11 11 - TeeBee Shop

Welcome DaYun to Ourchat!

Bufu: @DaYun, welcome!

Fatty: This is convenient, we can chat as a group.

Ersan: Weird that it's called OurChat.

Bufu: One of my online gaming buddies recommended it. I thought it would be cool since some of us are leaving.

JuDe: Good luck bros, wait for me, I'll study hard to get into Binchu as well.

Xuxu: How do I change my picture?

Bufu: @Fatty, Why did you add her in?

Fatty: Well, she did help us get through the exam.

DaYun: We need to watch her in case she causes trouble.

Xuxu: What the ***, you guys cause more trouble than me.

Bufu: Ruining someone's marriage isn't troublesome?

Xuxu: Oh please, he's still married, and they even have a kid now.

Bufu: Yah, only after Li Yun talked to him.

Li Yun set his new Lokia cell phone aside and returned to reading. He could tell that Bufu and Xuxu would continue arguing.

A moment later, Lu Suyin walked by the bedroom, and her face scrunched, ruining her perfectly round face. She had already asked Li Yun to clean his room earlier in the week, but it was still a mess. The walls and floor were always littered with paper, textbooks, and scrolls.

Li Yun was still reading a thick medical book on his bed, barely moving an inch since the last time she saw him.

"Xiao Yun! Didn't I ask you to clean?" asked Lu Suyin.

"By the end of the week, the week isn't over yet," Li Yun replied.

"How are you even going to get all this crap out?"

While his mother nagged, his cousin, Wu Ling, looked in from the hallway, and her eyes widened in shock at the number of scrolls and books scattered throughout the little room. She had been over a couple of times with her mom, but she had never looked inside Li Yun's room before. Her brother, Wu Bin, had mentioned to her that her little cousin was obsessed with Taoism, but she did not know to what extent.

"You better clear up this room and dump everything out," Lu Suyin nagged.

"I haven't even left for university yet and you're already planning a game room," Li Yun complained.

Li Yun and his friends were accepted into Binchu University. Immediately after receiving the acceptance letter, Lu Suyin wanted to use his room as an "office."

Lu Suyin left him alone, shaking her head, and returning to the mahjong game.

"Xiao Yun, you're going to throw away all of the scrolls?" asked Wu Ling as she picked up one scroll to examine the content.

Even though she wasn't an expert, she could tell that her cousin's handwritten Taoist texts could be worth a lot.

Looking at the greedy glint in the 14-years old girl's eyes, Li Yun had already figured out what she was planning.

"10%," Li Yun stated.

"10 what?" Wu Ling asked, a bit confused.

"Aren't you planning to sell these on TeeBee Shop?" asked Li Yun.

Wu Ling clicked her tongue and sneered at him. She hated that her cousin always seemed to know what she was thinking.

"30, not only do I need to organize this mess, I need to manage the TeeBee Shop account, package it and then ship the orders out," Wu Ling countered.

"15, I doubt you will be doing any of that yourself. I know you have a bunch of lackeys from school."

"25, you know, managing people takes time."

"15, once you ship everything to the TeeBee Shop, you only need to manage the orders from your phone."

"20, and I'll stop calling you Xiao Yun from now on."

"20, but only if you start calling me Yun Ge from now on."

"Fine!"

The following day, his parents Li Fan and Lu Suyin watched the line of middle schoolers carrying boxes out of their apartment.

"How much are you paying these kids?" asked Li Fan.

"Not sure, Xiao Ling is handling it," Li Yun replied, still in his room reading and partially supervising the middle schoolers.

"Are they also removing the boxes from our storage room?" asked Li Fan.

They had a storage space on the ground floor that had all of Li Fan's old texts. The middle schoolers were going to empty that out the next day.

"Are there any labor rules against this?" Li Fan wondered.

"More important question, how much are you charging for your scrolls?" asked Lu Suyin.

"From 50 to 2000 yuan."

Lu Suyin's eyes opened wide. "Who's going to buy Taoist texts for that much!?"

"I don't know, but at least my room is cleaned," said Li Yun.

The prices were high, but Li Yun didn't want to shortchange himself. Although he wasn't going to sell the complete collection that the system had approved, all the other failed copies, aside from the ones written during elementary school, were considered high quality. Every single scroll and book was hand-copied, so they naturally had a higher price, especially the ones with the diagrams and images.

Once everything was shipped and set up, it may take years before any of the scrolls and books were sold.

With Wu Ling handling the management of the TeeBee Shop account, he focused on reading more textbooks.

Memorizing textbooks was not easy. These weren't stories that could be tapped into the emotional side of the brain, but actual textbooks for medical schools. To create a memory palace for just the medical books would be difficult as it required a lot of space.

In the apartment complex, Li Yun was familiar with several different units but decided to make a memory palace in Lao Pei's unit, filled with medical knowledge.

Once in college, he would shift his focus to comprehend meridians and achieve the state of Zuowang.
