Black Tech Internet Cafe System Chapter 493 – Upgrading the Shops Again

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

For cultivators from either the Deserted Sea Realm or the Spiritual State, the sea realm around the border in the center of Heavenly Abyss Sea was a taboo that no one wanted to bring up.

Few people had ever traveled across this sea realm in history, and the phenomenon that took place in there were rare and only existed in legends.

Besides, the cultivators of the Spiritual State had been in a decline from its prime time. No people had gotten close to that sea realm after the downfall of the Zixiao Spiritual Master.

Only sporadic descriptions of it were left in the scrolls kept by the ancient families.

The morning sun rose above the ocean and lit up the ocean waves. The sunbeams shining through the morning mist were beautiful as it showed multiple colors through refraction.

There were no people in the center of the Heavenly Abyss Sea, and there were also few fish and birds.

The morning mist and clouds got thicker, merging in the distant horizon. Further away, it was hard to tell the clouds apart from the mist, but they all looked like snow mountains standing on the sea surface, moving with winds. Suddenly, a huge thing could be vaguely seen in the cloud mountains like the tip of an iceberg.

…

Lately, the sky above Jiuhua City was always gloomy. Even without rain, it felt chilly, making people suspect if they were in Half City.

The phenomenon in the distant Heavenly Abyss Sea naturally had no effects on this place; the shop was tranquil as usual.

A ghost-like figure walked into the shop with the thronging crowd. While he walked, he seemed to be murmuring something to himself or sending voice messages to someone.

“These lowly mortals are indeed insignificant, ridiculous, and ignorant.”

“Well, they are watching anime in the shop.” He glanced around and saw Song Qingfeng and Dong Qingli sitting before computers, but a luxuriously dressed young master was watching anime on his communication jade.

As time went on, the players had gotten more and more income through growing vegetables in Qzone. With more gold coins in hand, they bought more anime. They originally bought anime to unlock certain functions, but they were now buying anime because they liked them.

There were quite a few young masters and playboys, such as Young Castellan An Cheng. He had watched anime behind the others and thus downloaded some episodes himself to kill time while waiting for his turn to get online.

“Young Master An, what’s this?” Some other young masters in the Jiuhua City looked at the virtual media before An Cheng curiously. “I’ve never seen this before. Naruto? What is it?”

“It seems like we are required to buy this to unlock the five-elemental ninjutsu. This is an action genre anime, and it’s worth a try.” After all, the anime they watched recently such as Tom and Jerry and Detective Conan were interesting and entertaining, but they lacked action and weren’t as thrilling.

In the world of cultivators and warriors, watching anime without action was like eating a meal without meat.

Although there were fights in Tom and Jerry, it wasn’t worth mentioning.

“Action genre?”

A black figure leaned over. “Okay, I’ve got to go now. There are no seats available right now, so I’ll watch some anime first.”

“…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t forget about our plan.”

…

Fang Qi glanced around and was satisfied that the recruitment of employees had finished. Different from the previous recruitment, this time, he only needed hard-working clerks with a strong sense of responsibility since they would only deal with trivial duties such as being the cashiers.

The new employees of the Jiuhua City Shop were mostly the young talented cultivators rescued from the Taixi Faction incident. In the Half City shop, the new employees were mostly native residents of the city.

He recruited ten new clerks, five males and five females, for each shop. Including the old employees, there were 12 people in each shop. With enough help, Mr. Fang could now expand the space in the shops.

After the elevation of his privileges, Mr. Fang found that he could make his own choices in the layout and decorations of the shops.

For example, in the traditional style shop, he could grow some spiritual herbs and flowers. He had placed a small wooden bridge near the entrance. In the gurgling creek under the bridge, he put in some fish and shrimp.

In the fantasy style shop, he placed a round flowerbed made of white stone in the center of the shop. The ground was paved with white stones, and the computer desks were made of green stones. The entire shop looked quite high-end and had an emotional appeal.

The spatial arrays which could contain living things weren’t extraordinary to cultivators in the Spiritual State. After all, all the ancient families could do that, and many of their palaces were built with this type of arrays.

However, what Mr. Fang chose next was something that they had never seen before.

[Beep! The selections are complete. The shop will finish the upgrade before opening for business tomorrow.]

Slam!

When Mr. Fang walked down from the second floor after finishing selecting options for tonight’s upgrades, he saw a strange cultivator wearing a black cloak slamming his hand on the desk and standing up.

The hood of the big cloak was pulled low, concealing most of the person’s face, and his skin revealed from the hood had a weird greenish-grey hue.

Many people glanced at his direction.

Since the people of the ancient families came into the shop, the Yuanyang City Shop, which didn’t have many seats, was crammed.

The black-robed man’s face looked dark with displeasure. It was true that people could watch anime to kill time, but…

Not far from him sat a cute loli who was about ten, and she had a big white deer with her.

She had a new communication jade in her hands.

There were several other girls sitting around her.

A strange song floated from the communication jade: “Happy Lamb, Pretty Lamb, and Lazy Lamb… Although I’m only a lamb…”

[This is the opening song for the Chinese Anime, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, which is meant for young kids who are in kindergarten and elementary school.]

He found that it was hard to bear this song for long!

“Can’t the shop get some more of these… machines?!”

“…” The person under the cloak glanced at the anime Jiang Xiaoyue was watching. Didn’t they claim that this stuff is interesting for killing time…? How could anyone say that this thing is interesting?! I had watched it for almost a day and didn’t find anything interesting about it!

“Hahahaha! These lambs are so cute!” The big white deer laughed while sitting on a couch.

“…” The person under the cloak was frustrated, and his face darkened while it twitched.

For a moment, he suspected that his brain malfunctioned.

“Don’t worry!” Mr. Fang waved his hand and gave him some good news. “Tomorrow, we’ll have enough seats for all of you.”

Li Wuya yelled, “Please be patient, Sir. It will be your turn very soon.”

“Okay!” The black-cloaked cultivator sat down reluctantly. “Then, I’ll wait a little longer.”

“Yohahahaha! This wolf is so dumb!”

“Yes, isn’t it?” Jiang Xiaoyue giggled while covering her mouth with her hand. “How can this wolf eat other small animals?”

Hearing their words, the person in the cloak looked over subconsciously and continued watching the anime.
