According to rumors, in the newly opened High Immortal Arcade Game Hall, the Heaven Oracle finally invited a streak of the immortal soul of the ancient Tianji Zi to enter his body and broke into the Heavenly Secrets by force. After six successive calculations, he finally won on the shop’s Zhou Yi Divination Machine and won close to 6,000 Black Essence Immortal Crystals from the shop. It had become a legend circulating in this region.

Some people claimed that High Immortal Arcade Game Hall went broke, some people saw that the old shop owner became a homeless on the streets, and some said that Heaven Oracle had damaged his vital essence by forcing himself to calculate the Heavenly Secrets and thus couldn’t do divination for a long time.

Right now, the shop had just closed for the day. People like Gu Tingyun, Nalan Hongwu, and Zong Wu each had a big bag of Black Essence Immortal Crystals in their hands. While exchanging a look with each other, their faces darkened. “Old Ghost Zong, how come I feel like we can even buy the Saint Emperor Mountain if we continue doing this business for a few more months…”

“I agree.”

“Now that we’re famous…” Gu Tingyun was holding the plan drawn by Nalan Mingxue. “According to the plan, we should promote mobile games now, right? With so much money, we can easily build a local network in this area.”

“Yeah. Later, we’ll go and buy this whole street. A part of it can be changed into warehouses, and a part of it can be built into an exclusive specialty shop as mentioned by the shop owner.”

While they were talking, two pairs of eyes stared at the countless immortal crystals in the shop in darkness.

“Should we…” a voice said coldly.

“Don’t even think about it!” another voice warned, “The shop has a master behind it who is stronger than Xuanji Zi in divination. Do you think that you can escape from them with your loot?! Even the eight prehistoric families welcome them, so we’d better not mess with them. Let’s go! This deal is not for us.”

At this moment, Mr. Fang glanced at the task and almost jumped up. “Only 6 percent from the target?! What happened?!”

…

– A few days later –

– In the High Immortal Arcade Game Hall in Innumerable-Immortal Sea –

Coach Wang entered the shop and saw that a small display zone had been set up. Strange white jades with the logo of a rotten apple on the back were on display.

Of course, he recognized the icon of an apple since he saw apples every day.

“Shop Owner, what are these?” Coach Wang asked curiously.

“They are portable learning machines!” Gu Tingyun said,

“They are so small. What can we learn from it?!” Coach Wang was even more puzzled. “By the way, have you considered my offer of buying these spiritual artifacts?”

Obviously, he cared more about these spiritual artifacts.

“Good question,” Gu Tingyun said, “But for now, those spiritual artifacts are not for sale. However, these spiritual artifacts are a portion of the products that are being sold to test the market. The first batch is only 10,000 pieces. We’ll stop selling when they run out.”

“What’s its use?” Coach Wang picked up one and turned it around to study it.

Gu Tingyun picked up one and turned it on. There was an icon with a golden dragon in the background while the words ‘Journey to the War’ lay on top. The other was a game icon with the word ‘Fantasy’.

“Look, there are two learning programs in it. One is the learning program called Journey to the War. The other is the learning program Fantasy Westward Journey.”

[TL Note: These are both popular games in China. Journey to the War, A.K.A Zhengtu, and Fantasy Westward Journey are MMORPG. Fantasy Westward Journey is built on Journey to the West.]

“The first one is more costly. Let’s try the learning program Fantasy Westward Journey.” He clicked on the icon with the word ‘Fantasy’ and created a character. Immediately, an exquisite virtual figure hovered in mid-air.

“Look at the visualization of meridians and the demonstration of skills. After learning the skills, you can see the hand seals for casting spiritual spells, pity formulas, and the routes of spiritual essence circulation. After cultivation, the user can engage in virtual battles with other owners of learning machines or monsters. In Fantasy Westward Journey, the users have all kinds of learning methods such as chained-quests; in Journey to the War, there are all kinds of virtual battles between nations, so the users can deepen their understanding of spiritual spells, techniques, and cultivation methods that they have learned.”

“This…” Coach Wang’s eyes brightened. “If this is the case, the disciples of our Saint Emperor Mountain will need to each have one of these learning machines!”

He reached out and pulled over a disciple randomly. “Yao Ji, you guys come and try this.”

…

One day later, when Mr. Fang woke up…

[Ding! The System finished the upgrade.]

[System Upgrade Task: Acquire Many Energy Crystals

Task Description: Be a truly excellent shop owner and earn as much money as you can!

Task Reward: Mysterious gift bag of a mythological TV Series (contains the TV Series activation right and a treasure from it)]

[Do you want to claim the task reward?]

“It’s finished so soon!?” Fang Qi remembered that he had done nothing except for attending a few meetings, playing some games, and cultivating for some time in the Cultivation Room this month, but the task had finished just like that?!

“So soon?!” Mr. Fang replied eagerly, “Yes!”

Soon, a gift bag with golden shiny light appeared before him.

When he opened it, a light that belonged to a godly weapon shot up into the sky!

Even the shop that was under the operation of the System couldn’t contain this light. Su Tianji and others who were about to enter the shop this morning felt like the Heaven and Earth even shook.

[Mythical TV Series, Investiture of the Gods, is activated!]

[You obtained the spiritual treasure, God-Thrashing Whip.]

[TL Note: Although its name is a whip, it is more like a wooden stick.]

Su Tianji hurried into the shop and exclaimed, “Sir?! What’s happening?! Is Investiture of the Gods released?!”

She looked at the small blackboard in the shop and saw all the previous games and movies had been erased. There were four big worlds on it – [Investiture of the Gods]!

“It’s indeed released-!?”

– In the Canglan City Shop –

Elf Queen Kellybel stood before some elves and said solemnly with her hands on her hips, “For the record, it’s been a long while, and the scummy shop owner hasn’t released Investiture of the Gods yet. So when it’s out, we’ll boycott it just to make him worry.”

“Do you hear me?!”

“Yes!”

“Humph! That’s more like it!” With great efforts, Kellybel had finally obtained some authority among the clumsy elves by livestreaming all kinds of skills in God of War. She looked delighted at the result.

At this moment, someone in the shop yelled, “Investiture of the Gods is released!”

“Ahya-! I’ll watch it!”

“Rowling, wait for me!”

“Slow down-!”

They all ran into the shop.

In less than one second, Kellybel found that all the elves had left her.

“You… you guys-!” Kellybel’s pretty face turned red in anger. “How can you do this?!”

“Hurry! Or there will be no seats left!” someone yelled.

“Wait! Save a spot for me-!” Kellybel immediately rushed into the shop.

Seeing an empty chair, she was about to pull it out and sit down when Mr. Fang plunked on it smoothly with a bowl of instant noodles in his hands!

“Today, the seats are in high demand.” Mr. Fang slurped the instant noodles and said casually, “The people without a seat must wait for a while.”

Kellybel’s pretty face turned red in fury. Staring at the bowl of instant noodles in the despicable shop owner’s hands, she had the urge to grab it and pour the hot soup onto the scum shop owner’s head!

“Ahhhh-!” Not able to watch Investiture of the Gods, she felt like dying!

At this moment, on Mr. Fang’s screen, grand chime-bell music sounded.

Investiture of the Gods began…
