"Ha ha—life is tough!"
From Lufeng's words, Qin Shou could tell that Lufeng was aware of the long-standing annoying issue that troubled him. So he continued to ask, "But about that topic of Return, why did the poultry chicken come first?"
Lufeng smiled calmly and said slowly, "Is such a simple question even worth pondering? Starting from the origin of life, I can say with one hundred percent certainty that the chicken came first. I don't know which fool came up with this question, leading you all to be misled, where intelligence backfires. Just look at the Ice Age and the propagation of life; it's not hard to understand. Chickens, like other life forms, also grow from tiny life cells to form a complete individual. The chicken was born at that time and gradually adapted to Earth's environment, eventually becoming what we know as a chicken. To reproduce and ensure the continuity of life, various biological series gradually formed, some directly forming embryos while others relied on eggs. So you see, isn't it true that the chicken came first?"
"The boss is right; it's all due to life's pressures. The ancients truly do not deceive me, ha ha!" Gao Chao laughed.
Wang Xiaojing raised an eyebrow slightly and pouted, "What a character!"
"I see now!" After hearing Lufeng's answer, Qin Shou felt as if he had traveled through time and finally understood a historically profound annoying issue.
At this moment, after Lufeng and the others dealt with the camp's verbal Rebel Thug, they were about to delve deeper when they heard an astonishing System Announcement:
"Ding!"
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Beast of Emotion for obtaining Storekeeper's Secret during the brush!
System Announcement: Congratulations to player Beast of Emotion for obtaining Storekeeper's Secret during the brush!
...
Three System Announcements drove all players into a frenzy, sparking discussions filled with envy and jealousy.
Gao Chao was momentarily stunned, taking a while to regain his senses before slowly saying, "Another beast; it seems there are truly many beasts in Wen Tian World."
Qin Shou rolled his eyes and said, "I say Second Brother, don't beat around the bush!"
Gao Chao kicked out playfully, passing Lufeng's earlier annoyance onto Qin Shou while jokingly scolding him, "If you call me Second Brother again, I won't show you Teacher Aoi's new work in the future."
"Ha ha—Teacher Aoi has changed careers and is no longer producing a/v works!" Qin Shou said with a lewd smile.
"What the hell!"
...
At this moment, it was only 13:06, meaning that the reverse activity had just passed six minutes. Some people were shocked by the speed of Beast of Emotion's reversal, unaware that there were even faster ones. However, his sheer luck ignited passion in all players, who worked harder to grind Rebel, eagerly anticipating their next drop of Storekeeper's Secret.
Shortly after the System Announcement, another world announcement followed.
World Announcement: Hello everyone, I am Extreme Radiance, the leader of Extreme Radiance Dynasty. I am willing to pay 10,000 for your Storekeeper's Secret. If you are not satisfied, come to Suzhou Rare Beast Shop at 14:00 for a face-to-face discussion.
"What the hell, that beast definitely won't sell it to him!" Qin Shou couldn't help but speak up in defense.
Qiu Han replied calmly, "It's hard to say. In front of money, even a non-beast might turn into one!"
"Exactly, Qin Shou, you haven't even dropped a Shopkeeper, why are you so excited!" Gao Chao teased.
"Damn, I can't dance with you!" After saying that, Qin Shou ignored Gao Chao's teasing.
...
Asking Heaven no longer needed a small horn for world announcements but charged a high price of 10 gold coins. Now, 10 gold coins were something ordinary players couldn't afford.
After hearing the world announcement, Murong Xiaoxiao was moved and asked several questions in succession: "Is the Storekeeper's Secret really that valuable? What exactly is its use? Can't we sell things at stalls? Isn't opening a shop so expensive that it would lead to losses?"
Lufeng smiled slightly and explained, "Compared to stalls, shops have many more advantages: they can sell more items and pets; they can purchase raw materials; they can still do business while the owner is offline; there's no need to sit around like at a stall; multiple people can manage it, reducing the owner's burden; and items sold in the shop are more concentrated, making it easier for buyers to find what they want. Generally speaking, ordinary people can't open shops. If managed poorly, it leads to more losses than profits. The only ones who can make money are either studios or large guilds. If someone tries to run it alone, they'll end up crying because their sales might not even cover taxes! The daily tax rent is likely a death sentence for the shop owner."
