Chapter 509 Anniversary Celebration, the Decisive Game (Revised)
I had just returned from the Three Worlds of Jianwang. Before I could even digest the clone’s memory, the system’s not-so-caring assistant sent me a new notification.
Ding dong! Your system’s cutie is online!
"Time flies, and it has been nearly a year since the owner took over the Dimension Store and became the official owner of the store. Please hold an anniversary celebration on the first anniversary in seven days!"
The notification is not very complicated, just the short sentence above.
After reading this notice, Zhao Chen felt inexplicably complicated, not because it was difficult to hold the anniversary celebration, but because he thought about his experiences this year.
I never thought that a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and the scene of taking over the Dimension Store from Lao Zhao a year ago was still vivid in my mind, vividly before my eyes.
Looking back on this year's experience, Zhao Chen felt a lot of emotions in Zhao Chen's heart. As his inner emotions changed, the source of autonomous operation seemed to be stimulated by something, and slowly began to accelerate.
Then, Shopkeeper Zhao stretched out his hand to press the center of his eyebrows. With the touch of his fingertips on the center of his eyebrows, the meaning of clarity and wisdom spread, causing all the turbulent emotions to gradually stop.
About half a quarter of an hour later, using a principle that he didn't even understand, he successfully broke through and raised his cultivation level to six levels and five stars.
"Reminiscing about the past, this kind of thing actually happened to me. It seems that after becoming the owner of a dimensional store, I seem to have changed a lot. At the beginning, I planned to be a happy salted fish that will never turn over. It is really a change of environment. Life!”
Putting away his chaotic thoughts and calming down the memories that kept popping up in his mind, Zhao Chen gently tapped his head a few times and felt a little emotional.
That look is very much like an old man in his seventies or eighty years old, sighing with emotion at the once glorious scene in the setting sun.
(Zhao Chen: Sure enough, I still miss my old life as a salted fish. I sleep until I wake up naturally and my eyes cramp when I look at it.)
So, now let us immerse ourselves in the rare self-expression!
1, 2, 3!
Okay, now that I’m done with my emotions, let’s get down to business!
After beating the villain who tempted him to fall half to death in his own mind, our shopkeeper Zhao has returned to his usual reliable state.
So, he immediately pulled up the light screens in front of him that displayed relevant information about shops, individuals, markets, etc., and started working conscientiously as a shopkeeper.
I, Zhao Chen, am very dedicated as a shop owner!
After being disturbed by the news of an anniversary celebration in the system (Zhao Da shop owner:???), Zhao Chen subconsciously made preliminary plans for the anniversary celebration in an orderly manner.
"If we look at it from the general situation and the perspective of ordinary stores, anniversary celebrations are nothing more than a means of gathering popularity. Although dimensional stores do not need to gather popularity, they should be able to learn from one or two of the methods."
"The first is price reduction promotion. This method is the most common, but very effective, if you switch to a dimensional store"
"Yes, I can temporarily open the permission to purchase goods. Regardless of whether I hold a membership card or a trading card, I can come to the dimensional store to purchase goods, but only during the celebration event. You can also purchase goods according to the membership card level, trading card and Giving a small discount for situations such as no card will probably arouse unprecedented enthusiasm. "
"Then there will be a grand show or concert, maybe inviting a few celebrities?"
"This method is not to say that it cannot be used in dimensional stores, but it is probably not suitable for the first anniversary celebration. After the existence of the music industry becomes known to everyone, there will probably be performances held using the secondary eternal world as a gimmick. It’s a big impact. Well, I’ll write this down for the third or fifth anniversary celebration!”
"Wait, it doesn't seem like it can't be done. If the performers are changed from celebrities to powerful people, and the performances such as singing and dancing sketches are replaced by sermons and battles, well, this method is feasible, and the performers can also be replaced directly. On the stage, let’s hold a small reclamation activity. It’s not hard to find places like the Great Power Cave and the Ancient Secrets!”
"It's a pity that this anniversary event is an overall event, and it is only counted once in the accumulation of upgrade conditions. Otherwise, this shop owner would be able to fully satisfy this upgrade condition in one anniversary celebration!"
