After sending away the Hu Jia trio, he heard the system's prompt tone as soon as he sat back in his chair.
Congratulations to the host for completing the system task. Do you want to improve your cultivation level now?
"Oh, the task has been overfulfilled. It's okay to be promoted now. There's nothing wrong anyway. Let's promote it."
The next moment, a huge amount of energy poured into his body, and he quickly began to absorb this energy.
As time slowly passed, his cultivation level also slowly increased.
More than half an hour later, a huge momentum suddenly emerged from Xiao Cheng's body. Of course, this momentum also alarmed Che Cheng who was sitting beside him.
"Shop Owner Xiao actually broke through, and he reached two small realms as soon as he broke through. It's really an incredible qualification."
Che Cheng thought with emotion.
At this time, Xiao Cheng slowly opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body. His strength seemed to be overwhelming. It was really exciting.
"Now my cultivation level has reached Four-Star Dou Ling, tsk tsk"
Then he opened his personal face panel and looked at it.

When he saw that the store manager's experience was only a little short of being upgraded, he couldn't help but smile.
"It's finally time to upgrade. When the time comes, you will receive a gift package."
But at this time, the system poured cold water on him.
Host, since the system has installed and modified the gift pack patch some time ago, certain changes will be made in the issuance of gift packs. Hearing these words from the system, Xiao Cheng was stunned, but he also thought of the patch update of the system a few days ago and the reminder of the gift pack patch, and he suddenly felt bad.
"System, you are amazing. Is this considered a secret operation? I really want to beat you up. You are really mad at me."
But now he had nothing to do with this broken system, so he had to suppress his anger and ask.
"Tell me, what changes have been made?"
The system seemed to be silent for a few seconds before speaking.
The original conditions for issuing gift packs were 1, 3, 5, 7, but now they have been changed to 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, etc., so that gift packs will be issued every three levels. Seeing this explanation of the system, Xiao Cheng was really speechless. Now that he has been promoted to level 5 store manager, he has no benefits at all. He has to wait until the next level to get the gift pack, which means he has to upgrade to level 6 store manager.
According to the upgrading rules of the system, if the experience for each level is multiplied by three times, it would actually cost 24,000 experience points to upgrade from level 5 to level 6. This is really unviable.
"System, are you sure my upgrade won't be too difficult in the future?"
Please rest assured, host. When the host reaches level five, new channels for obtaining experience points will be opened. "Oh, level five will actually open new channels for obtaining experience points. Anyway, it will only be upgraded in the next few days. I will just wait."
After being tortured by this system, my originally very excited mood suddenly became clouded.
In desperation, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yi Xian seemed to have updated the pastries and replenished the pastries.
Thinking of this, he thought for a while that no one was looking for him now. Currently, the only task of the auction was more urgent, and there was no trouble to find him, so he could go back and take a look.
So he came to Xiao Yu and gave instructions.
"I plan to go back to my main store to have a look. You guys should take a good look at the store. I've taught you how to start the car. By the way, remember not to let Zi Yan eat pastries and don't let her run to the grocery room."
Xiao Yu nodded and then asked doubtfully.
"Store manager, what are you doing back?"
"I went back to make all the new pastries and add them. The main store is still the same as before, and I probably don't make many pastries for them anymore. I'll go back and take a look while I have nothing to do. Maybe someone will look for me."
Hearing what the store manager said, Xiao Yu nodded and promised that he would definitely take a good look at the store. Then he told Che Cheng that he would go out in the next two or three days and just let him follow Xiao Yu's arrangements.
Che Cheng smiled and nodded.
But in his heart, he was wondering where Xiao Cheng was going, but he didn't ask in a hurry. He could find out more about yxiia at Xiao Yu then. Xiao Cheng found a relatively remote place and said to the system.
"Teleport, Wutan City"
After deducting the transmission fee of 20,000, please be prepared, the transmission of 3...2...
Before the countdown was over, he immediately noticed something was wrong. The cost of teleportation had actually increased. It was unscientific.
"System, please come out and explain to me why the transmission fee has increased."
But the next moment, a white light flashed, and Xiao Cheng disappeared from the spot.
At this time, in Wutan City Ruyi Zhai, Xiao Yi Xian and others were busy dealing with guests. Gu He was as leisurely as ever, but he was holding Rubik's Cube in his hand and seemed to be fighting with it.
"I still don't believe it. This broken toy can still stump me."
Just when Gu He was competing with Rubik's Cube, Ao Ba Pa came over in person.
After seeing Gu He, he politely said hello, but Gu He was focused on Rubik's Cube and did not notice his arrival.
Of course, he wouldn't mind, but he looked a little haggard and unnatural, probably because he was not in a good state of mind these days.
Seeing Ao Ba Pa coming, Xiao Yi Xian said with a smile.
"Why are you here? You are really a rare visitor."
Apparently Xiao Yi Xian has also learned more or less some conversational etiquette in dealing with others.
Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's question, he sighed helplessly.
"I'm here to see Shop Owner Xiao. Is he back?"
At this moment, the familiar voice of Xiao Cheng just sounded outside the door.
"Dear clerks, your store manager is back."
The store was quiet, and the customers coming and going didn't take him seriously at all, and the atmosphere suddenly seemed a bit awkward.
A few minutes ago, Xiao Cheng was teleported to an alley, but he was asking the system why the transmission fee would increase. Guess what reason he gave.
This broken system actually said that when the transmission technology is upgraded, the transmission fee will also be increased accordingly.
He didn't realize that the teleportation technology had been upgraded at all. I couldn't help but ask directly.
"System, are you sure this transmission technology has been upgraded? Where has it been upgraded? Please tell me."
May I ask if the host felt any discomfort after the transmission was completed? "No, I realized after you said it that I didn't fall down, and I feel very clear-headed and not so dizzy anymore."
Hearing the system's words, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the system's next sentence made him vomit blood.
This is the benefit that the system technology upgrade brings to the host, so the charging standard must be increased. Black lines appeared on his forehead, but he couldn't say anything. He had to raise his middle finger to despise the system, and then walked towards Ruyi Zhai.
At this time, Xiao Cheng saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he was a little confused about what to do.
Suddenly, the sharp-eyed Ao Ba Pa noticed Xiao Cheng and immediately greeted him happily.
"Shop Owner Xiao, I finally see you"
He was a little confused when he saw the look on his face, which was the same as seeing his brother. What's going on?
Then Xiao Yi Xian and the others also noticed that Xiao Cheng was back and came over to say hello.
Of course, Xiao Cheng also responded one by one.
Only then did Xiao Cheng have time to ask Ao Ba Pa what happened?
So Ao Ba Pa told Xiao Cheng what happened a few days ago when someone disappeared in the Monster Mountain Range.
After a while, he rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying.
"There's something fishy here. It's too much of a coincidence that this person disappeared."
"Shop Owner Xiao, you have to help me find those people."
Ao Ba Pa said eagerly.
"Don't worry, after I finish handling the matters in the store, I will go to the Monster Mountain Range to investigate in person."
Hearing that Xiao Cheng wanted to solve the matter personally, Ao Ba Pa was happy and thanked him quickly.
After a while, Aoba went back to do his own business.
Xiao Cheng, on the other hand, was thinking about the incident where Monster Mountain Range was missing. He always felt that this matter was not simple, but there was no way to learn more information now.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
