At present,
everything had become completely clear.
The Tenryou Commission and the Kanjou Commission
had both been deceived by the Fatui. Perhaps they already knew the dangers, yet believed that with the Shogun present they could remain carefree.
"What a group of foolish people."
"But forget it."
"For now, it is not appropriate to take action. Instead, I should think about how to expand the influence."
Yae Miko now felt that Su Han's suggestion was indeed very good.
However, when it came to choosing a candidate, it seemed somewhat difficult.
The Fox clan now had only herself left.
As for the remaining little foxes, they were either useless or had not yet taken human form. None of them could be of any use.
"What a pity. That stubborn tengu is far too blindly loyal."
"So the only candidate left right now is that big fool from the oni clan?"
Yae Miko supported her chin with one hand while the other hand crossed out names from the list one by one.
In the end, she realized
that among Inazuma's yokai, the only one who met Su Han's conditions was the brainless Arataki Itto.
But no matter how she looked at it, he could not be compared to Torachiyo.
In terms of strength alone, he was inferior by countless times.
The most critical problem was still his brain. If she wanted him to act out a play, Yae Miko felt a headache just thinking about it.
It was like playing the lute to a cow.
"How did this turn into another deadlock..."
Yae Miko held her head, feeling that her good mood had disappeared again.
...
Liyue.
Su Han was forced awake early in the morning.
Yawning, he said to Paimon, "It's only eight o'clock. Can't you let me sleep a little longer?"
"Eight o'clock is still early? Lumine has been up training since six."
At this point,
Paimon looked at Su Han suspiciously and asked, "You also went to rest early yesterday. Why do you look so tired? Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Stop talking nonsense."
With Paimon's little tricks, how could Su Han not understand?
She definitely had something she wanted to ask of him.
And most likely, she had run out of money again.
"Hehe, you're really smart."
Paimon smiled broadly, rubbing her small hands together. She opened her mouth several times but did not know how to begin.
Seeing her like this, Su Han immediately guessed what the little fellow wanted.
"Are you short on money again?"
"Y-you... how did you know! I didn't even say anything yet."
Paimon widened her eyes, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
Su Han laughed at her expression and said, "Whenever you come looking for me, other than asking for money, do you have anything else?"
"Uh..."
Paimon tried hard to think, and her expression gradually became awkward.
She realized that every time she came to find Su Han, it was indeed to ask for pocket money.
And she always did it secretly.
Because Lumine did not allow her to do that.
"Alright, don't trouble yourself. Here is one million Mora, two months of pocket money. Same rule as always, don't let Lumine know."
"Wow, you're so generous! I know, just like yesterday. When you two were hugging and kissing, I pretended not to see anything, hehe."
After receiving the Mora,
Paimon immediately started laughing.
"As long as you understand. Go have fun."
"Mhm. This time I must buy Sumeru chocolate. It tastes really good. I'll bring some back for you later."
"No problem."
After sending Paimon away,
Su Han's drowsiness completely vanished. Looking at the bright sunlight, he began stretching his body in the courtyard.
As for last night,
sigh, he had not visited the Jade Chamber for quite a long time.
Naturally, those three little vixens had begun to miss him. So they secretly contacted him through the Den Den Mushi.
Originally, Su Han did not intend to go.
But seeing their cautious and pitiful manner, he finally could not bear to refuse and had a fierce battle with them.
In short, the process was extremely intense.
Among those three little vixens, aside from the one who was extremely good at swallowing, the other two had also mastered their own special skills.
One could make her body as soft as a water snake.
Another had actually started learning foreign languages.
This allowed Su Han to experience the profound depth of foreign language lessons.
He had thought he could rest after returning.
Yet in the middle of the night, Jean called him. The two chatted for a long time. When Barbara was mentioned, Jean said that this little sister-in-law missed him very much.
After hearing this,
Su Han had a feeling
that this sister-in-law did not simply miss him.
She might have other thoughts as well.
After exercising for a while, people from the Adventurers' Guild arrived.
Su Han exchanged a few polite words with Lan before she finally revealed her purpose.
"Purchasing 150,000 copies on commission? Does your Adventurers' Guild really have that much funding?"
Su Han poured Lan a cup of tea.
His eyes were filled with shock.
Could it be that he had misjudged? Was the woman in front of him actually a wealthy lady?
Lan smiled lightly and said, "Yes. The last commissioned purchase earned us quite a lot. At the same time, it greatly boosted the Adventurers' Guild's reputation. So this time our entire organization agreed to increase the purchase of comics. If you can update the next arc soon, we can purchase up to 180,000 copies."
"The Adventurers' Guild is indeed impressive."
Su Han opened the system and glanced at it.
The story of the Adventure King was actually only a few tens of thousands of copies away from the next volume.
These 150,000 copies were almost enough to push it to the volume after the next.
"So how many copies can you purchase?"
"How about 180,000? The next arc will be released today, and I guarantee it will be unprecedentedly exciting."
Upon hearing Su Han's reply,
Lan and Xin Ming's eyes filled with excitement.
Since Boss Su said so, the story of the Adventure King would definitely become even more exciting.
If it sold well, they would make an enormous profit.
"Alright then. We'll deliver the funds immediately. Please prepare the warehouse."
"No problem."
In less than an hour,
Lan returned with a large amount of Mora.
At the moment both sides completed the transaction,
Su Han heard the long-awaited voice of the system.
[Notification: Congratulations. Your system authority has been upgraded to Level 4. New manga-tier permissions have been unlocked.]
[Notification: Because your authority has increased, the system has gifted you one manga for free.]
[Notification: With the authority upgrade, you have been granted one enhancement opportunity for free, along with one high-tier lottery draw from the new manga world.]
[Notification: The current Myriad Worlds Manga System authority is Level 4. To upgrade further, you must accumulate total sales of 600,000 copies to unlock Level 5 authority.]
[Notification: Congratulations. The Adventure King manga permission has been upgraded to Level 6. You have obtained a brand-new lottery opportunity.]
"This feels amazing."
Looking at the series of system notifications,
the smile on Su Han's face grew wider and wider. The most important thing was that the system rewards had changed.
This time, without needing to sell anything first, he could immediately draw a high-tier reward from the new manga.
If he managed to obtain a manga from a high-level world, it would be incredible.
Su Han felt extremely impatient. He quickly told Xu Er to supervise the transport of the comics while he returned to his room to begin the draw.
"System, start the Adventure King world lottery."
"Yes, host."
The familiar prize pool appeared before him.
The treasures inside began spinning wildly.
Soon,
this time there was no surprise.
The Devil Fruit that Su Han had been waiting for finally appeared.
Above the black pointer,
there was clearly the shape of a fruit.
