Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1684: Blackhearted?
Su Chen cultivated until the next morning. He looked around and saw that it was already daylight, so he stopped and went to make some breakfast!
After breakfast, he took a casual stroll nearby, as he had been cultivating all night!
While walking around the neighborhood, he encountered the woman next door who also seemed to be out for a stroll!
"Morning, Miss Jiang!"
Su Chen casually greeted her.
This was a common way to say hello on Earth, though it was clear she wasn't used to it!
"Morning."
Jiang Shiqi replied softly upon hearing Su Chen's greeting.
"By the way, Miss Jiang, why are you living here alone? Where are your family members?"
Since they met, Su Chen casually asked a question!
"You don't know who I am?"
Jiang Shiqi seemed a bit surprised at Su Chen's words.
"Should I know?"
Su Chen tilted his head as he replied.
Hearing this, Jiang Shiqi looked at Su Chen, as if judging whether what he said was genuine!
"So far, I only know your name!"
Su Chen replied with a calm smile.
Indeed, he knew nothing about her except for her name, not even her cultivation level!
This was because her aura was restrained, which meant he needed a significantly stronger cultivation to gauge her exact realm!
Fortunately, most people usually don't restrain their aura without reason!
Thus, he could typically gauge or estimate based on the True Essence Aura others exuded!
For instance, he estimated Lu Kang to be at the First Turn of the Cave Void Realm by comparing him to Guo Sen!
Similarly, if someone didn't restrain their aura, he could estimate the strength from First Turn to Second Turn or even Third or Fourth Turn!
However, there could be some discrepancies!
Of course, martial artists sometimes rely on an instinctive feeling!
For instance, that demoness An felt incredibly powerful to him!
At the very least, he suspected he might not be able to defeat her even if he fought with all his might!
The woman before him didn't feel as strong as An, but she likely wasn't weak either!
At least not weaker than Lu Kang!
Of course, Su Chen currently had little idea of his own strength's limits!
One thing he was certain of was that the maximum power of his "Shattering Mountain River" punch was roughly equivalent to the Third Turn of the Cave Void Realm!
And after his last breakthrough, his strongest "Thousand Hand Seal" was significantly stronger than "Shattering Mountain River," potentially reaching the power of the Fifth or even Sixth Turn!
Moreover, the "Thousand Hand Seal" could integrate Stellar Power, and he had stored an abundance of Stellar Power in his body!
Consequently, the extent of his strongest abilities was also unclear to him!
...
In fact, after she revealed her name that day, Jiang Shiqi regretted it, feeling impulsive!
However, the other party's casual attitude at the time led her to disclose it instinctively!
Now looking at him, she felt he wasn't lying!
Recalling his previous reaction, she partially believed him!
"I'm sorry..."
Jiang Shiqi apologized, feeling her previous wariness wasn't appropriate.
She couldn't entirely blame herself, as recent events had naturally frayed her nerves!
"No worries, you probably have your reasons too."
Su Chen responded with a carefree smile.
Jiang Shiqi heard this simple response, and smiled slightly, finding it easy to converse with him!
The key was, he was very empathetic!
At least, very respectful!
"That's right, you should smile more often; it makes you more beautiful!"
Su Chen joked:
"In my hometown, we have a saying: smile, and you'll stay young for ten years!"
"Your hometown has some interesting sayings."
Jiang Shiqi laughed again.
"If you ever need help, just let me know, no need to stand on ceremony."
After chatting a while longer, Su Chen casually remarked:
"After all, we are neighbors!"
"Hmm!"
Jiang Shiqi nodded slightly, showing a gentle smile!
She smiled more today than she had in the past month!
Previously, she had been somewhat guarded, but today's brief conversation made her feel very relaxed!
Their relationship grew a little more familiar after this exchange!
Of course, it was unrealistic to say they were particularly close yet!
"Alright, I'll head back now."
Su Chen waved with a smile before turning to leave...
Jiang Shiqi watched his departing figure, murmuring to herself that having such a neighbor seemed like a good thing!
...
Upon returning, Su Chen resumed cultivating.
In the following seven or eight days, he spent most of his time in cultivation!
During these days, Yuntong Commerce Guild began selling the human-level pills Su Chen provided!
For now, they were only selling low-grade and middle-grade human-level pills, while the high-grade pills had yet to be introduced!
Despite this, it sparked a whirlwind in Guangping City!
Those who bought and consumed them shared their experiences with acquaintances, creating a ripple effect where ten told a hundred, and a hundred told a thousand!
Suddenly, it wasn't exactly a mass exodus, but certainly a sensational storm across the city!
Yuntong Commerce Guild's staff were overwhelmed with excitement these days, and they even called in reinforcements from neighboring cities to barely manage the workload!
Frankly, An Ruyan expected the outcome to be excellent, but didn't anticipate it would be this extraordinary!
Huo Yongyi, the guild manager, also felt somewhat detached from reality these past few days!
At this moment, An Ruyan decisively raised the prices!
Was this decision by An Ruyan driven by greed?
Only An Ruyan truly understood the deeper meaning, as Huo Yongyi's several suggestions were ignored by her!
She merely told him she had her reasons!
Huo Yongyi found it puzzling, as raising prices seemed to increase profits, but it also shrunk the market since price was a key factor for many consumers!
From this perspective, actual profits would decrease!
How could she overlook such a simple concept?!
But with An Ruyan's significantly higher status in the guild, Huo Yongyi had no choice but to comply!
Despite this, both types of pills still brought substantial profits to Yuntong Commerce Guild!
...
Of course, Su Chen was unaware of all this. Having left the matter in their hands, there was nothing for him to inquire further, and he wasn't particularly interested in these affairs!
He believed that the demoness An Ruyan would handle things beautifully!
