is..."
Guo Guo stretched out his hand curiously, but before he could touch it, he retracted his hand with a cry of surprise: "Wait, why has it gotten bigger?!"
Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, the "small black card" on the table quickly grew larger. In less than a few seconds, it had expanded dozens of times, and its shape became clearer and clearer.
When it finally stopped changing and stayed quietly on the table, several people opened their eyes wide at the same time:
In front of them is a 32-inch LCD TV that is about 60 cm long and 40 cm wide?
