"We're here to assist those in need. You can't do this to us!"

Lin Luqin clutched her chest, her indignation somehow managing to look endearing.

The camera crew was visibly more distressed.

"If the cost of your watermelons gets out, it'll undo all our poverty alleviation work."

"We'll buy all your watermelons if the price is fair."

Zhao Yuegu gave Lin Luqin, who was in the midst of a livestream, a steadfast look.

"This watermelon is priced fairly."

"And since this one's been damaged, you owe me compensation."

Lin Luqin was seething.

She had assumed Zhao Yuegu, with his good looks, was also kind-hearted.

Now, she found him utterly unreasonable!

"You're trying to extort me!"

"I'm live right now. Keep this up, and the whole country will hear about it."

The direct broadcasting room was abuzz.

"Have watermelons always been this pricey?"

"He may be handsome, but he's no gentleman."

"Even in Zugrary, watermelons aren't this costly."

The audience in the direct broadcasting room was outraged.

The camera crew had come with the best of intentions to help the poor, only to face this debacle.

Yet, they had indeed damaged a watermelon.

Zhao Yuegu faced the encircling camera crew, unflinching.

"You need to pay for the damages."

"Why should we?"

Suddenly, Lin Luqin found herself at an impasse with Zhao Yuegu.

Eventually, the program team had enough.

"We have other matters to attend to. We'll purchase the watermelon."

"Our budget can cover it."

Lin Luqin protested, "No way! This is extortion!"

But ultimately, she was pulled away by the program team members, who grudgingly handed over 5,000 yuan to Zhao Yuegu and took the split watermelon.

"You've successfully sold a watermelon for 5,000 yuan."

"Congratulations on completing the task. You will receive a tenfold cashback, amounting to 50,000 yuan."

A smile crept back onto Zhao Yuegu's face.

"If you like the taste, feel free to come back for more."

Lin Luqin grew even more infuriated.

"How can someone be like this?"

"And to top it off, he's so attractive."

Thankfully, the program team held Lin Luqin back, leaving her no choice but to yell out her frustrations.

She snatched up a slice of black-skinned watermelon and bit into it with gusto, channeling her frustration into imagining it was Zhao Yuegu.

Yet, as the watermelon hit her taste buds, her irritation melted away like ice in the sun.

She paused, astonishment written all over her face.

How could this watermelon taste so incredible?

A wave of refreshment flooded her body, banishing the weariness from her long journey.
