As he got closer and closer to Frostwolf City, Mo Tiankong felt that something was amiss. As he was looking down from above, he could not see Frostwolf City from afar. It looked like it was built on top of a mountain range.
There was a certain slope, but the city was built on a relatively flat area. This was the first time Mo Tiankong had seen such an interesting city.
Furthermore, from afar, it looked like a wolf's head. There was still a small path from the ground for cultivators to walk on.
Without thinking too much, Mo Tiankong landed at the city gate. There were not many cultivators going in and out of the city. The entire city was not very big, only about three hundred miles in radius.
The reason why cultivators rarely went out might be related to the snowy weather. Even cultivators could not go out easily because the snow had accumulated to a depth of one meter in one night.
The snow here was much heavier than on Earth. It might also have something to do with the Chaotic Sea. The water vapor conditions were relatively good, so the amount of snow would be heavier.
Of course, these were just guesses. Mo Tiankong did not know much about this. Soon, he entered the city.
There were still cultivators clearing the roads in the city. Therefore, the situation of not being able to set up stalls due to the heavy snow did not occur. The patrolling cultivators released their Essence as they walked, clearing the roads on the main street. However, the roofs were not cleared. It was still a vast expanse of white.
There were not many cultivators walking around. Mo Tiankong was a little worried. It had been snowing for about a week. It had started when he had set off. He had spent five days on his journey, so it had been six days in total.
It had not stopped yet. Why did it snow for more than a week in the Xingwu World? It had also been snowing for more than a week during the Great Snowball Battle.
After that, he walked around and checked the cultivations of the cultivators in the city. This was also a way to understand the martial arts standards of Frostwolf City.
Many times, the martial arts standards of the cultivators in the city reflected the purchasing power of the cultivators in the city. Along the way, there were many cultivators at the Martial Practitioner and Martial Master level. There were fewer cultivators at the Martial General level. There were even fewer cultivators at the Wuzong level. There was not a single cultivator at the Martial King level.
There weren't any powerful auras in the city. Mo Tiankong probed with his Spiritual Energy but didn't sense any auras of Martial Monarchs. After thinking about it, he realized that his Spiritual Energy could only cover a limited area.
After all, they had only just entered the city. However, along the way, Mo Tiankong had a feeling that things were not going well. The current standard of martial arts in Outpost Town should be comparable to that of Frostwolf City.
Moreover, such a remote city did not have any experts guarding it. There were only some small mountains nearby, and the resources available were limited. It was normal that no experts were willing to come here.
If that was the case, the more expensive items might not be able to be sold. However, they weren't here purely for the turnover. They were still here for the mission.
Traveling would take a lot of time. Hence, he had to complete his quest as soon as possible and head to the next empire. Following which, Mo Tiankong learned about Frostwolf City's history and the situation in the Marton Empire.
It was necessary to do so. He also had a concept of the completion rate of the mission. Otherwise, without a reference, it would be very difficult for him to determine the duration of the mission.
If the mission took a long time, he could choose to cooperate with the local trading companies. That way, he would be able to complete the mission faster. If it didn't take long to set up a stall, then he would set up a stall.
Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of cutting firewood. This was Mo Tiankong's experience. After traveling to so many empires, he had accumulated some experience.
Mo Tiankong arrived in the morning. It was almost noon now. He found a restaurant and had a casual meal. Then, he continued to stroll around.
Normally, even if Mo Tiankong arrived early, he wouldn't immediately set up a stall on the first day. Basically, he would first understand the situation. Then, if he wanted to set up a stall, he would choose a location.
The location in the center of the city was naturally very popular. Hence, it wasn't easy to find a place with a lot of human traffic that wasn't occupied.
Originally, martial artists didn't travel much. If he found a place with less human traffic, even if he sold it, there wouldn't be any martial artists watching. Then, there wouldn't be any publicity value.
This was also a relatively important point. After strolling around for an entire afternoon, there were still a few locations with relatively more human traffic. Seeing that it was still early, Mo Tiankong decided to set up a stall first.
It was still around three in the afternoon. There was still some time before the sky turned dark. He couldn't waste so much time. He couldn't possibly sleep in a restaurant.
Moreover, the feeling of snow was quite artistic. It felt very novel. The main thing was that his body wouldn't feel cold and he could even look at the snow.
As usual, Mo Tiankong shouted. Some martial artists who passed by also came forward to inquire about the items. However, there were still very few who actually bought them. This kind of situation was something that Mo Tiankong was used to.
Of course, it wasn't necessary to find a suitable person to cooperate with the publicity. There were always martial artists who were willing to believe that the items were real and would buy some.
Of course, they were all Wangzai three-piece sets. The other items were slightly more expensive, but there weren't many martial artists who bought them. By the evening, Mo Tiankong still managed to sell some of the Wangzai three-piece sets.
