When Lin Fan came back to the register after putting the Song Bird in the cultivation room, the first thing he did was open up his system interface.
Since coming back from that cultivation realm, he had unlocked many new features after upgrading his shop to level one, which included the extra shop feature that he had unlocked.
Now that he had his first customer, he finally had some points to spend.
Thinking about how he had to give 99% of his revenue to the system, Lin Fan couldn't help shed a tear as he looked at the single crystal in his hand, but it was a good thing that the system had left him with anything.
Just this crystal alone was what normal people would earn from a few days of work, so it wasn't bad for a single sale.
The other crystals had all been converted into energy points with a ratio of one crystal to one point, so currently he had a total of 99 points.
But when Lin Fan looked into the mall, he couldn't help feeling depressed even with these points since every single item in the mall cost at least 100 points!
In the end, he could only drool over the various items that he couldn't afford. There were amazing items like legendary cultivation items or legendary pets, but their price reflected just how amazing they were. It had reached a point that Lin Fan couldn't even dream about reaching that point one day.
There were also several items that were quite basic, but their effects were still shocking to Lin Fan.
There was an item called the Monster Net that had a 100% chance of catching Iron and Bronze monsters, 50% chance of catching Silver monsters, 20% chance of catching Gold monsters, 10% chance of catching Platinum monsters, and 1% chance of catching Legendary monsters which only cost one hundred points!
Legendary monsters were already on the peak of this world's hierarchy. Legendary monsters were at the same level as Legendary Realm Beast Masters, which was the highest realm of cultivation one could reach in this world.
Lin Fan just sat at the register continuing to dream about all the amazing items he could obtain when he had enough points as time passed.
Time continued to pass until it was almost time to close the store.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen he was about to get up to clean up, there was the sound of the bell above the door.
Lin Fan turned over to see an elderly man walk into his store with a bird that was cloaked in flames resting on his shoulder.
The old man was visibly surprised by how the inside of the store looked since there was such a large disparity between the inside and outside of the store.
After being dazed for a few seconds, the old man walked over to Lin Fan to look him over before looking a bit disappointed.
Still even as disappointed as he was, he still asked, "Young man, do you have any pet food in this store? My little Yan Yan hasn't been feeling well lately and there's no store with food that he will eat."
When Lin Fan was about to tell this old man no, the bothersome system had something to say.
"Sudden quest has been activated."
"How can a pet shop not sell pet food? That won't do, my host."
"Please inform this gentleman that you do have pet food and make your way into the cultivation realm World of Elements to collect pet food."
Lin Fan was excited to do another mission since it meant that he would receive rewards, but he said internally, "That's fine, but how am I going to convince this man to stay?"
The system was silent for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.
"Out of consideration for the host, the system will be offering a 99% discount on low grade pet food."
"1 energy has been taken, the low grade pet food has been placed under the counter."
"..." Lin Fan really couldn't help be speechless at how efficient the system was when taking away his points.
Since there was no other choice, Lin Fan just had to continue with this mission.
"Unfortunately we're currently out of stock, but we do have one final pack of pet food available." Lin Fan said in a polite voice with what he considered a sincere smile.
The old man was a little put off by Lin Fan's smile, but still he decided to give the pet food a try since this was his dear pet.
"Young man, how much is this bag of pet food?"
"It's not that expensive sir, it's only two hundred crystals." Lin Fan said with the same smile.
"Oh, it's only two hundred...wait, you said crystals?" The old man had been raising the watch on his arm to pay, but then he suddenly jolted when he realized Lin Fan's unit of currency.
"Young man, are you certain that it's two hundred crystals and not credits?" The old man looked at Lin Fan like he was a scammer.
Lin Fan knew that this would happen, so he decided that he could only target the old man's weak spot, the pet on his arm.
"Sir, of course I mean two hundred crystals. Our pet food is made with the highest quality ingredients that not only nurture your pet, but will also satisfy their taste buds." Lin Fan said with the same smile.
The old man wasn't convinced at all. The more he looked at Lin Fan, the more he felt he was a scammer, especially with that smile on his face.
Seeing the old man pull back and how distrusting he was, Lin Fan used his final tactic.
He opened the bag and took out a small piece of pet food which he placed in front of the Inferno Hawk.
The moment the Inferno Hawk saw this piece of food, it was like it had been injected with chicken blood as he dove right at it. It snatched the piece of food up like it was catching prey and tossed it right down its mouth with a look of ecstasy on its face.
The old man was shocked when he saw this since his Yan Yan had been nothing but listless over the past few days. Suddenly seeing it filled with energy, this old man knew that this pet food worked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe still hesitated a bit over the price, but since it was what his Yan Yan loved, he didn't mind paying that much since he had no worries of money.
Finally, the old man decided to buy the bag of pet food.
Before he left, Lin Fan didn't forget to remind him, "Sir, that bag you have is only enough for a single day, so if you don't have as much money, feel free to mix it with other types of pet food."
The old man was shocked by this, "You're telling me that this bag is only enough for a single day? It costs this much and it's only enough for a single day?"
"Yes sir, but we will be receiving another shipment of pet food tomorrow, so feel free to come back and pick up some more." Lin Fan said with the same smile.
The old man really didn't know what to say when he saw that smile. He inwardly didn't want to come to this shady shop again, but since the pet food worked for his Yan Yan, he had no choice but to consider coming again.
In the end, the old man just left while saying, "We'll see."
Lin Fan didn't really mind, he knew that one couldn't just give up on the system's pet food after a single day. It was as addicting as drugs, but it was much more beneficial than them. If a pet was fed with the system's pet food for a long time, it even had a chance to evolve!
Watching the old man leave, Lin Fan went back to his own business, namely his second time in the World of Elements.
He looked at the clock and found that there was still an hour before he needed to head back for dinner, so he decided to get it over with right now.
While he was preparing to enter the World of Elements, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the language.
"System, can't you give me language skills?"
"Host, you may exchange for language skills in the shop."
"Oh, really?" Lin Fan opened the shop interface and found that there really was an item for the language of the World of Elements. Apparently it was something called the "Spirit Language".
Seeing that it only cost a hundred points, Lin Fan decided to exchange for it since he didn't want to be as helpless as last time.
After calling his three pets over and making sure that he was prepared, he had the system transfer him to the World of Elements.
Unfortunately for him, the system decided to drop him in the worst place possible.
It was a lake near the castle from last time and there was currently a person bathing inside said lake.
