Chapter 134: High Returns
Jiang Butong did not arrive at the store until he had finished his other affairs.
He had expected a massive turnout for the grand opening yesterday, and while he thought the second day might be less frantic, he had underestimated the potential of Meterbang; the number of customers clamoring to shop was overwhelming.
Seven or eight security guards were still stationed at the entrance of Meterbang to maintain order. Su Wenyue and Zhou Haiyan were busy selling clothes without a moment's respite, and Jiang Butong noted that the queue remained impressively long.
...
"Good heavens, this has truly blown up," Zhan Xiu muttered to himself, inwardly lamenting. "I had every intention of leaving, but now that I've accidentally played the part of a renowned physician, it looks like I'll have to make a quick getaway."
Ding Xiao gave a whistle, a gesture of praise and appreciation for Mao Xian. Mao Xian wiggled its body and held its head high to show off in front of Da Guaiguai, only to be slapped in the face by the latter's thick tail.
Midway through their journey, Ji Fa learned that the merchant caravans traveling to Licheong for the Nine Seedlings Shop were not from their own tribe, but were instead operated by a tributary state known as the Youyi Tribe, who specialized in the transport of goods.
"Don't speak, just listen to me. Something is wrong here!" Hu Shun-tang lowered his head, shielding his mouth from the surveillance camera's view.
Just as Ji Fa’s heart surged with alarm, the shadow on the ground suddenly flickered. A cold, sinister aura struck directly toward his chest. Terror-stricken and unable to think, Ji Fa instinctively shifted into a defensive stance to protect his vitals.
Mo Ran clapped silently from the side. Everyone agreed it was excellent, but Ziyan’s analysis was the most comprehensive and insightful.
After securing the rubber trees, the group decided to first head to South Africa. If the location proved suitable, they would establish their architectural base there. Over the years, Crystal had produced numerous intelligent engineering robots; once they located the necessary resources, they could construct the base, and once operational, everything would return to normal.
Including Charles, the others nodded noncommittally. To the people of the Middle Earth Continent, they were indeed quite strange.
Given these premises, Zhan Tianya was forced to ponder the two starting points of every problem: 1. Who was he? 2. Why did the Queen Bee place such "importance" on him?
In the second quarter, the Warriors finally adjusted their strategy. Abandoning their aimless long-range shooting beyond the three-point line, they began to seek opportunities in the mid-range.
She looked at him with an expression of indifference. Her beautiful, full lips were stained a vibrant crimson, carrying an air of pride, flamboyance, and disdain. Like a phoenix, the king of all birds, she possessed an inherent, overwhelming majesty, treating all plots and schemes with contempt, born with the aura of a ruler.
"I said I regret letting you go. Do you believe me?" Tian Jiao looked at Gu Lian, his eyes filled with deep expectation.
Pei Yueyue did not want to send a text or engage in a voice chat this time; she called Gu Lian directly.
The Abbess understood every thought passing through Bing Lian’s mind. She knew well that Bing Lian suffered daily from the pain of longing, making this palm technique the most suitable for her. Bing Lian also yearned to descend the mountain to find the one she missed, but she was distressed by her current inability to protect herself. With this technique and a year of practice, she was certain to intensify her training and achieve rapid progress.
After seeing Yu Youjia off, Yin Rongyu immediately became lively and spirited, leaving Chen Xing and Pei Yueyue, who had been standing beside him, speechless.
It had to be Liu Xinhu; who else could it be? Otherwise, why would those people spread rumors that she had been coerced, or that she had only come because she feared gossip about her neglecting her fiancé?
Ning Qianhan was so furious he gnashed his teeth. As a grandmaster, he had set out from the mountain with a team, full of high spirits and determined to achieve great glory. He had never expected that, without accomplishing a single thing, he would be endlessly humiliated by this scoundrel.
"There is nothing to envy," Li Wuxin said with a beaming smile as she looked at Nian Youwei. Her eyes were filled with gentleness, and as she tucked her arm into Ling Jing’s, she smiled at Nian Youwei.
The production team had to ensure that once the program began airing, there would be highlights and talking points in every episode. Consequently, they meticulously designed various plotlines during the recording process to facilitate promotional guidance once the show went live.
