Mo Tiankong didn't go downstairs immediately. Instead, he went to change his clothes first. He went out in a white robe, and then changed into a set of martial artist clothes. Finally, Mo Tiankong changed back into big pants and short sleeves. It was still comfortable to wear like this.
Looking at the season, it should be winter. He could still feel the change in temperature. However, because warriors had strong physiques, most people were still wearing warrior suits. It didn't affect them much.
Mo Tiankong wouldn't feel cold even if he was naked. However, he still had to wear something. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel embarrassed. As an Earthling, he still had some sense of shame.
He walked downstairs with his flip-flops. Auspicious also jumped down with him. It was rare to have a day off, so he had to make good use of it.
He took out the barbecue grill from the kitchen cabinet and set it up in the yard. He took out the Universal Condiment Box and then chose the ingredients.
The bear paws were a must. He had tried other ways to eat them. He only needed to roast them. There were only two left. This time, he would eat them all at once. Anyway, with Auspicious around, he could eat as much as he wanted.
After eating it a few times, Mo Tiankong also wanted to change his taste. He took out some seafood and shellfish. As for the other meat, he didn't want to eat pork. It wasn't as delicious when roasted.
Although streaky pork was delicious, there was too much meat. However, he couldn't find any vegetables. He had to make do with it. After all, they were all carnivores.
Soon, all the ingredients were on the grill. Mo Tiankong bought a box of Thousand Island Lake Beer. If he couldn't finish it, he could drink it next time. There wasn't much anyway.
There were twelve bottles in a box, which meant that it would cost six thousand spirit stones. However, things were different now. Six thousand spirit stones was really a small amount of money. After all, he was sitting on a net worth of three hundred thousand spirit stones.
After brushing some oil and sprinkling some spices, Mo Tiankong opened the bottle of beer and ate happily.
The feeling of drinking and eating meat was very satisfying. As for Auspicious, she was chewing on the side.
"Yo, you want to drink?" Auspicious chewed and looked at the bottle Mo Tiankong was holding. She scratched the box on the ground but couldn't take it out.
"Owww …" Auspicious roared a few times and stared at Mo Tiankong.
Grandpa Mo thought for a moment and took out a bottle for Auspicious. Then, he opened the cap and took out a big bowl and poured the contents into it.
Seeing this, Auspicious immediately stuck out his tongue and licked it. He got a bear paw and then took a sip of Thousand Island Lake beer.
The two of them gorged themselves on food and drink. In the end, Mo Tiankong and Ji Xiang nearly finished the entire crate of beer. Mo Tiankong drank five bottles and Ji Xiang drank three. Only four bottles remained.
When he came back to his senses, Mo Tiankong's heart ached. They had spent four thousand Spirit Stones, and this didn't include the ingredients. The bear paw of a mid-tier King-tier Demonic Beast was worth more than Spirit Stones. The rest didn't count.
As for letting Auspicious clean up the scene, it was a bit unrealistic. She was already drunk. Although Thousand Island Lake beer could be considered medicine, there was still a degree to it. The exact degree was unknown, but it was much higher than the beer on Earth. However, it was easy to drink and tasted good.
Otherwise, those mercenaries wouldn't have bought it every time. It had a strong aftereffect.
Mo Tiankong looked at Auspicious and put it back into the card space. As for the scene, he would have to clean it up himself.
After cleaning up, Mo Tiankong went upstairs. They still had to open for business tomorrow. Plus, he seemed to have drunk a bit too much. It was better to wash up and sleep.
.....
Monday.
Mo Tiankong woke up feeling refreshed. The Thousand Island Lake beer's increase in Spiritual Power was negligible to him.
After all, he was now a Martial Emperor. The increase in Spiritual Power was almost non-existent in the Thousand Island Lake beer.
He pulled open the curtains and saw that there were many martial artists waiting to open for business. Mo Tiankong quickly washed up and went downstairs.
When he opened the door of the store, cultivators rushed in. After the teleportation arrays of the various cities were connected, the number of cultivators who came increased each time.
However, the space in the store was limited, so they could only come in batches.
After the expansion of the store last time, the store's main hall seemed to not be enough. The number of martial artists entering this time could fill up the store's main hall.
There was a limit to how many people could fit in a 1500 square meter space.
Especially since today was Monday.
Originally, there were still many martial artists' Ferghana horse on the street. However, there were too many people, so they could only put it away.
Mo Tiankong had a headache again. Did he have to chat with the System again to see if he could trigger a side quest?
However, if it was expanded by ten times, it would feel like an underground black market. It would take a while to walk from the beginning to the end.
Ignoring it for now, Mo Tiankong saw Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang walking over.
"Aren't you going to cultivate?" Mo Tiankong teased. Due to the opening of the teleportation array and the speed of the Prodigy List's preliminaries was fast, there was still a lot of time left.
However, were the two of them so free? Others were seizing the time to cultivate in seclusion, hoping to make a breakthrough in their cultivation or martial skills. However, the two of them still came every Monday.
