You can make your own rules? "
Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to start a conversation.
For some reason, the man seemed to be very wary of her. He was not willing to talk to anyone. It seemed like he would feel uncomfortable even if someone approached him. Lin Sanjiu could imagine that if she did not break the ice first, she would definitely be dismissed with a "I don't know".
Besides, what she wanted to ask wasn't something trivial like "I won't ask if he doesn't want to tell me". She knew that she was not welcome, but she still had to force herself to continue the conversation no matter how awkward it was. The Blank World seemed to be a suitable entry point. Besides, she was indeed interested in the information.
"What do you mean by making your own rules?"
That man pursed his lips tightly, as if even saying that sentence just now was enough to make him regret it. "Don't ask," he said through clenched teeth, "I don't like talking to people. I don't know what you want to ask."
Lin Sanjiu's voice was filled with sincerity, "I'm sure you know more about the Blank World than I do —"
Before she could finish her sentence, the pocket dimension creature lady from stall No. 5 opened her mouth. The man quickly waved his hand, and Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to shut her mouth for the time being. The pocket dimension creature lady said something that did not contain much information, "Take a look around. Everything is in good condition!"
Lin Sanjiu took the opportunity to glance around. Bohemia did not follow them. Instead, she was squatting in front of another stall, looking at something on the ground. Splitting up could indeed improve the efficiency of the search. It seemed that Bohemia was quite smart.
"What's the hint?" the man asked straightforwardly, drawing Lin Sanjiu's attention.
The pocket dimension creature lady answered with a smile. "Which month has 28 days?"
Both of them were stunned for a moment. Then, their eyes quickly swept across the table.
There were a lot of things on the table. There was a pillow for an airplane, a briefcase, a set of stationery, half a bottle of perfume … Lin Sanjiu and the man's eyes locked on the object almost at the same time. However, Lin Sanjiu's agility and speed were not something anyone could match. She stretched her arm out and retracted it at lightning speed. Before the man could stretch his arm halfway, she had already grabbed the book titled "Snow in February".
The moment the book was in her hand, she had a strange feeling. Even though the book was in her hand, she couldn't walk out with it.
Was it because he hadn't really "bought" it?
"Oh, you like this one?" The Dungeon Creature lady greeted him warmly. "Take a look. Tell me when you've decided, and I'll tell you the price."
Lin Sanjiu nodded. She did not reply to Stall Owner Number 5. Instead, she said to the man, "Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you something. Why don't we make a deal? You tell me what I want to know, and I'll give this item to you. "
There were a total of three winning items. Even if she gave up one of them, she and Bohemia would still have two more chances. She could afford it.
Although the man was wary of others, he was not good at hiding his emotions. No matter how tightly he pursed his lips, his eyes, which shone as he watched "Snow in February", betrayed his desire. "You … Are you asking about the characteristics of the Blank World?"
No matter how he broke the ice, it was fine as long as he broke the ice.
"Apart from that question, there is another more important one. I saw you outside just now, "Lin Sanjiu said." You were stuck in the 'Meet an Old Friend' pocket dimension. Why did you say that it was bad luck to be stuck in it? "
The man's expression did not change. He was not surprised by her question at all. Lin Sanjiu even had a feeling that the man already knew what she was going to ask.
"You have the wrong person," he said through gritted teeth. "I am not stuck in any pocket dimension."
He was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of long pants. His body was completely covered. It was almost impossible to find a small ballpoint pen on his body. Lin Sanjiu would never strip someone's clothes to humiliate him. Just as she said, "Wait.", the man turned around and walked away. He did not even want the item.
Subconsciously, Lin Sanjiu wanted to follow him, but when she took a step forward, she was stopped by the book in her hand. She had not paid for the item.
"Do you want this book?" Stall Owner Number 5 smiled. "This kind of suspense puzzle is perfect for killing time on a business trip. It's very interesting. Just flip through a few pages and you'll be lost in it … When you come back to your senses, the plane has already landed."
"So, I have to listen to the background of an item before I pick it up? It sounds quite realistic. "
Lin Sanjiu interrupted the woman's narration with a question, "What's the price of this book?"
Since the man would not be able to leave the pocket dimension even if he left, there was no harm in waiting.
"Stall Owner Number 2, there is an item that must be sold in pairs," the woman from the pocket dimension said. "If you exchange it with me, the book is yours."
One after another, Lin Sanjiu received one notification after another. In other words, before she got the item, she had to put the book back in its original place. No, at least she was one step ahead of the others.
Stall Owner Number 2 was located at the corner of the courtyard, and it was quite a distance away from the other tents. Before Lin Sanjiu walked over, she did not forget that she was not alone. She turned around and called out, "Bohemia!"
Coincidentally, Bohemia had just picked up a hand mirror from the opposite stall. When she heard Lin Sanjiu's voice, she turned around and her arm sank. The hand mirror hit the corner of the table and shattered into pieces.
Even Bohemia herself was stunned. "Can items from the pocket dimension be broken?" She didn't have time to pay attention to Lin Sanjiu and asked the woman from the pocket dimension.
"Wait a minute," the wife of the couple walked to the side of the stall. When she saw Lin Sanjiu, she immediately perked up and asked, "An item that can be broken can't be the real prize of the pocket dimension, right?"
Her voice was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the people around her. Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment. Then, she understood the meaning of the question. "If all the items other than the real prize can be broken, can't we just use the elimination method to find the real prize?"
The woman from the pocket dimension immediately put up her guard when she saw that the wife had walked closer to the table. It seemed that she was about to try the item herself.
"Even though one of the hand mirrors is broken, there are still three prize items in the field," the woman said as she picked up the broken pieces. As she spoke, she picked up the broken pieces and said, "This could be because the hand mirror wasn't the winning item, or it could be because after the mirror broke, I replaced its position with something else. I won't reveal any information about the prize items from this question. Besides … "
She frowned and stared at the people around her. "The broken hand mirror can be considered an accident, so I won't pursue the matter. However, you guys better be careful. If anyone else breaks other items, I will make them pay for it. "
"I've been so busy recently that I didn't even have time to eat. I can't even eat when I'm stressed out. Yesterday, when I left home, I took out a pair of pants that I hadn't worn for a year and a half (mainly because I couldn't fit into it). Oh, I actually put them on … Congratulations! Congratulations!
