"I didn't expect that there are blind boxes in this world! But this kind of thing is an IQ tax!"

Just as Yu Tianlu was thinking this, Yan Yue on the side also asked: "What is this blind box? Is it delicious?"

Yu Tianlu really couldn't stand this good brother, but just when he was about to explain to Yan Yue, Xiang Xiaoyuan spoke first.

"This blind box is more popular in our place. You spend a fixed amount of money to buy a gift box, but you don't know what you will get. If you are lucky and you get something of high value, you will make a lot of money. But if you’re not lucky, the money you paid may be wasted.”

"It turned out to be a trick to defraud money!" Yan Yue's answer was decisive.

"Ayue, how do you know this is a trick?" Yu Tianlu found it strange that his brother's IQ could see so clearly, which he did not expect.

"It's very simple! You can't see anything there. Even if you buy something of high value, what if you don't like it? In my opinion, it's better to buy a few steamed buns."

"Okay! I overestimated you." Yu Tianlu thought to himself, "Ayue is just simple-minded."

However, Xiang Xiaoyuan next to her was happy to discuss it with Yan Yue: "You can't compare it like this. If you sell something of high value, you can sell that thing exclusively to others! Then you can make money?"

"How can that be done? I've already been fooled once, and I can't let others be fooled again. Besides, I'm not good at this kind of luck-based activity. My future depends on my own hands. Fight for it." Yan Yue said seriously.

"Do you have to fight for your future with your own hands?" After hearing Yan Yue's words, Xiang Xiaoyuan's eyes flashed suddenly.

"What's wrong? This is what Xiaolu usually teaches!"

"Did you teach me?" Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the thin young man next to her.

Yu Tianlu nodded and said, "I'll make you laugh."

"No, I think what you said makes sense. Your own destiny must be in your own hands." Xiang Xiaoyuan seemed thoughtful.

"Okay, okay. You two, stop dawdling, it's finally our turn." Yan Yue said impatiently.

Yu Tianlu and others looked forward and saw that a large number of people had been attracted by the blind box activity just now. The long queue in front of the goldfish stall has shortened a lot in an instant, and a few children finally had the opportunity to try their skills in advance.

"It's great. Instead of buying blind boxes to try for luck, I still think fishing for goldfish is more suitable for me." Yan Yue said happily.

"Okay, you three kids, stop chattering. Do you want to catch this goldfish or not?" The owner of the goldfish stall seemed a little impatient.

"Laolaolaolao! How much does a net bag cost, boss?" Yan Yue asked eagerly.

"One gold coin at a time." The boss said casually.

"Why is one gold coin so expensive?" Yan Yue was also shocked.

"There's no way around it. Fishing for goldfish with the 'Power of Elephant' is naturally going to be expensive. Besides, the prizes we exchange for points are very generous. As long as you have the ability, you will definitely make money." The boss said with a smile.

"Xiao Lu, look, it's so expensive. If the three of us fish it out, it will cost three gold coins!" Yan Yue said with great distress.

"It doesn't matter, I have money here. I'll pay for it." Xiang Xiaoyuan said and quickly dug into her pocket.

Unexpectedly, she took out a few times, but nothing came out, and her face turned red.

"I'm sorry, I still keep this wallet with Uncle Yu. Boss, can I do it on credit?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked tentatively.

"I'm sorry, my goldfish stall does not accept credit. If you don't have the money, please get out of the way. The customers behind are still waiting!" The boss obviously lost his patience.

"Isn't it just three gold coins? I'm out." Yu Tianlu took out the money very simply and handed it to the boss, "That's enough!"

The boss looked at the three gold coins and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"That's enough, that's enough. Three kids, please wait a moment! I'll get you a special net bag." The boss said, turning around and walking towards the store.

"Xiao Lu, thank you. When I meet Uncle Yu later, I will definitely ask him to return those three gold coins to you." Xiang Xiaoyuan also said quickly.

"Xiaoyuan, look what you said. Although this is our first meeting, there is no reason to let girls pay for this occasion!" Although Yu Tianlu felt a little heartbroken, he naturally had to hold on in front of Xiang Xiaoyuan.

And he secretly made up his mind: "You are such a profiteer, I will give you a good lesson later."

"Take it! There are three sticks in total and use them well!" The boss also put three small wooden sticks into the hands of the three children.

"Why is it a small wooden stick? Where is the net bag? You are not asking us to use small wooden sticks to spear fish, are you?" Yan Yue also protested.

"Kid, you've probably never played goldfish fishing like this before!" The boss smiled, "My little wooden stick is made of 'petaled wood'."

"It turns out it's made of 'Hua Mu'." Yu Tianlu nodded.

This "chemical wood" is similar to Xitu and Yanjin, and it is also a material that can change its shape through the power of elephantization. Many craftsmen and builders often use this "petrified wood" to make furniture and build houses.

"I don't care if you are a 'chemical tree' or a rotten tree, I want to know how I can catch goldfish with this thing!" Yan Yue complained.

