Chapter 1483 Mom, you no longer have to worry about me not finding a job after graduation (2 in 1)

The puppet maiden was pretty much in a perfect state at this time, and there were only a few minor details that had to be taken care of. However, it would be necessary to find a professional puppet master to take care of that. Aside from that, she could repair herself, and the entire maintenance process did not need others’ involvement.

Song Shuhang had only needed to provide her with the materials that he got from Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman.

In addition to that, he had allowed her to choose from the leftover materials he had left after forging the Combined Magical Treasure, as well as from the materials that Senior White had dug up in the Wielder’s small black room.

The puppet maiden was brought out from the spatial bracelet.

At this time, in terms of appearance, she looked no different from an ordinary human. It was just that her face was stiff and expressionless. “???” After appearing, the puppet maiden’s orange eyes stared at Song Shuhang and shone. Song Shuhang said, “Will you accompany me on a walk?”

The puppet maiden’s orange pupils flickered, as if sending a message. “What are you trying to say?” Song Shuhang looked puzzled. The puppet maiden shook her head, and then nodded. After that, she turned and strode forward. It was probably due not to having been completely restored yet, but when the puppet maiden walked, she did so rather awkwardly by moving her arms and legs at the same time. Song Shuhang asked, “Is your restoration not complete yet? Do you need any more materials?” The puppet maiden shook her head, and continued to move forward. Western Orchid Island was very prosperous, and the things that were being sold on the streets came from all over the world. Song Shuhang was considering whether to bring home some special products. As they walked, the puppet maiden suddenly stopped. Afterward, she bent down and picked up a ball of wire from the ground.

It wasn’t a treasure, just a very ordinary entangled iron wire.

After picking up the wire, she stretched out her hand and patted off the dust on it before continuing to walk with Song Shuhang.

Along the way, Song Shuhang casually bought some clothes. Recently, due to his body suddenly exploding a few times, he had ended up using up a lot of his clothes. As such, he decided to purchase a few more sets and store them in the Inner World, just in case. Song Shuhang casually asked, “Do you want to buy something?” The puppet maiden shook her head while her hands kept fiddling with the ball of wire. Song Shuhang carried the clothes and strolled with her.

Up until now, the puppet maiden hadn’t said a word... the atmosphere as they strolled around remained rather awkward.

I remember that she should have the ability to speak. At this time, the puppet maiden stopped again. She bent down and picked up a glass bead from the ground. Then, her hands quickly went back to fiddling with the wire. After a while, she stretched out her hand and handed something to Song Shuhang. It was a small tower made of delicate iron wire; it was simple and beautiful. At the uppermost layer of the tower was the glass bead, reflecting sunlight. Song Shuhang exclaimed, “Awesome!” The puppet maiden nodded in satisfaction.

After that, she pointed at the iron tower, slightly opened her mouth, and quickly chanted a spell.

Song Shuhang looked at the puppet maiden in puzzlement.

What is she doing? After chanting, the puppet maiden relaxed her finger.

In the next moment, the iron tower woven from ordinary iron wire exuded a faint light that only practitioners could see.

It was actually emitting light!

After the puppet maiden consecrated the iron tower, the pedestrians who were coming and going were involuntarily attracted to the woven iron tower. The pedestrians were just ordinary people who had not cultivated before, and could not see the light exuding from the iron tower. However, the tower seemed to possess a special charm that made others unable to move their eyes away from it.

Their instincts told them that this iron tower was a treasure.

In fact, the puppet maiden was an existence at the Eighth Stage. This iron tower she had consecrated could indeed be considered as a treasure.

The pedestrians stared at the tower intently, desire burning in their eyes. “...” Song Shuhang. Eventually, someone took the initiative to ask about it. “Little girl, are you selling this tower?” one person asked the puppet maiden in English with a strong local accent. The puppet maiden shook her head. After being rejected, the pedestrian left in disappointment. However, more pedestrians approached the puppet maiden after he failed. Some of them directly quoted a price, while some others tried to exchange for the iron tower with precious items. Song Shuhang looked up at the sky. He suddenly discovered something—it was really easy for practitioners to make money. The puppet maiden had just casually read a spell. As a result, the value of the ordinary hand-made iron tower had increased by 100 times. The pedestrians were rejected one after the other, but they didn’t give up. They began using various tricks and means to try and acquire the iron tower from the puppet maiden.

Then...

A towering young man succeeded.

A ring on his finger had attracted the puppet maiden’s curiosity, which allowed him to use that silver-white skull ring to exchange for the iron tower.

The silver-white skull ring was just a very ordinary ornament. It was made of silver, and was not worth more than a few dollars.

