Eternal Day

Boss Zhong was a silver-haired old man in his early 60s. He wore a simple gray-blue gown, had a chubby waist and a very kind temperament.

If these clothes were taken off, he would look like a neighbor who walked around the street with a birdcage and instructed people to play chess.

He was leaning over a small pool of water behind his house, smoking a mixture of tobacco, honey and oranges. Then he heard the sound of the heavy curtain being lifted.

This was followed by the footsteps of three guests entering.

Boss Zhong held the hookah and hurried forward to greet them with a brilliant smile. “Guests have come. Take a look around.”

Jiang Fang stepped forward and politely said, “Excuse me...”

Before he could finish, Nan Zhou firmly placed an apple on the counter. “Please look at this apple.”

Li Yinhang found that she had miscalculated the number of things in Nan Zhou’s hands.

There was always an apple in Nan Zhou’s warehouse.

Since they met on the bus, there had always been an apple firmly in Nan Zhou’s hands.

Even though it was messy from Nanji Star chewing on it and the bitten places had shrunk and turned yellow, Nan Zhou still put the apple in his warehouse and tried to keep it fresh.

Boss Zhang picked up the apple ravaged by Nanji Star star. He examined it and spoke in Mandarin that was as standard as possible. “This is an apple grown from the seed sold in this store. However, we don’t sell any that are secretly eaten by mice.”

Nan Zhou asked, “How many people have bought it?”

Boss Zhong smiled and his eyes slightly narrowed. “This store has bookkeeping but there are too many apple seeds sold. This guest, can you remember when it was bought?”

Nan Zhou opened his mouth. “Around a year and a half ago.”

Li Yinhang was startled and turned to look at Jiang Fang.

She mouthed: A year and a half ago?

Wasn’t that when Forces of Temptation first came out?

Boss Zhong took a puff of the hookah before squinting to try and recall the past. He looked a lot like a boss in reality.

He said, “That is even more unclear. It was a time when the seeds of my store were doing activities. The ones who could get their hands on the seeds depended on their own good luck.”

Li Yinhang thought about the words and probably understood.

Oh, the novice package.

Forces of Temptation had given away free novice gift packs. They were similar in the broad categories and there was a certain amount of randomness.

The novice gift pack of Forces of Temptation had even made it to the hot search.

Her colleague had bought a game cabin and drew 500 Rust City shopping vouchers, 3000 Paper Gold vouchers, 10 rare snow lotus seeds that could be planted in specific land on Homeland Island, 10 bags of high quality fertilizer, a bow and arrows weapon that could be applied to Ancient City State and a good quality skin.

Li Yinhang had roughly seen it when her colleague posted it to her Moments.

If the apple seeds were used as part of the novice gift pack and distributed in large quantities, it would be unclear which players received it.

***

Nan Zhou left the seed store while holding in the apple and looked disappointed.

Li Yinhang followed him only to abruptly stop.

She stretched out. “Ah, I’m a bit tired.”

She sat down on the stone steps behind her and suggested, “Let’s just take a break here.”

Nan Zhou looked around at the environment. “Okay.”

The scent of wet plants was all around them.

This fresh and natural woody smell made people’s mood relax a lot.

Nanji Star lay on Nan Zhou’s shoulder and wriggled his small butt excitedly. He foolishly aimed at a red dragonfly passing by.
