Seeing her subordinates' utterly shocked expressions, Sister Lan said, "That's why sometimes gathering intelligence is the most important thing. Don't just laze around all day waiting to die. Besides, do you think the new city of Guili Plain was anyone's idea? Quite a few people saw that boss going there with Lord Ningguang."
One bombshell after another was deafening.
The leaders of these adventurers' associations had thought that Boss Su was a shrewd businessman, but they never expected him to be so terrifying. If that was the case, then this boss was far more cunning than they thought.
"In that case, our gift should be even more elaborate."
Hearing that everyone agreed with her idea, Sister Lan smiled again and nodded, saying, "You're a promising young man. Go and prepare well. People of that status can't be moved by ordinary gifts."
"Don't worry, boss. We have quite a few treasures, and we definitely won't let Mr. Su down."

Chapter 127 The Adventure King's Manga That's a Sensation Throughout Liyue Harbor, by Lan Jie
proactive door-to-door service
With their gifts in hand, everyone followed Sister Lan out of the Adventurers' Association. Seeing the large number of new members coming to register, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. Who would have thought that the Adventurers' Association would have such a lively day?
When they arrived on the main street, they discovered that everyone had switched to Adventure King. It wasn't that the other three comics weren't popular, but Adventure King was truly suitable for all ages, and you could even find all sorts of novel adventures in it, which was something other comics couldn't do.
Imagine if each short chapter featured a different landscape, custom, and culture—wouldn't that feel incredibly novel?
And that's the charm of Adventure King!
"Wow, there's even a Candle Fruit! Boss Su's imagination is truly amazing!"
"At first I thought the Bomb-Bomb Fruit was strong enough, but there are always stronger ones. And the Smoke-Smoke Fruit was also a lot of fun. I think it would be really interesting if a smoker could master it."
"Yeah, and Zoan-type Devil Fruits are really interesting, but is Chopper's Devil Fruit really a Devil Fruit? He seems so ordinary, like an ordinary person!"
"Hahaha, then let's call it Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan-type Commoner Form."
"Pfft, Chopper would be heartbroken if he heard that."
"But it's really weak."
"After all, she's the group's darling."
Lan Jie and the others couldn't help but laugh when they heard these people's remarks, because the topic was really too interesting.
Meanwhile, the people on the other side were discussing Luffy and his crew's moves. For example, one boy used a wooden stick as a longsword to imitate Zoro, while another boy played with his feet. In short, everyone was having a great time.
Upon witnessing this, members of the Adventurers' Guild couldn't help but exclaim, "Boss Su's comics are truly amazing! They even bring back childhood memories for me!"
"Yes, all sorts of bizarre dreams! And all kinds of islands, it's really interesting."
"Sometimes I think that Devil Fruits are just things people imagine. After all, some people want the power of a tiger, and others want the power to control smoke."
"That should be the case. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the next volume will be like."
They chatted casually along the way and soon arrived at the Yujingtai branch. Sister Lan introduced herself to the guard and said that she was there to deliver a gift to Boss Su. The guard quickly went to report.
Sister Lan and the others waited downstairs for a few minutes before the guards returned.
"Hello, our boss is receiving important guests inside and cannot come out. Please come in and have a seat."
Upon hearing the guard's words, the members of the Adventurers' Guild frowned. What kind of distinguished guest could make Boss Su act so high and mighty? However, when they went inside, they discovered that he was genuinely unavailable.
The first person they saw was Gan Yu, the super secretary of Yujingtai, followed by Yan Fei, the top secretary of Liyue. Then they saw Ke Qing, the Yuheng of the Liyue Seven Stars, and the rest were also important figures.
For example, Master Hu of Wangsheng Hall, Xingqiu who recently opened the Liushui Chamber of Commerce, and Chongyun, the young master of the exorcism family, are all here.
Upon seeing the Adventurers' Guild members arrive, Su Han smiled and said, "Please have a seat, everyone. May I ask what brings you here? If it's a private matter, we can discuss it elsewhere."
Sister Lan glanced around and said with a wry smile, "No, it's not that much. I came here primarily to thank you for promoting our Adventurers' Association, and secondly, I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
"You want to buy comics on my behalf?"
"Sort of, but we want the Adventure King manga to become the representative of the Adventurers' Guild, and at the same time, we want to use it to promote the deeds of us adventurers."