After the puppet maiden got the ring, she continued to stroll along with Shuhang while playing with it. After a while, she reached out and took the skull off the ring, throwing it aside.

Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Is it a treasure?”

The puppet maiden shook her head, and finally communicated with Song Shuhang. Using the secret sound transmission technique, she said, “No, it’s a very ordinary silver ring. However, its owner’s luck has been very good recently. He has worn this silver ring for a long time, and so some of his luck has affected it. With it, you will have good luck.” Song Shuhang said, “Is that so? I knew I should have gotten some of Senior White’s hair.”

The puppet maiden replied, “Your luck is good, but it’s quite weird.”

After that, she reached out again to point at the ring, and then began to consecrate the ring.

After the ring was blessed, it became something that attracted the pedestrians’ attention.

Then...

The puppet maiden managed to exchange the ring for a silver flask.

And then...

The silver flask was exchanged with a slender smoking pipe.

Then...

The pipe was exchanged with a crystal bottle with perfume. Song Shuhang had originally planned to go shopping. However, they had spent most of their time bartering. Two hours later. Song Shuhang’s shopping definitely came to an end.

At this time, his arms were crossed as he sat at the cash register of a small restaurant. He was still very puzzled at this time—and that was because he had become the owner of this small restaurant.

The original owner had traded off this small restaurant to the puppet maiden and ran away happily. Store ownership transferral procedure on Western Orchid Island was extremely convenient and simple. Both parties only needed to sign a contract and then apply for registration online. Soon after, the management of Western Orchid Island would come over to conduct an audit and collect fees. Fifteen minutes later, the property rights and certificates of the store were transferred under Song Shuhang’s name. The whole process was simple. Song Shuhang received the certificate in bewilderment.

Mom, although you’re far away in Wenzhou City, your son has somehow become the owner of a small restaurant in Western Orchid Island overseas. As such, you won’t have to worry about me not finding a job after I graduate from college.

The small restaurant was not big, and it only had six tables.

The original boss was a part-time cook, while the boss’s wife had been responsible for the cash register. Now that the owner and his wife were gone, the small restaurant didn’t even have a cook. Song Shuhang had his arms crossed and was in a daze.

The puppet maiden sat beside him in the same posture.

Song Shuhang asked, “Fairy maiden, can you cook?”

The puppet maiden shook her head. Song Shuhang turned his attention to the Inner World again. Senior Turtle? There was not even a need to consider this-it was definitely not able to cook; it could be an ingredient at most. Lady Onion? She could at most offer some onion sprouts. Pavilion Master Chu? She currently only had her head.

Li Yinzhu’s cuteness was no good here. Selling her cuteness in the store would definitely attract customers, but she was no good when it came to cooking. Moreover, she would freeze the food with her breath.

In the end, only Chu Chu was left. Among all the creatures in the Inner World, it was Chu Chu who looked the most reliable. Chu Chu had just finished practicing. Recently, she had been changing her cultivation technique, and she had switched to the (Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique). Therefore, she was often in a state of meditation. “Chu Chu.” Song Shuhang contacted her. Chu Chu raised her head. “Teacher, you called for me?”

Song Shuhang asked, “Can you cook?”

“???”

Chu Chu. Song Shuhang said, “I somehow became the owner of a restaurant, and now I’m lacking a chef.”

“...” Chu Chu.

Song Shuhang asked again, “Can you?” Chu Chu sincerely replied, “I can only cook some very ordinary dishes.” Song Shuhang said, “Then you’ll be the one! The first task that your teacher gives you is to become the chef of your teacher’s restaurant.” The corners of Chu Chu’s mouth twitched. “Disciple obeys.”

While there were no guests in the small restaurant, Song Shuhang quietly moved Chu Chu out of the Inner World.

Song Shuhang asked, “Say, do cultivators have any special methods, such as adding something like pill liquid to a dish, to immediately make a dish delicious?”

Chu Chu said, “We do, Teacher.” Song Shuhang was surprised. “Are there really such magical means? I was just asking for the sake of it.”

Chu Chu said, “Immortal chefs have such means. They will make some special pill liquids and use them as ingredients.” Song Shuhang said, “We definitely don’t have anything of the sort, but we do have onion sprouts. Should we try adding some?” Lady Onion, who was in the Inner World, suddenly felt cold and shivered. Chu Chu smiled bitterly, and said, “Teacher, I am not an immortal chef. I can’t deal with Lady Onion’s monster qi. If the monster qi isn’t removed, ordinary people will die if they eat the food.”

Song Shuhang immediately remembered what he went through when he had accidentally eaten Lady Onion’s body. Song Shuhang said, “That’s a pity. What dishes can you make? Let’s change the menu in the restaurant. We also have to set the prices for the new dishes.”

