I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 91 What about me? Doesn't my opinion matter? [3500]

There is a shipping dock on the east bank of the river, and in front of the dock is a square where the performance takes place.

After Li Yan and his group of four approached the area, a considerable number of people had already gathered around to watch.

"Wow, so many people! It seems like quite a few are from our class," Jiang Yingzhu remarked.

Seemingly to compete, Yu Bing whispered, "There are quite a few from our class too."

Jiang Yingzhu chuckled, and Li Yan tugged at her, "There's an empty seat over there, let's go."

Li Yan didn't really want to watch this kind of performance. Firstly, he had seen it in his previous life, and secondly, it was indeed very boring.

Then a burly man with tattoos and bare arms came up, first showing everyone the large snake in the bag, and then began to play with some smaller snakes.

The snakes grew larger one by one, and finally the biggest snake was released for everyone to see.

The whole process will take at least an hour or two to finish.

After the performance, they'll sell some small items, which is the main attraction.

It's just a way to fool people who haven't seen it before and pique their curiosity.

However, even though Li Yan knew the outcome, he wouldn't stop Jiang Yingzhu and the others from coming to watch.

After all, it was a new experience for them.

An hour later, the acrobatic performance stall started selling goods.

Mei Mengqian yawned, feeling that all her energy had been wasted.

"Zhuzhu, I'm a little hungry. Let's go buy something to eat."

"Fine, this is so boring! I'm never watching it again!" Jiang Yingzhu said angrily. "They're a complete liar, they tricked my curiosity!"

A multitude of similar complaints circulated around them, and everyone dispersed.

"Hey you, where's the King of Nonsense?!" Jiang Yingzhu turned her head in confusion.

"They've gone to the fruit stand over there," Li Yan pointed in a direction. "Would you like to have some fruit to tide you over?"

"want!"

"I also want!"

So the three of them walked over, where there were pedestrians taking a stroll and children.

When the group caught up with Yu Bing, they saw her heading towards a person sitting on the grass, looking at the scenery, with glowing wings on their back.

He praised her in a condescending tone:

"Little friend, your wings are so beautiful!"

"I am your grandmother!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a deep, hoarse, and resonant voice rang out.

The child sitting on the ground stood up and was about the same height as Yu Bing, but much more robust; she was clearly a woman in her fifties or sixties.

Yu Bing was completely stunned, her delicate face blank.

Just then, Jiang Yingzhu arrived and, without hesitation, burst into mocking laughter.

Mei Mengqian pursed her lips. "Poor Yu Bing. One act of extroversion led to a lifetime of introversion. I feel like she'll never praise others casually again!"

"You know yourself very well, are you talking about yourself?" Li Yan teased, looking at her mischievously.

"Ugh, Li Yan! You're so annoying!"

Mei Mengqian gave a soft hum and walked over to pat Yu Bing on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's normal to misread things in such dim light. Don't mind Zhuzhu, she's just like that."

Yu Bing bit her cheek and nodded, her previously tearful expression finally softening.

"Mengmeng, why are you comforting her? If I laugh a few more times, I'll see her cry," Jiang Yingzhu said with a hint of regret.

Yu Bing's eyes widened immediately. "I won't cry! Mei Mengqian, I'll treat you to some fruit!"

As she spoke, she pulled Mei Mengqian toward a fruit stand not far away.

The fruit stalls not only sell fresh fruit, but also fruit platters.

Upon getting closer, Mei Mengqian and Yu Bing discovered that Yang Xiong, Xiao Shuai, and others from their class were also there.

They stood around the stall, pointing and laughing like idiots from the next village.

Li Yan also noticed this scene, and when he scanned the fruit stand with his divine sense, he immediately understood.

At this moment, Mei Mengqian and her two companions, who had arrived at the fruit stand, stared blankly at the abundance of fruit.

The strawberries in the basket looked delicious, but the sign said they were poisonous.

The kiwis on the side looked very fresh, but the label said "Mihu Peach".

And then there were the bananas in the basket, which were quite eye-catching. (It's not worth taking; apples tend to break easily.)

