However, as he thought about it, Mo Tiankong suddenly thought of a serious problem. He hadn't received the free item this week.
Luckily, he remembered it today. Otherwise, he would forget about it again. However, Mo Tiankong still felt a little bit of pain.
Every time he remembered it, it was when the rich people bought it. Why didn't he remember it yesterday? Otherwise, he could have just received the transmission array and sold it to Yan Xiu.
He was getting old and his memory was getting worse. Sigh, how sad.
What was good to receive this week? Mo Tiankong thought.
He probably couldn't sell the Inheritance Orb in a short time. He still had a chance to use the one he received last time.
However, after the royal family bought it this time, all the cities would probably react. The speed of the news would probably increase. He should get a transmission array.
He should be able to sell it during this time. After making the decision, Mo Tiankong started to act.
"System, the free item this week is a small transmission array," Mo Tiankong said directly.
"Send to backpack," the System replied quickly.
Mo Tiankong opened his backpack and looked. There was indeed a small transmission array. He finally received it this week. He didn't forget about it.
He felt better. As long as someone bought it, he could sell it. 100,000 Spirit Stones.
The balance was still increasing every week. This was the happiest thing for Mo Tiankong. After all, there was still a difference between his money and the turnover.
Mo Tiankong was thinking, but the System sounded out at an untimely time.
"Ding, because the Prodigy Ranking Competition is about to start, the grocery store has started a half-price sale. The half-price items are Wangzai small steamed buns, Wangzai QQ candy, Wangzai milk, Thousand Island Lake beer, Hanxue Horse card, and Tang Sword. The event will last for three days starting from tomorrow. 10,000 items will be sold in total. The reward will be a random draw. There will be no punishment for mission failure."
Mo Tiankong was stunned for a moment. Then, he opened the mission and looked at it.
After the date of the Prodigy Ranking was confirmed, the System also sent him a side quest. Just like the sea monster riot, the garrison also knew the approximate time. Therefore, after the System learned about it on its own, it set the time for the Tang Sword event.
However, the Prodigy Ranking Competition obviously had a schedule. The System only triggered the side quest after the official announcement.
According to Mo Tiankong's plan, if every participant from the Aquamarine Empire had a Ferghana horse, the Genius List would be ruined.
This half-price event came at the right time. Although the System started the event according to the start time of the competition in Outpost Town, which was a little unfair to other cities that didn't know about the grocery store, there were still many places on the continent that didn't know about the grocery store.
Sentry Town was also where the grocery store was located. It had a very high reputation, and a large number of warriors had bought it. Naturally, it was based on the starting time of the Sentry Town Tournament.
"Why aren't there any Inheritance Pearls?" However, Mo Tiankong's first reaction was that there was no half-price event for the items on the third shelf. Why?
"Host, is your brain made of paste? Can the Treasure Hunting Compass teleportation array increase one's strength or something?" the System said bluntly.
"Why can't the Treasure Hunting Compass increase one's strength? If I find some rare treasure, won't I be able to increase my strength in minutes? Also, you seem to have forgotten about the Inheritance Pearls, right? What do you mean?" Mo Tiankong couldn't take this lying down. He even found a loophole in the System. Why didn't the System mention the Inheritance Pearls?
"The cost of the Inheritance Pearls is relatively high," the System said calmly.
As for the Treasure Hunting Compass that Mo Tiankong mentioned, the System couldn't be bothered to argue. Let a group of martial masters or even warriors use the compass to search. Putting aside whether they would die or not, the periphery of the Antelope Mountain Range was already clean enough. As for the middle section, did you know how the word 'death' was written?
In terms of practicality, the teleportation array was definitely better. Naturally, there was a reason why the System set the price of the Inheritance Pearls higher. After using the Inheritance Pearls, one would be able to achieve small success in martial arts. This wasn't simple.
Unless the sales reached the requirements, the System wouldn't easily sell it at half-price.
The teleportation array pattern could be copied and pasted. There wasn't much skill involved, so it was very simple for the System.
Moreover, this mission wasn't very friendly to Mo Tiankong. The Zhang and Tang family had already purchased the Inheritance Pearls this week, and Yan Xiu had also purchased the Inheritance Pearls. Most importantly, Wangzai's half-price day had just ended yesterday.
Now that there was a side mission, Mo Tiankong wanted to cry. During this period of time, he had used up these warriors' Spirit Stones. Moreover, the side mission required 10,000 items. Wait a minute, did the 10,000 items mean that all the items had to be sold?
"System, is the 10,000 items sold a total of six items added together?" Mo Tiankong hurriedly asked. After all, this was a side mission, and the reward was a random lottery. He still had to work hard.
"Yes." The System's answer this time made Mo Tiankong feel more at ease.
However, thinking about it gave him a headache. If this mission had been given a day earlier, he wouldn't have used Wangzai's half-price day. Otherwise, Wangzai alone might have been able to complete the mission.
How could the System allow Mo Tiankong to complete the mission so easily? If Mo Tiankong hadn't used Wangzai's half-price day, he would probably have sold 100,000 items by now.
