Mo Tiankong woke up early in the morning, but it wasn't the System's wake-up call. Instead, it was the sound of a tsunami, and he realized that the sea beasts were about to riot.
After washing his face, Mo Tiankong summoned Auspicious from the Fire Qilin Card and walked towards the door of the store.
When he opened the door, there would usually be quite a few martial artists waiting there, but there were none today. There were quite a few fully armed martial artists walking around with hurried expressions.
Apart from that, Mo Tiankong also noticed that the number of martial artists patrolling the town had decreased by quite a bit. There were only a few left. The martial artists in the town formed groups and walked out of the town, heading towards the beach.
Mo Tiankong also saw the Zhang Clan's group. It was a grand lineup with two Martial Kings, dozens of Wuzong, over a hundred Martial Generals, and hundreds of Martial Masters. He even saw Zhang Tiannan, but he didn't see Zhang Yun. After all, he was the head of the Zhang Clan, and he definitely wouldn't come out so easily.
"Young Master Zhang, over here. Come, come over here." Mo Tiankong hurriedly called out to Zhang Tiannan.
Zhang Tiannan had also applied to participate in this time's sea beast riot. His strength had increased quite quickly recently, and he needed to temper himself a bit. Moreover, which true expert hadn't gone through countless battles? Hearing someone call out to him, Zhang Tiannan turned his head and looked around. He saw that it was the Store Manager Mo of the grocery store. He immediately walked out of the group and ran towards the grocery store.
"Store Manager Mo, what's wrong?" Zhang Tiannan asked as he approached.
"Young Master Zhang, is your Zhang Clan preparing to go all out?" Mo Tiankong was a bit speechless as he asked. There were also high level martial artists and mid level martial artists, and there were quite a few of them.
"No, no, but we've sent out most of our martial artists," Zhang Tiannan explained.
Hearing this, it seemed that the Zhang Clan still had quite a few martial artists who hadn't come out. Mo Tiankong thought for a bit and understood. To put it bluntly, the sea beasts were going to fight for resources. Although they didn't send many people, their strength wasn't bad. The weakest among them was a Martial Master. The strength of such a group of martial artists was still very terrifying. Moreover, they definitely had to leave some people to guard their headquarters. The same should be true for the other three families.
Otherwise, if the losses of the martial artists sent out during the sea beast riot were too great, the entire clan would be wiped out.
Even the Zhang Clan's forces't, they had a lot of martial artists... These clans really couldn't be underestimated.. Mo Tiankong estimated that the martial artists sent out by the Zhang family were probably less than half of the strength of the Zhang family.
"Did you assign the areas to guard?" After all, the Zhang Clan had sent out quite a few martial artists. If they mixed in with the garrison, they wouldn't be able to get any harvest. If that was the case, these large clans wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
"Yes. Generally, the large and small clans in the town will request to be assigned a garrison area. Of course, the force must have at least one Martial King expert overseeing it. Once the Mayor and General Ye Yun agree, it's fine. After gathering and arriving at the designated area, the garrison will leave and the force will take over. Naturally, the harvest will also belong to the force stationed in that area, "Zhang Tiannan explained after sorting out his thoughts.
As for the martial artists who were Loose Cultivators, they would naturally fight guerrilla warfare. They could just defend with the garrison and collect what they killed.
Mo Tiankong felt that this was quite reasonable. Moreover, a force with a Martial King expert was required to assign a garrison area. Otherwise, if the defensive line was breached, it would lead to the collapse of the entire defensive line, which would be very serious.
Therefore, this minimum standard was set. There were many Martial Kings among the sea beasts, so they needed human Martial Kings to restrain them. This also ensured that every section of the defensive line wouldn't be breached.
The Sentry Town clearly saw the sea beast riot as a great harvest. Most of the clans were involved.
However, this situation couldn't be helped. Although there were 100,000 soldiers stationed, the experts among them couldn't compare to the sea beasts. Ye Yun, who was a Martial King, could only defend a section of the defensive line, but not the entire defensive line. Therefore, in the past, the martial artists in the town had spontaneously organized some martial artists. Of course, the various clans also expressed their intentions and sent out a few experts to help defend.
Later, after the Mayor came forward and discussed with General Ye Yun, this rule was set. The large clans could divide the defense area.
Although there were experts to assist in the defense, a large number of low-level martial artists were injured or killed. Therefore, this idea was created.
After all, there were so many sea beasts. The 100,000 soldiers stationed here couldn't eat all of them. They could only divide the loot. At least they could maintain their military strength. Moreover, they could gather more troops. In the past, many of the sea beasts couldn't be collected in time. They were either swallowed or trampled by the sea beasts behind them. Some valuable materials couldn't even be collected.
Now, they can also split out some people to collect the Tang Sabers. Previously, Ye Yun also used the military funds to purchase the Tang Sabers. As long as they can make up for it after this harvest, it will be fine. Of course, the soldiers who receive the Tang Sabers will have their military funds deducted.
