A Different Path

This is too much!

Su Ziling stamped her foot hard, her pouty lips jutting out so far they could have hung a Storage Bag from them.

Wang Chen could not help but laugh.

Though only in her teens, she was always poised and generous before outsiders, seeming quite mature. Only when she was with him did she reveal her sweetly innocent, youthful side.

And what had angered Su Ziling so much was a newly opened ice cream shop!

This ice cream shop stood less than two hundred paces from Wang Chen's little store. Its premises were larger and more grandly decorated, and it sold ice cream in every imaginable flavor.

Not only had it copied Wang Chen's idea wholesale, it had even introduced new variations.

Most critically, its cheapest ice cream cost only twenty Shattered Spirit, instantly driving the price down to rock bottom.

It also crushed Wang Chen's business in an instant.

A business that had been raking in money every day had collapsed after only a few days. Wang Chen would have been lying if he said he was not frustrated.

But what could he do?

He had neither reason nor strength to stop the other party from competing.

Once a major merchant entered the market for little things like ice cream, crushing a small shop was far too easy.

The cost advantage was right there!

"This is too unfair."

Su Ziling knew that getting angry was useless, but she could not help feeling wronged.

When Wang Chen had first opened for business and sold Magic Tools at a discount, Old District Chief had warned him after just one day, telling him he could not do that.

Yet now someone else was openly snatching business with low prices, and that old fellow was nowhere to be seen.
