"Store Manager Mo, can I really rent this Earth Grade weapon?" Kuang Tie asked with a hint of excitement in his voice.
The number of people in the mercenary group was like a drop in the ocean compared to the large number of monsters. Therefore, every time they went out and encountered a large group of monsters, they could only retreat. Even if there were Martial King level experts, it was impossible. When the number of monsters reached a certain level, they could cause harm to or even kill a high-ranked expert. Moreover, the number of members in the mercenary group was limited, and they could not afford to lose people. Perhaps only the Martial King level experts could escape, but the others could not.
Therefore, when they encountered a large group of monsters, they could only retreat. The key point was that a large group of monsters was also a large amount of money. If they had an Earth Grade weapon like the Gatling Gun, the profits would be great. After all, it could slaughter monsters below the Martial King level. Even if there were Martial King level monsters in a group of monsters, there were basically only one or two of them.
As long as the Martial King level expert was kept in check, the remaining warriors would be suppressed by Gatling's machine gun. They would be able to madly slaughter the low-level Demonic Beasts and reap huge profits. A single hunt could earn them a year's worth of wealth. In comparison, the rent of two hundred Spirit Stones was not expensive at all. Furthermore, it could be used by Martial Masters. Ordinary Earth Grade weapons could be used by Martial Masters after a single strike.
Mo Tiankong saw Kuang Tie's expression and knew what he was thinking. The rent of 200 Spirit Stones was very cheap, but the Gatling Gun required Spirit Stones to use, so he still reminded him.
"Cough cough, the Gatling Gun requires Spirit Stones to use," Mo Tiankong reminded him.
Hearing Mo Tiankong's reminder, Kuang Tie immediately calmed down and continued to look at the blackboard. When he saw the consumption of 1000 Spirit Stones per minute, he could not help but frown. This consumes a lot of energy, especially if it's continuous firing. It's almost impossible to achieve one monster per shot, unless you can use your mental strength to correct it. Then, the user who can maximize the Gatling Gun's power has to be at least a Wuzong level martial artist. Fortunately, it doesn't last long, and the mental strength should be enough to support the correction of the shooting time.
"Store Manager Mo, even if it costs up to a thousand spirit stones per minute, as long as we find a suitable group of demon beasts, the profit will still be huge. Wuzong level martial artists are able to slightly use their mental strength. The weight of the Gatling Gun, under the amplification of a Wuzong level martial artist's Yuan Qi, is very simple to pick up. Mental strength can also be used to correct each shot, ensuring that it won't be wasted. The rental value is still very high," the Kuang Tie said to Mo Tiankong after thinking about how to use the weapon.
Mo Tiankong stared blankly. Although he had the strength of an Item Martial Master, his thinking was still the same as when he was on Earth. On Earth, the army could not use the Gatling Gun to kill one person with each bullet. There was no precise control. It was hard to say how many people could be killed with 1000 bullets.
But now, they were in the Profound Sky Continent. This was a world where martial artists could split mountains and split seas. They could also use their mental strength to correct their mental strength. In addition to the powerful strength of martial artists, it was not difficult to kill one monster per bullet. As long as they hunted a large number of monsters, they could completely make up for the consumption of Spirit Stones.
Most of the materials from a monster's body were very valuable. The tough parts, teeth, tail, and so on could be made into weapons. The scales on the body could be made into armor. The heart contained the essence of the whole body and could be used as medicine. Other than a few monsters, the flesh and blood could be used. Therefore, the overall value of a monster was very high, far exceeding a Spirit Stone. So, if they could hunt a large number of monsters, they could completely ignore the consumption of Spirit Stones.
Thinking about it, he felt that the rent he had set was too low. If he rented out the Gatling Gun, with this usage rate and accuracy, he would make a huge profit. Mo Tiankong was a little regretful, but now that someone had seen it, and although it was only the Kuang Tie, it was not good to change it. He endured the heartache. Just treat it as a small profit but quick turnover, Mo Tiankong constantly comforted himself.
"Yes, so this can be considered a benefit of our shop. There aren't many Earth-level weapons in Sentry Town, right? Moreover, they are usually hidden and won't be used. Our shop can use them as long as you have spirit stones," Mo Tiankong said with a smile. Since he couldn't change the price anymore, he could only promote it more.
"Store Manager Mo is right. Even my father doesn't have an Earth Grade weapon, which shows how rare Earth Grade weapons are. The rent for this Gatling Gun is very cheap. I will go back and discuss it with my father. As long as we find a large group of monsters, we will come and rent it," the Kuang Tie said after thinking for a while.
"No problem, the weapon is right here. As long as you have the money, anyone can use it. But you have to be careful. If you don't return it on time, the store will take back the Gatling Gun. Violators will be obliterated," Mo Tiankong then reminded him of the last sentence on the small blackboard. Since the profits were split fifty-fifty with the System, if they did not return it on time, the System would take action. That could lead to death. He had complete faith in the System's strength.
