Chapter 17: Ye Zhong
Lu Piao had some savings, exactly 100,000 spiritual coins, and with that money and the rest collected among all of them, it was enough for the group of six to advance to the Silver rank.
Spiritual coins are the coins used in Glory City. Usually, two to three thousand demonic spiritual coins would be enough for the annual expenses of a plebeian family. The value of items in Glory City is measured in spiritual coins. For example: battle armors, demonic crystals, demonic beast skins, elixirs, and various other items.
The annual fee for the Holy Orchid Institute should be around three thousand spiritual coins. For a plebeian family, this would be a huge expense. But many plebeian families prefer to live frugally and send their children to the Holy Orchid Institute. This is because once they become a Fighter or a Demon Spiritualist, even if it is only at the Bronze rank, they can change the fate of their family.
A Bronze rank Fighter, if they joined the army and became soldiers, would have an annual salary of around five thousand demonic spiritual coins. At the same time, they can also venture into the Holy Mountains and gain more benefits from there.
"You better keep your word." Nie Li's father threatened.
...
With that, Nie Li returned to the Academy. It should be said that he spent a lot of time explaining that he was involved in an important matter with his parents.
...
Snow Wind Mansion
Upon returning to the Mansion, Ye Xiu quickly went to see his younger brother.
But he was surprised to see father and daughter chatting happily.
He didn't know what it was about, but he was happy for Ye Ziyun.
He knew how strict Ye Zhong was, and how little he expected of his own daughter.
Although the moment was very emotional, what he had to report was extremely important, otherwise he wouldn't interrupt this father-daughter moment.
So he entered his brother's room without much courtesy.
Currently, Ye Ziyun was happily telling her father about her training plan.
Initially, she had 19 points of spiritual power, and this afternoon before seeing her dear father, she tried the famous Coca-Cola.
It should be said that her power skyrocketed from 19 points to 169 points of spiritual power.
Bronze 1-star.
Just one point behind Xiao Ning'er.
And according to her estimation, she would surpass her tomorrow, since the latter was sanctioned.
Ye Zhong had no choice but to believe his naive daughter, even though he was somewhat disdainful at first, he gradually understood more or less everything.
Suddenly he saw his older brother Ye Xiu entering with an anxious and excited look.
"Ye Zhong, I have something important to tell you," said Ye Xiu very anxiously.
Ye Zhong looked at his brother strangely.
'Don't tell me….
For some reason, he thought of what his daughter had told him.
"It's that famous new store," Ye Zhong tried to guess blindly.
"No, it's about..." Ye Xiu opened his eyes wide and couldn't finish.
"You know," he said.
Ye Zhong put on a bitter smile, thinking about all the trouble that would come with this topic.
"Yes, look at your niece," Ye Zhong said, looking proudly at his daughter.
Ye Xiu didn't understand at first, but after probing vaguely at the silent Ye Ziyun, he widened his eyes even more.
"Ziyun, did you visit the store?" he asked.
Ye Ziyun nodded meekly.
"Yes, Uncle Xie, the owner is very kind and explained to us about Coca-Cola. Currently, I am at the Bronze 1-star rank, and if I'm lucky tomorrow, I'll advance to two stars," said Ye Ziyun, her smile couldn't be concealed.
She was extremely grateful to the store owner.
Thanks to that, she was able to gain much more attention and interest from her father. Something that was very important for a girl like her who lost her mother when she was around 5 years old.
"Hahaha, the heavens have blessed my Glory City," Ye Xiu roared excitedly.
"Well, well, I'm happy for my niece," Ye Xiu hugged Ye Ziyun.
"By the way, does he only sell that so-called Coca-Cola?" Ye Zhong asked with much curiosity.
Although he was happy for the youth of Glory City, he was also jealous that those of Silver rank and above did not receive this kind of treatment.
"Ning'er told me that later on the owner will release more valuable items, although not everyone will be able to buy them, according to the owner, these items will benefit all of Glory City."
Ye Xiu couldn't respond to this, but Ye Ziyun could.
Before returning home, she stayed for a while chatting with her close friend.
It can be said that today is the happiest day of her life.
And all thanks to a store.
It's a bit ridiculous if you think about it.
The family of three stayed chatting for a while longer before dispersing to their rooms.
...
That night, all of Glory City didn't sleep.
With the illusion that from this day on, a golden age would come.
Yes, many thought that.
By this point, more than half of the City knew about the store, and above all, about Coca-Cola.
Some had the privilege of meeting the rumored young owner and others did not.
...
Outside the store, about 500 meters away, there was a party.
With a bonfire, meat, beer, and other drinks.
If you looked around, there were many empty bottles of Coca-Cola. But people didn't care. They wanted to keep them for life as a memory.
The first miraculous elixir to mark the great era that was coming.
"Hahaha, are you scared? Come on, I just want to bet your turn to buy tomorrow," a vendor teased a man while they drank and laughed.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Of course, I won't bet my turn. I'm number 80, which means I'm in the first group. Look at all the people here, there are more than 10,000 in line, when will I get in, in another 5 days," the man was drunk, but he still wasn't foolish.
"Hey, lucky bastard," the vendor clicked his tongue.
"Hahahaha," others around laughed loudly.
