Chapter 93: The Tea House Opens

  As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Yao suddenly burst out laughing and said: "That Shi Shou washing is really funny, the treasure-hunting strategy's attack on him was impenetrable, but he kept retreating backwards, later he retreated all the way to the edge of the mountain slope, still unaware, his foot stepped into empty space, and he actually rolled down..." By this time Xiao Yao was laughing uncontrollably.

  The wind whispers strangely: "Is it really so funny?"

  The big brother laughed and explained: "You didn't see the scene at that time, the released hand washed backwards, retreated to the edge of the mountain slope, suddenly we heard him shout, and then instantly disappeared from the ground. Everyone didn't know what was going on, and rushed over to look, already rolled out a long way!" The big brother said while gesturing with his hands.

  The wind whispered a few laughs, but there was no smile in his heart. The shadow caused by the destruction of the sword just now, how could it come out so quickly? Unfortunately, he had raised the question himself, and since others had spoken so clearly, he naturally had to make some gesture too.

  Everyone also saw that he smiled very reluctantly and knew the reason, and couldn't help but sigh.

  "Come on, don't be too sad. I'll ask Brother Ming to get you another good sword soon!"

  "Ha! Now that he's become the richest man in Jianghu, his tone of voice is different too!"

  "Of course, we are now people with status and position!"

  The jokes between friends made Feng Xiao Xiao feel a bit better, and he also started joking with Ju Bao Pen: "Today's chaotic battle, how did people with such status and position not die in the midst of it all!"

  Jubao Pan sneered: "As I said, it's a matter of status and position... tsk, tsk!" Jubao Pan shook his head and clicked his tongue. Suddenly, he turned to the few people and scolded: "And don't forget, you guys said each group can only have five people! Dammit, how come today I see that every group has at least 50 people?!"

  The boss laughed and said: "Who says we can only go with five people? It's just that only five people will compete on stage!"

  "Damn it! He's got me bribing the leader, no wonder that little brat was smiling so slyly at the time. I knew it! How could he agree to something so big so readily!"

  Everyone laughed, and Feng Xiao also temporarily forgot about the broken sword. Laughing, he asked them: "How did Huashan's debate on swordsmanship turn out later?"

  Xiao Yao smiled and said, "After Shi Shou washed down the mountain, his subordinates also rushed to chase after him. The people from Jin Qian Bang went to chase after Yi Jian Dong Lai's people, and some onlookers also chased after them. In an instant, half of the people on the mountain were gone, and those who remained had no interest in continuing the sword debate, so it was abandoned halfway."

  The boss concluded: "What's the martial arts conference, in the end it's just a farce! This kind of activity needs to be organized systematically, after all, it's a game!"

  "But judging from the situation, the system probably won't be organizing similar events again. Instead, they seem to be encouraging players to organize their own activities!"

  "Of course, the game advocates building your own Jianghu, you see those restaurants and teahouses originally managed by NPCs can now be sold to players!"

  "This is a great idea!" Feng Xiao Xiao heard this and had an epiphany. She also had some savings now, if there was such a shop, buying one to play with wouldn't be bad either.

  "Of course there is, but now we can only buy restaurants and tea houses. I don't know when the medicine shops will be sold, then I must make a lot of effort to buy more! That's the way to make big money!"

  The wind whispered: "Can't restaurants and teahouses make money?"

  Jubao Pan said: "It's possible to make money, but it's too slow! What's wrong? Do you want to buy one just for fun?"

  The wind whispers without words.

  "These ready-made shops are much more expensive than empty houses! With your little money, it's impossible to buy a restaurant, but maybe you can afford a teahouse!"

  The wind whispered and asked Lao Da and Xiao Yao: "Have you guys bought one to play with?"

  The boss and Xiao Yao's answers were almost the same: "We're not interested in that! We're wanderers!"

  Xiao Yao said with a gentle breeze: "You want to get one, and we'll have to call you Old Master Xiao from now on!"

  The wind whispers softly, as if lost in thought.

  On the second day online, Feng Xiao Xiao was still on Mount Hua, and couldn't help but sigh again at his lost sword. However, compared to yesterday, he felt much more at ease in his heart.

  Down from the mountain, the wind whistled straight to Xiangyang, and arrived at Youjian Teahouse, which was also a part of his own memories.

  The tea house is still the same, the boss is still the same, and the boss's hard drive memory is also the same. From the moment Feng Xiao Xiao walked in, he stared at her as if she were a thief.

  The wind explained to the boss: he wanted to buy down this tea building.

  The boss didn't waste any words and just did what he was supposed to do: quoted a price, of course as per the system's regulations.

  The price was extremely high, but Feng Xiao had already mentally prepared himself, pouring all his wealth into it, just enough to afford this sum of money.

