The reason for building a city was also because of the population of Sentry Town. There was no shortage of people. After building a city wall to enclose the land, the land could be reused.
This included planning the streets of the city and many other things. Because Sentry Town had already been finalized, it could only be carried out on this foundation. If the entire town was demolished and rebuilt, it would consume too many resources, and they would not be able to afford it.
Then there was the army. Although it was called the army, it was mainly responsible for the safety and order in the city. There would not be too many people, limited to 10,000 people. However, it was also a public office, and the treatment was not bad.
In short, it was obvious that it would be very troublesome. However, these things would be left to the two families to worry about. It was not Mo Tiankong's turn to worry about it.
After the city was built, the 500 miles of land that was originally designated would be used. The population would skyrocket, and the business of the grocery store would be better.
Of course, the business after the city was built might not be much better than it was now. Currently, there were still a large number of warriors from various cities coming to the store every day. At most, the capacity would increase.
Moreover, if Mo Tiankong wanted to quickly increase his cultivation, it was unrealistic to rely on warriors in a city. This required a huge population base. It was obvious that the current Aquamarine Empire could not meet Mo Tiankong's needs to increase his cultivation.
After the Martial Emperor Realm, the speed of cultivation improvement was also much slower than before. This meant that he still had to find a way to complete the main mission as soon as possible in order to increase his cultivation like before.
"Alright, you two can do whatever you need to do." Mo Tiankong expressed that he understood. The two of them had directly cut the line to chat.
The warriors behind them were still waiting in line. However, the news of the Zhang family's banquet and Lord Zhang's advancement to the Venerable Realm had been spread in Sentry Town for a few days. The warriors behind them had no objections to the two of them cutting the line.
The Zhang family was also in the limelight now. When the imperial family's official announcement was made, they would reach a peak.
"Store Manager Mo, um, give me a few lottery tickets," Fatty Tang hurriedly said when he saw the situation. Although he did not need to buy anything in the store, he had to buy lottery tickets.
"Line up," Mo Tiankong said, and then shouted for the warriors behind him to come over.
The two of them had no choice but to line up obediently. With their status in Sentry Town, the only person who dared to treat them like this was Mo Tiankong. Most importantly, he didn't have a temper.
At noon, Kuang Tie arrived. Compared to the last time he was here, his cultivation had increased by one level. He was now a rank four Martial General.
Kuang Tie was much more powerful than Fatty Tang and Zhang Tiannan. Since he was a Martial Master, he had been traveling with the mercenary group. Battles were of great help to one's cultivation and martial skills. Even a life and death battle was not a good thing. The first time he came to the shop, he had broken his meridians and was looking for items to treat his injuries.
It could be said that Kuang Tie's achievements today were not only because of his talent, but also because of his own hard work.
"Store Manager Mo."
"Store Manager Mo."
Kuang Tie, Monkey, and the other mercenaries went up to greet Mo Tiankong, then walked to the shelves. There were still many warriors in line, so now was not a good time to chat.
Monkey and the others also came. The last time Kuang Tie went out on a mission, Li Qing led the team. Monkey didn't come either. It was possible that he was with Kuang Tie last time.
Mo Tiankong also continued to collect. There were more warriors coming on Monday. Although he was with Luo Ruo, there were still many warriors who hadn't finished their transactions by noon.
Soon, the mercenaries also lined up. Mad Lion was an elite group. After Kuang Tie broke through to the Martial General Realm, there were no more Martial Masters in the mercenary group. The lowest was a Martial General Realm warrior.
Wang Zai's items that could increase the accumulation of Yuan Qi were useless. For the Martial General Realm and several realms above, they were all about releasing their senses and nurturing their mental strength. Therefore, the Thousand Island Lake Beer was the best item.
Moreover, it satisfied the mercenaries' addiction to alcohol, killing two birds with one stone. The Thousand Island Lake Beer became the mercenary world's favorite. In the store, Mad Lion's mercenaries were not the only ones who bought it. Many other mercenary groups also bought it.
After the warriors finished their transactions, they left the store. When it was Kuang Tie's turn, Mo Tiankong saw that he was not only holding the Thousand Island Lake Beer, but also a bottle of Wangzai milk.
Wangzai had no effect on warriors above the Martial Warrior Realm. This had been tested before. Kuang Tie used it to heal injuries. If he bought it this time, it should also be used to heal injuries.
Mo Tiankong didn't know if other warriors knew or had tested Wangzai, but Wangzai actually had healing effects, especially internal injuries. However, Kuang Tie had used it before, so he naturally knew.
It was possible that they hadn't tested it before. After all, it cost 80 Spirit Stones per bottle. Low-level warriors couldn't afford it, but big families like the Zhang and Tang family might not have tested it. After all, the effects were clearly written. It was enough to give it to suitable warriors.
As for the effect of Wangzai on ordinary people, Mo Tiankong had tested it himself. The old man who set up the stall had really broken through to the Martial Warrior Realm.
