My two-dimensional resident

Therefore, he wanted to refuse Lin Tian's offer to cooperate with him in selling apples.

"Ubuya-san, I understand your concerns. But have you considered this: after Muzan Kibutsuji dies, what will become of your Demon Slayer Corps members? Will they all retire? Will they be left to find new jobs and make a living on their own?"

Yes, some members might want to return to their hometowns and start a new life, but most are orphans whose skills have been entirely dedicated to serving the Demon Slayer Corps. What could they possibly do if they were to return to ordinary life?

Even if you could get them jobs in your family business, do your current businesses really need that many people?

Lin Tian had already anticipated that Kagaya Ubuyashiki would refuse to cooperate with him, so he was not surprised when Kagaya Ubuyashiki politely declined. Instead, he recounted his current situation with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Kibutsuji Muzan and his demons have all vanished from this world. The Demon Slayer Corps, having fulfilled its millennium-long ambition, no longer has any reason to exist.

With several hundred more "idle" people suddenly appearing, even if some retire and return to their hometowns, these are only a small fraction. What will become of the remaining members? This is a problem the Ubuyashiki family must face.

The world is developing rapidly. Can a group of people who only know how to fight, do intelligence work, and provide logistical support adapt to this world quickly?

The ending of Demon Slayer is beautiful, but the beautiful scenes only apply to the descendants of the protagonist. What happened to the descendants of the other Demon Slayer Corps members is unknown.

"this..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki was speechless. What Lin Tian said was exactly what had been giving him the biggest headache lately. As the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, he knew the members' situation better than Lin Tian did.

To support the Demon Slayer Corps, their clan's support staff was already at full capacity. Even though the members of the Demon Slayer Corps specializing in logistics could quickly adapt to mundane tasks, he couldn't find any more work to assign them in the short term.

Expanding the industry? Not realistic.

Their family primarily engages in ancient industries such as land management and food production. These industries are already controlled by a few major families, including theirs, and cannot be expanded further in this country.

Therefore, he and his family cannot find a feasible solution for how the Demon Slayer Corps members will live in the future.

"As the owner of Apple, I understand its function better than you do. You fear that if those more powerful than you discover Apple's value, they will break off relations and fight you. But you don't want your members to become enemies with the humanity they have dedicated their lives to protecting because of this."

"I understand all of that. So I have a suggestion, a suggestion that will prevent them from eyeing the Apple, and this suggestion can even help you solve the future employment problem for these Demon Slayer Corps members."

"What suggestion?"

Upon hearing that Lin Tian had a way to help him solve the employment problem for the Demon Slayer Corps members, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's usually gentle and refined face instantly lit up with excitement. He cared more about this issue than collaborating on selling apples.

Chapter 184 Young man, want to buy health supplements? The kind that will help you regain your virility.

"You could start a winery or a beverage factory. Then add some apple juice to your drinks. That way, your drinks will have 'health' benefits, and I'm sure these health drinks will sell like hotcakes. At that point, the employment problem for the Demon Slayer Corps members will naturally be solved."

Lin Tian took out an apple and an empty bottle. In front of the others, he forcefully crushed the apple, collecting one-third of the bottle's juice.

Then he took out a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), opened the cap, and dripped a drop of apple juice into it. Finally, he handed the bottle of baijiu to the water column.

"Here, have a taste."

"..."

Looking at the liquor in Lin Tian's hand, the usually expressionless Yoshiyuki Tomioka's forehead was covered in black lines. He was a very disciplined person and never drank. Now that Lin Tian was asking him to drink, he was extremely unwilling.

But with his lord there, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink the wine in Lin Tian's hand. Just then, a figure stood in front of him.

"Let me do it!"

Yanzhu Beiming, holding Buddhist beads, walked up to Lin Tian and took the wine that was supposed to be drunk by Shuizhu.

"Huh? You monk drink alcohol?" Lin Tian asked in surprise.

"Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but Buddha remains in the heart." Yanzhu Beimingyu Xing smiled calmly, raised his glass of white wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Um?!"

After swallowing the white wine mixed with apple juice, a heat he had never felt before filled his entire body, making the Stone Pillar feel full of power and wanting to find a place to release it.

This is no longer wine, it's clearly a super nourishing soup!

"It seems that adding a drop of apple juice to a bottle of wine is a bit too much. Diluting it tenfold should be enough."

Seeing Iwasaki's reaction, Lin Tian didn't need to ask how he felt to know that too much apple juice had been added. His goal was to get Ubuyashiki Kagaya to produce "health supplement" level beverages and alcohol, not a noticeable "stimulant."

It's fine as long as it has some effect, but it can't be too obvious.

The goal is to make people see it as an essential beverage in their lives, rather than a medicine with obvious effects.

Only in this way can we sell more drinks and earn more money.

"Brother Ubuya, the effect of the white wine I made with apple juice was even more pronounced than the medicinal wine infused with century-old ginseng. If we sell this kind of wine or beverage with apple juice, it will definitely be very popular."

By then, people will say that the sake and drinks of the Ubuyashiki clan are delicious, and that drinking them makes you feel great, relieves backaches and leg pains. Men can regain their virility and have sex seven times a night. Women's skin will be smooth, delicate, and alluring, making them feel like they've returned to their youth.

Back then, nobles would only focus on the wonders of your wines and beverages, not on the fact that these magical properties originated from apples. Even if someone wanted to uncover the secret, you could easily evade it with a smokescreen. For example, you could have your physician forge a secret recipe.

If this project is successfully implemented, both you and I can make money, and your team members will also be able to obtain a stable job.

"Ubuya-san, what do you think of my suggestion?"