Although Lufeng had never opened a shop himself, he had a basic understanding of it: players needed to reach level 50 before they could go to Luoyang and find the merchant boss Qiao Fusheng to open their own shop, which required a certain amount of money and a Storekeeper's Secret.
"Then how do we run the store?" Murong Xiaoxiao asked.
At this moment, Murong Xiaoxiao imagined herself owning a store, where she could sell what she didn't want and acquire what she needed, becoming a small boss. Just thinking about it felt very pleasant.
Regarding this matter, Lufeng had no experience and shook his head, "I don't really understand... Why do you want a store?"
Murong Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and asked, "Is it possible?"
"You should ask Xiaojing!"
Lufeng found it difficult to answer Murong Xiaoxiao's request. If everyone were not studio members, he would naturally let her have fun. However, now he couldn't just think about his own enjoyment and couldn't act as he pleased, so he couldn't make that decision.
Wang Xiaojing immediately said happily, "Of course! We can manage the store together. I know a bit about store management. The main thing is to ensure that the capital isn't too low. If the capital is insufficient to pay the taxes imposed by the System, the System will declare the store bankrupt. The money earned by the store will first replenish the capital, so maintaining continuous profitability is the best way to protect the store. When capital is insufficient, you can also inject your own money to save it in emergencies. It's particularly important to note that taxes are higher when the counter is open for business, so it's best to temporarily close the counter when there are no products available. To run the store better, we need to cater to customer needs and open based on those needs. The store name should be clear, and the introduction of the store must be straightforward. I'm actually looking for someone to co-manage the store; if you want to open one, I'll make you the Shopkeeper while I help manage it."
"Thank you!" Murong Xiaoxiao happily agreed without any formalities with Wang Xiaojing.
Wang Xiaojing still had some thoughts about running a store that she hadn't mentioned. Besides selling items, she wanted to acquire raw materials and then resell them second-hand. Knowing that life players often struggle with a lack of raw materials, Wang Xiaojing understood well that even a skilled artisan cannot cook without rice; having great skills without raw materials is futile.
As they chatted, Lufeng and others finished off 30 Rebel Thugs and welcomed the long-awaited Rebel Leader.
Without any suspense, the Rebel Leader fell under their siege.
"Ding!"
System notification: You will be automatically teleported out of the Dungeon in 20 seconds.
Facing such an ordinary boss, if it weren't for time constraints, Lufeng could have taken down the Rebel Leader alone. However, this wasn't a time for individual performance; it required teamwork to finish quickly. Only by defeating more enemies could they have a chance to obtain more rewards.
This time, the Rebel Leader was defeated under Gao Chao's Blood Battle in All Directions and did not immediately respawn; it lay quietly on the ground without moving, with a yellow package dropped underneath it. Everyone used their minds to collect their packages.
Gao Chao checked the package and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Haha~ My luck has exploded, I actually got the patterns for Hidden Weapon Stamina Skill Engraving. It seems that the more items you get when you kill the boss, the better."
Thinking of this, Gao Chao gave Qiu Han the middle finger: "Fourth, you are really not being fair. The last Rebel Leader must have dropped something good, and you quietly made a fortune."
Qiu Han innocently took the hit and calmly replied: "I really didn't know about that. I only got a high-level Gem Synthesis Rune and a Wishing Spring, nothing else."
Hearing about the high-level Gem Synthesis Rune, Qin Shou was stunned. He never expected that clearing the dungeon would have a chance to drop these items, which once again overturned his understanding of Asking Heaven. Meanwhile, Gao Chao's earlier joy plummeted; he initially thought that getting the patterns for Hidden Weapon Stamina Skill Engraving was an extraordinary event, but compared to the high-level Gem Synthesis Rune, it was nothing to brag about.
Lufeng was also taken aback, already guessing that items from the former Sky Dragon Treasure Store would now be distributed to players as rewards through Dungeon, while the official side would profit more from the appreciation of gold coins.

After 20 seconds, Lufeng and the others were teleported out of the Dungeon, returning to Dunhuang.
