VCRMM: Chapter 371

In addition to serving as the chief administrator, Wen Jishan also took on part-time responsibility for the management of the Food City. After getting inspiration from Li Zhecheng’s complaints, his mind became active.

He could now access the Star Network as well.

According to his investigation, beauty was undoubtedly one of the most prosperous industries in the universe.

Everyone loved beauty, not just women but also men. This was especially the case in countries with developed entertainment industries, where there was a huge market for beauty.

This was actually an area he wasn’t familiar with.

The Roland Empire wasn’t like other interstellar nations. This empire had stood up again from suffering and was destined to not have many resources to use for enjoyment.

In fact, the initial guess of the Interstellar Alliance’s delegation was right. If it wasn’t for the braves, the Roland Empire wouldn’t have so many delicious dishes.

However, as long as he could make money, Wen Jishan was willing to spend time and effort on research.

He previously hadn’t associated beauty with elementalists. Now that he thought about it, he immediately set out to verify it.

Could water healing be applied in the beauty industry?

As long as it proved useful, countless related projects could be developed and huge profits achieved!

Of course, it was impossible for Wen Jishan to occupy the resources of the Imperial Research Institute out of a momentary whim.

What those bigshots were researching were all high-tech products that could change the entire Roland Empire. It was best not to bother them for things like beauty.

Moreover, compared to the Imperial Research Institute, perhaps the Elementalist Academy was most suitable. But apart from these two, he undoubtedly had a more suitable option.

In today’s Roland, who could be more hardworking and conscientious than the braves?

They didn’t even need much compensation. They were willing to do anything as long as their interest was aroused. They were undoubtedly the most cost-effective tools.

But forget about confidentiality.

As long as one brave knew about it, this meant countless braves would know about this. The characteristic of the braves to share what they had with each other was sometimes really confusing.

Wen Jishan hesitated for a moment before deciding to ask a brave for help.

In any case, it was absolutely impossible for Roland to operate exclusively.

The number of water healers among the braves was much greater than the local elementalists. According to the nature of the braves, any attempts to keep secrets would instead arouse their desire to explore.

Not only would it be impossible to keep the secret, but it would also scare the guests from outer space.

Wen Jishan had a headache when thinking of that scene.

Therefore, the best way was to allow the braves to make money together. Then Roland would officially formulate industry rules to restrict them, and collect rent and taxes to gain profits.

After such a long period of getting along and testing each other, Wen Jishan had already developed a way to deal with the braves.

Take taxes as an example. The proportion collected was definitely a heavy tax for the residents, but the braves still enjoyed it.

As long as the big shops in a main city had a quota, the braves would definitely fight for them.

Wen Jishan was thinking about a series of follow-up measures and soon found a water-related brave in his address book.

This was the terrifying thing about braves.

There was no one who didn’t know water healing as long as they were a water spiritual elementalist. Their top-notch talent that allowed them to learn immediately was really enviable.

Then Wen Jishan found another woman to help.

He originally wanted to find Janice, but she was a water warrior and the effect might not be obvious. Thus, he went to find Princess Silin.

Due to winter getting colder and the conditions on the front lines being too difficult, His Majesty had called back the troops and the princess had some free time.

Nevertheless, Silin couldn’t sit still.

She originally wanted to join the city guards and take on the responsibility of guarding Imperial City like she did when she was young.

However, things were different now. As the eldest princess of the empire, Silin would attract countless players every time she appeared in public. Some wanted to take photos and more wanted to get a hidden mission from her.

So let alone patrolling, traffic ended up being paralyzed twice.

In the end, there was no other way. Under Xu Sili’s assignment, she had to come to Wen Jishan reluctantly.

Nominally, her mission was to supervise Wen Jishan’s work. But in reality, she was with him to learn how to start a new life with a normal mentality and establish a new social network.

Silin had stayed in the wild too long. Even after returning, she kept going to the front lines to fight.

Xenos was worried that if she continued like this, she would completely lose the ability to survive in civilized society and might even suffer from war-induced traumatic stress disorder.

Thanks to Xenos’ reminder, Xu Sili also noticed this.

Indeed, after returning, Silin seldom stayed in Imperial City. She would come back a few days whenever something happened. Then she couldn’t wait to return to the front line.

He didn’t object to Silin making achievements and developing her career, but he also hoped she would be happy while working hard.

The land of Escher Star would be recovered sooner or later. It was indeed worrying if Silin couldn’t adapt to life after the war was completely over.

Thus, now was the time to prepare for the future.

After a heart-to-heart talk, Silin understood their good intentions and accepted Xu Sili’s arrangement.

However, she really couldn’t adapt to a peaceful and stable living environment. In the beginning, she was like a frightened bird that overreacted at the slightest disturbance. It meant this period of time was very painful.

Wen Jishan also wore a mask of pain.

What merits and abilities did he have to be entrusted with such an important task?

