Mo Tiankong did not chat with the System for a long time as the warriors in the shop walked around.
However, Mo Tiankong couldn't remain calm when he saw that the other two family heads had also left with their own people. Could it be that the items in the store weren't attractive enough? They didn't even have enough to buy before leaving. But it was impossible.
When they entered the shop earlier, they were clearly shocked when they saw the new items. Could it be that they could not afford them?
Mo Tiankong instantly felt that the side mission was a little difficult. Could it be that the prices of the new items in the shop had already exceeded the spending power of these families?
Mo Tiankong could not understand. However, as the people from the four families left, the hall began to move. There was no point in looking at the items if they could not afford them.
Many people had already chosen their items and walked towards the cashier to pay. Mo Tiankong also stopped thinking about it.
As a portion of the people left the shop, the shop also became empty. However, not long after, the crowd outside once again surged in.
Looking at the warriors in the shop, Mo Tiankong thought to himself. Many a little makes a mickle. Even if they only bought cheap Wangzai items, with such a large number of people, there was still a chance for them to make a profit.
Time slowly passed by, and the number of warriors in the store decreased by a lot. Most of the people had already left, but the Wild Lion Mercenary Group's members hadn't left yet. Seeing that there weren't many people in the store, Wild Lion brought his mercenaries over.
However, these mercenaries came to buy items on Monday when Mo Tiankong announced the new items in the shop. They were unable to buy items this week, but they could still buy the new items. However, they did not have the money, haha.
However, the reason why they were delayed for so long was because they had their eyes on the Treasure Hunting Compass. As for the teleportation array, it was not necessary for mercenary groups. Because they often went out on missions and hunted demonic beasts, they naturally spent a lot of time in the wilderness. Therefore, this item was the most suitable.
It was more cost-effective to bring it with them when they were out on missions to search for spirit veins and heavenly treasures. They could even go out to search for spirit veins when they were free. To them, the Treasure Hunting Compass was the most practical item.
After all, whether it was small groups of demonic beasts or sea beasts, it wasn't easy to encounter them. Therefore, the profits were usually very low. Every year, many small mercenary groups would disband because they couldn't afford to raise them.
They were all martial artists, and their expenditure was high. Cultivation resources, weapons, and so on. If the income of the mercenary group could not match the daily expenditure, naturally no one would be willing to do it.
On the other hand, Mad Lion's scale was small, but its members were all elites. After purchasing the Thousand Island Lake Beer from the shop, most of the mercenaries who were stuck at the peak of Martial Master had already made a breakthrough. Only Kuang Tie and a few other mercenaries who had not accumulated enough Primordial Qi to make a breakthrough were left.
Moreover, there was no bottleneck for them to reach the Martial General Realm. As for the accumulation of Essence Qi, it was also very fast. After all, the Wangzai from the grocery store was still effective for warriors in the Martial Master Realm. Soon, the lower limit of the mercenary group would be the Martial General Realm.
At that time, they would truly have to do business. With a high cultivation, their daily expenditure would naturally be higher. The cultivation resources they needed would also be more expensive. Therefore, they were still lacking money.
Furthermore, most of the Wuzong Realm mercenaries had bought Ferghana Horses. Feeding them consumed a lot of Spirit Stones. Even if they didn't use Spirit Stones, they still needed a large amount of demonic beast hearts to increase their cultivation.
Currently, they didn't have the money to feed them. Apart from Mad Lion and Kuang Tie, the rest of the mercenaries were still at the Martial Master Realm. The amount of Spirit Stones they needed to advance was several times higher. Even though they had made a fortune from the sea beasts, most of it was used to buy Ferghana Horses.
"Store Manager Mo, we want two Treasure Seeking Compasses," Mad Lion said as he took out a Treasure Seeking Compass. Kuang Tie also took out one.
Mo Tiankong glanced at him. This fellow was a bit too ambitious. He thought that one Treasure Seeking Compass was too slow and wanted to buy two. However, it would still be very dangerous for a Wuzong Realm mercenary to venture deep into the mountain range.
"En, that'll be twenty thousand Spirit Stones in total," Mo Tiankong said.
Mad Lion took out two storage pouches from his Interspatial Ring and placed them on the counter. Mo Tiankong also waved his hand and put them away.
As for danger, the mercenary group's missions were always dangerous. There were also missions that ventured deep into danger zones and so on. They all had their heads tied to their waistbands. Moreover, buying one Treasure Seeking Compass was a bit too little. It would be too slow.
As for the Wuzong Realm mercenary group, Mad Lion was definitely going to buy one for himself. Firstly, he could fly faster and use the Treasure Seeking Compass more efficiently. Secondly, he was going to buy one for the Wuzong Realm mercenaries. The Wuzong Realm mercenaries who could fly for a short period of time could also explore the mountain range. However, because their cultivations were still too low, they would be rotated after exploring an area.
As for why Martial Generals didn't buy one, it was because they couldn't fly. Once they circulated their Yuan Qi at full force, it would alert many Demonic Beasts. If they were entangled, they would die. Moreover, their speed would be slow. The Wuzong Realm mercenaries could at least fly for a short period of time. Moreover, the higher their cultivations, the stronger their ability to protect themselves.
