Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

"Phew, this medicine is amazing."

Shopkeeper Lin said with shock in his eyes.

"To be honest, our company has bought some medicines from Zhidong."

"Although Zhidong's medicine is very effective, the side effects are very strong..."

"What a pity, I have to take it. If your medicine has no side effects, then there is no need to worry about the Seven Stars' review."

"I can guarantee this with my reputation!"

"Is that so?" Roddy thought.

Medicines from Zhidong? Serious side effects, strong effects? Flowing into the Liyue market?

Are you sure it’s not the people from Zhidong who are using the people of Liyue as experimental subjects?

Roddy has no good feelings towards Winter, especially that doctor...

He is no stranger to human experiments, transformation, drug testing, etc.

But look at the reaction of Shopkeeper Lin.

It seems that the Liyue Seven Stars didn't care too much about this matter, or couldn't care? Or was there some kind of compromise?

These thoughts flashed through Rody's mind, and he shook his head to put them behind him.

Let’s think about how to gain a foothold in Liyue first before we think about other things.

Thinking about these things is too far-fetched.

To put it bluntly, if the sky of Liyue collapsed, it had Prince Rock to protect it, the immortals to hold it up, and the Seven Stars to support it, so why would they care about this foreign traveler?

...

"That's good."

Rody nodded and continued, "Another thing is - I can cooperate with you, Manager Lin, but I will not give you the exclusive operating rights."

Rody can ask Shopkeeper Lin to sell it.

But it is impossible to let him monopolize the healing medicine.

Of course, the prescription is in his hands, or to be more precise, in the hands of Doupo Luodi. I'm afraid there are no alchemists or alchemy techniques in this world.

"...Exclusive operating rights?" Manager Lin was a little confused about this. This term was too unfamiliar to him.

"It's a monopoly." Rody coughed and said, "I have the final say on who to sell to and who not to sell to."

"Of course." Shopkeeper Lin agreed immediately, "We are just helping you sell the products, please rest assured."

well.

Luo Di felt that Manager Lin was a good partner.

"As for the details, why don't you wait until I find a place to stay?"

We were about to enter the city.

Luo Di handed the medicine to Shopkeeper Lin again and said.

Shopkeeper Lin hesitated for a moment, but still took the medicine. After all, he had to take it back for testing. He couldn't have the final say in the business, so he couldn't just make empty promises.

However, in response to Luo Di's subsequent words, Manager Lin immediately said, "I don't know where you plan to live. If possible, I happen to have a villa near the General Affairs Department. It's quiet and won't be disturbed."

"Why don't you go and take a rest first? Don't worry, I won't charge you rent."

Roddy hesitated a little and glanced at Shen He beside him.

"All depends on Luo Lang." Shen He said expressionlessly without waiting for Luo Di to speak.

"Sorry to bother you, Shopkeeper Lin." Roddy turned his head and looked at Shopkeeper Lin with a smile.

"Don't disturb me, don't disturb me." Shopkeeper Lin was overjoyed. He now regarded Rody as the God of Wealth. It would be a great joy to welcome the God of Wealth into his home.

As for Roddy.

Yes, he said that on purpose.

There’s nothing I can do…I have no money.

You can't just steal or rob.

...

When passing through the Qianyan Army for inspection.

Roddy was recognized.

After all, the Qianyan soldiers who were carrying the wounded came down first and told the Qianyan soldiers on duty that Rody had rescued people.

Naturally, Roddy also gained some favor from the Qianyan Army, so the guards did not conduct too many checks and he passed smoothly.

Shopkeeper Lin was very tactful and led the way in front. As for his men, they had already been sent back to the company.

Luo Di walked side by side with Shen He on the street.

He even disguised himself, mainly by creating a shadow so as not to scare others.

As soon as he entered the city, Rody clearly felt the prosperity of this commercial capital.

The streets and alleys are full of vendors doing business, but the streets are clean and tidy, paved with thick stone slabs, and surrounded by ancient dark red buildings. It feels like a dream back to the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that this is not much different from Roddy's impression of Liyue in the game, but there is no similarity at all.

The entire Liyue Harbor is built at the foot of a low mountain, making full use of the land.

Foreign merchants dressed in different clothes can be seen everywhere, including Fontaine, Mond, Xumi and even Roddy, who also saw a turtle-shell ship similar to the Inazuma style.