"Store Manager Mo, I won't talk to you anymore." Seeing that the Zhang Clan's team had already gone far, Zhang Tiannan also left. He had to catch up with the team.
After all, the sea beast riot was still very dangerous. If they didn't follow the team, a sea beast might suddenly appear and swallow them when they reached the front line.
"Okay." Mo Tiankong already knew what he wanted to ask, so he agreed.
After parting with Mo Tiankong, Zhang Tiannan also ran all the way to catch up with the Zhang Clan's team.
From time to time, the sound of the waves could be heard. From the beach to Sentry Town, the sound was still very loud. The battle ahead must be very fierce. Mo Tiankong naturally wanted to go and take a look. However, he didn't know if the System would let him go. It was business hours now.
"System, is there? I want to take a leave. After all, I haven't seen the sea beast riot yet." Mo Tiankong asked the System in his mind.
"Host, it's still business hours now. That's impossible." Hearing that Mo Tiankong wanted to close the shop to watch the sea beast riot, the System immediately responded.
"But look, most of the warriors have gone to the beach. Look at the empty streets," Mo Tiankong said, unwilling to give up.
The warriors in Sentry Town were very efficient. While Mo Tiankong and Zhang Tiannan were talking, most of the warriors had already run out of the town. Now, Haikou Street was empty. Many shops were closed. The shop owners brought their employees to the beach to join in the fun. After all, they could still pick up the fish that escaped the net. Moreover, looking at the empty streets, there weren't any warriors coming to visit.
"The shop's level is too low," the System continued.
When Mo Tiankong heard this, he was shocked. The System meant that the current shop's level was too low. If the shop's level was high enough, then there should be a way to take a leave or a set rest time.
This was considered good news. At least in the future, when the shop's level was high enough, there would be a chance to take a leave. After all, the shop was open for 12 hours, and it was open from 10 am to 10 pm. There was no private time. The world was so big, he wanted to see it.
However, although there were sea beast riots every year, it was relatively rare to encounter one. From what the Kuang Tie and the others said, sometimes it would happen once a year, and sometimes it would happen once every two or three months. It was hard to say when they would encounter one. Moreover, Mo Tiankong was also very curious.
Just by listening to the sound of the tsunami, the battle at the defense line must be very fierce. The scene was definitely not inferior to a fantasy film. Mo Tiankong was also curious to see the battle between the otherworldly warriors and the sea beast riots.
"System, why don't we leave the shop open? If anyone comes, you can remind me. I'll rush back immediately. With my current strength as a rank seven general, I believe that I can reach the shop in a few minutes if I run at full speed. Is that okay?" There was no way he would give in. He would never give in in this life. It didn't matter if the System didn't agree, he would find a solution himself.
"No, it's business hours now," the System calmly replied.
Mo Tiankong exploded in anger. There wasn't anyone on the street, and no one came to the shop to buy anything. Many shops on the street were closed, and this stupid System also wouldn't let him go out.
"System, I'm still the manager of the grocery store. Don't blame me for slacking off like this," Mo Tiankong said fiercely. If he wasn't allowed to go out, then he would slack off in the future. If he said that he wasn't selling anything when people came to buy, then the System wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
After he finished speaking, the scene became a bit cold. The System didn't immediately reply, and Mo Tiankong also didn't say anything.
Seeing that the System didn't reply, Mo Tiankong's expression was very calm, but his heart was pounding. The System wouldn't kill him just because of a disagreement, right?
"You can go out, but the System will charge you one Spiritual Stone per minute," the System said after a while.
Mo Tiankong couldn't take it anymore. He still had to pay a Spirit Stone per minute when he went out. Hehe, Meituan's take-out only cost a few Spirit Stones. So I have to pay a Spirit Stone just to go out? Is this robbery?
"Hehe, I just want to know what kind of fee is one Spiritual Stone per minute," Mo Tiankong said with a cold smile.
"System notification fee. If a customer comes to the door, the System will notify you to come back," the System said calmly.
Mo Tiankong deeply felt that he was too young. The System even said such shameless words in such a serious manner.
"Then does it mean that if no one comes to the door, it won't be charged?" Mo Tiankong asked back.
"If you don't call when you charge your phone, will the operator refund the money to you? You have a monthly fee for using the internet," the System said with disdain.
Mo Tiankong's heart was tired. He had a feeling that he had never won before. Every time he argued with the System, he was speechless. He couldn't afford to be hurt.
The System meant that if he wanted to go out, he had to pay the System notification fee, regardless of whether or not there was a customer.
Since when did he have to pay a fee to go out? Mo Tiankong guessed that he was the only one left. The System was still squeezing him dry, and he was no match for it. But at least he could go out. At least the System agreed to his request in a disguised way, but he had to pay a price.
What a profiteer, Mo Tiankong sighed in his heart. The System cheated him whenever he had the chance. Mo Tiankong deeply suspected that the System didn't pay 500 Spiritual Stones back then.
"Sure, isn't it just one Spiritual Stone per minute? I can afford it," Mo Tiankong still agreed to the System's unfair terms and expressed that he could afford it.