Jiang Yingzhu, following behind, saw all this and burst out laughing. She then said to the old man on the tricycle introducing the fruit:
"Sir, you've misspelled the names of these fruits! There are typos!"

"Oh, oh! I know!"

The old man nodded and waved his hand dismissively, "What would you like to order, young lady?"

"I'd like a box of strawberries, sir. I'll change it for you," Jiang Yingzhu said with a smile, starting to look for a marker in Mei Mengqian's bag.

“I’ll fix it, my handwriting is better!” Yu Bing raised her hand high, her small face shining under the streetlight.

The old man packed the fruit they wanted and gave it to them, waving his hand repeatedly.

"No changes, no changes, thank you!"

"Why? Grandpa, we don't want money," Mei Mengqian said.

"no no."

The old man smiled and shook his head, as if he often explained things to others, his face carrying a hint of reminiscence.

"This was written for me by my grandson. He writes it well, and if I use it, business will keep coming in. Other people's writing is not good, and if I use it, no one will come."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu and the other two nodded as if they understood.

"Then why don't you let your grandson write the correct one?"

The old man sighed and shook his fan.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go study in the big city! The old ways are good, so good!"

“It’s alright, sir, your grandson will come back!” Mei Mengqian said.

"Why did I come back? That brat beats my wife every time he comes back. What's the point of coming back?!" the old man said angrily.

Everyone was shocked and began to rebuke them.

Li Yan noticed a large yellow dog on the ground raising its head, so he asked, "Who is your wife?"

"Oh, here they are, old lady, say hello to them!" the old man said to the big yellow dog on the ground.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Jiang Yingzhu scratched her head, feeling the heavy atmosphere suddenly become strange. Speechless, she pulled the others away.

Just then, Mei Mengqian asked with some confusion, "Why is it that no one pays attention even though it's written correctly?"

“Because it has no special features.” Li Yan picked up a star fruit from her box.

"That's called a selling point, a differentiated competitive advantage."

"What do you mean?" "It means that if the old man weren't such a typo king, you would forget about him as soon as you turn around. Even if you come to the park next time, you wouldn't think of him, much less buy fruit from him," Li Yan said.

Yu Bing exclaimed in surprise, "Li Yan, you're so smart, you even know that!"

Jiang Yingzhu, unusually, did not disagree and nodded.

"Of course, that's why I came in first place."

Li Yan enjoyed the adoration of the beautiful girl for a while, and then left the park with the three of them.

Outside the station, Jiang Yingzhu watched Yu Bing board the bus before saying:

"Come on, you damn dog! Let's go, I'm going to overtake the bus and shock that little kid to death!"

Li Yan shook his head and pulled him back.

"Alright, we're not going in the same direction."

"Oh. I forgot."

Mei Mengqian covered her mouth and chuckled.

The three rode away from there, and Xiao Shuai, Ma Liang, Zhang Wei, and Yu Bin, a group of four, also came out of the park behind them.

"Hey, Xiao Shuai, you were right this time! The school didn't release the results right after the exams," Ma Liang said excitedly.

"That way I won't get beaten up during the holidays!"

"The school does show some humanity sometimes," Zhang Wei said.

"But Liangzi, the exam results will definitely come out after the holiday. Then you won't be able to hide from Yu Bin's house anymore. What will you do then?"

Ma Liang shook his head. "Never mind, let's live for today. The one who gets beaten up is me ten days from now, what does it have to do with me now? Let's go all night!"

“Let’s go, the four of us, plus Ye Daijia, we can form a team!” Yu Bin said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuai was a little puzzled, "Ye Daijia, didn't he say on the way that he saw Ye Hui and was going to ask her out?"

“Hey, look.” Yu Bin showed his phone.

When Xiao Shuai and the others looked over, they saw that it was a photograph, right by the roadside.

The photo shows squad leader Ye Hui getting into a car.

Below are some words from Ye Daijia.

"It's over, I feel like there's no hope left!"

