Gu Han returned home as the city was already lit up, approaching seven o'clock in the evening. Upon entering, he found a pile of large and small packages neatly arranged in his home. These were the clothes bought this afternoon at the clothing mall. In a thousand years, logistics had developed to an extreme, and items ordered and purchased on the spot could be delivered to your door within two hours.
For official enterprises like the clothing mall, even if you weren't home, they could still deliver directly to your house. It was unclear whether this was a good thing that made life more convenient or a bad thing that infringed on personal privacy.
As soon as he got home, Gu Han sent the greasy Qingpin to take a shower. Then, Gu Han thoughtfully placed the newly bought underwear and pajamas at the bathroom door, while he practiced sword techniques in the living room.
Qingpin showered quickly and, upon finishing, promptly kicked Gu Han out of the living room. There was no way around it; the popular animated series "The Seven Heroes" was about to start. Qingpin had become obsessed with this show last night and had taken over the internet TV in the living room, finishing all the previously aired episodes. Today, he was catching up with the latest updates.
Being kicked out of the living room, Gu Han idly refreshed the game forum and was surprised to find that, despite several days having passed, discussions about the Admiral were becoming even more intense. Especially the thread discussing how the Admiral completed the dungeon in an hour was being updated at a rate of hundreds of posts per minute. By the time Gu Han saw the thread, it had already reached over a million posts. This made him believe what Nian Dangyue had said at noon—that someone was willing to pay 30,000 RMB for his first interview.
"Only 30,000? Did I underprice myself?" Gu Han suddenly thought. A quick idea popped into his head: since his first strategy was so valuable, why not sell it as a paid post? That would be a huge profit.
Gu Han decided to act on his idea but didn't plan to use his main account. His main account was a max-level account on the forum, and he had posted many high-quality strategy guides, making him quite famous. Using this account would have too much of an impact, at least causing an explosion in the forum's elite QQ group.
So, Gu Han chose to apply for a new account called "Admiral12580." Unfortunately, all names from "Admiral" to "Admiral1-12579" had already been taken, so he had to follow the system's suggestion and use "Admiral12580."
It took about three hours for Gu Han to write a detailed guide for the "Yuewang Goujian Sword" dungeon, carefully proofreading the text and removing information he couldn't disclose, such as not choosing the initial sword maiden and using the Qingpin Jian, or killing the Flowing Years Calendar to obtain the Yuewang Goujian Sword.
The reason Gu Han could complete the dungeon in an hour was mainly due to his own powerful combat skills as a sword master, which prevented him from wasting time because the Yuewang had forgotten the sword techniques.
Therefore, in the post, Gu Han specifically pointed out that his method required strong sword skills and even created a few effective moves against wild wolves and Steel Fangs for players to learn. For players like Flowing Years Lin, who were from the ancient martial arts circle, this could significantly reduce the time needed.
However, for the average player, the post wouldn't be very helpful. At most, they would learn how to escape the ruins and reach the Honest Man's Supermarket in one minute. They wouldn't be able to learn the moves Gu Han had created on the spot in a short time.
Of course, most players couldn't enter the "Yuewang Goujian Sword" dungeon a second time, so they were just curious about how the Admiral had completed it in an hour. They wanted to know if they could do it themselves, but it didn't have much practical significance for them.
After confirming everything was correct, Gu Han titled the post "I am the Admiral, and I will personally explain how to achieve an SSS rating!" and set the reading fee to 5 RMB. He then officially posted it. Since the internet was under the surveillance of BAT, any piracy of Gu Han's post would be immediately shut down and fined, so he wasn't worried about piracy.
(P.S.: As authors, we hope for a world like this, where super AI like BAT eliminates piracy. It would be fantastic.)
However, the flood of clicks and money that Gu Han imagined after posting the thread didn't happen. This was normal; a level-one account posting a clickbait title that required payment would naturally not attract much interest. The post was quickly buried in the sea of other posts, causing no ripples.
