7 PM.
The twilight is deepening, coinciding with the end of the workday for many nine-to-five employees.
Su Yuniang also wrapped up her day at the blacksmith shop, took a deep breath, hurried to shower, and then eagerly started her live stream.
At tonight's bonfire party, they had another final discussion and summary on how to present themselves in the best possible state to tackle the rchants coming tomorrow.
Jiucai Rong secretly ordered Food God not to prepare anything extravagant for dinner, so everyone would be more spirited for tomorrow.
Food God expressed his intent to save those ideas and sell them to the rchants instead.
A secret PY deal was struck instantly between them.
Since discovering the food safety issue among staff, Jiucai Rong had been secretly indulging Food God.
From his perspective, although this would harm the blacksmith's interests,
it would boost spending in the canteen and infirmary, stimulate economic growth, and propel the developnt of the manor's industry.
More profits are possible without a conscience!
Everything is for the Lord of the Manor!
"Live stream writing 'Strategy Guide for Pingchang City rchants' Events'"
After typing this line in the live stream, Su Yuniang started playing today's recordings on the side, opened the ga forum, and began typing.
She completely ignored the audience in the live stream.
Her audience is used to this; the more attention they get, the more lively they beco, the more curses, the more addicted they get.
But speaking of which, she hasn't cursed anyone in a long ti.
After all, the ga lacks any storyline of NPC enemy battles, leaving her — once a loud-mouthed fighter — practicing silent ditation for a long ti, unable to display her mop-wielding War God combat skills!
She started typing:
"First of all, let remind the players again, please stay normal tomorrow, stay normal, stay normal! Important things said three tis!"
"If not mistaken, after this main storyline, the old steward will reward again, with another 100 people, so outsiders will soon be able to co in."
"So success is a must! You can check the previous announcents I posted, they are worth learning to avoid mishaps with rchants."
....
Below the manor.
Ning Zheng just finished dinner too and sat at the well to fish, secretly browsing the forum to see their reactions.
He naturally spotted the evaluation at first glance.
Curious, he casually glanced at the evaluations Su Yuniang had posted a few days ago to see what she had shared.
Found her to be an unfeeling posting machine. After communicating with Su Yuniang from Embers, she started crazily leaking information from below the mountain.
"Daily Life Tips for Blending into Human Villages"
"How to Laugh Like a Human"
"Thirty-seven Behaviors to Disguise as a Common Farr"
"How to Pretend You're Peeing"
"Three Baiting Tricks for Fisherman"
"This Brother Ning Zheng is Really Handso, Just Doesn't Like to Talk"
"Watch Closely, This is How Twin-tails are Used"
...
Ning Zheng felt a toothache.
After mixing in the forum for a few days, he knew such people are usually called spam-posting maniacs.
But doing this really does resemble a ghost.
Seems like it's the only way?
After all, they don't really resemble natives, so disguising as normal people is the only feasible approach.
He casually clicked on the final post "Watch Closely, This is How Twin-tails are Used", not sothing else.
Mainly because he didn't quite understand when she previously remarked "Twin-tails are the Best in the World", and took this chance to glean so information about future society.
The post contained only two simple sketched hand-drawn images.
Su Yuniang, with hands supporting the door, clenched teeth, being held from behind by Ning Jiaojiao, who pulled her twin-tails backward, arduously gleaning grains of rice.
The two of them looked exceedingly diligent.
Then the next hand-drawn image depicted the duo squatting in the kitchen, peeling shells.
Ning Zheng: "..."
Turns out when I was cultivating, this guest was helping cook in the kitchen like this.
Su Yuniang: "Study those posts carefully, on how to play a normal native."
"Tomorrow, for blacksmiths who wish to trade with rchants, tell and Jiucai Rong, we'll help you negotiate. If you truly can't resist creating chaos, just hide in the warehouse to chat, play cards, smoke."
Smoking.
The smoke is a snack crafted by Food God.
Earthen pipe, opportunely kiln-fired with forge furnace, as the na implies, after smoking, the pipe can be directly eaten, currently available in chocolate flavor, cheese flavor, extrely delicious.
And those who've smoked say they've seen their grandmother.
Su Yuniang: "Finally, I'd like to ntion briefly, this ga possibly has special effects on brainwaves, I feel better ntally after opening Three Flowers, sleep more comfortably, the whole person feels pretty good."
"Asked other blacksmiths, they said the sa, feeling much healthier."
"My preliminary guess is this ga is indeed health-promoting, those books we read are quite useful, all Taoist theories, enlightennt, understanding self, learning to ditate, breathing thods, resolving the 996 stress and ntal burnout issues of modern people, indeed feels comfortable."
"Feels like having a psychologist."
"I suggest you can read those Immortal Cultivation books, even if not entering the ga, it's beneficial to personal ntal and physical well-being."
Post ends here.
Ning Zheng silently observed the forum, discovering their earnestness in approaching the matter.
...
...
Pingchang City.
"Finally back."
A mature woman carrying a leopard-shaped demon beast walked along the street, exuding an air of fierce beauty.
The street was lined with shops of various rchandise.
Many scholars dressed in bookworm robes, cultivators in Taoist robes, and young won in gauze skirts ca and went.
The whole place emanated the atmosphere of a scholarly ancient town.
In this era, everything else is of lower grade; only reading is esteed.
Soon, the woman arrived at the old-brand shop "Flower-Blooming Forging Workshop".
In this world, opening Three Flowers signifies entering the Immortal Sect, with expressions like blossoming wealth, flower... many shops use such auspicious phrases, primarily for good fortune.
Bang!
The woman directly tossed the leopard onto the table.
"Wow, quite a harvest."
The shopkeeper looked up briefly.
This veteran shopkeeper was evidently a cultivator of Three-Body Realm. His head appeared youthful and handso, while his exposed hands were pale and jade-like, yet his feet were frail and emaciated, marked with age spots.
In summary, only the hands and head were youthful.
"Three-Floral Leopard."
Zhang Huaping coldly spoke: "Only its heart is wounded, overall in pristine condition."
An elder chuckled, carefully inspected the wound,
"Pristine condition indeed, only the heart wounded, thirty Magic Coins, I'll add another three for you; visit again next ti."
The woman nodded; the price was already quite good.
Spent over a week stalking, finally succeeding in ambush. These thirty Magic Coins equate to a good half-month's worth of regular hunting earnings.
Zhang Huaping counted, confirming it was indeed thirty-three coins, cautiously stuffing them into her belt pouch, thinking about picking up her daughter from private school.
"Wait." The shopkeeper abruptly called to her: "I have a job, will you take it?"
"What kind of job?" Zhang Huaping asked.
"Going to Sword Casting Demon Manor."
The shopkeeper exhaled so muddy Qi and said, "The chief shopkeeper ssaged , a batch of Magic Artifact Coarse Embryos likely accumulated there again."
