Before Gan Yu could even utter the word "habit," she was interrupted by the breakfast Su Han had prepared.
It was a plate of fragrant, fresh and refreshing fruit. The aroma emanating from it was enough to prove that it had just been picked that morning. Just looking at it made Gan Yu swallow her saliva.
Seeing Gan Yu's stunned expression, Su Han poured her a glass of clean dew and said with a smile, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, please enjoy."
Actually, when the other person said they wanted to read comics, he was pretty sure what they wanted. All he could say was thank you so much, Xingqiu. It would have been quite troublesome without that disclaimer.
However, things should be fine once Gan Yu finishes reading the comic.
Gan Yu wanted to refuse, but she was too hungry and exhausted after not resting all night. She secretly glanced at Su Han and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was reading a book.
"Eating just a little bit shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Thinking this, Gan Yu stretched out her fair little hand, gently picked up a piece of Qingxin, and put it in her mouth.
Although the taste was somewhat bitter, she found it particularly delicious and ate several flowers in a row until she felt a little choked up. Gan Yu then picked up her water glass and took a small sip. After only one sip, she exclaimed in surprise, "Su Han, how did you know I like dew?"
As a member of the Qilin clan, I should be known by very few people other than the Seven Stars of Liyue and the immortals.
Su Han raised his head and smiled, "They drink only sweet dew and eat only auspicious grains. This is a custom of the Qilin clan."
Hearing his answer, Gan Yu became even more certain that he also had the bloodline of the Qilin. So she put down the comic book in her hand and asked, "Are you also a member of the Qilin clan?"
"I don't think so. At most, we have some bloodline."
Su Han neither denied nor admitted it; what he said was the truth, after all, there was only one fruit.
But these words had a different meaning in Gan Yu's ears. If Su Han was also a mixed-blood of the Qilin clan, then he would be just like her.
Because Gan Yu herself is a combination of a human and a mythical beast.
"I see, no wonder you know about me. Actually, I came here because of the comic. Someone said it involved slandering the Qilin clan. Now that I think about it, it's just nonsense."
Gan Yu did not mention her master, fearing that the two might misunderstand each other.
But Su Han said, "Actually, the person who said that definitely didn't continue reading. I gave a hint on the cover of the third volume that the story in the comic is purely fictional. Also, there will be a lot of scenes about the Qilin's background later. Although it is a magical beast, it is for special reasons. Even when it kills, it is to protect this world."
"Is that so?"
Gan Yu looked surprised; she had never expected the plot of the story to be so convoluted.
To avoid any misunderstanding from Gan Yu, Su Han deliberately explained the plot of the Dragon Vein in advance. Only after hearing that the other party had protected the world for thousands of years did Gan Yu finally feel completely at ease.
"I knew it! You also have the bloodline of the Qilin, so why would you ruin your own reputation? I understand. I'll explain it later. By the way, since we're from the same clan, you can come to Yujingtai or Qunyuge to find me if you need anything in the future. Although I usually go out, they have my unique way of contacting me."
"Row."
"Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you today. Let's chat again when we have time."
"Ok."
When Gan Yu left, she had a bag of fresh Qingxin (a type of herbal tea) and a copy of Fengyun (a popular Chinese comic book series). Although she tried her best to prove that she was really full, she couldn't resist Su Han's enthusiasm.
No snack is considered a full bite.
Herbs have no calories and provide additional nutrients.
Although she couldn't understand what Su Han was saying, Gan Yu found it hard to refuse his words.
On the way, Gan Yu recalled the other person's scent, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
"Master Liuyun always says that I can't integrate into Liyue Harbor. Now that I have Su Han, if I get to know him better, I should be able to learn a lot."
"Yes, I'll try to talk to him every few days from now on."
"It seems that although this clansman's business is doing well, he has very few friends."
Su Han has a good reputation in Liyue Harbor, but he has very few friends, so it's a good opportunity for the two of them to have more conversations.
