Their commission was suspicious.

"Phew..." Chen Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing?" Chen Luo glared at Shen Zi with annoyance.

"A day apart feels like three autumns... My benefactor, I miss you so much," Yae no Miko said pitifully.

Tingyun, who was slowly walking towards them, gripped her fan again. "The Eightfold Divine Child spoke the very lines I had prepared!"

Although appropriate adaptations were made...

"...Last night you were drunk and tried to use the little girl's cursed doll to turn Lei Yingdian into a little girl on the spot, and I was the one who stopped you! How come you've been gone for just one day?"

"Hahaha..." Yae no Miko chuckled twice before turning to look at Tingyun.

“Sister Tingyun is also missing her benefactor very much.” Yae no Miko naturally changed the subject.

Whether Yae no Miko actually got drunk yesterday is hard to say... because Yae no Miko took the little girl's cursed doll from Chen Luo originally intended for use in the Lei movie.

It's a pity I never got to use it.

"My benefactor, this humble woman has come to..."

“Speak like a human,” Yae no Miko said from the side.

"...I'm here to pick up the fan. I also want to discuss some cooperation matters related to interstellar transportation and Paradise Express." Tingyun glared at Yae no Shinji before speaking.

"A fan... here." Hearing Tingyun mention this, Chen Luo took something out of his backpack and handed it to Tingyun.

This is Tingyun's fan, which was damaged in Huanlong's hands, and Chen Luo promised to help Tingyun repair it...

Or you could simply make a new one using the World Tree and its leaves.

"Wangcai, I have something to tell you..."

"Don't call me Wangcai!" Tingyun said, embarrassed and angry.

"If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why be so fierce?"

"I think you don't understand anything at all, my benefactor! Don't you know that you should try to respect a girl's feelings when she doesn't want to reveal her dark past?" Tingyun pointed at Chen Luo.

"See, see, I'm not pretending anymore. My benefactor, let me tell you, Tingyun bullied me quite a bit by taking advantage of her position when I went to the Immortal Ship to help her with her business." The Eightfold Divine Child whispered bad things about Tingyun in Chen Luo's ear.

"You vixen, all you do is exaggerate! It was you who kept sighing and complaining about your 'hard-working life' and asking me to give you more money!" Tingyun retorted.

"Huh, really?" Yae no Miko looked at Tingyun with some confusion.

“My benefactor, look at her…” Tingyun pointed at Yae no Kamiko with a wronged expression.

"Heh, vixen." Yae no Miko leaned on Chen Luo's shoulder, her attitude quite casual.

"It's fine to fool your sisters, but don't fool yourself too," the goddess warned.

They're all centuries-old foxes, what are they doing playing at Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?

Teasing Chen Luo is one thing, but does Chen Luo really believe these casual remarks?

"Just tell me if you want extra money!"

"I'm not worried that you won't be able to spend all your money, so I'm helping you spend some, Chen Luo. Let me tell you, after you gave the credit and performance for negotiating the Paradise Gold Coin cooperation to Ting Yun, her business group made a lot of money!"

"That's for maintaining the merchant guild's operations, you stupid fox!"

"Moreover, when General Jing Yuan of the Immortal Ship was discussing how to obtain rewards, Ting Yun did not choose the more profitable profit-sharing model, but instead opted for the buyout model. He only earned one million Paradise Gold Coins, and then there was no further income. What a pity..." the Divine Child continued.

"What can this young woman do..."

"Tingyun, act normally," the divine child reminded him again.

"You vixen, that's enough!"

"It's normal now. Continue..." The divine child gestured for them to proceed.

Tingyun stared at the Eightfold Divine Child for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

“…What can I do? After all, it’s a freebie. The real people who discussed this cooperation were General Jingyuan and Chen Luo. If I take long-term benefits and make a lot of money this time, I might not get a chance to do any big business with the General’s Mansion in the future,” Tingyun explained.

Tingyun also wanted to make a lot of money, and he knew that the business sharing model of Paradise Coins was definitely more profitable than buying them out... but you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

Trading a small, tentative step for future cooperation opportunities is risky; it's hard to say whether you'll make a profit, but you certainly won't lose much.

“My benefactor, you should understand me, right?” Tingyun looked at Chen Luo.

“Wangcai did the right thing…” Chen Luo nodded.

Tingyun is too lazy to say anymore, please stop calling yourself Wangcai.

"Not only that, but Tingyun also secretly sold autographed photos of General Shence taken using a group network while he was talking closely with Jingyuan," Shenzi whispered again.

"You stinking fox, that's enough! Didn't I tell you I'd give you 30%?!" Tingyun couldn't take it anymore and slammed her hand on the table.

"But you didn't share any of the profits from selling Chen Luo's photos with me!" Yae no Miko said matter-of-factly.

"Wait, what photo?" Chen Luo asked quickly.

"It's... Chen Luo, the photo of you displaying your divine power and defeating the Star God with a single sword strike," said Yae no Miko.

"Oh... wait, Wangcai, when did you get these kinds of photos? Didn't you not have group online platforms back then? How did you take them?" Chen Luo was stunned again.

"..." Tingyun's eyes darted around nervously.

"Snap!" The whip floating next to Chen Luo cracked, its sound echoing throughout the bar.

