I'm a male god in Liyue

"The second thing is that my shop is planning to add a takeout service, which requires a stable supplier of bamboo and reeds. However, I am not familiar with this area. Ms. Yanfei has a wide network of connections. Could you give me some advice?"

"That's easy. I know a few businessmen who do this kind of business. They're pretty good people, and I can introduce them to you."

"Thank you very much, Miss Yanfei. I will also need your help with the subsequent contracts. Of course, I will pay you according to the rules."

"Easy to say."

"I'll treat Miss Yanfei to juice again later."

"it is good!"

Go up the stairs to Wanwen Collection House, chat with Ji Fang for a few words, and then go to the Liyue Publishing House next door.

This is a room that resembles an office, with several tables piled high with books, and several editors sitting behind the tables, engrossed in their work.

Ji Fang knocked on the door and said, "Amei, an author has come to submit a manuscript."

One of the women, wearing glasses, looked up at the newcomer and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Ji Fang pointed at Xia Zhi and said, "This is Mr. Xia."

Did you bring your manuscript?

"Brought it."

"I need to review the quality of the article before deciding whether to accept it."

"Ah."

Xia Zhi handed her the manuscript.

"Please sit here and wait a moment."

"it is good."

Amei sat at the table, opened the manuscript, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"This opening is quite different from the current popular writing style in Liyue, and it seems rather original."

"Immortal power? Could it be from a cultivation novel?"

"The fiancée came to break off the engagement... This part is written with great atmosphere..."

"The ring, the soul of an immortal..."

At first, Ah Mei would mutter a few comments to herself, but as she gradually became immersed in the story, she became quiet.

Xia Zhi sat patiently and waited.

Upon seeing this, Yan Fei couldn't help but become curious about the manuscript.

After about ten minutes, Amei quickly finished reading the entire manuscript. She looked up, still somewhat unsatisfied, and said, "Mr. Xia, your manuscript is very well written."

Thank you for your recognition.

"This is a completely new writing style, and it may even create a new genre in Liyue. I think it has great potential, and our publishing house would love to work with you."

"I am also very willing to cooperate with your company."

"Well, let's talk about signing the contract."

"Okay, due to health reasons, I have asked Ms. Yanfei to handle it for me. You can talk to her."

Yan Fei stood up and walked over, a smile on her face: "Hello, Editor Mei."

Amei naturally recognized this well-known lawyer, and the corner of her eye twitched slightly behind her glasses.

No, it's just a novel. Do you really need to call in this lawyer?

Her appearance fee is so high, your monthly royalties probably wouldn't even be enough to cover it, right?

It seems the publisher won't gain anything this time.

Newcomers are truly monsters...

Amei took out a standard contract.

Yan Fei read it carefully and offered her opinions on some parts that she thought were unreasonable.

After some negotiation, the two finally reached a consensus.

After revising the contract, Amei said to him, "Mr. Xia, let's sign the contract then."

Xia Zhi nodded, walked over, and picked up a pen: "Okay."

"Please sign your name here, along with your pen name."

"A pen name..."

"Have you not decided on a pen name yet?"

"It's okay, I've already thought it through."

As Xia Zhi spoke, he wrote a slightly longer line of text on it.

Yan Fei glanced curiously at the pen name he had come up with on the spot.

"Rainy night...carrying a knife...but no umbrella? What a strange pen name."

"Miss Yanfei finds this strange?"

"Hmm, this pen name feels a bit long, like the naming style of Inazuma, but the imagery of this sentence is very Liyue."

"Editor Mei, is this alright?"

"That's fine. Here are two copies of the contract. Please keep them safe."

"I wonder when this book will be available for sale?"

"It should be ready by the end of next month. You can leave your address, and our publishing house can send you a copy in advance once the book is printed."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you."

After the signing was completed, Xia Zhi and Yan Fei took their leave.

As they walked out of the publishing house, Yan Fei looked at him and asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Xia, who wrote that manuscript?"

"I write."

"..."

"I really wrote it."

"..."

"Well, actually, I have a friend who likes to write books. Before I came to Liyue, he gave me his manuscript, hoping that more people could see it."

"I see."

Yan Fei nodded in sudden realization.

"Editor Mei was very persistent during the negotiations just now. She seemed to be very optimistic about the manuscript and felt that even the slightest concession would result in significant losses in the future."

"If Miss Yanfei is interested in it, how about buying a copy from Wanwen Bookstore next month when it's available?"

"Great! I hope it will surprise people just like the rainbow juice."

You shouldn't be disappointed.

"Then, I'll take you to find those merchants."

The two walked down the stairs, chatting and laughing, and came to the street of Feiyunpo.

At this moment, Yan Fei seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head to look at the distance behind her.

There stood a tall, elegant, white-haired woman.

Xia Zhi noticed that Yan Fei suddenly turned around and stood still, which seemed a bit strange.

"Miss Yanfei, what's wrong?"

“There’s a woman staring at us, no, she’s staring at you.”

"I?"

Xia Zhi turned around, but within a 20-meter detection range, he did not see the woman Yan Fei had mentioned.

"Does Miss Yanfei know her?"

"I don't know her, but she feels somewhat familiar to me, a bit like an immortal."

"Fairy?"

She's walking towards you.

"?"

After a moment, the strange woman entered Xia Zhi's detection range.

She was a beautiful woman, like an iceberg snow lotus, with long, snow-white hair tied into a braid with a red rope, at the center of which was an icy divine eye. She wore a black and white Taoist robe, also bound with a red rope. Although the clothing was not revealing, it still inexplicably made her look very much like Seulgi.

Her eyes were indifferent, her face calm, and she walked straight toward him, as if he was the only figure in her eyes.

At this moment, Xia Zhi's "eyes" were only on her.

After all, the golden progress bar on her was indeed too eye-catching.

She walked up to Xia Zhi, looked at him, and said in a cool voice, "I've found you."
