Chapter 406: The Musical Festival and the King of Fighters Competition

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Mr. Fang looked at the task in embarrassment. “Can we talk about it? This is an internet café after all. Which internet café holds new year parties?”

Although this was another world, people also had the concept of years; they derived 12 months for each year according to the movements of the sun, the moon, and other stars. Therefore, there was the concept of a new year as well.

Since Mr. Fang discovered that Half City and Jiuhua City were in the same time zone, he didn’t have to worry about hosting several new year parties.

The other issue was shop upgrades.

A prompt appeared on the System Interface. [The income of crystals has provided enough energy for another shop upgrade; you can upgrade them again.]

When the Legend of Mir 2 went online, the computers in each of the two shops increased to around 2,000 in a short period, which was obviously a big strain on the energy.

But a long while had passed since the last upgrade.

There were 2,000 computers in Half City Shop, and Jiuhua City Shop had over 2,000 computers if one were to add the computers in the ordinary player’s zone and guild zone. Also, the popularity of the games had went from great to splendid. Now, the two shops were packed from day to night, so they made a lot of crystals.

With thousands of computers, even though it only cost two crystals for each hour per person, the income for one hour was almost 10,000 crystals, not including the sales of other stuff.

Including the activations of moves, TV Series, and all kinds of games as well as the sales of snacks, the total revenue had amounted to tens of millions of crystals in the last few months.

Of course, this was the amount that the System earned. However, Mr. Fang’s share had made him a millionaire already.

For ordinary civilians, this might be an astronomical number, but for the warriors and cultivators who must spend many crystals to cultivate each month, this income was quite normal.

Anyway, since Mr. Fang was now rich, he had been considering buying a high-end shop front.

While he received the task of upgrading the shops, he also got some new privileges. For example, he got one more percentage in profit sharing and unlocked the mode in which he could upgrade portions of the shops according to his own choices.

In this mode, the shop owner could plan the zones and the style of each zone by himself. At a closer look, Mr. Fang found that he could also unlock some advanced options such as utilizing the expanded shop space to use space folding abilities.

Another privilege that he got was that he could alter the computer time; he could alter it up to two hours.

Another thing he had to consider was the hiring of employees after the expansion of the shop space.

One employee was not enough for each shop. Previously, Mr. Fang had obtained the privilege of managing two employees, deciding the employees’ work hours, giving out special employee cards which contained free online time for each month.

The last upgrade was the activation of the digitized transferring between spiritual messages and network nodes in the shops; these services were only available to the membership customers.

After the activation, the customers with membership cards could access the shop’s internet to chat on QQ and watch the livestream on the big screen through the new communication jades, which meant that they could watch livestreams and join in on the fun wherever they were.

...

Meanwhile, the New Communication Jade Development Project that Mr. Fang had a share in achieved a new result.

Due to the many functions, the new communication jade used to have a big size. After some improvements, its looks improved into that of a jade amulet in the shape of a smartphone. The low-level communication jade could send pictures and text messages and conduct two-way calls. The high-level communication jade, like the one that Mr. Fang was holding, was a piece of white jade covered in dense engravings.

“This communication jade is a new product of our alliance.” Li Haoran handed Mr. Fang this communication jade with pride. “It can do all the things such as the shadow-condensing spell, shadow-recall spell, and sending messages and voice messages from hundreds of kilometers away! It can almost do anything.”

Shadow-condensing spell was just the name for taking pictures at the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, and the shadow-recall spell meant video-recording.

While Li Haoran introduced the functions, Mr. Fang tried it himself.

After he injected some qi into the jade, a two-dimensional illusion appeared in a layer of mist; it looked like the interface of a smartphone, but one must use essence or qi to control the mouse-like cursor on the interface.

“What do you think of it?” Li Haoran was a bit nervous while looking at his masterpiece. In fact, these functions were originally some low-level spiritual spells. To make this new communication jade, the Wuwei Daoist Alliance increased their levels by force and improved their effects before engraving them into the communication jade.

Since they were hand-made by artifact masters, and the processes were extremely complicated, there weren’t many of such communication jades around, and the one in Mr. Fang’s hand was definitely a high-end product.

“Excellent! Awesome!” Mr. Fang gave him a thumbs-up.

It was still early in the morning, but the two shops were full of customers, especially the members of the forces that were playing the Legend of Mir 2, who usually came here very early in the morning.

Even the usually idle Su Tianji didn’t lounge on the couch today; she got online first and then bought instant noodles and milk tea.

However, the moment that she walked to the counter today, she was greeted with lots of new announcements.

For example, there was the hiring of shop clerks and the new year party.

The new year party included the following activities.

[Cosplay: It is a basic activity. The customers who dress up as the characters in the games, movies, or TV Series will get one extra hour of computer time per day and can register for the Most Original contest.]

[Qzone Musical Festival: Anyone can enter this activity, and the gala will be held in Qzone.]

[Qzone the King of Fighters Competition: Anyone can register for this event, and it will be held in Qzone.]

[Qzone...]

While reading the many activities on the small blackboard, Su Tianji felt dazed.It’s just a celebration of the new year; how come there are so many weird activities?!

After all, she usually passed the first day of each year in seclusion cultivation and had never seen such things before!

Registering for any of the activities will get them one more hour of computer time per day.

[The participants who can get the top three places for any of the activities will each get a new year gift box (big). The higher the rankings, the higher quality the gifts will be.]

[The participants who get into the top 10 places will each get a few new year gift boxes (small); the number of gift boxes is determined by the placement.]

Then, she saw another announcement. [At New Year’s Eve, the shop won’t be closed. All the customers can continue playing online after midnight.]