Lin Tian handed the bottle of apple juice to Kagaya Ubuyashiki with a smile and said.

As a 21st-century youth, he knew all too well that the health supplement industry was extremely lucrative. If a health supplement actually had any effect, it would be wildly popular, and the companies producing it would make a fortune.

"That is indeed a brilliant suggestion. Brother Lin Tian, ​​you truly are a genius."

To modern eyes, Lin Tian's idea would be considered ordinary. But for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who lived in the 19th century, the idea of ​​turning apples into apple juice and adding it to wine was a brilliant suggestion.

"Then let's find a place to discuss the specific cooperation plan."

Seeing that Kagaya Ubuyashiki was very satisfied with his suggestion, Lin Tian chuckled softly.

"it is good!"

......

"Ren, why does Lord Lin Tian look so silly and grinning? Is he ill?"

In the courtyard surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, Kanae Butterfly, standing under the eaves, had been staring at Lin Tian, ​​who was sitting on a recliner, for half an hour. Seeing him sitting there motionless with a simple, grinning expression, the beautiful woman wore a puzzled look.

"He must have gotten the lord's gold. What a miser."

Shinobu Kocho, standing to the side, shook her head and sighed. Then she looked at her older sister with a solemn expression.

"Sister, let me tell you, as long as you don't involve money in front of Lin Tian, ​​he won't be angry no matter what outrageous things you do. But as soon as money is involved, he turns into a miser, a real skinflint!"

"Ah! Why? I feel that Lord Lin Tian isn't that kind of person."

Her sister's words puzzled Kanae Butterfly; she couldn't believe that Lin Tian would become that kind of person for money.

"Sigh...you'll find out once you come back with us."

Seeing her sister's "I don't believe it" expression, Shinobu Kocho turned into a riddle teller.

Kanae wanted to ask more questions, but then the courtyard gate was pushed open. The Butterfly Sisters looked over at the same time and saw that it was Kagaya Ubuyashiki walking in accompanied by a page.

"My lord!" ×2

Is Brother Lin Tian here?

"Ubuya-san, you've arrived. It seems you were ready."

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's voice, Lin Tian stood up from the recliner and went to Kagaya Ubuyashiki's side.

"Yes, I've convinced the family members. Those who didn't want to go back to their hometown have also agreed to become employees of my winery."

"That's great. Here are ten bottles of apple juice. That's enough for you for a year. As for the money, you can pay me back in a year."

Upon hearing this good news, Lin Tian waved his hand, and a box of pre-pressed apple juice appeared before the two of them. A pageboy beside Ubuyashiki Kagaya carefully picked up the apple juice as it appeared.

Treat it like a precious treasure!

These are important items related to their lord's future career; how could they be left lying on the ground so casually?

"Thank you, Brother Lin Tian. You not only helped me break the 'curse' on everyone in my family, but you also solved the employment problem for the Demon Slayer Corps members."

"Haha, you're too kind. I'm mainly short of money. Your ten tons of gold impressed me."

Lin Tian laughed loudly. He had originally accompanied Shinobu Kocho back to her 'hometown', but now that he could return to four years before the final battle in the Infinity Castle, how could Lin Tian possibly let the Demon Slayer storyline repeat itself?

In that case, Shinobu would be very sad. Lin Tian said on the day Shinobu arrived on the island that he would transform the adorable Rabbit Island into an ideal paradise far removed from the world.

"Stepping on Stars"

He absolutely could not allow Shinobu Kocho to lose her sister again, or the comrades who fought alongside her.

But how could he possibly say such overly "idealistic" and "naive" things to a stranger?

"Thank you, Lin Tian..."

Standing behind Lin Tian, ​​Shinobu Kocho murmured softly after hearing his words. Although Lin Tian stated that he helped his lord because of the ten tons of gold...

But she understood that Lin Tian was doing this for her own sake, to prevent her from experiencing the pain of losing her companions again.

Shinobu Kocho hasn't forgotten Lin Tian's grand ideal. She used to support Lin Tian's ideal and even helped him build the adorable Rabbit Island.

But that kind of help was limited to her being a resident of Lin Tian. She believed it was the responsibility of a resident.

Now, he has experienced Muzan Kibutsuji's death again and brought his sister back to life.

She was completely moved by Lin Tian at this moment. Moved by his actions of keeping his word.

Her heart had made up its mind. No matter how bumpy the road ahead might be, she would always stand behind Lin Tian and accompany him until the day their dream was realized.

Chapter 185 Return (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations)

"Ah! I'm finally back! The air on the island is so fresh and sweet!"

Lin Tian, ​​who had just stepped out of Dodo Bird Airlines, put his feet on the long-missed beach and stretched his arms into a long yawn.

Although the world of Demon Slayer isn't exactly an industrially advanced era, its air quality is still more than ten thousand times worse than that of the adorable, secluded Rabbit Island.

"Brother! Brother! You're back!"

Just then, Binchotan, who was picking up seashells on the beach not far away, noticed the group. Seeing that Lin Tian, ​​who had been away for three days, had returned, he excitedly ran towards Lin Tian, ​​waving the ribbon behind him.

"Little one! Charcoal, have you gotten fatter again?! I feel like I can't even carry you anymore!"

When Binchotan ran up to Lin Tian, ​​Lin Tian happily picked her up, pinched her chubby little face, and joked with her affectionately.

"No, no, you're so mean, brother! Binchotan has always listened to you, drinking milk and exercising every day. Haven't you noticed I've grown a tiny bit taller?"

Upon hearing Lin Tian say that he had gained weight, Binchotan puffed out his cheeks like a chubby bun, then gestured with his hands to show that he had grown taller.
