Chapter 100 Wind Magic and Express Station 2
Lin Muqiu coughed twice. "The delivery fee is fixed, calculated based on distance and weight. The price list is posted inside. You can just contact the store clerk to place your order."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Wouldn’t it save a lot of trouble if we didn’t need a clerk to give us an estimate?
Social phobia ecstasy!
Lin Muqiu's eyebrows curved, "Well, so who of you wants to try the express delivery service first?"
Everyone froze, feeling something was wrong.
"You go first. I'm broke lately. I'll definitely come next time."
"No, no, no, I don't need that. You should support Master Lin first!"
"Ahem, I'm just asking. Um, wait until everyone is used to it before placing an order. I'm not in a rush."
“…”
Everyone's mutual courtesy successfully made Lin Muqiu raise his eyebrows.
They say they will support her, but in reality they are not willing to contribute a penny. These people have truly inherited her skills!
But what's going on?
Although she was puzzled, she smiled gently. "It's okay. Just come back when you want to send it."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Mr. Lin is considerate, otherwise it would be too embarrassing if I didn’t buy it after being asked, right?
Seeing everyone scatter like birds, Lin Muqiu smiled at the only woman who hadn't left and said, "Hey, you want to send something?"
Grace bit her lip and said, "Yes, Master Lin, I believe you."
Lin Muqiu smiled and asked, "Okay, how much do you want to send?"
Grace began to think seriously, "I want to exchange all the money I earn for food, clothing, and daily necessities, and then send it to my mother. Otherwise, she will definitely not want to spend it. I also want to send my mother a letter."
The words "I can't bear to use it" made Lin Muqiu pause.
After a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Since you trust me so much and you are your first customer, this order is free for you. I will deliver it to you personally and make proofs for the store staff."
"My Lord, there's no need..." Grace was a little panicked, "You won't make any money this way."
"No," Lin Muqiu chuckled, "I still have a big business to do."
Burui still needs her lessons.
Since everyone is still worried, she will start publicity to reassure everyone!

Grace was so happy that her heart was beating like a deer when she got the express delivery number.
Just now, she saw with her own eyes that Lord Lin packed the potions, cotton clothes, copper coins, magic stones, seeds and grains she bought for her mother into a cardboard box, filling it up.
It also filled her heart.
She would never forget the kindness of Mr. Lin. And wasn't the reason she worked so hard to make money just to make life better for those around her?
Her mother was conservative and unwilling to leave her hometown, and she couldn't stand the hardship, so she naturally had to earn more money to buy some good things for her mother.
At that moment, she felt that her life was not lived in vain.
Back to the familiar commercial street, her steps became lighter and she hummed a little tune, looking unusually cheerful.
Elizabeth and her neighbors came over and teased her, "What's going on? Did your child get a perfect score in college?"
Grace smiled widely, her eyes curved into crescents, and she excitedly told the whole story.
This is not a big deal, but I didn't expect that everyone around me would disagree:
"Grace, you're crazy! That's all your belongings. If the mail doesn't go well, won't everything be ruined?"
"Yes, we would rather spend more money and send a caravan to deliver it in person. How dare we do that by wind?"
"Grace, you're usually so reserved, but you're actually quite brave! The courier shop has just opened, and we're still learning by trial and error. Why do you have to be such a sucker?"
“…”
Grace was getting anxious because of what they said, but she didn't know how to defend herself. Her eyes turned red with anxiety. "I'm not a sucker. Lord Lin is very kind!"
Elizabeth was also unhappy. "Hey, if you have any doubts, it's okay, but don't say those discouraging words in front of others! Besides, it's Master Lin who delivered it personally, so what could go wrong? If there really is a problem with the delivery, can Master Lin just ignore it?"
When everyone heard this, they fell silent. Only the aunt who had been rushing to offer advice muttered, "A caravan is still safer. After all, it's delivered in person. Even if it's a little slow, it's safer!"
Ludmila, who was standing next to him, sneered when she heard it.
How stupid!
