The Life of a Cattle Broker in the Tang Dynasty [JX3]

Lu Wujue firmly believes that a good scalper should be able to spot business opportunities in everyday life. Anything can be resold.

For instance, he could sell herbs that failed to grow properly in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers to the Tiance Army as premium horse feed; sell discarded Peacock Feathers from the Tang Clan to his fellow members of the Ming Cult as the latest cat teaser toys; or chop up some scraps from the Five Immortals Sect's Immortal King Gu cauldron, mix them together, and sell them to the Seven Elegance Sect as a beauty-enhancing, dampness-removing hot pot.

Ever since he got a cross-world convenience store System, Lu Wujue's business has spanned ancient and modern times, from China to abroad. His latest achievement was introducing a big shot from the Changge Sect to a graduate student in Chinese literature who was so engrossed in reading novels that he had forgotten what day it was, let alone his deadline.

Lu Wujue: Ghostwriting for dissertations, quality guaranteed. Our ghostwriter has even been published in an extremely influential journal.

Customer: Oh, that sounds great. Can I ask which journal this professor has published in, which quartile it's in, and what its impact factor is?

Lu Wujue: Don't ask so many questions. Textbooks count as publications. Just get it published.

Customer: ???

Lu Wujue: (Sends a high-resolution close-up photo of Li Bai.)

Customer: ??? You fiend! Who did you hire to ghostwrite for me? Am I even worthy of this?!