"I can't help you with this. This requires the power of elephant transformation, and you probably don't know how to do it, kid!"

"How is that possible? Xiaolu, it's up to you." Yan Yue also turned around and handed the small stick of transformed wood in his hand to Yu Tianlu's hand.

"I know! Keep it on me."

Taking the wooden stick, Yu Tianlu immediately poured the power of transformation into the stick without saying a word.

In an instant, a huge net bag stretched out from the Conghua wood stick, which was as high as a person.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect this kid's 'power of elephantization' to be so strong!" The audience watching nearby couldn't help but marvel.

"Stop, stop, stop! You kid, who allowed you to make your net bag so big?" Upon seeing this, the goldfish stall owner quit immediately.

You know, with such a big net bag, let alone catching a hundred fish at once. With just one catch, you can catch all the goldfish in the entire pond.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Yan Yue said dissatisfied, "Aren't you fishing based on your ability? Can you still regulate the size of this net bag?"

"I can really do it!" the boss confidently pointed at the sign and said, "I clearly wrote on it that the net bag transformed by the power of elephant cannot exceed the area of ​​a normal net bag."

"Did you write it above? Why didn't I see it?" Yan Yue argued.

"Look carefully!"

The owner of the goldfish stall also pulled a wooden sign, pointed to a line of small words and said: "Did you see it? 'The size of the net bag transformed from wood cannot exceed...'"

"There's only one arrow here!" Xiang Xiaoyuan also frowned.

"Follow the arrow and look again!"

Sure enough, as the boss said, the end point of this crooked arrow was actually nailed to a small goldfish net bag. This size is exactly the same as an ordinary net bag.

"How about it, don't you have anything to say?" The boss smiled proudly.

"You're cruel!" Yan Yue shook his head helplessly.

In the end, Yu Tianlu had no choice but to use the "power of elephantization" to turn the net bag into normal size. After completing two net bags, Yu Tianlu reached out and wanted to help Xiang Xiaoyuan make one too.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Xiaoyuan waved her hand and said, "No, I can do this too."

As soon as she finished speaking, a peach-shaped net bag "grew" from the fossilized wood stick in her hand, which looked very unique.

"Boss, there is no limit to the shape of this net bag, right?" Xiang Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.

"That's not true, as long as the area is less than or equal to the area of ​​an ordinary net bag." The boss replied, "By the way, there is one more thing we have agreed on in advance."

"What else is there!" Yan Yue was already a little impatient.

"The time limit for catching fish is ten minutes!"

"Why is there still a time limit?"

"What if there is no time limit? What if the net bag you made is so strong that you catch all the goldfish in my pond? Also, you can't let the guests behind you wait indefinitely, right?"

"Is it also written on this sign? Why didn't I see it?"

"That's natural!" The boss dropped the notice boards and saw clearly written on the back "Time limit is ten minutes."

"Damn it!" Yan Yue was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't get angry easily.

"Okay, Ayue, don't be impatient! Ten minutes should be enough." Yu Tianlu also advised, "We can show our true skills later."

"That's right, boss, if only the net bag is not broken, we can catch as many goldfish as possible in ten minutes?" Yu Tianlu asked.

"Of course, I value integrity the most in business!" The goldfish stall owner also said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't care about these children at all.

"It's just a few kids, how much more can you catch? Even if you can catch ten, they're not worth a gold coin! I'm sure to make a profit from this business!" The goldfish stall owner was already happy.

"Wow, I didn't expect these kids to have the power of transformation!"

"Especially that girl, I can't change that peach-shaped net bag!"

The spectators nearby also whispered.

"It's true that these three children are not easy, but it only lasts ten minutes. Even if your net bag can hold on for so long, you still don't have enough time!" The owner of the goldfish stall was thinking about it, and he urged, "Three children, you can start. Yet?"

"No problem! We are all ready, the boss can start at any time." Yu Tianlu also made an OK gesture.

"Well, Xiaolu, Ayue, let's have a competition later. How about seeing who can catch the best goldfish?" Xiang Xiaoyuan looked eager to try.

"No problem, but if you lose later, you can't act like a young lady." Yu Tianlu also joked.

"Xiao Lu, how can I act like a young lady?"

"Okay, okay, you three, please be quiet for a moment. The gong will sound in a moment and the game will begin."

As the boss spoke, he also picked up the drumstick and walked to the gong next to him.

As he knocked hard, a huge sound spread throughout the entire venue.

At the same time, the three friends immediately stretched their net bags into the goldfish pond.

The goldfish in this goldfish stall are carefully selected by the boss. Every goldfish is as slippery as a loach. If an ordinary person can pick up one within ten minutes, he is already thankful to God.

So far, the highest record of this goldfish stall is only ten. Therefore, the goldfish stall owner has always believed that this is a sure-profit business.

"It's easy to get three gold coins into the account casually. It's easy to deceive children out of their money. But if they start crying in a hurry, how should I end it?"
