Chapter 1228 488 Game or Business? A "Black Market Merchant" Appears!

Chapter 1228, 488. Game or Trade? A "Black Market Merchant" Appears!
Having acquired all the glow sticks from Xixi's jewelry shop for ten yuan, Xiao Che immediately found an open space and got to work.

There were 101 glow sticks in total. The little car took out a blue one and connected its ends to the slot. In an instant, it turned into a small blue bracelet and was worn on the left wrist.

Just then, Wu Yifan, the principal flutist, happened to pass by and saw Xiao Che squatting next to the cardboard box, busy with something. When she came closer, she saw the blue bracelet on Xiao Che's wrist.

"Sister Linlin, what are you doing? That bracelet is so pretty!"

Without saying a word, Xiao Che took off the blue glow stick bracelet from his wrist and said, "Here, take it!"

Wu Yifan quickly refused, saying that was not what she meant, and how could she possibly accept Linlin's things?

"Thank you, Sister Linlin. Where did you buy it? I'll just go buy one myself."

Xiao Chexin laughed, "This is probably no longer available." Without saying a word, she took apart the glow stick bracelet and put it directly on Wu Yifan's wrist. Then she wrapped the glow stick around her wrist again and inserted the end back into the buckle.

"Wow!"

In the blink of an eye, the bracelet on Xiao Che's wrist underwent a series of transformations and appeared on Wu Yifan's wrist.

"Oh, it's a glow stick!" Wu Yifan realized, raising her wrist to change the bracelet on her hand, and happily thanked her, "Thank you, Sister Linlin! I'll treat you to grilled gluten later!"

"Okay, let's go for a walk together in a bit."

But Xiao Che doesn't have time right now. "Xiao Fan, don't you have anything to sell?"

Wu Yifan shook her head and said regretfully, "I didn't prepare anything when I got home yesterday, so I thought I wouldn't have a chance to come to the flea market today."

The little car had a sudden inspiration and then extended an invitation: "Why don't you help me out?"

Wu Yifan was worried about having nothing to do. She originally wanted to help Qiao Zhizhi sell her paintings, but Qiao Zhizhi and Wang Xiaohu had just made an agreement that neither of them was allowed to find any helpers today, and they would have to rely on their own abilities.

"Sister Linlin, just tell me what you need me to do. Should we move the boxes to the stall now? Where is the stall you chose?"

"Xiao Fan, wait a moment."

The car will definitely need a helper for a while, but she hasn't finished her preparations yet.

Before that, Xiao Che needs to clarify the issue of wages with Xiao Fan.

"Xiao Fan, I'll give you forty yuan as your wages first. We should still have more than two hours left, so let's make it twenty yuan per hour. Finally, depending on the profit, I'll give you another 20% of the profit as a bonus, okay?"

Wu Yifan was stunned. She seemed to understand, but not quite. But there was one thing she had to say: Sister Linlin was amazing.

"Sister Linlin, I don't want any wages, I just want to help you!"

Xiao Che waved his hand: "No, if you want wages, I won't let you help me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yifan said, "Okay! Sister Linlin, just tell me what you want me to do now?"

Xiao Che smiled and took out four brand-new ten-yuan bills from his small wallet. "Take these first. This is your fixed wage for the next two hours. Hurry up!"

"Wow!" Wu Yifan excitedly accepted the money with both hands. This was the first time she had ever earned any wages in her life, although she didn't know what she would do next.

However, she will do her best to do whatever Sister Linlin asks her to do!
"Thank you, Sister Linlin! I will try my best!"

This is a completely new experience for Xiaofan, and she is all geared up and ready!
The little car clapped its hands in satisfaction and took out the remaining glow sticks from the box. "Okay, let's make a circle out of the glow sticks together in a bit. It's very simple, just stick them in."

No demonstration is needed; you'll know how to do it at a glance.

"So many glow sticks!" Wu Yifan immediately understood, squatted down on the spot, and was about to start working. "Sister Linlin, are we going to sell bracelets later? How much are they?"

The little car shook its head: "Let's not rush to do it. Let's sort them first and put the ones with the same color together."

Two minutes later.

Wu Yifan: "There are twenty yellow ones too!"

Little Car: "Great! Twenty of each color. Now let's start making circles."

Wu Yifan: "Okay!"

Little Car: "Two make one."

Wu Yifan had just finished making a small circle when she suddenly asked in confusion, "Sister Linlin, are we making a necklace?"

Xiao Che laughed: "Let's make a circle."

As he spoke, the little car first used two red glow sticks to make a large circle.

At this moment, Wu Yifan still didn't understand what was going on, but as an employee, she just had to do what her boss asked.

In no time, the second child had turned one hundred glow sticks into fifty circles.

Twenty of each of the following colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.

"Check for any loose parts and reinforce each ring."

"Okay, Sister Linlin!"

