Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 112: Money in Pocket, Leisure in Life (Second Update)
Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Money in Pocket, Leisure in Life (Second Update)
In the Wilderness World, the Soul Refining Banner stands as tall as a person. Although in its initial state it’s somewhat simple, its size makes it a handy weapon to swing around.
But when brought into the real world, the Soul Refining Banner shrinks to the size of a palm.
Such reduction makes it seem whimsical and delicate, appearing like a casually made little handicraft that couldn’t even swat a fly when thrown.
Jiang Yuan remembered the female ghost from the advertising company and wondered if she had left. If she stayed in the Mortal World, would she turn into a malicious spirit? The problem is, he’s no longer an employee of the office building and can’t swipe his card to enter and take a look.
Oh well, better enjoy a few days of leisurely life and level up Paperman and Paper Horse Skill. First, think of a way to get out from the crevice in the rock.
He jogged a few laps in the nearby park to loosen his muscles. Before, he was always worried about money while job hunting and working, never having time to slow down and listen to the wind, watch the clouds, and enjoy the park he lived near for over two years.
Now, with money in his pocket and leisure in his life, Jiang Yuan indulged in the pleasure of strolling in the park while others were busy working. On a whim, he played a game of chess with two elderly men.
As the saying goes, one grain feeds a hundred different people. Jiang Yuan clearly understands himself: not smart, not slick, not good at reading people, and not very competitive. Being appropriately humble but not greedy, as long as he has enough money to spend, he’s content.
Thus, he’s destined not to accomplish big things. Without that Vajra Drill, trying to handle porcelain work is asking to be smashed.
It’s better to gallop in the game like he does now, enjoy the real world with money and leisure. He thinks that living should primarily be about being carefree and doing whatever one pleases.
He learned Tai Chi with a group of old men and women for a while before buying origami supplies near noon and strolling back home.
Jiang Yuan took long rice from the Storage Bag, washed it clean, and added the right amount of well water, pressing the button to cook; meanwhile, he searched online for recipes and made stir-fried beef with porcini and stir-fried eggs with dried mushrooms. When the dishes were complete and he opened the rice cooker, he was enveloped by the strong aroma of rice.
"Smells so good!" Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, the narrow kitchen filled with the mixed scent of fresh mushrooms and premium rice, tempting him greatly. He served a bowl of fragrant, steaming rice, grabbed two dishes, and headed straight to the dining table.
Just in time, the midday news was airing, and the food safety topic made him frown.
"No wonder rich people nowadays prefer running their own farms, feel safer when the rice, flour, and oil are produced themselves." He sighed, then while eating, he forwarded a link to Yang Hongye, asking her to inquire what reliable brands customers recommend and suggested changing the oil at home.
Simultaneously, he secretly thought about sending some delicious long rice to his parents in the afternoon; preparing to make money quickly and consider acquiring a private farm on a hilltop.
Firstly, it could cover up transporting food to the Otherworld; secondly, he could accompany his parents to enjoy fresh air and a leisurely rural life, not seeking much but to have safe and good food; thirdly, even trying to plant high-quality grains and fruits like long rice and cherry might bring fruitful results!
In the evening, the sales group began receiving feedback from customers about the fruits.
Apart from universally praising the top-notch taste, some immediately showered compliments on Chuci, with two persistently asking when they’d be restocked, saying a box wasn’t enough.
"What the hell? I haven’t even received my shipment yet, but you guys are done with a whole box?"
"Indeed, a box is gone. Problem is, I haven’t eaten much myself. My wife, unaware I struggled to get these, tasted two and found them delicious, then had the chef make jam with them. Now she wants more, doesn’t she?"
"Oh? Your wife has a refined taste, the jam made from these fruits must be amazing!"
"At least making jam means she ate them. I’m really unlucky. I wasn’t home when the goods arrived, got swiped by my relative’s bratty kids, leaving only the box! Five pounds! How did they not burst!"
"@Customer service Yang, when can we get more stock? Your fruits are great, but the quantity is too little..."
...
Jiang Yuan watched Yang Hongye reply with methodical precision, feeling quite satisfied.
Money can make a ghost turn a mill, Shan host capable Yang Hongye together, big and small matters are all handled by her, he just waits to collect money.
As he pondered, Chuci messaged rapidly in the trio group chat, reminding them to stay patient and learn to use hunger marketing tactics wisely. Rushing is not good for business, no matter how eager they are for goods, tell them top-notch items are scarce and will take a couple of days.
But don’t starve them too much, or risk losing clients. After these two days, when restocking, increase the quantity slightly.
"Got it, learned something!" Yang Hongye replied, "Are you still burning incense and praying in a temple?"
"Definitely, fasting, chanting, been immersing myself in this environment, feel like I’m transcending worldly matters." Chuci sent several serene temple photos, making Yang Hongye envious, "When I have enough money, I’ll travel everywhere, live wherever I want! Speaking of which, big business people in the fruit trade count profits by tons, we just count by pounds yet make so much, those business magnates must really profit!"
"When fortune favors, profits are high, when unlucky, losses are greater. Don’t just watch thieves eating meat, think about thieves getting beaten. Next time bring strawberries for listing too, let Yuan push harder, maintain the God of Wealth, and find more top-notch items, sell more, earn more, and you can wander around more." Chuci changed the topic looping in Jiang Yuan, "Yuan, are you there? Can you take a call?"
Jiang Yuan was contemplating where to set up the farm, saw the message, and replied, yes.
Chuci’s call was instant, "Hey, I’ll be back in a few days, want to meet for dinner? Also, about your Medicinal Incense, my aunt had a serious illness a few years ago, been suffering from nerve weakness and poor sleep since. I thought I’d ask about the incense price, get a few sticks to try, if it helps her sleep, it might improve her health a lot."
"Is it just sleep issues, nothing else? Different from your symptoms back then, right?" Once confirmed, Jiang Yuan thought briefly and said, "Then no need for Soothing Incense, try Sleeping Incense first. Medicinal Incense is medicine, and medicine is somewhat toxic. If Sleeping Incense works, no need for the heavy herb dose of Soothing Incense. When will you come to pick it up?"
He agreed on having Chuci host dinner upon returning, while grabbing a few sticks of Sleeping Incense to test its effect, Jiang Yuan hung up and began gathering materials.
With just a letter difference, Sleeping Incense requires fewer materials and simpler craftsmanship, naturally its effect is more singular, purely to make insomniacs fall into deep sleep, while gradually nourishing and adjusting the body through inhalation, curing insomnia.
Jiang Yuan originally considered using Incense Sticks to exchange for wealth, choosing Medicinal Incense for mass production and sale. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Plus, except for two incense ingredients needing Wilderness plants, others like cypress seeds, cloves, patchouli, etc. are available in the real world, making raw material acquisition simpler and easier.
Early next morning, after finishing his practice and breakfast, he headed straight to the pharmacy across the residential area.
