"When Store Manager Mo opens the sect, please come and support us," Yu Xiuyuan finally reminded Mo Tiankong.
This was because he had mentioned it once in the Grand Canyon, and Mo Tiankong had agreed at that time.
However, who knew that this guy would act so quickly? At that time, Mo Tiankong thought that it was still very early, but he didn't expect that at this rate, it would probably be soon.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't go out during business hours. The System had specifically added that he couldn't go out.
It was the kind that wouldn't work even if he had money, so now Mo Tiankong was a little hurt.
"Ahem, the store is open for six days, and we only have a break on Sunday," Mo Tiankong said very tactfully.
They couldn't have an opening ceremony after 10 o 'clock at night, right? They couldn't do it during the day, but they weren't open on Sunday. If it was on Sunday, they could still go.
"Uh, Sunday. Store Manager Mo, I'll take my leave first," Yu Xiuyuan said after thinking for a while.
The grocery store's reputation in Sentry Town was very high. The reason why Yu Xiuyuan wanted to remind him was mainly because he thought that if the store manager of the grocery store came to attend the opening ceremony of the Lieyang Sect, the credibility of the sect would also be higher.
Mo Tiankong was confused. The conversation between the two of them was very vague and tactful, but only God knew what they were thinking.
After watching Yu Xiuyuan leave, Mo Tiankong scratched his head and didn't think about it anymore.
At most, it would be on Sunday. If he was invited, he would go. After all, he had already agreed.
As a businessman, Mo Tiankong's awareness was still very high. Integrity was still very important.
.....
Saturday.
Today, Mo Tiankong heard good news in the store. That was, all 34 cities in the Aquamarine Empire had been set up with teleportation portals.
In other words, the empire's teleportation route was smooth, although it was only set up in some of the closer cities.
For example, Qingzhou City, which was slightly further away, only had a teleportation array connected to the nearest city, and not many other cities.
Due to the distance, it would take some time for the cities to communicate.
Some cities might require two or even more teleportation arrays to reach. The journey in between required manpower.
Currently, it was very simple. The cities were connected like this, and there weren't many cities and towns.
Upon hearing this news, Mo Tiankong hurriedly opened his interface. However, his reputation with the Aquamarine Empire was still at 41%, not reaching 50%.
No wonder the System did not notify him of the completion of the quest. Mo Tiankong found it strange.
However, this progress had already exceeded Mo Tiankong's expectations. The Main Quest was supposed to be completed within half a year, and only a month had passed.
Of course, Mo Tiankong had only just connected, but he believed that the quest would be completed soon. It should be completed in a few weeks at most.
This week, Mo Tiankong checked his reputation once. At that time, it was at 35%. In a few days, it had increased by 6%.
In the Aquamarine Empire's territory, there were many warriors and ordinary people. The 50% limit of reputation was very high.
One had to know about the grocery store and know that only an item sold in the store could be counted as Reputation Points.
However, he was not in a hurry. It was inevitable that the quest would be completed smoothly. After all, it had been brought forward for a long time. With the remaining 9% of reputation, even if it increased by 0.1% per day, it would be enough to complete the quest within the time limit.
Mo Tiankong was looking forward to it, but he was also a little nervous. The Main Quest this time was the longest, and the difficulty was not low. If it wasn't for the teleportation array, Mo Tiankong did not know how to complete it.
Then what about the next Main Quest? Mo Tiankong was also nervous about this point.
He was afraid that the System would give him a nightmare difficulty. If that happened, he would be done for. Moreover, the punishment for not completing it was quite severe.
Now, Mo Tiankong's cultivation would drop by one rank, which was the entire cultivation level of the Martial King Realm. Moreover, the System usually dropped one rank at a time. This was a little bit of a loss.
Moreover, it was not necessarily a drop in cultivation level. Any kind of punishment was possible.
After the teleportation array was connected, the benefits were also obvious. A large number of warriors from various cities and towns in the empire poured into Sentry Town.
It was not only the grocery store that was profitable. The restaurants, brothels, and various shops in the town were all overcrowded.
Moreover, many warriors had also bought land or set up a station here. Many warriors from businesses had already settled in. To put it bluntly, the commercial value of Sentry Town had sharply increased.
The center of all this was naturally the grocery store. Mo Tiankong would sometimes walk out of the store to take a look. Sentry Town had changed a lot.
In the beginning, the area of Haikou Street was filled with elixir stores and weapon manuals. However, after the opening of the grocery store, the impact on the surrounding area was too great. Later on, most of the businesses changed.
A row of streets were turned into restaurants and teahouses. Then, the teleportation array from the Imperial Capital to Sentry Town was set up. Many warriors poured into Sentry Town.
