There were generally two brands of general stores: Black Cat and Naughty Bear.
Black Cat was a European witch brand. It had to be said that as long as European witches weren't crazy, they were still more reliable than Eastern witches when it came to manufacturing civilian-use props. After all, they had long been a holy land of magic and were still in a state of daily internal strife; it was only natural that their spells and props had developed beyond those at home.
Yet strangely, although it was a European brand and functioned as a convenience store in Europe, back home it had evolved into a distinctive building found in Eastern witch districts. It was rather odd—perhaps it should be called "Easternization"?
As for Naughty Bear, one could tell from the name alone that it was a general store brand introduced through cooperation between Big Mao and the domestic side, filled with all manner of interesting things.
Its goods might not necessarily be more practical than those in a Black Cat general store, but they were definitely more fun.
Black Cat general stores were all about practicality. If you really wanted a laugh, you had to look to Naughty Bear general stores.
There was a Black Cat general store on the Sky Island where Jiang Han's family lived, along with around twenty convenience stores. It was, after all, a residential area for middle-class witches, so the facilities were all quite complete. But she had never visited a Naughty Bear general store before. The moment she walked in, it felt like entering a toy house.
"I'm going to check how much the sand-proof spells cost. I'm planning to buy two and put them on my tent." Jiang Miao seemed to be back in her own home the moment she arrived.
