Chapter 6: The First Profit

While interacting with the netizens in the livestream, the taxi drove from the foot of the mountain in the suburbs toward the bustling downtown area.

Eventually, it stopped in front of a shop named Lanxiang Tailor Shop.

Lin Nan got out of the car, held up his phone, and explained

"My fellow Immortals, this is the tailor shop I contacted in advance."

"According to the owner, she has made quite a few cosplay costumes, including armor-like outfits. She is quite experienced, so the finished product will definitely be good."

"Now, I'll take you all inside to have a look."

As he pushed open the glass door, the motion sensor hanging at the entrance automatically chimed, "Welcome."

A woman around thirty-five years old, sitting next to a sewing machine, looked up upon hearing the sound.

Seeing the appearance of the person leading the way, the woman was startled and quickly stood up, muttering to herself

"Did the industrial and commercial inspectors change shifts? Why didn't they give any notice before coming to inspect?"

Hearing the woman's words, Wang Chengyu chuckled and said from behind

"Sister, we aren't industrial and commercial inspectors."

"We're the students who called you this morning about making a set of armor."

The woman was stunned. She pointed at Lin Nan and asked

"He's a student too?!"

The rising inflection at the end of her sentence showed her disbelief.

How could a student have such a serious, mature face?

And why did he exude an aura of authority, the kind only high-ranking officials possess?

Seeing that someone had misunderstood his identity again, Lin Nan had no choice but to explain helplessly

"Sister, I'm the one who called you. I am Lin Nan."

"Ah? You're Lin Nan?!"

Realizing she had mistaken the person, the woman covered her mouth and looked Lin Nan up and down in disbelief.

Noticing that Lin Nan was indeed quite young and that it was just his appearance and temperament that caused the misunderstanding, she said quite embarrassedly

"My apologies, my eyes aren't what they used to be. Please don't mind me."

Lin Nan's helpless nod made the netizens in the livestream burst into laughter at the recent blunder.

【Hahahaha, the streamer's face is just too misleading.】

【Hahaha, it's hilarious, the streamer's helpless expression is even funnier!】

【See? Even the shop owner got it wrong! You can't blame us for misunderstanding right off the bat, hahaha.】

【Look at the streamer, he's already used to this. I bet he gets mistaken for someone else all the time.】

【Who's to say otherwise? If the streamer were standing in front of me, I'd have the same reaction as the shop owner.】

The shop owner walked over, wearing a well-tailored dress that showed off her good figure.

Although there were some fine lines on her face, the charm of a mature woman made those traces fade away, not affecting her beauty in the slightest.

She raised the measuring tape in her hand and said softly

"Come, let me take your measurements first. Then you can send me the image and tell me your requirements."

The shop owner's slender fingers held the tape, quickly measuring his chest, waist, and hips, along with other important dimensions.

As she leaned in, Lin Nan caught a faint, lingering scent of orchids.

No wonder the shop was named Lanxiang (Orchid Fragrance) Tailor Shop; the owner must love this scent.

After recording the numbers, the shop owner used her computer to open the image of the Thunder Ancestor that Lin Nan had sent.

Lin Nan then stated his requirements: "The armor should be primarily black, and please make it as detailed as possible."

"As for the crown, it should be primarily gold..."

After relaying all the suggestions the netizens had made last night, Lin Nan immediately turned to the camera and said

"My fellow Immortals in the livestream, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

【Streamer, I think the belt of the armor should be inlaid with jade in the center, flanked by emeralds and jewelry. Only such a belt can reflect the status of the Thunder Ancestor.】

【I agree with the suggestion above. I looked it up: the Thunder Ancestor is the incarnation of the Jade Clarity True King, the ninth son of the Primordial Heavenly Lord of Fuli. He holds a noble status and commands the Thunder Department. He can also manipulate natural forces like wind, clouds, rain, and lightning, and possesses great combat power.