“Um… okay, I admit it, it was photoshopped… After spending one Paradise Gold Coin on the group network to buy some photos of my benefactor from a Paradise Adventurer, I spent another ten Paradise Gold Coins to have him photoshop them,” Tingyun said softly.

"...How did you convince them?" Chen Luo asked in great surprise.

Chen Luo simply didn't believe that his Paradise Adventurer would sell himself for 11 Paradise Gold Coins.

Shouldn't we add at least a few more zeros?

"Because I told them this was material for the Immortal Boat Daily, which could publicize your great achievements and gain more recognition so that the commission could be triggered at any time."

Tingyun wasn't lying; this was also part of the strategy to promote Chen Luo's reputation.

"This is the draft I prepared for the Immortal Boat Daily. If you have no objections, my benefactor, it can be published." Tingyun quickly took out a document from his treasure pouch.

Tingyun did indeed want to increase Chen Luo's fame.

This also serves as a publicity stunt for the amusement park.

A good reputation is something you can never have too much of.

Although Chen Luo's reputation has spread among the upper echelons of Interstellar, at least half of Paradise Express's business comes from ordinary people.

Interstellar Peace Company... especially the game department, did indeed promote Chen Luo, but on the Immortal Ship, the Immortal Ship Daily still had a wider influence.

"You guys handle it, I don't care," Chen Luo waved his hand.

If a user-friendly plugin doesn't provide a notification, it means it's not important.

At least in matters within this world, we can still trust the human element.

"Then the negotiations regarding the transfer of the Immortal Ship interstellar transportation business..."

"You can handle it as you see fit. Just find a way for Xianzhou and Paradise to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation. I'm entrusting this matter entirely to you. Good luck." Chen Luo patted Tingyun on the shoulder.

"I've never seen anyone like you, my benefactor, who just washes your hands of the business."

“Hey, there weren’t many people in the park before, so I had to do everything myself. Now the park has over 20 billion adventurers, and I still have to do everything myself? What’s the point of having these adventurers?” Chen Luo said.

"Just like that adventurer from the amusement park who sold you the photos and even thoughtfully photoshopped them for you, he definitely knows what you're planning to do... Oh, right, remember to give him 10% of the money from selling the photos," Chen Luo reminded him.

“Understood. By the way, benefactor, could you take a photo with me that looks like a business negotiation? I'd like to submit it as part of a report, along with the interstellar transportation regulations that will be developed later,” Tingyun said.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

“Okay.” Chen Luo glanced at Ting Yun suspiciously.

It's normal to need photos, as it indicates that a collaboration is underway.

But it's quite unusual to place a 300-stone request just for a photo.

"Sister Shenzi, could you please move aside?" Tingyun asked gently.

"..." Shenzi looked at Tingyun suspiciously, then moved to the side.

After Tingyun took the position of the Divine Child, she moved closer to Chen Luo.

"Closer," Tingyun said.

"Still close?"

“This is part of the plan. My benefactor, you don’t know what the plan is, so you don’t understand. Just do as I say,” Tingyun said.

"..." Chen Luo tilted his head and then moved closer.

"Closer."

"what?"

"Tingyun, don't go too far," Yae no Miko warned.

"This is part of the plan," Tingyun emphasized.

"What plan?"

"Hmm... a honey trap."

"Ok?"

Before Chen Luo could react, Ting Yun, who was already very close, pulled Chen Luo's arm, wrapped it around her neck, and snuggled into Chen Luo's arms. Then, she took out her camera, smiled, and took a selfie.

In the photo, Tingyun is smiling broadly, like a fox that has achieved its goal, while Chen Luo stares intently at Tingyun, seemingly captivated by her...

"What kind of honey trap is this?! You vixen!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

"I'm not praising you!"

"Your benefactor tastes wonderful." Tingyun seemed to be savoring the memory, a satisfied expression on her face.

“I@％*＃×”

Yae no Miko's ramblings were eventually censored.

It's clear that Yae no Miko is quite vulnerable. Hmm.

[That's strange, shouldn't the fox's cry be "Great Chu will rise, Chen Sheng will be king?"]

As it turns out, retreating to advance is also a strategy.

If you want to assert sovereignty, then I'll give you sovereignty and then you can become the blond guy!

It's like everyone's saying "XX is my wife," and you just say, "Your wife is amazing..."

The other person would love to twist your head off!

"You're in a hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry!"

"Alright, alright, you two listen to me... Tingyun, are you interested in some elements?" Chen Luo picked up the Element Whip.

"Oh? What are the elements...? Can they make money?"

“Yes… I have some [Wealth] elements that can make you a lot of money.” Chen Luo nodded after considering it for a moment.

Not every wealthy person can acquire the elements of wealth. You have to be rich to the highest level in the world, so rich that you are synonymous with wealth yourself, so rich that it's unimaginable for anyone to be poor.

After acquiring a large amount of wealth, your fortune will naturally rise for a period of time.

It's equivalent to adding a golden rule of varying degrees.

"Want some to try?"

"Sure, but there's no such thing as a free lunch... The little fox has already secretly marked the price of every meal. So if you want wealth elements, you'll have to exchange them for an equal amount of other elements..."

A sense of foreboding suddenly arose in Tingyun's heart.

……

"Ding Ding Ding!"

"jingle!"

Strange knocking sounds came from outside the bar, and just moments later, Xing burst through the door.

"My benefactor, please be gentle..."
