Chapter 490: Lecture on QQ

“Expand the Jiuhua City Shop to 8,000 seats…? Expand the Half City Shop to 6,500 seats and the Yuanyang City Shop to…1,000. With all that and making sure the seat occupancy rates are no lower than 70% at peak times, I will obtain the achieve ‘First Stage Prosperity’, get the right to sell iced red tea, and choose a movie or a game?” Fang Qi guessed that he would get benefits if he expanded the shops, and he sure found one achievement.

“Can I choose a movie or a game on my own will?” Fang Qi scratched his head and saw the instruction specifying that the movie or game he chose must have a lower power level compared to those of the existent games and movies. It meant that his decision wasn’t unbounded.

Compared with the tasks such as establishing dominance, the things that Fang Qi now needed to do were a little trivial.

Of course, ‘trivial’ didn’t mean ‘unnecessary’.

– In the Jiuhua City Shop –

With the increase in customers, two employees for each shop were not enough to deal with the daily business as there were too many players.

The situation was now completely different from when the Legend of Mir 2 was just released.

When the Legend of Mir 2 was just released, there were indeed large numbers of players, but they were mostly disciplined like the soldiers of the Jiuhua Army and Royal Guards which managed their people with strict rules, thus giving little extra burden to the shop.

But now, many elite disciples from different factions and families entered the shop. At the peak times, nearly 10,000 players passed each shop’s gate.

The shops were only organized thus far since the shop employees were cultivators; they were nimbler in both movements and minds and could multitask. If they were ordinary people, they would have been overwhelmed by now.

The System seemed to have no intention of handling this problem. Instead, it tossed the problem to Mr. Fang who had obtained an elevation of privileges and could operate on his own, as the System described.

“…” Mr. Fang was feeling pain as he muttered in puzzlement, “Didn’t you say that I’m responsible for outside business and you will manage the business inside the shops? I haven’t finished conquering the world yet, and you put this burden on me. Do you think it’s fair?”

“Then, what’s your job now? Staying idle? As a system, you can’t continue in this idle lifestyle.”

System didn’t respond.

If the System had a face, it must be dark right now.

“Come on, give me a suggestion.” Finally, Mr. Fang revealed his intention.

Silence.

After a long pause, the System seemed to give in and spat out some words reluctantly, [With your current privileges, you can recruit employees by yourself.]

Mr. Fang was at a loss for words.

The System didn’t offer anything useful and ‘bicker’ back. Mr. Fang viewed the System’s action in disdain.

Do I need you to tell me the obvious?

Mr. Fang had no choice but to consider the issue of employee recruitment. Right now, the Yuanyang City Shop had more than enough employees.

But in the other two shops…

He must solve the problem of employees before expanding the shops.

He must put out notices of recruitment first.

…

Mr. Fang handled the trivial matters in the shop and didn’t have time to mind other things.

Meanwhile, the players in the three shops were busy preparing for the Netizen Meetup.

Right now, Su Tianji was talking to her disciples in Liuyun Daoist Palace, “Fenghua! Yuexin! Which robe do you think is the best for me to wear on my journey to the Spiritual State?”

In her room behind Tianji Palace, Su Tianji was putting a white Daoist skirt and a blue Daoist robe against her body to compare.

Her two disciples looked embarrassed.

Obviously, idle people like them were not qualified to join the construction team for the teleportation array, and so they had lots of free time.

Class A of the Huang House in Lingyun Academy, where Nalan Mingxue and Song Qingfeng were at, had become the elite class of Lingyun Academy. Mu Hongzhu, the combat technique instructor, had become one of the elite instructors as well.

These young people came out from the practice field in high spirits.

“Young Master Song, should we go to the Spiritual State this time?” Lin Shao was dressed in black clothes and wore black boots; he had been dressing like this after watching ‘The Matrix’.

“Of course!” These young people had reached the Grandmaster Warrior Realm. Song Qingfeng practiced two fist techniques and said, “I feel like I’m unrivaled!”

Lin Shao murmured, “Senior Sister Zixin beat you senseless yesterday, eh?”

Xu Luo stopped him. “Hush! Don’t expose him.”

Song Qingfeng was feeling a little smug.

…

The elite young warriors from the three academies in Dajin were also the most experienced players; they were the main guests invited by the Heavenly Academy. Shengjing Academy and Xiyi Academy were invited along with Lingyun Academy.

Compared with their peers of Lingyun Academy, the disciples of Xiyi Academy and Shengjing Academy were more nervous.

They had played games in the internet café for a long time but had only competed with their own peers; they never had battled with outside people.

In the last competition, the disciples from these two academies had been defeated by their peers from the Lingyun Academy. This time, they were determined not to repeat their shameful experience!

“Senior Brother, are you sure that you can win?” some disciples were whispering among themselves outside of the shop.

“Don’t worry! I’ve cultivated for so long in the shop. Besides, our Dajin Royal Family has improved the Gold Raven Scroll!” Fifth Prince Ji Yang was among them, and he laughed with arrogance while saying, “It’s said that the western barbarians are visiting the Spiritual State; we finally get the chance to show our abilities!”

“Fifth Prince, you are a great genius!” someone praised, “You are not 30 yet, but you have reached such a high level in the Martial Dao!”

“Of course.”

Behind them, Nalan Hongwu walked out of the shop, patting Liang Heihu, an instructor at Shengjing Academy, on the shoulder. This Old Duke said, “Heihu, you are the best among the instructors of Shengjing Academy. It’s said that in the Spiritual State, cultivators under 150 years old and warriors under 100 years old are counted as the young generation. At your age, you can join this competition.”

“His Majesty has told me this. The younger disciples under 30 can go there and just watch.”

The Fifth Prince who was walking before them looked back at them with wide-open eyes. “…”

…

In the Artifact Masters Group Chat, people were working harder and way more professionally.

The artifact masters from different forces were the main strength in making the Cross-Regional Netizen Meetup possible. The forces included Xuanzhong Manor and Yuxu Mountain, which had inherited the original array disk of the ancient teleportation array and had begun talking about the building plan of the new teleportation array.

Gu Tingyun created a group chat in QQ, and many artifact masters from the Half City Shop and the Jiuhua City Shop joined the group. He sat before the computer and said solemnly, [I’ll explain the structure of the teleportation array in detail.]

The Baoping Spiritual Master said, [Guys, we’ve successfully made the new communication jade based on your blueprint of the jade-slip-style communication jade.]

In her hand was a communication jade bigger than the ordinary ones. It could not only send messages but also upload the information stored in the jade slips to QQ.

Gu Tingyun added, [I have brought you a lot of documents about building the array.]

The lecture began on QQ.