Every side mission seemed simple, but it was actually more difficult. Mo Tiankong could only say that he was lucky to be able to complete it.
The first time was the half-price Tang Sword during the sea monster's riot. Other than the Zhang and Tang family, the other two families, the garrison, and other forces were not familiar with the shop. Even if they wanted to buy, they could only go to the Multi-Treasure Pavilion and other shops to buy in bulk. It could only be said that it was a coincidence.
The second side mission was the reward for the expansion of the shop's space. There were still three days left, and the turnover was still lacking. It was all due to luck that he was able to complete it. Also, Mo Tiankong took advantage of the loophole previously. Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the one million turnover in three days.
This time was also the first time. During this period, the shop's sales had skyrocketed. There was no purchase limit, and Wangzai's half-price day. It had already used up a lot of potential customers' Spirit Stones. It was not easy to complete the sales of 10,000 items.
"Maybe …" Mo Tiankong shook off the thought in his mind. He still had to work hard first.
After all, there were still many new and old customers coming to the shop every day. To be honest, the shop's sales were not bad. However, it was still a little difficult to complete the sales. The main thing was that he only had three days.
Mo Tiankong thought about how to advertise. After thinking for a while, he took out the long-lost advertisement board.
He wrote quickly, frowning from time to time as he thought about it.
Writing an advertisement was also a skill. It had to be easy to understand, and it had to highlight the main points.
"The start of the Prodigy Roll is imminent. The grocery store will help all martial artists to leave their names on the Prodigy Roll and become famous throughout the continent. We hereby open a half-price event. The half-price items for this event are Wangzai Steamed Bun, Wangzai QQ Candy, Wangzai milk, Thousand Island Lake Beer, Ferghana Horse Card, Tang Dynasty Sword, and six other items. The event will last from Wednesday to Friday.
Mo Tiankong looked at it and raised his eyebrows. It was written very well. There were no mistakes. It could be said to be perfect.
The finishing touch was to pass the message to each other. If he did not pass the message, how would he be able to gather 10,000 sales? Would he still be able to happily draw the lottery?
Speaking of the lottery, it had been a long time since he had drawn one. Mo Tiankong was a little itchy. The System's storage was full of divine weapons, and there were also powerful characters. No matter what, he had to draw some and make it his own.
Anyway, the System was just there. It was useless. However, there were no chances for him to draw the lottery.
After writing the advertisement board, Mo Tiankong also got up and walked out of the store. As usual, it was better to put it at the door. There would be more martial artists who would see it. Some passersby would see it and advertise it.
Seeing Mo Tiankong carry the small blackboard out of the store, the martial artists in the hall also went out to take a look.
Patting the chalk dust off his hands, he was about to turn around and return to the store when he was stopped.
"Store Manager Mo, why didn't you say that there was an event in the store earlier?" a martial artist passing by said with a bit of bitterness.
The grocery store had been running a series of events in the past few days. The Spirit Stones that they originally had were almost used up. Now, there was another half-price sale.
The key was that the original price of these Ferghana Horse Card, Thousand Island Lake Beer, and so on were a little expensive. If they were half-price, they could still buy one or two items.
"I also just got the news of the Prodigy List. That's why I decided to give everyone a discount." Mo Tiankong could not say anything. He could only say this.
I also wanted to say it earlier. The key was that the System always triggered a side quest. I was also very helpless. If things went wrong, the side quest this time would fail.
Fortunately, if the side quest failed, there would be no reward. However, there would be no punishment. This was still acceptable.
The side quest was more like obtaining it based on one's ability. If it was completed, there would be a reward. If it was not completed, there would be no punishment. The goal of the side quest was not to punish Mo Tiankong, but to give the martial artists some benefits.
"Hey, why are you all leaving?" A group of martial artists came out of the store and quietly left. Did they want to wait until tomorrow to buy again?
"Store Manager Mo, there's an emergency at home. We'll come back tomorrow."
"Store Manager Mo, don't worry. We'll inform our friends and relatives. We'll come back tomorrow."
Some of the martial artists said one after another and then slipped away.
They saw that most of the items in the grocery store would be half price tomorrow. Only an idiot would buy today. They could buy two sets of items tomorrow.
Mo Tiankong looked at this group of people, a little amused. If they wanted to buy tomorrow, then buy tomorrow.
"Everyone, please tell each other that the event will only last for three days. After that, the price will return to the original," Mo Tiankong said to the crowd again. Then, he walked back into the store.
"System, will the sales from this event be included in the store's sales?" Mo Tiankong also remembered that the sales from the Tang Sword event were not included.
"The side quest has a separate reward. The number of transactions and sales from this event are not included in the total sales," the System replied.
Hearing this, Mo Tiankong gave up. He knew that the System was so stingy that it did not include the sales from last time. It was the same this time.
This was also equivalent to a punishment. If he did not complete the event, he would have worked for nothing. However, Mo Tiankong did not care now. The store's experience should have met the requirements to level up. However, if he did not have enough reputation, he would not be able to level up.
