At least as long as the system in Ma Feifei's mind existed, there shouldn't be another person in the world who possessed a system.

"Yes, in addition to physical tempering, there are also spiritual tempering and some other special effects. That voice told me all of this," Yun Qingyang said, word by word. However, as she spoke, she looked quite puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand where the voice came from.

"Can you paint scrolls with special effects like these?" Ma Feifei asked thoughtfully. If Yun Qingyang could paint many scrolls with special effects, then he could realize his previous idea of hanging the scrolls all over the walls of the Mysterious Bookstore for readers to appreciate.

"There's a certain probability. After drawing for so long, this is the first time a special effect has appeared," Yun Qingyang replied, frowning.

"No, no, no, you'll have more in the future. I believe in you. So, Qingyang, how about we do some business?" Ma Feifei pulled Yun Qingyang to sit down on the rocking chair, then squatted down in front of her. With a flash of his hand, a spatial bag appeared in his palm.

"Look, there are 100 million Spirit Crystal in this spatial bag. If you can draw ten paintings like this, then all these Spirit Crystal are yours."

Ma Feifei didn't care about spending some Spirit Crystal, as long as Yun Qingyang could draw Martial Arts Diagram with this special effect. This would give the Mysterious Bookstore another way to attract customers, working in tandem with the books on the shelves to dominate the market across the entire Azure Dragon Continent.

"One hundred million!" Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyang's eyes lit up. He stared at the spatial pouch in Ma Feifei's palm, about to reach out and grab it, but before he could touch it, he withdrew his hand and frowned as he looked at Ma Feifei.

"What's wrong?" Ma Feifei asked doubtfully. Is it possible that a painting cannot be bought at a high price of 10 million yuan?

"Why didn't you split the profits with me this time?" Yun Qingyang asked, enunciating each word carefully, her expression serious.

"I..." Ma Feifei opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer her. This is Laozi I bought for my own use, not something I'm going to sell to someone else. What's with the profit sharing?

"That's impossible. There must be something fishy about you not sharing the profits with me. I'm not selling this painting." Yun Qingyang shook his head violently and got up to leave.

"Hey hey hey~~" Ma Feifei grabbed Yun Qingyang's hands and pulled her back, saying with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, let's split it, let's split it. We'll follow the old rules. A painting is worth ten million Spirit Crystal, so we'll split it fifty-fifty, five million each, how about that?"

Since we're going to split the profits, let's just go all out and fleece this stupid dragon, lest it think it's so clever.

Yun Qingyang shook her head, looking at Ma Feifei with an expression that said, "I, Yun Qingyang, have already Detect everything."

"What? Not satisfied with the profit-sharing ratio? Then tell me how you want it to be divided." Ma Feifei simply passed the buck to Yun Qingyang. Anyway, no matter how it was divided, he could save money and make a profit without losing anything, so he wasn't worried at all.

"A 50/50 split is fine, but this painting might not be worth ten million Spirit Crystal, right? Let's split the profits from each painting 50/50." Yun Qingyang closed Ma Feifei's hand, pushed it back, and continued, "One hundred million Spirit Crystal may seem like a lot, but I'm afraid we might lose even more later."

"..."

Ma Feifei gave Yun Qingyang a deep look and said earnestly, "Ergouzi, you've changed."

"What do you mean?" Yun Qingyang looked completely bewildered.

"You've become smarter," Ma Feifei said with a touch of emotion, then silently put the spatial bag into her spatial ring.

"Hehe, no way! I always get fooled by you. If I don't learn to be more careful, who knows when you'll sell me out." Yun Qingyang was very happy to Foresight Ma Feifei's little scheme. She leaned back comfortably in the rocking chair and looked at Ma Feifei's miserable face, becoming happier and happier the more she looked.

"Alright, let's settle on this then. No one-time buyout, let's choose a revenue-sharing partnership, but..." Ma Feifei said, then suddenly seemed to remember something, ran into the Bookstore to get paper and pen, Trailblaze a brief contract.

The contract stipulated that Yun Qingyang would create the paintings, and Ma Feifei would take any paintings with special effects and operate them, with the profits split 50/50 between the two.

It seems like there's nothing wrong at first glance, but there's another sentence at the very bottom.

Profit sharing involves risks, and both parties must abide by the spirit of the contract, without breach or seeking repercussions later.

Contract start date: November 4th, 351st year of the Great Chu Dynasty.

"I'm not that kind of person!" Yun Qingyang replied confidently after seeing this sentence, and then wrote her name on it.

"Hehe..." Ma Feifei smiled without saying a word. Don't you know what kind of person you are? It's not even certain whether this contract will make you behave.

"Here! Sign it." Yun Qingyang wrote her name and handed the contract and pen to Ma Feifei.

However, having come this far, Ma Feifei had no way out but to take the paper and pen and sign his name at the end.

"Wait for me a moment, I'm going to my room." As soon as Yun Qingyang saw Ma Feifei sign her name, she jumped up and ran towards her room.

"Where are you going?" Ma Feifei asked from behind.

"I also painted two special effects paintings that are hanging on the wall. Go get them for you." Yun Qingyang's voice came as she entered the room.

"Damn it, this stupid dragon is getting more and more cunning." Ma Feifei almost vomited blood from Yun Qingyang's words. Just now when he asked her, she said this was the first one, but after the contract was signed, there were two more. Wasn't she just playing him for a fool?!

Yun Qingyang dashed out of the room again, carrying two scrolls in her arms. She walked up to Ma Feifei and handed them to him, saying, "Here you go!"

"Any more?" Ma Feifei took the scroll, flipped it open, and asked.

"It's really gone this time," Yun Qingyang replied, shaking his head.

"Alright, hurry up and finish your painting. I'll hang these up first." Ma Feifei didn't bother arguing with Yun Qingyang. After all, he had tricked Yun Qingyang quite badly this time, and if things were exposed, it would be a question whether he could survive. So he didn't dare to cause her any more trouble.

"Okay, I'll go draw it right away. My drawing skills have improved now. I can finish a painting in three days a day, and about one out of every five paintings will have a special effect. It'll be quick." Yun Qingyang proudly showed off her abilities.

However, Ma Feifei was no longer in the mood to pay attention to her, waved her hand, and walked straight into the Bookstore.

Of course, on the other hand, he didn't dare to stay any longer, because Ma Feifei was afraid that his conscience would bother him and he would laugh out loud, which would be embarrassing.
