"Ah?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback. Why was this person so insistent on taking a photo together?

"Is it not okay?"

One Arrow, One Heart looked directly at Jiang Chen and said earnestly, "I'll give you a thousand gold coins for a photo, and if I could have a spot on your friend list, that would be even better!"

"A thousand gold coins?"

Jiang Chen murmured, feeling a bit surprised. That's quite a lot of money!

He brushed off his indifferent expression and smiled warmly, "Of course, it's okay!"

"Thank you, Mortal World!"

One Arrow, One Heart happily started the transaction with Jiang Chen.

Soon, a thousand gold coins were transferred!

One Arrow, One Heart immediately sent a friend request to Jiang Chen.

After accepting the friend request, she excitedly stood next to Jiang Chen and switched to selfie mode using the game's built-in recording feature.

She even adjusted the angle to include the bright moon in the sky behind them.

Then, she tilted her head slightly, leaned close to Jiang Chen's shoulder, and smiled with a "V" sign.

Not far away, a Magic Apprentice saw this scene and smiled wryly.

He couldn't imagine what kind of reaction the Master of Life and Death would have if he saw this.

If it were him, he would probably have already broken down.

"Got it!"

One Arrow, One Heart's voice rang out. She looked at Jiang Chen happily and said, "Mortal World, I'll print the photo and hope to get your autograph offline someday!"

"First a photo, then a friend request, and now offline plans—this was all premeditated!"

Jiang Chen thought to himself, realizing that earning that thousand gold coins might not be as easy as it seemed.

But he couldn't refuse after accepting the money, so he smiled and replied, "We'll see if there's a chance. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

With that, he turned and walked away.

"Goodbye, Mortal World!"

One Arrow, One Heart waved her arm.

"This person is too much..."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself as he walked towards the city gate without looking back. He still needed to go to Giant Deer City.

"Mortal World!"

Not far away, Qian Xingtianxia immediately caught up.

"Qian."

Jiang Chen looked at the newcomer.

"Mortal World, you killed the Master of Life and Death, which really helped me vent my anger. Here's some money for you!"

With that, Qian Xingtianxia quickly started a transaction with Jiang Chen.

Soon, another 2,500 gold coins were in hand!

This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.

When he went to the Adventurers' Guild, Jiang Chen could claim another 2,500 gold coins!

"Qian, if you need anything in the future, just let me know!" Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Qian Xingtianxia's way of solving problems with money was exactly to his liking!

"No problem, let's continue to work together if there's a chance!"

Qian Xingtianxia was also very pleased.

Having such a powerful ally would be greatly beneficial to him in the future!

"Alright, talk to you next time."

With that, Jiang Chen used the city gate's teleportation array to arrive at the Royal City Square.

In no time, he entered the first floor of the mansion and headed straight for the Adventurers' Guild.

Jiang Chen quickly arrived at the guild's front desk.

"Hello, sir, is there anything you need?" the maid receptionist asked with a bright smile.

"I'm here to submit an assassination mission," Jiang Chen said directly.

"Alright, here's the assassination mission list. You can submit it yourself."

The maid receptionist smiled slightly, and a light screen emitted from the transparent crystal ball.

There were various tasks listed.

One of them, "Kill the Master of Life and Death," showed as completed.

He quickly clicked on the light screen to submit the task.

[You have received 2,500 gold coins.]

Although this task disappeared, there was another identical task below.

The task to kill the Master of Life and Death was available four times, with a total bounty of ten thousand gold.

Jiang Chen accepted the task again.

After finishing, he quickly left the Adventurers' Guild.

"Take care, sir!"

The maid receptionist bowed politely.

"To Giant Deer City."

Jiang Chen murmured as he quickly walked out of the square towards the large teleportation array in the Royal City.

A few minutes later, he entered the teleportation array, put on the Faceless Mask, and activated the Transformation Stone.

At this moment, his name information was hidden, and his class aura disappeared.

Then, a white light flashed.

[You have been teleported to Giant Deer City!]

As the system prompt appeared, the scene before Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly changed, and he found himself in the teleportation array of Giant Deer City.

Around him, beams of light occasionally flashed as players came and went through the teleportation array.

Afterward.

Jiang Chen arrived at the Main City Square and entered the mansion.

The first floor of the mansion was brightly lit, with all kinds of shops available.

People inside were in groups, making it even more bustling than a regular mall.

Yet, in this lively place, five shops in the center were empty, without even a signboard.

Among these shops, there was one called the [Treasure Pavilion], which was also deserted, seemingly out of place with the world around it.

