At this moment next door, while Su Han's friends were reading the manga, the immortals naturally could not be negligent either.
Cloud Retainer, Yaoyao, Shenhe, Granny Ping, and Xiangling were all gathered here.
Looking at the story of Hiriluk in the manga, Cloud Retainer sighed and said, "Liyue also has someone like this. With such people, how could immortals and humans fail to live in harmony?"
"But I feel Su Han is even better than Doctor Hiriluk."
Hearing this, Xiangling immediately retorted. Although she was deeply moved by Hiriluk's story, she could not forget Su Han's contributions. He had truly been running around for the prosperity of Liyue.
Cloud Retainer was not angry at all upon hearing this. Instead, she smiled and said, "Of course. This story itself came from Su Han's hand, so how could this immortal forget that? That child, sometimes, is even more foolish than Hiriluk. Clearly it is Mondstadt's own affair, yet he still desperately protects the people. He is simply too kind."
"Yes, and it is precisely because of this that you and I value him so highly."
"That is right. Now I am starting to look forward to the later story. This manga truly fills one with anticipation."
Cloud Retainer usually enjoyed research and naturally had little time to go out and travel. Now, however, the Adventure King manga had given her many worlds she had only imagined, which could be considered a way of satisfying her desire to go out.
If there had not been guests next door, she would have already wanted to go urge an update. After all, Shenhe was already inseparable from him, so as a master, giving a small nudge for an update should not be a problem.
Hearing the two immortals discussing Su Han, Yaoyao followed along with a smile and said, "I also think Big Brother is amazing. I originally planned to take Qiqi to see him today, but when I thought about how Qiqi is afraid of Sister Hu Tao, I decided to change the time."
Xiangling, hearing this, hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, definitely do not bring Qiqi in front of Hu Tao! Otherwise, there will definitely be chaos."
Hu Tao's strength had increased greatly recently. She was truly afraid that if Qiqi came to visit, she would immediately be carried off by Hu Tao to the outskirts of town. If that happened, Qiqi would surely have nightmares.
...
At the Jade Chamber.
Ningguang had already put down her official duties and was savoring the new story Su Han had sent. Only after reading the last page did this wealthy woman finally reveal a smile.
"Another outstanding work that makes one eagerly anticipate what comes next. I fear that this time I will not even need to act as a purchasing agent. Those adventurers will flock to the door on their own."
"Hm? My lady, why is that?"
"Do you still not understand? Baiwen, you have followed me for many years now. You should be more perceptive by this point. This manga of Su Han's, when examined closely, is practically a natural promotional advertisement prepared for the Adventurers' Guild. Those so-called adventure teams and adventure banners are all tributes to the Adventurers' Guild."
"So that is how it is!"
The young secretary suddenly realized it. After Ningguang's guidance, she finally discovered that there were so many hidden layers in this manga. Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The so-called great secret treasure was exactly what adventurers pursued.
Whether it was Hiriluk or the legendary giant, they were all the kind of romance that adventurers chased. Especially that line, "When does a person truly die?" Was that not telling people never to lose the heart that presses forward into adventure?
Ningguang smiled faintly, put down the manga, and instructed, "Inform the people in the factories that preparations can begin for the peripheral merchandise of the new manga. We cannot waste such an opportunity to make money."
"Yes, my lady! I will arrange it immediately."
On the streets of Liyue, everyone was now discussing the Adventure King manga. Whether it was the appearance of Hawkeye or the stories of the various characters, all of it had become hot topics of discussion. Among them, the character most talked about was none other than Hiriluk.
"No wonder Boss Su said this is a man's romance. He was not joking at all. If a man has no dreams, how is he any different from a salted fish?"
"Exactly! A man remains a youth until death!"
"I really want to become a top-tier swordsman like Zoro!"
"Hehe, brothers, talking alone is not enough! I am preparing to participate in the Millelith recruitment training. I heard that they provide all kinds of martial arts and inner cultivation methods. As long as I can become stronger, I am willing to do anything."
"Damn, that is true. Since you can become stronger, why not join the Millelith?"
Hearing someone talk about becoming stronger through the Millelith, the others were immediately drawn in as well.
Another group of people decided to become members of the Adventurers' Guild. They wanted to learn from Zoro and become powerful adventurers through all kinds of arduous trials.
Some people even planned to form their own adventure teams.
At this moment, the liveliest place in Liyue was naturally the Adventurers' Guild. The number of people coming to register today was more than a hundred times the usual amount.
Sister Lan, the branch guildmaster of the Adventurers' Guild, looked at this scene and said in shock, "Why are there so many people here to register today?"
"Boss, you only got back this morning, so you did not know. Boss Su released a new manga. Its name is Adventure King! The story inside is about the adventurer Luffy forming an adventure team and traveling everywhere to seek adventure."
"My heavens, bring it over for me to take a look."
As the branch guildmaster, Sister Lan understood that this was an opportunity, but before taking action, she wanted to understand the situation clearly. Very soon, two volumes of the manga were delivered in front of her.
After reading them, Sister Lan finally understood why everyone had come to register as adventurers. This manga was simply too exciting. The content of the first volume alone made one's blood boil, and the appearance of the second volume directly pushed the story to its peak.
Of course, the greatest beneficiary was none other than their Adventurers' Guild.
After pondering for a moment, Sister Lan said to her subordinates, "Quickly prepare some gifts and follow me to pay a visit to Mr. Su."
"Sister Lan, you are planning to?"
"They gave us free advertising. Should we not thank them? Moreover, this is an opportunity. If we can seize it, not only will the status of adventurers become even more popular, it will also expand tremendously!"
"So that is how it is. Then we cannot be careless. We must prepare generous gifts."
"Hmph, you only realized it now? Let us go. This time, we must let Mr. Su see our sincerity. Also, we need Mr. Su's guidance."
Sister Lan's words left everyone confused. They understood expressing thanks. After all, without Boss Su's manga, there would not be today's boom at the Adventurers' Guild. But what guidance could he offer? He was just a manga shop owner.
Seeing the puzzled looks on her subordinates' faces, Sister Lan was so angry that she laughed. She snorted coldly and said, "You do not understand what I mean?"
"Somewhat."
"Your intelligence is far too outdated. According to the latest information from Mondstadt, the person who defeated the Stormterror Dvalin and resolved the dragon crisis is very likely this very manga shop owner. Tell me, can he guide us or not?"
"What? Boss, you are talking about the dragon crisis? My heavens, this gentleman is far too incredible."
Looking at the extremely shocked expressions of her subordinates, Sister Lan continued, "That is why collecting intelligence is sometimes the most important thing. Stop muddling along day by day. Besides, who do you think came up with the idea for the new city at Guili Plains? Quite a few people saw that boss go there together with Lady Ningguang."
One explosive revelation after another struck like thunder.
These managers of the Adventurers' Guild had originally thought Boss Su was merely a formidable businessman. They had never imagined that he was so terrifying. If this was true, then the depth of this boss ran far too deep.
"In that case, our gifts will have to be even more grand."
Hearing everyone agree with her thoughts, Sister Lan finally smiled again. She nodded and said, "You can be taught. Go and prepare properly. His status is not something that ordinary gifts can move."
"Rest assured, Boss. We have quite a few treasured items in storage. We definitely will not disappoint Mr. Su."