"In addition to these words, there are also"
Zhao Chen, who was stuck at work, focused most of his energy on this anniversary celebration. While thinking about it habitually, he began to write quickly on the newly launched "Anniversary Plan" light screen. "Write" a series of words.
This is the legendary mental coding method that countless authors long for!
Ahem, cough, that’s too far off topic.
Under such circumstances, shopkeeper Zhao is working hard to make plans for the anniversary celebration, which is quite similar to the ancient literati who "didn't hear anything outside the window and only read the books of sages."
Of course, this is also because other worlds do not need him to deal with it for the time being. After all, most of the customers' attention is focused on the game entertainment market and the [King of Games] event with extremely generous rewards.
Even when shopkeeper Zhao was working hard, the customers at the game and entertainment market were almost going crazy.
"Oh my gosh, this game is so fun. I never thought it would be so easy to dominate the world. As soon as I save enough dimensional coins to buy trading cards, I will go back and follow the steps above!"
An unknown villain from the martial arts world shouted so, and on the computer screen in front of him, the words "Congratulations to the player for dominating the world and successfully passing the level" were displayed.
Well, this already meets the criteria for entering Professor Yang's treatment center
"Huh, it's finally over. This game is a bit difficult. If you don't practice for a long time, you can't pass it smoothly, so I decided to vote for this game so that it can be called the dazzling pearl in the final arena!"
The black bear spirit in a low-level world took his hands off the keyboard, and his bear face was full of seriousness. On the screen in front of him, the five big words "fruit connection" appeared clearly.
""
As time passed, customers who tried one game after another voted for the game they recognized, and then began to pull people they knew to vote together.
There are customers who make decisions quickly, and naturally there are hesitant customers.
Jiumozhi, who has not appeared for a long time, is thinking about which game he should choose. In the short period of time before, he has tried arcade machines, game consoles, computers and other game equipment, and has played dozens of games.
Therefore, Jiumozhi's hidden choice difficulty was triggered. He hesitated between these games and couldn't decide who to vote for.
There were many customers who had the same situation as him. Some of them were worried that the game they chose would not be selected in the end, resulting in this vote and the previous contact being wasted. Some of them followed the herd mentality and planned to wait and see for a while.
Arcade store, fighting game area.
"After a few good activities, I really feel refreshed. There is no need to say more. I will vote for this game!"
The old Taoist priest who put away the Golden Light Curse took out a cup of tea and chose the game he wanted to vote for with a smile. On the arcade in front of the old Taoist priest, the final evaluation slowly popped up.
"Congratulations to player Zhang Zhiwei for successfully achieving 99 consecutive wins and setting a new record in the game "Fighting Master". As the record achiever, he will be awarded 50 dimensional coins for the first time. If the record is maintained for 24 hours, he can receive 50 dimensional coins repeatedly!"
Feeling the balance on his trading card increase, the old Taoist priest's smile became more kind.
It seems that I, the old Taoist, should not be sorry for the ancestors of the Tianshi Mansion. I will sell the Tianshi Mansion skills. This game alone can restore Junior Brother Tian to his original state.
Thinking of this, the old Taoist sighed, thinking of another junior brother who made him worry, and his descendants.
I don’t know if Zhang Chulan, who has such an opportunity, can still look down on the position of the Taoist priest. What if he doesn’t even participate in the Luotian Grand Ceremony?
Just when the old Taoist priest was feeling uneasy, Wang Ye stopped his hand, turned his head and looked at the old Taoist priest beside him, and said with a few smiles: "Well, old Taoist priest, can you support a few more coins? I am..."
Poverty-stricken Taoist priest Wang, today is also a poor day!
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Hahaha, you are really a clever little ghost!"
"Old Taoist priest Liao praised."
Wang Ye smiled and scratched his head, as if he was a little embarrassed, but the thoughts beneath the surface were unknown to others.
It was also an arcade game store, but this one was a level-breaking game.
The future first-level Hongmeng controller Lin Lei Baruk was struggling with an arcade machine. From the looks of it, he should not be able to do other things before successfully getting the resurrection card.
In fact, even the daily food was bought by Beibei. Anyway, the food street market was right next to it, and it was very fast to go back and forth. If he had the ability of space, it would probably be even easier.
"Boss, you have been able to compress the clearance time to less than five minutes, haven't you reached the record yet?"
