Chapter 250 My feelings are incredibly complicated.
As Xia Mo reached out, Huangfu Qian immediately handed over three pieces of cloth.
Xia Moxian took out the tribute, unfolded it, and said, "This is cloth that is 80% cotton and 10% hemp, worth 500 coins a bolt."
She would hand the displayed fabric to others, pass it around for them to see, and then pick up a second piece of fabric and unfold it.
She said, "This is cloth sold in Haozhou Prefecture. It's 50% cotton and 50% hemp, and it costs 300 coins a bolt."
As she unfolded the third piece of cloth, she said, "This is 10% cotton and 90% hemp, and it costs 200 coins a bolt."
The three pieces of cloth were passed to the people present so that they could examine them themselves.
“Although this cloth is only 10% cotton, it still feels smooth to the touch,” the eunuch Gao said, taking the cloth with only 10% cotton and examining it carefully before drawing his conclusion.
"It is indeed as smooth as cotton, but it is only one-tenth cotton, so its softness cannot be compared with the other two."
The three pieces of cloth were passed around to each other, leading to a conclusion.
When they realized they had misunderstood the Xia family's cloth shop, many people blushed with embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood the Xia family head." But some people were unwilling to apologize and simply hid at the back of the crowd.
Yu Niangzi was raised to be someone who would rather suffer herself than let others suffer.
Xia Mo was still imitating Yu Niangzi, so she naturally had to feign gentle forgiveness.
“We are also willing to buy cloth at two hundred coins a bolt. I wonder when the Xia family head can produce this kind of cloth in Haozhou Prefecture as well? We need this kind of cloth too.”
Someone in the crowd immediately suggested it.
Xia Mo nodded with a smile: "Soon."
"That's great! From now on, I won't have to worry about fabric being too expensive to make clothes for my family anymore. That's wonderful..."
Xia Mo nodded repeatedly with a smile, while her divine sense swept towards the light screen in front of the You family head not far away.
The scenery at the end of summer is visible. At this moment, the end of summer represents Lady Yu, whose glory far surpasses that of the head of the You family.
According to the necessary rules governing the plundering of fortune, if the plundered person is in dire straits, their fortune will be lost; conversely, if the plundered person is in good condition, their fortune will be taken back by the plunderer, and the amount taken back depends on the circumstances.
Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian's follow-up move was ruthless!
Xia Mo sold cheap cloth to the whole country at the end of summer. Even if the You family head acquired the technology of the loom, he would not be able to surpass Xia Mo's current achievements. Moreover, Xia Mo also successfully won the royal tribute business.
The live streaming system in front of Patriarch You was constantly and violently beeping, reminding him of its dangers.
Patriarch You's face darkened, turning deathly pale: It's too late...
The live streaming system's screen skipped to the task page, and then the main quest progress bar popped up, dropping directly from 21% to zero.
Main quests have been reset.
Red text kept flashing on the live streaming system screen.
Live Streaming System: Host's mission failed and will be eliminated!
When the head of the You family saw this pop-up notification, he turned pale with fright and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, as if he were wearing only a thin layer of clothing in the cold winter.
Live Streaming System: A warning to the host: Leave the crowd immediately; the system will initiate a self-destruct sequence.
The head of the You family was now so preoccupied with his own impending death that he was no longer thinking about evacuation.
The live streaming system displayed two pop-up notification boxes repeatedly.
Xia Mo was somewhat surprised and jumped directly into Huangfu Qian's arms.
Huangfu Qian reached out and took Xia Mo into his arms.
Xia Mo decisively shared the divine sense he had used to detect the You family head with Huangfu Qian.
The live streaming system kept popping up notifications, repeatedly displaying the same two sentences: "Host mission failed, will be eliminated!"
The system warns the host to leave the crowd quickly, as it will initiate a self-destruct sequence.
Huangfu Qian and Xia Mo, however, discerned another meaning from the two prompts displayed by the live streaming system.
The live-streaming system in the head of the You family was still subconsciously protecting people, afraid of implicating those present!
The live streaming system in the mind of the You family head was completely different from the one that Xia Mo and the others had encountered before.
Xia Mo noticed that the live streaming system in the You family head's mind clearly still had enough energy to send a signal to the main brain to tell it that something was wrong, but... the live streaming system in the You family head's mind didn't do that!
Xia Mo tugged at Huangfu Qian's sleeve, her lips moving almost silently as she asked: Should we save him?
This "rescue" doesn't refer to asking the You family head for help, but rather to the live-streaming system in the You family head's mind.
Huangfu Qian frowned, bent down, and asked softly, "Will it harm you?"
“No,” Xia Mo replied crisply.
“Save me,” Huangfu Qian replied.
Xia Mo immediately focused a large amount of divine sense into the brain of the You family head, covering the live broadcast system attached to the You family head's brain.
The self-destruction of the live streaming system shows no signs of stopping.
Xia Mo didn't understand why the live streaming systems she had encountered before didn't have the self-destruct capability, but this live streaming system did.
This is probably related to the fact that the live-streaming system in the mind of the You family head still retains some humanity.
Completely isolating the signal was useless, so Xia Mo simply invaded the system's interior with her divine sense to interfere with the live broadcast system's internal operations.
Her divine consciousness from another world was not wasted; she successfully used it to prevent the live-streaming system from self-destructing.
The live streaming system stopped self-destructing, but it kept reminding Patriarch You that the mission progress had been reset to zero.
With a thought, Xia Mo directly absorbed the live-streaming system in the mind of the You family head into her soul space.
The live streaming system still had plenty of energy. It was imprisoned in the soul space by Xia Mo, but like the energyless fake spider system, it remained still.
Xia Mo raised an eyebrow. Was this live-streaming system, which simulated the shape of a caterpillar, playing dead with her?
Patriarch You discovered that the light screen in front of him had disappeared. He kept calling out in his mind: "System, system..."
The head of the You family received no response and had no idea when he would be eliminated or when the live streaming system would self-destruct. He was so frightened that he turned pale and had no mind to scheme or plot!
After selecting the royal tribute, Eunuch Gao returned to the post station to rest, and set off to leave Haozhou Prefecture the next day.
The crowd began to disperse, and soon only a few people remained in the large square. The head of the You family was the most conspicuous; although it wasn't raining, he was soaked as if he had been drenched in a downpour.
The head of the You family was helped back by the You family's servants.
What does his ambition matter in the face of his own life?

Inside the Liang family's estate—
In the room where Lady Yu was unconscious—
Xia Mo sat by the bed, her fingers flying, forming complex hand seals, trying to send the source of the fortune she had drawn from Yu Niangzi back into Yu Niangzi's body, only to find that... the fortune she had taken back had merged with her own!
Xia Mo was shocked and hurriedly used her divine sense to examine herself, but she did not find any new causal lines on her body!
Xia Mo opened her eyes in surprise, looked at Huangfu Qian who was guarding her, blinked hard, and felt extremely complicated.