Since the comic is so popular, Sister Lan naturally doesn't want to waste this great opportunity for promotion.
Ke Qing frowned and said, "Won't the sudden influx of so many adventurers affect public order? I mean, if they go on a crazy exploration of ancient ruins, they'll definitely cause all sorts of chaos, won't they?"
Faced with her question, Sister Lan was speechless for a moment, because she had never thought of this question. Those following behind Sister Lan also looked bitter. This question was really sharp, but what she said was also correct.
After all, once there are many adventurers, some will inevitably become restless, just like in the story of the King of Adventure, there will be many bad guys.
"That's not how it works. While an increase in adventurers will increase the risks in Liyue, I have a way to minimize those risks and even use these adventurers to serve Liyue."
"Hmm? Is there really such a method? Mr. Su Han, please enlighten me."
Sister Lan urgently needs to solve the problem posed by Keqing; otherwise, if the authorities intervene, no matter how hard the Adventurers' Guild tries, it will be useless. This is the weakness of non-governmental organizations.
Su Han smiled slightly and pointed to the chair next to him, saying, "Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Thank you."
After Sister Lan and her group sat down, Su Han finally revealed his thoughts.
"The answer is actually very simple. For example, if there are more adventurers, wouldn't they want to do something to prove themselves? So why can't we guide them? This would not only prevent them from acting recklessly, but also help the public."
"You mean assigning missions to adventurer groups?"
Sister Lan immediately guessed Su Han's thoughts, and Ke Qing's eyes lit up when she heard this. This method was simply brilliant!
Su Han nodded and said, "That's right! You might think that this kind of thing limits adventurers, but don't forget that adventurers also need Mora to survive. The more commissions they accept, the stronger their survival ability will become. At the same time, I can encourage the official release of some dangerous commissions! What do you think?"
Sister Lan immediately smiled and said, "That's wonderful! We're happy to serve Liyue!"
"Well, since you're all satisfied, that's fine. Now I can give you another suggestion. The Adventurers' Guild's current assessment of adventurers' and adventurer groups' strength is rather vague. So you could create a points system based on commissions. Stronger adventurer groups could easily accept missions and obtain the corresponding information, while lower-level groups would need to complete more missions to improve their strength."
Su Han discussed some of the settings from online games, which resulted in unanimous approval from the higher-ups of the Adventurers' Guild!
Keqing then stated that the official team would release more frequent missions, including missions to escort supplies, clear monsters, and even explore ruins.
Upon hearing this, Sister Lan and the others were naturally extremely grateful, expressing that they would never let down the official's trust. They had originally planned to obtain Boss Su's publicity permission and send him a thank-you gift, but they never expected that he would give them such a generous gift first.
If we really do as Su Han says, the Adventurers' Association will soon grow stronger, and its influence will gradually expand. At that time, I, as the branch president, will be remembered in history.
Thinking of this, Sister Lan's smile deepened.
Chapter 128 Keqing attempts to unleash the secret of Zoro's iron-cutting technique, without dreams.
People who aren't worth Luffy's help
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Su, and for your care, Miss Keqing. Our Adventurers' Guild will take responsibility for supervising things ourselves! At the same time, we will strive to become adventurers like Luffy."
As Sister Lan was talking, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't given out the gifts yet. She immediately looked apologetic and said, "I'm really sorry. We were having so much fun chatting that I forgot about the gifts. Xinming, why don't you hurry up and bring out what you prepared?"
"Yes, Branch Manager."
Soon, an exquisite box appeared in front of Su Han. He opened it and was surprised to find that the gift was actually a contract for a medium-sized merchant ship!
Su Han looked at the people from the Adventurers' Guild and smiled, "You guys are really generous. This ship must have cost a fortune, right?"
"Since it's you who's giving me a gift, it's not appropriate to give me something like gold or silver. Considering your business, Mr. Su, we happen to have a brand-new merchant ship here, and we'd like to give it to you so that it will be more convenient for you to travel in the future."
"Alright! Since you're so generous, you can come to me directly if you need anything in the future."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Su. By the way, regarding the comic book resale, you can tell me your needs now, and we can discuss it together."
After most things were settled, the next step was business dealings. They weren't looking to make money; just promoting the Adventurers' Guild was enough for them—essentially using comics for advertising.
