I'm a male god in Liyue

"Boss, do you want money?"

"Of course it's free. You're a shop assistant, why should you pay for drinks from your own shop? You can drink whenever you want. This is one of our shop's benefits."

"Great!"

A glass of rainbow juice costs 100 moras. If you drink one glass a day, that's 30 glasses a month, which is equivalent to an extra 3000 moras in hidden income.

Of course, money doesn't matter, the main thing is being able to drink the world's best juice every day!

Zhu Zi looked up at the beautiful starry sky and felt that life in the future would be wonderful.

Chapter Forty-Four: What is an Unexpected Surprise?

After returning from her walk in the port area, Zhu Zi turned on the four-panel lamp in the shop and looked at Xia Zhi expectantly, calling out softly in a coquettish tone, "Boss, the juice you promised."

Xia Zhi smiled and shook his head, walked into the table, took out two clean cups, and began to mix.

A tiny drop of liquid falls into clear water and instantly turns it into a rainbow of colors.

This was the second time Zhu Zi had seen this scene, but he still couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Xia Zhi handed over a glass of rainbow juice and said, "Okay, here you go."

"thank you boss!"

Zhu Zi happily accepted the cup, carefully holding it in both hands.

She first lowered her head and admired the colorful juice in the glass for a while, then brought her nose close to the rim of the glass, inhaling the strange aroma emanating from it with a sense of intoxication, before finally picking up the glass and taking a small sip.

"Whoa! Boss!"

"what happened?"

"This juice tastes different from the one I had this morning!"

"That's how it's supposed to be. Is it good?"

"It tastes really good!"

"Yes, that's what makes our juice so special; every glass tastes unique."

"Wouldn't that mean there would be surprises every day?"

"correct."

"Wow……"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zi's face was filled with anticipation.

I knew that leaving Inazuma was the right choice; otherwise, I wouldn't have this opportunity for happiness now!

Zhu Zi turned his head and his gaze fell on the poster he had written on the wall.

"boss!"

"Ok?"

"I think our juice is too cheap at 100 Mora!"

"..."

"This price is an insult to it!"

"..."

"boss!"

Xia Zhi smiled helplessly: "Alright, let's set the price like this for now, a little cheaper is fine."

Zhu Zi pursed her lips, having no choice but to give up trying to persuade him: "Okay, boss."

After taking a couple of sips of juice, Zhu Zi suddenly remembered that the clothes she had washed the night before were still drying in the open space behind the house. Reluctantly, she put down her cup, told Xia Zhi, and ran to the back to collect the clothes.

Xia Zhi stood alone at the table, feeling a little bored.

He looked around, his probing gaze landing on the cup on the table where Zhu Zi had drunk from, where he could see a damp mark on the rim of the cup.

Under the soft light of the four-panel lamp, this luster seemed strangely alluring.

Xia Zhi shook his head, chuckled, and realized that his thoughts had gone a bit astray.

I guess it's because I ate slime dishes at Wanmintang these past two days, so I ate too much protein.

Xia Zhi took a couple of sips of juice and waited quietly for a while before Zhu Zi came back from behind carrying the dried clothes.

She first placed them on a clean stool, then selected his clothes, folded them neatly one by one, and brought them to him: "Boss, these are your clothes."

Xia Zhi reached out and took it, nodding, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Zi smiled and said, "There's no hardship involved, it's just something I did casually."

She returned to the stool, carefully folded all her clothes one by one, and then went back to the table to continue drinking her juice with a happy expression.

Xia Zhi watched her do these things from the side and nodded in approval. He could tell from these little things that Zhu Zi was a girl who was not lazy and had a lot of self-discipline.

With such excellent staff, his future business life will surely be much easier and less stressful.

It was late at night. Xia Zhi finished washing up and returned to her room upstairs.

Take out the [Blazing Incense Burner] and use the alchemy techniques from last night to extract the spices and create a [Perfect Soothing Incense].

It has a regular shape and is crystal clear.

Xia Zhi took it in his hand, gently rubbed its surface, and played with it for a while before putting it away without lighting it.

The reason he lit the incense the previous two nights was to test the effects of the [Calming Incense] and the [Perfect Calming Incense].

In fact, he himself doesn't really need the calming effect of incense. Although it smells nice, at most it can only make his thoughts clearer when he is writing and help him sleep more soundly.

Although he made this incense himself, it was already considered an extraordinary item, and he could recycle 1 point from it in the system.

If one were to simply consume something worth ten million Mora just to get a better night's sleep, that would seem rather extravagant.

Let's keep it for now.

I'll cut off a small piece tomorrow morning to treat Qiqi. With such careful planning, one serving of [Perfect Calming Incense] should last for four or five days, which should be enough to fill up Qiqi's progress bar.

Just then, soft footsteps came from outside the door as people went upstairs.

It is Zhu Zi.

Then came the sound of the door opening and locking.

This girl is still quite wary.

That's good. Girls should protect themselves properly when they're out in public.

Xia Zhi smiled, tidied up the spices on the table, took out paper and pen, and continued writing his novel.

He has no financial pressure now and doesn't need to rely on this novel to make money. Being able to write the story slowly according to his own ideas and pace is also a kind of enjoyment for him.

As night deepened, Xia Zhi put down her pen, stretched, and went to bed.

At one point, a slender white shadow passed through the wall next door once again.

She looked eager, but then suddenly frowned, sensing that things weren't quite what she expected.

There seemed to be nothing she wanted in the air of the room tonight.

Hey?

Where is my fragrance?

Why do I smell so good and taste so delicious?

She floated to the table, brought her head close to the incense burner, and examined it carefully.

It's ice cold!

There's nothing inside!

I searched the table carefully again.

No!

There was nothing there except a stack of papers with writing on them.

Undeterred, she continued pacing around the room.

After searching around, I couldn't find any finished incense except for some spices.

She turned her head sharply and looked at Xia Zhi lying on the bed.

hateful!

Where did you hide the incense?!

Why did we suddenly stop lighting incense tonight?

Isn't this making things difficult for me?

She floated to the bedside, looked down at the sleeping Xia Zhi, and had a resentful look on her face.

I really want to shake him awake and ask him what happened!
