Chapter 1483 - Mom, you no longer have to worry about me not finding a job after graduation (2 in 1) (1/2)

The puppet maiden was pretty much in a perfect state at this time, and there were only a few minor details that had to be taken care of. However, it would be necessary to find a professional puppet master to take care of that. Aside from that, she could repair herself, and the entire maintenance process did not need others’ involvement.

Song Shuhang had only needed to provide her with the materials that he got from Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.

In addition to that, he had allowed her to choose from the leftover materials he had left after forging the Combined Magical Treasure, as well as from the materials that Senior White had dug up in the Wielder’s small black room.

The puppet maiden was brought out from the spatial bracelet.

At this time, in terms of appearance, she looked no different from an ordinary human. It was just that her face was stiff and expressionless. “???” After appearing, the puppet maiden’s orange eyes stared at Song Shuhang and shone. Song Shuhang said, “Will you accompany me on a walk?”

The puppet maiden’s orange pupils flickered, as if sending a message. “What are you trying to say?” Song Shuhang looked puzzled. The puppet maiden shook her head, and then nodded. After that, she turned and strode forward. It was probably due not to having been completely restored yet, but when the puppet maiden walked, she did so rather awkwardly by moving her arms and legs at the same time. Song Shuhang asked, “Is your restoration not complete yet? Do you need any more materials?” The puppet maiden shook her head, and continued to move forward. Western Orchid Island was very prosperous, and the things that were being sold on the streets came from all over the world. Song Shuhang was considering whether to bring home some special products. As they walked, the puppet maiden suddenly stopped. Afterward, she bent down and picked up a ball of wire from the ground.

It wasn’t a treasure, just a very ordinary entangled iron wire.

After picking up the wire, she stretched out her hand and patted off the dust on it before continuing to walk with Song Shuhang.

Along the way, Song Shuhang casually bought some clothes. Recently, due to his body suddenly exploding a few times, he had ended up using up a lot of his clothes. As such, he decided to purchase a few more sets and store them in the Inner World, just in case. Song Shuhang casually asked, “Do you want to buy something?” The puppet maiden shook her head while her hands kept fiddling with the ball of wire. Song Shuhang carried the clothes and strolled with her.

Up until now, the puppet maiden hadn’t said a word… the atmosphere as they strolled around remained rather awkward.

I remember that she should have the ability to speak. At this time, the puppet maiden stopped again. She bent down and picked up a gla.s.s bead from the ground. Then, her hands quickly went back to fiddling with the wire. After a while, she stretched out her hand and handed something to Song Shuhang. It was a small tower made of delicate iron wire; it was simple and beautiful. At the uppermost layer of the tower was the gla.s.s bead, reflecting sunlight. Song Shuhang exclaimed, “Awesome!” The puppet maiden nodded in satisfaction.

After that, she pointed at the iron tower, slightly opened her mouth, and quickly chanted a spell.

Song Shuhang looked at the puppet maiden in puzzlement.

What is she doing? After chanting, the puppet maiden relaxed her finger.

In the next moment, the iron tower woven from ordinary iron wire exuded a faint light that only pract.i.tioners could see.

It was actually emitting light!

After the puppet maiden consecrated the iron tower, the pedestrians who were coming and going were involuntarily attracted to the woven iron tower. The pedestrians were just ordinary people who had not cultivated before, and could not see the light exuding from the iron tower. However, the tower seemed to possess a special charm that made others unable to move their eyes away from it.

Their instincts told them that this iron tower was a treasure.

In fact, the puppet maiden was an existence at the Eighth Stage. This iron tower she had consecrated could indeed be considered as a treasure.

The pedestrians stared at the tower intently, desire burning in their eyes. “…” Song Shuhang. Eventually, someone took the initiative to ask about it. “Little girl, are you selling this tower?” one person asked the puppet maiden in English with a strong local accent. The puppet maiden shook her head. After being rejected, the pedestrian left in disappointment. However, more pedestrians approached the puppet maiden after he failed. Some of them directly quoted a price, while some others tried to exchange for the iron tower with precious items. Song Shuhang looked up at the sky. He suddenly discovered something—it was really easy for pract.i.tioners to make money. The puppet maiden had just casually read a spell. As a result, the value of the ordinary hand-made iron tower had increased by 100 times. The pedestrians were rejected one after the other, but they didn’t give up. They began using various tricks and means to try and acquire the iron tower from the puppet maiden.

