The task of 'Madam Riley's Request' wasn't exactly a secret.

In my past life, after several people were commissioned without success, Madam Riley directly offered a substantial reward and posted the task on the commission board.

Anyone could accept this task, and there were no penalties for failure.

So, back then, almost every player in Maple Leaf City had this strange task in their task list.

Unfortunately, the task clues were too scarce, and despite so many players, no one ever found that flower.

Eventually, Madam Riley herself retrieved that beautiful flower.

And according to Jiang Han's understanding, the item 'Beautiful Flower' was actually located in a shop within Wind Leaf City.

Soon, following his memory, Jiang Han arrived at a prop shop in the south of the city.

The shop wasn't large, just like a roadside breakfast stall, with a few scattered NPCs selecting goods.

The shop owner was an old man wearing a white robe and sporting a small mustache, Wayne.

Wayne had narrow eyes and looked very shrewd.

The first impression he gave was that of a big, unscrupulous merchant.

"Oh? This guest from afar, what would you like to buy?"

As soon as he saw Jiang Han, Wayne's eyes lit up, and he hurried to greet him.

Jiang Han casually looked around and said, "I heard this shop sells gift boxes?"

"Yes, yes, we do. Which type do you need?"

Wayne rubbed his hands together eagerly.

Coming in and asking about gift boxes right away, this is definitely a big sucker… no, a big customer!

Jiang Han said calmly, "All of them."

"All of them?"

Wayne hesitated for a moment, then sized up the young man before him. "Are you sure?"

"Sure," Jiang Han nodded.

"This…"

Wayne frowned. You see, the gift boxes in his shop weren't cheap.

The most expensive one cost as much as 10,000 gold coins.

Honestly, he hadn't sold one in years.

After all, everyone knew that gift boxes looked fancy, but they didn't contain much of value; they were just for scamming outsiders.

Wayne was certainly happy to sell them now, but at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered the ultimate sucker.

Or was this person just here to have fun?

Seeing Wayne's expression, Jiang Han knew what the old man was thinking. He immediately waved his hand, and a handful of shiny gold coins appeared.

"Don't worry, I have plenty of money."

"Alright! Please wait a moment."

Wayne smiled brightly, perfectly demonstrating what it means to be all smiles at the sight of money.

A row of gift boxes instantly appeared before Jiang Han.

There were four in total, each with different sizes and shapes.

And the prices were 2000, 3000, 5000, and 10,000 gold coins respectively.

"So expensive," Jiang Han couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. Only now did he finally understand why so many players in Wind Leaf City hadn't found Madam Riley's flower in his past life.

The price of these gift boxes was simply terrifyingly high.

And the most crucial thing was that Wayne's shop was a notorious black shop.

Many rich players were scammed in the early stages of the game.

After that, no player ever stepped into this black shop again, so how could they possibly buy these gift boxes that were synonymous with empty shells?

And the flower that Madam Riley wanted was obtained from a gift box.

If he didn't know the effort and cost Madam Riley had put into finding this flower, Jiang Han would have even suspected that this task was a pig-butchering scam set up by Madam Riley and Wayne.

"They're all here. Which one do you want?" Wayne stared at Jiang Han eagerly, afraid that the young man would go back on his word.

Jiang Han said calmly, "I want them all."

"All of them?"

Wayne's mouth almost split open to his ears. "Four gift boxes, a total of 20,000 gold coins, you see…"

Before Wayne could finish speaking, Jiang Han interrupted impatiently, "What I mean is, I want all the gift boxes in your shop."

"What did you say?" Wayne was stunned. The wrinkles on his old face shrunk into a ball. He suspected he was hallucinating.

"I said, I want all the gift boxes in your shop," Jiang Han repeated calmly.

"Ah??!!"

"What the hell?!"

Each word was forceful and resounding. This time, not only the shop owner Wayne, but even the few shills he had hired at great expense to pretend to be customers, exclaimed in surprise.

They began to doubt their lives.

My goodness!

Where did this God of Wealth come from?

Although Wayne's shop wasn't big, it was full of gift boxes. Roughly estimated, there were no less than a hundred. Even if calculated at the lowest price, it would cost at least 200,000 gold coins!

And that's the lowest!

"Is there a problem?" Jiang Han glanced at the surprised few.

"No, no, no!"

Wayne waved his hands repeatedly in excitement, completely incoherent.

Mom!

Your son has made it!

All the gift boxes sold out. Having lived for so long, this was the first time he had encountered such a thing.

At this moment, Wayne only felt that this man whose face he couldn't see clearly was so heroic and unparalleled.

"So, do you want to take the gift boxes away, or open them now?" Wayne asked with a smile.

"Open them now," Jiang Han said.

"Alright! You guys come and help too, there's a reward!"

Wayne immediately yelled.

And when the others heard that they could open boxes and get paid, was there really such a good thing?

They immediately swarmed up, vying to open the gift boxes.

Not long after...

"Esteemed guest, look, all the gift boxes have been opened according to your request."

The ground was covered with gift box debris. Wayne stood in front of Jiang Han, his old face blushing slightly.

A full 500,000 gold coins worth, more than a hundred gift boxes.

In the end, only a pile of junk props and two pieces of bronze equipment were opened.

This drop rate would make even Old Ma admit defeat.

"As expected…"

Even Jiang Han, who didn't have much hope, couldn't help but shake his head.

Even though black merchants were everywhere in the 《Doomsday》 world, this Wayne was considered the best of the best.

But it didn't matter, anyway, he didn't expect to get anything good from the gift boxes.

Without even looking at the two pieces of bronze equipment, he turned to take a prop that no one else had noticed.
