Chapter 277 - 256: Randomly Pulling a Champion


Chapter 277: Chapter 256: Randomly Pulling a Champion

A granny was wearing a shirt almost identical to Ji Xizhi’s, even the sunhat was the same, only with slight differences in color and pattern. She quickly grabbed Ji Xizhi and anxiously said:

“Hey, young lady, don’t leave yet. I see you might be here alone? We’re just short of one person here. I see you’re by yourself, why not join our group, and we’ll participate in this… whatever event together!”

The granny’s social skills were maxed out, as she spoke, she dragged Ji Xizhi a little closer to the front of the event.

At the forefront of the event, there were several big prize pictures, showing various prizes participants could win, each enlarged for emphasis.

This was deliberately designed by the university students organizing the event to ensure everyone paid attention to the legal education content. Prizes could only be claimed based on rankings in the legal quiz game.

In fact, except for the first prize supermarket card sponsored by the store owner, the other prizes were not really valuable, but they were free, so getting them was a win.

Grabbing free stuff is what the idle middle-aged and elderly villagers around here love most, and the university students had tapped into the social psychology spot on.

After listening to the legal education lesson, not only did the elderly participants not leave, but they even went up to review the lecture content to secure a high rank in the upcoming game.

The granny dragged Ji Xizhi directly in front of the big prizes and pointed as she said:

“This activity, just by participating you can win a prize. Why are you leaving! First prize can even be exchanged for a supermarket card worth several hundred. Let’s do it together!”

“Even if you don’t win a big prize, didn’t you hear them say it? At the very least, you can still get a whole basket of eggs!”

The granny said excitedly.

[Eggs! The perfect incentive to keep the elderly focused!!!]

[Hahaha, what a bizarre turn of events with Zhi Zhi being dragged into this by a granny. Never in my wildest dreams! A granny calling Zhi Zhi “young lady” has me in stitches~]

[This granny is truly impressive. Randomly grabbing a champion for her three-player team, she’s got quite the eye!]

[But if Ji Xizhi joins, isn’t it kinda unfair? The rest seem to be all elderly folks!]

Fans in Ji Xizhi’s live stream were also thrown off by this ridiculous turn of events.

But looking at the site with the red banner of legal education slogans, there was a moment of familiarity and reasonableness.

[I don’t know why, but looking at this banner makes me think of Ji Xizhi in the future joining team-building activities with intellectuals!]

[I felt the same, I’m so excited watching this! I’ll be a fan of Zhi Zhi forever———(shouting)]

On site, Ji Xizhi also didn’t expect that just passing by to listen to a legal education talk, she would get pulled to join an event team.

The granny who pulled her seemed quite elderly, Ji Xizhi was afraid of hurting her, so she didn’t dare struggle and just followed as the granny led her a bit further forward.

Listening to the granny’s enthusiastic persuasion.

Ji Xizhi couldn’t help but interrupt the granny’s hopes, she proactively said, “Granny, it might not be convenient for me to join the event.”

With a crisp voice, Ji Xizhi declined and slightly pulled down the brim of her hat, revealing a young, blushing face.

The granny holding onto Ji Xizhi then realized she had grabbed a young girl by mistake.

Laughing and crying, the granny said, “Oh dear, why are you dressed like this, young lady! I made a mistake, oops!”

Ji Xizhi pointed to the beach by the sea: “It’s quite sunny over there.”

The granny then understood, seeing as how her own similar attire was top-notch for breathability and sun protection, it wasn’t bad for a young girl to wear it either!

The granny glanced again at Ji Xizhi’s outfit, feeling more fashionable in her own attire.

However, the egg-grabbing event was about to start, and she didn’t have more time to look. Seeing Ji Xizhi couldn’t join, she quickly turned to find others nearby.

The first prize supermarket card was worth five hundred, some joined the game just to get more eggs, while others aimed specifically for that five hundred.

The granny who tried to team with Ji Xizhi was Granny Zheng, who had come over from a somewhat distant village. Only three people came from her village, lacking one for a full team.

But with Granny Zheng’s excellent recruiting skills, a four-person team was quickly formed.

Just as Granny Zheng’s four-person team was complete, the event hadn’t started yet, but a few university students from the organizing team got into an argument with a group of grannies for some reason.

“Why can’t we? You didn’t say anything earlier, didn’t you say anyone could participate?”

“But bringing your grandson isn’t appropriate, your grandson’s mind is too sharp, we can’t compete, you might as well take the five hundred supermarket card directly!”

“If that’s the case, then I’ll call my grandson too, anyway, they didn’t say we couldn’t bring sharp-minded ones!” Chapters first released on novel✦fire.net

“Alright, alright, you’re all so eager, go ahead and find them if you want. My grandson’s a university student, graduated with honors, go ahead and find someone like that!”

In the midst of all this bickering, the university students organizing the event were already at their wit’s end.

A female student tried to persuade: “Granny, this really isn’t allowed, we’re organizing this legal education event for middle-aged and elderly people, technically others shouldn’t participate.”

“Why not? You didn’t say anything earlier. I even had my grandson look, this activity paper doesn’t say we can’t participate, you’re running a fake event if you don’t let us! You university students are just bullying us elderly for not being literate!”

The granny standing at the front, hands on hips, pointed at the two university students and scolded.

The female university student quickly ran out of words and exchanged looks with her peer beside her, deciding to just let it go for now, with a mind towards maintaining peace.

After all, the activity had to go on. With the participants all being senior citizens, it would be troublesome to handle any incidents. They decided to allow them to bring in their recruits, intending to increase the game difficulty to balance it out later.

With this setting a precedent, the other families soon brought their school-educated children, some even called in their primary school-aged grandchildren, simply to compete.

However, the village Granny Zheng belonged to was a bit further, meaning going back to fetch people would conclude the event before they returned, which was impractical. Besides, Granny Sun had just found a partner for her team, making it a full four-person team, so they decided not to swap anyone.

Five or six minutes later, all participating teams were ready, and the event was about to start.
