Offer blocks to the end times

The reason Myne got the card is because the paper and headdress are going to be listed as new products. If Myne doesn't have the card, the two works she made can't be sold as products, so she needs to get the card. The products will also be included in the merchant guild's list so that everyone knows what they are.

Speaking of the Chamber of Commerce, Senju realized that he hadn't contacted Frieda in a long time. It seemed that she still owed him a lot of gold coins. Hmm, he should go ask for the money. Anyway, he had almost finished reading all the useful books here.

"Phew, finally finished reading," a few hours later, Senju closed the book in his hands. The technology here was even more advanced than he had imagined, actually involving a trace of time magic. Unfortunately, it was only a tangential understanding. The nobles here were magicians, but they lacked the spirit of research that magicians possessed. The magic they used was all based on the name of 'gods,' so naturally, their progress was not significant.

Of course, while overall technological progress has been modest, it doesn't mean they've fallen behind. With the overpowered ability of magic, the lives of the nobles are incredibly modern. For example, they have temperature-controlled barriers, carriages equipped with magic stones, and healing magic formed from magic. Their lifestyles are no less luxurious than those of modern people, but this applies only to the nobles.

With a wave of his hand, Senju opened a portal according to the magic rules here. This magic can be used here even without Senju's rules.

"..." He appeared on the main street, thankfully it was nighttime and there was no one on the street, but smelling the stench of the city, Senju rolled his eyes. What a headache! When will this thing be properly recognized for its value?!

In addition, the sewer system here is very complete in the noble district, with even modern bathing and toilet facilities. However, in the outer city, the sewers are only connected by some holes along the roadside. This is to prevent rainwater from flowing into the toilets people use at home.

Looking at the patrolling soldiers approaching from afar, Thousand Hands shook his head and then appeared on the city wall. Although in theory there should be many soldiers on guard duty on the city wall, in reality there were only a few soldiers on night watch hiding in the city tower. After all, it was not wartime, and even if other people's territories were on the other side of the West Gate River, there wouldn't be many soldiers patrolling.

"Uh," Although standing on the city wall, the smell had lessened considerably due to the height (the city wall was at least seven or eight meters higher than the ordinary residential buildings inside), Thousand Hands was still shaken, feeling as if he had just been stung by ammonia.

"Summon the wind! Summon the rain!" Thousand Hands waved his hand, and at first a gentle breeze arose.

Then it got bigger. Luckily it was late autumn, and everyone was sleeping with their windows closed. Otherwise, you could have heard the doors and windows rattling all over the city. Then there was the pervasive moisture. People who were woken up by the sound of the wind could tell it was going to rain just by feeling outside.

Lights suddenly came on in several houses. Thousand Hands glanced around and saw that these were workshops and merchant quarters. Ordinary people didn't come out to look; after all, everyone kept their belongings safely at home! Who would leave their things outside? Weren't they afraid someone would steal them?!

The wind continued for a while, and ten minutes later, a light rain began to fall. Soon, it turned into a downpour, and the rapid raindrops woke up almost everyone in the city.

However, the downpour came and went quickly. In just over ten minutes, the heavy rain stopped, followed by howling winds. Looking at the state of the city, Senju nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, at least it's a bit cleaner now."

"Splash!" Just as he was feeling pleased, a window in a commoner's building opened, and a basin of indescribable mixture was poured in. As if by prior arrangement, dozens of other families followed suit. Thousand Hands, watching all this, felt the veins on his forehead throb for a while. Had they gotten dirty so quickly after just being washed?!

Chapter 1990 Acquaintance

But after being angry for a while, Senju was helpless again. Just like the saying goes, if you can control everything, why can't you control people's poop and farts?! The problem is that unless Senju installs a modern sewage system in the apartment buildings of ordinary people, the problem cannot be solved at all. Hmm, it seems that if farmyard manure is accepted, these valuable mixtures will definitely be collected seriously.

After thinking for a while, Senju rolled her eyes and let the wind blow on her. An hour later, the water stains on the stone slab were dried, and Senju was fast asleep in the small building in the forest.

While eating breakfast, Bailey was reporting on recent events, mainly about the attacks on the area by several civilians, soldiers, and nobles. Unfortunately, because Thousand Hands had forbidden her from eating people, she hadn't been able to have any extra food and had thrown them all into the river. Maybe a few died, but no one has attacked here for the past few days.

