Chapter 1 - The Small Shop (1/2)
Bright Sun Empire, the capital city of the Northern Wind Kingdom.
Within the bustling city, the streets were filled with people, and the haggling of prices could be heard everywhere in the streets. On both sides of the roads were large buildings, and guards were standing at the entrance of each building. Every building was a shop, selling different resources to the people.
The resources because everyone in the city was cultivators. Every small shop to big shop was selling their things to the cultivators. Every street was filled with cultivators who were buying and selling items.
Among the shops, two shops controlled the whole market of the capital city, Wind Auction House and Moon Palace. The Wind Auction House was even more crowded, and its business was booming because the royal family owned the auction house.
Within the capital city, the buildings were built very neatly. The royal army handled the order to the town. In every street in the town, the order was maintained, and rules were followed.
If you were to follow the main road for Royal Palace, on which both Wind Auction House and Moon Palace are situated, and you walked past them and moved toward to entrance of the city for dozens of meters. Walking straight to the outer area and continue walking till you reached city walls you would see a small shop in between houses.
The outer area of the city was for poor people. The whole outer space was filled with poor cultivators who didn't have enough money to buy resources and was ready to do odd jobs. A boy was sitting in front of the shop. He had a slim figure. His long white hair, along with his hem, was tied into a knot. He gave off a feeling of sage.
”Still no customers.” The Young man, Fang Chen, opened his eyes and yawned. He was sitting on the chair and was sleeping in it, waiting for the customers. He stood up and stretched a little bit, and went inside the shop.
Fang Chen, a twenty-one-year-old male, was an ordinary but ambitious MBA pass-out from the earth. While coming back home, he died in an accident. He suddenly found himself in the body of a person with the same name and age and found himself in another world, with a system calling itself
which made its presence known when Fang Chen woke up.
Fang Chen created the shop on the same day with the help of the system. Even though ten days have passed since he woke up and established a shop, not a single customer showed up.
Fang Chen had already gotten used to it. He had to follow the
instruction and check the prices of the things available in the market. He would go to the inner area and ask for the costs of different resources as observed by the customers in other shops.
Once Fang Chen was back in the shop, he looked at the empty counters and sighed. Even the shop was small and simple, it was very well arranged. With an area of twenty square meters and four counters, it was indeed a small shop.
As he looked at the empty counters, Fang Chen couldn't help but give a long sigh. The instructions on the shop were hung on an exquisite board. It was hard to imagine who would be stupid enough to pawn their things if they could see the instructions. The instruction listed could only describe as ridiculous.
A person who wants to pawn anything will not be able to get their desired price. No loaning will be allowed. You can forget about your things if you would not pay the interest in Spirit stones.
