"The item will be sent to the Space Backpack," the System reminded him.
Luckily, he managed to get it this week. However, it was a close call. Today was the first day he left Zhangzhi City, so it was a Saturday. If he didn't get it tomorrow, he wouldn't get it this week.
The System wouldn't give him any hints about this. Sometimes, when he was busy, Mo Tiankong would forget about it. This was the second time.
How stingy. It was still a store manager's benefit. If he could get away with it, he would. Didn't his conscience hurt?
Sigh, but the System was immune to this topic. Did the System have a conscience? No. If it did, it wouldn't have let him have a debt of five hundred Spirit Stones the moment he arrived in this world.
The first month of the store was quite miserable. Five hundred Spirit Stones wasn't easy. At that time, there was only one item from Wangzai. Ten Spirit Stones, eighty Spirit Stones. It took him a long time to repay the debt.
Speaking of this, Mo Tiankong gritted his teeth. When he became the owner one day, he would let the System know why flowers were so popular. As for whether the System would be popular or not, he didn't want to think about it.
After receiving the weekly items, there were two fewer slots in his Interspatial Bag. One of them was the Thousand Island Lake Beer that he had just bought, while the other was the Five Element Marble.
There were only three slots left. After he packed up the items, the Space Backpack only took up five slots. He didn't know if the twelve slots given by the System were temporary or permanent.
He still needed to know if the System would take them back after the mission was completed. It was hard to say if it was so stingy.
Without thinking too much, Mo Tiankong continued to eat. Auspicious had already eaten two scallops and was about to eat the third. Mo Tiankong snatched the last scallop with his bare hands.
How bold. Didn't he see that he had taken two portions? He even wanted to eat his portion. Fortunately, he didn't eat it. Otherwise, he would definitely give him a good beating. As for the problem of whether he could win against someone of the same level, he would smoke if he couldn't win. He also had to maintain his dignity.
Otherwise, the sky would be turned upside down. He didn't get the Auspicious, but it didn't matter. The prawns were ready. He turned around and ate one.
In the end, the fish was split in half with Auspicious. They didn't drink as much beer as they wanted. Although five hundred spiritual stones wasn't much for Mo Tiankong, they couldn't possibly drink six thousand spiritual stones in one meal.
If that was the case, Mo Tiankong would probably go bankrupt after every meal. He only took out two bottles, one for himself and one for Auspicious.
After the meal, Mo Tiankong washed the utensils, bowls, and chopsticks. Then, he went into the shed to rest. As usual, Auspicious kept watch overnight.
This was also something Mo Tiankong had decided on a long time ago. If they wanted to eat, they had to keep watch. In the face of delicious food, Auspicious finally agreed.
.....
The third day. This was Mo Tiankong's third day on the road. After spending the first day in the wild, he was lucky on the second day. He passed by a city before nightfall, so he naturally rested in the city for the night.
However, he wasn't so lucky today. He still didn't see any signs of a city. Of course, he was mentally prepared for this.
If he continued on his way, he might be able to pass by a city at night.
Although he had a map, Mo Tiankong was rushing in the direction he was going. Therefore, whether he could find a city or not depended on his luck. He wouldn't take a detour just to rest in the city and waste the mission's time.
The mission's time was a little tight, so he couldn't waste it. If he was in the wild, Auspicious would keep watch. There wouldn't be a big problem as long as it wasn't a surprise attack by a Venerable Level demon beast.
The probability of encountering a Venerable Level demon beast in the wild was still very low. Usually, it was some low-level demon beasts. When a demon beast reached the Venerable Level, the cultivation environment it needed was naturally more demanding. Therefore, the probability of encountering a demon beast was extremely low.
The ones he really had to pay attention to were the robbers. Many martial artists who had committed crimes were wandering in the wilderness outside the city. They didn't dare to enter the city. If they wanted cultivation resources, they would naturally rob them from the martial artists who passed by.
Because it was convenient to kill and rob, it wasn't easy to chase them down. After robbing them, they would hide deep in the mountains and forests. Even a Martial Emperor or Venerable Level martial artist would have a hard time finding them. Their mental power wasn't unlimited, and it was much slower than the recovery of Yuan Qi.
There wasn't a good way to deal with them. However, the robbers of the Aquamarine Empire were more miserable. After the teleportation formation was set up, these martial artists had no food to eat. The caravans would rather spend some Spirit Stones to find Auspicious and not travel in the wild. They could only rely on a few martial artists to pass by.
There were even some who were similar to the Lian brothers who came to the shop before. They couldn't enter the city to rob. Of course, even if they could rob, they couldn't run away. There were many experts in the city. If they showed themselves, it would be easy to catch them.
