The Mysterious Bookstore Reopened (4/5)

On March 1st of the First Year of Qiongyu, seven days had passed since the Mysterious Bookstore had closed indefinitely. In those seven days, the entire Dubian Town had undergone earth-shattering changes.

First, the continuous loss of population not only stopped, but also, because a new book appeared in the Mysterious Bookstore, the world within the book became known. After everyone witnessed the giants that were as tall as the sky and the sky-covering behemoths, the wonders of the Mysterious Bookstore once again attracted a large number of cultivators through word of mouth.

Especially those Spirit Saint monsters who were once unparalleled, even those who had stepped into the Immortal Realm, all came to inquire. Under these circumstances, Dubian Town once again became the most prosperous town in the entire northwestern border region, and it became more and more lively every day.

Secondly, the Mysterious Bookstore's decision to cancel the exclusive phone number and switch to Book Card membership system is also very attractive to practitioners. Previously, exclusive phone numbers were one-time use only, and once they were used up, they were gone. It was unknown whether they could buy another one, or for what period of time, so it was somewhat inconvenient for many people.

But things are different now. As long as you become a member of the Mysterious Bookstore and get a Book Card, whether it's gold, silver, or bronze, it guarantees you the right to enter the Bookstore and browse books once within a certain period.

In this way, everyone knows when they will next visit the Bookstore, develops a sense of time, and will have more anticipation for the Mysterious Bookstore.

Unfortunately, since the membership system was introduced, the Mysterious Bookstore has still not opened, which has really made those cultivators who have already purchased Book Card extremely anxious.

Those who didn't manage to buy Book Card are equally anxious, because the Book Card's release date is determined by the time when previously Book Card have been available.

This means that people who come later must wait until the person in front of them uses their Book Card to enter the Mysterious Bookstore before they can buy Book Card for the next day. This process is repeated to ensure that everyone can enter the Mysterious Bookstore to read books at fixed times.

This is what's known as the time difference.

In addition, Zhou Wuji, the mayor of Dubian Town, recently issued a notice clarifying that the previous "Sky-reaching Ape Monkey Incident" had nothing to do with the Mysterious Bookstore, and that all 92,000-plus people who died had been resurrected by Ma Feifei, the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore, using the "Reversal" technique. However, due to special reasons, they cannot leave their current location.

Finally, to verify the facts, Mayor Zhou Wuji even brought some 'highly respected' celebrities along to check, and naturally, it ended perfectly.

After all, the Reversal technique that could bring more than 90,000 people back to life was something that everyone thought was impossible, yet someone in this world actually managed to do it.

Perhaps people would have been skeptical if it were someone else, but the instigator was Ma Feifei from Mysterious Bookstore, and there were even official personnel from the Chu Kingdom testifying to this, so everyone actually believed it in the end.

Thus, the news that the owner of the Mysterious Bookstore possessed the ability to 'Reversal' and had resurrected more than 90,000 people spread like wildfire throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, becoming a topic of conversation for everyone.

After this whitewashing, the Mysterious Bookstore naturally became a place that everyone both respected and longed for again, so the return of visitors to Dubian Town is not surprising.

Ma Feifei has been having a very comfortable time these past few days. He's enjoying the peace and quiet of not having to open the shop. He sleeps until noon every day, and someone has already prepared a meal for him. After eating, he takes a nap or goes to the Book Garden to look at the thriving saplings. Then, in the evening, he walks back with an air of nonchalance.

I would hide in my room at night and chat with Teacher Bai about our feelings, and that was how the day passed—peaceful and comfortable.

It wasn't until March 1st that Ma Feifei allowed Zhang Yunji and Luan Feng to open the Bookstore's doors, officially commencing business from that day forward!

Early in the morning, while it was still barely light, some Early Bird risers entered and exited the Wantong Trading Market, glancing at the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore see if it would be open that day.

Some servants sent by wealthy families squatted in various corners or leaned against beams, staring at the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore, hoping to get the latest information about the Mysterious Bookstore so they could report back to their masters.

"Crunch~"

Suddenly, the crisp sound of the door opening rang out.

The cultivators walking along the long street suddenly stopped in their tracks, and the servants who had been dozing off against the pillars also perked up and subconsciously looked up at the Mysterious Bookstore.

Standing at the entrance of the Mysterious Bookstore, Zhang Yunji smiled at the crowd and bowed, saying, "The Mysterious Bookstore is opening today. Welcome to come in and browse our books."

There was a stunned silence for about five seconds, before a single sentence ignited the entire street.

"The Mysterious Bookstore is now open!"

"Master, master, quickly take the token and go inside!" In a corner, a servant was helping an elderly man with white hair, and he called out urgently.

"Ah? Open for business? Quickly, help this old man inside." The old man's voice was hoarse as he spoke. He stood up shakily, clutching a matching Book Card in his hand, and swayed as he walked towards the Bookstore with the help of his servant.

Unfortunately, the Silver Book Card, Bronze Book Card, and Gold Book Card are slightly different. Although everyone has the right to enter the Bookstore periodically, the Mysterious Bookstore only sold one thousand Gold Book Card at the beginning, but sold more than one hundred thousand Silver Book Card and Bronze Book Card.

However, the Bookstore can only admit 5,000 people per day. After deducting the 1,000 people with Gold Book Card Silver Book Card, the reading quota is only allocated to 4,000 people with silver and Bronze Book Card. With hundreds of thousands of Silver Book Cards and Bronze Book Card, it is certainly impossible for all of them to enter the Bookstore on the first day. Everyone has to take turns.

So how does it work? Of course, whoever arrives first gets the right to enter the Bookstore and browse the books, and those who come later can only wait their turn.

As a result, many cultivators began loitering in front of the Mysterious Bookstore, most of whom possessed Book Card and waited patiently to be the first to enter and browse Bookstore books.

With a loud "boom!", all the cultivators on the entire street crowded into the Mysterious Bookstore.

The elderly man who was closest was pushed out of the crowd because he was walking slowly.

"I have Bronze Book Card, let me in."

"Brother Yunji, please take a look at my Silver Book Card!"

"Get the Laozi out of my way! Laozi 'm the Supreme Gold Book Card!"

Such voices rose and fell, and people pushed and shoved, each hoping to be among the first to enter the Mysterious Bookstore and browse the books.

"You bastards! You're trying to murder this old man!" The old man was pushed to the side, glaring Rage at the crowd before him. His mouth gaped wider and wider until he finally collapsed, unable to catch his breath, and died...

"Master!"
