Chapter 115 Takeaways, Flyers, and Contact Books (Part 1)
When Jiangyou walked out of the door of the Raven Post Office, he was holding a bone cage in his left hand and a gift equipment box in his right hand. There was a bone eagle standing on his shoulder, and a multi-purpose bird stand half-held and half-sandwiched between his humerus and ribs. The stand was made in the shape of a tree, with a coconut shell hut, a bed, a ladder, a swing, and pillars tied with hemp ropes for sharpening claws and beaks. It looked like a super deluxe cat climbing frame, and the price was also very good, costing Jiangyou ten silver coins.
——The lich now seems to have turned into the shape of a silly owner who has just obtained his favorite pet. He wants to buy any good things for his baby when he sees them.
With the help of Lorisa and Meili, Jiangyou finally managed to transport all the objects back to her temporary room - these things were large and numerous and could not be reduced in size, nor could they be stuffed into the skull, so they had to be sent back first.
"Phew, I'm so tired." She fiddled with the huge standing frame for a long time before finally placing it. She wiped away the non-existent sweat and looked at her little rice cake with eyes full of love and relief. "This way, little rice cake will have a place to sleep while we go shopping!"
However, Xiao Nian Gao didn't even look at the stand. She flapped her wings and flew to Jiangyou's head, and nestled down comfortably on the snow-white skull, as if she was very satisfied with this egg-shaped nest.
Jiang You: "..." Why does this white-bone falcon have the personality of a tsundere little kitten?
However, Jiangyou also likes the tsundere little cat. It feels like raising two races with one pet. Isn’t that a huge profit?
You should be frugal when you should be frugal, and you should not be stingy when you should spend money. Jiangyou feels that this new pet is worth buying. It is not only cute, but also can make money for him!
But, speaking of making money...
Jiang You pulled out the flyers she'd printed earlier. Most of them had been distributed, leaving only a thin stack. It was a shame she hadn't known about the Raven Cage Number and food delivery service when she printed them. If she'd signed up for the Raven service and printed the cage number on the flyers, her food delivery service would have become famous with all the customers returning. She couldn't imagine how much more prosperous her business would be in the future.
——Hey, wait, that doesn’t seem right. What if the takeout business is too popular and she and Xiao Nian Gao can’t handle it?
Perhaps setting a specific opening time for takeout would be a better idea? Just during the shop's busiest hours? Having Xiao Nian Gao deliver food would require soul fire. She could certainly use the spirit wood to absorb soul fire while cooking, but that didn't seem very cost-effective. The most convenient and reasonable option would be to charge customers who wanted to order takeout a soul fire delivery fee, right?
Jiang You clutched the flyer and fell into deep thought. Lolisa looked at her quietly for a while, then couldn't help but ask, "Xiao You, is there something bothering you?"
"Oh, nothing much, just thinking about how to start a takeout business." She sighed, "It would be great if I could add the "Raven Cage" to the flyers I've already sent out..."
Lolisa blinked her eyes and said, "Sure~"
"...I was just saying it casually. This kind of thing is impossible just by thinking about it... Eh? Eh? What did you say?" Jiang You was still mumbling, when she suddenly realized what Lolita had said. She looked up at the little witch, her eyes burning with anticipation: "Is it really possible?!"
"It works. You asked the dwarves to print these flyers, right?" Lolita reached out and took a flyer, flipping it over. "Look, each batch of flyers made by the dwarves has a customer number. With this, as long as you have a flyer, you can cast the [Editing Spell] on the same batch of printed materials and repeatedly modify the content of the flyer. The spell takes effect immediately, and you can use it to publish information at will. That's why the dwarves' flyers are not cheap."
"Can the content be modified at will?!" Jiang You said in shock.
"You can't say it's random," said Lolita. "The amount of ink that makes up the handwriting is constant. No matter how you modify it, you have to take this into account. If you add too much text, the ink will fade, or even run out of ink to print."
She smiled and said, "This magic was originally created by a publisher who often made typos. He owed me a lot of money for wine, so he used this magic to pay it off. Although this magic is not very useful in daily life, I thought it was quite interesting, so I agreed."
"I see!" But this magic is also very useful!
Having experienced the convenience brought by instant messaging apps in his previous life, Jiangyou couldn't help but have a wild imagination: "Wait a minute, if several people know this kind of editing magic, and prepare a few sheets of paper from the same batch, soaked half in ink, wouldn't it be possible to realize remote instant letter chatting?!" And no one would be able to find out?
Lolisa paused abruptly. She carefully followed Jiangyou's thoughts and murmured, "Maybe it really will work!"
"It's worth a try!" Jiang You said excitedly, "Think about it, the branch and the main store are so far apart that communication is difficult. But if we have this thing, we can get two sets of notebooks and communicate instantly. Isn't this super convenient?!"
The three girls immediately got to work: Lolisa taught the artisan You magic and revised the flyers; while Mary went to the market to find the printer Jinx Pinx. Dwarves usually came early and left late, and they guessed that Jinx should still be there, so if they hurried they should be able to catch up.
After a busy period, the flyer revisions were complete, and Takumiu had successfully mastered the niche magic of the "Editing Spell." It revitalized the ink from typos, reorganizing it into new text. The more corrections needed, the more mana was consumed. All changes applied to the same batch of printed materials, and the larger the number of copies, the more mana was consumed.
only……
Jiang You tilted his head, feeling a bit worried. "This kind of magic may be useful, but will it be abused for bad things?"
At the very least, they can tamper with the contract, and at the worst, they can change a whole batch of books... Although it requires a lot of magic power, who can guarantee that there are bad people like this?
"Normally," Lolisa said calmly. "The dwarves tried to exploit this loophole before, but were punished by the Kingdom's Knights. Since then, there's been a practice of contract witnessing. Don't be fooled by the fact that witnesses appear to be just watching from the sidelines; they actually cast a protective spell on the contract they witness, and this spell is very difficult to break.
"Officially published books are also protected by anti-tampering magic. Booksellers typically use this editing magic during final review... As for flyers, not many ordinary people know how to use this kind of magic. People wouldn't waste so much magic power on such trivial matters. Magic power is very precious!"