Unlike in the wild, when the experts arrived, the robbers would have already disappeared. How could they find them? It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Until the sky turned dark, Mo Tiankong still didn't see the shadow of a city. He could only find a place to camp. In fact, he could travel at night. The key was that he didn't know how to observe the stars at night. Therefore, he could only travel during the day and rest at night.
Of course, traveling during the day consumed a lot of energy. Even if it was a martial artist of the same level, they would also choose to rest at night.
As usual, he moved out of the small shed. Mo Tiankong felt that he had the foresight. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to build a new camp every time.
Although it would only take a short time, he had been traveling for a day. If he could save some effort, he would save some.
After that, he started to cook. The staple food was still meat. Although he had brought some spirit rice, Mo Tiankong was too lazy to cook it.
After the meal, Mo Tiankong didn't go to sleep immediately. Instead, he lay down and looked at the night sky. Alright, he was waiting for the monthly settlement. That's right, today was the last day of the month.
After the wee hours of the morning, the system would calculate this month's turnover, and then his share would be converted into martial arts cultivation. He should be able to increase his grade by quite a bit this month. Just by going out and selling items during this period of time, he had already earned quite a lot of turnover.
Then, there was also the grocery store that Luo Ruo had been running. Luo Ruo only had two days of rest this month. It was the day when she attended the Zhang family's banquet with Mo Tiankong. There was also the last time when the turnover didn't increase. Something must have happened.
Mo Tiankong also looked at the turnover every day. After subtracting the amount of turnover from his sales, he could see the growth rate.
There were still many stars in the night sky. Since he was able to come to the Profound Sky Continent from Earth, it meant that there were at least two worlds that he had verified.
No matter how big the Profound Sky Continent was, it was only a martial arts world. There should be many similar worlds outside. He didn't know if he would be strong enough to return to Earth when he reached the Extreme Realm of Martial Arts.
Deep in his heart, Mo Tiankong still wanted to go back. Although he had seen this splendid martial arts world and knew that there might be more than one world in the universe, he still wanted to go back and take a look. If he went too far away, he would forget his hometown.
Of course, forgetting was still very difficult. After his strength increased, these things were almost impossible to forget. Unless he deliberately chose to forget these memories, he could still flip through them at will.
Just as Mo Tiankong was about to fall asleep in a daze, the System's notification finally came.
"Ding! This month's turnover is a total of 46,650,000 spirit stones. The System and the Host will split it 9: 1. The System will split it into 4,985 spirit stones. The Host will split it into 4,665 spirit stones. Converting it into martial arts cultivation …"
Fifth Grade Martial Emperor
Sixth Grade Martial Emperor
Seventh Grade Martial Emperor
Eighth Grade Martial Emperor
The white beam of light disappeared, and the conversion stopped. Because they were in the wilderness, the System restrained itself and didn't create a beam of light that reached the sky. That would be too conspicuous. However, in the shop, Mo Tiankong didn't know if the System's beam of light was reflected outside. He guessed that it wasn't. Otherwise, the warriors in Sentry Town would have seen it and asked about it.
As expected, the increase in cultivation this time was not small. It was a full four grades. Now, it would cost a million spirit stones to increase his cultivation by one grade. His cultivation also jumped to the level of a high-grade Martial Emperor. Only then could he feel the breakthrough.
Of course, Mo Tiankong knew about his own situation. This month was also a coincidence. After the end of the month last month, Yan Xiu had a big order. Just that deal alone was worth 26 million spirit stones.
In addition, this time, the grocery store had been operating without delay. Under Mo Tiankong's promotion, the items sold were also counted in the turnover. That was why the total turnover was more than 40 million spirit stones.
Lada's two transactions made almost 12 million spirit stones. Including Yan Xiu's transaction, there were 38 million spirit stones. It was almost 40 million spirit stones.
The grocery store's transactions didn't increase significantly recently. That should be because there weren't any big orders. After the Imperial Family bought, they needed time to digest them. The clans in the other cities also didn't need too many items.
As for the merchants, they also needed time to sell their items. After buying a batch, they would need to sell them slowly. After all, the transmission formations in the Aquamarine Empire were almost complete. The grocery store's prices were also relatively clear. It was impossible to sell them at a high price. People could just use the transmission formation to buy them.
It was possible to make a little profit, but the speed of selling would be slower. Warriors in urgent need or warriors who were too lazy to travel would buy them.
Finally, in Gui Shuang, there weren't many spirit stones sold. Most of the items were relatively cheap, such as Wangzai, Thousand Island Lake beer, and so on. Only the Yi Clan bought more than a million spirit stones. After three days, they added up to about two to three million spirit stones.
The remaining few million spirit stones were from the grocery store's sales. There were about four to five million spirit stones. At the end of the month, there was a turnover of more than 40 million spirit stones.
Unsurprisingly, the turnover had reached a new high. Although the spirit stones required to increase one's cultivation level were higher with each level, the market was also constantly expanding, and the turnover was also constantly increasing.