Until now, many restaurants and teahouses had been bought by warriors at high prices. Mo Tiankong did not know whether these shop owners were short-sighted or did not think of this.
Of course, there were also some who were sensitive and refused to sell. Just like the teahouse across the street, it was still open.
Every day, it was full of warriors. There were many tables and chairs set up at the entrance facing the street. It was obvious that business was good.
As for the reason, the grocery store was one of the reasons. After all, things like Wangzai, which needed to be bought often, were not limited now. It was better. In the past, they had to wait every day.
However, even if the purchase was not limited, they still needed Spirit Stones. Therefore, many warriors decided to take root in Sentry Town and move here. They joined the army or became independent warriors. When they had nothing to do, they would take on mercenary missions.
After experiencing Wangzai's rapid improvement in cultivation, how could they bear to use elixirs to slowly improve?
Therefore, the price of land in Sentry Town was getting higher and higher. In the beginning, some warriors had moved here. In addition, various large businesses had settled in the town. Many forces, such as the royal family, had also set up strongholds here.
Many warriors had also followed the trend. Some warriors had also come for the half-price event of the shops. They could save a lot of Spirit Stones. They wanted to get the news as soon as possible.
There was also a scale of trade. After the businesses settled in, they naturally had specialties from all over the place. Some heavenly treasures and rarer items were circulated. The scale of the market was also getting bigger and bigger. The auction items were also getting more and more high-end.
Now, it had become the most prosperous town other than the Imperial Capital. Moreover, the difference was that the land in the Imperial Capital was much more expensive than Sentry Town.
All kinds of reasons were combined to bring about the current situation of Sentry Town.
Mo Tiankong stood at the door of the shop and patted his head. Sigh, why didn't he think of it earlier? Now that he had Spirit Stones, he could buy more shops on the side. How much could he make by selling them now?
Yes, Mo Tiankong also did not think of this problem. He was embarrassed to say that he had transmigrated from Earth. How could he not know how to deal with real estate?
This kind of situation was also predictable. He could have bought some shops in advance and waited for them to sell now. How good would that have been?
Mo Tiankong covered his heart with one hand. Although his body was as strong as an ox, his heart was in pain. A lot of Spirit Stones were gone.
Sigh, it was too late to say anything now. Looking at the warriors on the street and the changes in Haikou Street, the streets and alleys were full of stalls.
Although stalls were not allowed on the street, the places in the alleys that had land were full.
Places like the market were controlled by the four major families. Setting up stalls in the market had to pay a booth fee. It could be considered a stable income for the four major families.
After all, it was stipulated that stalls were not allowed on the street. If one wanted to survive in Sentry Town, they still had to abide by the rules. Unless one could arm-wrestle with the four major families, then one could ignore these rules.
However, if one could arm-wrestle with the four major families, they would not do so.
Moreover, the location of the market was in the center of Sentry Town. The space was limited. In the current situation of Sentry Town, even if one wanted to spend money to rent a stall, there was no chance. The market was already close to saturation.
With so many warriors, there would definitely be things that were useless or needed to be exchanged for other items. If there was no market, then they could only set up stalls in the alleys.
Haikou Street, which was close to the coastal defense line, was full of stalls. One could imagine the situation in Sentry Town now.
The increase in warriors was not only a problem, but also a bad problem.
With a large number of warriors pouring in, public security became very important. There were all kinds of warriors. Naturally, many warriors committed crimes. The Yeh family did not have enough manpower.
Moreover, these warriors had varying cultivation levels. The warriors sent out now needed to be led by Martial Kings. The Yeh family was also very busy.
They even borrowed warriors from the other families. The three families also sent out a lot of warriors to maintain the peace in the town.
After all, there was a relationship of interest. The shops, including the market, really messed up Sentry Town. The other three families would also be affected.
Therefore, even if they were competing, they were now working together to face the outside world.
However, if this continued, would Sentry Town be able to accommodate so many warriors? Although most of them left after buying, even if only one in ten thousand stayed, it was still a lot.
After all, the number of warriors entering the grocery store was constantly increasing. Sentry Town was now at full capacity. There were many warriors walking on the streets.
Of course, Mo Tiankong did not need to worry about this. Naturally, the Yeh family would worry about it.
However, Mo Tiankong suddenly remembered that there was only one teleportation array in Sentry Town. It was connected to other cities and towns. The Yeh family earned a lot of money just from the teleportation fees alone.
Even the Imperial Capital did not have such a large flow of people.
This was purely Mo Tiankong thinking too much. With the population of the Imperial Capital, the number of times a teleportation array was used every day could be more than the number of times to and from Sentry Town. Otherwise, they would not have looked down on the teleportation arrays of various cities.
There was no need. Eating meat had to leave some soup for others. Being stingy was a tyrant.