Of course, there were only a few dozen pieces, which was very normal. Moreover, to be honest, the publicity effect wasn't very effective. The stall owners at the side all looked at the martial artists who bought the items as if they were fools.
It was estimated that they would only be able to feel the quality of the items after using them. Although Wangzai's consumption period was five days, it didn't mean that one pill wouldn't feel anything.
It was equivalent to dividing the martial artist's rank into five equal portions. The one-fifth increase in rank was still very obvious. Therefore, after these martial artists used it, there was no guarantee that they would still come back to buy it the next day.
They could be considered as a group of potential customers. As long as they came at the right time, which was when there were many people, then the publicity would be fast.
Today, there were only a few martial artists who came, so it didn't attract much attention. Naturally, there wasn't much of an effect.
When the sky darkened, Mo Tiankong ended the trial business for the day. There were fewer martial artists going out at night. Efficiency was important in doing business. Therefore, even if he waited until the middle of the night, there probably wouldn't be many martial artists coming. He might as well go back and sleep.
Mo Tiankong found an inn on the street next door. Of course, he also had a meal before going upstairs to rest.
He leaned against the window and looked at the snow. At night, the shops on both sides of the street were still brightly lit. Shops were different from stalls. Since they were open for a long time, they would naturally have an approximate business time.
He didn't know when this snow would stop. He couldn't possibly wait until he left Frostwolf City. It was possible that it would stop.
He probably wouldn't stay here for long. Three or four days at most. It had already been a week, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference.
Actually, it didn't matter to him whether it snowed or not. He was just worried that it would affect the progress of his mission. There were still very few martial artists going out today.
Mo Tiankong didn't believe that there were only a few martial artists strolling on the streets of a city. As for rich young masters, he didn't even come across a single one. Originally, it would have been much faster to fool one.
As usual, he kept an Auspicious Night Watch. Mo Tiankong slept soundly. Even if he was in an inn or a restaurant, he still had to keep watch. It was better to be cautious.
.....
The next day, Mo Tiankong got up and went straight to the spot where he set up his stall yesterday. As expected, many of the martial artists who had bought the items yesterday had come again. Moreover, they had brought people with them.
Mo Tiankong didn't have to worry too much about it. The publicity effect was already there. Many martial artists who passed by stopped to watch.
They didn't believe that one person would buy, but a group of people couldn't possibly be stupid. Therefore, after some of the martial artists inquired, they started to buy.
The effect of the first day was quite good. Because of the martial arts level, the items that were bought weren't very expensive. Most of them were some Wangzai Thousand Island Lake Beer. Only one Ferghana Horse Card was sold.
This was still considered good luck. A manager of a big family happened to pass by here to purchase items. Therefore, he bought the Ferghana Horse Card and used it on the spot.
After it was effective, he left happily. Although there weren't many martial artists who had subdued a Monster Pet, there were still many martial artists who wanted it. Therefore, it was still more suitable to sell items.
As for the Five Element Marbles and the small teleportation circle, none of them were sold. Now, the reputation points were only limited to ordinary martial artists.
The next day, there were even more martial artists who came to buy. The information of these items had also entered the eyes of the big and small forces in Frostwolf City. Under the premise that there was proof of the effects of the items, they sent people to buy them.
The amount of turnover didn't matter. What Mo Tiankong wanted was reputation points. Even if there weren't any Five Element Marbles and the other valuable items, it didn't matter.
He worked until around one o 'clock in the middle of the night. Only then did he pack up and leave. The Thousand Island Lake Beer was also a popular item. Many of the martial artists who bought it were stuck at the mental power level. Those who were willing to buy it also had breakthroughs in their cultivation after using it.
Therefore, Mo Tiankong's little stall was also very popular. It was similar to the situation in Acropolis. Mo Tiankong kept trading. The martial artists who came later either knew about the situation of the items or were waiting for the martial artists to explain a few words.
This also saved a lot of effort. When he returned to the inn, Mo Tiankong counted the items. Wangzai had sold more than 9,000 items. There were also many other items that were sold. There were several hundred bottles of Thousand Island Lake Beer.
Because the price was more expensive, several hundred bottles were actually quite a lot. It was the best-selling item after Wangzai and ranked second in terms of sales.
However, he still didn't have enough reputation points. It seemed that he was still lacking a little. Mo Tiankong estimated that he should be able to complete it by the third day. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be even more martial artists coming tomorrow.
Three days should be enough. The Marton Empire only had more than 40 cities, so there shouldn't be too many people. Reputation points didn't require half of the city's martial artists to buy it. As long as they knew about the items in the general store, they could also earn reputation points.
Ordinary people might not even be able to afford Wangzai, but that didn't stop them from knowing about it. There were also some ordinary people in the city. These people knew the name of the store and the items in the store, so they could earn reputation points.