“Okay, Teacher,” said Chu Chu. She took out a piece of paper and a pen from the cash register, and quickly wrote the dishes she could cook. At the same time, she asked, “Teacher, is it because you are preparing to live the life of a mortal that you opened a restaurant? Song Shuhang said, “Cough, that’s right. I want to live the life of a mortal for some time.”

... The truth was that since the puppet maiden had exchanged for this restaurant, he planned on running the place while waiting for Senior White or Island Master Tian Tiankong. After all, he didn’t have anything better to do. However, how embarrassing would it be to say that to his disciple?

Chu Chu was a good girl, and she was very capable.

When she wrote the new menu, she did so in multiple languages and reprinted it. She was able to quickly take care of everything. Song Shuhang’s task was to keep his hands crossed along with the puppet maiden and continue to sit at the cashier in a daze.

The bored Song Shuhang then drew a newspaper from the cash register. This newspaper was called Huanjie Weekly-it was a Chinese newspaper. Song Shuhang flipped through it randomly, and saw the latest news.

(Shocking: on a mysterious island isolated from the world, Chinese culture had actually spread.

According to reports, on October 3rd, 2019, Mr. Thor and his fleet accidentally landed on a mysterious island shrouded in mist all year round. This small island was a place that had never been discovered before. There had never been any records of this small island. The residents of the island still led a primitive life.

They used stone spears, bone arrows, and wore animal skins. Their lives were so primitive that it made people wonder whether they had traveled through time itself. However, everyone in that group of primitive humans could speak a few words of Chinese. Moreover, many of the islanders even recited the (Three-Character Classic) and some fragments of the (Analects of Confucius). At present, China had sent a fleet to this isolated island.]

“...”

Song Shuhang. He silently took out his mobile phone, and sent a photo of the newspaper to the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Tyrannical Saber Song One: “@Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, Senior Seven Lives Talisman, I have some news for you.’ Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: “Hehe, I had buried some electrical wires at the small island.

Still, how stupid to say that they had traveled through time itself.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “Little friend Shuhang, that newspaper is already a few days old. I have the latest information... It is said that the residents of that island would recite the (Three-Character Classic) and the (Analects of Confucius). They also know a set of extremely powerful Chinese martial arts named (Times are Calling). The residents of that island would neatly arrange themselves in groups and practice it every day.”

“...”

Song Shuhang. This was definitely Joseph ‘Guy’ Maupassant’s fault.

At that time, Joseph had summoned the residents of the island to unite and practice a technique to defeat Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman. He had secretly taught them the (Times are Calling).

In the end, the natives on the island were all great-disciples of Song Shuhang since Joseph was his ‘nominal disciple’. Fairy Lychee asked, “Speaking of which, Shuhang, has Senior White come back already?”

Tyrannical Saber Song One: “He’s not back yet. I’ve tried calling him a few times, but there was no signal. Senior White is probably still in the chaotic sea. Maybe he found something interesting there.”

Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei: “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song~ I’m still very busy here, so I can’t leave the island for the time being. How about I send someone to arrange for you to stay and rest in a hotel on Western Orchid Island?”

Song Shuhang: “Senior Tian Tianwei, it’s fine. I’ve already gotten a place to stay. I became the owner of a restaurant in Western Orchid Island by accident... Now, I’m getting ready to open for business.”

After saying that, Song Shuhang raised his phone again, took a photo of his small restaurant, and sent it to the group. Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman saw the puppet maiden next to Song Shuhang. “Little friend Shuhang, the puppet maiden is finished repairing her body?” He was able to overcome the heavenly tribulation and condense eight dragon patterns all thanks to the puppet maiden. Although he’d had to crouch down and hold his head in order to transcend the tribulation, which was slightly embarrassing, he was eventually able to come out of it alive.

Song Shuhang said, “She’s pretty much done. There are only some minor issues left, but they won’t affect her actions.” I’m that little white crane at the edge of the Earth’s End: “Seeing the puppet maiden, I suddenly remembered a piece of news. I don’t know if fellow daoists have heard of it, but I recently heard of a country that’s researching ‘human body mechanization’ technology in order to make a robot warrior.”

Things in the Nine Provinces Number One Group had always been this way: the topic would change very quickly. Fairy Lychee said, “Human body mechanization? I remember that the path to immortality of that genius from the Jet-Black Sect was similar to this. They had puppetized their entire body and stepped onto their own path. One is cultivation-style puppetization, while the other is technology-style mechanization.” True Monarch White Crane: “I know right.