"Store Manager Mo, I'd like to buy a bottle of Thousand Island Lake Beer and a bottle of Wangzai milk," Kuang Tie said as he stepped forward.
"That's a total of 580 Spirit Stones," Mo Tiankong said.
Kuang Tie then took out a storage bag and placed it on the cashier counter. Mo Tiankong also put it away. The next person was Monkey.
"Store Manager Mo, when will the new items be released?" Monkey asked as soon as he stepped forward.
"Not at the moment. When the new items are released, I'll inform you in advance." Mo Tiankong was a little depressed. It hadn't been long since the last store update, and he was already thinking about the new items.
Moreover, according to the System's behavior, the next store update should be more expensive than this one, so there was no need for Monkey to ask this question.
Looking at the few updates of the store, the items that appeared were more expensive each time. Although Monkey didn't need the Five Elements Marble, he couldn't afford it either. Mercenaries spent their Spirit Stones as soon as they had them. How could they save any Spirit Stones? Therefore, if they couldn't afford the Five Elements Marble, why would they want new items?
"Store Manager Mo, one bottle of Thousand Island Lake Beer," Monkey didn't care. He was just asking casually.
Then, he took out a storage bag and placed it on the cashier counter. Then, he turned and walked to the side.
In fact, mercenaries didn't come to the store often. On average, they came about twice a month. It was still possible to earn 500 Spirit Stones in half a month. In addition, Mad Lion's treatment was also much better now.
Moreover, the time they came was also very random. Sometimes they came at night, sometimes at noon or in the morning. Basically, they only came when they had free time. Compared to other mercenary groups, they did come a lot.
Kuang Tie and the other mercenaries didn't come much this time. There were only about 40 of them. After buying the items, the group left.
In the evening, the warriors in the store finally left. Mo Tiankong and Luo Ruo sat on a chair and chatted.
At this time, the System sent a prompt.
"Ding, a side quest has been issued. Travel to the nine countries of the Eastern Xuan Domain to promote the store's items. Quest requirement is 1% reputation in each country. Quest time limit is three months. Countdown to quest acceptance: 71: 59: 59. Quest will start immediately upon acceptance.
There is no penalty for failure. "A side quest appeared out of nowhere, and it was to travel to the nine countries of the Eastern Xuan Domain. Did the System think that he was too idle, so it gave him a side quest to play around? However, the final reward of the side quest was a random lottery, which he could still play around with. After all, there was no penalty for failure.
Mo Tiankong guessed that the System might have seen that he hadn't made any progress in the main quest for more than half a month, so it came up with this side quest. There wasn't much time in a year.
In addition, he hadn't actively thought of a way to complete the main quest. The System's method was also a good idea. It was just that the time limit of three months was a bit short. The other empires didn't have a transmission array, so they had to rely on themselves to travel, which was very time-consuming.
Therefore, the task quota set by the System wasn't high. It was enough to have 1% reputation in each country. Compared to the Aquamarine Empire, 1% reputation was about the size of a town.
It wasn't calculated based on the Sentry Town. There were many warriors in the Sentry Town, plus the garrison, so the reputation in the Aquamarine Empire would be higher.
As long as the warriors or ordinary people in one town in each empire knew about it, it would be enough. The task could be said to be simple, but it could also be said to be difficult. With a time limit of three months, the time spent in each empire would be limited, and most of the time would be spent on the road.
Therefore, after arriving in an empire, he had to find a way to quickly spread the news. Even if Mo Tiankong traveled day and night, it might take him two months to visit all the empires. The remaining month would be divided among the nine countries, which meant that he would have to complete 1% reputation in each country in about three days.
"System, is the time spent returning to the city counted in the mission?" Mo Tiankong asked the System.
"The mission can be completed when the reputation in the nine countries of the Eastern Xuan Domain reaches 1%," the System replied faintly.
Mo Tiankong understood. In other words, as long as the reputation reached the standard, the mission could be completed, and it could be completed in advance. The time spent returning to the empires naturally wouldn't be counted in the three months.
However, if he really wanted to complete this mission, it might take five to six months. Would Luo Ruo be able to do it alone in the shop? The main thing was that this trip would take too long, and there were many things that needed to be taken care of.
There were still three days before the departure of the mission. Mo Tiankong also understood why the System deliberately set aside three days for him to prepare and to take care of some things for Luo Ruo.
Mo Tiankong felt very pressured. A mission suddenly popped out, and he was a little unprepared. He just wanted to quietly open the shop, but the System insisted on making things difficult for him.
Of course, Mo Tiankong knew that the System issued this side mission for the Main Mission. He believed that when Mo Tiankong returned, the Main Mission would be almost completed.
The reason why only 1% reputation was needed was just as Mo Tiankong had thought before. It was just an opportunity for the items to flow into these empires. As long as he had this 1% reputation, he would soon have 2%, 10%, and so on. With the items in the grocery store, there was no problem at all.
