In the end, he took out the Crimsonbull Energy Drink and placed it on the counter. That way, the display looked full.

When customers came in, Zhang Feng could also recommend this Crimsonbull Energy Drink. It was after all Zhang Feng’s trump card.

At this time, perhaps because someone had come to his shop before, it started to become a little more popular. Occasionally now, other customers would come to his shop.

However, when they saw Zhang Feng’s price, their expressions would darken and they would leave the shop while cursing. After all, there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor in this world.

Most of them were poor. Their monthly income was only a few Essence Stones. They couldn’t possibly use all their assets to buy Zhang Feng’s things, right?

Right now, the brothers Xia Xi and Xia He were the only customers who had bought something from Zhang Feng.

With a dark expression on his face, and as he supported his chin with one hand, Zhang Feng complained to the system, “System, do you think this price is really unreasonable?”

That was because the price on it was the price that the system had suggested to Zhang Feng. Even though Zhang Feng did not want to accept the system’s suggestion, the system insisted on him offering such a price.

And the disadvantage of such a price was that no one wanted to buy it. As a result, Zhang Feng still hadn’t earned a single cent up. Sometimes, Zhang Feng even wondered if the system was here to help him or to cheat him.

The system was displeased with Zhang Feng’s suggestion. “I still suggest such a price. After all, it’s worth it. If you lower the price, won’t it disrupt the market’s position? You just have to listen to my suggestion. The system won’t cheat you.

Zhang Feng rolled his eyes. Who knew if he was tricking him? Anyway, the system didn’t need to eat. Zhang Feng was merely human, he was already famished from not eating for a day. However, he didn’t have a single cent on him and couldn’t eat anything.

However, these items were indeed worth this price, so Zhang Feng really had nothing to say.

But what was the use of just knowing about it himself? The customers didn’t understand how effective these medicines were!

“Forget it, forget it!” Zhang Feng took out the bread from his box and ate it. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already so late at night. There were probably no customers, so he prepared to close the door.

Zhang Feng was a person with a bottom line. He would open and close the shop on time every day. Since he wanted to run a shop, he had to follow the rules. The business time was set at 9am to 10pm.

Zhang Feng was still very hungry, but fortunately, he had already leveled up to Level 15. Even if he had to starve for two to three days, it would not be a problem. He climbed onto the bed and immediately fell asleep.

When it was 8 am the next morning, Zhang Feng brushed his teeth and washed his face. He only had half a loaf of bread left from yesterday. After finishing it, he prepared to open the shop.

If there was still no business today, Zhang Feng would probably have to starve tomorrow.

Two minutes after he opened the shop, Zhang Feng was watering the plants outside with cheeks stuffed with stale bread when he suddenly heard a shout from behind him.

“What a coincidence, boss.” This voice should be directed at Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng turned around and saw the two brothers standing behind him.

Although the tall man, Xia He, was very handsome, he was actually a fool. Although the petite Xia Xi looked arrogant, he was actually kind-hearted and smart.

Perhaps this was the difference between an older brother and a younger brother.

Zhang Feng also greeted the Xia brothers. After all, they were his first customers. “Ah, so it’s you two. You’re quite early.”

Xia He wanted to walk forward and take a look at the shop, but he felt an ability pushing him away. He touched the air around him and realized that there was magic protecting the shop.

“Shop owner, did your shop use a protective array? Why can’t we enter?” Xia He asked Zhang Feng.

Initially, Xia He and Xia Xi had wanted to enter the shop directly. However, they failed even after trying several times. This magic array was quite powerful. Xia Xi was also a Mage, so he knew that no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to enter.

“Hmm, I think so.” Zhang Feng recalled what the system had said. It was probably because of this magic shield that the two brothers could not enter the shop.

This was also the system’s protection system to ensure Zhang Feng’s safety as well as the protection of the shop’s assets.

As long as Zhang Feng was resting or when he wasn’t in the shop, no matter how powerful a person was, it was impossible for them to break through.

Of course, those who were above the Kingpin level could try to challenge the system. Those below the Kingpin level don’t even need to try.

“Ah, so that’s how it is. Brother, didn’t I tell you? This shop owner is not a simple person. Look at this magic shield. Even you can’t do anything about it!” Xia He seemed to be very smug, but he received a slap from Xia Xi on the back of his head.

Xia He did not dare to speak anymore. Xia Xi put on a more gentle expression and said to Zhang Feng, “Boss, we’ve already used your Immortal Pills. As expected, your recommendations are correct. Your Immortal Pills are very useful.”

Hearing that Xia Xi had such a high appraisal of his own items, his heart was naturally blooming with joy. However, he had given himself the image of a cold and handsome man, so he still acted very indifferently. “Well, thank you for your evaluation. Our things here are all authentic. Of course, we won’t cheat consumers.”

He thought about how this big guy Xia He had gotten upset and scolded him yesterday. But now, he should have realized that his things were indeed useful.

Xia Xi could tell that Zhang Feng was concerned, so he pushed his younger brother away. “Yesterday, my younger brother said something unpleasant to you. I hope the owner doesn’t mind.”

Zhang Feng waved his hand to prevent others from thinking that he was a petty person. “It’s fine. After all, many people also said that my price is a little high.”

Xia Xi revealed a rare smile. When he smiled, it was as warm as the morning sun, gentle and not overly blinding.