These were all Jiang Chen's shops.

"The business is really bad."

Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly and quickly walked over.

As soon as he entered the Treasure Pavilion, he saw a graceful figure standing inside, with her back to the door, doing something unknown.

"Sister Rui'er."

Jiang Chen called out.

"Jiang Chen?"

Xia Rui'er turned around, looking at the white mask on Jiang Chen's face, and frowned slightly.

Although she couldn't see his appearance, and even his voice had changed a bit, she couldn't think of anyone else who would call her Sister Rui'er here except Jiang Chen.

"It's me."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Why are you wearing a mask? Did you do something shady?"

Xia Rui'er smiled, teasing him.

"No choice, too many fans." Jiang Chen laughed.

"Too many fans? More like too many enemies."

Xia Rui'er pursed her lips and then said, "Is the boss here to inspect the work?"

"Don't call me boss."

Jiang Chen smiled wryly and asked, "Why is the shop so deserted?"

"You have nothing to sell, how could it not be deserted?"

Xia Rui'er rolled her eyes.

"Didn't I put six gold-level pieces of equipment on the shelves?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

"Report to the boss, they're all sold out!"

Xia Rui'er replied quickly with a smile, "A total of 112,400 gold coins, satisfied?"

"112,000 gold!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the shop's treasury to check.

[Treasury balance: gold coins.]

Seeing the gold coins inside, Jiang Chen quickly transferred them to his backpack.

[You have received gold coins.]

"To be honest, I'm amazed. I can't believe those people are so rich. I'm still wondering if these gold coins can really be exchanged for RMB. This money comes too easily!"

Xia Rui'er sighed.

Although she hadn't sold gold coins, she knew the exchange rate, and it was equivalent to over ten million RMB, which completely blew her mind.

"Easy?"

Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "It's not easy. Do you think everyone can be as powerful as me and get so many gold-level pieces of equipment?"

"Yes, you're amazing."

Xia Rui'er responded half-heartedly.

Jiang Chen didn't continue the topic and asked directly, "By the way, weren't you making costumes? Why aren't they on sale?"

Xia Rui'er replied, "I'm not familiar with the game, so I don't know the appropriate pricing. I was waiting for you to set the prices."

"True."

Jiang Chen nodded and asked, "How many costumes have you made now?"

"I'm currently a junior tailor, and I can make 10 'Bright Moon Dresses' or 6 'Sunlight Tassel Skirts' per hour."

"I've already made 40 'Bright Moon Dresses' and 23 'Sunlight Tassel Skirts.' Once I finish the last one, I'm planning to rest for the day."

Xia Rui'er said seriously, treating this as a job.

"What about the material costs?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The Bright Moon Dress costs about 1 gold, and the Sunlight Tassel Skirt about 2 gold. Anyway, the 100 gold you mailed me is almost gone," Xia Rui'er replied.

"Find a vacant shop nearby, come up with a shop name, and have a grand opening sale. Price the Bright Moon Dress at 5 gold each and the Sunlight Tassel Skirt at 10 gold each, and see how it goes."

Jiang Chen decided to make a name for the shop first.

Creating a well-known brand is the most profitable.

"Are the vacant shops next door yours too?"

Xia Rui'er was taken aback.

"Those are all mine. Pick any one to use as a costume shop, come up with a name, and handle it all. I probably won't have much time to visit the shop," Jiang Chen replied.

"A hands-off boss, huh."

Xia Rui'er muttered.

"Pretty much."

Jiang Chen smiled and then remembered something, "Oh, help me out. Make a costume for me first."

He took out a costume blueprint from his backpack and handed it to Xia Rui'er.

It was a [Refined Blue Robe Blueprint (Common)] he had obtained earlier.

Xia Rui'er glanced at the blueprint and asked, "Do you need it now?"

Jiang Chen replied, "If you're planning to rest, tomorrow is fine."

"This is a common-level costume, very easy to make. It only takes a few minutes. I'll make one for you first."

Xia Rui'er quickly learned the blueprint.

Jiang Chen: "Thanks."

"Well, you're the boss."

Xia Rui'er said as she prepared to make the costume.

Jiang Chen went to the other vacant shops and set the shop manager positions to Xia Rui'er's game ID [Rui'er].

This way, she had the authority to manage these shops.

A few minutes later.

"Boss, it's ready!"

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, Xia Rui'er handed a costume to Jiang Chen.

[You have received a Refined Blue Robe (Common)!]

Jiang Chen quickly put it on.

Immediately, the appearance of his robe changed to a blue long robe.

Now, without a staff, no one would know what class he was.
