I'm a male god in Liyue

Page 217

The proprietress, Ji Fang, stood behind the counter, reading a book.

Zhu Zi spotted the boss's book at a glance.

"Boss, I want this 'Cultivation Begins with Breaking Off the Engagement', 12 copies."

"it is good."

"Can you give me a discount?"

New books are not discounted.

"I bought a lot!"

"Buying too much is also not allowed."

"Then give me a dictionary! It's all covered in dust, you can't sell it anyway."

"……All right."

"I want that Mondstadt-Liyue dictionary."

"Together it's 1200 Mora."

"Here!"

"see you next time."

"Will do."

Zhu Zi took the book and handed the dictionary to Diona: "Here you go."

"Senior Zhu Zi."

"You can use a dictionary to slowly refer to the book."

"Actually, I didn't really want to see it..."

"It's okay, you'll need the dictionary later anyway."

"Oh."

Diona, with an expression that suggested she could only accept her senior's kindness, took the dictionary in her hand, then helped Zhu Zi carry a few novels, and they returned to the small shop together.

"Boss, we've bought the novel!"

"Well, hard work."

"There are so few people buying books in the bookstore!"

"This is what the first day was like."

"I feel that Wanwenjisha is not good enough. Every time Inazuma's Yaedo releases a new book, they put up notices and advertise outside the store!"

"Really? We can advertise ourselves."

"Hey?"

"Go get some paper and pen. I'll write a notice and post it on the door when we open tomorrow, Monday. It will say that customers who bring this novel to the store can enjoy a 50% discount."

"What a loss!"

"Advertising always costs money, and we're not short of cash."

"Oh."

Write a notice and distribute the novels you bought to everyone, one for each person, and place one on each table for the rest.

Zhu Zi seemed to remember something, and holding up the book she was holding, she leaned over and said, "Boss, could you sign this for me?"

"sign?"

"Yes, Yaedo sells autographed copies of their novels, which cost twice as much as the regular editions!"

"The owner of Yaedo really knows how to do business... I've signed it for you."

"thank you boss!"

"It's okay. What about you? Do you need to sign too?"

"want!"

So, Xia Zhi indulged in another book signing, signing his name, "Rainy Night with a Knife but No Umbrella," on each novel.

Miss Akabane asked curiously, "Boss, why do you use this pen name?"

"This... is a secret."

"?"

"Don't you think this pen name has a nice charm?"

"Like an assassin!"

"Yes, I've wanted to be an assassin since I was a child."

"!"

Do you know what a hidden blade is?

"what is that?"

"A weapon used exclusively by assassins, hidden in their hands, where everything else is in vain... Never mind, I can't explain it to you anyway, I'll write it in a novel sometime in the future."

"Boss, when are you going to write the sequel?"

"I guess I get inspiration from what I look at."

"Oh."

In the afternoon, Yao Yao came over, and Xia Zhi gave her a signed copy of the novel.

The little girl was overjoyed.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Today is October 1st, everyone is here, it's time to pay wages."

"Great!"

"Go and bring all the money from the warehouse."

"Ok!"

"Everyone had perfect attendance last month. Diona was two days late, but she still got perfect attendance. As for the basic salary, Yaoyao got 5000, and everyone else got 1. Then there are the bonuses. Everyone worked very hard, so I gave everyone an excellent rating. Since the novel we signed was published, I'll give everyone a 2000 bonus."

"thank you boss!"

"The money is all on the table, count it yourself."

"Ok!"

“Miss Akabane, your massage bill from last month will also be deducted.”

"Oh... Oh."

Yuehai Pavilion.

Private intelligence officer Hyakumon is giving Ningguang a routine report.

Finally, she added, "Lady Ningguang, Mr. Xia's novel, which he signed with Liyue Publishing, was released today."

"Oh?"

"I've already bought a copy, would you like to read it?"

"Well, show me."

Baiwen took out a novel and handed it to Ningguang.

Ningguang asked with interest: "Cultivation begins with breaking off an engagement? An interesting title..."

She opened the novel and began to read.

Before long, she finished reading the whole book, and her expression became a little strange.

"This book...is really special...it should be a bestseller..."

Chapter 205 Sour Plum Candy is Sweet

at night.

Diona slowly read the novel by the light of the four-panel lamp, referring to the dictionary.

Qiqi got tired from picking herbs on the mountain, put down her basket, leaned against a tree, and slowly read a novel by the moonlight.

Shen He sat at the table, arranged the Seven Star Lamp, and picked up a novel to read slowly.

After finishing the novel, it was about time, and Shen He began to dream.

Arriving at the boss's meditation space, she sat on his lap as usual to play games, with a sour plum candy in her mouth.

But unlike before, today she often recalls certain plot points from the novel, and then she feels her body becoming somewhat strange.