Senju didn't care about such things. He wasn't a purely kind person. As long as it didn't violate his bottom line, Bailey was willing to do anything to protect this place.

After listening for a while and finding nothing else, Senju headed towards the city. After all, she had asked around and found that Frieda hadn't sent any money yet. Well, maybe she couldn't find her. Senju wanted to give her a surprise. She was very interested in seeing the little money-grubber's expression when she lost her gold coins.

They entered the city calmly. Well, actually, entering the city requires procedures, but Senju walked in calmly. Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain last night, but the area was very clean. The streets were bustling. They walked along the main street, from the southernmost ordinary people's district to the bustling commercial district in the north. Because it was close to the noble district, many merchants gathered here. The surrounding buildings and roads were very clean, and the smell was not so strong.

Moreover, with pedestrians and carriages all around, Senju felt that this area was more like a city in a fantasy world. He strolled around slowly and headed towards the merchant guild. However, after walking for a while, he made eye contact with a little girl on the road. Then, they were both taken aback. She was startled and exclaimed, "Ah, it's you!"

"Yo, Myne," Senju raised his hand in greeting. His gentle smile startled Myne. It had been a while since she'd seen him, and he'd changed his personality again. But according to the clay tablet, the magic he practiced required the collection of a million personalities to become a god. Even if he did it one a day, it would still take two or three thousand years. It seemed incredibly useless.

"What do you want to buy, Uncle?" Myne asked curiously. After all, this was a commercial area. Senju shrugged. "Well, I rented out some things before, and now I'm here to collect the rent. By the way, Myne, are you interested in the original shop of the bookstore? I'll give you a small silver coin."

"A small silver coin?" Myne did the math; the other person seemed a bit mentally unstable. "Um, are you sure? You won't change your mind later, will you?"

"Hmm, I don't think I'll back out," Senju nodded after thinking for a moment. Myne was speechless. She had clearly hesitated just now, hadn't she? She must have been thinking about when she might back out in the future! But it seems like a good deal to get a shop for just a small silver coin. Whether you use it to live or open a shop, it's fantastic. "Okay, by the way, Uncle, do you have a merchant guild card? You know, this kind."

“Of course,” Senju shrugged as he looked at the card Myne took out of her bosom. He reached into the air, pulled out another card, rummaged around for a while, and then took out a parchment and a bunch of keys. “These are all the certificates and keys for the shop.”

“I see,” then Myne and Senju touched the cards together, and a small silver coin was transferred over. Then Senju flicked a point of light into Myne’s mind. “This is the control of the barrier over there. See you again when you have time.”

"A barrier, huh?" Myne was somewhat lost in thought. As the light entered her brain, she instantly sensed a connection between herself and a certain location. Instantly, she understood where she was. "This... is this my bookstore? Perhaps I should try making books?"

"Myne, is that real?" Lutz called out worriedly. Myne shook her head, looking at the parchment and key in her hand. "I don't know, but it doesn't look fake. But spatial magic... I'm so envious."

"However, let's keep going."

“Hmm,” Lutz continued walking, but Senju stopped after a while and looked at Frieda ahead, who was shopping alone. The two made eye contact. Senju’s eyes were saying ‘pay back the money,’ while Frieda’s eyes were saying ‘hahaha~ sidelong glance.’

"Yo~" Senju raised his hand in greeting, but before he could finish speaking, Frieda greeted him with an elegant smile, "Good day, Lady Senju, you're back. It's been so long since I've paid my respects, I'm truly sorry. However, I have an appointment today. If it's alright, would it be possible for me to visit you the day after tomorrow?"

Well, actually, Frieda put it more elegantly, but Senju felt there was too much nonsense, so he simplified it a bit. Anyway, he didn't pay any attention to those things. "A visit? Well, I live in the forest outside the south of the city now, so there's no need for a special visit. By the way, do you have plans? Are you alone, visiting friends?"

“The forest? But I’m not here to hang out with friends today,” Frida shook her head, still smiling elegantly. “It’s business dealings.”

"Uh," looking at the six-year-old girl, Senju found herself wanting to make a comment, but the suspicion in her eyes made Frieda slightly dissatisfied. "I'm also the granddaughter of the Chamber of Commerce president, and I'm extremely skilled in business!"

"Really?" Looking at her, magnified two or three times, Senju could believe it, but a six-year-old talking about business? Was this some kind of child's game? "Are you alone? No one with you?"

