On Xu Yi's second day in Anvilmar City, which was also the first day of the Mages' Guild's Qualification Certification Examination, most of the city's mages flocked to the examination site. Meanwhile, a huge shop held its grand opening on Champs-Élysées Avenue, the busiest street in Anvilmar City.
The shop occupied more than a thousand square meters on Champs-Élysées Avenue, and countless luxurious carriages bearing various noble crests stood outside its doors on opening day. It immediately drew everyone's attention.
When people saw the sign hanging above the newly opened shop, they usually paused in surprise. They were familiar with the word "Walmart," but although they could read the remaining words, "Household Magic Machinery Mall," they had no idea what they meant.
Indeed, the shop was called the Walmart Household Magic Machinery Mall.
Of course, their confusion lasted only a short while before recognition dawned.
More than half a month earlier, the Walmart Merchant Guild had begun placing advertisements in newspapers large and small throughout Bunta City. It had also put up huge advertisements everywhere notices could be posted along Anvilmar City's streets and alleys, and had even hired numerous people with time on their hands to distribute flyers throughout the city, shouting out their promotions as they went.
Under such a powerful advertising campaign, any resident of Anvilmar City who still did not know that the Walmart Household Magic Machinery Mall was opening today must have been out of town all this time-or else blind and deaf.
Although many people in Anvilmar City had gained some understanding of household magic machinery through reports in local newspapers and the Xinfei household magic machinery specialty shop opened by Victor and his two companions, they actually accounted for only a small proportion of the city's population, and their understanding was hardly thorough.
