Chapter 117: One Month’s Earnings

More than an hour after entering the ocean, Zhou Yu returned to the Old Family House once more. This time, Xiao Pang from the sea had still brought him a Pearl, filling his heart with emotion. If he could get anything else from the Immortal World, he would definitely feed it to Xiao Pang.

After returning to the Old Family House, he received a call from the prop maker. The scabbard was finished, and he was told to log into his social media account to receive the effect pictures and see if any modifications were needed.

After logging in on his Mobile Phone, Zhou Yu saw the pictures of the scabbard. It was almost exactly the same as his previous design. The scabbard’s appearance was not flashy but carried a sense of ancient simplicity, fitting the Green Radiance Flying Sword perfectly.

Afterwards, he called the prop maker, sent his address, and explained that if the size was exactly right, it could be shipped to him immediately. He had been carefully handling the Green Radiance Flying Sword these past few days; having this scabbard would be different.

The prop maker assured him there would be no deviation in size. He promised to ship it within an hour via express delivery, estimating it would arrive in the afternoon.

Zhou Yu agreed. After receiving the goods and confirming no issues, he would make the payment immediately.

Then, he checked the time, picked thirty bunches of Grapes from the grape trellis, placed them in his electric bike, and headed towards Xing’an Town.

Although the money earned from the Grapes now wasn’t as much as selling a few Jade Dew, this was, after all, the first business he had gotten after starting the Radio. It held great commemorative significance.

Of all the things in his yard that could be supplied to the dessert shop, only the Grapes were suitable. As for the Immortal Flavor Fruit and Spirit Bee Honey, although they could also be used in desserts, their prices were too high. Using them in desserts would make them unaffordable for ordinary people.

The dessert shop in Xing’an Town catered mainly to tourists; high-end customers were unlikely to come by. Therefore, Zhou Yu didn’t consider these matters.

Upon arriving in Xing’an Town, Zhou Yu saw trucks carrying armed police driving past. A hint of confusion appeared on his face, not knowing what had happened again.

Arriving at Sweetheart Cottage, Zhou Yu entered the dessert shop through the back door and handed the Grapes to Wei Dehua. Just as he was about to leave, Wei Dehua called out to him, “Xiao Yu, don’t rush off.”

“Uncle Wei, what’s up?” Zhou Yu turned back and asked curiously. He occasionally ate some desserts here, but more often than not, he just delivered the Grapes and went back, as there were still things waiting for him at the yard.

“You forgot, didn’t you? Don’t you want the money? It’s been almost a month since we started cooperating. It’s time to settle the accounts and split the earnings.” Seeing Zhou Yu’s confused expression, Wei Dehua said somewhat helplessly.

Zhou Yu suddenly realized, “Oh, oh, a month already, time flies so fast.” Unknowingly, he had possessed the Radio for over a month now.

“Come on in, to my office. I’ve already prepared the bill. Take a look.” Wei Dehua shook his head with a smile and led Zhou Yu into the office.

Once in the office, the two sat at the table. Wei Dehua handed him a stack of bills. “This is the sales bill for the desserts containing Grapes sold in the dessert shop this past month. There’s also a computer here; you can check the records.”

Zhou Yu nodded, took the bills, and began slowly looking through them. Wei Dehua continued, “Over the past month, the desserts made from the Grapes you brought have sold extremely well, greatly boosting the overall sales of our dessert shop.”

“The total sales of the dessert shop reached six hundred thousand, and the sales from your Grapes accounted for two hundred and forty thousand. According to our previous contract, you get forty percent of the sales, which is ninety-six thousand yuan.”

Originally, during their initial cooperation, the agreed split was thirty percent. But later, due to the popularity of the grape desserts, he repeatedly asked Zhou Yu to add ten more bunches of Grapes per day, increasing the split by ten percent. This increase was applied from the start date of their cooperation.

Previously, his dessert shop’s monthly sales were at most a little over two hundred thousand. Now, it had more than doubled.

