I'm a male god in Liyue

"Oh, I'm up."

Zhu Zi quickly closed the book and stuffed it back under her pillow, then patted her flushed and burning cheeks.

"Go downstairs and wash up first, I'll change my clothes."

"Ok."

Zhu Zi didn't hear any footsteps coming downstairs outside the door, but she knew Diona had already gone down.

Cats are like that; they walk with an exceptionally light and agile gait.

Zhu Zi got out of bed, opened the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose a more formal outfit.

After changing her clothes and going downstairs, Zhu Zi saw Qi Qi mopping the floor in the lobby.

"Good morning, Qiqi!"

"morning."

Qi Qi nodded to Zhu Zi, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes as she looked at the new clothes she was wearing.

Is Zhu Zi dressed like this to submit a manuscript to a publishing house today...?

After washing up, Zhu Zi and Diona took the camera and their shopping baskets and went out.

Qiqi continued to mop the floor diligently by herself.

When Xia Zhi got up and went downstairs, Qi Qi had already mopped the entire store floor clean.

She didn't feel tired, after all, she was a zombie.

"Boss, morning."

Good morning, Qiqi.

Qiqi immediately took out a medicine box and gave it to Xia Zhi.

“I found another Heart-Eating Vine on the mountain last night.”

"This is a bit dangerous."

"Ah."

"I'll keep it for you."

"it is good."

Xia Zhi put the medicine box into his inventory. Ordinary people should not touch such poisonous herbs, but Qi Qi is a zombie and is not afraid at all.

He turned around and prepared to go to the back of the house to wash up.

Qiqi watched his retreating figure, a barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, and pursed her lips.

Heart-eating vine is a highly poisonous herb that grows on steep cliffs.

Qiqi didn't recognize this poisonous plant at first; it was Xia Zhi who taught her to identify it these past few days.

Last night, while collecting glass bags, she unexpectedly discovered the existence of this Heart-Eating Vine.

However, it grows in a very dangerous location, making it difficult to harvest.

Qiqi hesitated for a moment when she saw it, but in the end she still went to great lengths to pick it.

As a result, the clothes she had worn for so long were worn out and tattered.

I thought... I'd get a compliment from the boss...

Just as Qi Qi was thinking this, she saw Xia Zhi suddenly turn back around.

"What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Hey?"

"The Heart-Eating Vine grows in very harsh conditions, and it's quite an achievement that you managed to harvest it. As a reward, you can order it as a dish."

"I...I want to eat steamed buns."

"Okay, I'll go make the dough in a bit."

Xia Zhi nodded and went to the back of the house.

Qiqi sat down at the table, her eyes brightening.

She took out her notebook and quietly began to read it, her little feet gently dangling under the table.

When Zhu Zi and Diona returned from grocery shopping, everyone in the store had gotten up.

Except for Yao Yao.

The little girl practices shooting every morning, just as diligently as her senior, Shen He.

"We took more photos of the sunrise at the pier!"

"have a look."

What groceries did you buy?

Lotus root.

"I'll fry some lotus root sandwiches for you guys at noon."

"Boss, what's for breakfast?"

"steamed stuffed bun."

"Cousin, I want to eat minced pork with soy sauce."

"Okay, make one with cabbage filling and one with sauerkraut filling too."

Upon hearing the word "pickled cabbage," Xia Ci glanced sideways at Shen He, whose expression remained unchanged.

If you want to eat something, you have to beg, but other people don't even have to ask.

Tsk, those who are favored really take it for granted.

After finishing breakfast, Zhu Zi hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My novel is finished, and I plan to submit it to Liyue Publishing House this morning. Does anyone want to go?"

"I think!"

"I am coming too!"

"Add me one."

In the end, everyone decided to go together. Anyway, it was a day off, and it would be boring to stay in the store. Going out for a walk would be nice.

The sun was out, but the wind was still a bit cold on my face.

The streets of Feiyunpo were bustling with people.

Zhu Zi was holding a stack of manuscripts in his arms, looking a little nervous.

Akabane put his arm around her shoulder and comforted her with a smile, saying, "It's okay. I think if it's well-written, I'll definitely get a contract."

"Ah."

Zhu Zi nodded, but she was still nervous and under pressure.

Xia Zhi smiled. Actually, this was the normal mindset, unlike him. He had only submitted his work for fun last time.

Ascending the stairs, everyone arrived at Liyue Publishing House, located next to Wanwen Collection House.

Xia Zhi stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Xia Zhi pushed open the door: "Excuse me, is Editor Mei here?"

A woman wearing glasses immediately looked up and gazed at the doorway.

"I'm here, who was looking for me... Oh, it's Teacher Yuye!"

Editor Amei's expression turned to surprise, and she quickly stood up and walked towards him.

"Teacher Yuye, what brings you here? Is it because you've finished writing the second volume of your novel?"

"No, it's a friend of mine. She really likes novels and recently tried writing one. I thought the quality was pretty good, so I recommended that she submit it here."

"That's it."

Editor Amei felt a little regretful upon hearing this.

Xia Zhi's book became a huge hit, and he is now considered her best-performing author. She has been enjoying the commission from that one book for the past two months.

She was even more eager than the readers for Xia Zhi to finish writing the second volume.

If it were any other author, she, as the editor, would have to urge them to update at least once a day.

Because every day, many authors submit manuscripts to publishers, all of which are imitative works that follow the trend of writing about immortal cultivation and broken engagements.

She looked very anxious.

All novels under heaven are plagiarized; once they've finished plagiarizing, they compete to see who can burn the most.

If you keep dragging your feet on writing the later parts, your readers will get impatient, and other authors might snatch them away.

But she didn't dare to go to him and urge him to update the series.
