Chapter 299 Don’t bully young people into poverty!
After a while.
Two more customers were engrossed in reading at Xinglan's cold drink shop.
"Holy crap! Poor Xiao Yan!"
"Who can argue with that? He's clearly a genius, yet he was crippled from the start and even had his engagement broken off in public!"
"However, this guy truly lives up to his status as the protagonist, uttering such bold words! What a powerful saying, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Never underestimate a young man's potential!' It really hits the nail on the head! Back in my day, if only I had his kind of ambition... cough cough..."
"Captain, I never knew you had this side to you. Could you be that widow Wang from next door?"
When the two got excited, they also started showing off their iced drinks and popcorn.
In the blink of an eye, the iced drinks and popcorn were all gone.
"Boss, another iced drink and a serving of popcorn for each of us!"
"okay!"
Xinglan immediately served the food and drinks with a beaming smile.
But after a while.
The two of them were dumbfounded after turning to the last page of the storybook.
"Holy crap! What happened?"
"I just saw it. He's suffered so much injustice, and finally met Master Yao. He's about to rise up and teach those who look down on him a lesson, and give that woman named Nalan Yanran a good slap in the face!"
"And then...you tell me, that's it? Ahhh, no!"
Potato's books are incredibly immersive, instantly evoking strong emotions.
The two of them were completely engrossed after reading just one chapter, unable to tear themselves away.
Especially seeing Xiao Yan being suppressed and despised by his clansmen, looked down upon by various beauties, publicly jilted at marriage, and his father being humiliated and losing face... it was truly a tragic situation!
Seeing these things, the two of them recalled their experiences from many years ago and felt a deep sense of empathy.
After all, the two of them are now wilderness hunters and have experienced similar things.
Seeing that Xiao Yan is about to rise to power after meeting Yao Lao, you tell him it's over?
The two of them felt a lump in their throats, and if they didn't let it out, they wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!
"Beautiful boss, where did you hide the rest of the storybooks? I'll buy them no matter the price! They're just energy stones, right? I have plenty!" Black Horse roared, his eyes bloodshot as he leaned on the counter.
"Yes, beautiful boss, we're not short of money!" Danai said anxiously.
As he spoke, he pulled a leather bag from his pocket and slammed it onto the counter.
There are at least 100,000 energy stones inside!
"Hehe! You two guests... don't be so impatient!"
Seeing the two of them acting so frantically, Xinglan's lips twitched violently, and she waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "My Lord City Lord has only just updated to this point; the rest of the content hasn't been written yet."
She was a girl, so she couldn't really understand the passion of teenagers.
Previously, when I listened to Brother Yu tell stories...
The women secretly guessed that this was Xiao Yu's personal experience—a period when his genius was crippled, his engagement to his beloved was broken off, he was driven out of Yan City, and he was left to wander in the wilderness...
Adding this name to the story is simply his own experience, isn't it?
Therefore, the women felt even more sorry for Xiao Yu, and naturally overlooked the young man's passion.
But these middle-aged people, experiencing the bombardment of online articles for the first time, how could they possibly bear it?
In the end, Xinglan managed to persuade the two of them, telling them that the city lord would update the story as soon as possible.
The two then stopped, looked at it again, and left.
"I never imagined that my brother-in-law's storybook would be so useful!"
After the two left, Xinglan counted their previous expenses and was pleasantly surprised.
After all... the 100 energy stones were just for them to see, not for them to sell directly.
If you want to see it, you can only do so in the ice cream shop.
Originally, the two of them would only consume two or three thousand energy stones.
But it was all for the sake of reading the storybooks written by my brother-in-law.
The two of them stayed in the ice cream shop for two hours, each drinking three ice creams and eating three servings of popcorn...
In just one afternoon, these two people consumed more than 10,000 energy stones!
"I'll have to ask my brother-in-law to update some more later, so we can trick him again next time! Hehe..."
……
Nowadays.
It was the fourth day since we left the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Evening, on the city wall of Longchi.
"Phew~ We're finally out of the Beast Mountain Range!" The group looked down and sighed with emotion.
Although it was shielded by a crystal light shield.
It is impervious to acid rain and strong winds.
However, the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is riddled with spatial rifts, and endless black mist permeates the area.
The black energy will seep in through the holes in the crystal shield.
It will still cause considerable trouble for the people of Longcheng.
Previously, it would have taken several more days for the Earth Dragon Turtle to completely leave the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
But now... after breaking through to the eighth rank, the Earth Dragon Turtle's every step covers several miles.
It is conceivable that even if it moves slowly, it will still be much faster than before.
Therefore, just three or four days later, the Earth Dragon Turtle completely left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
"Brother-in-law, we've left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Where are we going?" Xinglan asked.
"Next stop?" Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "Naturally, the City of Ruins! It's said that ancient ruins can be found there. Don't you want to go and see?"
Going to the City of Ruins isn't just about seeing ancient ruins; it's also about earning a massive amount of energy stones.
After all, he's really short of money right now! He needs to make money as quickly as possible to evolve into a climbing vine!
"Ancient ruins? Great!" The women nodded excitedly, full of anticipation.
They often heard Xiao Yu talk about how glorious the ancient times of humankind were.
Naturally, he was very interested in and longed for everything from that era.
"But Lord Xiao Yu, do you know how to get there?" Chu Ling Shuang asked curiously.
She had heard some legends about the City of Ruins before, but she didn't know exactly where it was.
It is said that the place is far away from the three major powers and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.
"Have you forgotten? The young city lord of the City of Ruins lived in Dragon City for a long time before."
Xiao Yu smiled and explained, then took out a simple map from his pocket and pointed it out to the women, saying, "Look, this is what Xue Dong gave me before he left."
The women crowded around to take a closer look.
This map is very rough, only roughly marking the location of the ruins city.
"This map is too rudimentary. There isn't even a single landmark in the vicinity. We only know the general direction: just keep heading north. I think the location of the City of Ruins might be a bit special. If we blindly follow it, we'll have to travel at least ten thousand miles."
"No rush, just take your time on the journey. You can ask for directions along the way."
Xiao Yu waved his hand dismissively, then thought for a moment and said, "Since it's decided, Honglian, go and send out a notice later. If the Wild Wolf Hunting Team wants to leave, let them go."
He was somewhat interested in this hunting team.
The main thing is that this team generated hundreds of thousands of yuan in profit for him right from the start.
Moreover, Xinglan just reported on the sales situation of "Battle Through the Heavens".
To Xiao Yu's surprise, the two seasoned veterans, Heima and Danai, were actually brought to their knees by the opening scene.
Almost all of their teammates also read the book and became fans.
The opening scene alone boosted the business of the cold drink shop by two or three times.
Now, all of these people are very enthusiastic and urging him to update his content.
Xiao Yu knew without even thinking...
As long as you update it every few days, you can reap huge profits, just like harvesting leeks.
Therefore, he naturally did not want these people to leave.
