Chapter 254 : A Plain Little Toy
Chapter 254 - A Plain Little Toy
Without Ye Sheng needing to speak, Gu Luoyu already knew what she wanted to do. Therefore, when Ye Sheng, hanging like a koala, arrived at the amusement park's musical instrument store, the relief from walking invigorated her.
However, the sense of ceremony couldn't be skipped. Ye Sheng raised her hand and patted Gu Luoyu's shoulder. After being put down, she straightened the wrinkles on her clothes and then pushed the door open with a confident stride.
Seeing this, Gu Luoyu couldn't help but smile and shake her head, following closely behind to provide protection.
From the outside, the musical instrument store was well-preserved. Upon entering, the interior was also very tidy. The dark brown decor added a touch of solemnity, and the rows of glass cabinets embedded in the walls displayed countless musical instruments.
The ornate chandelier above was on, casting a soft yellow glow, adding a significant atmosphere to the store.
Wow!
This was the first normal building since entering the amusement park!
Ye Sheng looked around curiously, left and right. But before she could finish examining the instruments on the opposite wall, someone soon emerged from the innermost room to greet the unexpected visitors.
“Beautiful ladies, welcome to Salik's Musical Instrument Store. What kind of instrument are you looking to buy?”
Having seen many strange-looking NPCs from the amusement park during their earlier sweep of the residential areas, Ye Sheng's expression didn't change at all upon seeing the store owner.
At most, she glanced down, not directly looking at the store owner's face.
Sigh!
Another face with octopus-like suction cups and multiple eyes.
Fortunately, the store owner's physique was quite human-like. Dressed in a well-tailored black tailcoat, standing elegantly, everything was fine as long as one didn't look at the face... at least not to the extent of causing nightmares.
Therefore, Ye Sheng didn't want to engage in small talk and got straight to the point: “Boss, I recently found a musical instrument elsewhere that looks very much like the harmonica your store lost.”
“Oh? My amusement god! Did you really find the harmonica, miss? May I take a look?”
“Of course.”
With Gu Luoyu, the ultimate weapon, standing by her side, Ye Sheng wasn't afraid of the store owner trying to cheat her.
She took the harmonica out of her and handed it to the store owner, who immediately exclaimed with excitement, clearly confirming it was indeed the lost harmonica.
After inspecting it, the store owner reluctantly put the harmonica down, pushing it towards Ye Sheng with frog-like toes to show he wouldn't go back on his word.
At the same time, he spoke solemnly: “Miss, would you be willing to return the lost harmonica? Of course, because of your kind deed, which has saved the store from a significant loss, I will offer you a generous reward.”
After the store owner finished speaking, a dialogue box immediately appeared in front of Ye Sheng.
[Return the lost item to the musical instrument store. Task completed. Do you wish to submit the item?]
Submit!!!
Not to mention whether wastelanders still play video games, but Ye Sheng, who grew up in an era of rapid technological advancement, was no stranger to games.
This experience, akin to a real-life game, was quite interesting.
After Ye Sheng chose to submit the task item, the store owner's terrifying face immediately lit up with a bright smile, his many eyes blinking gently, exuding a friendliness that was very different from before.
[Congratulations, lucky one, for receiving the musical instrument store owner's gift. Please choose one of the following three items.]
[ 1. Musical Note Badge (can open a 100-square-meter space)
2. Amusement Park Antidote Upgraded (effect lasts until leaving the amusement park)
3. Twilight Bell (a weapon that can emit sound wave attacks)]
Wow!!!!
Not bad.
Ye Sheng had thought that returning the lost harmonica would only yield an ordinary reward, but it turned out like completing a special task, bringing a bountiful harvest!
Among these three items, each was valuable; none were bad.
Thus, it was quite a dilemma to decide which one to choose...
However, Ye Sheng didn't make the decision alone but discussed it with Gu Luoyu standing beside her. After some deliberation, they finally reached a conclusion.
Choose the Musical Note Badge!
“Kind lady, your choice is excellent. This is a very rare piece from our store, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied... Of course, compared to the lost harmonica, it's still slightly inferior.”
The store owner smiled amiably, then reached under the counter and rummaged around, finally finding a palm-sized box.
Seeing the thick layer of dust on the box, Ye Sheng's mouth twitched, highly suspecting the store owner was talking nonsense!
Fortunately, the item itself had no issues.
[The badge gifted by the amusement park's musical instrument store, as its simple name suggests, has a very ordinary origin, just a plain little toy, with only a 100-square-meter space (note: the space does not preserve freshness, so do not store food~).]
Reading the item description, Ye Sheng raised an eyebrow.
How could a spatial item be ordinary?
Especially...
Ye Sheng couldn't wait. After checking the Musical Note Badge, she immediately hung it on Gu Luoyu's chest, hearing the prompt [Item gifted].
This immediately satisfied Ye Sheng, who nodded in approval, finally able to equip her Ayu!
However, Gu Luoyu was somewhat surprised. During their earlier discussion, it wasn't decided this way; Ye Sheng had thought her own spatial item wasn't enough and wanted to add more.
Facing Gu Luoyu's downward gaze, Ye Sheng justified herself, “What's yours is mine, so it doesn't matter who holds the badge!”
Understanding Ye Sheng's good intentions, Gu Luoyu smiled softly, naturally not wanting to dampen the mood.
She reached out and touched Ye Sheng's black hair, her red eyes gentle, “Thank you, Xiao Sheng.”
This expression of gratitude made Ye Sheng's lips curl up unconsciously, her eyes crinkling. If the store owner wasn't watching from across the counter, she would have already pounced into Gu Luoyu's arms, cooing and cuddling.
Hehe~
Now that the hidden task at the musical instrument store was complete, Ye Sheng didn't plan to waste any more time here but wanted to explore more of the surrounding buildings... As for looting the store?
If Ye Sheng had entertained the idea before entering the store, she had now completely dismissed it.
The reason was simple: amusement park NPCs also had levels, and the store owner before her was clearly high-level... Otherwise, with Gu Luoyu's direct and no-nonsense approach, she would have already taken action.
Therefore, Ye Sheng had to forgo a chance at a free shopping spree, but with the considerable gains she had made, she waved goodbye to the store owner with a light heart.
“Boss, we have other things to attend to. See you next time.”
“Beautiful ladies, I wish you a pleasant day. Be wary of the Nightmare's gaze~”