However, Silin didn’t have the airs of a princess. So after the initial adjustment, the two slowly found a suitable way to get along with each other.

These days, Silin was busy in the Food City, trying to integrate into ordinary daily life and find things she liked to do.

Now, Wen Jishan thought of her when talking about beauty projects.

He found Princess Silin sitting on a tower in the Food City, basking in the sun.

The bright sun shone on her, making her look lazy. She wasn’t as tense as she was in the beginning.

Wen Jishan’s communication with her also seemed a bit casual.

Upon hearing Wen Jishan’s purpose, Silin’s purple eyes, which were very similar to the former emperor, narrowed dangerously.

She glanced at him and asked coldly, “Wen Jishan, do you mean that I am ugly?”

“……”

Wen Jishan was stunned for a moment before he started sweating.

As a princess, Silin naturally couldn’t be ugly.

Still, no matter how good her foundation, it was impossible to withstand the four years of sleeping in open air and more than a year of fighting on the front lines.

Her skin was dark and rough, she had some obvious eye bags due to long-term poor sleep, and some chapped lips due to the cold wind…

Of course, there were just minor things.

Silin’s unique temperament and wild beauty were still very attractive.

“I’m not! I didn’t! Your Highness, you misunderstood!”

Wen Jishan quickly realized the mistake he had made. After denying it three times, he prepared to say goodbye and leave to find a safer candidate.

After all, Her Highness Silin was a powerful elementalist. He must’ve really not wanted to live long to come to her.

Watching Wen Jishan turn around and leave in shame, Silin thought about it before calling out to him just as he was about to step down the city tower.

“Your Highness?”

Wen Jishan turned around and looked at her, green eyes behind the lens flashing with a hint of suspicion.

Silin shrugged, stood up lazily, controlled the wind element to blow away the dust on her body and said, “Let’s try it. It seems interesting.”

Then she flew to Wen Jishan. She grabbed his collar before he could run and flew out of the city tower together.

“Your Highness, I can go on my own!”

“It is faster this way.”

Once he finally landed on the ground, Wen Jishan almost couldn’t stand still.

The princess actually lifted him by the collar and walked around the Food City for a long time before coming down.

He could only be thankful that his clothes were of good quality and didn’t fall off midway.

The player contacted by Wen Jishan had been waiting at the agreed location for a long time.

Due to the special nature of the mission, he specially found a female brave who was a water healer as well as a pharmacist.

Simply put, this was a life player and her game ID was Keai Duoyuoduo.

The moment she saw Wen Jishan appear with Silin, her eyes lit up and she rushed forward to take a photo with Silin.

Silin was quite popular, and this heroic princess attracted many girls.

“Little Keai, thank you for your help.”

Wen Jishan interrupted More and More Cute’s star-chasing behavior and reminded her.

“Oh, is Princess Silin injured?” Keai Duoyuoduo looked at Silin and asked curiously.

“Just an experiment,” Wen Jishan replied.

Keai Duoyuoduo nodded again. Then she performed the water healing technique on Silin’s face according to the mission requirements.

The soft light of the water healing technique appeared quietly.

Silin closed her eyes and felt it. She was no stranger to water healing. During her four years in the wild, she was often injured and needed Xenos’s help in treatment.

However, she had never tried to use the water healing technique directly on her face for the purpose of beauty like she was doing now.

Once the water healing technique was over, she opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. She found that there were indeed some changes on her face.

Her originally rough skin had become much smoother. The bags under her eyes and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes had faded a lot.

Overall, the changes weren’t particularly large but the effect was still there.

Wen Jishan was very happy, and Keai Duoyuoduo also found it very novel.

The players’ appearance remained unchanged. Even though they had different features in certain states, they would return to their original appearance once the negative state was cleared.

As a girl, she certainly understood the charm of cosmetic surgery.

So even without Wen Jishan saying anything, she continued to use the water healing technique to experiment on Silin’s face.

After around 40 water healing sessions, Silin’s face underwent obvious changes.

She saw that her originally rough skin had become delicate and smooth. The fine lines and bags under her eyes disappeared, and she became several shades whiter!

Silin was stunned when she saw herself in the mirror.

The traces of time left on her face had been washed away by the water healing technique. In a trance, she seemed to see her past self again, the young and naive Princess Silin who was loved by her father and brother.

Wen Jishan couldn’t help sighing.

One course of treatment required 40-50 water healing techniques. This beauty project could probably only be done by the braves.

An ordinary local elementalist would be exhausted after casting ten water healing spells.

“Hey, why can’t I get rid of these spots?”

Keai Duoyuoduo wasn’t very satisfied. After Silin became white, the sun spots originally hidden by her skin color had become visible. They were harmless, but it still wasn’t perfect.

Then she quickly thought of light healing.

Since water healing could beautify the skin, what about light healing? Light healing could cure diseases, so could it grow hair?
