Thanks to the heavy rain, Qin You and Fang Zhe's part-time job handing out flyers was changed to working inside the mall, and then... they put on mascot costumes.

Qin You was wearing a clown costume, while Fang Zhe was dressed better as a teddy bear.

As a semi-professional part-timer, Fang Zhe already had some experience in distributing flyers. Traditional flyer distribution is extremely inefficient, and to improve efficiency, you have to be innovative; otherwise, why would anyone accept your flyer?

For example, right now, Fang Zhe, dressed in a bear costume, is facing a pillar with a melancholy look on his face, while handing out flyers to passersby. Soon, people are taking them, and he doesn't even need to hand them out. In no time, Fang Zhe has handed out most of the flyers.

In comparison, Qin You had a much worse time. After putting on the mascot costume, he lost his advantage in appearance and also got a rare taste of the hardships of society.

No one answered, still no one answered.

Fang Zhe laughed, thinking to himself, "So you've finally met your match!"

"I've already sent them all, but I haven't finished yet." Fang Zhe took the bear's head off, held it in his hands, his face covered in sweat.

Still dressed in a clown costume, Qin You humbly shook his head, indicating that he hadn't finished distributing the gifts.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to hand out flyers quickly. You can rest for a bit." Fang Zhe reached out and took the remaining flyers from his hand. Judging from the thickness, he hadn't actually handed out many yet.

After some hesitation, Qin You agreed. He also wanted to know how Fang Zhe managed to finish sending it so quickly.

Fang Zhe wiped the sweat from his face, put the bear head he had just placed on the chair back on, and did nothing special. He simply asked Qin You to take off the doll's head and borrow a chair from the young lady across the table.

Qin You was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he did as instructed.

Soon, he borrowed two small stools.

Fang Zhe moved the small stool to the side of the road, sat down, and patted the stool next to him, gesturing for Qin You to sit down as well.

Qin You obediently sat down, and then what?

Then—Fang Zhe struck a seductive sitting pose, legs spread apart, head bowed, hand holding a flyer upwards. Qin You was stunned, but what stunned him even more was the next second, because someone actually came to take the flyer.

Qin, the Clown, the Pitiful, the Helpless, the Weak, You: This is actually possible?

However, it turns out that this really works; this ingenious method is indeed much faster than distributing flyers in the usual way.

In less than three hours, the two successfully completed their work for the day and earned their hard-earned reward—eighty yuan.

After receiving his salary, Qin You went straight to the basement, where there were several affordable men's clothing stores, which would be perfect for a poor boy like him.

Although Fang Zhe didn't buy it, it didn't stop him from going along to take a look.

Today is a weekday, and the mall is less crowded than on Saturdays and weekends, but only slightly less.

The two slum boys gave up after browsing the first store to the second, while Qin You quickly picked out two coats—a black trench coat and a military green parka.

Then, Qin You took off his coat and tried on the size.

It has to be said that trench coats really put a man's physique to the test; if a man is even slightly overweight or short, the difference is like night and day.

Sure enough, just as Qin You put it on, a man wearing the same outfit came out of the dressing room, instantly proving what a stark contrast it was.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the man awkwardly slipped back into the locker room.

Fang Zhe, watching from the side, felt a little envious, but also a sense of pride, thinking, "He's definitely my roommate."

Qin You tried on two pieces, and both sizes were just right, so he decided to keep them.

The two quickly paid, and the two coats cost Qin You over 800 yuan, but this was indeed only considered a reasonable price.

Ah, this money is really worthless. Qin You thought with great bitterness.

However, judging from today's experience alone, it was an interesting one.

Xu Qian received Xiao Qing's WeChat message just after getting off work. The outdoor scenes for the "Stranded" music video had been basically filmed, and the location was right in Kecheng.

Xiaoqing sent a picture that morning. It showed a spot they had found in the villa, called the "Azure Dragon Eye" spot, according to Monk Neil, and its purpose was to protect the main acupoint.

The photos show that the Qinglongyan acupoint has been damaged, but more importantly, they found an inscription on the Qinglongyan acupoint – the seal of Jiuyue.

Nine Mountains...

Xu Qian tapped the table, then looked at the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

He sent Yan Lang a WeChat message saying that he wanted to rest early tonight and that they could talk about anything else tomorrow.

Soon, the other party replied with a "good".

Xu Qian quickly packed his things, switched to his Ming Cult disguise, and jumped out of the window.

...

An hour later, Xu Qian arrived at the foot of Mount Futu.

Due to continuous heavy rain, the road to Futu Mountain has been blocked for nearly three days. Not only is the road blocked, but the cell tower on the mountain also stopped working this afternoon.

Xu Qian's original plan was to use his superior lightness skill to get up there, but plans never keep up with changes. His friend, Miao Ge, was stuck on the tree because his lightness skill was not up to par.

It was... a bit awkward. It took Xu Qian a lot of effort to finally get himself down from the tree; his face was covered in rain and mud, he looked quite disheveled.

Sure enough, when it comes to light-footed skills, it's best to use a profession that suits you, such as his natal sect—Chunyang.

Xu Qian kept the lotus leaf hat on his head, thinking that it would be perfect for keeping out the rain. He was very happy.

After putting on his beloved eggshell, Xu Qian flew towards the mountain.