"Okay, Store Manager Mo, I will leave first," the Kuang Tie said. He had already bought the item and learned that Earth Grade weapons could be rented. The Kuang Tie was a little impatient. He wanted to go home and discuss it with his father. The strength of the mercenary group might increase rapidly because of this weapon and enter a new stage.
Mo Tiankong had achieved his goal. The Thousand Island Lake beer was sold, and the Gatling Gun was also introduced to the rental service. He did not continue chatting and walked the Kuang Tie to the door. This was a rich man who was not inferior to Zhang Tiannan and the others.
Time slowly passed, and soon it was evening. There were not many customers in the store at this time. Mo Tiankong sat on the chair at the cashier's desk and studied the main quest. Yes, the new main quest was released after the store leveled up. It was just that he had been busy with the lottery and looking at the new items in the store. Then the Kuang Tie came over, so he didn't have time to look at it. Now that the store was empty, Mo Tiankong began to look at it.
"Ding! Main quest released. The store's reputation in Sentry Town within three months must reach 50%. If the quest is completed and the store's experience is enough to level up, the store can be upgraded. If the quest is completed, the reward will be a random lottery. If the quest is failed, the store's experience will be reduced to zero, and the host's martial arts cultivation will drop by one stage."
Mo Tiankong was dumbfounded. What the hell was reputation? It couldn't be that 50% of the people in Sentry Town had to come to the store to trade, right? Although Sentry Town was only a town, it was a town that could meet the standards of city construction. It had a large population, and most of them were martial artists.
"System, explain the reputation." Mo Tiankong prayed that it was not really 50% of the people who came to the store to trade. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to complete, and there would not be enough time. Due to the limit of purchases, it was simply impossible to complete.
"Reputation refers to knowing the name of the store and knowing an item in the store as the standard. Currently, the store's business is on the right track, and the rental service of the Gatling Gun can also increase the store's reputation," the System explained.
Mo Tiankong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it did not have to be 50% of the people who came to the store to trade. Knowing the name of the store and knowing an item in the store was still acceptable. Moreover, the publicity effect of the Gatling Gun after using it could also be incorporated into the reputation, so it was still quite reliable.
Currently, the store lacked means of publicity. If they relied on word of mouth, the speed of dissemination was limited. The rental service of the Gatling Gun was currently the best publicity tool. As long as someone rented it, it should bring a lot of reputation. This was also the only active broadcasting tool that the store had at the moment.
If he could complete the mission in three months, the store would be upgraded, and there would be a random lottery reward. When he had drawn the Gatling Gun before, although Mo Tiankong felt that he was unlucky, it was at least an Earth-level weapon. It was considered relatively rare in Sentry Town, and Mo Tiankong was still not satisfied with its grade. He had to admit that the random lottery reward was very rich.
However, if he failed the mission, the store's experience at the current level would be emptied, and his martial arts cultivation would drop by one level. The difficulty of obtaining store experience was very high. What was required was the number of transactions, and it had nothing to do with the number of spirit stones. Even the Hanxue Horse Card was sold for 5,000 spirit stones, and it could only be considered a transaction if it was sold.
Mo Tiankong was not in a hurry to check the System's panel. He did not know how many transactions it would take to upgrade a second-level store to a third-level store, but thinking about it, it would not be a small number. Upgrading from a first-level store to a second-level store required 100 transactions of experience.
As for the punishment of dropping by one level in martial arts cultivation, it was extremely frightening. He remembered that the last time the System had issued a main mission, it had only reduced his cultivation by five levels. This time, it was an entire level of cultivation. Even if he was at the Martial Master level, he would directly fall to the Martial Warrior level.
The difficulty of this mission was still very high, and Mo Tiankong wanted to ask the System about it.
"System, previously, upgrading the store did not require reputation. Why does it now require reputation to upgrade from a second-level store to a third-level store?" Mo Tiankong asked.
"The System has already said before that future upgrades will require reputation to reach a certain level. The reason for this is that the number of transactions is actually not that important. The System's ultimate mission is to make the Super General Store famous throughout the continent and to let the host reach the peak. Therefore, reputation is a very good measure of the store's influence. From a third-level store onwards, all future upgrades will require reputation to reach a certain level. Please do your best, host," the System said calmly.
Mo Tiankong, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded. 'System, are you kidding me? You'll need Reputation Points in the future, and the map will definitely get bigger and bigger. Only when the shop reaches the point where it can affect the entire continent's Reputation Points will it be considered complete.' Mo Tiankong expressed that he was under a lot of pressure. The future missions would not be easy to complete, but for the sake of the generous rewards, he could only work hard. Even reaching a certain level of reputation in Sentry Town was extremely difficult. The road ahead was long, so he might as well tease the System.
"System, can you help me wash something?" Mo Tiankong chuckled. He was waiting for the System to say something. This was a routine conversation in one of the more popular software programs on Earth.
"Wash what? How much will you pay?" the System very naturally replied.
"Hehe." Mo Tiankong felt that asking the System this kind of thing was really stupid.