So, I think the crown should be made more ornate, and we could add beads in the representative colors of natural elements as accents to better highlight the Thunder Ancestor's abilities.】

After reading the comments, Lin Nan said

"Alright, everyone's suggestions have been shown to the shop owner."

The shop owner chimed in: "You all know so much! I've noted down all the requirements."

"Handsome, when will you come to pick it up?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan said somewhat embarrassedly

"The sooner the better. If possible, I'd like to have it before I get off work tomorrow."

However, Lin Nan's request put the shop owner in a difficult position.

"That's so early; there isn't enough time. I still need to find suitable accessories."

"After all, this armor is quite ornate. Even if everyone in my shop works overtime until midnight, we still won't be able to finish it."

"Handsome, is tomorrow noon okay?"

Lin Nan nodded.

"That's fine. Sorry for the trouble, I'll come to pick it up around eleven tomorrow."

The shop owner agreed.

After collecting the deposit, she didn't waste a moment and immediately busied herself directing several seamstresses to start working on the clothes.

Lin Nan held his phone and walked out of the tailor shop with Wang Chengyu.

At this moment, the phone that had been livestreaming the whole time issued a notification that the battery was below 20%.

Seeing that the livestream had lasted for nearly four hours, Lin Nan said to the netizens

"My fellow Immortals, thank you all for your support."

"The costume and crown have been ordered. Once I pick them up tomorrow noon and return to the dorm, I will start the stream at exactly 12:00 PM. I hope you will all be there to witness it."

"That's it for today's stream. See you all tomorrow."

After thanking them for a few gifts, Lin Nan closed the livestream.

At this moment, the excited Wang Chengyu rushed over and threw his arm around Lin Nan's shoulder.

"Brother Nan, the concurrent viewers in the livestream broke a thousand! That's so awesome!"

"And man, those three divine lots you cast today were so cool! It was like you had divine help!"

The more steady Jiang Tao also had an excited look on his face.

Whenever Lin Nan couldn't see the livestream comments, it was Jiang Tao who was watching them on his own phone.

Therefore, Jiang Tao could be said to know the specific situation of this livestream like the back of his hand.

"Lin Nan, the gift earnings from today's stream should be around three or four hundred, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan was stunned. He had been so busy thanking people for gifts that he had forgotten about that!

He opened the earnings page.

Sure enough, the number displayed was 391.27 yuan!

Lin Nan was overjoyed. Who would have thought that he could earn his first income just as college started!

Wang Chengyu, standing to the side, also saw the number and shouted in Lin Nan's ear

"Holy crap, Brother Nan, you've hit the big time! You can't forget about your brothers!"

"Haha."

Lin Nan laughed.

"Let's go, let's go grab a meal at a restaurant outside!"

Wang Chengyu's eyes lit up. At the mention of food, he couldn't suppress the grin on his face.

"Brother Nan, are you for real?!"

Lin Nan nodded and said earnestly

"Jiang Tao was the one who suggested the livestream in the first place."

"Besides, this morning's stream definitely wouldn't have worked without you two."

"Let's go, don't say anything else, let's just feast!"

The three of them walked into a barbecue restaurant, ordered plenty of skewers, and even called for a crate of beer.

Most of the day's earnings were spent while dreaming about the future.

A group of people with average alcohol tolerance returned to the dorm and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.

After a bout of snoring, Lin Nan, remembering that there were still things left to do, scrambled up.

He got out of bed, sat at the desk, opened his laptop, and began typing away.

Hearing the sound of the keyboard, Wang Chengyu groggily opened his eyes and asked in a sleepy voice

"Brother Nan, what are you doing?"

Lin Nan didn't look up and explained

"Looking up information related to the Thunder Ancestor."

"I have to start roleplaying tomorrow noon; I can't afford to embarrass myself in the livestream."

"Besides, embarrassment is a small matter, but if it affects the viewership data, that would be a real loss."

After saying that, Lin Nan dove into the ocean of knowledge and didn't speak again.
