Upon hearing that Ye Chen wanted to open a shop near Hope Academy and become a teacher while doing so, and that he didn't want to reveal his identity, Ye Ling immediately took action.
With the identity of the Moon Elf, opening a shop would be quite easy; she could simply open it under the Moon Elf's name, with Ye Chen as the actual controller.
But getting into a school to become a teacher isn't so easy; at least you have to figure out your identity, right?
After discussing it with Ye Chen, they finally decided to send him to work as a librarian at Hope Academy. He would only have to work two days a week in the library. Although the pay wasn't much, it was easy and comfortable, and he could freely browse the books in the library, which was a very enviable privilege.
It's important to know that it's very difficult for ordinary students to borrow books from the library, especially books related to cultivation, which often require special authorization. Paying for knowledge is a recognized rule in the cultivation world, and Ye Chen didn't intend to change it. Time has proven that this method has its merits, so he let it continue.
Nowadays, access to many cultivation-related books in the library has become a reward for learning. Only those who have obtained the corresponding privileges or made certain contributions can use credits to access them.
"A librarian? That's got that hidden master vibe! Okay, let's do it this way!" Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction after receiving the business license and the librarian's work permit. Ye Ling even arranged for two Silver Moon Elves to come and help out, which he didn't refuse, since the store still needed some staff.
With the dust settled, Ye Chen walked into his shop called "The Miracles of the Namiya General Store," a name he had simply borrowed from a movie on Earth, since he didn't actually have anything in particular he wanted to sell.
He didn't open this grocery store to make a profit, but rather to give the students of the academy a place to encounter extraordinary adventures. After all, living in the Cavern of Time for thirty years, they would be bored to death if they didn't find some fun for themselves.
It's just that Hope Academy is doing well right now. Once the Elf Royal Academy in Elf City starts, he plans to open this general store there. Then it will be a simple matter of a word, without the current hassle.
Therefore, the Relief General Store already has an item that is not displayed on the counter: a letter of recommendation for admission to the Elf Royal Academy!
"Sir, the librarian's job is on Wednesdays and Sundays every week. Is that alright?" an elven maid asked, holding up a work pass issued by the library.
“Wednesday and Sunday? Sure! Let’s do it this way, but you need to change how you address me. Don’t call me ‘adult,’ just call me ‘shop manager’ or ‘boss’! After all, I’m the owner of the Relief General Store now!” Ye Chen shrugged nonchalantly. Going to the library every day didn’t really affect him; he was just doing it for fun anyway.
“Yes, boss!” The two elven maids nodded in unison and immediately changed their form of address.
"Oh, right, you were just born yesterday, weren't you? Did Ye Ling name you?" Ye Chen nodded and asked, looking at the two of them.
What he needed here were maids, so he didn't care about strength. Therefore, he directly brought over the two Silver Moon Elves he had recruited yesterday, which would also be a good opportunity to train them from scratch.
However, because of the projection of the Silver Laurel Tree in the Elf King's City, newly born Silver Laurel Moon Elves are born directly in the Elf King's City, so these two Silver Laurel Moon Elves have never seen him.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, we haven't had time to name them yet!" the two Silver Laurel Moon Elves replied.
"Alright, do you have any names you want?" Ye Chen asked, pursing his lips. Seeing the two girls shake their heads, he had no choice but to rack his brains and give them names, otherwise he wouldn't know how to address them normally.
"Alright, I'll name you! Western elves, something simple and easy to remember, Alleria and Vereesa, that's fine. If we have another one later, we'll call her Sylvanas!" Ye Chen racked his brains for a long time, and finally just used the names of the three Windrunner sisters. Naming is such a headache.
"Thank you for bestowing these names upon us, sir!" The two little girls bowed in gratitude. They knew nothing about the Windrunner sisters, but they liked both names very much.
"Alright, remember to call me shopkeeper from now on. If you have nothing else to do, clean up the shop! I should start thinking about what to sell in this general store," Ye Chen said, waving his hand. The two moon elves immediately withdrew and began tidying up the shop, while Ye Chen searched through his treasure trove to see if there was anything he could sell.
He had quite a few items, and they were all of high quality. Even just showing a little of them on the counter would cause a huge uproar in the entire New Aini City and Hope Academy. So he could only "carefully select" some items that wouldn't cause too much of a stir.
"Mithril! This stuff is relatively rare on the Primordial Star, and it has many uses in enchanting, forging, magic, and many other fields. It's worth selling, but the quantity should be small. I remember seeing it sold by the gram in other stores just now, so my few kilograms are a bit of an exaggeration..."
"There seem to be some low-grade magic crystals left. Also, it seems that Ding Siyin has already cultivated quite a few magical beasts on the Primordial Star. Although they are not very powerful yet, low-grade magic cores are still rare. We can put some away!"
"Hmm... the leaves of the Tree of Life can heal life and improve aptitude. They're obviously from the Moon Elves. They shouldn't be too shocking. I'll just sell a hundred of them!"
"Branches of the Crimson Sun Wutong Tree are excellent materials for fire-based spellcasting. Let's put out a few to make a good impression!"
"Ah! This is a dragon scale that Little Yinglong accidentally knocked off the other day. Hiss, it seems that the blue dragons also lost quite a few dragon scales before, but unfortunately we didn't collect them. Should we go find those blue dragons from those days and pluck some out? And then bleed them a little?"
"Could we use phoenix feathers to make the Phoenix Core wand from Hogwarts? There shouldn't be any regional discrimination between East and West, right? Let's put it out here!"
"Speaking of which, how about we steal a few fire crow eggs and sell them as magical pets? Or, if we like them, maybe we could steal some dragon eggs?"
"No, no, there are still too few dragons. Losing one dragon egg would be too conspicuous. Let's wait until they have reproduced for a while before we talk about it."
"But the process of dragons breeding, hatching, and growing takes way too long. By then, I should already be a lowly monk in the Holy Academy. Would there still be a commercial street there?"
"..."
The lord, whose power was gradually turning dark, fell into deep thought...
