The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 13 Shop Expansion Packages
As Jiu Shen was sitting quietly on the chair, he suddenly heard a serious voice from the system that rang beside his ear.
– Ding!
– Achieved Missions: Get 1000 True Crystals
– Loading Gifts!
– You receive ‘Store’ Expansion Package
– You accept Frozen Origin wine making method
Jiu Shen remained calm on the surface after seeing the clues in front of him, but he was extremely shocked inwardly. ‘System, what is this Store Expansion Package?’
– Ding!
– With this item, the host will be able to start the expansion of the store. Do you want to use it now?
‘No! Not at the moment. Remind me after we close shop.’ Jiu Shen spoke in his mind.
The system remained silent after that.
“Gurgle! Swig! Swig! Gurgle!”
“The taste of this wine is almost on par with that of the emperor's most favored wine, the Phoenix God Fire Wine! And to think that there is still something much better sold inside this store! Now, I look forward to that Deep Sea flavor. The Spring Dew. Even the imperial father might be infatuated with this wine ..” The fourth prince smiled foolishly while continuing to praise the wine. Defender Duanmu nodded his head from time to time to show his approval.
“Lord Wine Jiu, it's time for us to go. Thank you for the wine and the dishes, therefore, some of my brothers broke through the small realm.” Boss Scar smiled happily as he cupped his fists towards Jiu Shen. The latter simply nodded his head without changing his expression.
Boss Scar and the other mercenaries then bowed respectfully towards the fourth prince and Defender Duanmu. “Your Highness, nice to meet you today. I hope we will meet again in this store ..”
The fourth prince waved his right hand and nodded his head. “Of course, how could we not be here? The wine is so good, and even the only dish in this store is comparable to the best dishes from Crouching Dragon Pavilion.”
“With Wine Master Jiu's expertise, he could definitely make something much better than this. There will probably be more wine and dishes in the future.” Boss Scar said with a small drool coming out of his lips.
Defender Duanmu was deep in his own thoughts. He did not even glance at Boss Scar and the other mercenaries. He only focused his senses on his dantian. ‘What the fuck?! It really increases my cultivation a little! Then if that was the case, I might even be promoted to the 8th Divine Rank if I continue to pay a visit here in the future. The Emperor must know about this store..’.
After Boss Scar and the other mercenaries left the store, only the fourth prince and Defender Duanmu remained. They still wanted to order, but Jiu Shen shook his head strongly. “You are not allowed to order more dishes ..”
The fourth prince frowned, but then he recalled the other party's strength, so he hid his displeasure in his heart. Defender Duanmu felt sad and he couldn't help but ask. “Wine Master Jiu, why don't you allow us to order more? Do you still hold a grudge because of the previous incident?”
Jiu Shen nonchalantly glanced at Defender Duanmu, making the latter's heart thump. ‘Shoppers! I forgot that this guy could kill us just by flicking his finger!’
“Wine and dishes sold in my store contain a lot of true essence. You have already ordered a lot today, and the true essence within the little boy's body is already full. If he consumes more...” Jiu Shen makes movements with both hands while saying the word: ‘Kaboom!’
Defender Duanmu stood up vigilantly. He then hurriedly placed his hand on the fourth prince's back to check the true essence within his body. And indeed, after examining it, he found a large amount of true essence within the fourth prince's body. If he consumed more, then he would definitely explode due to the excessive accumulation of true essence.
Human dantians can store a certain amount of true essence depending on their cultivation strength or body strength. Although the fourth prince was a rare genius who was already at the top of the 4th rank Crusader Knights, his dantian still had a limit on how much true essence he could store. Defender Duanmu did not notice it because his dantian was still not full, and he was also preoccupied with a small leap in his strength.
“Lord Wine Jiu, thank you very much. This old man was blind and unaware of the vastness of heaven and earth.” Defender Duanmu thanked Jiu Shen gratefully. If he gave them another order, the fourth prince would explode due to the excessive accumulation of true essence. He could not bear that kind of guilt in his life, so he was very grateful to Jiu Shen.
The fourth prince had never noticed it himself and he had only realized it after hearing Jiu Shen's words. His body turned cold and he hurriedly checked his own dantian. He was scared out of his wits after finally feeling his full Dantian.
As the true essence of Jiu Shen's wine and dishes was calm and serene, he failed to feel that his dantian was full. It was unlike the ferocious and violent true essence of pills made by the alchemists of the Alchemy Hall.
“Thank you for your reminder, Wine Master Jiu Shen.” The fourth prince cupped his fists respectfully. He actually harbored displeasure towards someone who only cared about his well-being. He was angry at himself now.
“You can go now. And don't worry, I have no plans to conquer this empire. If I had thought of that, then I would have already done it, given my strength.” Jiu Shen's words were a bit arrogant, but the fourth prince and Defender Duanmu didn't think so. The man in front of them actually had the power to conquer their kingdom, so he had the capital to be arrogant.
The fourth prince and Defender Duanmu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing his words. They left the shop afterwards. Of course, they would report to the emperor about the emergence of powerful experts within their kingdom. He was like a bomb that could explode at any moment from now on.
Jiu Shen did not know what was on their minds, even if she did, she did not care in the slightest. He closed the store after everyone left and asked the system to give him the Shop Expansion Pack.
– Do you want to use it now?
