Book Qi Value
In the system interface, Ma Feifei found information about the Book Qi Points. (Mobile version m)
Book Qi Points: Used to purchase books from the System Shop.
Source: The host's cultivation level improvement, or the reading of books in the Divine Bookstore by fellow readers, their comprehension of cultivation techniques and martial arts, cultivation formations, etc., can provide the host with a large amount of Book Qi.
Current Book Qi Points: 3.6 million (Note: 3 million is converted from the host's cultivation level, and 600,000 is all the Book Qi Points gained since the Bookstore opened.)
"It seems pretty impressive!" Ma Feifei exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the description of the Book Qi Points.
The Book Qi Points is completely equivalent to Spirit Crystal. If Spirit Crystal are likened to the currency unit in the cultivation world, then the Book Qi Points is equivalent to the currency unit in the Bookstore System.
As the shop owner, Ma Feifei organizes the books provided by the system and rents them out to book lovers.
Readers earn rewards by reading the books provided by Ma Feifei, and return these rewards to Ma Feifei in the form of "Book Qi Points." Ma Feifei, in turn, uses these Book Qi Points to purchase new books, which are then used to further benefit the readers.
This cycle continues, creating a win-win effect.
Whether it's the Divine Bookstore or the general book lovers, everyone will benefit from this.
Although the Book Qi Points and Spirit Crystal are roughly the same, they are also different.
Although Spirit Crystal, like Book Qi Points, can be used to purchase books in the System Shop, they are actually subject to limitations.
First of all, the Bookstore's profits aren't exorbitant. Even with the system now at level two, it can only accommodate 150 readers per day. But at one Spirit Crystal per hour, how many Spirit Crystal would it earn in a day? How many years would the Bookstore have to operate to fill its shelves?
Of course, it's not that Bookstore aren't profitable. As a newly emerging monopolistic industry in the Azure Dragon Continent, book sales alone cannot justify the term "monopoly."
The Bookstore's biggest profits actually come from the revenue bookstores generate from readers purchasing books of "Yellow Quality" (a euphemism for adult content).
Look at Zhou Zhuling, just getting treatment for an illness cost her two million in no time.
I'm reading the new manga * Pokémon *, and in it, a regular Pokémon costs 100,000 Spirit Crystal. If I catch a thousand, would that be 100 million?
It's like striking it rich! But unfortunately, all these Spirit Crystal will be automatically taken away by the system and won't end up in Ma Feifei's own pocket. Naturally, he can't use them to buy books in the System Shop, so strictly speaking, this isn't a source of profit for the Bookstore.
Even now, with the system upgrade and Ma Feifei 10% Dividend Plan, it's still a bit tight.
In comparison, Book Qi Points are more useful than Spirit Crystal; firstly, the system doesn't take a cut, and all the Book Qi Points gained from reading books go to Ma Feifei alone. Moreover, Book Qi Points can not only be obtained through reading books, but Ma Feifei can also convert his own cultivation into Book Qi Points.
Currently, Ma Feifei's cultivation level is at the Spirit King Stage Three, and he has converted three million Book Qi Points. Of course, Ma Feifei doesn't know exactly how this was converted. But if Spirit King Stage Three can have three million Book Qi Points, what about a third-stage Spirit Venerable? Spirit Emperor third stage? A Spirit Saint Third Stage? Or even Immortal Realm? Wouldn't the converted Book Qi Points be at least a billion? Just by converting Book Qi Points from his cultivation level, Ma Feifei could buy dozens of Epic-grade books. Not to mention that these books would also provide him with a large amount of Book Qi Points, and with this feedback, he could even afford the most top-tier Mythic-grade books.
"However, Spirit Crystal are equally important." After thinking for a moment, Ma Feifei decided to pursue both.
There's no other reason than that the system has too many books, and you can never have too many Spirit Crystal.
"Ding! System upgrade complete. Host has successfully obtained the system gift pack. Would you like to open it?"
The system notification sounded, Ma Feifei remembered that the first item in the system upgrade information mentioned that an upgrade gift pack would be given after the system upgrade.
"Open it," Ma Feifei replied, also wanting to see what was inside the upgrade gift pack.
'Congratulations, host, you have obtained 300 Blue Quality books.'
Then, to Ma Feifei's surprise, the 400-square-meter Bookstore shone brightly with a series of jingles, which then poured directly into the first bookshelf. A moment later, the light disappeared, and the previously empty bookshelf was suddenly filled with blue books.
"My goodness! Is this a direct path to a comfortable life?" Ma Feifei walked step by step towards the first bookshelf, marveling at the dazzling array of books on display.
Ma Feifei casually picked up a book from the bookshelf and looked at the title on the cover—<The Great Tang>.
He put it back and then picked up another book—"The Ode to Gallantry".
He picked up more than a dozen books, all of them novels from martial arts worlds in his previous life, similar to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"; besides these, Ma Feifei even saw pure love novels like "Border Town" and "Ordinary World".
"Damn it, finally I dare to hold my head high and tell people I own a Bookstore!" Ma Feifei patted the copy of "The Peerless Twins" in his hand and exclaimed.
An upgrade package containing three hundred Blue Quality books directly solved the Bookstore's serious shortage of books, allowing Ma Feifei to breathe a sigh of relief.
The Bookstore is great in every way, but it has too few books. As the owner, Ma Feifei faced questions from customers about the Bookstore's collection from the very beginning.
Especially in the later stages, the problem of the Divine Bookstore becoming famous throughout the Azure Dragon Continent became increasingly serious, and it was criticized by many people.
Although this book does indeed possess divine power and can bring benefits to everyone, look at how many practitioners have actually benefited from it, even though the Bookstore has been popular for some time now? A pitifully small number.
Previously, the blame could be placed on the Bookstore's small size, the limited number of cultivators reading there, and issues with comprehension—a haphazard approach that could barely smooth things over. However, now that the system has been upgraded, the Bookstore has expanded to 400 square meters, accommodating 150 people at a time. If the Bookstore doesn't add more books, what will 150 cultivators be reading then?
We can't expect everyone to come in and watch the projections every day! Watching this kind of thing doesn't bring any benefit to them, so who has so many Spirit Crystal to buy a special account to watch how others run dungeons?
Therefore, the 300 Blue Quality books included in the system upgrade gift pack are just in time!
"Creak."
Ma Feifei was marveling at how timely the arrival of the three hundred books was when suddenly the back door opened, and Yun Qingyang walked in carrying Six-tailed.
At first, Yun Qingyang seemed normal, but as she walked, she realized something was wrong, so she stopped and looked around.
"Spatial array?"
