Chapter 269: Year-End Banquet! The Musical Ceremony Scroll Has to Be Used in Reality?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Music festivals were considered relatively unimportant in Ranches Story because players had less participation.
When Qin Lin played in Ore Town, he would go to the church to listen to music during the music festival and watch the plot.
Among the other versions, only the Twin Village version was more interesting. Players could still participate in the performance.
But what was this ‘Musical Ceremony’ scroll?
He did not remember this item in the old version in the past. Or had he just gone through the plot and did not receive this special item?
It was not easy to trigger a plot. No matter what it was, he had to take it down first.
After Qin Lin saw Zach’s notification, he immediately controlled the game character to leave the ranch and head to Ore Town.
The scene in Ore Town was clearly different this time. Colorful lights had been hung on the streets for the music festival. Many tables had been placed in the church. They were filled with food and surrounded by NPCs.
At the church door, the mayor was dressed in a suit.
He controlled the game character to step forward and click. A conversation appeared:
[Are you going to provide food for the town’s music season? If you provide enough food, you can get the mysterious music sacrificial scroll.]

He controlled the game character to return to the ranch and took out the duck eggs, wild fish, vegetables, and Xiangshui Tribute Rice he had stored previously. Then, he controlled the game character to return to Ore Town and handed these things to the mayor.
[Thank you very much for your contribution to the music festival. Come to the music festival tonight. When the time comes, those who have contributed to the music festival will be given the music festival scroll as a gift.]
This would have to wait for the game night again.
Fortunately, the passage of time in the game was different. Night quickly arrived in the game.
Qin Lin controlled his game character to enter the town church again. As expected, there was a plot inside. NPC characters went up one after another to play instruments.
The music played happily too.
When the plot screen passed, the mayor appeared in front of the game character.
[Because of your contribution to the music festival. This is your gift!]
[Congratulations on obtaining the Musical Ceremony Scroll!]
Qin Lin received a notification and controlled his game character to return to the ranch. After locking the office door, he entered the game.
He saw the Musical Ceremony scroll. There seemed to be some kind of pattern drawn on it.
When he focused, the note appeared:
[Musical Ceremony Scroll: Mysterious Item!]
[This is a special sacrificial scroll from Ore Town. It has been blessed by the goddess to hold a music festival for your employees. You can obtain special props at random.]
[Requirements: 1. Hold a music festival for the employees. 2. There must be enough attention to the music festival. 3. There must be at least 10 music programs. 4. The employees’ enthusiasm must be high enough.]
When Qin Lin saw this notification, he wanted to complain.
Was this a serial plot mission?
It seemed like this Musical Ceremony Scroll was not the final gift. After satisfying the music sacrifice request, the random special item obtained by the scroll was the gift.
But where the hell did his ranch have employees?
Even if he hired dwarfs to work in the future and pulled them to the music festival, there would only be seven dwarfs, right?
There aren’t even 10 for each dwarf to perform a music program.
Most importantly, how could he judge the attention? He could even invite the residents of the town?
Qin Lin exited the game and tried to control his game character to click on the Musical Ceremony Scroll. He received another message:
[Current usage requirements are not met!]
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQin Lin frowned. He controlled his game character to talk to the residents of the town one by one, but he did not trigger any conversation about the music festival scroll.
He tried for a long time, but nothing happened.
It felt like a dead end.
It was as if the things he had handed to the mayor had gone down the drain. He had obtained a scroll that he could not use. Or perhaps he had missed something crucial.
As he was thinking, he heard a knock on his office door. He could only snap out of the game and open the door.
Zhou Chengjun, who was wearing a neat suit and a tie, walked in. His hair was still meticulously styled.
“Why are you here at the villa today?” Qin Lin stood up and invited the other party to sit at the tea table.
Regarding the operation of Youcheng County Sauce, he had never interfered or asked about it. Firstly, he had promised Zhou Chengjun that the management rights would belong to him. Secondly, he was extremely busy with his villa and Qinglin Ketchup.
Therefore, he only listened to Zhou Chengjun come to the villa regularly to report the situation to him.
The quality of Youcheng County Sauce was not bad. It had already been produced and products had already entered the villa’s sales center to be sold. They had also entered the RT-Mart.
Even under Deng Guang’s recommendation, Cheng He, the agent of Qinglin Ketchup, also tried to sell Youcheng County Sauce.
Based on the current situation, the sales of Youcheng County Sauce were not bad. The data from Cheng He was still passable. Naturally, it was far inferior to Qinglin Ketchup.
Furthermore, the sauce market was still controlled by Lao Gan Ma’s sauce.
Most importantly, although he had invested in the other party, the management rights had been given to Zhou Chengjun. That meant that they were not from the same company. He could not use the villa’s channels to promote Youcheng County Sauce as he did with Qinglin Ketchup.
Zhou Chengjun sat down and said with a smile, “President Qin, Youcheng County Sauce will be having a year-end banquet in two days. You’re a major shareholder, so I invited you to attend it together.”
The year-end banquet was originally a custom in the Min Nan region, but as society developed, it had now evolved into a gathering of countless companies to thank their employees at the end of the year.
