Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World-Novel



Chapter 86 – Florida Man Travels Abroad for a Month and Leaves His Infant Daughter Home

After sending Wu Buyi away, Leo visited the clothing store. He wondered what the weird mannequin was doing after he had assigned her a job.

Upon getting into the clothing store, Leo dropped his jaw. He thought that he entered a woman's fashion store – Glittering evening dresses lined up in rows and stacked into a wall. After a rough counting, there were at least 200 or so.

The cat-eared mannequin tilted her head when she saw Leo, but her thousand small needle arms never stopped weaving a new dress.

Leo picked one of them up. It was a one-piece dress that Hollywood actresses loved to wear as it revealed a lot of skin. However, there was something special. As Leo touched the dress, the clothing store menu appeared and revealed the attributes of the cloth.

.

Evening Dress of Virgin Yin Yang

Made from the skin of a supreme being. Grant physical attack immunity effects to the wearer. Cannot be destroyed by Qi attacks or physical attacks. Automatically provide yin and yang element essence to the wearer.

You're not planning to wear this, are you?

.

"…"

Leo frowned as the system mocked him. He facepalmed and looked at the cat-ear mannequin.

"Alright. I guess it's time for you to try something new."

Leo explored the online shopping system and purchased something he always wanted to have – a pair of shorts! The temperature never went over 70 Fahrenheit (21 Celsius) at noon, and it dropped to 50 (10 Celsius) at night. However, as someone who had lived 50,000 years in a freezing cold world, this world's temperature was uncomfortable. He always had the urge to take off his robes and roll with his trusty shorts. 

He bought the softest shorts that beach-goers loved. Then, he passed it to the maid mannequin. 

"Make this instead. I need five of these for my daily wear. I'm tired of wearing loose robes."

"…"

The cat ear maid took the shorts and inspected them. She nodded several times and resumed making the last evening dress. This time, she didn't bother asking for Leo's skin as if she still had plenty of energy to make more threads. 

DING

<You have researched swim shorts.>

<Your automaton will try to create a better version of swim shorts.>

Leo left the worker alone. While he was at it, he updated the clothing store's status. 

.

Clothing Store Level 8

Automaton Worker (0/5)

Automaton Weaver – (1/5)

Weaver Skills – (5/5) MAX

Store Quality – (2/5)

[Upgrade] – 1,000 Years of Lifespan

[Research]

.

Leo thought about adding more workers, but the quality was a must. Currently, the clothing store still required a lot of improvement as the interior was too small, compared to the other buildings. 90% of the interior was made of wood, which didn't suit the atmosphere of a clothing store.

'Before those women return, I should get this store ready. There are a lot of things to buy – display mannequins, cloth hangers, cloth displays, and changing rooms. Hell, I don't think level 3 or 4 in a quality store is enough. I need to max that, but I might need to upgrade the general store to level 11. Then… the store will be vulnerable… DAMMIT!'

Leo scratched his head, having a headache. He couldn't figure out how he could improve the security in his shop domain in a week as Hua Jiashan and his subordinates were too weak.

He required a more useful underling.

'Haiya. I wish this world was like one of those Chinese s. I wish a protagonist or heaven's chosen one would visit my store and serve me or something. I need a super strong guy, goddammit!'

.

"ACHOOO!!"

Gao Yan sneezed while he listened to Wu Buyi's instructions. He rubbed his nose in confusion, wondering how a cultivator like him got sick.

Wu Buyi smirked at Gao Yan, "What? Are you nervous that I choose you?"

After Leo entrusted Wu Buyi to select someone to come along, the latter went directly to his core disciple, Gao Yan. He was in the middle of teaching his disciple survival skills.

Before Wu Buyi could finish lecturing, Gao Yan sneezed and interrupted him. The former was amused.

"Seriously, cultivators like us rarely get sick, but you actually sneeze? It appears that you haven't solidified your foundation enough. A foundation establishment stage cultivator should be immune to common diseases and illnesses, except external poison. Well, it's different if you cultivate poison element."

Gao Yan tilted his head and showed his master a spirit stone, which Leo had distributed to every disciple as compensation for the previous incident. As it came directly from the recycling center, it contained all types of element Qi.

"Actually, master. I think I'll be able to cultivate a new element soon. I can somewhat manipulate fire and water now, thanks to Senior Florida Man's spirit stone."

"YOU WHAT?!"

