Early the next morning, Zhang Tiannan was already waiting outside the Tang Residence. He asked the guard at the entrance to inform Fatty Tang to come out, then pulled him along as they walked towards the super grocery store.
"Brother Tiannan, why are we going so early? The store is right there. It's not like it can run away," Fatty Tang complained with a sleepy face.
Zhang Tiannan's heart was beating like a drum. Damn, he didn't know what time the grocery store opened. He didn't ask Store Manager Mo last time either.
"Well, I think the stores all open early. It's not like Hua Man Lou, which only opens at night. Look at the restaurant over there, isn't it already open?" Zhang Tiannan pointed at a restaurant on the side of the road and said.
Fatty Tang felt that this made sense. He didn't say anything and continued walking with Zhang Tiannan.
After about half an hour, the two of them arrived at the grocery store. They were stunned. They looked left and right. The stores on the side were all open, except for the grocery store.
"Fatty Tang, you haven't eaten breakfast, right? Why don't we go to the teahouse over there and have some tea and something to eat while we wait?" Zhang Tiannan said brightly. He thought to himself that he must ask Boss Mo about the opening time later.
Fatty Tang was a little depressed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have opened the store and wouldn't have been able to come later. Now that it was too late to say anything, the two of them simply walked into the teahouse across the street.
They chose a table by the window on the second floor and ordered a pot of tea and some food. Then, they sat on the chairs and ate as they waited.
On the other side of the store, Mo Tiankong was lying on the big bed on the second floor. His face was tilted to one side and his mouth was still chewing. Upon closer inspection, he still looked like he was sleeping. Who knew what delicious food he was dreaming of. Suddenly, with a bang, he sat up at the same place and in the same way.
"Host, it's 9: 30. Based on the host's procrastination, he should be able to wash up and open the store in half an hour." The System's despicable voice sounded in his mind again.
"System, you're going to scare me to death if you continue like this." Mo Tiankong felt really helpless. For the past few days, the System had been using the same method to wake him up every day. It was beautiful in his dreams, but when he woke up, his heart was in turmoil. Mo Tiankong felt that he might become the first person in the army of transmigrators to be scared to death by the System.
"If the host can't develop good habits, the System has the obligation to urge the host to change his habits," the System retorted as soon as Mo Tiankong finished speaking.
Mo Tiankong was speechless. He did not want to compete with the System. He cursed the System in his heart and got up to wash up.
When he opened the store door, the sun was just right. He stretched comfortably. It was a habit from Earth. When he saw the sun, his heart felt beautiful. If it was raining, he would feel inexplicably depressed.
It was another sunny day in the Other World. He had been here for many days. Although business was not good and no one asked about it, the sun had been shining brightly these days. He was in a good mood. Just as he was about to move a small folding stool to sit in front of the store, he saw two people walking in a straight line. They were probably heading for the store. Was there going to be business?
He braced himself and stood at the door. When he got closer, he saw that one of them was Zhang Tiannan, and the other person. What the f * ck! He cursed. Looking at that round face and that graceful figure, wasn't that the Maitreya Buddha? He had only seen the statue of Buddha on Earth, but in the Other World, he had seen the real Buddha. His heart was in turmoil, but his face did not show it. He greeted Zhang Tiannan.
"Young Master Zhang, you're so early."
"Store Manager Mo, it's not early. We've been waiting for three hours," Zhang Tiannan said with a bit of bitterness. He had been waiting after eating something in the teahouse. Who would have thought that he would wait for three hours? It was almost noon. How could he do business like this?
When Mo Tiankong heard this, he thought, "Did this idiot Zhang Tiannan not see the small blackboard on the wall of the cashier? He didn't even look at the store rules." Looking at Zhang Tiannan's expression, he felt that it was basically expected. "You didn't look at it, so how can you blame me?" He could only say that he deserved it.
He changed the topic. "There, do you see the wall by the cashier? The store rules and business hours are all written there. This brother is …" He thought about it and decided to remind him. After all, he was his first customer. Then, he pointed at the Maitreya Buddha, ahem, Fatty Tang.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him. This is my good brother, Tang Ran, the second young master of the Tang family, one of the four great families in Sentry Town. Store Manager Mo, you can call him Fatty Tang. I promised the store manager that I would introduce some business to him after I broke through, so I brought him here today." Zhang Tiannan first introduced Fatty Tang before he saw the small blackboard on the wall.
"Store Manager Mo, hello, hello. My name is Tang Ran. You can call me Fatty Tang. Store Manager Mo, do you really have snacks that can perfectly and quickly increase one's cultivation level?" As someone who had been in society for a long time, Tang Ran was naturally more familiar with the ways of the world than Zhang Tiannan.
As soon as Zhang Tiannan finished speaking, he stepped forward and introduced himself. He also lowered his attitude. When he was waiting in the teahouse, he had heard Zhang Tiannan talk about the store and the things to pay attention to. There was at least a Martial Emperor behind the store. If you provoked the store owner, you would be suppressed. Zhang Tiannan's Wuzong level bodyguard had been crippled, so he had no choice but to lower his attitude.
"Of course we have the items. Our store is honest with both the old and the young. Young Master Zhang has already broken through. However, I suggest that you take a look at the store's rules first." Mo Tiankong thought for a moment, then reminded them to take a look at the store's rules first. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to explain every time. Besides, wasn't it written to remind them to take a look?