When I saw the puppet maiden, I suddenly thought about this topic. Now then, I wonder how strong this robot warrior is going to be.” True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said, “To be honest, I find mechanizing one’s body totally unacceptable. Without a body of flesh, you lose the chance to do a lot of fun things.” No matter how beautiful, a mechanical girl would not be able to get pregnant. Without being able to give birth to a football team, what fun would there be in life?

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “If they’re successful, the combat prowess of such robot warriors might be exceptional. As long as they can reach the level of those robot warriors in movies, their combat abilities should be as high as Second or Third Stage practitioners.” True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said, “By the way, the Valkyrie of True Martial Island seem to use some of the Jet-Black Sect’s puppet technology along with modern technological supplements.”

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “Hehehe, I am more curious about the robot warriors themselves rather than their combat power. Do they eat food or drink gasoline? Moreover, do they charge up or eat batteries?” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: ‘Thrice Reckless’s way of thinking is out of the ordinary as always.” Spirit Butterfly Island’s Soft Feather appeared, and said, “Will they have the ability to transform? When talking about mechanically modified people, one would also immediately think of Transformers.”

Soft Feather had returned to Spirit Butterfly Island.

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “The ability to transform? Suddenly, my brain has transmitted me some bad pictures.”

Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: “What kind of pictures?”

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “Hopefully, no R-18 pictures. Be careful and don’t make trouble for Senior Yellow Mountain .”

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “Well, if there are female fighters among those robot warriors, just imagine a beautiful female fighter suddenly transforming mid-battle, her body changing into a tank or something...

Just visualizing it in my mind makes me feel despair.” Su Clan’s Seven said, “Then just imagine those female fighters as male fighters instead. After doing that, the style would return to normal.” Senior Yellow Mountain suddenly asked, “By the way, Shuhang, can you control your Sage Seal now?

Does it still affect ordinary people?” Song Shuhang replied, “It might be because of the Resurrection Gold Coin and the Time City, but as long as I don’t bring out the Sage Seal, the (nobody under the heavens doesn’t know of me) effect won’t activate, and even ordinary people are unaffected.” If the time he had spent in the Time City was counted, it had taken him over 10 years to resurrect.

Senior Yellow Mountain replied, “That’s great.”

The small restaurant’s business was rather bleak.

However, it might be because dining time had yet to arrive. That could be why there were no visitors.

Song Shuhang, the puppet maiden, and Chu Chu sat side by side, either in a daze or meditating. Song Shuhang said, “I should have stayed in the chaotic sea for a while longer. Maybe I could have gotten something by exploring the place.”

After all, that place was probably an Immortal-level forbidden area.

“Should I make use of the time I now have to talk to Immortal Fairy Bie Xue and see if I can learn how to deal with the monster qi in those green onion sprouts?” Song Shuhang unlocked his phone. In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the topic had already changed. Song Shuhang searched through his friend list for quite some time before finding Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s name.

Just as he was about to send her a message, his restaurant finally got a customer.

A small blonde girl with messy clothes, who looked as if she had just tripped, entered the small restaurant. The little girl asked in English, “Hello, is this place open?” Her voice was pleasant and clear, just as if the noise had been cancelled through some electronic equipment. Her appearance was delicate, just like that of a doll.

Song Shuhang raised his head, and replied, “We are. We’re open 24 hours a day. What would you like to eat?”

Chu Chu got up and handed over the new menu to the little girl. The little girl randomly chose a place to sit down. After taking the menu, she lowered her head and looked at it carefully. Song Shuhang’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He lowered his head and returned to the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

Tyrannical Saber Song One: “@Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Senior Thrice Reckless, remember those questions of yours? I might be able to give you an answer soon.” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber: “???”

Song Shuhang replied, “I might have just gotten a ‘mechanically modified person’ as a customer in my small restaurant. However, I’m not too sure yet. The life aura of this customer is very strange.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator: “Could there be such a coincidence?” Song Shuhang said, “Perhaps it’s not a coincidence.”

He looked at the puppet maiden beside him.

At this time, the puppet maiden still had her arms crossed.

Could she be the reason that girl came here? At this time, the life aura of the puppet maiden had completely receded. Even the orange light in her pupils had faded away. She had become exactly like a large doll. The little blond girl raised her head, and then pointed at several places on the menu. “This, this, and this. There are ten dishes in total, and I want them all. Also, can you serve the dishes soon? I’m a little hungry.”

“No problem.” Chu Chu took the menu and went to the kitchen.

Chu Chu didn’t seem to notice the strangeness of this little blonde girl.

Song Shuhang lowered his head and quickly typed in the Nine Provinces Number One Group. “The other party ordered a lot of dishes. It seems they eat like normal people.” Fairy Lychee said, “Perhaps this customer of yours wasn’t completely modified, and only part of their body was mechanized.”
