Employment Relationship

"I hope that during these three months, everyone will not only be harmonious and friendly, but also do their best to promote their books. I will have someone record your daily reading volume. On the day the contract ends, I will make a supplementary reward based on your reading volume ranking. At that time, the top three people will receive a big gift package from our Mysterious Bookstore."

To prevent them from using the most useless paragraphs to fill in the blanks, Ma Feifei felt they needed to increase the rewards. As for what the big gift package would be, they could talk about it later! Anyway, any amount was a token of their affection!

Although the thirty-six people opposite them all had terrifying backgrounds, they still didn't dare to put on airs when facing Ma Feifei, and they all nodded to indicate that they understood.

Of course, not everyone listens.

"Shopkeeper, let me go back! I want to unify the Azure Dragon Continent!" Qin Shi Huang said in a deep voice, stroking his black greatsword.

Looking at Qin Shi Huang, Ma Feifei was also at a loss. After spending the last few days with him, Ma Feifei realized that he was truly insane. He had a deep obsession with unifying the Azure Dragon Continent. Even if Ma Feifei promised him greater benefits, Qin Shi Huang was unmoved. He was determined to go back and attack the Yan State, then devour it one by one to complete the unification.

But Ma Feifei couldn't just let Qin Shi Huang go like that! So when soft tactics failed, he had to resort to hard ones, letting the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey beat him up a few times before he calmed down. But unexpectedly, it started again now.

"This is the Mysterious Bookstore. Since you've entered the Investiture of the Gods, it means you've agreed to a three-month employment relationship with the Mysterious Bookstore. So even if you want to ascend to heaven, you'll have to wait three months!" Ma Feifei stared seriously at Qin Shi Huang and said.

Qin Shi Huang glanced at Ma Feifei and ultimately chose to compromise. Although he was insane, he wasn't stupid. Under these circumstances, he really didn't dare to confront Ma Feifei head-on.

"When I return, wielding the Imperial Seal of the Son of Heaven, I will surely suppress you all!"

Ma Feifei didn't care what Qin Shi Huang was thinking. He had already said what needed to be said in the past two days, and Ma Feifei felt there was nothing else to explain. Estimating that the time was about right, he said, "Since everyone understands, then let's all take our positions."

After speaking, Ma Feifei was the first to leave the Green Grassland and walk out of the private room.

The thirty-six people looked at each other and followed.

Outside the Mysterious Bookstore, things were a little different today. In addition to the crowds thronging outside, there were long tables and benches lined up in front of the Bookstore, but they were empty and there was no explanation, which really puzzled the cultivators gathered on the street.

"This must be something new that's coming out today, right?" a cultivator holding a magic array umbrella guessed.

"What's so new about a few dozen tables and chairs?" a nearby cultivator replied. Tables and chairs are the most common things; who doesn't have a few in their home?

"These are tables from the Mysterious Bookstore. Who knows, they might have some magical effects?" A cultivator looked at the row of tables in the Bookstore with Covet in his eyes. He wanted to go up and touch them, but he was afraid of being blamed by the Mysterious Bookstore, so Flinch and dared not go forward.

"Boom~~"

A rumble of thunder sounded in the sky, and the rain intensified, but the number of cultivators watching along the long street only increased, completely unaffected by the downpour. Some didn't even use umbrellas, instead using their Spiritual Power to protect their entire bodies, all so they could get a close look at the new items that the Mysterious Bookstore would be releasing today.

"Those who wish to enter the Bookstore today, please line up for ticket inspection." At nine o'clock, Zhang Yunji began checking tickets. Immediately, a group of cultivators lined up and showed their tickets to Zhang Yunji for inspection before entering the Bookstore. However, each of them would glance around at the row of long tables and benches in front of the Bookstore, looking quite curious.

Zhang Yunji didn't explain further and continued checking his tickets.

No one seemed to notice anything unusual; they proceeded with the usual ticket check and entry. The onlookers outside were filled with anticipation, eager to see what new things the Mysterious Bookstore would have in store this time.

As they watched, they noticed an elderly man in a white robe emerge from inside. He found a table among the thirty-six long tables in front of the Bookstore, sat down, and sat with his head bowed, expressionless. The heavy rain poured down from the eaves, some splashing onto the old man's trouser legs, but he remained motionless, lost in thought.

"This old man looks familiar!" a cultivator said, frowning.

"Familiar? Do you know him?" A cultivator beside him quickly asked. The old man walked directly out of the Bookstore and sat at one of the thirty-six tables set up at the entrance. According to everyone's guess, this must be related to the new items that the Mysterious Bookstore was going to release today.

"It seems to be Qiu Yunzi, the Supreme Elder of the Shangqing Sect." The previous cultivator was not quite sure either, and his words were hesitant.

"Impossible! It's said that the Supreme Elder Qiu Yunzi of the Shangqing Sect has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and no one has ever heard of him coming out of seclusion!" One cultivator shook his head, clearly not believing the other cultivator's words.

"Your information is way outdated," another cultivator interjected. "A while ago, a mysterious figure appeared in the Qi State Kingdom and kidnapped Qiu Yunzi, the Supreme Elder of the Shangqing Sect. It's said that it caused quite a stir in the Qi State Kingdom at the time."

"Hiss! So this person is really Qiu Yunzi, the Supreme Elder of the Shangqing Sect?" Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed surprise. They already knew about the incidents of many people being kidnapped in Qi State some time ago. In fact, it wasn't just Qi State; other countries had also experienced similar situations, and even the kings of four countries were eventually kidnapped.

Most people believe that the people who kidnapped the king and those who kidnapped these major sects, families, and powers were the same group. If this reasoning holds true, does it mean that with Qiu Yunzi's appearance, others will soon follow?

"Oh my god!"

"The Fairy Lingyun Fairy, ranked second on the Fairy Ranking!"

Another commotion erupted as a stunningly beautiful woman in a blue dress emerged from the Bookstore. Like Qiu Yunzi, she found a seat, took out a bamboo hat, and covered her head, seemingly afraid of being stared at by a group of people.

"This is the leader of the Dragon Tiger Gate..."

"She is the daughter of the president of the Great Shang in the Yan State Wenshang Chamber of Commerce!"

"Qianmu Shuiling, the Zhao State's Number One Beauty."

"The Qi State's Number One Villain, the Zuo Duanshou!"

"..."

Each person who walked out of the Bookstore elicited gasps of surprise from the onlookers, and as each name was called out, the shock in the onlookers grew stronger.

These are all figures renowned throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent! Not to mention cultivators, very few ordinary people are unaware of them.

Especially towards the end...