I can recommend some shops or share business knowledge, and the other party can also give me advice on how to perfectly integrate into the secular world. It's a win-win situation.
Thinking of the wonderful life ahead, Gan Yu smiled and said, "Perhaps this is the destiny that the True Lord spoke of."
Chapter 9: Xingqiu brings goods to Chenyu Valley; the second lottery begins.
Upon returning to Qunyu Pavilion, Gan Yu handed over his official duties.
It was already 10 a.m. Although she had missed some things, we couldn't be too harsh on her. Gan Yu's workload was terrifying; ten ordinary people couldn't match her workload alone.
Ningguang even bluntly stated that without Gan Yu, at least 20 elites would be needed.
In her spare time, Gan Yu replied to her master about Su Han's situation. The reply was based on her personal experience and also explained that Su Han possessed the bloodline of the Qilin.
"I hope Your Majesty will not be angry; this is entirely a misunderstanding."
After finishing the last stroke, Gan Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her master didn't come over, otherwise it would have been a big joke.
However, what Gan Yu found strange was that she had met Su Han several times before, but why hadn't she sensed the Qilin bloodline in him before?
Gan Yu was slightly puzzled. Could it be that the bloodline between a celestial beast and a human would have a hidden stage?
But I didn't go through this phase when I was a child.
Gan Yu couldn't understand it, but she didn't dare to ask too much. After all, this kind of thing involved her spouse, and she was afraid that if she asked too much, given Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun's eloquent personality, he might say something like, "My disciple and that shopkeeper Su are both Qilin half-immortal beasts, why don't they get to know each other?" Gan Yu would be dead.
But she didn't know that her master would actually recommend disciples later on, and not just once.
The comic shop was still thriving, thanks to Xingqiu's help, who delivered a large quantity of blank paper at nine o'clock in the morning.
Su Han looked at the tons and tons of paper being delivered and exclaimed in surprise, "So much?"
Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is really something else. When they buy things themselves, they always pay high prices, sometimes even double the price. But Feiyun Chamber of Commerce just throws in tens of tons of blank paper at the lowest price. They're really something else!
Xingqiu smiled smugly upon hearing this, "We were lucky. This batch of goods was stockpiled before the New Year. We originally intended to sell it to a bookstore, but that bookstore went bankrupt at the beginning of the year. My father was worried about how to sell this batch of goods. But when I mentioned it to them at home, they immediately thought of these things. If we don't sell them, they'll probably be stuck with them."
That's what they say, but Su Han felt that things weren't that simple. Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
It's important to know that the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild mainly deals in gem products and precious minerals produced in Liyue, and occasionally sells silk and other items, as well as furs and herbs from Sumeru.
Su Han would never believe that they were hoarding blank paper. He guessed that Xingqiu's father wanted to encourage Xingqiu to do business with him and was preparing in advance.
All I can say is that the boss of the Chamber of Commerce is very meticulous.
"Anyway, thank you so much," Su Han said with a smile. Then, she changed the subject and asked, "By the way, would you like me to buy a batch of comics for you? I'll sell them to you at a low price, but as you know, my shop's production capacity isn't large enough yet. I can only provide you with 2000 copies at the moment."
Xingqiu was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Hmm? Really? That's great. But when will Brother Su's 'Wind and Cloud' comic be updated?"
Last night, Xingqiu barely slept at all, constantly taking out the comics to read repeatedly, especially the second half, which became more and more exciting the more he read it.
A martial arts legend, truly deserving of the title, he drove back the enemies of Tianchi with just a erhu.
Xingqiu was incredibly impressed by their strength, their magnanimity, and their values.
He initially felt that the love, hate, and grudges didn't quite fit his ideal of a chivalrous story, until the appearance of Nameless made Xingqiu fall in love with the comic.
"You mean this? That's something we can have today, but let's not repeat the last time, where we gave ourselves away as soon as we stepped out the door."
Su Han glanced at the system.