After the group of mercenaries finished buying, they said their goodbyes and left the store. After all, there wasn't anything else to buy. The remaining mercenaries also left after picking out the items they needed.
After one day, they had a turnover of more than 100,000 Spirit Stones. It was comparable to last Monday's turnover. The Kuang Tie and the others contributed 20,000 Spirit Stones. The new items on the shelves could be considered to have opened for business. Many of the mercenaries who hadn't come to buy before also came today and spent a lot of Spirit Stones.
Although the people from the four major families didn't buy anything and left, there were many small and medium-sized families and other forces in Sentry Town who also bought a lot. However, most of them were the Ferghana Horse and the Treasure Seeking Compass. None of the Transmission Array and Inheritance Orbs were sold. It was also related to the higher prices of these two items.
As for those who didn't buy anything from the four major families, Mo Tiankong was sure that they would definitely come later. They were probably discussing it now. These two items were important and useful. As long as these people weren't idiots, they would definitely come to buy them. Therefore, Mo Tiankong wasn't very worried.
After a busy day, Mo Tiankong closed the store on time. After that, he walked back to the backyard and started cooking dinner for himself and Auspicious.
After all, the best reward for a busy day was delicious food. His movements were nimble as he cooked in the kitchen. To be honest, he was just a small staff member on Earth, not a chef. He was just a foodie. After coming to this world, he started to cook for himself. Moreover, as an Earthling, to be honest, the taste was a little different from that of the mainland, so it was better to cook for himself.
Ji Xiang was quietly lying down in the courtyard, waiting for the meal to start.
However, at this moment, the System's notification sounded. Mo Tiankong immediately opened it and looked at it. The main mission was late. Every time the System released a mission, the timing was very casual. He was cooking. After complaining for a while, he still looked at it seriously.
"Main Mission: Store reputation in the Aquamarine Empire reaches 50%. Time limit: half a year. Completion of the mission will reward you with a random lottery. Failing the mission will cause your martial arts cultivation to drop by one level."
"Note: The next upgrade of the store requires the completion of the main mission and the store's experience to level up. The store will be upgraded."
This time, the System did not directly state the requirement of the store's reputation in the main mission. Instead, it made a note that the store's next upgrade required the completion of the main mission. Didn't that mean that he had to reach 50% of the Aquamarine Empire's reputation?
However, the punishment for failing the mission seemed to be the same as the previous main mission. Mo Tiankong's cultivation would definitely be higher than Wuzong in half a year. If the business was good, there was hope for him to become a Martial Emperor. If he fell by one level in the Martial King level, it would be a turnover of tens of millions.
The punishment for failing the mission was still very severe, and the reward for completing the mission was a random lottery. Although it was very good, Mo Tiankong still felt that he was losing out.
Heh, the System. Couldn't it be a little more creative? But then again, the System had not been communicating with him recently. This was not good. Of course, Mo Tiankong did not think that he had not teased the System for a long time after he had Auspicious. Well, he had forgotten about his old love because he had a new one.
As for reaching 50% of the Aquamarine Empire's reputation, based on the speed at which the news spread in Sentinel Town, it would be impossible to complete the mission in half a year. However, there was still a chance. As long as the Zhang and Tang family did as they were told, there was still hope.
When Mo Tiankong saw this, he did not want to continue reading. Half a year was still early. Of course, cooking was more important now. Auspicious kept calling out impatiently.
This was like drawing an ancestor back. How could he let his master cook while he lay leisurely on his stomach like a master?
As usual, the food was divided. Mo Tiankong scooped a bowl of food for Auspicious, and the man and beast began to eat.
After eating, Mo Tiankong did not immediately go upstairs. He still leaned against the pomegranate tree and sat on the stone stool.
"System, why can't I connect to the internet here?" Sometimes, when he went upstairs early, Mo Tiankong would turn on the TV and play standalone games. If he could not connect to the internet, he could not play online games. His favorite game was League of Legends. Calculating the time, the most interesting game of the year should have already started.
Every day, he woke up to run the grocery store. He did not seem to want to play games. Of course, the truth was that he could not play games even if he wanted to. Now, he realized that running a store could help him get rid of his internet addiction.
"The rules of the world are different," the System replied.
Well, it would be strange if the internet could connect. Of course, whether the System could connect or not, Mo Tiankong did not know. He was too lazy to think about it.
If the internet could connect, then it would be interesting. If he started a live broadcast and let the people of Earth see the culture of the other world, it would probably become popular. After all, it was a martial arts world.
But it was just a thought. The System also said that the rules of the world were different. If the internet really connected, it would not be good for both worlds. Mo Tiankong guessed.
"System, do you have a gender? Are you a man or a woman?" Mo Tiankong felt that the current topic was too boring. He decided to ask for trouble.
"Host, do you want to become a woman? The System will satisfy you for free."
The System's words were a little cold. Wasn't it just asking about the gender? Mo Tiankong was really curious.
"Sorry to disturb," Mo Tiankong quietly put away Auspicious and walked upstairs.
