I write novels in Liyue

The cost was two thousand Mora, but some sucker was willing to pay two hundred Mora per book.

Excluding the one I have, there are ninety-nine books in total. Ignoring that one, I can earn a full eighteen thousand Mora.

That's incredibly profitable.

He walked over to the fat man and told him what had just happened.

The fat man was immediately awestruck.

"My god, as expected of the eldest brother, the product sold out immediately after he made a move."

However, as they walked towards Zhongli carrying sacks, they discovered that there was a very familiar-looking girl behind Zhongli.

The girl was petite, with her reddish-brown gradient hair styled into hip-length pigtails. She wore a Chinese-style dress with patterns and a long hem, and a hat adorned with plum blossoms.

Ok……

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

The skinny man frowned, but still couldn't quite remember.

But judging from her appearance, could she be the daughter of that rich but foolish young master?

Seeing the skinny man leading the fat man over, Hu Tao was also a little confused. The skinny man in the lead looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

As she frowned and tried to recall, she said to Zhongli:

"Did you hear me? I'll handle this later."

"The money and goods have not been settled, and the contract has not been signed yet, so let the hall master handle it."

Zhongli nodded and said.

“I went to buy breakfast and you almost spent 20,000 Mora. If Fang Qiu knew that we spent 20,000 to buy only 100 of her books, she would be heartbroken.”

Hu Tao rolled her eyes at Zhong Li and said.

After he finished speaking, the two men approached.

"Let's disregard the previous price and discuss the price again, shall we?"

Hu Tao looked at the two people in front of her with a smile and said.

"Renegotiate the price?"

The skinny man frowned and said, "So how much are you planning to offer?"

"How about this, I'll buy your book at the original price, but I can reserve a prime spot for the two of you on Wuwang Slope. There are two of you, so I'll only charge you one Mora. How about that? You've hit the jackpot."

Hu Tao said with a look that said, "You guys got a great deal."

"Original price?"

The skinny man's face darkened, and he was about to speak when he suddenly heard Hu Tao mention "Wu Wang Slope." As if remembering something, his face turned deathly pale. He raised his hand, pointing tremblingly at Hu Tao, and exclaimed in horror, "...It's you!"

"Who am I? Do you know me? Come to think of it, I felt like I'd seen you somewhere before."

Hu Tao was taken aback, then carefully examined the skinny man in front of her. Suddenly, she realized who he was, and a sinister smile crept onto her lips. She said, "So it's you. No wonder you look so familiar. How about my suggestion? Buy one get one free on Wuwang Slope, the more you buy, the more you get."

"Gurgle."

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, the skinny man shuddered, swallowed hard, and then said with a look of terror and shifty eyes, "No...no need, I don't want the money either. These books are yours. We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, the skinny man gave the fat man a look, then turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Not only were Hu Tao and Zhong Li stunned, but even the fat man stood there for a long time before he reacted, threw down the burlap sack, and ran away in the direction his older brother had run.

"This... Master, do you know that person?"

Zhongli asked.

"I guess you could say we know each other. He's part of the treasure-hunting gang. I saw him and another person late at night at the funeral in Wuwangpo, and we had a little scuffle."

Hu Tao thought for a moment and said, "However, I don't know why he ran away. I was planning to sell him the Rebirth Hall package. The members of the Treasure Thieves and the Adventurers' Guild are the same; they all go deep into dangerous places to search for treasure. So, they are all Peach-level customers here. No matter what they did in life, they are all equal here after death. After all, death is fair; everyone will die. Zhong Li, don't you think so?"

"Master's words are truly insightful."

Zhongli didn't say much, just smiled and said.

"However, they're too cowardly; they don't even want the books."

"Hu Tao said."

"I guess they're afraid of attracting the Thousand Rock Army."

Zhongli said.

"possible."

Hu Tao nodded in agreement, then looked down at the burlap sack at her feet. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "Since they said they were giving these books to us, they are ours. We can't waste their good intentions. How about this: we take half of these books and give them to the novel lovers queuing here, and take the other half back to the Hall of Rebirth?"

"These books were given to you by the hall master; you can arrange them as you see fit."

Zhongli said calmly.

"How about this, you take half of the books back in the cart, and I'll distribute the rest to them."

Hu Tao smiled and said.

"Then I'll leave it to the hall master."

Zhongli nodded.

……

……

P.S.: My hand hurts and I'm stuck on writing, there will be more updates later.

Chapter 175 Don't Be Afraid

"go Go."

After seeing Zhongli pull away in a small cart that seemed somewhat out of place with him, Hu Tao waved goodbye.

"Alright, now it's time to get down to business."

She tidied up the books in the burlap sack, then picked up the burlap sack and walked behind a woman in blue who was more than ten people ahead in the line, and gently patted her on the shoulder.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The woman in green looked at Hu Tao with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Young lady, do you enjoy reading Fang Qiu's books?"

"Hu Tao asked."

"like."

The woman in green nodded and said with a smile, "I only became interested in novels after reading Fang Qiu's 'Your Name' a couple of days ago. I came here today to buy Fang Qiu's new book and some of her previous books."

"I see."

Hu Tao said with a smile, "I have another question for you."

"What's the problem?"

The woman in green asked in confusion.

How much do you know about the Hall of Rebirth?

"Hu Tao asked."

"The Hall of Rebirth? Isn't that a place for holding funerals? What's there to know about it?"

The woman in green frowned.

"Here's the thing, if you're willing to listen to my introduction of the Hall of Rebirth, I'll give you a copy of Fang Qiu's new book, '5 Centimeters Per Second.' How about that? A good deal, right?"

Hu Tao said with a smile, "If you queue like this, it'll probably take you an hour or two. Why don't you listen to me talk for half an incense stick's time, and then you can take the book home and read it. After the book distribution day, when there are fewer people, you can come back to buy other books. How about that? Isn't it a good deal?"

"Well……"

The woman in green hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Hu Tao's suggestion.

Hu Tao led the woman in blue to the side and explained in detail the history of the Rebirth Hall and some of its recent promotional activities.

"So? Are you tempted?"

Hu Tao blinked and asked.

"Um... can I go now?"

The woman in green said awkwardly.

"Alright, it's about time. Here's the book, you can go now."

Hu Tao sighed.

"Yes, thank you."

The woman in green took the book, thanked him, and turned to leave.

"Sigh, next one."

Undeterred, Hu Tao began looking for her next target.

……

At this moment, the two members of the treasure-hunting gang ran into an alley, and when they turned around and saw no one, they stopped.

"Brother, why did we just run away like that? We even gave the books away for free."

The fat man leaned against the wall of the alley, panting heavily as he spoke.

"You don't know anything. If I hadn't been quick-witted, we would have been in big trouble today."

The skinny man, also bent over and panting, his face pale, said...

"What major incident has occurred? With our skills, one of them looks like a weakling, and the other is just a little girl. They shouldn't be a match for us at all. Even if they call in the Thousand Rock Army, we can easily escape, right?"

The fat man looked puzzled and said...

"You don't know anything."

The skinny guy slapped the fat guy on the back of the head, his hand covered in sweat. He quickly pulled it back with disgust, wiped it on the wall, and then said with a serious and fearful expression, "Don't be afraid of what I'm about to tell you."