Zhou Yu skimmed through the bills. The daily sales numbers for grape desserts varied, depending on what customers ordered, but several types of desserts sold the best.

Ninety-six thousand yuan a month meant each bunch of Grapes was worth over a hundred yuan, earning him a bit more than selling the Grapes alone would have.

However, when he first got the Radio and set up the Spirit Gathering Array, ninety-some thousand a month was enough to excite him. Now, a month later, just taking out a single mature Jade Dew plant could sell for seventy or eighty thousand.

“Uncle Wei, I have no issues. Let’s split it according to this bill.” Zhou Yu looked for a while and then nodded.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn’t seem too concerned, Wei Dehua smiled with emotion. “You’ve really made it big, kid. I heard you have a few Surfing Divine Dogs, getting a million a year in advertising fees.”

“Nowhere near as good as your dessert shop. Your monthly sales are almost as much as those Surfing Divine Dogs of mine.” Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile. The advertising fees for the Divine Dogs were just surface-level money. The things that earned him the most were the Immortal Flavor Fruit and Jade Dew.

“Sales are sales, not net profit. And I’m not as leisurely as you. Alright, confirm this bill, and I’ll transfer the ninety-six thousand to your account.” Wei Dehua took out a profit-sharing bill and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu nodded, carefully looked at the bill, then signed his name. Wei Dehua then transferred the ninety-six thousand to Zhou Yu via online banking.

In the office, he chatted with Wei Dehua for a while longer before heading out. His electric bike had been moved by a staff member from the back door to the front entrance on Wei Dehua’s instructions.

Passing through the dessert shop, he overheard some discussions from people around him. “Hey, did you see? This morning, a bunch of police and armed officers came to Xing’an Town and surrounded the surrounding forests.”

“Yeah, I heard. It seems there was a violent robbery and murder case in the city last night. The criminals apparently fled all the way to the forests around Xing’an Town and hid.”

“The forests near Xing’an Town are so vast, with good wild environment. Finding someone who went in there wouldn’t be easy.”

“Don’t worry, the police are after them. Those criminals won’t make it to the town anyway.”

Hearing these discussions, Zhou Yu’s expression changed slightly. No wonder he saw trucks of armed police passing by this morning. So robbers had escaped into the nearby forests.

“Uncle Wei, you’ve heard about this too, right?” Zhou Yu quietly asked Wei Dehua.

“I heard, just don’t know the specific details. But with so many police, no matter how capable those criminals are, they can’t get to the town. No need to worry.” Wei Dehua said indifferently.

Zhou Yu nodded. With so many armed officers, there really was no need to worry. After bidding farewell to Wei Dehua, he rode his electric bike all the way back home.

Back at the Old Family House, he received a text message. The ninety-six thousand yuan had been deposited. He smiled, checked his account balance: over two million six hundred thousand. This was just the money earned within Huaxia over the past month. There was also over a hundred thousand US dollars in his Hong Kong account.

The two biggest earnings were from Huzi’s endorsement advertisement, one million, and the Large Black Muscle Dew Variegated he sold to the Small Island Country succulent plants expert, also for one million.

As for the other Immortal Flavor Fruit and Jade Dew, he sold over a million worth. Combined, it was originally over three million, but he spent over six hundred thousand on Jade Stone and a car.

Adding the money in the Hong Kong account, his wealth had once again reached over three million.

Speaking of which, the donation box for Huzi’s surfing project had received about eighty or ninety thousand over the past few days. He gave half to Wang Fugui, after all, this guy was with Huzi every day. The success of the surfing project could partly be credited to this Gouwa.

When they split the money earlier, Gouwa laughed heartily, saying he must show off to his father that he earned so much money just by playing around with surfing every day, making Zhou Yu chuckle at the time.

Looking at his account balance, Zhou Yu felt a tinge of emotion. What was once a distant dream of wealth, the millionaire dream of many, he had achieved within a month.