The car picked up a ring, spun around, looked down, and casually stopped about a meter away. It was quite lucky, hitting a Coca-Cola bottle cap on its first shot.

Then, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. "It feels pretty good."

"Ah!! I understand!"

This scene made Wu Yifan realize something immediately, and she jumped up excitedly: "Sister Linlin, you're going to play ring toss!"

Little Car: "Shh, let's start arranging the items."

Wu Yifan: "I'll do it! I'll do it!"

The idea of ring toss came to Xiao Che when he saw a stall holding a lottery.

Since nothing she has besides her My Little Pony cardholders is selling well, she'll find another way to get people to buy them.

Will anyone refuse a game?

Probably not.

Three yuan for ten rings, three mao per ring isn't unreasonable, is it?

A ring costs 30 cents; if you manage to ring it onto a ballpoint pen priced at 1.5 yuan, you'll make 1.2 yuan.

At this point, no one will complain about how ugly the pen is; as Wang Xiaogou would say, it's the fruit of his labor!
It's a prize I earned through my own hard work!
It's still about taking a small risk for a big reward!

There are five colored circles, meaning five people can play the game at the same time.

Assuming a game lasts five minutes and five people play at the same time, she could theoretically earn fifteen yuan in five minutes!

What if someone gets every single one of the ten circles? That's the key point. It's okay if you don't get a single one of the ten circles in a game, except for My Little Pony card packs.

Can't I just pick one item from the rest?
So everyone should be satisfied. It's like buying a ballpoint pen for three yuan and playing a game for five minutes!

Right or wrong!
That's all I can think of for now. The rest depends on how business goes.

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and a small area for a ring toss game was set up.

Twenty-four small commodities were arranged in four rows with six items per row, spaced at certain intervals.

The cheapest stationery was placed in the first two rows, with small trinkets in the middle, and four My Little Pony card holders mixed in.

"Sister Linlin, shouldn't we put all the My Little Pony card holders in the last row?"

Xiao Che: "That way the card packs will be close together, increasing the probability of someone else winning."

Wu Yifan quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Just then, two boys discovered the place. When they came over, they found out it was a ring toss game and immediately became very interested.

Seeing that a customer had come in, Xiao Che quickly put on the smile he used when greeting customers in the store, "Would you two like to try it? It's a lot of fun."

He casually tossed the ring in his hand, and although he didn't ring anything, the scene still successfully aroused the two boys.

Seeing this, the boy on the left thought to himself, "I can't even get close enough to get it in, watch me!"

Then I asked how much it cost per ring.

The driver enthusiastically explained, "Ten rings for three yuan. If you can't ring any of them, you can choose any prize except a card pack."

The boy on the right, wearing glasses, stared wide-eyed. Ten rings for only three yuan! And if you don't win, you can choose one item to take home.

The pens on the ground look really nice; they're all new!
Then, he said, "Give me twenty rings first!" and pulled out a five-yuan note and a one-yuan note.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yifan excitedly tried to hand over the ring, but the car blocked her way.

"You can only buy ten rings at a time, but you can keep trying after you've finished them."

The bespectacled boy thought to himself, "This is such a hassle. I can't wait any longer. Surely we can buy twenty together?"

Xiao Che: "Of course, no problem, Xiao Fan!"

Wu Yifan: "What color did you choose?"

Boy with glasses: "I'm blue!"

The boy with glasses' companion: "Let me see, I want the yellow one!"

The two who received the rings quickly went behind the white line and started playing.

"so stupid!"

"Look at me!"

"Hahaha, you're not even as good as me!"

"Watch me put your card holder in!"

Seeing that the two boys still had half of the rings left, Xiao Che quietly approached Xiao Fan and whispered a few words to him.

Wu Yifan nodded frantically.

Then Xiao Che handed over all the one-yuan and five-yuan coins in his wallet to Wu Yifan, totaling thirty yuan.

"Make sure to keep things orderly and collect all the money carefully. I'll be right back."

"Okay! Don't worry, Sister Linlin."

Then a few more students were attracted over, and the third and fourth orders were placed.

The little car wasn't enough; carrying the empty cardboard box, she turned back to the flea market behind her. She had to go shopping.

Otherwise, twenty-four small prizes wouldn't last long.

The flea market was packed with people, but there were also stalls that no one paid any attention to.

These stalls are the targets of the small vehicle.
-
Scene 1.

"How much is this pen, classmate?"

"Three pieces, some blue and some black, which one do you want?"

How many do you have in total?

"Thirty pieces. How many do you want? If you have more than five, each one will be 50 cents cheaper."

"One dollar and fifty cents each, I'll take them all."

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you!"

"No need, thank you. I'll just put it in the box. Here's yours forty-five."

“Wow, thank you!”

Scene 2.

How much does this toy car cost?

"twenty!"

"It's so beautiful, is it old?"

"Yes, but it's absolutely intact."

"How much does this little monkey cost?"

