The number of customers in the shop had been increasing gradually, but it wasn’t crammed with players yet. After all, few people would go around and promote it on a mass scale.
Right now, the games in the shop could teach much more than simple combat skills like the very beginning.
Of course, compared with players in the Deserted Sea Realm, the customers in the Spiritual State had much greater strength and broader views; some of them understood the laws of nature, and some could make powerful spiritual treasures. Besides, they had found many treasures in the prehistoric relics, and these treasures’ power would be destructive if the cultivators could master them.
This was why the ancient families had been observing the situation after they heard about the shop.
After all, they were proud of the stuff in their own families when their descendants told them about the amazing things in this shop. Some of the stuff that they had were left by immortals from ancient times.


They hadn’t totally understood their own treasures yet, thus they couldn’t spend time on things in a shop.
But now, the situation had changed, and they decided to take a look at the shop together.
Besides, the owner of the shop had revealed his great strength, and it was wise to pay him a visit and establish friendship.
Mr. Fang glanced at the godly weapon fragment on the System Interface and saw the last one. Also, the synchronization time for the weapon ‘Beowulf’ was used up.
Meanwhile, a lot of system energy was used as well.

It’s not a bad deal.
Seeing the number of customers in the shop increasing by many folds, Mr. Fang forced the argument of a good deal to comfort himself.
Today, people of the Tang Family, the Xun Family, and the Wang Family came to visit.
The door opened, and three grey-bearded old men who looked to be about 60 years old walked in; a group of people, male and female, young and old, followed each of them.
The people of the Tang Family all wore black clothes, the people of the Wang Family all wore green and white robes, and the people of the Xun Family all wore purple robes with golden trims.
They looked grand, neat, and orderly with the deportment of big families.



Great to meet you!


It is an honor to meet you!

Tang Yu and the others brought them a few bowls of instant noodles.

Hu…


Slurp…


…

…

Xun Family Master, this is indeed a good place.
A black-robed elder sat on a couch and watched the bustling customers with a bowl of instant noodles in his hands.
This…um… instant noodle is indeed as effective as they say!


In fact, our Little Yu mentioned the shop to me, but I thought it was one of this naughty boy’s pranks.
One old man lowered his head to eat the instant noodles.
Wow! Let’s try all of the things here!

Xun Tai, the Xun Family Master, was a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious purple robe. With a bowl of instant noodles in his hand, he looked up in the direction of the cabinet.
Aren’t those the godly swords from the Sword Tomb?



He remembered that the ancient families had delivered those swords to the shop after destroying the Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace a few days ago.

What are you looking at? Granddaddy is an ancient godly sword!
one of the swords made noises.
The people exchanged a look with instant noodles in their hands.
Ugh…

…
Having finished their instant noodles, these people walked along the corridors with their hands clasped behind their backs and toured the shop, followed by their disciples and elders.
On some screens, they saw little people with weapons; one of them had a big ax in hand, battling with a white hog that was about 30 centimeters taller than the average height of humans.
On some screens, some figures were fighting monsters with dark-purple swords.
They even saw a big white deer.
Many of them blinked, wondering if their eyes were playing tricks on them.
Finally, they stopped behind a white-haired old man.



Old Academy Master?
On his screen was a simple box, and the icon of a penguin was jumping in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

What’s he doing?
Some family masters asked in surprise.
Battles are easier to understand, but what is this thing? It only has one box, showing some words.


He’s chatting on QQ!

On Gu Tingyun’s screen, several people’s messages appeared beside several names.
Gu Tingyun typed, [Um… This Holiness, you just said that people can use the laws of nature that they understand to build a special zone around them. Can it really be realized?]
Ms. Spirit replied, [What Holiness? He’s just a Smirk Face Emoji. This thing is difficult to realize but not impossible.]
The one with the ID of ‘Unrivalled Almighty’ and the profile photo of a smirk face emoji yelled, [Who? Who are you talking about? Who are you calling a smirk face emoji?!]
Then, it continued, [It’s difficult for you, a dumb little girl. But for me, it’s a piece of cake!]
[Look! Someone’s boasting so hard that cows can even fly!]



…

While they chatted animatedly in the group chat, the family masters who were watching from behind exchanged a look of bafflement.
Building a zone with the laws of nature around themselves? What’s this for?

Confused, they continued the tour and wandered to somewhere else.
They saw that a few elders of the Heavenly Academy sitting near Gu Tingyun were also chatting with this thing.
They were talking in the Artifact Master Advanced Communication Group.
Li Haoran said, [Good news! Great news! Our Daoist Alliance made a breakthrough in the Gauss-Related Research Project!]
The Baoping Spiritual Master asked, [What breakthrough? We’ve been stuck here for a long time.]
Tang Yu chimed in, [Yeah. I pulled apart the guns in the game and tried to mimic them, but I couldn’t do it. I don’t know what the problem is, and the shop owner acts mysterious and wouldn’t tell me anything when I ask him questions.]
Li Haoran said, [ Do you remember the scientist that we rescued in Grand Theft Auto 5? The weapon expert with a lot of titles?]
Baoping Spiritual Master typed, [We don’t have this game! What happened? Did he give you the blueprint?]
Li Haoran replied, [ No, he didn’t do that. He wouldn’t tell us the key parts and only mentioned that the Gauss cannons had been replaced by railguns long ago. Anyway, I got some information and made a small toy.]
Then, Li Haoran uploaded a short video in which he injected lightning energy into a Gauss gun with four coils and then pressed a button through a device.
Snap!
A teacup in front of him was shattered.

What is good about this thing?
The family masters asked in disdain.

Master, if we don’t hurry, there won’t be seats left,
someone reminded them.

…


Have you decided? Which game are you going to play?
They immediately went online.
…

Boss, what do you think of a big netizen meetup?
Jiang Xiaoyue suggested with some excitement; obviously, she had been planning this in the group for a long time.

A big netizen meetup?
Mr. Fang stroked his chin.
It sounds good. But, do you want the cultivators and warriors of the Deserted Sea Realm to come over here? It might be a problem.


Didn’t you say that you used some innate ability to go to the Deserted Sea Realm? And you couldn’t take others?


What? You want to pass the Heavenly Forbidden Zones?
At this moment, the godly swords hanging on the bamboo stick opened their mouths; they seemed to know something about it.