Hearing this, the two of them followed Mo Tiankong into the store and looked at the small blackboard on the cashier's wall.
The first rule was that the store was open from 10 am to 10 pm. The store would close on time.
When Fatty Tang saw this rule, he glanced at Zhang Tiannan with hidden bitterness. His gaze seemed to say, "Your sister, you didn't even look at the store's hours. You hurriedly dragged me here so early to drink tea for three hours." Zhang Tiannan immediately felt a little embarrassed. "Why are you looking at me? Last time, I came and went in a hurry. Who knew that there would be a small blackboard hanging on the wall?"
The second rule was that the owner was not to be provoked in the store. Violators would be punished according to the severity of the offense. The punishment was divided into three levels: suppression, crippling, or death.
When Zhang Tiannan saw this rule, he came back to his senses. Luckily, he hadn't been stubborn before. Otherwise, the grass on his grave would be three feet high. Even if the old man came, he probably wouldn't be able to beat the expert behind this store. In a fight between people of the same level, it was easy to determine the winner, but it was more difficult to kill the opponent. Especially if the opponent's cultivation level seemed to be higher than the old man's.
The third rule was that all items sold in the store were not to be haggled over.
The fourth rule was that all items in the store were limited to one purchase per person per week.
Currently, there were only these three rules in the store. After Zhang Tiannan and Fatty Tang read them, they committed them to memory.
After seeing that the two of them had finished looking, he led them to the left side of the hall. There was a row of containers placed there, and only one container was filled with things. He pointed to the items inside and said to Fatty Tang.
"Currently, there are only three items in the store. Young Master Zhang should have told you about their specific effects."
Although Zhang Tiannan had said it, Fatty Tang still carefully looked at them.
"Wangzai Small Mantou" was made from the tendons of Wuzong grade Snow Cows in the Eastern Xuan Region's Savage Beast Forest. It was crispy and delicious. It tasted sweet and melted in the mouth. There were five pieces in a pack. One piece per day. There were no side effects. When eaten together with "Wangzai QQ Candy" and "Wangzai QQ Candy", it could perfectly increase one's strength by one grade. It was sold for 10 spirit stones per pack.
"Wang Zai QQ Candies" were soft candies made from the tendons and veins of the Eastern Profound Domain's Martial Grandmaster Snow Ox. The taste was pure and natural, and the granules were crystal clear. Combined with the unique bite, the taste was just right. There were five granules in a pack, and it was recommended to eat one a day. There were no side effects, and it could temper the body and increase the strength of the body. When eaten together with "Wang Zai Little Mantou", one could perfectly reach the level of a Level One Martial Artist. The price was ten spirit stones per pack.
"Wangzai milk was made from the milk of Wuzong grade Snow Cows in the Eastern Xuan Region's Savage Beast Forest. It was sweet and delicious. It could cleanse the marrow and bones, increase one's aptitude, and clear the body of hidden injuries. It could only be consumed once in the Martial Practitioner realm. It could create a perfect foundation for the Martial Practitioner realm. It was sold for 80 spirit stones per pack.
While Fatty Tang and the others were looking, Mo Tiankong hurriedly asked the System. Previously, the System had notified him that not only had Zhang Tiannan broken through to the Martial Master realm, he had also become a Grade Two Martial Master.
"System, why did Zhang Tiannan break through two grades in a row? Isn't the Wangzai Three-Piece Set only effective for Martial Practitioners?"
"When Zhang Tiannan consumed the Wangzai milk, he cleansed his marrow and cleared the hidden injuries in his body. His accumulation in the Martial Practitioner realm allowed him to naturally break through to the Martial Master realm. As for the Wangzai Small Mantou and Wangzai QQ, they would not be able to break through to Grade One Martial Master after consuming one pack. However, when he was in seclusion, he had accumulated a large amount of Yuan Qi. The combination of the two allowed him to finally break through to Grade Two Martial Master." As for the Wangzai Three-Piece Set, it is only effective for Martial Practitioners to raise one grade, but it is not completely useless for Martial Masters. It requires about six full packs to raise one grade. However, for Martial Practitioners, it is not enough. The medicinal strength is not comparable to the medicinal pills used by Wuzong Martial Practitioners, so it is useless for Wuzong Martial Practitioners. Does the host understand? "The System slowly explained.
After listening to the System's explanation, Mo Tiankong understood. The Wangzai Three-Piece Set was most effective for Martial Practitioners, but it could still be used for Martial Masters. It was fast enough for Martial Practitioners to raise four grades in a month, but it was also super fast for Martial Masters to raise one grade in a month. Just look at how many medicinal pills Zhang Tiannan had consumed since he started cultivating. It took him three years to reach the peak of Grade Nine. In other words, as long as he had money, he could reach the Martial Master realm in two and a half months, and reach Wuzong in one year and three months. Wasn't that scary? Even geniuses could not advance so quickly. Here was the explanation for why Martial Practitioners could raise four grades in a month, and Martial Masters could raise one grade in one and a half months.
"Because the System has a purchase limit, you can only purchase it once a week." There were only four weeks in a month, so you could only purchase it four times.
After communicating with the System, Fatty Tang was shocked by the price in front of him. Although Zhang Tiannan had said that it was expensive, when he saw the price, his face darkened. Was this expensive? This was daylight robbery. Thinking about the shop rules he had read before, he held himself back. Thinking about how he could break through to Martial Master in half a month and not be thrown into seclusion, he suppressed his heartache and prepared to buy one set.
