Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Probably because these monsters had never been killed before, the drop rate was surprisingly high.

By now, Ruan Ning and her friends had used up their daily playtime and could only watch Fang Qi from behind as he killed monsters and got ultimate items!

The black-clothed mature young girl was named Xi Yue, and the older of the twin sisters was Su Zhi while the younger one was Su Yao. They were all locals of the city.

“How come the shop owner can play for so long?!”

“The monsters here are so rich!”

“Do you see the saber in the owner’s hand? Its damage is a bit higher than those sold in the shop!”

At this moment, Fang Qi was wearing a set of pale blue light armor with a saber named Bahuang in his hand, looking much more dashing than the newbies who only had small wooden swords and cotton clothes. His appearance drew a wave of exclamations from behind him.

“The shop owner’s damage is so high! He can break several bones on the skeleton monsters with one strike!”

“How come we couldn’t find this place after searching for it for so long?! He is taking all the good stuff for himself!”

“No! That little girl is enjoying these things as well!”

“Do you want these things?” Fang Qi said smugly, “You can enjoy all the benefits if you join my guild!”

“Humph! You want to lure us into your damn guild again.” Ruan Ning replied in disdain, “I advise you to watch out for yourself! I won’t interfere when the people of Black Demon come for you! I won’t even bury your corpse!”

“You are quite a figure. You dared to let one of Black Demon’s men go after killing the others.” Xi Yue obviously had heard about Fang Qi’s brave behavior, and she glanced around with a frown, seeming to contemplate if she should flee with one computer when the shop owner gets killed.

“Hey! Can’t you let us play longer?” The younger sister Su Yao was shy while older sister Su Zhi was bubbly. “Your shop is so big, so theres no way it’ll be filled! The computers stand idle anyway. Why don’t you let us play a while longer?!”

“Yeah!” Ruan Ning looked at Fang Qi’s screen and said resentfully, “I’ve never seen a shop owner like you! You are enjoying the game while making the customers watch from behind!”

“As for more playtime... You will get more of it soon,” Fang Qi said, “The shop will soon start selling memberships. Any member of the shop can have two extra hours of playtime compared to ordinary players.”

Soon, the trial memberships can be upgraded to VIP memberships, and these members would have two more hours of playtime than the ordinary members. It was the rule that Fang Qi had confirmed with the System.

“Soon... can’t you do it today?” Ruan Ning said in disdain, “I just robbed some passersby, and I want to play more!”

“You won’t find it enough even if I give you two more hours!” Fang Qi said in a huff, “Not even if I give you ten more hours! It’s useless to continue this topic...”

The passersby: “Damn it! Where are those people?”

The passersby who had been robbed were still looking for the robbers.

“How about giving us some more hours to play, and I’ll speak for you concerning the issue with Black Demon?” Xi Yue was quite confident in herself since her father was an executive of the Coiled Dragon Office and her mother managed several large shops in the city. Her family was a big force.

Despite the complicated relationships among all the forces in the city, some of them had the power to intervene in certain things.

She guessed that the shop owner had some strength and a powerful background, but he was a newcomer after all, and it was in his best interest not to mess with locals.

Confidently, she waited for Fang Qi’s reply.

“Ugh... this...” Fang Qi looked sulky. “I’ve told them that our Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild will welcome them to make trouble, and I think it will look bad if I go back on my words.”

“Why not? How can you value your reputation more than your life?”

“Maybe I should take some people and rob the leader of the so-called Black Demon, and then I can take back the words,” Fang Qi said.

“You...”

“Forget it! Sister Xi Yue, just ignore him!” Ruan Ning said while glaring at Fang Qi who was busy hacking monsters and ignoring the girls. “He will ask for help when they come here and make trouble for him; he will be scared for sure.”

“I won’t help if you don’t offer unlimited play time!”

It was now 10 PM, and the sky was dark outside.

Suddenly, the whole street was engulfed in a gloomy red light!

The dark red blood light seemed to cover the whole street, and Fang Qi’s shop was the most impacted!

“Cackle...”

As a series of dark cackles sounded, blood mist floated outside the door, and the area around Fang Qi’s shop turned into a vicious ghost world!

Ruan Ning’s face turned pale. “What’s happening?! How come the Old Demon came personally?!”

A group of people suddenly appeared before Fang Qi’s shop, and the leader was a red-robed old man with a weirdly pink complexion.

Different from his attire in Red Forest Pharmacy, Qin Honglin wore a vermilion-colored robe, and he looked extremely creepy in it!

A fierce-looking, bald, middle-aged cultivator with ugly scars on his head and a coquettish woman in heavy make-up were following behind on either side of this old man.

Intense bloody and murderous auras floated into the shop, and all the people in the shop frowned at the intense smell of blood.

Ruan Ning and her friends looked grim as they asked Fang Qi, “How come you messed with this old demon! You’re in big trouble!”

“Sister Ruan...” Zou Mo asked, “Is this old demon very powerful?”

“People now address him as Poison Elixir King with respect, but dozens of years ago, the people here all called him Poison Demon!” Ruan Ning whispered, “The gossips that you heard outside of the city are not all fake; the stories about this old demon are all true!”

“It was heard that before this old demon entered Half City, he killed more than ten big families with poison. After coming to Half City, he got even more vicious. He creates elixirs with cultivators’ essence blood, and he even kidnapped cultivators from outside of Half City to make blood elixir pills. The members of the previous force which occupied the 36th block were all killed by this old demon and made into elixir pills!”

“It’s said that all the members of this old demon’s previous faction had been turned into blood elixir pills by him as well! There’s no evil deed that this devil wouldn’t do!”

Zou Mo shivered, and his heart turned cold. “Bo... Boss will be okay, right?”

“Where is the owner of the shop?! Come out and meet our big boss!” Liu San walked into the shop with a cold smile.

“Damn it! Who is it?” Fang Qi stood up impatiently.

At this moment, Tao Kun couldn’t sit there anymore as well. He exited from the game and said with a fake smile, “It’s Master Qin!”

“Tao Kun, do you want to get involved?” The bald, middle-aged man said, “He dared to kill our people in the Red Forest Pharmacy in front of Big Boss! No one can stop us from getting our revenge!”

His narrow eyes looked fierce. “I advise Brother Tao to keep out of this for the sake of our friendship!”

Not only Tao Kun but the other people’s faces also twitched as they thought,Shop Owner, what were you doing? How can you kill people in front of this old demon? Especially his subordinates!

It was impossible for them to speak for Fang Qi in this issue! If Qin Honglin couldn’t resolve this issue, he couldn’t even live in the city as his reputation would be ruined!
