NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2 - First Batch Of Goods Have Arrived!
After the announcement, a hint of sadness appeared on Ted’s face.
He glanced at the territory with a nostalgic look, but eventually, he resolutely withdrew his gaze and walked to a horse-drawn carriage that had long been loaded with belongings. He sat with his family on the pile of goods and slowly left the town.
The automatically filming phone provided him with a long shot.
【His acting looked so real, that performance was amazing. This old man is definitely an Oscar winner!】
【Why do I suddenly feel like the anchor really crossed over? 】
【I also think the anchor definitely crossed over. (This comment is worth fifty cents.) 】
【…】
In the live broadcast room, viewers discussed while watching.
[ILoveADog] sent a rocket as a gift! Comment: This is for the acting genius old man.
[LittleWhiteNotWhite] sent a sports car! Comment: Congratulations to the anchor for officially becoming a lord.
In the live broadcast room, more than a dozen viewers started sending gifts.
These viewers had been watching the livestream for the past three days.
Although they felt Richard was acting, his performance was so convincing and entertaining that these viewers found it quite enjoyable.
In the meantime, more people gradually joined the live broadcast room. Some newcomers, unaware of the situation, were confused and asked the anchor what was happening.
【The anchor has crossed over and is live streaming life in another world 】someone replied to the newcomers.
Newcomer: 【What??? 】
After Ted left, Richard began inspecting the town.
“My lord.”
“My lord.”
…
Some residents of the town greeted Richard respectfully as he passed by.
Richard nodded slightly in response.
“The new lord seems much friendlier than Baron Ted. I wonder if he’ll increase taxes.”
“Who knows? Let’s hope he’s not like Ted, only interested in being a money-sucking vampire.”
Some residents of the territory whispered to each other.
While they were discussing, they didn’t realize that the automatically filming phone captured some footage of them.
【I’d give these extras 101 points, not afraid to make them proud with an extra point.】
【Damn, they’re amazing. These extras are a hundred times better than young idols.】
【Quick, look, that girl is so pretty!】
…
The discussions in the live broadcast room continued, and the number of viewers gradually increased. Some people even treated it as a scene from a short drama.
Typically, viewers don’t like those staged performances on social media, but Richard’s livestream looked so natural that it didn’t seem like acting at all. These people found it quite comfortable to watch, even feeling like they were experiencing it firsthand.
If it weren’t for the firm belief that crossing over simply couldn’t happen, viewers might have believed Richard long ago.
After completing a circuit around the small town, Richard realized that it was time.
“My friends, today’s broadcast ends here. See you tomorrow.”
After Richard finished speaking, the live broadcast room fell into darkness.
【Don’t go, anchor! We were just getting into it.】
【It’s so rare to find an unconventional anchor with such stunning looks, but they only stream for one hour a day.】
【I really want to kidnap the anchor and make him stream every day!】
…
Some people in the live broadcast room still wanted more.
After ending the broadcast, Richard found that the first batch of goods he bought from the phone’s online marketplace had arrived.
When shopping on this marketplace, just like before crossing over, Richard used the address from his previous life, although he didn’t know how the system managed to deliver these packages here
The money he was using now wasn’t from the rewards from online friends but from his own bank account.
As a college student who grew up in an orphanage before crossing over, Richard didn’t have much money in his bank account, but he had saved tens of thousands of yuan from part-time jobs during the summer.
The first thing he noticed was that buying things on this online marketplace didn’t have any restrictions. However, Richard found that the shipping fees were extremely expensive, much more expensive than the actual cost of the goods. Additionally, the more he bought on the same day, the higher the shipping fees would be.
Richard bought quite a few items in the first batch.
There were military knives, bows and arrows, food, glass cups, crystal cups, ceramics, and more.
He bought several military knives for outdoor use, and although they were called military knives, their blades were only about ten centimeters long, making them almost the longest knives available on the marketplace. Richard bought ones of better quality, each costing over three hundred.
Then, he bought a training bow and arrows, which cost over six hundred.
He also bought a bulletproof vest, not a military-grade one, for a few hundred.
Richard took his safety quite seriously.
If he could buy guns on this online marketplace, he would definitely get one, but despite the vast array of items available, regulated products like guns were not sold.
In addition to this, Richard also bought a large quantity of potatoes and bread, spending over a thousand yuan on just these items.
The potatoes were intended for large-scale planting by the residents of the territory, while the bread was for paying their wages.
In this world, the currency consists of copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, with an exchange rate of 100 to 1. That is, 100 copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, and 100 silver coins for one gold coin.
On Richard’s territory, ordinary people hardly have any gold coins, and even silver coins are rare.
Richard himself doesn’t possess the currency of this world. However, at this stage, paying wages with food is completely feasible because many people are still worrying about food.
