Chapter 11: A Big Order, Level Three

Back on the Immortal Island, Qin Yueran’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She clenched her right hand into a fist and struck her left palm, visibly thrilled.

“Whoo, I can sell fruits and vegetables on the first floor!” Qin Yueran said rapidly. “Fruits and vegetables from Immortal Island are bound to be top quality, right?!”

“Need my help?” Huhu asked directly, clearly supportive of Qin Yueran.

“Of course. Can you help me get all the licenses—business license, health permit, and all that?” Qin Yueran paused. “No rush, we don’t have stock yet anyway.”

“Sure! I’ll also link it to the system so management will be easier,” Huhu nodded confidently. “Things like calculating turnover, taxes, and so on can all be handled through the system, very convenient.”

“Hehe, then I can just lie back and collect money,” Qin Yueran imagined the future.

“Hehe, me too,” Huhu said, looking equally hopeful.

The island’s scenery was breathtaking, a gentle breeze carrying faint sounds.

“Boss Qin!” From afar came Shi Qingyu’s voice.

Qin Yueran and Huhu exchanged a glance and quickly masked the joy on their faces.

They turned to look at Shi Qingyu, who was approaching leisurely. “Miss Shi, is there something you need?”

“Boss Qin, do you sell elixirs here?” Shi Qingyu asked eagerly.

“Elixirs?” Qin Yueran frowned. She knew well that their elixirs had no effect in this realm.

But the elixirs on hand were precisely those exchanged from their side.

Just as she was about to say no, Huhu poked her: “Xiao Ran, through system processing, you can get elixirs that they can use.”

Qin Yueran relaxed her brow and replied to Shi Qingyu, “Let me take a look first.”

Shi Qingyu nodded. “Thank you.”

“No trouble at all,” Qin Yueran waved, teleporting back to the inn to earn some points.

Watching Qin Yueran disappear, Shi Qingyu murmured, “Ripping through space? Then Boss Qin’s cultivation must be at least at the Divided Spirit level.”

Qin Yueran hadn’t told anyone she was just using the teleport function to be lazy, which only confirmed to Shi Qingyu her status as a formidable figure.

Though if she knew, she’d feel guilty—after all, she was just a fragile university graduate, even weaker than an average person.

At that moment, she began processing the elixirs according to Huhu’s instructions.

The commission was still twenty percent, which wasn’t a big deal since it was a no-cost trade.

The wool comes from the sheep—selling to them would bring a wave of points. Hehe.

They were truly three big spenders! Such generous cultivators... she prayed for their safety, hoping they’d meet other cultivators... or people?

Qin Yueran clasped her hands, silently offering a prayer.

She didn’t process many, just five bottles each of the basic usable elixirs: Rejuvenation Pill, Revival Pill, and Fasting Pill.

Originally, each bottle contained ten pills; after commission, it became eight. So she distributed the pills from one bottle into the other four, restoring them to ten pills per bottle.

Qin Yueran shook the bottle. “Did you hear that, Huhu? That’s the scent of points!”

Teleporting back to the main hall, she sent a message to Shi Qingyu and her companions, inviting them over.

***

Shi Qingyu and the others soon arrived, swords in hand, walking with the wind, their heroic bearing unmistakable...

Ah! The cultivation world was truly not lacking in beauties, both men and women, pleasing to the eye.

“Boss Qin, do you have elixirs?” The beauty asked excitedly, eyes shining with anticipation.

“Of course,” Qin Yueran said, producing the elixirs. “But only premium Rejuvenation Pills, premium Revival Pills, and low-grade Fasting Pills—four bottles each. All must be bought with points.”

“Premium Rejuvenation and Revival Pills are 15,000 points per bottle; low-grade Fasting Pills are 1,000 points each,” Qin Yueran quoted calmly but felt uneasy inside.

Was the price too high? Would they still want them?

“We’ll take them all,” Shi Qingyu said without hesitation.

“Okay,” Qin Yueran smiled, eyes narrowing. “That totals 124,000 points. Elixirs aren’t discounted; this is the original price.”

Shi Qingyu nodded, and the three each took one bottle of each type, paying individually.

Then Shi Qingyu bought the remaining elixirs for communal use.

“We won’t stay long. Thank you, Boss Qin,” Shi Qingyu bowed.

“Remember to introduce others when you meet people on the road,” Qin Yueran reminded.

“Of course,” Shi Qingyu nodded but furrowed her brow.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Yueran asked.

Shi Qingyu sighed. “Boss Qin, you might not know—the Black Mist realm has no direction or light. Once you leave, it’s hard to return.”

“That won’t be a problem,” Qin Yueran tapped the table with her index finger. “Don’t you have the Immortal Island system? It has navigation to guide you back along a route.”

The three brightened. “That’s great!”

“So you can bring people back, right?” Qin Yueran reasoned.

“That’s right!” they echoed, relieved to know they could return, easing their worries.

“We’ll be off then, Boss,” Shi Qingyu bowed again.

Qin Yueran waved. “Goodbye.”

Once they left, Huhu and Qin Yueran couldn’t contain their excitement: “One hundred twenty-four thousand! We made it!”

Huhu spun and flipped with joy. “Yay, next month I’m definitely not going to be last!”

Before Qin Yueran could react, Huhu, referring to next month, not this one, suddenly rubbed its cheek against hers. “Thanks, Xiao Ran!”

“Hehe, let’s get the farm up and running before customers arrive,” Qin Yueran said.

She wouldn’t have time to manage the farm once customers came.

“Good idea, but I suggest you check your level first,” Huhu advised.

Hearing this, Qin Yueran opened the panel, surprised: “Level three already!!!”

“Time to hire employees!” Huhu cheered.

***

“Please, please, please!” Qin Yueran was thrilled.

Freeing her hands! Although she only packed and unpacked orders, it meant no more serving food herself!

[Beep beep beep...]

“Ah!” Huhu exclaimed, opening its own system.

Qin Yueran asked, “What is it?”

“We need one special employee, the rest can be simulated robot staff,” Huhu frowned. “It never required a special employee before.”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Qin Yueran shrugged, unconcerned.

“Hmm... never mind that. More importantly, I suggest you check the store later,” Huhu said.

Qin Yueran saw the hopeful look in its eyes and raised an eyebrow, opening the store.

“Click on the shop owner’s exclusive store,” Huhu guided.

Qin Yueran clicked, then gasped.

“It’s cultivation manuals!”

“Yup!” Huhu chuckled. “A surprise, huh? Level three unlocks them. No previous host reached level three before.”

Level three required 100,000 points. The closest prior host took nearly a year to reach just over 80,000 points.

That host was from an ancient realm, daughter of a martial alliance leader, running an inn.

Martial artists loved freedom and couldn’t stay still. They’d manage the inn for a few days, then disappear to roam.

The location was good, so steady business would have meant quick leveling. But Huhu was used to being at the bottom; as long as there was income, it was fine.

Then the host left again and brought back a man...

The man was poisoned with an incurable toxin and wouldn’t live long. The host then managed the inn seriously for a while, saving points to buy medicine.

That was the main source of so many points—trying to save the man.

Once the medicine arrived, the host ran off with him.

She also told him about the system, so he killed the host, hoping to claim the treasure.

Huhu sighed, recalling the sad story.

How could the man know the system had its own consciousness?

Naturally, it wouldn’t choose the man as its new host, so it left that realm and began searching for a new host.

That’s how it came to Earth and encountered Qin Yueran, who had been intercepted.

It could only communicate with the Heaven Dao here.