Seeing this, Xiao Shuai scratched his head and said, "This car looks really cool. It must have cost a lot of money."

“Doesn’t Ye Daijia always brag to outsiders about how rich his family is?” Zhang Wei said. “Last time he bragged about it, he even treated us to a meal at a restaurant.”

Yu Bin chuckled, "You can't judge a book by its cover. This is a Ferrari!"

"Ye Daijia's family owns a small factory; they probably have to sell the factory to afford it."

"Wow, the class monitor is so rich!" Ma Liang exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems to be a shareholder of a high-end brand, but I'm not really sure." Yu Bin shook his head. "Let's not talk about that. Let's go to the internet cafe!"

······
At home, Li Yan browsed through family records, recalling information about these people.

After several days of observation, and based on his experience in alchemy and his own calculations of the effects after taking the medicine, he discovered that the effects of the medicine he gave Li Hua had rebounded.

One serving should be enough to keep his skin in excellent condition for about a month.

It will disappear after that. If you don't pay attention to your diet, you will get acne, pimples, blackheads, and even pustules!
But isn't this exactly what he needs?
Skin problems and appearance anxiety are common among women in this fast-paced era, if not everyone experiences them.

If this could be promoted, what a huge market it would be.

It's like having your home right in front of a bank!

Making money is a minor matter to him; what's important is that through his business, he has built his own power base so that he won't easily buy counterfeit goods in the future.

And whatever he wants to do will become relatively easy!

However, he now faces two key issues.

First, he's not good at business, he's too old, and his parents aren't suitable either.

The issue of the agent needs to be addressed.

Secondly, this medicine needs certification, but drug certification takes too long.

These two issues are key and need to be addressed.

Li Yan originally wanted to choose someone from among his relatives who seemed capable. However, after looking around, he sadly discovered that his generation was actually the most educated in the family, counting from his grandfather.

Scratching his head, Li Yan got up, took out a series of books on carving, opened the system panel, and selected to cultivate the art of weapon crafting.

"System, add more!"

Li Yan thought to himself, "Click on 'hosting.' Since there's no one available, I might as well create a true magic weapon."

As knowledge of weapon crafting flooded his mind, Li Yan discovered that the engraving on the system was called Spirit Forging.

As the name suggests, it is forged using spiritual power as the primary tool.

There must be other forging methods.

After a brief investigation, he discovered that the ability to refine magical artifacts might actually allow him to create a magical artifact human.

However, that requires extremely high skill in weapon crafting.

Li Yan stroked his chin, toying with a newly carved puppy in his hand.

"So, dolls... never mind, I don't need them."

As footsteps approached, he swept his hand across the window, precisely knocking the sawdust out of the room and into the trash can.

Mei Mengqian and Jiang Yingzhu pushed open the door and entered, holding their phones and looking serious.

"What are you doing?"

"I won't do it!" As soon as the words left her mouth, Jiang Yingzhu realized she had misspoke and coughed.

"Let's get down to business. I'm asking you, who is this?" Jiang Yingzhu said with a serious expression. When she saw the phone turn around, she saw Xiu Liao's character card on it, which read "Sixteen".

"What happened to the characters in my book?"

"Nonsense! This is clearly me. Confess honestly, is this how it was written?" Jiang Yingzhu glared at him.

"How could that be? Ah Sixteen isn't as tall as you, and he's flat-chested."

"Airport?!" Jiang Yingzhu was stunned and spat.

"Still denying it? Short hair, sword-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, flat chest—you haven't changed anything except your height."

Mei Mengqian nodded and showed the Yu Rouzi character card.

"And me and me!"

Li Yan spread his hands.

"Okay, I admit I lack experience and have drawn on some life experiences, but isn't this all for making the character more vivid? And how does it affect you?"

"Yes!" Mei Mengqian nodded seriously, then made a gesture to Jiang Yingzhu.
"Zhuzhu, I won!"

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to decide where to go tomorrow."

Li Yan was stunned. Good grief, I've become part of your play, haven't I?

"What about me? My opinion isn't important?"
