Chapter 132: 132, [I, Purple Palace, make money!]

Inside the cave, Lu Xun looked at the neatly arranged fifty paper cranes inside his storage ring, a contented smile appearing on his face.

This was the fruit of his recent hard work.

“Indeed, hard work leads to wealth, there’s no doubt about it!” Lu Xun thought to himself.

As for how he got these materials, it was just a small anecdote on the road to becoming rich.

“I guess it’s enough for now, I won’t refine artifacts for a while,” Lu Xun decided.

It wasn’t that he thought his third senior brother couldn’t shoulder the cost anymore, his third senior brother seemed to be a lot more lavish than he imagined, seeming to not mind providing a large pile of spirit stones for his little junior brother’s random experiments.

The main reason was that he truly couldn’t eat anymore! Seeing Lu Xun’s increasing appetite, the third senior brother was preparing larger portions of meals recently!

And possibly because of the excellent feedback from his dinner guest, he was enthusiastic about cooking lately, creating a myriad of innovative dishes. Lu Xun felt like his tongue was damaged, it wasn’t as agile as before…

This was horrifying! How can a person function without an agile tongue!

Enough! I can’t continue eating like this!

“Let’s take a break for now. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to mine this vein later. There’s no rush, I shouldn’t torture myself by eating like this,” Lu Xun thought.

Lu Xun glanced at the paper cranes again, pondered for a while, and had a new idea.

“When I sell these in the future, I can sign my name on them,” Lu Xun stroked his chin, thinking that this was a great idea.

For an artifact refiner to engrave their signature on their creations, it made perfect sense!

With the popularity of Purple Palace among the players, it was much higher than those star level professional players.

In his previous life, their signatures could fetch a high price, so there was no reason why his limited edition signature paper cranes wouldn’t appreciate in value, right?

Lu Xun even felt that he was already on the path of becoming a “virtual idol”.

In the eyes of the players, isn’t he, this NPC, almost equivalent to a virtual idol?

“Purple Palace signature edition, anyone would be tempted!” Lu Xun thought, “How much should I increase the price by then?”

He suddenly felt that he was quite business-minded, which was a waste considering, how he used to play as a Lone Ranger in “Heavenly Dust”.

However, players didn’t currently know the real identity of the Purple Palace, he could just reveal it when the public test starts, that shouldn’t be an issue.

Although he couldn’t post on the forum, his Sword-serving Child, MO Guanji, could act as his mouthpiece.

“Speaking of which, what has this guy been up to lately? How hasn’t he posted anything on the forum?” Lu Xun had been silently keeping tabs on his Sword – Serving Child.

It was a pity that he seemed to have evaporated from the world, showered with so much attention on the forum, yet he chose to go missing.

Everyone was still waiting for him to release more videos or photos related to the Purple Palace!

“Could it be that he died suddenly again?” Lu Xun thought.

After closing the [Backpack], Lu Xun was about to pick up the sword sheath to leave the cave when he heard a “plop” sound.

A pearl rolled out from the hole in the sword sheath.

“Isn’t this the Yin bead I shoved in last time?” Lu Xun looked at the dull pearl that had fallen on the ground.

“Why did it shrink?” He inspected it carefully.

“Hiss–! This bead appears to be ruined, the stuff inside has been sucked dry by the sword sheath. The dense Yin Qi previously had condensed into a liquid form, but now there’s not a single drop left.”

He gently knocked on the sword sheath with his finger, and said, “Good job, you really did a number on it in just a few days!”

The black cord on the sword sheath fluttered a few times, as if in protest, as if saying, “It’s obviously because it ran out too soon, just a few sucks and it was drained dry.”
