Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Jiang Li Resembles an Early Capitalist

Jiang Yan was still griping when suddenly a fair hand reached out beside him, picking up a few cards and handing them to Director Sun.

“I’ll take these, thank you.”

In an instant, five pairs of eyes stared over in unison.

They had almost forgotten.

There was one person here who truly didn’t have to worry about the good score.

Director Sun chuckled as he took the cards and counted them, “One weeder, a pair of gloves, one hoe, one sun hat, one pair of rubber shoes, a total of 11.5 points.”

Qi Tianyu immediately voiced his envy, “My lord, Jiang Li is so rich.”

Jiang Yan and Wen Jiaojiao were one part envious and itching to the teeth, the other part so frustrated that they clenched their fists.

He Yun maintained her silence, and after Jiang Li had turned and left, she also handed over her chosen items to the director.

“A pair of gloves, one hoe, totaling 1.5 points.”

Director Sun called out, and immediately a staff member took note of it.

[My goodness, the Movie Emperor only exchanged for so few things.]

[Brother is so thrifty, such a low-profile and quiet person you folks insist is uppity, really now.]

[Exactly, just because he doesn’t like to talk means he’s low-profile? When he drove that young lady into depression, why didn’t you all speak up then?]

Seeing this, Qi Tianyu also hurriedly selected the items he needed.

Just like He Yun, he couldn’t bear to take items like sun hats either, but he still couldn’t help but feel the pinch when 1.5 points were deducted.

Wen Jiaojiao and Shu Yan also successively exchanged for items.

One spent 5 points, the other 4 points.

Director Sun looked at the exchanged goods and smacked his lips, “Look, the production team even prepared weeders for you all, yet not a single one of you switched. Now, don’t say I was too harsh.”

Wen Jiaojiao, who had just put on her hat said, “Director Sun, you have the nerve to say that, besides Jiang Li, who among us could afford to swap?”

But with that, Jiang Li’s total score was no longer higher than hers.

Tired as it might be, at least she still had a chance to win first place!

However, five minutes passed, and Jiang Yan still hadn’t made a move.

Director Sun intentionally picked up the loudspeaker to remind him, “Prices will rise in two minutes, those who haven’t exchanged please pay attention.”

But Jiang Yan bypassed him, sneaking up to Jiang Li.

“Hey, can I borrow your tools? I’m your dear brother, your only blood brother, can you bear to see me left without a single point?”

Jiang Li glanced at him, “Sure.”

The straightforward reply made all the pre-prepared coaxing and arguing from Jiang Yan redundant.

“Really?” he asked incredulously once more.

“Of course,” Jiang Li nodded.

[Something seems off about Jiang Li, why is she suddenly being so nice to her brother?]

[I remember now! Wasn’t she chosen to be the Knight last night? She might have drawn Jiang Yan as the King.]

[Very likely! This morning when she made breakfast for Jiang Yan, I sensed something wasn’t right. With her temper, she should’ve left him hungry!]

But just as Jiang Yan was gleefully preparing to take the items from Jiang Li’s hands, her indifferent tone drifted into his ears.

“You can use my things, for 5 points.”

“5 points?! Are you asking for the moon?” Jiang Yan exclaimed in a suppressed voice.

“The tools I bought back for eleven points, giving them to you for five is not excessive,” Jiang Li said. “I’ve looked over this land. It’s wasteland that’s been left untended for a long time. The grass growing here is all Cyperus with extremely developed root systems. If you just use the hoe, it will probably take a whole day to deal with, working under the scorching sun all day, or you can choose the shortcut. Think about it.”

Jiang Yan fell silent.
