Chapter 226: Chapter 226 The hunt for revenge

The rainbow butterfly was a rare creature that evolved from the rainbow bug. Live ones were worth about 100 Moe Coins, and the specimens were worth about 50 Moe Coins, which could be used to make items.

In total, they caught seven rainbow butterflies at the first try, and the whole process of rainbow planting required two days of meditation, three days of planting, one day of silk throwing and one day of weaving, and when the entire process finished, a week was also over. In other words, it would take seven days to produce one chapter, and about 700 Moe Coins could be earned on the side, which was not bad.

Hank, the stray cat, was the only merchant in Luhua village. It often walked around the village, selling its merchandise. Since Zhou Yu had enough Moe Coins, he would occasionally visit its shop, and if there were anything that he was interested in, he would also buy it as well.

But today, this smart businessman was here to buy the rainbow butterflies.

“Dear guardian, although I know you do not want to sell the rainbow butterfly, as a businessman in Luhua village, I still want to give you my advice. Our Luhua village commercial level is too low, except for some adventurers, almost no one buys stuff. I know that you intend to set up your own business and upgrade Luhua village to Luhua city, but if the commercial level is too low, even if you find the code of law, you are still unable to upgrade the village.”

Today was probably the only day that the stray cat Hank talked to Zhou Yu the longest. In the past, Zhou Yu didn’t care about the mini Luhua village’s business. Apart from the pub, there were almost no other places that the villagers could spend their money. Even the mini amusement park did not sell tickets, resulting in Luhua’s business transactions far less than the amount needed to upgrade the village.

In the mini amusement park, except for some wandering street performers, there wasn’t even a regular street vendor. It looked very sad. It was not a nature reserve but looked more like a natural reserve. Probably no one would be able to find such a clean business district elsewhere.

Since Hank was already a merchant in Luhua village, naturally, it would not want this kind of thing to happen, but the guardian Zhou Yu was not interested in developing the business, so it could only try its best to maintain the existing business activities. However, since the guardian had the intention to become a Lord, then the business development naturally became a necessary part.

Zhou Yu did not know that the upgrade of Luhua village had this kind of compulsory requirement. Originally, he thought that finding the code of law was more than enough, but now it seemed like there were also other requirements, so he asked hurriedly, “so according to your idea, how should Luhua village improve its commercial level?”

“The rainbow butterfly is a rare animal and selling it can get high commercial points. Normally, every harvest of the colorful cloud silk can get 5~10 rainbow butterflies. If you are willing to give me half of it every time and let me sell it to other regions, then the commercial level of Luhua village will probably be able to be upgraded soon.”

Then, Hank explained to Zhou Yu the advantages of upgrading the commercial level, that was, some wandering merchants would be willing to stay in Luhua village to set up their shops. In this way, he could get a certain amount of business tax. It would be much better than the current state of Luhua village, which had zero tax.

More shops mean the tourists of the mini amusement park would be more satisfied, and then it would naturally attract more tourists, and then the commercial level would be increased again. The higher the commercial level the more merchants would join Luhua village, and then there would be more shops. With this kind of virtuous cycle, mini Luhua village would thrive very soon.

Taking out half of the rainbow butterflies was actually nothing to Zhou Yu, after all, currently, Luhua village did not have an item craftsman. If he took out half and saved half, not only could it improve the commercial level of Luhua village, but he could also earn Moe Coins, it was a good thing. Besides, in order to build a city, he had to level up the commercial levels.

So, Zhou Yu agreed to Hank’s proposal and entrusted it to sell three rainbow butterflies.

“Dear guardian, please wait for my good news, I’ll definitely sell them at a good price.”

And just as Hank, the stray cat, was about to start running around the streets selling its merchandise with a huge backpack, the king of thieves came running.

“Wait, Hank. I’ll go with you.”

The King of thieves was entrusted by Zhou Yu to investigate the situations of the forces nearby, and being a wandering merchant was the best way to hide his identity, so he took this opportunity to start his espionage. Recently, there was nothing happening in the amusement park, and Zhou Yu also didn’t need the protection from the King of thieves, so Zhou Yu nodded and agreed to the King of thieves’ request.

………

Two days later, Zhou Yu finally saw the latest comic book of Ying Xiu comic studio, “The hunt for revenge”.

A long piece of cloth was laid out neatly. If Zhou Yu hadn’t known it in advance, he would have thought that he had just entered a cloth store. However, this was the final look of the comic. Fortunately, the studio was still able to produce the paper copy and the digital copy of the comic. Otherwise, Zhou Yu really wouldn’t know what to do.

The setting of the story was still modern. Judging from the world background displayed in the first 50 pages, the main storyline was probably about the various prehistoric giant beasts in the Chinese mythologies that escaped from their seal and lurked in the human world doing evil things. The main character, Song Ci, who bore the blood of a Daoist family, came out from a secluded mountain to retrieve these beasts one by one.

It was indeed still a Shonen manga, it was just that it had a very rich legend flavor and coupled with the style, which was as strange and fanciful as the Classic Of Mountains And Seas, it showed a wonderful and unknown world.

The emotional tone of the story was similar to that of “assassin”, which was all about the aloofness and coldness of the protagonist, lacking some gags. However, it was still slightly different. The darkness and coldness of Impermanence in the assassin was caused by the feud he bore. In fact, deep inside, he still had a warm heart. However, Song Ci of “The hunt for revenge” was indifferent. Seemingly smiling all the time, but actually, he was very ruthless.

Even though he was smiling, his smile still gave people a chilly feeling.

This was the comment of a passer-by in the comic.

Of course, this was only the first chapter, Zhou Yu still could not tell the protagonist’s character completely. In the later chapters, the story would reveal the more detailed inner world of the protagonist. But from an old comic fan’s point of view, Zhou Yu could tell that this comic was very good. The combat scene of the comic was extraordinary. The sense of attack and the sense of pleasure was displayed perfectly in the comic.

However, there was a problem. Because the colorful cloud brocade was weaved by using the colorful cloud silk, so Zhou Yu always thought that it would be a colored comic. However, when the first chapter of “The hunt for revenge” was produced, it was still in the black and white style, where did those colors go?

This was soon explained by the fast-handed Wang, “the colors of the colorful cloud silk are, in fact, not just colors that simple, they represent people’s emotions, love, hate, joys, and sorrows, etc… Don’t you see that the comic, that was made of it, is full of emotion and very moving?”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yu thought for a second. Indeed, with just one chapter, he was already impressed by some of the characters in the story. Originally, he thought that the fast-handed Wang’s drawing skill had improved again, but he did not expect that it was because of the colorful cloud silk.

“Then, what do we do with these colorful cloud cloths?”

Since he had already gotten the paper copy and the digital copy, he really did not know what to do with those cloths.

“The colorful cloud cloth is not top-quality cloth, but it is still ok. If you sell it in Star Light city, you should be able to make some money. Didn’t you ask Hank to upgrade the commercial level of Luhua village? You can ask him to sell these colorful cloud cloths as well”

Oh yeah, I almost forget about that one.
