I write novels in Liyue

The tavern owner, dressed in an ice-blue cheongsam with a glass lily pattern, came to greet us.

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded.

"Please wait a moment, I'll get the book for you right away. Would you like the limited edition hardcover with animated features, or the regular edition?"

"The tavern owner asked."

"I want a limited edition."

Zhongli pondered for a moment, then said calmly.

"Please wait a moment."

The tavern owner smiled and quickly brought Zhongli the book. Before Zhongli could speak, the tavern owner said with a smile, "I know, put it on the bill for the Rebirth Hall."

"Ah."

Zhongli nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Zhongli, would you like to stay at the tavern and watch it? The animated short film included in the book can only be played on a home projector, but you can watch it here."

"A home projector?"

Zhongli nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the tavern owner and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to read alone."

"Alright then, it will also be played in various teahouses. Mr. Zhongli can go and watch it then."

The tavern owner smiled and said.

After saying goodbye to the tavern owner, Zhongli took the box containing the books and left the tavern, heading towards the Hall of Rebirth.

However, he stopped when he passed a projector store that was playing a promotional animation for "Honkai Impact".

Then, he went into the store.

"Sir, what do you need?"

Soon, a shop assistant took in this distinguished young man.

"Buy a projector."

Zhongli said.

"Excuse me, what price range of projector are you looking for? Let me introduce some to you... I have some here..."

The shop assistant hadn't finished speaking.

Zhongli said calmly, "It doesn't matter, just take the best."

……

Time passed slowly. Just as Hu Tao bought the book and was pulling her cart back to the Rebirth Hall, she saw the two members of the treasure-hunting gang whose buns had been stolen by the dog earlier were also queuing up, and it was almost their turn.

Without giving it much thought, Hu Tao pulled the cart and headed towards the Hall of Rebirth.

Behind him, in the trolley, only ten of the books were limited edition hardcover animated books.

The rest are the standard versions.

Limited edition books are just too expensive.

Buy ten copies, first come, first served.

"Looks like I need to find a way to cut costs. Hmm... I'll have them pay for the limited edition if they want it, and give the regular edition for free if they want it."

As Hu Tao pulled the cart toward Wangshengtang, she muttered to herself, "Hmm... there's still the projector thing. Maybe I should stop by the store on the way and buy a mid-range one. Sigh, I'm really going to great lengths for Wangshengtang."

She pulled the cart and walked towards Shengtang.

Along the way, they encountered Yun Jin again.

Hu Tao gave Yun Jin a limited edition copy of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

After saying goodbye to Yun Jin, she went to the store that sold projectors.

I happened to see several shop assistants carefully carrying a projector.

"Be careful, handle this gently, don't bump it, it's worth hundreds of thousands of Mora."

The male shop assistant directed the workers as they walked away.

"Hundreds of thousands of Mora, that's so expensive! What kind of family can afford that? I wonder which rich person bought it."

Hu Tao's eyes widened.

Spending hundreds of thousands on a projector seems like a bit of a rip-off.

"Excuse me, young lady, are you here to see the projector?"

A female shop assistant came to greet us.

Are all the projectors here this expensive?

"Hu Tao asked."

"That one was the most expensive in the store. It was bought by a handsome young man from a wealthy family. Actually, most projectors are relatively inexpensive."

The female shop assistant said with a smile.

"A rich young master, huh? No wonder."

Hu Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

So, after the conversation, she bought a projector worth 30,000 moras.

Since it was a door-to-door delivery, there was no need to trouble the customer. After paying the Mora and filling in the address, Hu Tao left with the trolley.

On her way back to the ancestral hall, she saw Sister Beidou in the distance.

However, before I could even go up and say hello, Sister Beidou disappeared.

However, judging from the direction she left, it seemed to be Fang Qiu's house.

I wonder if Sister Beidou went to see Fang Qiu.

She was pulling a cart full of books, so she couldn't follow.

We can only go back to the ancestral hall first.

We returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

Then she saw the shop assistant she had seen earlier at the projector door directing several workers to move things...

After being stunned for half a minute, she gradually understood everything.

She now knew who the handsome, rich young master the shop assistant had been talking about was...

I was the one who got the short end of the stick?

Chapter 473 Island

Just as Hu Tao, holding the bill, knocked on Zhong Li's door...

In the teahouse opposite Wanwenji House.

Two groups of thieves stood trembling before the three immortal lords, each holding three ordinary copies of "Honkai Impact 3rd".

As renowned talents in the "prison system" of Liyue, how could they possibly have a proper job?

So, after being released some time ago, they have been idle and aimless.

It wasn't until they discovered that Fang Qiu, that bastard, had a new book on the release date of this issue that they found a odd job and worked there for a day.

Two people, a total of 500 Mora.

That night we had a really good meal, barbecue and drinks, and then we had eighty molars left.

I figured that would be enough for three books.

To everyone's surprise, Fang Qiu even released a deluxe edition this time...

Moreover, all the Mora they had combined weren't even enough to buy a book...

and so……

silence.

Dead silence.

The two of them broke out in a cold sweat.

"Alright, you can leave now."

The True Lord of Moon-Slicing and Sun-Building said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the two groups of thieves breathed a sigh of relief, thanked them profusely, and scrambled away.

After the two groups of thieves left, True Lord Xiaoyue Zhuyang distributed the book to True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng and True Lord Lishui Dieshan.

"By the way, Liu Yun, how's Fang Qiu doing?"

Li Shui Die Shan Zhenjun took the book, flipped through a few pages filled with text, then compared it with the adjacent book, "Honkai Impact," which had detailed illustrations on the title page. After a moment of silence, he looked at Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun and asked.

"With her current strength, she shouldn't be able to trigger the power of the jade pendant if she encounters an ordinary demon."

Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun took the book and said calmly, "That child has quite a talent for using the Eye of God. She has made considerable progress in just one month. She also has no plans to travel far away in the near future."

"That's good, thank you for your hard work."

"That is what True Lord Yaoyue Zhuyang said."

After chatting for a bit, since the books they had were only regular editions, they decided to stay in the teahouse and read.

After all, the teahouse will be showing a short animation of "Honkai Impact" at a set time later.

At this time.

"Hmm... this is life."

Fang Qiu sat in the corridor, holding a large cup of shaved ice, and scooped a large spoonful of shaved ice into her mouth.

Feeling the cool, sweet shaved ice spreading in her mouth, Fang Qiu couldn't help but sigh.

Summer, shaved ice, cats, cooling mist, beautiful courtyard scenery.