“I’m enough on my own. The other person is a child younger than me,” Frieda said with a smile. Senju was speechless for a moment. It was really just playing house. Realizing that she was looking for a child to play with, Senju lost interest. Then she reached out her hand, “Oh, right, and the rent.”

“Hahaha, well,” Frida chuckled dryly, her eyes darting around, “I left my wallet at home.”

Thousand Hands held up the card, and looking at it, Frieda's eyes welled up with tears. Then, reluctantly, she took out the card, saying, "Well, I only have a small gold coin for pocket money here; the rest of my gold coins are at home."

"Huh? You didn't bring your wallet?" Senju was surprised. This little money-grubber who loved the sound of gold coins clinking didn't bring her wallet? Frieda shook her head. "I did bring my wallet, but it only has copper coins in it. Gold coins are safer at home."

Chapter 1991 An Accidental Encounter

“Hmm, that makes sense,” Senju nodded, then thought that asking a little girl for money wasn’t a good idea, and waved his hand, “Then go play with your friends, I’ll continue shopping for a while, and visit you again tomorrow.”

"We look forward to your arrival," Frida greeted him with ladylike grace, and Senju continued walking forward. However, without a destination in mind, Senju strolled around slowly, wondering what to buy. But this place was clearly not as bustling as the royal capital. Senju wandered aimlessly through the streets, and before he knew it, he had stumbled upon a temple.

"..." Looking at the temple over there, Senju was speechless for a moment, then turned back. He then saw Myne, Lutz, and Frieda walking together. Why were these three walking together? But if this was the case, Frieda's talk about doing business might be true. After all, Myne was next to her. Were they going to buy paper?

"Uh," Senju suddenly rolled his eyes, because he thought of toilet paper. But if he actually said it, Senju felt that Myne would beat him up. Uh, but speaking of which, what do they use to wipe their butts here?! After thinking about it, Senju was speechless. It's better not to think too much about it.

Shaking her head, Senju walked away, leaving the two little girls who wanted to say hello behind her. The two children were dumbfounded. They had just been greeting each other, so why were they pretending not to know each other now? Well, Senju didn't want to participate in their childish game.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, Senju, feeling bored, found a building that looked like a fountain and sat down next to it. This stone circular building was supposed to be a fountain, located in the center of the crossroads, but there was no water inside. With a wave of his hand, he took out his morin khuur (horsehead fiddle) and slowly began to play it, attracting many onlookers.

Although Senju felt that her musical talent was only average, that was in comparison to her family. Her family's maid band could crush most bands and was one of the top bands in Senju's world. Only when she listened to their performances did Senju realize that she was inferior.

But the people here don't have such a good experience. They usually can't even hear music. This increase and decrease made them think that the sound of the Thousand Hands' koto was amazing. Moreover, with the sound of the koto, strange light was constantly being emitted. Well, in reality, they didn't know what it was. They just thought it was a strange trick of the magical bard.

When the piece ended, the people around applauded. Thousand Hands was very suspicious that if he took out a bowl, he could have earned a few copper coins, but he didn't. So no one put any money in. Of course, Thousand Hands didn't care and continued playing his zither, but he was somewhat absent-minded.

He was thinking about something: what should he do if he ended up in the same situation as Myne? Then Senju realized that he and Myne were very similar. They would both struggle desperately to pursue their goals. However, Myne pursued books, while Senju pursued extraordinary power. Of course, both of them had their bottom lines and pursued their goals within reasonable limits.

However, after playing for a while, Senju sensed a familiar presence. Looking to the side, she saw Dolly, who was excitedly watching. After all, there weren't many fun things to do and she didn't often have the chance to hear music.

Looking around, she saw many children, and Qian Shou began to play with great focus. The people around her were captivated, and another piece ended.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause from the crowd, Thousand Hands was still inwardly complaining. Then, people started throwing money at him, clattering all over the ground. However, most of the coins were small copper coins, which was already quite a lot.

"Thank you, thank you," Senju said, cupping his hands in a gesture of gratitude to those around him. Well, the people around him didn't quite understand this way of bowing, but they knew it was probably an act of thanks, and they all praised Senju's playing skills.