Su Han thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you can't sell in the places where my friend is! Currently, you can't go to Liyue Harbor, Shenyu Valley, Mondstadt, Ormos Harbor, and other places, what do you think?"
"No problem! You can tell us directly where you are selling in the future."
When Sister Lan heard that there were only four regions, she finally felt relieved. After all, the Teyvat world is very large. If she couldn't sell here, she could just go somewhere else.
The matter was resolved perfectly, and the members of the Adventurers' Guild did not stay any longer and turned to leave.
At this moment, Gan Yu suddenly asked, "If we leave everything to the adventurers, won't that affect the development of the Thousand Rock Army?"
“Absolutely not!” Su Han denied it outright, then analyzed, “This is actually a good thing. The Thousand Rock Army specializes in protecting the country, so they can reduce a lot of trivial matters on weekdays and focus on improving their strength! And some unimportant things can be left to the adventurers, which is almost killing two birds with one stone.”
Ke Qing wholeheartedly agreed, and she said with a smile, "That's why I chose to support them just now. Gan Yu, think about how hard the Thousand Rock Army works every day, right? But now they don't have to worry about those trivial matters anymore. They just need to guard the city and train hard! As for actual combat, we can arrange it ourselves. Su Han is a very shrewd guy."
The decision to assign missions to the Adventurers' Guild rests entirely with the Liyue Septate, so there's no fear of them growing stronger. On the contrary, the stronger the Adventurers' Guild becomes, the safer Liyue will be.
For example, the task of cracking down on the treasure-hunting group could have been handled by the Adventurers' Guild, and the Liyue Seven Stars would only need to pay a certain amount of Mora.
Gan Yu's eyes lit up, and she said, "I see, then it really is a win-win situation."
At this moment, Hu Tao looked at the ship's contract and said excitedly, "I didn't expect the Adventurers' Guild to be so generous! It's a medium-sized merchant ship! Do you want to go sailing together tonight?"
"No problem. You can count who wants to go later, and we'll have a banquet tonight."
"Then I'll prepare a feast!"
When Xiangling saw that Su Han wanted to have a get-together, she immediately offered to be the cook. Keqing, on the other hand, regretfully said that she had to go to the construction site in the afternoon, so the get-together would have to wait until next time.
Apart from this Yuheng Star, everyone else was willing to go.
However, before that, Keqing said, "Um... has the manga been updated yet? I want to read it while I'm on my way!"
"It has been updated, please wait a moment."
The reason why everyone in the courtyard hasn't left is because they're all waiting for the comic's update, and Su Han certainly won't let them down.
Soon the stories of Volumes 3 and 4 will begin.
Upon seeing the comics, Hu Tao temporarily put aside her statistical work.
The story picks up right where the last chapter left off. With the combined efforts of Luffy and the others, the country finally has a bright future. Chopper also joins the Straw Hat Pirates as the ship's doctor. However, when Chopper leaves, countless cherry blossoms bloom on Winter Island, a scene that is still very touching.
The next step was to travel to the desert country of Alabasta, where Luffy met his brother, Portgas D. Ace. Unlike the goofy Luffy, this adventurer was incredibly powerful, possessing not only a Logia-type Devil Fruit but also the ability to easily defeat various terrifying monsters.
And the adventurer's party was also entering Kurumi and the others' field of vision for the first time - Whitebeard!
Here is a brief introduction: The Whitebeard Pirates are the strongest adventurer crew in the world, without exception!
Afterwards, Luffy and his crew embarked on an adventure with his brother, but they soon encountered Crocodile, thus beginning the real storyline, which features many novel elements, such as dancing powder and banana crocodiles.
These fun things were a real treat for Kurumi and Wendy, and the real showdown with Crocodile took place in this chapter. If the previous episodes were just minor skirmishes, then the ending was absolutely thrilling.
Zoro vs. a Devil Fruit user: Zoro, with his powerful comprehension, mastered the power to cut through steel and the breath of all things, while Luffy defeated this Shichibukai with his unconventional fighting style.
Keqing was slightly taken aback as she watched Zoro master a new sword technique. She murmured, "So swordsmanship can be like this?"
Keqing was a master swordsman, and Su Han had mentioned that certain things in the comics were real. So she had a certain idea, but unfortunately, even though she tried to use her sword several times, she still couldn't grasp the key.
Seeing this, Xingqiu asked, "Do you want to comprehend the power to cut through steel?"
