Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 65: The Sudden Business Opportunity

Translator: 549690339

Wuyue Residence, Jiang Cheng’s new house, living room.

Jiang Cheng sat upright at the table, several open issues of “Dialogue with College Students” magazine scattered in front of him.

He now entered a state of total absorption, feverishly reading the magazines, searching for content about Lotus Cloud University’s freshman assessment.

Upon finding relevant information, Jiang Cheng would temporarily mark it in the magazines, and once he had accumulated a certain number of marks, he would transfer the knowledge to his notebook through excerpts.

Jiang Cheng hoped through this process to systematically summarize and collate the practical assessments for new students at Lotus Cloud University.

And through scientific reasoning, comprehensive analysis, and bold assumptions, he sought to uncover the design philosophy and solutions for the practical assessments from the snippets within the magazines.

Only by understanding the core of Lotus Cloud University’s practical assessments could he achieve a move that could break a hundred techniques, a strike that pierced through the forest of flowers!

Possessing fundamental thinking had always been Jiang Cheng’s traditional advantage.

While Jiang Cheng was engrossed in his studies, a cup of cold water was quietly placed beside his hand.

Jiang Cheng suddenly looked up and saw Liu Qing and the cup of water she extended to him.

The moment his intense focus was interrupted, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt thirsty.

He looked at Liu Qing and said, “Thank you.”

Liu Qing shook her head and said, “Work.”

Ever since the Muscle Relaxation Talisman had been canceled by the Sword Cultivation Academy in exchange for money, Liu Qing had essentially entered a state of “no work.”

Although Jiang Cheng promised to continue paying her salary and provide room and board, with benefits just as before.

But to Liu Qing, this was akin to receiving unearned support from Jiang Cheng with no difference.

She was a great monster from Mount Tian who came to human society to experience human life, not to be Jiang Cheng’s pet.

Under Liu Qing’s insistence, Jiang Cheng racked his brains to “create” a new job for her.

The role of a house steward.

Mainly managing “Master” Jiang Cheng and all the assets under the “Master’s” name.

Currently, there was only the Wuyue Residence.

The job included all the tasks a steward should do, such as cleaning and serving “Master” tea and water.

However, there was one task Liu Qing was exempt from.

That was cooking.

Liu Qing said she could cook.

Jiang Cheng didn’t deny that Liu Qing could cook, but he still insisted on depriving her of the right to cook.

The main reason was that Jiang Cheng didn’t dare to eat anything Liu Qing made.

As is commonly known, the dietary habits of snakes and those of normal humans have a myriad of terrifying differences.

Liu Qing performed her role as a steward excellently.

She always managed to hand Jiang Cheng water just when he felt thirsty.

Jiang Cheng even felt that Liu Qing knew better than he did about whether he was thirsty.

After drinking the water Liu Qing handed him, Jiang Cheng was ready to dive back into his intense study session when his communication talisman rang once more.

“Hello? He?”

“There’s Jiang Cheng, are you free to come to the Task Hall?”

Jiang Cheng was startled and asked, “He, do you need me for something?”

He seemed a bit embarrassed as she said, “I’m alright…”

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; he thought there was a major issue with his Animal Encouragement Talisman again.

But that seemed impossible.

He had imposed many restrictions on the Animal Encouragement Talisman before actually selling it—physically, in design, through contracts, instruction manuals—at every place he could think of.

As long as one of these restrictions worked, the Animal Encouragement Talisman would operate at the conservative power level Jiang Cheng had set.

So, how could there possibly be a problem?

Then He continued, “Actually, it’s Elder Sun from our Task Hall who needs to speak to you.”

Jiang Cheng: ?

Elder Sun Decai? What does he want with me?

“Work?” Liu Qing’s voice sounded somewhat pleased.

“Still uncertain, shall we go and check it out?”

“Mhm.”

Task Hall small meeting room.

In front of Elder Sun Decai, five identical task plaques lay on the table.

[Looking for a “Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman” Talisman!]

