I Really Want to Gather the Whole Village and Hand Out Candy

Liang Xin arrived in the countryside at a leisurely pace.

He watched Li Haiyang negotiate with the villagers.

When the others started loading the carts, Liang Xin wandered off on his own!

"Now this is living!"

Liang Xin walked through the village, which had a strong air of the times and could even be called rather primitive.

He couldn't help letting out a sigh, like someone moaning without being ill.

Of all the days he'd worked lately, today was the most comfortable!

He didn't have to work, and when he got bored, he could wander around inside and outside the village.

If he got tired, he could find a place to sit for a while.

This body was in much better shape than his old one, so he wouldn't feel tired even if he wandered around all day.

So right now, it felt like he was traveling on vacation, the way he used to.

He was out having fun and feasting his eyes.

The difference was that when he used to travel, he could feast his palate too. That was the one drawback here: there was no feast for his palate.

It was poor! Even with a freshly earned fortune of ten yuan in his pocket,

the villagers had nothing much to sell him!

"Hey, little guys, come here!"

A few children looked at him timidly, not daring to come closer.

Their clothes were all tattered and torn. Two children who looked about three or four weren't even wearing any clothes!

One had his little pecker swinging around.

The other... hmm, where was your little pecker?

Oh, a girl!

Never mind, then.

The villagers had gone too far!

She might be little, but she was still a girl! They could at least have gotten her a pair of little underpants or something!

"Come here. Uncle—no, big brother will give you some candy!"

He'd only transmigrated a few days ago, and sometimes he still got his age mixed up.

After all, before he was reborn, he'd been nearly forty, while this body wasn't even an adult yet!

This was a village, so it was relatively safe.

On top of that, there was the temptation of candy.

The little fellow with his pecker swinging around was the first to give in to temptation. Drooling, he cautiously walked over.

Liang Xin smiled and patted the little fellow on the head.

Then his smile vanished, and he wiped his hand on his pants.

What was that stuff on the kid's head?!

Why did it stink a little, too?!

It couldn't be shit, could it?!

That was going too far! Which little brat had done it?!

Peeing to make mud was one thing!

How was there an upgraded version of that game?!

Sure enough, he shouldn't just reach out and touch every child he saw, or sooner or later he'd get his comeuppance!

The other children saw the smallest one get his candy.

He was grinning so happily as he ate it, showing two rows of little black teeth.

In the end, the other children couldn't resist the temptation either. One by one, they cautiously came over to get candy.

[You gained seven points of Level-Up Experience]

[You gained eight points of Level-Up Experience]

[You gained nine points of Level-Up Experience!]

Even the system notification had added an emphatic exclamation mark.

Maybe even the system hadn't expected these children to give so much experience!

"That's seven or eight experience points per kid! Much better than those little brats in the courtyard, who only give three or four each!"

"Working has this perk too?"

He took a look at his Level-Up Experience.

He'd had six points left after leveling up yesterday.

That morning, he'd farmed a batch from the children in the courtyard using the art of managing his subordinates, and just now he'd gotten some from Li Haiyang and the two cart drivers.

With this little batch on top of that, he was nearly back to a hundred!

"How much experience do I need to level up this time?"

"It won't still be a hundred, will it? No way, no way. Hehe."

"I hope it is!"

Liang Xin knew that was definitely impossible.

In any leveling system, the experience needed at level two was bound to be higher than at level one!

He just didn't know how much higher it would be this time.

The system didn't even give him an experience bar or anything to check!

One-star review!

After Liang Xin finished handing out the candy and farmed some experience, he got ready to leave.

He'd spend a little longer admiring the natural scenery, which looked pretty much the same everywhere.

Once his eyes got tired of it, he'd go to the village canteen and wait for a not-so-great lunch.

There was an old, shabby reclining chair over there that he could lie on.

It was old and battered and worn out, but it was still more comfortable than sitting on a bench!

But he hadn't gone far when he saw a few more children running over from a distance.

They didn't run toward him, though. They ran toward the children from before.

Then, before long, he heard crying.

They were really wailing their hearts out!

It seemed like even most people wouldn't cry that loudly when a relative died!

Was that really necessary?!

Was missing out on one piece of candy really the saddest thing in the world to you?

So Liang Xin turned back and gave the new children some candy.

It only cost one fen a piece anyway.

Even if every child in the village came over, how much could it cost?

And honestly, at such a good return for his money, he hoped the more children came, the better.

Seven or eight experience points for one fen was an amazing bargain!

He'd farmed his first batch of experience from Aunt He with two jin of eggs worth one yuan!

And that had only been five experience points!

The difference was enormous!

If he hadn't been afraid the adults would misunderstand, he'd have wanted the village chief to gather the whole village together

so he could hand out candy to everyone, one by one!

Forget it, forget it. Wouldn't he get beaten up for that?!

If he made such a big production of it, one piece of candy per person probably wouldn't be enough to send them away.

If he didn't give everyone a jin of rice each, he probably wouldn't make it out of the village.

He thought he could send everyone away with one piece of candy each?

Who was he looking down on?!

Good grief, he'd only been thinking about it.

Who would have thought word would spread so fast in this little village?

Before long, he really had attracted all the village's children!

There weren't that many of them, though.

Only a little over twenty.