However, looking at the copper coins scattered all over the ground, Thousand Hands frowned. It seemed ungentlemanly to squat down and pick up the money. He waved his hand, and a suction force grabbed the copper coins into his hand. The people around were surprised, but they didn't think much of it. Well, that's not right. Some of the merchants did think of magic, but magicians wouldn't come here to perform!

After playing for a while longer, Senju stopped playing and said that was it for today. The people around him dispersed in disappointment. However, a few people then came over and invited Senju to play at their shops or homes, but Senju refused them all. He said he was just bored out of his mind, and who would come to his door to play for him?

After that, Senju counted his earnings for the day. This was the first clean money he had earned here. He counted about three hundred small copper coins, eleven medium copper coins, and four large copper coins in total. How poor!

However, this income is already enough to live quite well here. If Qian Shou wanted, he could do more, such as cultural products. Of course, making paper is too troublesome, so he's too lazy to do it. But ink is something he could do, and not black ink but colored ink. That would definitely have a market, I suppose.

After a moment's thought, he looked at the pile of copper coins in his hand and realized they were useless. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Senju stepped on the stone slab of the plaza, and a hole immediately appeared beneath it. He transferred the copper coins into the hole, thinking, "Let's see which child will be lucky enough to receive this reward."

Before he could even stand up, he spotted Myne and Lutz carrying baskets, and Senju casually greeted them, "Hey, Myne, you guys are done playing? Hmm, something feels off."

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Myne asked curiously, looking at the morin khuur that Senju was holding. Lutz, on the other hand, was very excited. "Are you singing? I've seen bards perform before. It's such a pity that we missed your performance, Uncle."

"Uh, you really are a music lover," Senju said with a hint of surprise, while Lutz was super excited, nodding repeatedly. "Yeah, I want to look around."

Myne added, "Luz used to be a troubadour, but now he's chosen the path of a merchant. But one day, Luz will be able to go to all sorts of places."

"Um, I feel like this has nothing to do with music," Senju muttered briefly, glancing at the basket. "By the way, Myne, where did you and Frieda go? Were you really discussing business?"

"Huh? Uncle, do you know Frieda?" Myne was surprised. After Senju explained, Myne realized that the shop she had acquired originally belonged to Frieda's grandfather, and that Senju had already communicated with the guild leader. "I see. It seems we can communicate more in the future. We did make a deal this time. Miss Frieda needed a pair of hair accessories, so I took on the job."

"A hair ornament?" Senju looked at Myne with suspicion. When did she learn carving and forging? "Is it made of metal? Or wood? Myne, can you carve?"

Chapter 1992 Leaving Without Gaining Anything

“No, it’s a knitted item, like this,” Myne took a hair accessory out of the basket. It looked like a small hair clip, but it had a wooden base and a few small flowers woven from yarn as decorations at one end.

"This thing? How many copper coins is it worth?" Looking at the hair ornament, Thousand Hands shook his head, feeling that in modern society, hardly anyone would want it. Lutz, standing to the side, immediately voiced a different opinion: "It's not copper coins, one of these costs four small silver coins!"

"This is it?" Senju was surprised. So making such a small thing was more profitable than performing? "How is that possible? It doesn't make any sense."

"Um, uncle, doesn't it hurt to say that?" Myne rolled her eyes. "I've seen the jewelry in your old shop. A single tassel hairpin cost 1000 gold coins. That was even more unreasonable, wasn't it?"

"How can this be the same? Mine is a magical item," said Thousand Hands, pulling a hairpin from thin air. It was a glittering silver hairpin with flower petal designs and several gemstone tassels. "Besides, looking at the design and the materials, how come it's not worth 1000 gold coins?"

"Oh, oh, oh, so beautiful!" Myne, being a girl, was initially dazzled by the gorgeous jewelry, but then she remembered the shampoo formula she had sold—it only cost a little over two gold coins! This hairpin, on the other hand, could fetch three or four thousand in patent rights! It was outrageous! She immediately sneered, "Heh, what amazing uses does this have?"

"Hmm~" Senju thought for a moment, then nodded and pointed to the hairpin, "Wearing this hairpin will make Myne's magic power 50 times stronger, her physique 5,000 times stronger, and it will also provide powerful defense. How about it? Interested?"

"No, no, no, I don't want that much magic!" Myne frantically waved her hands. Fifty times? Wouldn't she just be devoured? "But why is her physique enhanced so much? Five thousand times! Isn't that too powerful?"