The asking prices vary, ranging from one thousand to five thousand Spirit Stones.

Although the name “Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman” was a bit of a mouthful, to Sun Decai’s ears, it was very, so very, extremely—ear-piercingly loud!

The very example he had used to praise He’s performance was this very task involving animal encouragement talismans!

Sun Decai feared many things, but what he feared most was that this talisman would be a replica of the Muscle Relaxation Talisman that went out of control before.

And exactly what he worried about came to pass.

The task related to this talisman really started to emerge!

Within a single day, the number had suddenly increased by five.

As for how many there would be in a week, Sun Decai dared not even imagine!

Thud, thud, thud.

Someone knocked on the meeting room door.

Sun Decai said, “Come in.”

The first person to enter was He, followed by Jiang Cheng, whom Sun Decai didn’t even wish to see, and finally a female cultivator who was especially beautiful.

Her looks, temperament, and figure were all beyond reproach.

Suddenly, Sun Decai remembered that the last time Jiang Cheng had brought a female cultivator, it didn’t seem to be her, right?

Alright, alright, changing partners every day, huh? The young really do know how to play!

It’s just not clear whether the two of them know each other or not.

After seeing Liu Qing, Sun Decai suddenly had an intuition. He felt that Jiang Cheng would definitely suffer a major loss when it came to women in the future.

The reasons are quite simple.

Jiang Cheng was someone who liked to reason and was of good character, kind-hearted, easily trusting others.

But as everyone knows, women are the most irrational of creatures.

Once they enter into the state of love, they can do anything.

After Jiang Cheng was seated, Sun Decai pushed the five identical talisman requests in front of him.

“Jiang Cheng, since we are acquaintances, I won’t bother with too many pleasantries this time. Take a look at these first.”

Jiang Cheng took a glance.

Hey, what a coincidence, he just happened to know how to draw the talismans from the tasks.

“Does Elder Sun want me to take on these tasks?” Jiang Cheng asked.

“No, no, no!” Sun Decai hurriedly stopped Jiang Cheng’s extremely dangerous thoughts.

He quickly said, “You explain to me first, what exactly is this ‘Reusable Fluorescent Version of Animal Encouragement Talisman’ all about?”

Being the maker, explaining the principle, function, and usage of the talisman was not at all difficult for Jiang Cheng.

He went into great detail, breaking it down and explaining the operational principles and targets of the animal encouragement talisman to Sun Decai.

Sun Decai was dumbfounded after hearing the explanation.

Last time it was muscle relaxation, this time it’s encouraging animals, can’t you draw talismans that regular people can create, young man?

“Elder Sun, is there something wrong with my talisman?” asked Jiang Cheng amiably.

“It’s not about whether it’s appropriate or not. It’s just that it’s really that sort of… that very rare kind… you know what I mean?” Sun Decai said, somewhat flustered.

Jiang Cheng answered honestly, “I don’t understand.”

Sun Decai said with a headache, “Your talisman… if something goes wrong with it again… you see… right?”

Jiang Cheng nodded, indicating his understanding.

Then he said calmly, “Well then, Elder Sun, taking the asking price of the tasks as a standard, I will set aside half of the price for each task I complete, to establish a Wuyue Fish Welfare Fund with the Task Hall. The Task Hall will lead the operation, specifically to guard against potential risks. What do you think?”

Half!? Sun Decai himself was also a fisherman, and he was all too aware of the prospects of disruptive fishing gear in the Wuyue fishing community!

With these five tasks, averaging over two thousand asking price, the Task Hall would get half, which means at least a thousand Spirit Stones’ profit for each task!

If Jiang Cheng completes a hundred tasks, then the Task Hall would have a profit of one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!

And what if Jiang Cheng completes a thousand tasks?

There are at least a few thousand fishermen in Wuyue!

And in the entire Liang Kingdom, how many fishermen are there?

And how many countries are there around Liang Kingdom?

Terrifying!

That’s too terrifying!
