Welcome LiYun to Ourchat!

Bufu: @LiYun, 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.

LiYun: 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 on mute and returned to reading. From the general flow of the conversation, he could tell that Bufu and Xuxu were going to start arguing again.

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 and Li Yun had barely moved an inch since the last time she saw him.

"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 and returned to reading a thick medical book on his bed,

"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 the acceptance letter, Lu Suyin wanted to use his room as an "office." Lu Suyin left him alone while shaking her head and returned to the living room to play mahjong.

"Little Yun, you're going to throw away all of the scrolls?" asked Wu Ling as she entered the room and 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?" All Li Yun could see were yuan signs in her eyes.

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

"25, 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 Little Yun from now on."

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

"Fine!" Wu Ling agreed, but internally, she complained about how stingy her little cousin was.

The following day, his parents Li Fan and Lu Suyin watched the line of middle schoolers carrying boxes out of their apartment. They were used to having the neighboring units into their apartment, but seeing some of the kids working was a bit unusual.

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

"Not sure, Little 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.

Aside from the bedroom, the storage space allotted to them on the ground floor 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, scratching the back of his head.

"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," Li Yun could finally see his bedroom walls.

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. Any money that he earned would be used to repay the tuition loan he got from his parents. However, it may take years before any of the scrolls and books were sold.

"Better use that money on repainting this room," Lu Suyin remarked shaking while looking at the bedroom walls, marred by various black ink strokes.

"All right, all right," Li Yun pushed his parents out of his room and closed the door.

With all the extra scrolls shipped and set up on TeeBee Shop, and with Wu Ling handling the management of the account, Li Yun focused on reading textbooks and earning more action points. 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.

Li Yun felt the scar underneath his left eye, and thought about Elder Pei's apartment unit. He had not been to the unit since it had been occupied by a new neighbor, but Li Yun could still remember sitting by the desk, staring at the brick wall of the adjacent apartment building and copying the Taoist texts under Elder Pei's supervision. Those were fond memories he didn't want to forget. Elder Pei wouldn't mind if he set some of his medical textbooks by the calligraphy bookshelf.

With a memory palace created, Li Yun dived into reading the medical textbooks. Once in college, his plan was to comprehend meridians and achieve the state of Zuowang.
