Chapter 207 Flea Market
Chapter 207 Flea Market
"I made a delicious meal today, including your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. It's a pity you can't have them when you go back to your hometown."
"Going to work every day is so annoying. Everyone else works from 9 to 5, but I work from 5 to 9. I get up earlier and go to bed later than the students. I'm feeling really lethargic."
"Recently, many students have asked me when you're coming to play games with them. Actually, I'd like to ask them the same thing: when are you coming back?"
"You haven't taken me to the pedestrian street yet. Don't forget our promise."
.........
Ning Caicai sends Ye Lan more than a dozen messages every day, ranging from work details to daily life. She has a high desire to share, as if she has to report everything she does first.
However, Ye Lan gave very few replies.
The main problem is that he spends all his time either playing games or on his way to play games, and he has almost no social life.
Even if they occasionally see it, they reply with their thoughts, thinking they have already replied to the message.
There was actually no reply at all.
"Sorry, I was playing a match just now and I only just saw your message."
"I'll take you to the pedestrian street after the New Year. We don't plan to go back to Jiangcheng yet."
Ning Caicai replied, looking aggrieved, "Why can others find time to reply to messages while playing games, but you can't?"
"Let me tell you why."
"Because they're bad at the game, they die while playing, so they have time to reply to messages. But it's different for me; I can't die at all."
Ning Caicai: "That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."
Ye Lan sighed after seeing the message, did not reply, exited the chat interface, and put her phone back in her pocket.
Reply to messages while playing games.
What does this prove?
If Ye Lan's rank is only at the regular King or Diamond level, she can even chat with people while playing games.
But what kind of games did he play?
In matches with a rating of 2000 or higher in the peak tournament, forget about replying to messages; sometimes, even just rubbing your eyes can cause you to miss an opportunity.
Furthermore, as a jungler, even if he dies, he still needs to check the situation in other lanes and confirm his movements after respawning.
Reply message?
Tie Tie, I'll send you an egg!
After briefly explaining the situation to Ning Caicai, Ye Lan ignored what Ning Caicai would say next, put away her phone, and paid no further attention.
The group then arrived at Mingyue Lake.
Mingyue Lake is a circular lake filled with many golden and red carp. Each fish has a round belly, like an angry pufferfish, indicating that it is well-fed.
On both sides of the lake, many students sat on small stools with a square cloth spread out in front of them, on which were placed a variety of miscellaneous items.
Books, pencils, USB flash drives, small jewelry, power strips, induction cookers, phone cases, storage boxes...
In short, you can buy almost anything that college students need on a daily basis here.
However, since it has been used by someone else, the quality cannot be guaranteed.
There may be no problem on the outside, but the kernel may have been faulty for a long time.
Take shampoo and shower gel for example. You can't tell anything wrong with them from the outside, but when you buy them, you find out that they're full of water.
No business is without its share of cunning; these are things that are unavoidable.
It's like when the author was in high school, a friend of his was selling a used phone on a second-hand platform called Xianyu, and he ended up sending the seller a brick instead.
Whether you can buy something you like and that works well on a second-hand platform depends entirely on your luck and the seller's conscience.
Ye Lan looked around and found that they really sold all sorts of things.
There were even white cotton socks worn by a senior student. However, the senior student wasn't particularly attractive, and the socks were a bit yellowish, so they were probably prone to fungal infections.
Ye Lan noticed that Xu Luo seemed to have a strong desire for these things, and his gaze would always involuntarily fall on them.
But reason told him he couldn't buy it!
Especially in this kind of situation!
What a shame!
Compared to Xu Luo, Wang Wenjie, as the eldest brother, was much bolder.
He walked up to a female senior's stall, pointed to the pink bedding, and said:
"Senior, can you sell me your bedding? The blanket on my bed is a bit thin, and the weather has been getting colder lately, so I'm starting to feel the chill."
“My home is a bit far from the school, so I can’t send it here. And if I order online, it won’t be fast enough.”
He even came up with an excuse for himself.
Ye Lan leaned close to Xu Zhiqiang's ear and gently nudged him with her elbow, "Where is his family from? Is it far from Shancheng?"
Xu Zhiqiang rolled his eyes. "Don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is only after the senior. He's a native of Chongqing."
Ye Lan chuckled, but after looking around, she noticed that there were indeed more people at the girls' stalls.
Especially pretty girls.
Every single item was something that the younger students were scrambling to buy.
A moment later, Wang Wenjie walked back dejectedly.
"What, senior, you don't want to sell your bedding to me?" Ye Lan asked with a smile.
“Hmm.” Wang Wenjie nodded. “She saw that I was a boy, so she wanted to wash the bedding before selling it to me, which makes no sense.”
"Without my senior's scent on the bedding, how am I supposed to fall asleep through this long night?"
"Ugh, disgusting."
The four of them simultaneously revealed a look of disdain.
Although Ye Lan didn't have this kind of fetish, he could understand why Wang Wenjie would do that.
As a gamer and a bachelor, it's normal for him to yearn for these things since he rarely gets close to women.
At least for now, my sexual orientation is normal.
Some gamers, after being lonely for a long time, even start dating guys.
That's the most terrifying thing.
Xu Zhiqiang approached a senior student's stall, picked up a USB drive labeled "Study Materials," and inquired:
"Senior, how much is this USB drive?"
"Young man, you really know your stuff! This USB drive is 128GB, completely full of over a hundred videos, over five hundred websites, and over a thousand photos. I'll sell it to you for 300, you're guaranteed to make a profit!"
Xu Zhiqiang stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Three hundred isn't too expensive. I'll buy it."
Xu Zhiqiang was half a head shorter than Ye Lan. Ye Lan put her arm around his shoulder and said with a mischievous grin:
"Zhiqiang, I never knew you were such a closet pervert before, even buying study materials to read!"
In my memory, Xu Zhiqiang was a shy boy who would blush for a long time if he accidentally touched a girl's hand.
Only six months have passed since then.
They've already started buying study materials.
Excellent, this child has a bright future.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Zhiqiang turned his head and said with a serious yet innocent expression:
"I can't live off game editing forever. I'm planning to take the CET-4 and the Computer Level 2 exams, and then I'll also consider upgrading my associate's degree to a bachelor's degree, taking the civil service exam, and taking the postgraduate entrance exam."
“I looked online and found that all these study materials would cost nearly 10,000 yuan. This USB drive is much cheaper, only 300 yuan.”
"By the way, senior, are these videos teaching videos, websites learning websites, and photos past exam papers? Am I right?"
The senior student stood there blankly, unsure whether to shake his head or nod.
The videos are indeed instructional videos, and the website is indeed a learning website, but the photos are definitely not past exam questions.