If the travelers have not arrived yet, it means that Inazuma has not yet lifted the isolation order, and I don’t know how the ship got through the thunderstorm.

Anyway, when Rody was playing games in his previous life, he tried to use Ayaka and Kaia to sneak Inazuma... That's right, he used Ayaka to sneak Inazuma...

As a result, he was struck to death.

By the way, Liyue is divided into four areas.

The port area, the administrative district where Qixing handles affairs and has developed commerce, and after passing an ancient bridge, there is a more down-to-earth atmosphere, with a wide variety of snack stalls and residential areas with independent courtyards everywhere.

Finally, there is a sacrificial area built on the low hill to enshrine and worship the Rock King.

Shopkeeper Lin’s courtyard is right at the junction of the administrative district and the residential area.

"We are protected by the Geo Emperor in Liyue, but he is not always here. On weekdays, the Seven Stars will discuss matters, and the General Affairs Department will manage Liyue."

Shopkeeper Lin acted as a tour guide and explained the formation and development of Liyue.

Seeing that there were a lot of people, Luo Di subconsciously held Shen He's hand.

This intimate action made Shen He's body tremble, but she had no intention of breaking free. She silently looked at Rody in front of her, and a little joy appeared on her cold face.

It’s a pity that there is no money, Roddy sighed several times.

There is still a big difference between Liyue and ancient Dongda, specifically, it lacks many traditions of a feudal country and is much more open.

It was like the ancient commercial cities that Roddy had visited before, but with a little more life and authenticity.

Roddy was very satisfied and liked the city very much.

"Oh, right." Shopkeeper Lin recalled something and said, "The Seven Stars of Liyue are also held by seven large business families, but they will not hold the posts forever. Instead, they will rotate in turn."

"Sir, the fact that you have this miraculous healing medicine should soon be known to the Seven Stars. By then, the Seven Stars might even come to visit you and seek cooperation with you."

As Manager Lin spoke, there was a hint of envy in his tone. Otherwise, he would not have immediately invited Rody to live in his villa.

Rody shook his head secretly, great, businessmen rule the country.

To be honest, since ancient times, no country ruled by merchants seems to have a good ending. There is an old saying in both the East and the West that merchants are greedy and cannot be trusted.

But this is Liyue, and the merchants are under the watchful eyes of gods. Even if the Emperor retires, there are still immortals watching over them, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

soon...

"We're here." Shopkeeper Lin led the two to a quiet courtyard far away from the noisy streets.

"Please, sir, I hope you don't mind my humble room."

Date with girlfriend at the end of the month~

We originally planned to go out on New Year's Eve, but she has to go to work tomorrow, so we have to go out today~

Don't worry, I wish you all a happy New Year's Day

Chapter 503 Shen He: Why do you need Mora to buy things?

Shopkeeper Lin still needed to go back to the company to handle some matters, so after settling Rody and the other two, he said goodbye in a hurry and left.

Judging from his back as he preciously stroked the porcelain bottle in his hand, perhaps he hurried back to verify the authenticity of the healing medicine.

Roddy agreed with him to meet again later.

Now, he and Shen He were the only ones left in the ancient courtyard.

"Xiaohe, what do you think of Liyue Harbor?"

After closing the outer door of the villa, Luo Di turned around and found Shen He looking at the courtyard, so he walked up to him and asked.

This courtyard is not very big. After all, although Manager Lin has been in business for many years, he is just the owner of an ordinary business. Buying a courtyard in addition to his residence is already considered to be quite wealthy.

What's more, Liyue Harbor is the most prosperous city in Liyue, and every inch of land is valuable.

However, the decoration layout is still artistic. The people of Liyue also take Feng Shui into consideration. There are rockeries and water in the courtyard. As the saying goes, a small but complete house. There is also a pavilion with stone tables and stone benches.

Rody walked forward and wiped the stone table with his fingers. After looking around, he found that there was no dust. He thought it must be cleaned regularly.

"There are too many people here. I can't help feeling a little nervous." Shen He followed Luo Di into the pavilion and said calmly.

She often strolled in the mountains and fields and seldom went down the mountain to where people gathered. Moreover, it was normal for her to feel palpitations and anxiety when she suddenly arrived at the prosperous port of Liyue.

"in addition..."

"Hmm?" Rody sat down at the stone table and waved his hand, and a brand new set of tea set appeared on the table.

Needless to say, he was also given a gift pack from the other Rodys.
