Scientific Travel

Half an hour ago.

Seeing Feifei take Qiu Qingyu away, Gao Ruizhe gave him an approving look.

Today is a good opportunity, especially since Qiu Qingyu is not here. Let's try to take down Deng Yin in one fell swoop!

There were many people coming to see the lantern festival, and Gao Ruizhe stayed close to Deng Yin, afraid that he might lose her again if he wasn't careful.

This was Deng Yin's first time at the lantern festival. Everything was new and exciting to her, and she wanted to buy something of everything.

Almost everyone who comes to the lantern festival carries a lantern, and each lantern has a different pattern, with each pattern having a different effect.

For example, lanterns with mandarin duck patterns represent attracting romantic relationships. Lanterns that resemble gold coins represent attracting wealth.

I don't know if it's because prices were soaring recently, but almost everyone carrying a lantern was carrying a gold coin lantern.

Deng Yin didn't believe in any of this, and she didn't have any ideas. Instead of buying lanterns, she bought a bunch of delicious food.

Deng Yin and Gao Ruizhe ate their way through the journey until they were completely stuffed. But since they knew they wouldn't be able to buy anything else until next year, they decided to buy a whole bunch and let Gao Ruizhe carry them all.

When Deng Yin comes across something particularly delicious, he'll buy extra and secretly slip it into his spatial storage when no one's looking.

With so many people around, no one could possibly notice if something disappeared from someone's hands.

Only Gao Ruizhe would discover this.

Deng Yin's explanation was that he lost it in the crowd. Gao Ruizhe had no doubts; many people lose things at the lantern festival, so it was normal for Deng Yin to lose something as well.

After that, he always paid for everything that was bought, and never let Deng Yin touch anything.

Later on, whenever Deng Yin saw something she liked to eat, it would appear in her space in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, the money will appear in the boss's cash box.

Deng Yin didn't know the price of some things, so he simply gave them away randomly.

The consequence of giving money arbitrarily was that Deng Yin gave at least twice as much money.

Gao Ruizhe had no idea what Deng Yin had done; he was focused entirely on keeping a close eye on Deng Yin.

It was already difficult enough to keep up with her, and now she was carrying so many things. Gao Ruizhe was afraid of losing them and running into other people, making the journey extremely difficult.

Seeing how hard he was working, Deng Yin offered to take the load himself.

But Gao Ruizhe refused.

How can you let the girl you like carry your things?

Besides, if we let her take it, there won't even be a paper bag left when we get home.

Deng Yin then took him to Yulou, the shop that sells things at extremely high prices but offers excellent service.

The Jade Pavilion is filled with a festive atmosphere just by looking at the outside. Inside, there are many new items, and according to the description above, these are all limited editions for the Lunar New Year.

Deng Yin simply bought every single limited edition item.

Since it's a limited edition, it's definitely better than regular items.

This was Deng Yin's idea, although she didn't see what was good about limiting it.

If I had to find a benefit...

That is, the price is good.

Any limited edition item is several times more expensive than other products.

Even during the Lunar New Year holiday, when there were several times more customers than usual, the store remained orderly, and there was no word of refusal to deliver to homes.

Now the two of them were empty-handed. Gao Ruizhe was a regular at the lantern festival and knew what was most fun, so he pulled Deng Yin along, rushing from one place to another.

Step 1: Guessing lantern riddles.

Deng Yin is very intelligent, otherwise she wouldn't have become a scientist, but that doesn't mean she can solve riddles.

The answers to these riddles are nothing more than food, words, or animals.

Deng Yin is not a local, and she still can't write the local characters. To be precise, she doesn't recognize any local characters at all. She knows at most two characters from the entire riddle.

As for food and animals, she had eaten a lot of food, but couldn't remember the names, and had never asked the names when buying food. As for animals, she had only ever seen fish.

In her eyes, fish are not distinguished by species, but only by color and size, such as large blackfish and small goldfish. But locals do.

There are no animals on Heze Star, but there is information on animals that have long been extinct. Deng Yin was not interested in this and only glanced at it a few times.

I'd heard of a few, but who knew the local animals had different names from those extinct ones!

no the same!!!!

Honestly, why do these animals keep changing their names? Can't they just stick to one name?

Although Deng Yin is not good at solving riddles, Gao Ruizhe is extremely good at it; he can solve all ten riddles out of ten.

Just kidding. Gao Ruizhe has been around for so many years that he knows exactly what kind of people girls like. No one can resist someone who can guess all the riddles!

Because of this, he specifically studied riddles, and to ensure that there wouldn't be any riddles he couldn't answer, many of the riddles even originated from him.

If Gao Ruizhe hadn't gone into this line of work, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to have become a top scholar.

The premise is that the top scorer's exam does not test memorization.

As expected, Gao Ruizhe came in first place.

The prize was a rabbit lantern, exquisitely crafted, even with white fluff on it, which was said to be real rabbit fur.

Deng Yin was not interested. She was very competitive, and it was good enough that she didn't throw a tantrum since she didn't come in first place.

Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Gao Ruizhe handed her the rabbit lantern.

"Although first place isn't yours, first place is yours."

Deng Yin sensed the hidden meaning in his words and raised an eyebrow. "Want to have another match?"

Without waiting for Gao Ruizhe's reply, she pulled him toward the pitching game next door.

Gao Ruizhe felt the pull on her sleeve, but did not resist, letting her lead him away.

The rules of the pitching game are simple: you throw only one arrow each time. If it goes into the mouth of the pot, you get two chips; if it goes into the handle, you get one chip; if it lands on the ground, you get no chips. The person with the most chips wins.

Although this was Deng Yin's first time playing this game, it was still no more difficult than guessing riddles.

Two men, each with ten arrows, Deng Yin went first.

It was Deng Yin's first time playing, and he threw the first two arrows to the ground. It wasn't until the third arrow that he managed to get away with it.

By the end of the game, Deng Yin had made five shots into the spout and three shots into the handle, earning a total of 13 chips.

Gao Ruizhe was so captivated by Deng Yin's performance of pitch-pot that he became completely engrossed.

It was obvious that this was her first time playing; she missed the first two times, but after the third arrow hit the ground, she never threw it again.

He didn't come to his senses until Deng pushed him after he finished throwing the ball.

In comparison, Gao Ruizhe was much more skilled, hitting the mouth of the pot with his first three arrows.

Before throwing the fourth arrow, Gao Ruizhe turned to look at Deng Yin.

The girl was dressed in a red robe, holding a small white rabbit lantern in her hand, her eyes fixed on the arrow in his hand.

The fourth arrow was thrown, but unfortunately, it went a little off course and only hit the handle of the pot.

The fifth arrow went even further astray and simply fell to the ground.

Gao Ruizhe seemed to have suddenly forgotten how to play. Of the next five arrows, his best shot was only hitting the ear of the pot, and he only got ten chips in the end.

In the pitching game, each person has thirty copper coins, and as long as they have ten chips, they can exchange them for prizes.

Deng Yin exchanged thirteen chips for a piece of purple jade cake. Gao Ruizhe exchanged ten chips for a uniquely shaped small stone.

In front of Gao Ruizhe, Deng Yin took a bite out of half a piece of purple jade cake.

"First place isn't yours, first place... isn't yours either!"
