Bookstore Upgrade-Large Bookstore System (3/3)
The imperial examination lasted for three days. During this time, the inner city was kept wide open and the palace remained open. Thirty thousand students did not eat or drink, relying on their Vast Righteousness to replenish themselves as they worked on their questions.
In the sky, nine beams of light converged into one point, and Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, sat cross-legged on it for more than three days.
The white vapor above the heads of more than 30,000 students was already very Overgrow, with the tallest reaching nine zhang (approximately 33 meters) and the shortest exceeding five chi (approximately 1.5 meters).
It wasn't until the fourth day, at sunrise, that this continued.
"Buzz~!"
A ripple appeared in the space, the nine pillars of light disappeared, the nine Book-holding woman returned to their original positions, and the points of intersection also vanished at that moment. Ma Feifei, who had been sitting cross-legged, stood up, his body radiating light.
"Boom!"
Thunderclouds suddenly began to gather in the sky, emitting a muffled sound.
But in a moment, these thunderclouds disappeared as if they had never been there.
Ma Feifei lazily stretched towards the sky.
"Ding! Ding! Congratulations, host, on completing the large-scale cultural invasion mission Path of Imperial Examination '!"
'Mission Reward: Countries that hold imperial examinations will receive the blessing of Righteous Qi, Flourishing of the Confucian Way, and everyone who reads can comprehend this Vast Righteousness and increase their cultivation.'
'Host rewards: Obtain the title of Supreme Sage Teacher, possess the grand ambition of governing a nation, and achieve the Immortal Realm.'
"Pop!"
As the system notification sounded, a crisp sound echoed between heaven and earth, and a faint aura descended from the sky and sank into the earth.
"Huh? Why do I feel a strange aura within my body?" A cultivator asked, his eyes closed as he sensed the faint aura emanating from within him.
"Me too, it seems like I can merge with Spiritual Power." The surrounding cultivators began to discuss among themselves.
"I know! It's the Righteous Qi! We can cultivate the Righteous Qi too!" a cultivator who knew the origin of this aura suddenly shouted.
"Righteous Qi!" Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at Ma Feifei in the sky, their eyes filled with amazement.
Ma Feifei didn't have time to listen to the astonishment of the group below, because in addition to the large-scale cultural invasion mission, he also received a notification about the completion of the mission concerning the Book-holding woman.
'Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the Side Quest - The Book-holding woman.'
'Congratulations, host, you have received the mission reward: nine fragments of the Tianshu Fragment.'
Immediately afterward, a flash of light appeared, and nine orange Tianshu Fragment appeared in Ma Feifei's hand.
"I'm rich now, I have nine pages all at once." Ma Feifei looked at the nine Tianshu Fragment in his hand, feeling quite pleased with himself. With these nine Tianshu Fragment, Ma Feifei's collection of Tianshu Fragment had successfully increased from single digits to double digits, which could be considered a qualitative leap.
However, there are only ninety-nine pages in total for the Tianshu Fragment, and obtaining them all is a long and arduous task; it is unlikely that it can be completed in a short period of time.
"Take your time, no rush." Feeling the surging power within him, Ma Feifei, now in the Immortal Realm, was filled with confidence for the future.
Based on his original lifespan, he is only twenty years old this year. A twenty-year-old immortal is extremely rare in the entire Azure Dragon Continent. Ma Feifei believes that if he is given another ten or eight years, with the help of the system, he can definitely reach the Ninth-Grade Immortal Realm.
By then, there probably wouldn't be many people on that Book Battle Continent who could defeat him, right?
"Let's set a small goal first: I'll go to the Book Battle Continent and see what the world is like there once I reach the Ninth-Grade Immortal Realm," Ma Feifei thought to himself as he put away the nine Tianshu Fragment.
"Ding~!"
Suddenly, just as Ma Feifei was preparing to land, the system notification sounded in his mind again.
"I don't remember completing any missions?" Ma Feifei thought, frowning.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have met the system upgrade requirements. Starting immediately, the Mysterious Bookstore will undergo a one-week upgrade. During this week, the Mysterious Bookstore will be closed to all personnel. After the upgrade is complete, the system will unlock more permissions."
"Ding! The following permissions have been granted after the system upgrade:"
1. The system has been upgraded to the Large Bookstore System level, LV4.
Second: Unlock access to Mythic-grade quality books.
Third: The Mysterious Bookstore's area has been expanded to 100,000 square meters, increasing the number of customers who can enter the Bookstore to 5,000.
Fourth: The system will no longer release any Side Quest to the host, only retaining one Main Quest.
Fifth: The host's permission is upgraded to that of a major store owner, allowing them to open the book world of any book on the bookshelf at any time and issue tasks within that book world.
Six: Open the shop owner exclusive instance. The shop owner can enter the instance to obtain any items needed by the author.
7. Activate employee position authorization: The store owner can promote employees within the Mysterious Bookstore. Different levels of employees will have different authorization rights for the Bookstore. (For example, branch store owners will have initial level one store owner authorization, which allows them to control the Bookstore's defense system, except for controlling the books.)
8. Enable the Bookstore relocation permission. From now on, the host can move the Bookstore at will. The Bookstore relocation permission can only be used once a month, and the main store cannot be too close to the branch stores to prevent overlapping market share.
Nine: Open the Book Garden.
There were a total of eight or nine licenses, and Ma Feifei watched them all intently from mid-air.
But in reality, Ma Feifei didn't really understand most of them, such as Articles 5, 6, and 9, because he had no idea what the actual situation was.
Especially point number nine: What's this "Book Garden" thing? Never heard of it! Where is it?
Ma Feifei searched his mind for a long time but couldn't find the Book Garden. In the end, he had no choice but to give up, exit the Bookstore System, glance down and find that everyone was looking up at him. He felt a slight chill on the soles of his feet, and then turned around and disappeared into thin air.
"Shopkeeper!"
"Teacher!"
"Sir, the owner..."
As soon as Ma Feifei came down, a group of people who had been waiting on the hill rushed up and surrounded Ma Feifei, their faces filled with amazement.
"Shopkeeper, you seem a little different!" Azi spoke first, pointing at Ma Feifei's face and asking.
"What's different?" Ma Feifei glanced down at herself and asked casually.
"Hmm..." Azi couldn't explain it for a moment, and pointed at Ma Feifei, pondering for a long time.
"Aura." Chang Kong spoke up then, his gaze towards Ma Feifei changing, now filled with shock. He bowed to Ma Feifei, saying, "Congratulations, teacher! Congratulations on reaching the Immortal Realm!"
"The Immortal Realm!" Some people gasped softly upon hearing this, but most remained calm. After all, he was the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, and they wouldn't be surprised if he were at an even higher realm, let alone an immortal.
Ma Feifei waved his hand and laughed, "I can't let our Bookstore hold us back, can I?"
Nowadays, half of the employees in the Mysterious Bookstore are from the Immortal Realm. As the owner, it would be unreasonable for Ma Feifei to be inferior to even his own employees.
Of course, this idea has only just come to mind. You should know that since Ma Feifei met Yun Qingyang, his cultivation level has not reached the top in the Bookstore for more than a year, not to mention the appearance of Luan Feng, Ba Jiu, Sky-reaching Ape Monkey and others.
"Alright, alright, now that we're done with our work, we should go see the doctor." Yun Qingyang hadn't spoken until now, saw Ma Feifei starting to boast and grabbed his hand, looking at Ma Feifei behind them, and Ling Xian, "Come quickly and see if there's any hope for him."
Ma Feifei: "???"