He said it lightly.
[System]: Multiverse Comic System (Permission Level 1, advance to the next level after selling a cumulative total of 50,000 copies! Current sales: 3182 copies.)
[Comic]: The Storm Riders (TV series version based on a comic)
[Permissions]: Level 3 (Can create manga content for volumes 5-6)
[Restriction]: Selling 8000 copies unlocks subsequent content.
[Reward]: Selling 8000 copies unlocks the third lottery draw. After five draws, you can get one free draw for a treasure. (Note: You can currently draw once.)
[Prize Pool]: Players can randomly obtain cultivation techniques, treasures, elixirs, divine weapons, and even fantastical treasures from the world of Fengyun. Super treasures will not appear if the player's comic access level is below 5.
[Benefit]: If the host obtains a cultivation technique, they can level up by accumulating points. One comic book equals one point.
Upon hearing that volumes 5 and 6 were already available, Xingqiu became incredibly excited. He grabbed Su Han's hand and asked, "Really? Brother Su, you're so kind!!! You're truly my confidant! Don't worry, I'll definitely sell these comics for you quickly!"
Seeing the excited boy, Su Han was also quite happy. After all, having a fanatic fan as a purchasing agent meant that his comics would have an additional sales channel in the future, which would bring him very close to the third round of the lottery.
However, the story of Feng Yun is not long; it will probably end in a few more volumes.
Therefore, Su Han is not in a hurry. Currently, 3000 copies have been sold in Liyue Harbor alone, and Xingqiu has purchased 2000 copies on behalf of others. It will be very soon to unlock the next stage. It is estimated that it will take less than a week.
The discussion about comics in the city is just beginning; it will actually take some time before they become truly popular.
That morning, Su Han gave Xing Qiu a total of 2400 books. The reason there were 400 extra books was that there were currently six volumes of content, and 400 books for each volume would make it a round number.
After all, selling items in sets is the most profitable.
Xingqiu acted quickly. In order to get things moving as soon as possible, he brought the Mora ticket over that afternoon and had someone verify and open the contract.
Originally, it didn't have to be so complicated, but Su Han felt it was absolutely necessary. After all, integrity is the most important thing in business dealings. Besides, Xing Qiu represents the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, not his own business, so formal procedures are definitely essential.
Before leaving, the boy still held the comic book with reluctance. Even though he had just received the latest comic, he secretly came to Su Han to ask about the next update.
"How much longer until we can see the rest of the story? I heard from Hu Tao that your printing press has a strange quirk: you can only see the sequel if it sells a lot."
"Ahem. 8000 copies. You can buy a batch for us this time. We only need 3000 more, and we can start reading the sequel in a week at most."
Upon hearing this, Xingqiu immediately became excited.
"Alright, I'll go and come back as soon as possible. I'll try to return from Chenyu Valley within a week and make sure I don't miss the comic's update. But Brother Su, if I'm late in returning, could you please send the comic to Uncle Li at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce?"
"no problem!"
It was just a trivial matter; it was no big deal for Su Han.
After seeing Xingqiu off, Su Han returned to the second floor of the shop. She had spent the morning with Gan Yu and the afternoon delivering goods with Xingqiu, so she had no time to participate in the lucky draw.
Now I finally have some free time.
Without further hesitation, Su Han returned to his room and opened the system: "Draw the second wave of rewards."
"Ding! Congratulations! You have acquired the martial art [Cloud Dispelling Palm] from the [Storm Riders] world. Level: Beginner."
In the virtual prize pool, a yellowed ancient book fell out. Su Han caught it, his eyes full of smiles.
It's like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just sleepy; I was really lacking martial arts skills, and here they are!
Moreover, the Cloud-Dispelling Palm is a top-tier martial art in the world of Feng Yun, as it not only includes footwork but also possesses considerable offensive power!
This is the third update. Please vote and recommend! Thank you everyone. There will be another update today, around 10 AM.