Because of his size, Beibei can only act as a runner for the time being. After all, the arcade machines here are all standardized, which is very unfriendly to monsters and demons with some size problems.
Just like the black bear and python in the game store next door, one is huge, one finger is bigger than the game console; the other has no hands, and its slippery tail rubbed on the game console for a long time but couldn't enter the game interface.
I could only helplessly watch other customers holding game consoles and pressing buttons frantically, and they played the handheld game with a feeling of war (fog).
Here, after hearing Beibei's words, Lin Lei, who finished another round of attempts and shortened the clearance time by one second, looked at the game victory interface in front of him and replied: "It's still a little short. If you want to get the resurrection card, you need to stay at the top of the record list of this game for three days. If it's just this level, it will probably be surpassed soon. I must work harder to revive Grandpa Delin!"
When he thought of Grandpa Delin's kind voice and smile, Lin Lei felt that he was a person who would not get tired, and he devoted himself to the game again.
In this game and entertainment street, there are not many people walking on the road, because most of them are playing games in the store, working hard for rich prizes.
In addition to these customers who are already struggling, there are many more customers who are about to join the group of strugglers.
In the Dimension Square, the new Dimension Light Gate continues to transport newcomers from various worlds here, increasing the number of customers in the store.
"I don't know which ability user's spatial ability actually stepped in accidentally, but I haven't heard of such a place in Academy City. Is it a secret research base?"
The body was emitting weak electric currents. The brown-haired, flat-chested psychic, who had not yet fully understood what was happening, was alert to everything around him.
This included the white-haired girl who was walking towards him, especially when he saw the ears on her head and the nine tails hanging behind her.
"Hello, my name is Jiuyue. I just accidentally fell into a hole and landed here. Do you know where this is? Oh, by the way, if it's convenient, can you tell me your name?"
The innocent nine-tailed fox Jiuyue was about to go out when she stepped into the light gate and was sent here.
Feeling the kindness emanating from Jiuyue, the brown-haired, flat-chested psychic dispersed the electric currents around his body and said, "My name is Misaka Mikoto, but I just got here and don't know where this is."
At this moment, a fixed-time broadcast notification appeared in the minds of the two girls, helping them quickly understand what kind of place this is.
By the way, this set-time broadcast notification is also targeted.
Under the blessing of the rules, only newcomers who don't know where this place is can hear it. As for those who have heard it once, they will not hear it again.
"It seems that we have arrived at an extraordinary place"
"Yes, do you want to play a game together? The game street is in front."
"Okay!"
The two girls whose worldviews have been reshaped walked towards the direction of the game explanation step by step, and their backs were full of desolation.
In fact, these two girls are just typical examples to be explained in detail. There are many newcomers who have similar experiences and practices as them. After understanding where this place is.
Their first reaction is to walk towards the food street market and the game entertainment street market. There are many people in these two street markets, which are excellent places to ask for information!
As for the fourth street market that was quietly opened-Qiaodutiangong, no one came here for the time being. After all, the entertainment street market activities are imminent, which completely concealed the opening of the fourth street market.
However, this is a good thing for several people in the fourth street market. A quiet environment is more conducive to their concentration on the research of the project at hand.
There is no need to elaborate on this street market here!
On the other side, as time passed, the first day of the [King of Games] event came to an end.
In order to ensure that everyone remembered to vote, the world administrator Yui specially sent a separate notice to remind these customers who were addicted to games to vote for the final four games of the event.
And this time was ten minutes before the end of the first day.
"Hey, the first day has passed like this? Time passed so quickly, I didn't even get through the 14th level! Vote? Then vote for my game, Sasuke, do you want to vote for mine too?"
"Idiot, this kind of game is just a delivery to others, or I have a better chance of winning!"
"What did you say?!"
Okay, the way these two communicate is always a little different from other normal people.
"Vote for the game of the final competition of the event? Then just vote for it, anyway, I still have confidence in the game."
King, who felt the warmth of home here, was already a little reluctant to return to the Hero Association.
"What a paradise. I've planned to live here forever. What do you think?"
After a long time of playing, Kong looked down at Bai beside him, but did not get any response, because Bai had fallen asleep in this familiar environment.
"
When the first day came to an end, the four games for the final match on the third day had also been determined.
They were
