Chapter 2


["I'm a third-year university student majoring in fine arts. Due to family circumstances, it seems I might have to quit university. I registered, thinking it would be great if someone could assist with tuition fees."]


“Yuka said the same, but it's a long shot... If there's no response by tomorrow afternoon, I'll delete it…”


Sending a straightforward message on the sugar dating site via her smartphone while lying on the bed, Mio then settles beside it.


Her nerves were tense, finding it hard to fall asleep, but repeating to herself, "It's worth a try... It's worth a try..." she eventually drifted off.


The following Sunday, while anxious about responses on the sugar dating site, Mio finishes submitting her entry for the local government's poster contest and then accesses the sugar dating site.


“Wow, there are so many messages…”


She checks over ten messages.


‘As expected, right…’


Mio sighs.


There were responses, but they were all messages like, "How about 30,000 for a date at a hotel?"


Ah, this is...


As Mio scrolls through the messages, her finger stops.


After a deep breath, she rereads the post from someone named Kurokawa.


"I am an art gallery manager. I'd like to personally support a talented university student from the art school with a private scholarship. I'd like to meet you once to see your work."


This person might be different, perhaps...


With her heart pounding, Mio replies, "I would love to meet and show you, my work."

Chapter 1 God-level Store Manager

  Chapter 1 Tianlan Continent, Heavenly Star Empire, Nine Lights City. As the capital of the Heavenly Star Empire, Nine Lights City occupies an unknown amount of land. It was famous for the Nine Lights Mountain Range connected to it. There were various types of demon beasts in the Nine Lights Mountain Range, as well as countless spiritual medicines that caused people to flock to them. Countless cultivators gather here. According to rumors, there were even many mysterious ancient ruins inside. Through the thirty-meter-tall city wall, one could see that the city’s streets were filled with shops, and with people like stars in the sky. This kind of grand occasion was rare even in the entire Heavenly Star Empire! However, there was a somewhat different situation for a shop in this grand city, was that there was a rather unwelcoming shop in an alley in the east of the city. Although Nine Brilliance City was bustling, the location of the shop was so remote that one could imagine how desolate

Chapter 1 Thousands of Heartbeats

 TRANSLATED AND EDITED BY  MSI38 Chapter 1 The wind was cold in the winter, and the sky was still fluttering in the rain. A gust of wind blew past and kissed her skin, causing ripples to appear. The temperature gradually decreased, and it was so cold that she trembled. At the end of December, a fashion charity event arrived. The artists had received an invitation to attend early. They wore suits and evening gowns a few times below zero, signed their autographs, and were interviewed and photographed by the media. Yan Qiuzhi also received the invitation letter. She was on her way to the event. She had been delayed by something today. She didn't have time to change her clothes and makeup. She was still in the car for her final touch. Assistant Zhu Zhu spoke to her from the side and reported the latest progress of the red carpet. "Wow, what's coming out now is Guan He!" Zhu Zhu sat at the corner and recited in her passionate voice,  "Today, her makeup is charming. Sh

Chapter 2 God-level Store Manager

 Chapter  2 Below the Coke, the price was marked: 10 spirit crystals. Seeing this bid, Luo Chuan couldn't help but raise his brows. In the Heavenly Star Empire, most ordinary citizens used copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. The exchange rate between them was ten to one. 10 copper coins = 1 Silver Coin 10 silver coins = 1 Gold coin 10 Gold coins = 1 Spirit Crystal Spirit crystals were often used by cultivators. They contained a large amount of energy. A single spirit crystal could be exchanged for ten gold coins. One gold coin was enough to allow an ordinary family to live in prosperity for a month. One could imagine the concept of spirit crystals. "System, are you sure there is nothing wrong regarding price?" Luo Chuan thought for a moment and asked seriously. [ The system's merchandise was worth more, there was absolutely no need to randomly price it. Since this is the first time that the host has questioned the system, I will only give you a warning. ] Luo

