The notice was very detailed. Everyone's hearts burned with excitement, feeling the surprise was so sudden. Although many people would be competing for the four spots, it was still a glimmer of hope.

The retail department was bustling once again. The people of Xiahua were a peculiar sort; they flocked wherever there was a crowd. Before long, a long line had formed again.