By the time Gu Han finished writing the post, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Normally, Gu Han, a night owl, wouldn't go to bed until after two o'clock the next morning, but today he wanted to sleep early. Qingpin was already lying on Gu Han's bed, wearing a cute spotted dog pajama, fast asleep!
Gu Han's home was small, with only one bed... Gu Han certainly didn't intentionally let Qingpin sleep in his bed.
Seeing Qingpin's sweet and adorable sleeping face, Gu Han quietly got into bed and gently held Qingpin's small body in his arms. Qingpin had been in his arms all afternoon, and it felt a bit strange to be without him.
Gu Han had a dreamless night!
——————————
When Gu Han opened his eyes, it was already the next morning. Qingpin was nowhere to be found, but the sound of "Fairy, prepare to die!" from the living room indicated that Qingpin had woken up early to watch "The Seven Heroes." But that was odd; "The Seven Heroes" didn't air in the morning!
Gu Han didn't bother to think about it. He opened his computer and checked the post from his new account, which still had no replies. This made him a bit depressed. He was about to post a comment to artificially bump the thread when he heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it? Song Hama?"
"Respected Mr. Gu Han, we are from the Swordholder Service Center's moving company. Your housing in the core area is ready, and we are here to help you move!"
Gu Han remembered that he had indeed received a notice about housing in the core area when he became a swordholder. This showed how severely the resources of human society were skewed towards swordholders. A core area residence that would cost ordinary people tens of millions was directly given to new swordholders without any consideration of cost.
However, the voice from outside the door sounded familiar. When he opened the door, it was none other than Wang Tianlei, who had come to collect a debt from Wen Meiyun the previous night.
"You... you... you're a swordholder..." Wang Tianlei immediately recognized Gu Han and was almost scared to death. He had defamed a swordholder the previous night, and no wonder the man had said he could slice off his mouth. Publicly defaming a swordholder was punishable by having one's mouth sliced off, which was considered a fair punishment.
"Alright, I won't hold it against you. If you want to make amends, help me move my things to my new home quickly!" Gu Han saw Wang Tianlei's fear and patted him on the shoulder to reassure him.
"Yes, sir!" Wang Tianlei saluted and immediately called the other movers inside, who began to move Gu Han's belongings and furniture with great efficiency. According to Gu Han's request, all the furniture, which contained traces of his parents, had to be transferred to the new home without any omissions.
During the move, Gu Han chatted with Wang Tianlei.
"Aren't you from outside the city? How did you end up working for a moving company in the city?"
"Sir, I wanted to work outside the city. It's more dangerous, but the pay is much higher, at least ten times more than this moving job. But my sister is in the hospital, and only my father is taking care of her. I'm afraid he can't handle it, so I had to return to the city to work, earning money while taking care of them both."
"How did things go yesterday? Did Ms. Wen end up paying you?"
Gu Han had decided not to ask about this, but thinking of Wen Meiyun's melancholic face, he couldn't help but ask.
"Well, we went to the hospital with her to see my sister. When Mrs. Long saw my sister's condition, she gave us 800,000 RMB for the surgery. My sister can have the operation next week!" Wang Tianlei's expression was very sunny and excited, clearly showing that his sister's recovery had lifted his spirits.
"However, Mrs. Long seemed to be under a lot of pressure. She almost jumped out of the window when she left the hospital... Now, thinking about it, maybe I should have asked for 600,000 RMB... Our father still has some savings, and we could have managed to come up with the extra 200,000 RMB."
Wang Tianlei felt a bit uneasy. He was afraid that Wen Meiyun might have jumped to her death, and he would be responsible for her death.
"Want to commit suicide?" Gu Han muttered. It was clear that Wen Meiyun loved her daughter deeply. Even after paying 800,000 RMB, she still had 200,000 RMB left, which should be enough to support her daughter until adulthood if she was frugal. Could there be other hidden issues with Wen Meiyun?
Forget it, there are many tragic people in the world. I can't take care of everyone.
Everyone should take care of their own family and go back to their own homes.
