"Boss, someone outside is looking for you."
One day, just as Jiang Mu was figuring out how to explain his origins to Qi Xing, Ma Yanqiao came knocking on his door.
Looking for me?
Jiang Mu was delighted.
To the outside world, he appears to be just an ordinary child, with nothing particularly outstanding about him.
If there's anything special about it, then maybe we could add some... well, like the prefix "wealthy"?
However, recently the system has taken away most of the Mora he had.
So, what does the system need Mora for?
Jiang Mu stared into thought at the endless power supply (heh heh), wireless air conditioner, fan, and other appliances in the room.
The system is offering amazing items, but the prices aren't exactly affordable...
After leaving the sofa, Jiang Mu asked Ma Yanqiao.
"Yanqiao, do you know who it is?"
Jiang Mu discovered that ever since the Zheng family's matter was resolved, the "long-term worker" he had hired was showing more and more potential to be a housekeeper.
He had managed the entire farm perfectly.
This guy even used his family connections to attract some young people who had originally left Qingce Village back to work as farmers on the farm.
Of course, Jiang Mu paid for the hiring.
However, this gave Jiang Mu the means to lease the entire terraced fields of Qingce Village and plant the appropriate crops according to local conditions.
For example, there are special offerings such as Jueyun peppers and lotus roots for Wanmintang, or Liuli lilies for Wangshengtang.
Although there was some unpleasantness with Old Master Hu, the business still had to be done, right?
Moreover, with the help of the constant temperature room and cultivation methods provided by the system, he successfully enabled crops such as glass lilies to mature within 48 hours.
Moreover, with the help of the sugar-making machine and material recipes in the system's store, Jiang Mu successfully made various kinds of fancy candies using sugar extracted from sweet flowers.
What? You're saying the candy contains artificial coloring?
No, no, no, thinking that way is too low-level. With the help of the system, Jiang Mu successfully found the "ancestors" of some fruits and successfully "domesticated" them into edible varieties, and carried out large-scale cultivation.
Based on the system's formula, Jiangmu successfully developed some novel fruit juice gummies.
For example, orange flavor, mint flavor, milk flavor, apple flavor, sweet flower flavor, and saffron flavor...
Wait, did something weird just sneak in...?
Cough cough, never mind.
In short, Jiangmu has now rented a shop in Liyue Harbor and sells these fancy candies.
However, these fancy little gadgets are very popular with children, and every day the little ones drag their parents to buy them. This makes many parents both love and hate Jiang Mu's new invention.
Because once they've tasted the new benefits of ginger wood, then...
As a result, ginger wood candy's new fans have been on the rise, which has made many of its peers both envious and jealous.
To prevent malicious competition, Jiang Mu had no choice but to implement a daily supply limit, which finally silenced his competitors.
In addition, the seasonings that Jiangmu gave to Wanmintang allowed the people of Liyue Harbor to experience the flavors of otherworldly cuisine.
All of this is wonderful.
But all of that vanished the moment Jiang Mu saw the newcomer.
Her long purple hair was tied into cat ears on top of her head, with the rest tied into pigtails that hung down her back. A sword called "Dragon's Roar" was clipped to her waist. Her clothes were mainly light purple, and her long, shapely legs were wrapped in black stockings, which only accentuated their length.
The visitor was none other than Ke Qing, the Jade Balance Star among the Seven Stars.
"Greetings, Lord Yuheng." Jiang Mu dared not be negligent and quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
"No need for formalities." Ke Qing dodged his greeting and then frowned.
"I have come on the orders of Lord Ningguang of Tianquan Star to bring my friend from another world to Qunyu Pavilion for a chat."
"Qunyu Pavilion!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yanqiao's eyes lit up.
"Boss, it's actually the Jade Pavilion! That's the dream place for so many merchants..."
"Boss?" Ke Qing frowned slightly as she looked at the two strange guys in front of her.
"That person must be the only son of the Ma family. Why would he come here and mistake this guy, who is obviously younger than him, for his superior?"
However, Keqing, who came from a noble family, only frowned slightly and did not ask any further questions.
After all, anything is possible for this friend from another world—these are the Emperor's own words, and the recent commercial boom in Liyue Harbor is also inextricably linked to him.
"I wonder what business Lord Ningguang has with me?" Jiang Mu chuckled dryly. "If it's because you're dissatisfied with my recent behavior, I can simply close the shop immediately. There's no need for Lord Ningguang to personally receive me..."
"I'm sorry," Ke Qing shook her head slightly, "I don't know much about this either. But I think..."
After a slight hesitation, Ke Qing continued.
"That Lord Tianquan probably wants to cooperate with you, after all, it is the Emperor's decree."
"To engage in business cooperation..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu felt more confident.
I'm currently short on cash, and I know that some of the things I did in Liyue Harbor will definitely be found out by this "money-grubbing" Lord Tianquan through her network of connections. Then, given her personality, she'll naturally come to ask for my cooperation.
“I understand, but I wonder about my brother…”
Jiang Mu looked at Ma Yanqiao, somewhat embarrassed.
You should know that for a businessman, ascending to the Jade Pavilion was his ultimate dream.
Ma Yanqiao understood Jiang Mu's meaning and was filled with excitement, glad that he had followed the right person.
But Ke Qing's next words chilled his passionate heart.
"I'm sorry." Ke Qing shook her head slightly. "Ning Guang only invited you."
"It's alright, boss," Ma Yanqiao waved his hand and said calmly.
"Go quickly! Receiving an invitation from Lady Ningguang is something many people would only dream of."
However, the subtle regret in his tone had already revealed his true thoughts...
"Oh well……"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mu could only nod.
"Then, please follow me."
Seeing that Jiang Mu had made a decision, Ke Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If this friend is unwilling to go with them, then according to the contract, they cannot forcibly take them away, which would be awkward for both of them.
Fortunately, it seems this person isn't so unreasonable.
………………
"That's amazing."
Jiang Mu sighed.
In this ancient and charming land of Liyue, there is such a magical artifact.
This is their assessment of the "elevator" they had just ridden.
"This is just a simple application of pumice."
Ke Qing said modestly.
"That's incredible enough."
"You're too kind."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, the massive building finally appeared before them.
"This is... the Jade Pavilion..."
"Friends from another world".
Suddenly, a mature and slightly seductive voice rang out.
"Welcome to my palace—"
"Qunyu Pavilion".
