Lin Xiaowei's Recent Situation

Lin Xiaowei: "I sang it out, okay?"

Li Yao was a bit surprised. "I didn't expect you to be here."

Lin Xiaowei: "I just came online. I've been super busy recently. I developed a batch of skincare and cosmetic products. Initially, it was just a simple water-based makeup product. I don't have a lot of confidence in it. I didn't expect that after organizing an international elite gathering, it immediately caused the elite from all around the world to explode. Now the orders are piled up like a mountain."

They're all money!

Even while Lin Xiaowei was holding onto her phone, she was smiling so hard that her eyes could not open.

It was like she was lying in an ocean of gold.

"…" Li Yao was speechless.

Alright.

When he read novels, there were sweet potato masters who reached the apex of their lives by eating sweet potatoes.

There were people who reached the pinnacle with their cooking skills.

There were people who decided not to be humans and became a black dragon…

He was used to those… not!

He had never heard of transmigrators who opened markets and became famous internationally in the alternate world through skincare and cosmetic products. Big brother, was your head clipped when you transmigrated and were born?

Can't you do something that's in a higher class?

But Lin Xiaowei did not care about these.

"Are plane wars high-class? Are plane colonizations high-class? People are eating so many animals in the alternate world that they are almost becoming extinct—is protecting these endangered animals high-class? What's considered high-class? Pursuing violence or the truth? Those magicians who believe in truism are going extinct, okay? Back then, they still had a Holy Cup War where they tried to steal its roots… Then they played themselves to death."

Lin Xiaowei concluded. "Earning money is high-class!"

Otherwise, why would magicians hole up in the laboratories every day?

To make a wish?

They are all burning money!

Alright.

Li Yao was speechless from her rebuttals.

After all, most of the magical materials in his space ring were provided by Lin Xiaowei. Although he had a lot remaining and was trying to cultivate them, cultivation required a lot of money too! For this, Li Shishi had recently invested millions of dollars… It was really money-burning.

Li Yao: "Oh, right. I interacted with the supernatural realm on Earth yesterday."

Lin Xiaowei immediately became interested. "Oh?"

Hence, he told her about Qing Long Mountain and Old Lu's visit yesterday.

After listening to him, Lin Xiaowei became thoughtful. "Seems like the supernatural realm on Earth has existed for a really long time. Earth is not that simple… Oh right, do you think that an army of transmigrators exists?"

"Huh?" Li Yao was confused by the question.

How could he answer this?

He thought of the Warrior Emperor from the first generation descending from nowhere, attacking the sky with abnormal fire… What the f*ck, how terrifying! How terrifying!

Or the first-generation king Chen Beixuan… Sigh, these names are a bit familiar.

Forget it.

It's not important.

Anyway, once he thought about those scenes, Li Yao felt uncomfortable all over.

I can't mess with them, I can't mess with them.

If that is really the case, who would even dare to mess with Mother Earth?

They would be crushed within minutes, okay?

Li Yao and Lin Xiaowei talked for a while. Lin Xiaowei prepared to go offline. "I'll leave first. My phone's running out of battery."

The Apple iPhone really can't last long.

Li Yao pouted and told Lin Xiaowei to chat later.

He kept his phone and tidied up his recent situation.

Through constantly analyzing the knowledge about Magic Medicine and Alchemy, he could now create detoxification medicine, Vitality Elixir, and the healing potion now. He had already improved the tastes of the first two. Now, he was still researching how to improve the taste of the remaining healing potion.

For his spells, he had already maximized the success rate and speed of his Master's Hand with the support of his quarterstaff. He could also silently cast Frost Death's Wrath now, which was a spell with a lot of potential for growth.

These were all the spells that he had mastery over.

Only his meditation skills remained.

This was equivalent to the internal force of the martial arts world, the fundamental skills of the fantasy world, the life roots of a magician—he had already trained his perception to a distance of 55m.

He was not far from being promoted to an official magician.

It seemed like he could learn some new skills…

But Lin Xiaowei just disconnected.

Never mind, I'll just leave her a message:

"Oh right. Dog, I have finished practicing the two skills. Do you have any new skills to recommend me? Oh right… If you are free, send me some knowledge about the construction field. I'm quite interested in constructing a golem."

This feeling was quite weird.

It was like in a video game, when one went to the main city to look for the NPC teacher and learn some skills.

The only difference was that video games were artificial.

Yet his best friend was real.

After leaving a message for Lin Xiaowei, Li Yao stood up from the sofa and had a good stretch. He looked outside of the window. There were still a few pedestrians walking on the streets. However, it was quite rare.

Although the provincial city was called a second-tier city, in actual fact, it only had the advantage of being the capital of the province. In terms of its economic position, it was much worse than the cities over at the Zhejiang province. Even several cities in the Jiangsu area were overtaking it. The only thing that allowed it to reign over the other provinces was the property prices.

Correspondingly, the nightlife here was much more boring.

Li Yao had stayed in the Guangxi capital for a period of time before… The Lingnan people were really amazing. Even to three in the morning, they still kept drinking. Even if it was five or six in the morning, they were not afraid at all. They would even order two bowls of rice at the roadside stalls, alongside some skewers, and continue drinking.

Society people. How domineering!

All of them were unfeeling vassals of alcohol!

Remember the fear that alcohol once gave him, Li Yao's liver was still hurting vaguely.

But in this provincial capital…

There was probably going to be no customers for today.

Hence, Li Yao said, "Let's close the shop, Chen Xi. I feel that there won't be any more customers."

Chen Xi walked out of the bar table. "Then I'll tidy up the place."

She had a determined character and could endure the mundane. Even if she had to wait there futilely for the entire day, she would not find it boring. When Chen Xi was cleaning up and preparing to close the shop, Old Lu came over from next door.

"Preparing to close the shop?"

Even if it was late in the night, Old Lu still wore a presentable suit. He was immaculately dressed. He scanned Li Yao and Chen Xi, and his teeth hurt. "Aren't you curious about yourselves? Aren't you curious about how reality, that is concealed within the ordinary public, truly looks like?"

Chen Xi shook her head.

And continued to tidy up.

Old Lu was speechless. "…"

He looked towards Li Yao. This boy did not look like someone who could restrain himself.

Fine.

After this day of waiting, he was the one who could not restrain himself.

This was like being uninterested in an extremely exciting pornography film that someone's dormitory mate had downloaded and wanted to share with them!

They must be very gloomy.

Then that person would suspect if their dormitory mate was normal!

Old Lu looked at Li Yao, then at Chen Xi, then at Chen Xi again… He still wanted to look at Chen Xi when Li Yao could not take it anymore. "Old man, you are enough. Even if Chen Xi is good-looking, you can't look at her like that."

Like a pedophile!

Old Lu blushed. "It's not what you think."

He was a gentleman.

How could he have such dirty thoughts?

Anyway, in terms of age, he could already be Chen Xi's grandfather!

Li Yao poured a glass of whiskey at the bar table and pushed it to Old Lu. "Since we have already closed the shop, you can tell us if you want to. If you don't … then go back quickly and sleep. It's not good for the elderly to stay up late."

They would die easily.

Old Lu suppressed his impulse to smash Li Yao's dog head. He placed the dragon snake cane by his side and lifted the wine glass. His eyes dimmed gradually. "Then I'll start speaking?"
