Chapter 73: Häagen-Dazs and the Birth of Sword Immortal!

In truth, the shop expansion Fang Qi favored most was simply extending directly from his own current shop.

The second choice would be the city center.

However, Fang Qi's shop was mostly surrounded by residential houses, and unless he used raw power and authority, no one would be willing to sell.

Therefore, Fang Qi had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and look at the shops across the street.

Flight was forbidden within Jiuhua City, so even the nobility used carriages for transportation; by the time he stepped off his carriage and returned to the eastern corner of Jiuhua City, dusk had already fallen.

The shops across the street faced away from Fang Qi, forming the outermost row of buildings in the entire district's streets, and they had been intended for commercial use from the very beginning.

This street was clearly much more spacious than the one in front of Fang Qi's shop.

Commoners did not necessarily mean the impoverished.

Clearly, to own a proper house in such a grand city, even if the location was a bit remote, could absolutely never be considered poor.

Consequently, many of the shops on the front street were related to cultivators and warriors; the smaller ones sold miscellaneous goods like Fang Qi's shop originally did, while the larger ones operated restaurants featuring beast meat, or sold weapons, and there were even pawnshops.

Scanning across, the shops along the entire street were actually quite lively, but Fang Qi did not care about that; what he cared about was whether any of the shop owners had the intention to transfer ownership.

...

By the time Fang Qi finished handling these matters and returned to his shop, he took a look inside.

Xiaoyue, why does it feel a bit deserted today? Fang Qi cast a strange glance around the shop.

How did you come back alone!? Jiang Xiaoyue's eyes widened. Didn't they all go out to look for him? In the end, the people looking for him were nowhere to be found, yet Fang Qi had returned by himself?!

What do you mean came back alone? Fang Qi looked at his single self; wasn't it perfectly normal to return alone? Is it possible that going out for a good time requires bringing a girlfriend back?

What is a girlfriend? Jiang Xiaoyue naturally could not understand such modern terms. She looked behind Fang Qi and suddenly froze. You brought a whole bunch?

What whole bunch? Fang Qi felt that the more he explained to this girl, the more confusing it became. He said solemnly, Is this owner the kind of person who opens a harem just because he has money?!

Fang Qi suddenly heard a massive flurry of footsteps behind him. Turning his head, he saw a dense crowd of people walking swiftly toward the shop outside the door.

The boss is here! Nalan Hongwu shouted and was the first to enter.

Immediately after, An Huwei, Song Qingfeng, An Cheng, Bai Lang, and all the others rushed into the shop in a single file!

...What on earth are you guys doing?! Fang Qi was stunned.

Looking at the crowd behind Fang Qi, Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly burst into a fit of laughter!

Fang Qi reached out, pinched her cheeks, and stretched them to both sides: Try laughing again?!

Jiang Xiaoyue's pink, chubby face was forcefully pinched into a hilarious, flat pancake face; how could she possibly laugh now?

While raising her middle finger, she showed her utter disdain: ...

Only then did Fang Qi set down his bags with satisfaction: I brought you a box of local specialty delicacies from Tianfu Street market. If you laugh again, you won't get to eat it.

...

Thank you, Boss!

Although she was still indignant about the cheek-pinching incident just now, she still happily scampered off to eat her food.

...

You kid, where did you run off to today? Even the city guards couldn't find you? An Huwei anxiously pulled Fang Qi and said, Come, come, come, look at my different skill-point allocation plans!

Start the game first! Let the boss start the game first! Someone immediately shouted from the side.

No... I just got back and haven't even rested yet, what game are we playing?! Fang Qi's face darkened, And as for your skill points, is this even a proper build? How do you have the nerve to ask me which one? None of them will work!

Exactly, Father, stop joining in on the chaotic fun and wasting our time. See, Sect Master Ye was sensible enough to return to his sect. Let Boss Fang start the game first. An Cheng spoke up from the side.

Because there were some matters to handle within the sect, Ye Songtao had already led his people back. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to leave a word saying he would settle the score with Fang Qi tomorrow.

What game are we starting?

Diablo, of course! Hurry up and play! Nalan Hongwu said, glaring with his beard blowing up.

Are we still farming Duriel today? Young Master Li and I are still waiting to watch! Lin Shao spoke up.

Fang Qi glanced at the system panel:

Claim rewards now?

I almost forgot, the missions are already completed. Claim! Fang Qi took another look at the prices for Legend of Sword and Fairy and Haagen-Dazs:

Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 Virtual Reality Remastered Edition

Activation Price: 20 Crystals

Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream

Price: 5 Crystals

Although I knew a high-end snack like Haagen-Dazs wouldn't be cheap, what kind of trick... is this again? Fang Qi asked the system, dumbfounded.

It's understandable that activating Legend of Sword and Fairy 1 costs 20 crystals, after all, the first two acts of Diablo cost 18 crystals, but you are selling a snack for this much money?!

Just then, Fang Qi noticed a line of small text appearing beneath the Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream on the system panel:

This ice cream is based on the original Haagen-Dazs ice cream recipe, utilizing even more rigorous and exquisite ingredient selection. The fresh milk is entirely sourced from specially bred cattle modeled after the finest Holstein cows, which underwent further crossbreeding and generations of selection to yield the ultimate dairy breed; milk extraction is strictly limited in volume to ensure the cows produce milk naturally, unlike the massive over-milking common in certain famous dairy farms that severely damages the health of the cows.

The vanilla used in this ice cream is made from sufficiently aged Spiritual Fragrance Grass harvested from the depths of remote spiritual mountains where few humans ever set foot; its aroma is more intense, pure, and authentic than Madagascar vanilla.

This ice cream...

Fang Qi stared at the massive amount of introduction below, thoroughly stunned: After reading so much, why does it feel like it still can't increase one's cultivation level? And this time, it doesn't even have the mind-soothing function of Sprite!

The system replied: A sufficiently outstanding flavor possesses enough power to turn the mundane into the miraculous; it does not require any other functions.

Fang Qi gave a thumbs up and said speechlessly, ...Selling it even more expensively without any special function, you're truly incredible!

Please evaluate after trying it. The system's voice sounded.

...Amidst everyone's anxious and impatient gazes, Fang Qi did not walk to the computer desk but instead walked up to the freezer.

What are you going to do over there? Could it be that Sprite is back in stock? Everyone was completely bewildered.

Then hurry up and get a bottle of Sprite for each of us! Nalan Hongwu barked, Bring it over quickly so we can play the game!

Just then, everyone saw Fang Qi take out an exquisitely packaged small round box from the freezer.

What is this thing? Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

A new product that just arrived today. Fang Qi said word by word, Haagen-Dazs!
