The day after the travel restrictions were lifted, Ling Yi's small supermarket inexplicably became popular again.
The internet has even given Ling Yi the nickname "The Boss Who Lies Down and Doesn't Work" (a play on words, as "lying down and doing nothing" in Chinese).
Ling Yi, or more accurately, the original owner's account on Slow Foot, was also exposed, and inexplicably gained hundreds of thousands of followers.
To be honest, Ling Yi really doesn't understand what netizens are thinking these days. How did a small, run-down supermarket owner become famous?
Every day, various livestreamers and internet celebrities come here to try and gain traffic.
But when it comes to internet traffic, it's really hard to say who's piggybacking on whom.
Ling Yi estimates that without these online celebrities and livestreamers, Ling Yi probably wouldn't be so popular.
On the contrary, these online celebrities and livestreamers are bringing Ling Yi more and more traffic.
Customers buy their own goods, take them themselves, calculate the cost themselves, and scan the code themselves.
If the goods run out, the customers will restock for Ling Yi, Ling Yi only needs to pay for the goods.
Some people even felt that the supermarket was too small to accommodate so many people, and that it was difficult for them to even check in.
They were actually discussing expanding Ling Yi's supermarket.
Fortunately, Ling Yi declared that expansion was out of the question, and if anyone brought up the matter again, he would shut the business down.
At first, Ling Yi was a little annoyed, but Later he realized that it was just a matter of more people and more noise. It didn't affect his ability to relax and be lazy, nor did it affect his cultivation and becoming stronger.
Let these people do whatever they want.
It probably won't be long before the netizens' initial excitement subsides, and the crowd will gradually disperse.
Such sudden surges in popularity are the least sustainable.
But you have to admit, being famous does have its advantages.
In the past two days, Ling Yi's shabby little supermarket has been making over 30,000 yuan in sales every day.
The net profit is also around ten thousand.
That's absolutely outrageous.
Oh, by the way, it seems some manufacturers are asking me to advertise for them today. They'll pay 100,000 yuan a month just for hanging a banner on the wall.
Although Ling Yi's supermarket is small, it can still hang a dozen or so banners without any problem.
In other words, if Ling Yi wanted to, he could earn a million a month.
No wonder everyone wants to be an internet celebrity; making money here is just too easy.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi is not short of money right now and has no intention of making any.
Moreover, Ling Yi estimated that this small supermarket wouldn't be open for long.
Ye Ling'er has already returned to China and will probably be here in the next couple of days. I'll likely go to the Fantasy Battlefield with Ye Ling'er then.
To put it bluntly, Ling Yi is changing the Map, so naturally the supermarket can't stay open anymore.
Around 8 p. m., Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the bed.
A small, silver-white sword, like a swimming fish, circled around Ling Yi.
It looks full of spirituality.
This small sword is the Legend Flying Sword, which Ling Yi obtained by triggering the effect of the True Word.
With a thought, Ling Yi opened his data panel.
[ Ling Yi ]
[ Spirit Transformation Realm Seventh Layer (15%) Spiritual Power: 9800/9800]
[ Master Realm Late Stage (1%) Gang Jin: 4320/4320]
[ Body Tempering Art, Qi Refining Art, Saber Art, Barbarian Step, Earth-Splitting Slash, Breath Concealment Technique, Sword Control Technique, Ten Thousand Swords Art, Heavenly Sword Art, Nine Gods Mantra, Talisman Technique, Formation Technique, Five Elements Escape Techniques...]
[ Phantom Demon: Lie Hu (100%), Demonized Wine Sword Immortal (100%)]
[Additional: Variant Martial Practitioner, Infinite Life Pool, Illusion Spirit Information Database, Fantasy World Information Database!]
Ling Yi has received the complete inheritance of the Wine Sword Immortal, including his cultivation level.
Ling Yi originally planned to wait for Yin Lingsu to send him some Spirit Stone so he could use them to set up an advanced Concealment Formation Spirit Stone then use the Formation's concealment effect to shield the Aura of the inheritance.
However, Ling Yi Later discovered that as his Spiritual Power increased, he could use Talisman Technique to create high-level talismans that concealed his Aura.
Furthermore, by using high-level talismans to form a talisman Formation, one can also shield the inherited Aura and special effects.
