Chapter 242: She’s a Hack, Deal With It

Yun Xiangxiang was surprised at this change of heart . She crouched down and asked the child, “Are you really giving it to me?”

“En,” the child answered curtly .

“Thank you,” Yun Xiangxiang took it from him and bade him goodbye .

The child kept walking with her, and only left reluctantly when his mother called him back .

“There’s twenty pieces of the jade out there, correct?” Yun Xiangxiang asked the program team .

“That is correct . ”

“What’s the time now?” Yun Xiangxiang asked again .

“It’s eleven o’clock now . ”

“There’s still an hour left, and I already have six pieces now . I’m calling the search off . Let’s go look around town,” Yun Xiangxiang happily called it off .

The old town might be cooperating with them today, but that didn’t change their routine . Shops still operated, and tourists still looked around town . The only thing they couldn’t do was disturb them .

Many of them were also afraid of the camera . They wouldn’t go anywhere near Yun Xiangxiang when they noticed the cameraman behind her . They would just stay far away and snap some photos .

It was a beautiful time of the year . The quaint town embraced the peach blossom’s shower, blessing the place with a quiet serenity .

Yun Xiangxiang went to the lakeside, but noticing the crowd of fishermen there, Yun Xiangxiang left, not wishing to disturb their peace .

She seemed to be moving toward a location . The program team was curious, “Where are you going?”

“To the library,” Yun Xiangxiang knew where she was going . “I’ve heard about it for a while now, so I’m going to take a look there . ”

The town had many scenic spots . As Yun Xiangxiang only had a limited amount of time, she chose the place she wanted to go to the most and was also closet to her .

Just standing outside the library brought Yun Xiangxiang calmness . The building looked as if it sprung out from a history textbook .

As the sun shone upon its roof, it granted a holy shine upon the library .

The administrator was nervous as Yun Xiangxiang’s arrival wasn’t in his plans . The program team went over to talk with him .

Yun Xiangxiang went around the library, glancing through the books . She wasn’t going to read them . She was here just to admire the library itself .

She only left when the program team reminded her that it was time to go back .

She heard the announcements earlier when she was in the library . Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo managed to locate three pieces, while He Xingzhou and Lu Jin had nothing .

While on the way back, Yun Xiangxiang came across an inn-style hotel . Its beautiful architecture caught her attention .

This led her to locate another piece of jade . It was hidden in the lantern hanging in front of the hotel’s door .

“I have to hand it to the program team,” they really know how to hide stuff .

“We don’t really know where they’re hidden either . We just gave them to the guys and asked them to hide them in places that are easily seen,” the crew explained .

For the added realism, they didn’t know where the pieces were hidden either . They only knew the approximate area, and that they wouldn’t have to go into any properties .

“Are you saying that the piece hidden in the eaves was easily seen?” Yun Xiangxiang complained .

“Yeah, you just need to raise your head,” the program team answered . “And you found it anyway . ”

Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t say anything to that .

The program team asked the manager to take the piece down and hand it to Yun Xiangxiang .

The manager was a businessperson through and through . The hotel’s name appeared on camera for the few minutes the lantern beside it was filmed . It was a free advertisement .

“Miss Yun, you should come here and have our famous lava rock barbecue,” the manager recommended .

That piqued her interest . Volcanoes were one of Tengchong City’s specialties . Where there were volcanoes, there would be lava rocks . Those rocks packed some heat and could cook anything just by themselves . Food cooked using it was also imbued a unique taste .

Yun Xiangxiang had made a note about it during her prior research . But she still smiled politely .

The manager then gave her a glass of plum juice, “This is our homemade plum juice . ”

Yun Xiangxiang was getting thirsty . She didn’t even have a drop of water to drink after strolling around for so long . She accepted the offer . “Thank you . ”

She sipped the refreshing, sour-sweet plum juices she walked . Once again, she bumped into Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo on the way back .

“Is that something someone gave you again?” Sun Qiluo’s eyes were glued on Yun Xiangxiang’s plum juice .

Aww, this isn’t fair . How come I didn’t get to have stuff given to me?!

“Don’t be jealous . I’m just too cute, you see,” said Yun Xiangxiang smugly .

Sun Qiluo wasn’t going to be jealous of her . She was too thirsty to do so . She gave Yun Xiangxiang her puppy-eye look . “I want some . ”

“Give me a piece of jade and we have a deal,” Yun Xiangxiang pulled the straw out and opened the lid . There was still half a cup left .

“I refuse . Shen Yitang said the pieces are related to the games after this,” Hou Cang objected .

He couldn’t have the drink anyway . Sun Qiluo was different . She could share a cup with Yun Xiangxiang . They were both girls .

“There’s only fifteen minutes left now . You can have some water after that,” the program team reminded .

“No . I can’t take it anymore . I’m dying here,” Sun Qiluo succumbed to the plum juice’s temptation and gave one of her pieces to Yun Xiangxiang .

Yun Xiangxiang gave her the sour plum juice . Sun Qiluo, who finally had a drink, closed her eyes in enjoyment . She was like a dying fish finally back into the water .

Yun Xiangxiang had enjoyed enough of the juice . She held the piece and made a victory pose at a stunned Hou Cang before walking past him .

The voice of the announcer boomed again, announcing that Lu Jin and He Xingzhou had finally gotten one piece of jade .

Sun Qiluo and Hou Cang found another piece of jade five minutes after parting ways with Yun Xiangxiang .

“Sis sis!” Someone suddenly called out to Yun Xiangxiang . She turned around and saw that it was the child who gave her a piece of jade before .

The child brought another girl along . She also had a piece of jade in her hands . The pair trotted toward Yun Xiangxiang .

“Here, sis . You can have it,” the little girl gave it to Yun Xiangxiang sheepishly .

Yun Xiangxiang bent down and took off the remaining strand of rope . She could make a different wristrope out of it .

The Chinese knot was shaped like a flower and suited young girls best . “You can use it to tie up your hair . ”

“Thank you, sis,” the little girl was over the moon .

“And to you,” Yun Xiangxiang rattled the pieces in her hand .

When they met again, Yun Xiangxiang possessed nine pieces of jade . Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo held three pieces . He Xingzhou and Lu Jin only had one .

“We don’t even have half her pieces even if we combined ours together,” Sun Qiluo looked at Yun Xiangxiang’s jade pieces .

“I’m down on my luck today,” said He Xingzhou flatly .

Shen Yitang held back his laugh as he announced . “Every jade has its own number that corresponds to the ones on the map . Look at the territory you have and have your lunch anywhere in that area . ”

“I’ll be going for some lava rock barbecue,” Yun Xiangxiang announced that she would be going to the hotel she walked past earlier .

“Lava rock barbecue? Come on, let’s see if we have one here!” Sun Qiluo looked at her pieces’ numbers and started looking .

The program team meticulously pointed out all the food and beverage joints within the area . It was easy to see .