They said it would be delivered tomorrow, but the journey is so long, no one knows whether it has been delivered or not, right?
Besides, wind spells are so expensive. Is Lin Muqiu crazy? Why would he price them so cheaply? There must be something fishy going on!
But having a caravan deliver the goods isn't always a safe bet! Ultimately, delivering it yourself is the safest option!
With so much belongings, why don’t you deliver them yourself? How stupid!
He didn't say it out loud, the last time he'd been slapped in the face still fresh in his mind. But he still strode with his head held high, acting like the only sober person among the drunken crowd, and went back to his room to pack his bags.
Seeing him enter the room, Elizabeth frowned. "What is this guy going to do? Why does he always like to contradict others?"
The neighbor next to him winked and said, "I heard that he has to travel a long distance to personally give all the money he has earned to his son."
Elizabeth was stunned. "Ah? Then why don't you remind him? It's safer to let the caravan or Lord Lin's express station deliver it. Other towns are not as safe as Ankang Town. There are often thieves!"
And what's so good about this?
The neighbor sneered, "Forget it, this guy has a problem with his thinking. He kicked his son out of the house because he was not doing well. His daughter is very good to him, but he doesn't care at all and is still only good to his son. Don't you think he is weird! This kind of person doesn't know what is good and what is bad. He won't appreciate your help!"
Elizabeth gritted her teeth in indignation.
If I put this in my own daughter's shoes, I really can't tolerate it!
Seeing Ludmila come out, she couldn't help but yell, "Be nice to your daughter!"
Pursing her lips, she finally added, "Other towns are not like Ankang Town. The public security is chaotic, and there are many murders for money. If you can't bear to pay for a caravan, it's best to go through Lord Lin's express station!"
Ludmila rolled her eyes. "What do you care? You're just a bunch of Lin Muqiu brainwashing bastards!"
"You..." Elizabeth was furious.
How could this guy be so ungrateful? I told him something kindly, but he didn't appreciate it!
Just as he was about to curse at him, his sleeve was pulled.
Grace's quiet voice came from the side, reminding him, "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. You've done your duty to remind him. Whether he listens or not is up to him."
Elizabeth was speechless and finally swallowed back what she was about to say.
Forget it, this person doesn't trust Lord Lin Muqiu, so it's only a matter of time before he suffers losses.

In the wild, a collection team is collecting.
To be precise, it is the kind that collects from a whole tree.
The wizard was holding a wind magic stone and blowing the apple tree up by the roots.
A companion's voice came from the side, "Be gentle, be even gentler! Don't damage the tree's roots. We still have to transplant it and make money!"
"How about you come?" The mage rolled his eyes. All he did was nag around him all day long. Isn't that annoying!
The plant-based companion was also a little anxious. "We agreed on a division of labor. I'll provide the magic stone, you transport the tree back, and I'll transplant it and ensure it survives. If you can't do it well in the early stages, all my efforts will be in vain!"
The mage curled his lips, knowing that he was telling the truth.
They are counting on making money by helping large growers transplant apple trees!
You will only get 6 copper coins if a tree survives. If it fails, all your efforts will be in vain and you won’t get any copper coins.
So, he must be extremely careful.
He swallowed and used the spell more gently.
He must seize the opportunity to make a fortune, otherwise he may not have such a good cooperation opportunity in the future!
Besides, he also needs to practice wind magic and buy a magic stone. Now someone just happened to give one to him, so he will make a fortune!
Thank you, Lord Lin, for the magic stone!
After half a day of torment, he finally used the magic stone to create a whole tree, and was exhausted.
Fortunately, all we have to do next is use the magic stone to blow the tree into the town, which is not difficult.
The two boys gulped down the water, feeling much better, and began to chatter:
"The Philosopher's Stone is incredibly useful! It saves us a lot of work! It takes others half an hour to transplant a tree, but it only takes us 10 minutes," the wizard exclaimed in admiration. "But we're the only ones who could think of using the Philosopher's Stone to make money!"
