Chapter 523 The Brilliant Trick

Chapter 523: Chapter 523 The Brilliant Trick

Nian Shutong moved her fingers again, and a breeze brought several seeds, with the Wood Element Spiritual Power manifesting itself. Rose seeds began to grow, climbing incessantly.

A fiery red ocean bloomed in front of the live-stream audience.

[I can smell the flowers.]

[What are those red flowers? They’re so pretty!]

[Red like fire.]

[Look! A butterfly has landed on it.]

At this moment, blue butterflies with wings like flames of stars flitted among the fiery red roses, frolicking up and down.

Gradually, all the butterflies flew up, seemingly ready to leave. Just when everyone thought it was over, they noticed the butterflies had stopped in mid-air.

[It looks like words.]

[They really are words!]

[Happy First Year!]

[Oh my! Is this something I can watch without paying?]

[What kind of sorcery is this? Absolutely brilliant.]

[I feel like I’ve witnessed a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle.]

[So beautiful!]

[Boss is so incredible.]

[Boss, you’re in first place!]

[Really, really, Little River Live is now in first place on the live-stream ranking.]

[Congratulations!]

Nian Shutong glanced at the leaderboard, feeling satisfied; this was much more comfortable.

She clapped her hands, spread her arms, and the butterflies in front vanished, turning into specks of stars and blocking out a patch of the sky.

When that flicker of small flames ended, a silhouette appeared behind.

The figure’s face was unclear, but he pushed a cart filled with food, clearly visible to everyone—it was Nian Shutong’s snack cart.

Besides the snack cart at the center, there was also a familiar clay pot, making everyone start to salivate.

[Could that be Buddha Jumps Wall?]

[I’m not sure, but I really want to jump over the wall now!]

[So many snacks.]

[It’s an old saying, but I must say, people living here must be really fortunate.]

[Not just fortunate, it’s like falling into a nest of happiness.]

"The performance is over, and now we’ll offer everyone a virtual taste of our snacks, along with this full version, or rather, a premium version, of Buddha Jumps Wall."

"Last time you had a basic version, but this time Master Fan personally upgraded it, having started stewing it since yesterday. You can judge the taste for yourselves."

In the camera shot, Nian Shutong’s hands lifted the towel covering the clay pot, releasing an intoxicating aroma that even caused Nian Shutong, who was standing in front of the pot, to be slightly overwhelmed.

"Xiao He, start the virtual tasting for everyone."

"Okay."

Fu Yunhe took over the live-stream, and Nian Shutong moved aside to wait for Fu Yunhe to finish, as their New Year celebration was about to begin.

Many snacks and a pot of the premium Buddha Jumps Wall left viewers thoroughly satisfied, not to mention that today they also got to taste dumplings.

After the virtual session, Fu Yunhe did not end the live-stream but instead said to the audience, "Please look at the button on your screen, there should be a red button with ’grab’ on it now."

"Soon, we will distribute small gift packages, all freshly developed snacks by the boss, and they taste pretty good."

"Get ready, start."

With that command, many people in front of the screen frantically pressed the button, cheering each other on!

Missed the dumplings just now, but must grab them this time!

Previously, everyone got a taste of the virtual dumplings, but not everyone could grab the physical dumplings.

It only took three to four seconds for the results to appear.

"We will ship as quickly as possible. The previous dumplings have already been dispatched, and we estimate that they will reach some of you by midnight at your home."

"May you all have a wonderful day and an even better year, goodbye."

Fu Yunhe ended the broadcast.

"Time to eat!"

Ms. Nian Shutong had been waiting for this moment!

She called out loudly and immediately received everyone’s response.

"Time to eat!"

"Time to eat!"

Everyone gathered around the table, and Master Fan joined them today, making the table lively and crowded.

Ms. Nian Shutong raised her glass and said to everyone, "In the new year, we will all get better and better, cheers."

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank up.

"Okay, let’s eat!"

After Ms. Nian Shutong took the first pick with her chopsticks, everyone started to eat.

"This Buddha Jumps Wall is so delicious!"

"This meat is also tasty."

"Everything is delicious."

Watching everyone enjoy their meal brought joy to Master Fan.

The New Year’s meal consisted of sixteen dishes prepared by Master Fan, each with a generous portion, with dumplings as the main dish, as per the Boss’s decision.

After everyone finished the dumplings, it was almost 10 PM. Nobody went to sleep; instead, they all waited for midnight to greet the new year.

A group of people sat on the mountaintop, with Ms. Nian Shutong in the middle, surrounded by others.

She took out a number of red envelopes and handed one to each person.

"Keep it safe, they say sleeping with a red envelope tonight will bring a prosperous new year."

"This is called ’lucky money.’"

Everyone received a red envelope from Ms. Nian Shutong and thanked her.

"Thank you, Auntie. Dou Dou also has a gift for Auntie."

Dou Dou secured her own red envelope and pulled something out of her little pocket, her eyes full of hope, and handed it to Ms. Nian Shutong.

Ms. Nian Shutong patted Dou Dou’s head and said, "Auntie likes it."

Dou Dou gave her a heart-shaped stone, which he had painted beautifully.

Hearing Ms. Nian Shutong’s words, Dou Dou giggled, happy that Auntie liked it.

This gift was just the beginning; others had also prepared gifts. Ji Sisi made a pen out of some small parts for Ms. Nian Shutong, which also doubled as a multifunctional weapon.

"Thank you, I love it."

Ji Sisi smiled shyly and said, "Mr. Nian is pleased, that’s good. Your care over the past six months has allowed Dou Dou and me to live so comfortably. Thank you."

As Ji Sisi spoke, she stood up and gave Ms. Nian Shutong a deep bow.

Ms. Nian Shutong did not stop her, feeling she deserved this respect.

Next, Master Fan gave a super delicate pastry, only four pieces in a box, so exquisite that Ms. Nian Shutong felt guilty even eating it.

Elder Hua gave a set of teaching materials he had compiled himself, handing them to Ms. Nian Shutong and saying, "Blue Star will always have more children."

"You’re right."

Ms. Nian Shutong took them solemnly; Elder Hua was truly a real educator who thought and walked far for the sake of education.

Finally, it was just Rubble, Ha Ha, and Fu Yunhe left.

Rubble simply looked at Ms. Nian Shutong questioningly and asked, "Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble didn’t know about needing to give gifts."

"But Rubble feels that since Rubble’s services are for Ms. Nian Shutong, everything Rubble owns belongs to Ms. Nian Shutong, so Rubble doesn’t need to give anything."

Ms. Nian Shutong listened to Rubble’s reasoning, found nothing wrong with it, and then turned to look at Ha Ha.