"

"Um, Myne, don't you know how weak you are?" Senju retorted. Myne angrily waved her arms, "I'm not weak, I'm very strong~"

“Yes, yes, you’re very strong,” Senju replied casually, then pointed to the hairpin, “Moreover, this hairpin can be used like this, cleaving the heavens and the earth in one stroke!”

As she spoke, Thousand Hands flicked her hairpin towards the sky, creating a spatial rift where it passed. The hairpin then flew into the air and exploded into a dazzling galaxy. After a while, the galaxy slowly disappeared. Myne stared in disbelief, "The Queen Mother's hairpin?! How is this possible?"

"Who is the Queen Mother? This is my hairpin!" Thousand Hands asked blankly. Myin quickly shook her head. "No, it's nothing. I just mean it's very pretty. But it will feel even better at night, like fireworks."

"Fireworks? What are those?" Lutz asked curiously, and Senju also looked on with curiosity. Myne looked around. "That thing, as bright as the stars at night, explodes with a 'bang'. Hmm, Uncle's magic is released at night."

"What a 'dongka'!" Senju thought to himself. "My hairpin actually tore through space and formed a dimensional blade." Lutz listened intently to Myne's explanation. He always loved new things, and Myne often brought him various surprises, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to follow her.

"Is that so? It would be really beautiful to put this on at night," Senju said, pretending to understand. Myne nodded happily, and Lutz also had a moment of daydreaming. After they finished daydreaming, they stared at each other for a while. What was it that we were going to talk about just now?

Looking at her own hair clip (qia), and then at Senju's hairpin, Myne scratched her head. "Uncle, these don't seem to be the same thing, do they?"

“Well, you’re right,” Senju shook his head, waved his hand, and threw the hairpin back. He carefully examined the headdress made by Myne. “Hmm, it’s a very beautiful thing. I didn’t expect that one would cost four small silver coins. It’s really a luxury item.”

"Well, making the base and the flowers takes a lot of effort, so we're just earning a meager living," Myne said modestly. Senju rolled her eyes slightly. A demon's meager living? How much are wood and thread worth? One headdress like this costs four small silver coins, which is more than a gatekeeper's monthly salary! Has Myne finally embarked on the path to wealth?

Speaking of which, the current situation and the current routine seem a little familiar. Qian Shou feels like he has seen a similar scene somewhere before: a woman who transmigrates back to a poor family, is loved by her family, has a loyal dog, and becomes rich through technology. "...I smell the scent of female-oriented content."

After reviewing Myne's experiences, Senju rolled her eyes. In the future, Myne will participate in a baptism ceremony, where she will need to offer her blood to a divine artifact (a magic stone artifact). Myne's powerful magic will definitely trigger that, and she will then be noticed by the temple, which desperately needs magical talents. After that, she should join the temple.

Think about the people in the temple. The fat temple chief should be the early mini-boss, and the high priest should be the one protecting the shadow. After that, the temple chief should have been defeated, and then the high priest introduced Myne to his brother, Lord Sylvester, and then rose to prominence. How logical is that!

Moreover, those children in the orphanages are precisely the kind of loyal subordinates Myne will have in the future. With just a little food and a little dignity, those children will be her most loyal followers. However, it feels like everything has been ruined by the Thousand Hands.

Shaking his head, Senju deleted the million-word female-oriented novel he had been writing in his mind. Then he looked at the puzzled Myne across from him. As a little girl who was supposed to love books, what kind of inspiration had she given him so far? Senju felt that even if Myne was smart, strong, cute and loved by everyone, it didn't seem to be of much use to him.

"Myne, what do you think a steadfast will is?" Thinking of leaving, Senju asked Myne her last question. Myne rested her chin on one finger. "A steadfast will? I don't really understand that either, but for the sake of books, I'm willing to do anything."

"Is that so?" Although she sighed, Senju gained nothing. The words were too simplistic. Senju had clearly witnessed Myne's many hardships, yet she was now asking a little girl about ascending to a higher dimension. It seemed she was being cowardly.

Despite wanting immense power, she hesitated at the critical moment, placing her hopes on others. Shaking her head, Thousand Hands flicked out a streak of silver light. "Thank you, Myne. This is for you. See you again someday."

"Huh?!" Looking at the uncle who vanished into the spatial rift, and then at the tassel hairpin floating in front of her, Myne was filled with confusion. So, what happened? Did the uncle become a god?!