The plant department's companion curled his lips. "Don't be ridiculous! Didn't Grace give you this inspiration when she was transplanting trees? If you ask me, Master Lin is the best, right? He connected the Philosopher's Stone to moving and delivery, and he figured it out all on his own!"
"Honestly, I'm not optimistic." The wizard curled his lips. "Using wind to deliver goods, what if it hits a building? Too unsafe! Besides, she's too ambitious and wants to expand her business across the East, but she has no other influence in the East! Hey, why did it suddenly get dark?"
"I think it might not hit the building." The plant companion said quietly.
"Why?"
"Look up."
Hearing his companion's instructions, the mage was stunned for a moment before looking up.
In the distant sky, a whirring, swift, sharp tornado hung. In its eye, a gigantic cardboard box sat, surrounded by a golden protective shield. Printed on it was a large, dazzling golden "Grade" logo, as ugly as Lin Muqiu's own handwriting: [Shipped by Lin Muqiu's Magic Stone Express Store.]
Mage:?
Very good, now he knows how Lin Muqiu promoted it, especially the calligraphy, which is obviously Lin Muqiu's handwriting, and it is hard to forget it.
This is hard to judge...
Plant companion:?
As expected, a truly strong person never complains about the environment, so is this a 360-degree patrol of the entire town on the mainland?

The Bu family town, the lord's hall.
"You took such a risk that day. Do you know that you almost became the target of public criticism?" Blitz said angrily.
"Brother, take a break." Bu Rui picked his ears exaggeratedly, "My ears are almost callused."
Blitzcrank was silent out of anger.
There’s really nothing we can do about him!
Bu Rui walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "Brother, the ending is good, isn't it? Besides, Lin Muqiu promised to sell me the course. Our territory will soon be able to receive the nourishment of new knowledge. Isn't that good?"
"How dare you ask that?" Blitzcrank was furious. "Before you spend your fortune, can you please ask me first?"
"Don't worry." Bu Rui patted his shoulder, mysteriously, "Mrs. Lin said that since this is our first cooperation, she will give us free shipping."
"Is she so kind?" Blitz frowned. "Why did I hear she was a complete miser?"
"Maybe the rumors are wrong," Bu Rui analyzed seriously, "I think she is a very special lady. She solemnly promised that day that she would personally deliver the express to our doorstep, and it will arrive today."
Blitzcrank was very confused. "Personally? Did you hear wrongly?"
Lin Muqiu is so busy with his work, and he comes here just to make such a little money. What's the point?
"Maybe..." When he talked about her, Bri's cheeks flushed, "I supported her that day, and she wanted to thank me in person."
Blitzcrank: "You have such a big face."
Bu Rui: "..."
What kind of double entendre is this?
As the two were talking, a guard's voice came from outside the window, "Uh, sir, your express delivery has arrived."
"Oh, let him bring it in." Bri then looked at his brother with a smug look, "Now you should believe it, right?"
"Uh, sir," the guard outside the door still stammered, "we can't get it. You should go and get it yourself."
Bri was stunned for a moment.
Huh? Master Lin has a strong sense of professional ethics?!
Blitzcrank was also stunned for a moment.
He couldn't even get the guards? Could it be that he was wrong and Lord Lin really came?
They looked at each other and made up their minds, so they didn't get angry. Instead, they just went out with a smile, ready to welcome Lin Muqiu.
The moment I opened the door, the world fell silent.
Blitz said quietly, "Is this what you said, that Lord Lin personally sent it?"
Looking at the tornado in front of him, Bu Rui was carrying the express delivery: "..."
No, who taught her to send a package like this?!
Some strange, scattered memories vaguely came to his mind, and he suddenly convulsed. What Lin Muqiu said to him mysteriously that day was: "You don't need someone else to send it", "It will arrive soon", "The quality is guaranteed to satisfy you".
When these key words were put together, he naturally thought of her delivering it personally.
No, the key point is who would have thought it was Feng Song?!
No, is she okay? Huh?