  No haggling existed in the transaction, and with a few swift payments, the teahouse had changed hands. The entire grand transaction took no more than two minutes.

  The boss again entrusted some matters to Feng Xiao Xiao, mainly the price list for hiring NPC shop assistants. Fortunately, the four original shop assistants can be used by Feng Xiao Xiao for free for a month, otherwise Feng Xiao Xiao would really fall into trouble immediately. He is now almost penniless.

  The boss clearly explained all matters and left without any hesitation or lingering, living up to being a system NPC.

  Among the terms of the deal was the right to change the name of the teahouse for free once, which Feng Xiao Xiao had not mentioned beforehand. Now she really couldn't wait to use this right, but for a while she couldn't think of a good name, and casually changing it would be too wasteful, so she could only put it off for the time being.

  Next is to inform good friends of this good news, first of course is to tell Lao Da and them.

  The big brothers heard the news and all told him to wait a bit, saying they would be right over.

  The wind is weird, what are you waiting for?

  Lao Da, Ju Bao Pen and Xiao Yao hastily arrived at a teahouse in Xiangyang when Feng Xiao Xiao was already smiling and waiting for them at the entrance.

  Three people rushed over, looked around and exclaimed: "Already bought?"

  The wind whispers quickly and nods in agreement.

  The three of them looked at each other in dismay.

  Even a fool can see that the atmosphere is not right, and Feng Xiao Xiao hurriedly asked what was wrong.

  "Are you kidding me? You're buying a teahouse! In the game, running a restaurant or teahouse is completely useless and unprofitable!"

  The wind was blowing gently, and his face changed slightly, he hastily asked: "What do you mean by this?"

  "Restaurants and teahouses, let's not mention the little money they make. These two places are where players gather, and often there will be two groups of people who don't see eye to eye and start fighting, affecting business aside, they also often break things. What's even more feared is that in the chaos, many people won't pay their bills and just run off!"

  "It's windy and said: 'If you don't pay, you'll be caught and put in jail!'"

  "Hey, that's a government-run shop, if you want to get the officials involved, you'll have to pay a hefty bribe. And for this little thing, you'd let someone go to jail? When they come out, won't they just cause more trouble for you? It's not worth it!"

  The wind was blowing and he felt a bit nervous too, so he said: "Then why are you still running the 'Gathering Hall'?"

  "Cut the crap! I'm not opening that can of worms to teach you a lesson, am I?!" Then, changing tone: "Look at all those other shops, they're all family-owned chains, and this restaurant is just one of them!"

  The wind is strong and he still has a hard mouth: "But I also have a friend who opened a restaurant!"

  "Opening one store is nothing special, I can do it too! Who wants to open a second store after the first one? I admire him!"

  The wind whispers and can't speak anymore, looking around the tea house that has already become his own, feeling as if it had turned into a scorching hot yam.

  The three of them looked at each other with a mixture of embarrassment and sympathy, thinking that it was indeed pitiful. Just yesterday, he had ruined his precious sword, and now he had spent all his family's savings on this useless thing.

  Even Lian Ju Bao felt that he had said too much and began to comfort him in a gentle tone: "You don't have to be too sad, actually there are also good places, for example, players mostly like to go to player-owned shops to drink tea and eat, our shop must be better than the system's business!"

  "What's the reason for that?"

  Zhū Bǎo Pén was taken aback for a moment, then said after a brief pause: "Because going to the player's shop can give us a chance to eat and drink for free!"

  The wind is bleak and even more desolate.

  "Hey, don't listen to him talking nonsense. What he said is true, but it's not as exaggerated as he made it out to be. If you come to the store more often when you're free, nothing will happen!" The boss didn't say this easily. He had always cherished his gaming time and opposed wasting time browsing the market without leveling up. Now, he was actually advising Feng Xiao Xiao to waste time coming to the store more often, how difficult was that?!

  "Right! From now on, we'll also help you pull in more business! Hehe!"

  The wind whispered and nodded. The treasure basin said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you ever bring me any business!"

  Xiaoyao seemed to have not heard and said to Lao Da: "We shouldn't leave!"

  The boss nodded in agreement, and the two bid farewell and left. The treasure basin also went to inspect its own shops with a disappointed expression.

  The wind was blowing gently as he saw the crowd leave, and when he turned back to look at his own teahouse, the large sign that read "You Jian Tea House" was still hanging there. It wasn't until then that he remembered he had wanted the three of them to help him come up with a name for the shop earlier, but it had completely slipped his mind in all the commotion.

  Lowering his head in thought for a moment, he used one of his own names and then the simplest character from among Chinese characters to take on a new name: Yixiao Chalou.

  The tea house with its gentle breeze has officially opened.
