On the next day, the membership came out. Since it was only an improvement on the shop’s business after Fang Qi opened the new shop instead of a task, he didn’t have to spend much energy on it. According to the rules, any customers who spent more than 800 crystals in the shop could get a membership for free.
Of course, the new customers could deposit 800 crystals in the shop and became a member as well.
In the early morning, Mr. Fang prepared a bowl of instant noodles and watched Zou Mo practice the Saint Spirit Sword Technique.
“800 Crystals?!” Ruan Ning desperately wanted to play the game, but she only came over to have a look to satisfy her eyes since she had her shop to manage during the day.
Right now, the same token of the Dragon-Slaying Saber hung at the door of her shop as well, and it was a dashing sight.
The moment that she saw the condition for the membership, her eyes almost jumped out of their sockets. “So expensive! President, do we have discounts as guild members?”
Fang Qi said in pity, “Sorry, no discount!”
Ruan Ning was furious that the membership needed 800 crystals, and she enjoyed no discount as a guild member!
How is this reasonable? she thought to herself.
– Meanwhile in the Jiuhua City Shop –
Song Qingfeng and others walked into the shop and saw a line of words in pretty handwriting on the small blackboard.
“Anyone who spent more than 800 crystals can have a free membership?!”
The members could have two extra hours of playtime, and the players with trial membership could upgrade it and enjoy two more hours of playtime a day!
They would have ten hours of playtime, which was almost twice of the previous six hours limit!
The application process was quite simple; they only needed to sign their names on the card made with special materials, and they would have extra hours of playtime.
Song Qingfeng’s spending had far surpassed 800 crystals. Now with this black card in his hand after the application process, he could play for ten hours each day! He was elated!
Meanwhile, Tao Kun and Huang Shan came into the shop with a large group of people and saw the announcement on the small blackboard as well.
To have two more hours of playtime, they had to deposit 800 crystals. It was fine for themselves, but they had a large group of people with them. If each of them paid 800 crystals, they would have to deposit tens of thousands of crystals in the shop! For now, they didn’t dare to do it!
Even though they had witnessed the power of the shop yesterday, it was still a new force after all, and they felt like its foundation wasn’t solid enough.
“Ugh... Brother Tao, what do you think?” Huang Shan asked immediately.
Tao Kun looked toward a middle-aged cultivator. This man was wearing a deep-blue robe, and he had a wide and full forehead.
“I’ll try it first. If it is indeed as great as what the Second Master said, I think each of the elite members of our Yuanheng Pavilion deserves to have this membership!” Tang Yuan was the First Master of Yuanheng Pavilion. After hearing about the destruction of the Red Forest Pharmacy and Tao Kun’s account about this shop, he decided to come with them to see how powerful this shop was in person.
Huang Shan’s face twitched as he thought, They sure are rich! They can afford to deposit tens of thousands of crystals in this shop!
Seeing the people behind them just standing there, Tao Kun scolded them, “Why are you still standing there?! Go and help First Master with leveling up!”
“Oh... yeah!” The people who came with them finally snapped out of the daze.
Then, Tao Kun walked to the counter and paid while cupping hands at Fang Qi. “Mr. Fang, with so many of us buying memberships, can we have a discount?”
“Sorry, but there’s no discount.” Fang Qi told them that there was no discount, even if they came in groups.
Tao Kun looked sulky. “Mr. Fang, that’s not a decent way of doing business!”
Fang Qi pointed at the words on the blackboard.
[Play if you want, but get out otherwise.]
“...”
“How long will it take before I spend 800 crystals?!” Ruan Ning complained, “It’s better to keep the money to myself than to deposit it in your stop. What if you run with the money? My cultivation strength is lower, and I’m no match for you! If that happens, all my savings will be gone!”
At this moment, the instant noodles were ready, and Fang Qi opened the lid.
“What is that?! It smells so good!” Ruan Ning sniffed and exclaimed, “What are you eating?!”
“Instant noodles.” Fang Qi opened a box of spicy sticks. The two different aromas of instant noodles and spicy sticks drifted to Ruan Ning nose, and she couldn’t bear it anymore. “I’m a guild member; can you share some food with me?”
“Only one stick,” Fang Qi said, “If you want more, you must buy them!”
“Stingy!” Despite her complaint, Ruan Ning quickly picked up one strip.
Fang Qi beckoned at Little Mo and told him to have a couple of spicy sticks.
“How can it be so delicious?!” While chewing the spicy stick that had a special spicy flavor, Ruan Ning almost screamed in appreciation!
“How much is one box?!”
“15 crystals!” Fang Qi mumbled with the instant noodles in his mouth.
“I’ll take one box!” Ruan Ning gritted her teeth. “And a bowl of instant noodles!”
“Do you want a sausage?” Fang Qi picked up the sausage in his bowl and bit into it.
“How much altogether?!”
“21 crystals.”
Ruan Ning suddenly felt like 800 crystals wouldn’t last long here.
“What’s this delicious aroma?!” At this moment, Tao Kun, Huang Shan, and the people who came with them were also tempted. “Sir! We’ll each take a box and a bowl as well!”
Soon, the aromas of instant noodles and spicy sticks permeated the entire internet cafe!
“Ahh! It smells so good!”
“So delicious!”
“Tsk! Tsk! The food can even purify the spiritual essence in the bodies! How can such good stuff exist?!”
...
After eating instant noodles, Fang Qi went online and resumed playing the Legend of Mir 2.
At this moment, about 70 people stood neatly in front of the newbie village. Except for a few who had iron swords or black wood swords, most of them had wooden swords, and all of them had cotton clothes.
“Brother Huang!” Tao Kun looked serious with a small smudge of instant noodle grease on the corner of his mouth. “Where is that Jiuhua Army that killed you yesterday? They claimed that they will kill anyone from our Morning Star Sea Realm! I want to see how they will do that!”
In the middle of the group was a middle-aged man who was wearing cotton clothes with a small wooden sword in his hand; his ID was Yuanheng. He said, “As you said, I can increase cultivation strength by killing monsters here! I tried it and found that the effects are very good! No one knows if there are hidden treasures in this world and where they are at. It means that we must establish our force in this world as soon as possible!”
“This way, we can increase our strengths faster!”
“Since those people claimed that they will kill all the people from our Morning Star Sea Realm, we must give them a taste of our strength!” He raised his small wooden sword and yelled, “Kill! Kill all the people who are a part of that Jiuhua Army! Don’t let any of them go!”
“Ugh... First Master, then what shall we do now?” Tao Kun asked.
“Send a few elites and take me to kill the rake cats!” Tang Yuan said in his resonant voice.
