Chapter 579: Agave (1/2)
”Achooo!”
I rubbed my nose. As expected, even though my body had been strengthened by the virus, I was still an ordinary person. I had been drenched in the rain and I hadn’t even had a chance to take a hot bath, so I ended up with the expected cold.
Silvery laughter that tinkled like small bells rang out from behind me. He Yi and Murong Mingyue walked in the hospital room together and Murong Mingyue was holding a cup of hot tea. She smiled as she said, ”Lu Chen, here’s some cold medicine. Drink it first. We still have a lot of work to do today…”
I took the cup of hot tea and sniffed it. The strong smell of medicinal herbs immediately hit my nose, this was definitely some Chinese cold remedy.
I drank it down in one gulp.
Ah, that felt good!
”What are you going to be busy with today?” I asked.
He Yi laughed. ”I need to take a trip to Nanjing. There are some formalities there that I need to handle personally. That’s because the GGS Nanjing Branch will simply ignore me if I don’t go there and force things to happen. Oh, we’ll also be able to get the company permit later in the morning. Heehee, Raincube Corporation is about to officially open for business!”
I chuckled as I nodded my head. ”Okay, so what can I do?”
He Yi giggled as she patted me on the shoulder. ”Raincube’s most important mission is to provide technical support for Blue Star and the Eternal Moon Corporation. Hmmm, as for your role. I am going to build a Raincube Company virtual gaming hub. You will be in charge of this hub’s security. Hehe, basically you will be the ace fighter who protects our holdings. The strongest shield who will guard against any attacks on our virtual gaming hub. Perhaps, we can sign ourselves to our own company once we have finished our contract with Lenovo.”
”Okay! Also… when you say that I’m your ace fighter who’s in charge of protecting everyone, does that mean that I’m like the martial scholar in the Flirting Scholar? I asked.
He Yi nearly spat out whatever she was drinking before she said, ”Why? Do you also want to have your own Sister Pomegranate?”
”Oh, no, no! My tastes aren’t that exotic!”
”Heehee~”
……
I looked toward Murong Mingyue and said, ”Sis Mingyue, the hospital is discharging you today!? It would be best for you to rest for another two days. I mean, you suffered a bad shock yesterday, so it won’t be easy for you to move about…”
”Fuck my life. How was I supposed to know? Dammit…” I grumbled to myself angrily.
However, I wasn’t expecting her to suddenly step forward and kiss me on the cheek. She laughed before she said, ”Oh, alright. Don’t grumble so much. It’s time for you, our martial scholar, to go back and keep watch over the house. I’ll accompany Eve to Nanjing today. We’ll have an experienced driver at the wheel, so you won’t need to worry about us.”
”Hmm, okay. But are you coming back home first!?”
”Of course I am! I need to change my clothes at the very least. My clothes were completely drenched by the rain yesterday and they’re still not dry!”
”Okay!”
Of course, everyone had gotten drenched last night. But if all of us could make it home safe and sound, it was worth it.
……
We found Beiming Xue, who had gone to buy breakfast. After we finished eating, we headed back to the workshop and took turns to wash up. After that, Murong Mingyue and He Yi changed into fresh clothes and immediately left for Nanjing with bloodshot eyes. They had run themselves ragged the last few days, and laymen like Beiming Xue and I hadn’t been able to help. We could only do what we were good at, and that was to protect Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls and Dark Moon City. We needed to provide the Raincube Corporation with as much virtual firepower as possible!
He Yi had also said something else. The Raincube Corporation was a newly-established company, so they were in desperate need of capital. Any monetary contributions would be great boons to the fledgling company, so I transferred ten million RMB of the twelve million RMB I had in my card to He Yi. Even though it wasn’t much, it could pay for a portion of Raincube’s salaries for three months. I still had to continue earning money after that, because He Yi’s company was based on a shareholding system. She owned 50% of the stock, and she gave Murong Mingyue, Beiming Xue, and I 10% each. She would use the remaining 20% to attract investors.
All in all, they were building the company using GGS as the foundation while also banking on He Yi’s influence in China and the Asia Pacific Region, so it was clear that Raincube Corporation would become an influential and powerful existence in the country. This was especially true because Raincube’s technological expertise stood at the very top of Asia and even the world! It was precisely because of this point that the Eternal Moon Corporation and Blue Star would be willing to entertain He Yi and agree to cooperate with Raincube.
After we sent the two ladies off, Beiming Xue and I went online. It was time to put our noses back to the grindstone!
……
Wooosh!
I appeared in the main square of Sky City and I swiftly received more than ten consecutive auction house notifications. I had sold all of the items I had put up for sale. The Bloody Dawn sets went for at least 250000 RMB and the highest price I got for one of them was 470000 RMB. There really were a lot of rich people in the world!
As for the other items I had put up for sale, the Earth Fiend War Boots, Earth Fiend Helmet, and Earth Fiend Battle Armor had been bought by the same player and they sold for a grand total of 3750000 RMB. The Tempest Staff, an excellent magic staff in its own right, actually sold for 1400000 RMB all by itself! As a result, I had earned nearly ten million RMB just from the sale of the itemsI had farmed yesterday! This had turned out to be an unbelievable harvest!
Of course, this was also because I had gotten very lucky. All the items I had gotten yesterday were extremely desirable. If my luck had been poor, I would only have been able to get normal Dark Gold and Purple Gold–grade items. Even if I had been able to get Spirit or Earth–grade items, they wouldn’t be Outstanding either. In the end, I would only have been able to sell those items for less than one hundred thousand RMB. That was the worst-case scenario, but it was also something that could easily happen.
