Chapter 49 - VIP Player, Heaven Shop No. 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yi did not have the time to bother about these things. He had plenty of ways to earn money. Right now, he needed to calm the various guilds from starting a war. Otherwise, the human race would die even faster in the future.

After entering the familiar Emperor City, he quickly arrived at the Sacred Emperor’s Palace. When he stepped in, the palace had become overcrowded. Countless players surrounded the High Priest, accepting the first transition sublimation mission.

Unfortunately, when they reached the mission location, they would most likely be blocked by the guild’s players unless they joined their guild.

Li Yi was still calculating on how to squeeze through the crowd. However, the High Priest in the middle suddenly waved his staff, and a gentle barrier pushed many players out of the door.

Li Yi, on the other hand, was not affected by the barrier’s effect. He was the only one standing inside the sacred barrier.

Many players immediately squeezed their way in, but they could not get in no matter what. They were so angry that they started cursing.

“The f*ck! Is there a bug in this sh*tty system? How can this guy get in, but not me?”

“What’s going on? This guy is also a player. Don’t tell me there are VIP guests in this game? How much does it cost? I’ll pay whatever amount is needed!”

“Carefree Dream! It’s him, the god, the second-ranked player on the level ranking board. He’s actually in Emperor City!!”

“F*ck, it’s true, it really is him! His set of equipment is guaranteed to be above the excellent-grade. Looking at my normal-grade equipment, it’s incomparable to what he has!”

“He’s so handsome! I would do anything for him!”

“…”

Countless players busily gossiped about this man, but they could not squeeze in at all.

Then, the High Priest walked over, his eyes fixated on the necklace with a faint red glow, and his face filled with shock.

“Adventurer, did you actually accept the mission? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have given you some help, but fortunately, you came back safely!!”

Li Yi smiled and said, “High Priest, you don’t have to worry. That Python was indeed quite troublesome. Fortunately, I triumphed, or else it would’ve been really difficult to get this item back. High Priest, please help me to undergo the first transition sublimation!”

The High Priest shook his head slightly and he spoke respectfully, “Your status has already become higher than mine. I’m not suitable to undergo the sublimation of your profession for you. I must ask the Emperor City’s Heavy Armored Dragon Knight Commander, Lord Manicco, to undergo the first transition sublimation for you!”

Li Yi nodded and said, “Oh! So that’s the case. Then I’ll go look and look for him. I’ll take my leave then!

“Alright then, take care. As you can see, I’m a little busy, so I can’t see you off. Please forgive me!”

The High Priest quickly waved his cane and separated the crowd to create a path. Li Yi thanked him and walked out of the door towards the distance. As Li Yi’s figure slowly disappeared, only then did the crowd come back to their senses. They looked at each other, and their eyes filled with endless shock.

“The f*ck! This player is definitely a VIP player. How much respect does this f*cking NPC have for him? Where is he going to pay for this express pass! I want in on it too!”

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I went to the forum to post about this matter already. Emperor City has discovered a divine Revelation’s VIP player. The NPC treats him with incomparable respect. This is unfair!”

“Right! This is unfair. Why does he have a VIP player interface? Why don’t we have one too?”

…

Li Yi quickly arrived at the location of the shoplots and there were many players here. Most of them were only level 5 or 6. They were all production-type players.

They were all here to do business. They did not need to wait for Level 10 to come to the city.

To do business in the city, they just had to own a shop. If they relied on staying in the Novice Village to trade, one by one, they would be exhausted to death.

However, at this moment, they were all frowning. Something was troubling them.

Li Yi smiled faintly. He knew what was troubling them. Right now, the shops were frighteningly expensive. Even small shops required 1,000 gold coins to obtain the limited-time usage rights. Those large-scale luxury shops even exceeded six figures.

However, all of this had nothing to do with him, so he went straight to the General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce. The General Manager immediately said with a smile.

“Adventurer, you’re here? I wonder if you’ve solved that damn roadblock!”

Li Yi immediately took out the bloody tiger head from his bag and handed it over. The General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce took the tiger head and nodded repeatedly.

“Good! Good! Good! This tiger issue is finally solved. Our Chamber of Commerce vehicles can now finally travel on this path! Adventurer, please choose your reward!”

Li Yi did not hesitate and said directly, “I want the number one Heaven Shop!”

NPCs were intelligent, and the price of this number one Heaven Shop was extremely expensive. However, this man did not hesitate at all when it came to the mission that they had given out. The man spoke directly, “No problem! It’s all yours!”

[System Notification: Carefree Dream, congratulations on obtaining the permanent right to use the Heaven Shop — no. 1, in Emperor City.]

Li Yi nodded and headed outside. He opened his friend list and contacted Little Merchant.

[CD: Are you in Emperor City?]

Little Merchant immediately replied.

[LM: I’ve been here for a while. It’s just that the shops here are too expensive. Actually, I wanted to discuss it with you. How about we invest in a small shop with some of our gold coins we earned with the Potions?]

[CD: How much did we earn?]

[LM: We earned around 2,500 gold coins. The main reason is that this double potions blessing is simply too awesome. Otherwise, I would’ve only earned around 1,500 gold coins!]

2,500 gold coins! Now that the level of players had increased and the speed of gold farming had increased, the price of gold coins had decreased. However, one gold coin was still equivalent to more than 8,000 USD.

[CD: Let’s talk face to face, I’ll send you a location. Come here immediately. Time is of the essence. Don’t dawdle!]

[LM: Alright! I’ll be there soon!]

…

Li Yi quickly arrived at the agreed location. From afar, he saw a rather skinny man looking at the large shop in front of him with envy. This was the most luxurious shop in Emperor City. It had five floors and occupied an area of at least 500 square meters. It had a retro design, and the decorations outside looked extremely luxurious. It was like an ancient palace.

The door was currently closed, so the mapping inside could not be seen. However, just by looking at the lifelike stone lion outside the door, one could tell that it would look grand on the inside as well.

Li Yi walked over and immediately got down to business with Little Merchant.

“Little Merchant, what are you looking at?”

Hearing this, Little Merchant turned his head back reluctantly, he shook his head and sighed, “Sigh! This shop looks the best, but it costs at least 100,000 gold coins. Moreover, it’s not of permanent use. If you want to use it permanently, the price to pay would be an astronomical figure!”

Li Yi was ready to tease him, so he directly smiled and said, “If I can think of a way to get this for free forever, what will you do?”

The businessman raised his head and stared at his boss. “Do you have a way to get it for free forever?”

In the next moment, the businessman said disdainfully, “You’re really good at talking sh*t. If you can find a way to own this place permanently, as long as I make money in the future, I would only keep 20%. The rest will become all yours!”

“Are you sure about that?”

The small merchant glanced at him and agreed out without hesitation!

“What’s there to be unsure about? You know my personality. As long as you manage to own this place permanently, I’ll only take 20% of the money.. The rest shall be all yours!”
