Chapter 576 - Sir, Deposit More Money!
Naturally, Fang Qi didn’t want to see the regions where he had shops at engaging in a war against each other.
After all, if people weren’t living in a peaceful time, no one would have the leisure to play online games and watch TV Series in his shops.
He knew that it was only a matter of time that the force behind Jessica, Carl, and Kevin would find out about their sticky situation.
From his conversation with Jessica, Fang Qi sensed that this land was so vast that even the forces behind her hadn’t been able to explore the whole continent.
From the information that she revealed, Fang Qi had the vague feeling that ancient existences like gods existed in this world.
Although Jessica hadn’t seen them with her own eyes, their existence was proved by many prophecies and miracles that happened in the past countless years.
Also, the spiritual patterns between their eyebrows were distinct evidence since these patterns were condensed from godly power. With these patterns, they could borrow power from the gods and use godly spiritual spells.
When two opponents of the same realm battled, with one being an ordinary cultivator or warrior who used ordinary spiritual essence and warrior qi and the other being someone who could activate such horrifying power, it was obvious who would win.
It wasn’t a battle between rivals of the same level!
It was one of the reasons why they looked down on the cultivators of the Spiritual State and dared to be arrogant.
Fang Qi had defeated them since he had the experience of countless battles. At least his game character had absorbed most of the power of the demons. After he achieved Complete Synchronization with the character, he could overpower his three opponents in terms of granular control of his energy.
Combined with the great power of Evil Sword Apophis and other equipment that offered great strength, he could fight them one versus three.
If Mr. Fang had been a newbie Soul Bender, he would have been defeated without a doubt.
Among these outlanders, Carl was the strongest, but he was only a vanguard general.
Fang Qi could imagine the great power of the Judgement Godly Palace, the force behind them.
Fortunately, Mr. Fang was here to open a shop, and he wasn’t an invader who would arrogantly claim to destroy this world. Therefore, he wasn’t worried that someone would come to him and beat him senseless like what he did to the three outlanders.
…
“Burp-!” Jessica tossed down the broom and belched uncontrollably with a bottle of Coke in her hand. “Ugh? I drank a whole bottle already? Get me a bottle of iced red tea!”
Then, she took out a strange purple crystal and paid for it.
“After I return, I’ll capture this despicable shop owner and force him to make red iced tea for us each day!” Jessica said with a snort.
Her lips curved up when she imagined the scene in which Mr. Fang served her tea and massaged her back. Her mood lightened at the thought.
“We must be cautious; there are many traps and mechanisms in the shop!” Kevin said in a low voice, “While we are here, we can gather more information and see what powerful and mysterious force is behind this shop!”
Obviously, he remembered his failure to escape from the window and door after trying to break them for a whole night, and thus he was very cautious.
On the other hand, they didn’t want people to know about their humiliating experience, so they considered how to negotiate their release with Mr. Fang while gathering information about the shop.
…
“We must prepare for the invasion of the outlanders.” Gu Tingyun looked grim. “Since we came to their world through the Heavenly Abyss Sea, they can one day go to our Spiritual State through the same portal. If that happens, the Spiritual State will be in danger!”
Fang Qi turned serious as this moment as well since he had lived in the Deserted Sea Realm for a long time and could be considered as half a native. “We must get prepared.”
Fang Qi now clearly understood that the invaders came from the force called the Judgement Godly Palace. Although he didn’t know the status of this force in the whole continent, he knew that it didn’t represent all the forces on this land.
Of course, there might be other forces coinciding with the Judgement Godly Palace in terms of missions and strategies, which was a factor that Fang Qi must put into consideration.
“I plan to return to the Spiritual State today and begin the preparations. What’s your plan, Mr. Fang?” Gu Tingyun didn’t plan to drag this on.
“I plan to find a peaceful spot to open a branch shop while experiencing the life and customs in this place. I’ll keep you guys informed and message you when I detect something,” Fang Qi said.
“Okay. Sounds good.”
…
In fact, under the suppression of the powerful Upper Realm, the fates of the cultivators and warriors in places such as the Spiritual State, Deserted Sea Realm, and Ultimate West Realm didn’t depend on Fang Qi but themselves.
Fang Qi alone couldn’t determine their fates. After all, Jessica was correct in one thing; the powerful preyed on the weak, and only the fittest would survive.
One had to admit that some things could unite all people.
Hatred and conflict of interests were nothing in front of such issues.
The cultivators of Half City were not good friends with their counterparts in the big factions of the Morning Star Sea Realm, but now they had to work together and be cooperative on the surface.
Dajin and the Wuwei Daoist Alliance had been enemies with the Yundian Upper Realm and the two saint factions respectively, but none of them had conflicts with the cultivators of Spiritual State.
The two figures hidden in black robes were now sitting in a corner of the shop. “Should we…”
“Of course…” the big man wearing a black cloak said bleakly while he gazed at the jade tablet engraved with two characters ‘Luo Tian’ in his hand, “Time flows by slowly, and the past feels like a dream. I hope your immortal souls will bless us and help us obtain victory this time!”
“So many years have passed… Now, we are going to face the enemies that they had once faced…”
“How is the ‘demonic energy’ in your body?” The black-robed man asked in a low voice.
The woman frowned slightly and replied, “I can hear the demon’s whispers occasionally, just like how it is in that world (the world in the game). The power contained in this advancement contract is perfect. Now I have the strength of ‘Stigmata,’ and I’m not afraid of demons.”
“Besides, I think I can condense a seed for demonic energy. With aid from that world, I think you can soon obtain your advancement as well.”
“With this power, perhaps ‘awakening’ is no longer so far away from us!”
“Then, let’s go to that world and study it to obtain more inspirations!”
“Let’s use up the fatigue points and then join their discussions!”
“Let’s go! If I get a piece of good equipment, I’ll treat you to Coke!”
“Should we reinforce the equipment to level 14? I remember that the prize coupon doesn’t have a restriction on the reinforcement levels.”
“My goodness! You’re right! We can’t stop at 14! We must make it to 20!”
“Sir! Deposit more money in my card!”