"It's impossible to make a breakthrough in such a short amount of time," Fatty Tang said casually.
Mo Tiankong rolled his eyes. You wandered around every day. It would be strange if you could make a breakthrough without cultivating.
However, it seemed that what he said made sense. Even if he took Wangzai, it would take about a month to break through to Rank 1.
"Store Manager Mo, when can the store put the new items on display?" Zhang Tiannan asked. The main reason was that his cultivation was about to reach the Martial General level. After that, Wangzai would be useless. After experiencing the feeling of rapidly increasing one's cultivation and then slowly cultivating, even someone as persevering as Zhang Tiannan found it a little difficult to accept.
Coincidentally, he asked this question. Mo Tiankong looked at the progress of the main quest. He only needed 3% more reputation points to complete it.
"The store will put the new items on display within a week," Mo Tiankong said.
"Really?" Fatty Tang said in surprise.
The two of them had actually asked about the new items on display many times. Mo Tiankong's questions were always vague, but this time, he actually gave an answer.
"Within a week? Really?" Zhang Tiannan couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Mo Tiankong estimated that with 3% reputation points, he should be able to complete it within a week. The current speed of increasing reputation points was still very fast. Who knew, he might even be able to level up tomorrow.
"Um, Store Manager Mo, can you tell us what new items will be on display?" Fatty Tang raised his eyebrows and smiled as he came over to ask.
Zhang Tiannan, who was standing at the side, also came forward with a face full of anticipation.
Mo Tiankong felt a chill. His fat face wrinkled from smiling. What kind of feeling was this?
"We'll know when the time comes." Mo Tiankong also wanted to know what items would be on display.
The key point was that this was the System's decision. They would only know after the store was upgraded. Right now, Mo Tiankong was in the same situation as the two of them. He had no idea what would be on display.
"Don't. Store Manager Mo can tell us in advance." Fatty Tang's curiosity was completely aroused. Of course, he wanted to know.
Moreover, if there was something good, he could prepare in advance and go to his father to swindle some spirit stones. After all, he had a good excuse of being on the Heaven's Pride List. He could use it however he wanted.
If there was really something that could increase one's strength in a short time or some other secret treasure, the chances of him buying it were quite high.
"Cough, cough. Anyway, there's only a few days left. We'll know when the time comes." Mo Tiankong was very embarrassed. He didn't know. If he could tell them in advance, wouldn't he be able to advertise it earlier?
However, with the current flow of people, there was no need to advertise. Many martial artists came over during business hours every day. It wouldn't take long for the new items to spread.
"Okay." Fatty Tang and Zhang Tiannan both said with slight disappointment.
Mo Tiankong still refused to tell them. The two of them were a little disappointed, but they could still afford to wait for a week.
If there was really something that could increase one's strength, they could still make it to the capital. There was still about half a month's time.
"Speaking of which, why are you two here today?" Mo Tiankong glanced at the martial artists who had already come to pay, then reminded the two of them.
"Isn't it a habit to come here on Monday? It seems like there's nothing to buy," Zhang Tiannan said straightforwardly.
Fatty Tang also thought about it. It seemed to be the case. It was a habit formed over the past few months. In addition, they had been cultivating since the grocery store opened. They would wake up early every day. It was natural for them to come here on Monday morning.
The two of them had bought enough things. They had also bought a lot of things at half price. Wangzai didn't need to buy anything. He couldn't afford expensive things anyway. Therefore, he came over and chatted with Mo Tiankong out of habit.
"…" Mo Tiankong.
To be honest, Mo Tiankong was also used to chatting with the two of them. Although there were many martial artists who came to the store, most of the time they were busy and couldn't chat much. However, the two of them came over when the grocery store just opened. They had interacted a lot, so they could chat freely.
"Store Manager Mo, you're busy. We'll leave first," Fatty Tang said and pulled Zhang Tiannan away.
The store was still relatively busy on Monday. Fatty Tang saw that there were martial artists waiting to pay, so he also pulled Zhang Tiannan away and left.
Mo Tiankong also responded and began to collect the money. While the three of them were chatting, the queue had already formed.
"Sigh, I wonder what new items will be in the store," Zhang Tiannan said as he walked out of the store. He didn't get an answer from Mo Tiankong.
"You'll know when you come over every day. It's this week anyway." Fatty Tang made up his mind to come over every day.
"That's true." Zhang Tiannan thought for a while and agreed.
Then, the two of them took out a Ferghana horse and sat on it. Although their strength was far from reaching the level where they could fly, a Ferghana horse was enough.
The two of them proudly soared into the sky, leaving behind countless envious gazes at the entrance of the store, and flew towards the inner town.
Being able to afford a Ferghana Horse Card was one thing, but being able to cultivate it to this level was another. At the Martial King level, the spirit stones spent were enough to buy four or five Ferghana Horses.
Many martial artists who bought it at half price were also envious. They hadn't even reached the Wuzong level yet. The first few levels didn't cost much spirit stones, but after reaching the Wuzong level and above, the cost would skyrocket.
