Chapter 578: How Come There Is Such an Oriental Man?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
“Such an eye-sore.” Seeing the young people walking into the shop, the man standing beside the flowerbed outside the shop said with displeasure. This man had short blond hair that was neatly combed back, and he carried a big sword on his back while wearing a s.h.i.+ny suit of armor.
“What is it? Did someone mess with you, Big Sword Crete?” Beside him, a lean and short man whistled as his fingers played with a small and delicate dagger.
Mr. Fang had opened his shop in the busy section of the city. Nearby was the Mercenary Union, and Alchemist Union wasn’t far away as well.
The blond warrior pointed at the shop and said in resentment, “I mean that oriental man who came from nowhere.”
“Ahh-!” The short man snickered and dragged on his voice as he said flippantly, “An oriental man? The one who went to the Alchemist Union this morning? Did he offend you?”
“This guy doesn’t know his limits. He set several new records in the low-level mystic realms.” The blond man carrying the big sword looked at the shop sulkily and said, “I wonder which wealthy family he comes from. He dares to open a cultivation mystic realm in this place.”
“His moves seem to be quite fancy, and I heard that ‘Fiery Rose’ in the union is fond of him. I remember that you had set some of the records he broke, right? Crete? He doesn’t have any respect for his seniors, which is indeed infuriating.”
“Humph! He is showing off his combat techniques blatantly since he isn’t weak.”
“Should we…” The short one whispered, “Give this foreigner a lesson?”
“A few customers went in. Let’s… frighten them out of the shop!”
“Ruin his reputation!”
“Good idea! Give him a taste of the power of our Golden Sunlight Mercenary Group!”
…
– Meanwhile, in Fang Qi’s shop –
“What is this Resident Evil 2 Cultivation Mystical Realm?!” The brown-haired young man with freckles looked around the shop curiously and said, “This shop… looks strange…”
“So expensive!” The green-eyed girl beside him exclaimed when she saw the prices. “Two magic crystals for one hour…”
What were magic crystals? They were crystals condensed from the energy in magical beasts’ bodies. Only level 2 magical beasts could have a low chance of producing the lowest-level magic crystals, which made these crystals very valuable. With its pure energy, one magic crystal was equal to ten unpurified magic ores.
Obviously, this price was higher than that of ordinary cultivation mystical realms!
In this nation which put great importance on combat techniques, cultivation mystical realms were available to most disciples. These mystic realms were low-leveled and easy to make as the technology matured; they were affordable to most disciples who intended to become warriors and mages.
However, this new shop was even more expensive than the low-level cultivation mystical realm built by people such as the Vice President of the Morning Light Empire Branch of Alchemist Union. The latter had been in business in the city for many years.
“So expensive?!” They had wanted to try it, but they got indignant seeing the high prices.
“Let’s go,” the green-haired girl said, “It’s so expensive. I hope the shop owner lives his life with his magic crystals!”
With a pout, she went out of the shop before others.
“Is this cultivation mystical realm more powerful than the Sunset Forest?” The freckled young man followed her out.
When they looked around, they saw many people gathering before the shop.
“I heard that this shop offended the Golden Sunlight Mercenary Group?” Some spellcasters wearing black cloaks stood outside the shop.
“He’s new to the city, but he has a talent for offending people, uh?”
“He can mess with many people, but why did he choose them?”
“He’s just a little guy; do you really want to play pranks on him?” Behind the blond man named Crete stood a woman who was wearing a black mage cloak, and she asked with a playful smile on her face.
“I just want to play with him.” The blond man also had a playful and teasing smile on his face.
“Okay then.” A short dark red magic staff slid out of the woman’s sleeve. With a light wave of the magic staff, the fountain that was shooting out water toward the flowerbed dashed toward Fang Qi’s shop.
Surprisingly, the water from the fountain turned colorful like paints. In the blink of an eye, the snow-white walls of Fang Qi’s shop were dyed in many colors, and the shopfront looked like a wet chicken that was just taken out of a bucket of paint.
The warriors who were about to enter the shop to check it out paused their steps.
“Hahahaha!” the crowd instantly laughed.
However, in the next instant, the pedestrians on the street, including the blond warrior Crete and that woman, stopped laughing.
The place fell silent.
They saw the paint slide down from the walls and turn fainter until it became thin streams of water.
More surprising was that the water seemed to give a shower to the small building, turning the slightly yellowed walls pristine white. With the remaining dust washed off, the tiles on the ceiling looked spotless and translucent.
“!!??”
“Try again! Put more effort in it!”
“I just don’t believe it!”
When the water sprayed to the building, the audience widened their eyes. The water drops turned into white mist as if they were evaporated by some unknown heat source, engulfing the small shop in an ethereal white fog! This place looked like a shop of the immortals.
“Awesome…”
“Excellent!”
The young people who had just come out of the shop stood outside and exclaimed with hands covering their mouths, and disbelief appeared in their eyes.
Not only the blond man but the woman who cast the spell froze. “What is going on?!”
Mr. Fang frowned and murmured, “What’s happening outside?”
He strode out of the door.
“He’s coming out!”
“Get ready!”
“This time, we must humiliate him in front of everyone!”
“Don’t worry! I set up a small spiritual spell on the ground. It will be great to see so many people witness his humiliation.”
At this moment, the door of the shop opened, and a young man flew out stepping on a silver sword beam.
With mist surrounding the shop, the figure flying out while stepping on the sword beam looked like an immortal to the people outside the door.
“h.e.l.lo! Everyone!” Mr. Fang greeted them friendly.
“Ahh-! This oriental man is das.h.i.+ng!”
“Wow-!”
“Cool!”
All the people of the Upper Realm who were standing on the street were stupefied by the sight.
“Joseph.” The young people who had planned to leave due to the high prices said, “Cia, shall we go back and try it…”
“Ahh-! The shop owner is so cool!” The girl with green hair and green eyes had stars in her eyes. “Let’s go and try the new mystic realm in the shop!”
“Well, should we go in and have a look?” The mages who were here to watch the drama at the door hesitated for a second before walking into the shop.
“Let’s go as well…” Some warriors carrying heavy weapons walked into the shop too.
“Ugh…?”
The blond man carrying the big sword was silent.
The short man stammered, “Um…”
The female mage didn’t say anything.
Silence fell on them.
After a long while, they scratched their heads.
“Hehe…”
“Hahaha…”
“Heiheihei…”
