Bookstore Reform (1/5)

This time, the world in the book brings a different visual experience, such as the colossal dragon that blots out the sky and the towering giant that reaches into the clouds. Then, the two sides engage in a battle of strength, which causes mountains to Fissure to crack, and lightning to strike.

Whether it's exciting or not is undoubtedly true, but as exciting as it is, the ultimate goal is to see what benefits one can gain from the world within the book.

Now, things have turned out differently. After the fight, it was simply glossed over, and the crucial gains went unnoticed.

"There should be, right?" a cultivator below said uncertainly. The world within this book was clearly of a higher level than the worlds within the previous books.

Based on the previous classification of books by Mysterious Bookstore, the higher the quality of the book, the higher the profit. This book is newly released and of higher quality than other books, so people will naturally be curious about what kind of profit it will bring.

"It definitely exists, we just haven't discovered it yet. But since it triggered the world in the book, the book should be on the shelves by now. No, I have to go in and take a look!" An old man said, and rushed towards the Bookstore entrance.

"Hey hey hey~~ I want to go in and see too!"

"I'm the voter for today! Get out of my way!"

"I have traveled thousands of miles just to have a look inside this Bookstore. I hope you will do me the honor."

Suddenly, everyone burst into a frenzy, like chicks released from their coop, squawking and yelling as they rushed toward the Bookstore. Instantly, the entire street began to sway with shouts and cries.

"Everyone!" Zhang Yunji and Ba Jiu stepped onto the stairs, their backs to the closed Bookstore doors, and shouted to the people crowding towards them below.

When everyone saw that it was Zhang Yunji, Bookstore employee, and noticed that the Bookstore doors were closed and there was a notice posted on them, they realized that the Bookstore had just closed down and the notice had been put up. They stopped pushing and shoving and stood there looking at Zhang Yunji.

"Brother Yunji, please open the door. I bought a special number for today, and it would be a waste if I didn't go in soon!" A middle-aged man in a green robe stood at the front. One of his black boots had been stepped on and lost, but he didn't seem to mind. He stood there in his white socks, a warm smile on his face, and said to Zhang Yunji.

Zhang Yunji glanced at the other person's attire, his eyelids twitched, and he unconsciously took a step back. How could he possibly be on friendly terms with someone like this? Definitely not.

"Esteemed guests, the Bookstore has been open since early this morning. It's just that you didn't check tickets. Since you missed the ticket check time and the Bookstore is closed, today's special number is naturally invalid," Zhang Yunji said with amusement. These people are really asking for trouble, daring to use this method to boycott the Mysterious Bookstore, forcing the owner Ma Feifei, to come out and give everyone an explanation under pressure.

How is that possible?

What kind of industry is the Mysterious Bookstore? It's a monopoly! Is there any other Bookstore on the entire Azure Dragon Continent besides the Mysterious Bookstore?

Have!

However, those Bookstore cannot profit from the books, let alone trigger the worlds within them.

To think that Bookstore that can bring various benefits to cultivators, such as cultivation level, martial arts techniques, spiritual weapons, and little spirits, would actually want to boycott it is simply short-sighted.

"Brother Yunji! I'm not trying to boycott Mysterious Bookstore, I'm just late, really late!" A young man dressed as a scholar shouted from the crowd, his hat askew and his clothes disheveled, probably having just crawled out of the Yihong Tower.

Regardless of whether you want to boycott the Mysterious Bookstore or not, now that the Bookstore is closed and no one is coming, he has to follow Ma Feifei's orders, right?

Zhang Yunji immediately shook his head and said, "If you say it's closed, then Mysterious Bookstore will remain in this state until it reopens. No matter what you say, it's useless."

"May I ask when your store will open?" A cheerful voice came from above.

Zhang Yunji looked up and squinted, only to find it was the handsome man whom Grand Dean Cang Lan previously called "the Qingcheng Xian": "Our shop owner says when to open, and that's when we'll open."

Upon hearing this, Qingcheng Xian finally gave a wry smile and said, "Then it seems I'll have to buy a few more exclusive phone numbers."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yunji shook his head and said, "From this day forward, the exclusive number will no longer be accepted as proof of entry to the Mysterious Bookstore."

"Hiss~!"

Zhang Yunji's words caused an uproar throughout the entire street! The exclusive admission ticket that the Mysterious Bookstore had used for a year was going to be phased out starting today!

"What will happen after that?" one cultivator exclaimed. If the exclusive numbers are cancelled, how will people enter the Bookstore?

Free? That's impossible. If the Mysterious Bookstore were to operate for free, it might as well just close down.

"Exactly! Give us a set of rules first, so we can all prepare!" Changing the ticketing method isn't a problem; they're all pretty much the same anyway. What everyone's concerned about is what the entry method will be like in the future.

Zhang Yunji gestured for everyone to be quiet. Once the noise subsided, Zhang Yunji said, "First of all, our shopkeeper has used his supreme martial arts to expand the Bookstore's interior space. Therefore, our Mysterious Bookstore will be able to accommodate over five thousand book lovers!"

"Hiss~!"

"More than five thousand people! That's incredibly strong!" one cultivator exclaimed in amazement.

If the Mysterious Bookstore can attract 5,000 visitors every day, then even with the million-strong population of Dubian Town, it would only take 200 days, or a little over half a year, to see everyone there.

In this way, almost all cultivators will no longer need to purchase expensive exclusive numbers to have the opportunity to enter the Mysterious Bookstore and read books.

The latest it will be is no more than half a year. For these cultivators, half a year is just a period of seclusion.

"The shopkeeper is wise!" A cultivator who had never been to the Mysterious Bookstore before suddenly burst into tears of excitement. He was clutching a special number in his hand, a number that was already booked for five years in advance, but he himself couldn't come up with more than 100,000 Spirit Crystal to snatch a recent special number.

If he continues in this order, he will have to wait five years before he can enter the Mysterious Bookstore to read books.

Five years! In this fantasy world where cultivation is paramount, whether he would have been killed in five years is a question mark.

The Bookstore is now undergoing a major overhaul, with the number of customers entering the Bookstore daily increasing to over five thousand. So even if he manages to buy the last ticket, he will only have to wait six months, which is a world of difference compared to the current five years!
