892: New World: World of Martial Soul
As soon as these words were spoken,
Everyone around looked bewildered.
Why did he raise the price?
For so many days, it's been rare to see such an openly unscrupulous merchant; is he really not afraid of retribution?
After hearing this, the young man's already somewhat pale face, due to his illness, turned even whiter: "I can't afford it."
"Then just read it in the bookstore; that doesn't cost money," Ye Tian suggested.
"Can I rent it?" the young man asked again, somewhat reluctantly.
He was going to another City for treatment after a while.
He had discovered this book while browsing bookstores recently, and was attracted to it, so he wanted to buy it and read it while hospitalized in the other City.
Now that he couldn't afford to buy it, he could only settle for the next best option: renting.
However, in response to his question, Ye Tian slowly shook his head: "Because you like it, this book is not available for rent."
Upon receiving this answer, a hint of disappointment flashed in the young man's eyes.
Because he liked it, the price was higher.
Was this the taste of loving something but being unable to obtain it? He hadn't expected this Bookstore Boss to teach him a lesson.
The continuous rain hadn't stopped.
Ye Tian watched the disappointed young man walk towards the outside of the Bookstore, his gaze flickering slightly.
Sometimes, some things, once missed, are just missed.
Ye Tian's choice of Host was always casual.
He could be so outrageous as to post a comment online and randomly select a netizen from the replies to be his Host.
Or he could be formal, designing layers of tests and waiting for the other party to finally complete them before deciding to bind.
Although asking for double the price for a book was indeed somewhat outrageous, if even this kind of outrageousness couldn't be accepted, how could they be suitable to carry the even more outrageous things that would follow?
"If you really want it, come back and buy it after you're well," Ye Tian's voice appeared beside the young man holding an umbrella at the doorway.
"Well?" The young man's footsteps paused, his mood low as he said: "I know my illness; the Doctor said unless there's a miracle..."
"If I really get better, I'll come and finish reading that book!" Turning back, the Man finished speaking and walked into the rain curtain, holding his umbrella.
Ye Tian looked at the other party's thin, small back, his heart silent.
In this World, perhaps a little miracle was still missing.
...
A week later.
Ye Tian was reading alone in the Bookstore.
This week, he had finished adjusting everything in the store.
The Bookstore's name was changed to 【 Kou Shi Bookstore 】.
All the books in the store were single copies.
This resulted in a wide variety of books in the Bookstore, but also made the entire Bookstore seem not like a place doing business selling books at all.
Ye Tian didn't care about this.
Taking over a Bookstore was just for amusement; would he really go into business to make money?
Perhaps because this Bookstore hadn't changed for many years, the recent changes had actually increased the flow of people.
Most of the people who came in continuously were just reading books in the Bookstore.
They also knew that buying books here wasn't cost-effective.
Fortunately, reading in the store was free.
"Boss, then how much is this book, 'Martial Soul World'?" At the counter stood a Man in his twenties.
While asking, he had already taken out his telephone, presumably ready to pay.
"Haven't you already finished reading it? Why pay to buy it?" Ye Tian glanced at the relatively popular book on the table, then asked the young man in front of him.
These past few days, he had noticed this guy coming to the Bookstore to follow this book.
"I finished reading it, but I don't like freeloading; the money for the book still needs to be given," the young man expressed his attitude.
"Just pay the price listed on the back."
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, the money was already transferred to his account.
Finally, the Man lightly coughed, as if just getting to the main point: "Boss, I want to ask, do you have a girlfriend?"
"My Sister is 27 this year, fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, currently runs her own company, and has achieved financial freedom. I just briefly described your information to my Sister, and she asked me to get your contact information for her. I think you can get to know my Sister."
"Not only did you briefly describe my information, but you also secretly took my picture and sent it to your Sister, didn't you?" Ye Tian added.
This made the other party scratch his head awkwardly and laugh: "Boss, you're truly a Divine Calculator, just like your looks, which directly made my Sister lose all resistance."
Listening to the other party's honest words, Ye Tian coughed twice without blushing or his heart pounding: "Little brother, do you really want to help your Sister get my number?"
"What, is there a problem? Do you already have a girlfriend, Boss?"
"No, I don't," Ye Tian replied, then changed the subject: "It's just that getting my number will be a little difficult."
"Difficult? Just tell me, Boss, as long as it's not too outrageous."
"It might actually be a little outrageous..." Ye Tian finished speaking and pointed at the book on the counter: "Buy this book."
"Buy this book?" The young man scratched his head: "Didn't I already buy it at the original price?"
"That was the money for the book itself. The second payment is the money to activate the VIP for this book."
This answer from Ye Tian made the young man a little silent.
He felt he wasn't a fool, but he was being treated like one.
He took out his telephone and glanced at it.
His Sister had just sent a message.
"Within an hour, I want all the information on that handsome guy! At the very least, get me his contact information! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
Below this message was a red envelope transfer of 9999, clearly the reward his Sister had given.
"Okay, I'll buy it!" So what if he was treated like a fool?
Money was innocent.
He couldn't just watch the red envelope sent by his biological Sister sit there alone with no one to accept it.
"Beep ~ Payment successful."
After this message appeared on his telephone, the young man turned and looked at Ye Tian with a smile.
He was clearly waiting for the other party to give him the number.
But the next moment,
The young man seemed to be electrocuted, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the ground.
And at the moment he fell, his whole person turned into a flash of light and disappeared!
Ye Tian calmly looked at the counter.
The book 'Martial Soul World' was slowly closing on the counter.
And as it closed, in another time and space, a magnificent World was also slowly unfolding...