Wu Buyi almost vomited blood when he noticed the quality of the spirit stone. It was a hundred times better than spirit stones in the market as its Qi was fresh and thick. Even Wu Buyi was jealous that Gao Yan had it.

Gao Yan also dropped a light bomb, revealing his little secret.

"Also, master. When I went up to the flying island, I had a thought. What if I cultivate all elements at the same time and harmonize them this way? Will that work? Also, I sensed that on the island, there's a lot of an unknown element Qi. I think it's related to wind or storm? Master, what do you think?"

"…"

Wu Buyi widened his eyes and looked at Gao Yan in disbelief. He pressed his finger on Gao Yan's left wrist to feel his pulse and his internal Qi. Then, he sensed multiple elemental Qi inside him.

Fire Qi, Water Qi, Earth Qi, Metal Qi, Wind Qi, Poison Qi, and Wood Qi swirled inside him. Moreover, his virgin blood produced thick yang Qi, maintaining his bodily balance.

"You… are you really my disciple?" Wu Buyi was speechless.

"Of course, I am. Why?"I think you should take a look at

Wu Buyi suddenly burst into laughter. He thought that he had hit the jackpot.

Gao Yan was not just talented, but he might be a genius that every major sect craved for. If Wu Buyi managed to nurture Gao Yan well, the latter might grow up into a supreme expert, surpassing every quasi-immortal in this world.

"I'm glad I chose you, Gao Yan! Very well, I'll make you the strongest alchemist in Yan Empire!"

"…Okay?"

"Be more enthusiastic, damn brat! Recite what I taught you earlier! What will you do if you encounter a stronger monster beast in the mystic realm?!"

"Err… Oh, right. Toss meat at it and slowly walk backward while staring at the monster!"

"Good. What about multiple beasts?"

"Throw a pheromone potion and a blood pack at one of them. Then, run."

"Good. What about a weaker monster?"

"Catch it ASAP!"

"YOU FOOL!"

BONK!

Wu Buyi smacked Gao Yan's head and scolded him, "You can't tame monster beasts! Only soul-formation cultivators or stronger cultivators like Lord Florida Man can tame them!"

The lecture continued…

.

.

The next day morning, Leo and Wu Buyi instructed the disciples to resume their routines and cultivate diligently as they would leave the domain for at least two weeks.

The disciples weren't stupid. They had seen the mystic realm portal platform, and they figured that Wu Buyi and Leo would join the seasonal expedition. Thus, they looked at Gao Yan in envy.

"Lucky you."

"Damn ass kisser."

"Hey, he's Elder Wu's disciple for a reason."

"Tsk!"

Not everybody was happy with Gao Yan, who was chosen behind the scene.

Seeing their expressions, Leo figured out how they felt. He came up with a solution.

"Because of my absence, your work might be more difficult. Therefore, I'll give everybody here a bonus. For every day you do your job perfectly, I'll give you one spirit stone. Don't be sad, okay?"

Hearing that they would get one spirit stone per day, the disciples were delighted. Nobody was mad anymore.

After calming the angry crowd, Leo led Wu Buyi and Gao Yan to the elevator. They then ascended to the flying platform while the disciples sent them off.

Upon getting back to the portal, Leo rechecked Gao Yan and Wu Buyi's status and belongings. As usual, they didn't carry anything on them except a few rings. On the other hand, Leo came with a backpack, full of water supply and a box of grain pills and water element grain pills for emergency.

As everybody was ready, Leo activated the portal. The flying ring stopped spinning. It began consuming Qi and created a three-meter diameter oval portal.

<The portal will close in 34 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 57 seconds. Good luck.>

For once, the system finally gave Leo some quests. He was excited to see something different.

Meanwhile, Wu Buyi and Gao Yan couldn't see the quest panel or the system screen. They gazed at the portal and gulped, waiting for Leo to take the lead.

WHOOSH

The wind on the platform got stronger, and Gao Yan fell to his knees as he couldn't maintain his balance. Wu Buyi immediately grabbed his disciple's collar and dragged him to the portal first.

After seeing the two eager cultivators crossing the gate, Leo followed them. But before he went in, he glanced at the four statues.

For an unknown reason, Leo felt like they were laughing at him. He wondered what they were. He ignored them and entered the portal.

As soon as Leo crossed the gate into another world, the ball-like cat statue let out a sound again.
