Chapter 105 Rolling Heads

The show was over, yet no one wanted to leave.

With so many unanswered questions in their minds, the thought of leaving was just too much to bear.

But seeing the theater lights suddenly brighten, they knew they had to go.

It was just that they didn't think it was fair at all!

Going back to the place where the food & drink stalls were, everyone felt very disheartened.

Nonetheless, they had already formed clusters of groups talking about the episode.

"No! I must become Senior Luffy's number one disciple!"

"Tch! You? Why don't you take a good look at yourself before making such a boast? The person to become his disciple is me!"

"No way! I will become Senior's disciple!"

"Hey, guys... I don't know this guy Zoro yet, but from the last scene in the episode, when we got a glimpse of him, I can already tell that I want to be his disciple! His aura was as strong as senior Luffy's!"

"Screw you! Do you think that such an outstanding person would accept you? Wake up and stop dreaming!!"

"But who was that orange-haired girl? And what are those things called Devil Fruits? Dammit! I really want to know!"

"Me too! But we'll just have to wait for tomorrow to know more. Look! I've already booked and paid for the next episode sometime in the afternoon in theater 2."

"Wait. Why the afternoon?"

"Heh. You might not know it, but all morning viewings for the new episodes are completely booked with no seats available. At this rate, some people might not even be able to watch it tomorrow."

"What? Oh no! I have to save a seat fast!!"

"Me too!"

....

Like so, everyone quickly rushed to try booking seats for the next episode.

Chu Che looked at them and understood their worry.

Firstly, the system hadn't awarded him with some grand theaters.

No... Each theater could only allow 30 people in it.

So with 2 theaters, that only amounted to 60 seats.

And each day, from 8 A.M to 10 P.M closing time, several shows and episodes would rotate among both theaters.

And the more new episodes that come in, the more changes would be made to the viewing schedule.

Luckily, things won't always have to be this way.

That's right.

If he got a certain number of people to watch and completed the rest of his missions, he would be awarded another 30 seats, A.K.A, another theater in the mix.

Everyone had to book like crazy and ahead of time if they wanted to catch well properly.

And he was also optimistic that soon enough, each theater would upgrade and expand as well.

Old Fru, Nianzu, and Tsongai, who had taken Chu Che's advice earlier on and booked their seats for 7 days straight, were now very grateful that they did so.

Just listening to how brutal the booking competition was, they knew they were lucky.

In fact, some people started looking for people who were willing to exchange their tickets for any items.

The easiest people to trick would be those who bought their tickets but hadn't seen the show yet.

Trading or doing exchanges online was mostly done on the Market Tab on the cards.

Any items like vouchers or money could be exchanged on the cards.

But things like swords or anything else had to be done physically in a safe and neutral environment.

So on the ground floor of the Mission Hall was an exchange room with several Rosies in them.

Exchanges were widespread in the town and had become an essential aspect of some people's day-to-day lives here.

Not just for cultivators, but even mortals who were now mission taskers exchanged things there too.

Look! They even had receipts dating the day and time these exchanges were done.

This was the best proof anyone could ask for, just in case they ran into some troublesome or sneaky people that denied their exchange.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

.

Old Fru, Nianzu, and Tsongai grinned victoriously when they double-checked the tickets they bought.

It felt good to be one step ahead.

"Boss Chu, where are we going now?"

Chu Che turned around in confusion: "I wanted us to head towards the Simulator section of the building... But if we do that, by the time we get out, there would be too long a line at the Pavilion. Don't you all want to get your cultivation manuals?"

"MANUALS???!!!"

Tsongai's yell instantly quieted those around.

--Silence--

(°0°)

Yes! Manuals!

How could they have forgotten that there was a new Pavilion building?

Yes. They should go there right away!

"Boss Chu! Let's go to the pavilion first!"

"Yes. The Pavilion first!"

"Boss Chu, can we tag along with you 4?"

"Boss Chu. Please, let us come with you!"

"Boss Chu!..."

"Boss Chu!...."

Chu Che nodded wryly, making everyone burst out into cheers.

With that, they followed Chu Che to the Pavilion.

On the way, Chu Che didn't mind explaining some basic rules to them.

It was then and there that they understood that they could only get cultivation manuals (mangas) on the One Piece episodes they watched.

Another key thing they took more of was that the One Piece cultivation manuals were the same for everyone.

But the enlightenment they would get would vary from person to person.

One person might pick up Senior Alvida's skills, while another person might pick up another skill from some other character.

But it was clear that they might not be able to even understand 1/50th of these new techniques yet.

No... They would have to pick up more manuals to do so.

At the same time, it was important to know that some people might only get enlightened when a new character appears several episodes later.

In short, patience was key.

Besides, while waiting for their enlightenment, it's not like they still won't get any benefits.

That's right. Just watching the episodes alone had stored up their qi, enhancing and making it thicker than normal.

So no matter how they looked at it, it was still advantageous to watch the episodes. Not to talk of it being very entertaining.

And lastly, for them to get enlightened, they also have to watch the episodes.

On the way, they also learned that they could get cultivation manuals on Mortal Kombat and God of War too.

Now they were pumped up!

.

With that, Chu Che led them to the pavilion as planned.

Things were really looking good in Wenji Town.

But back in Rainbow City, several people were about to lose their heads from the fuming elder before them.

Today, it seemed like heads would roll once more.