Then…

A towering young man succeeded.

A ring on his finger had attracted the puppet maiden’s curiosity, which allowed him to use that silver-white skull ring to exchange for the iron tower.

The silver-white skull ring was just a very ordinary ornament. It was made of silver, and was not worth more than a few dollars.

After the puppet maiden got the ring, she continued to stroll along with Shuhang while playing with it. After a while, she reached out and took the skull off the ring, throwing it aside.

Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Is it a treasure?”

The puppet maiden shook her head, and finally communicated with Song Shuhang. Using the secret sound transmission technique, she said, “No, it’s a very ordinary silver ring. However, its owner’s luck has been very good recently. He has worn this silver ring for a long time, and so some of his luck has affected it. With it, you will have good luck.” Song Shuhang said, “Is that so? I knew I should have gotten some of Senior White’s hair.”

The puppet maiden replied, “Your luck is good, but it’s quite weird.”

After that, she reached out again to point at the ring, and then began to consecrate the ring.

After the ring was blessed, it became something that attracted the pedestrians’ attention.

Then…

The puppet maiden managed to exchange the ring for a silver flask.

And then…

The silver flask was exchanged with a slender smoking pipe.

Then…

The pipe was exchanged with a crystal bottle with perfume. Song Shuhang had originally planned to go shopping. However, they had spent most of their time bartering. Two hours later. Song Shuhang’s shopping definitely came to an end.

At this time, his arms were crossed as he sat at the cash register of a small restaurant. He was still very puzzled at this time—and that was because he had become the owner of this small restaurant.

The original owner had traded off this small restaurant to the puppet maiden and ran away happily. Store owners.h.i.+p transferral procedure on Western Orchid Island was extremely convenient and simple. Both parties only needed to sign a contract and then apply for registration online. Soon after, the management of Western Orchid Island would come over to conduct an audit and collect fees. Fifteen minutes later, the property rights and certificates of the store were transferred under Song Shuhang’s name. The whole process was simple. Song Shuhang received the certificate in bewilderment.

Mom, although you’re far away in Wenzhou City, your son has somehow become the owner of a small restaurant in Western Orchid Island overseas. As such, you won’t have to worry about me not finding a job after I graduate from college.

The small restaurant was not big, and it only had six tables.

The original boss was a part-time cook, while the boss’s wife had been responsible for the cash register. Now that the owner and his wife were gone, the small restaurant didn’t even have a cook. Song Shuhang had his arms crossed and was in a daze.

The puppet maiden sat beside him in the same posture.

Song Shuhang asked, “Fairy maiden, can you cook?”

The puppet maiden shook her head. Song Shuhang turned his attention to the Inner World again. Senior Turtle? There was not even a need to consider this-it was definitely not able to cook; it could be an ingredient at most. Lady Onion? She could at most offer some onion sprouts. Pavilion Master Chu? She currently only had her head.

Li Yinzhu’s cuteness was no good here. Selling her cuteness in the store would definitely attract customers, but she was no good when it came to cooking. Moreover, she would freeze the food with her breath.

In the end, only Chu Chu was left. Among all the creatures in the Inner World, it was Chu Chu who looked the most reliable. Chu Chu had just finished practicing. Recently, she had been changing her cultivation technique, and she had switched to the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique). Therefore, she was often in a state of meditation. “Chu Chu.” Song Shuhang contacted her. Chu Chu raised her head. “Teacher, you called for me?”

Song Shuhang asked, “Can you cook?”

“???”

Chu Chu. Song Shuhang said, “I somehow became the owner of a restaurant, and now I’m lacking a chef.”

“…” Chu Chu.

Song Shuhang asked again, “Can you?” Chu Chu sincerely replied, “I can only cook some very ordinary dishes.” Song Shuhang said, “Then you’ll be the one! The first task that your teacher gives you is to become the chef of your teacher’s restaurant.” The corners of Chu Chu’s mouth twitched. “Disciple obeys.”

While there were no guests in the small restaurant, Song Shuhang quietly moved Chu Chu out of the Inner World.

Song Shuhang asked, “Say, do cultivators have any special methods, such as adding something like pill liquid to a dish, to immediately make a dish delicious?”