"Also twenty."

"Where's the water gun?"

"The big ones are fifteen yuan, the small ones are ten yuan, let's have a bunch, everyone in our class can have one!"

"Okay, I'll wander around some more."

"Don't go, classmate! I'll give you a discount, buy one!"

How much cheaper is the larger one?

"Three pieces, twelve for you, okay?"

"Thirty yuan for two water guns and a small car."

"This is such a huge loss for me!"

"The new cars being sold next door are only fifteen."

“We sell them differently. When my mom bought them for me, they cost thirty yuan each!”

"Then I'll wander around some more."

"Hey, wait a minute, classmate."

A minute later, the driver took out thirty yuan and handed it to him, saying, "Thank you."

"Do you still want the monkey? I'll give it to you at a discount. And this radish knife, I just bought it last week."

"Two items for ten yuan, pay now if you're interested."

"Could you add just a little bit more? I'll have it for you right away on the fifteenth."

"It's just ten yuan, and I'll give you two pens at most."

What kind of pen is it?

The little car took out two pens from the box, and then took out ten yuan.

"Alright, alright, here you go. This monkey is called Bubu."

The car paused for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you."

After finishing a round of shopping, the car sped back to the ring toss base. Ten minutes later, the area was already packed with people.

Five people are playing a game online, including a boy who is wearing glasses for the first time.

There were people cheering and encouraging them, which made everyone playing the game rush to collect My Little Pony card packs.

Only thirteen items remained on the ground; a pack of My Little Pony cards had already been taken.

Xiao Fan was extremely anxious, and when she saw the car return, she rushed over to it.

"Sister Linlin, you're finally back."

Without saying a word, Xiao Che dumped the box he was carrying onto the ground, scattering small items all over the floor with a rustling sound.

"Restocked!" the car announced.

This scene excited the crowd even more, with water guns, toy cars, and plush toys appearing!
However, some students who had already played the game suddenly felt that the rewards they had weren't so appealing anymore.

A boy in the crowd who won a My Little Pony card holder complained, "Why didn't I get these prizes when I played earlier?"

The students in the game were also clamoring to ride toy cars.

Xiao Fan was terrified of this scene; the sudden silence of the crowd made her feel extremely uneasy.

However, the driver looked around and laughed, "We've just opened, so we haven't even set everything up yet."

"If you manage to get the card pack, you can keep it or exchange it for other prizes. Getting two card packs will get you a toy car or a large water gun, and getting one card pack will get you a small water gun. We will keep supplying them, so you can come and exchange items at any time. However, the number of rare prizes is limited, so good luck!"

As soon as Xiao Che finished speaking, this corner of the playground erupted in cheers.

"I want ten laps!"

"I'll do ten more laps!"

"Get in line! I'm in front of you!"

Wu Yifan: "Order! Order! Everyone, please maintain order!"

Another ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and judging from the progress of the scene, it was obvious that Xiao Che's initial idea was too conservative.

A significant number of players can throw all the rings in their hands in less than a minute.

The little car was very satisfied with this scene. "Go, students!" Then, with the money Wu Yifan had given her, it set off again.

Wu Yifan didn't calculate it in detail, but they have earned at least one hundred yuan since they opened.

It had only been less than half an hour.

Before setting off, the car secretly put the little monkey named Bubu into its pocket.
-
The car embarked on another shopping spree.

This time, her target was still the small, deserted stalls.

"Can you make the puzzle cheaper? Eight yuan is too expensive."

"Then how much do you want?"

Two boxes for ten yuan.

"Not for sale."

Of course, not all small sellers will fall for that approach, but the items that Xiaoche has his eye on won't be given up so easily.

"Three boxes of twelve plus a bottle of iced cola. There aren't many iced cola left now."

"This still won't work, add some more."

Just then, Lao Tang and the others suddenly saw the figure of Xiao Che carrying a large box.

Mu Xin asked in confusion, "Has Linlin not found a stall yet?"
-
At the same time, on the other side of the strip market.

Wang Xiaohu sighed as he looked at Qiao Zhizhi's stall across the street. He hadn't made a single sale yet, while Qiao Zhizhi had already sold seven paintings.

It is indeed drawn quite well.

Ugh! So annoying!

"Give me a command!"

Just then, a member of the band ran over, looking excited.

"Choose any book you want!"

Brother Tiger also excitedly stood up from his stall.

What books should I choose?
"There's a ring toss game over there at the command post, lots of people are playing it, let's go check it out!"

"What are you looking at! Can't you see I haven't sold a single book? Can't you buy one? I have black gold in my lucky draw blind box cards!"

"Holy crap! Why didn't you say so sooner, Commander! I'd buy a book as soon as I got back from the ring toss!"

"."

Little Tiger almost coughed up blood. Looking from afar, he could indeed see a group of people gathered around the edge of the playground.

At the same time, he thought angrily: Why didn't I think of that!