Chapter 3 God-level Store Manager

  chapter 3 Time passed quietly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Luo Chuan, who was lying on the rocking chair at the entrance of the shop, although he seemed satisfied, he could not help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the endless flow of people on the streets outside the alley. Five days! He hadn't even sold a single bottle of Coke in five days! However, there was nothing that could be done. It was not surprising that the shop was in this remote alley and there were no customers. It was already evening. Luo Chuan's eyes were filled with helplessness as he looked at the setting sun on the distant horizon. It seemed like there were no more guests today. However, just as he was about to close the door, a soft sound came from the alley. "Tsk, tsk, tsk" A youth dressed in black brocade robes came to the shop and commented like this. Seeing the youth, Luo Chuan's heart immediately became happy. It seemed like business was finally coming. "Frag

Chapter 28 God-level Store Manager

28 The reason why humans were, old, sick, or dead was because the life force in their bodies was constantly disappearing. If he was able to replenish life force, it was likely that long life wouldn’t make any empty talk! In Luo Chuan's opinion, the words "I will not die, I will pursue my soul in the underworld" would not be empty. From this point of view, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call this Longevity Dew judge of life and death! This was the price...... Yes, it should be enough for 99% of the cultivators to stop. A hundred thousand spirit crystals were comparable to most of the family members of the Primordial Regression Realm! "Brewed? Don't tell me this is wine?" Looking at the system's introduction, Luo Chuan was a little curious. With a slight hesitation, Luo Chuan made a decision in his heart. As for good things, this shopkeeper would naturally be the first to taste them. Moreover, there were also the benefits that the system gave the shop owner.

Chapter 11 God-level Store Manager

  Chapter 11 After Bu Shiyi and the others left, Luo Chuan continued to bask in the sun on the chair. However, it seemed as if luck had arrived. Not long after, a pleasant voice sounded in Luo Chuan's ear. "Are you the owner of this shop?" Luo Chuan opened his eyes. What appeared in front of him was a woman dressed in black robes. Her figure was graceful. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, and she looked heroic. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk. Origin Shopping Center really has such a great tone!" Looking at the sign at the entrance, the woman commented. Luo Chuan's face was expressionless as he didn't reply. Perhaps it was a little boring. The woman frowned, " I asked, are you the boss or not? Say something?" Luo Chuan finally spoke and said indifferently, " Yes, I wonder what you want to buy?" The woman thought for a moment and named some pills "Since your shop is called Origin Shopping Center, you can't even have these things,

Chapter 5 God-level Store Manager

Chapter   5 "Boss, I'll buy another ten bottles of Coke!" Bu Lige gulped down the remaining cola in one gulp. After burping, he excitedly shouted at Luo Chuan. The fact that 10 spirit crystals could buy a drink with this effect was completely cheap! Luo Chuan, however, shook his head and said,  "I'm sorry. You can only buy one item per day for each item in this store." This was the rule that the system had just mentioned in Luo Chuan's mind. "Why?" Bu Lige asked in confusion. "This is the rule in the shop."  Luo Chuan said indifferently. "Alright!" Seeing Luo Chuan's expression, Bu Lige knew that there was no room for manoeuvre. He could only helplessly sigh. After glancing at the cola on the glass shelf, Bu Lige said goodbye to Luo Chuan and left the shop. Luo Chuan heaved a sigh of relief as he watched Bu Lige leave. The novice mission was finally completed. [Congratulations to the host for completing the novice missio

 Chapter  4 "Do you think I'm joking?" Luo Chuan replied seriously. Bu Lige carefully stared at Luo Chuan, then decisively shook his head. "But this effect is just too terrifying. It's hard to believe!" Bu Lige could not help but say. "It's worth it." In order to complete the system mission, Luo Chuan was unwilling to let such a potential customer go. As the young master of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, Bu Lige was naturally the administrator of the money. He quickly made a decision. Bu Lige took a bottle of cola from the container and then quickly took out ten spirit crystals and placed them on the counter. Luo Chuan nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, the spirit crystal disappeared into thin air. Lige's impression of Luo Chuan had increased by a bit, from an interesting (shop keeper owner) boss to a recluse expert. [ "Congratulations host for completing the novice quest and obtaining a chance to enter the lottery."] The sys
