Ancient Land Convenience Store - Chapter 14

Time passes quickly when busy. Luo Feng just cleaned the convenience store, but it was already getting dark. He patted his empty stomach. Ever since he arrived in this Ancient Land, he had not been able to get a good meal. He had been sustaining himself with only the mushrooms in the mountains.

After eating mushrooms again, Luo Feng vowed to improve his strength and get out of Ziwei mountain as soon as possible.

Back at the convenience store, Luo Feng began to check today’s harvest.

Name: Luo Feng

Age: 20

Occupation: Ancient Land Convenience Store Boss

Level: Mortal (Immortal Sutra Layer 1)

Merit: 11650

Luo Feng smiled as he saw his merit had finally reached five digits. He didn’t do all that work for nothing.

“System, my merit value has exceeded five figures. Activate the exchange system for me, quickly.” Luo Feng roared, and a ‘beep’ sound immediately rang in his mind.

“Confirmed that the host merit value has exceeded five digits, opening the exchange system!”

Luo Feng rubbed his hands and waited to see what kind of surprise the system would bring him.

One minute, two minutes… Five minutes passed, but Luo Feng found that there were no new goods. He asked with a strange expression, “What happened to the activation of the exchange system?”

“The exchange system has been opened!”

Luo Feng’s eyes twitched and he asked angrily, “Then why haven’t I seen anything?”

“The exchange system has been opened. The reason why the host can’t see the goods is that your current merit value is not enough to exchange any goods.”

Luo Feng: “…”

I have at least 10,000 merits, but it’s not even enough to exchange for toilet paper? What a trap!

Wait… Could it be that even activating the exchange system requires merits!?

Luo Feng thought of this possibility and opened up his profile again. When he found that he only had 1650 merits left, he started cursing. “God damn it. Even activating the exchange system costs 10,000 merits!”

Perhaps it was because the system had detected Luo Feng’s disapproval, but its cold voice suddenly sounded again. “I must remind the host that the Ancient Land System has a value for each of its functions. Please do not insult it. Activation and exchange are two different concepts. Don’t mix them together!”

Fine! You’re cruel!

Luo Feng raised a middle finger in his mind and asked feebly, “Can you tell me how much the cheapest commodity is in the exchange?”

“Ten thousand!” The system didn’t bother to drag it out, but Luo Feng wanted to strangle this bastard.

I worked hard to get 10000 merit value, but I’ve just been told that the cheapest commodity also needs 10000. What kind of exchange system is this? It’s clearly a money burning machine… No, it should be said to burn merit value.

Luo Feng glanced at the bag of laundry powder in the corner of the room and found that after using it for so long, there was still more than half of the bag left. He was a little comforted. At least the bag of laundry powder was enough to support him until he could get the next commodity. However, Luo Feng started wondering whether he should use less of it tomorrow.

With this thought, Luo Feng was preparing to practice the Sutra of Immortality when the sound of the system rang in his mind: “Host, have you ever thought about the management style of the Ancient Land Convenience Store?”

Huh?

Luo Feng quickly stopped what he was doing and asked with a confused expression, “Isn’t it just keeping the store open on Ziwei Mountain and waiting for people to come by products?”

The system quickly denied Luo Feng’s words: “The Ancient Land Convenience Store is actually mobile. Of course, this is based on the premise that the host has enough merit value. Also, if the host has sufficient merits, the host can also open branch stores!”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He ran a convenience store in his previous life and naturally understood how it works.

As long as the reputation of the head office was established, the business of the branch stores would be good as well. At that time, all he would need to do is relax and the merit would come rolling in.

Luo Feng quickly lost his motivation to practice the Sutra of Immortality. He anxiously asked, “Under what conditions would I be able to open a branch store?”

“As long as the total number of goods reaches more than ten, you can open branches!”

If the system was standing in front of Luo Feng now, he would have spit in its face.

The cheapest good in the exchange system needs 10,000 merits. Even if all the goods require 10,000 merits, I would still need 100,000 merit values. Who knows how long it would take for me to earn that much.

Forget it. Don’t think about opening a branch store. Think about moving the flagship store..

Luo Feng had yet to leave Ziwei Mountain since arriving in the Ancient Land. He had a lot of interest in the outside world, so he asked nervously, “Can the Ancient Land Convenience Store really move?”

“Yes, but this function must be activated.”

Luo Feng: “…”

To put it bluntly, it needs merit.

Luo Feng rolled his eyes and asked carefully, “How much merit does it take to activate this function?”

“Fifty thousand!”

Luo Feng clenched his fists together and asked with a grave face, “Are you going to tell me that it will take 50,000 merit to activate it, then more to move it from Ziwei Mountain?”

“Host.”

“What?”

“I see that your intelligence has increased.”

“……”

Luo Feng felt his entire body was in discomfort after talking to the System. Just the neverending merit charges weighed on him so much that he couldn’t breathe. Moreover, the System seemed to have learned to play with him.

“Damn it! One day I’ll dig you out of my head and see what you really are!” muttered Luo Feng and he began to prepare the tools needed for tomorrow.

Luo Feng expected that there will be large fish to hook tomorrow. He must get a huge profit.

It’s not for anything extra, but just for him to experience the beautiful landscapes and fairies of this ancient world.
