Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Enjoying Your Own Moment

"What are you talking about?"

Without beating around the bush, Yang Yu laid out all his thoughts,

"Don’t forget why we came here, we’re just here to find the knowledge we need.

To investigate the information we need through others would cost a significant amount, and I’m not as rich as you think. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought you guys here to stay in this place.

The best way to save costs is to pass the exam and enter the Library to investigate personally.

Didn’t you notice the direction of my conversation with that boy just now?

Or was the cake too sweet, distracting you completely from what we were just discussing?"

Bai Jin lowered her head in shame. She had to admit that the cake was indeed too delicious, making her focus solely on enjoying it and ignoring much of the conversation between Yang Yu and Shu Jing.

"All in all, our current goal is to become a member of the Library. Only as members can we freely access the knowledge we desire."

Yang Yu patted Bai Jin’s messy hair,

"We’ll not consider the Martial Arts Exam and sponsorship as methods for now. Passing the entrance exam to become a Library member is our focus. Iyas has no hope, but you, who have traveled far and wide, are the most likely to pass, so study hard.

As for Iya and I going out, it’s not elopement or a date.

We’re just raising funds. Knowing the nature of this Library, even though I didn’t ask Shu Jing how much it costs for one test, I know it wouldn’t be less than a few hundred thousand just for the chance to take the exam. Tomorrow, I’m going out to gather a million or two."

"I’m sorry, it turns out I was overthinking," Bai Jin said apologetically, lowering her head and then a sly smile appeared on her face, "Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t just abandon me like that. Don’t worry, I’ll work hard to pass the exam, and then all the data searching will be up to me! If I can’t find it, I’ll curse the Library."

Bai Jin regained her spirit, and Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Iya.

Iya sighed, remembering her experiences washing dishes in the hotel to earn money, "The way you talk makes it sound like raising a million or two is easy.

Honestly, I’ve hardly seen you make money, mostly just trading Equipment for money... you wouldn’t be thinking about trading that bow for money, would you? Didn’t you say you’d give it to me when I contributed to the team? Don’t regret it."

"A broken bow isn’t worth much."

Yang Yu immediately regretted saying that.

This could make Iya think that the pink quality bow wasn’t worth much, which wouldn’t be good for his plans to train her.

When selling equipment, Yang Yu had heard that a bow like this could become a family heirloom in any family, easily worth close to a million.

But compared to the big deal Yang Yu was planning next, it seemed like a drop in the bucket.

It was for this reason Yang Yu had spoken carelessly, and to prevent any misunderstanding, he quickly corrected himself, "No, I mean it’s not time to sell this bow yet."

"You hesitated when you said that. It seems like you meant it, what exactly are you planning?"

Iya stared intently at Yang Yu, but with her current strength, she couldn’t see through what Yang Yu was really thinking.

"I admit I have thought about it, but that’s a last resort. Before that, I have plenty of ways to make big money."

Yang Yu smiled confidently, vaguely saying,

"Simply put, a product can only make the most profit when sold to someone who really needs it. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to see for yourself!"

Iya crossed her arms, "Just don’t make me do anything messy."

"Don’t worry, I won’t make you do anything messy. Just stand by my side quietly and watch my performance. Let’s see how smart people make a fortune."

Skeptical, Iya had no choice but to agree.

After saying goodbye to the two, Yang Yu went alone to the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel and ordered a meal.

Bai Jin and Iyas had already eaten cake, so Yang Yu didn’t call them.

Although the hotel’s food was cheap, the variety was surprisingly limited, and Yang Yu just casually ordered two dishes while he waited and contemplated the swindling tactics for tomorrow.

He hadn’t dealt with many items he had drawn, among which the three pieces of women’s clothing he had pulled out not long ago were the most difficult to handle.

In the room, Yang Yu had secretly taken them out for inspection. All three items were made of no ordinary fabric, which greatly facilitated his storytelling.

Otherwise, claiming these three outfits were designed by some famous designer would surely arouse suspicion.

People would probably say, "You’re fooling kids here! How could a designer not afford fabric?" and label him as a fraudster from the Martial World.

Thus, the quality of the fabric was a fundamental prerequisite.

Next, he considered how to sell these three pieces of women’s clothing at an exorbitant price.

As the saying goes, ’seller’s show and buyer’s show’ are not the same concept at all.

To make someone think the clothes look good, not only do the clothes need to look good, but the person wearing them must also be attractive. This creates the illusion that "If I wear this, I can look like her," leading them to be deceived... ahem, wrong, to enjoy their own unique moment.

Iyas’s role tomorrow was that of an outstanding model.

Although Iyas’s figure made her look somewhat ambiguous in a sailor uniform, some people liked that untouchable yet accessible COSPLAY vibe.

Yang Yu could already imagine how many women, or men, would flock to the sight of the clothes on Iyas. All he needed was to add a little spice to instantly set the scene ablaze...

"Here. The dishes are ready, and this is a complimentary bottle of red wine. Don’t be shy."

A voice interrupted Yang Yu’s thoughts. Turning around, he saw that the speaker was the proprietress of the restaurant.

"Thank you for treating that child to cake. We haven’t taken him to a cake shop for a long time to save money for his exams... Which shop did you take him to?"

"Keli Cake Shop."

Yang Yu remembered the name clearly because it had appeared in the Sky-reaching Library.

"That’s a global chain of large cake shops. I still remember my first date with the child’s father was there. When I smelled that sweet scent on you, I knew it was from there."

With not many people in the shop, the proprietress started to chat with Yang Yu.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Chilom, the founder of Keli Cakes, also came to the Library to take the Library Exam."

"Why is he taking the Library Exam?"

Yang Yu casually followed up, as his player instincts told him that even unremarkable NPCs could provide extremely important information.

"Heard he’s hit a bottleneck in developing new dishes and hopes to rely on the power of the Library to consult some recipes. But for someone like him, even if he fails, it probably wouldn’t be much stress."

The proprietress couldn’t help sighing, feeling like they were worlds apart.

"Madam."

"What is it?"

"You said that Chilom must be very wealthy, right?"

"Not just wealthy. He’s fabulously rich; he single-handedly created the ’Cake Empire.’"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yang Yu’s lips.

"About him, please tell me more."