Previously, Ling Yi lacked sufficient Spiritual Power, which prevented him from drawing high-level talismans. Now that Ling Yi can freely expend his Spiritual Power, there is naturally no problem.
The previous data panel was too rudimentary, so Ling Yi updated it using the power of the True Word, resulting in its current appearance.
Although it's still rudimentary, at least it shows everything that needs to be shown.
"Hehe, I wonder what realm Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation corresponds to in Illusion Martial Practitioner!" Ling Yi laughed.
The Golden Core Realm is equivalent to the Immortal Tier in Illusion Martial Practitioner, while the Nascent Soul Realm is equivalent to the God Tier in Illusion Martial Practitioner.
What about the Void Refinement Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm?
Wouldn't that be Transcendent God Tier, Transcendent Transcendent God Tier?
Just as Ling Yi was lost in thought, he suddenly Perception a surge of energy in front of him.
The next moment, a welding arc appeared out of thin air, and then Ye Ling'er, dressed in a white tracksuit, walked out of the arc.
Huh? This aperture effect looks so familiar!
"No, beautiful lady, aren't you afraid of seeing something you shouldn't and getting a sty?" Ling Yi said speechlessly.
"So, are you a needle?" Ye Ling'er retorted.
As expected of you, Ye Ling'er, Ling Yi is defeated.
"Is this the power of your first Illusion Spirit?" Ling Yi asked.
"To be precise, it's the First Phantom Demon," Ye Ling'er explained.
"What? You mean you're Demon Martial Practitioner?" Ling Yi asked, somewhat surprised.
"I am both Demon Martial Practitioner and Illusion Martial Practitioner."
Is this even possible? Magical dual cultivation? But how is that even possible?
Demon Martial Practitioner is Demon Martial Practitioner, Illusion Martial Practitioner is Illusion Martial Practitioner. I've never heard of anyone being both Demon Martial Practitioner and Illusion Martial Practitioner.
Hmm, no, that doesn't seem right, there might actually be one possibility.
"So, you became Demon Martial Practitioner before you were sixteen, Contract your first Phantom Demon, and then bound yourself to your first Illusion Spirit at the age of sixteen?"
Ye Ling'er gave Ling Yi a thumbs up. "Smart!"
"That's really true. Then guess what my first Phantom Demon is?"
"A bald woman."
"You knew all along!"
Ye Ling'er waved her hand, and two figures appeared beside her.
[ Ancient One ( God Seventh Tier ): From the Marvel Fantasy World, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, wielding powerful spatial and temporal magic, 100% compatibility!]
[ Zhao Ling'er ( Mortal Fourth Tier ): From the Fantasy World of the game Chinese Paladin 1, a descendant of Nüwa, possessing Innate Divinity Body, mastering the Five Elements Immortal Arts and Spirit Severing Innate Divine Ability of the divine race, compatibility 65%!]
It really is the Ancient One.
However, was the Ancient One only at the God Seventh Tier Realm?
This is much lower than I expected!
The God Seventh Tier Nascent Soul Seventh Layer of the Nascent Soul stage in the cultivation world.
Could it be that the Ancient One's strength was only equivalent to that of the Nascent Soul Realm?
The Ancient One possessed the power of time and space magic.
However, Ling Yi quickly found the answer in the Fantasy World Database.
The time and space magic mastered by the Ancient One is a unique form of time and space magic specific to the Marvel Fantasy World, and it is subject to many restrictions.
After becoming Phantom Demon and arriving in the real world, both time and space magic were significantly Weaken.
For example, this Spatial Teleportation can only be opened within a ten-kilometer radius.
Moreover, it must be a place you've already visited.
For example, time magic can only Time Stop within a range of 100 meters, but using this Time Stop technique consumes a lot of Divine Power.
Furthermore, it can only be maintained for a maximum of three seconds.
To put it simply, the Ancient One is a powerful being in the Marvel Fantasy World. Once she leaves the Marvel Universe, her strength will be greatly reduced due to the limitations of the rules.
To put it another way, the rules of the Marvel Universe don't match the universal rules of all universes.
In the Marvel Universe, the Ancient One is undeniably powerful, but in other worlds, her strength would be significantly diminished.
Even though it's a weaker version of the Ancient One, she's still very strong.
"How did you Contract with the Ancient One?" Ling Yi was really curious about this.
"Of course, I initiated the Contract." Before Ye Ling'er could speak, the Ancient One spoke first.
