Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.
At the entrance of the store, Luo Chuan lay in a rocking chair, looking relaxed, but he couldn't help but sigh as he watched the bustling crowds on the streets just outside the alley.
Five days! For five whole days, he hadn't sold a single bottle of Coke!
But what could he do? The shop was tucked away in this remote alley, so it was no surprise that there were no customers.
It was already evening, and Luo Chuan gazed at the sunset in the distance, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
It seemed like there wouldn't be any guests today.
Just as he was about to get up to close the door, a soft voice came from the alley.
"Tsk tsk tsk, opening a shop in such a small alley, boss, you are really something!"
A young man in black brocade approached the store, commenting as he walked.
Luo Chuan's heart leapt in joy. It seemed that business was finally picking up.
"As the saying goes, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. As long as the goods are good enough, business will naturally thrive," Luo Chuan said, glancing at the young man with an unchanged expression.
The young man was momentarily stunned, then began to reflect on Luo Chuan's casual words.
"The fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley... Good! Good! I didn't expect you to be a man of good taste, boss! I'm sure we'll be great friends!"
The young man's eyes lit up, savoring the words, and a laugh escaped him.
If anyone else had heard this name, they would have been shocked, because Bu was the surname of the Southern Protector of the Sky Star Empire, and there was no other family with that name in Jiuyao City.
Because of this, the identity of the boy named Bu Lige was obvious: he was the sole young master of the Southern Protector's household!
However, Luo Chuan, who had been in this world for just over a month, had no idea about any of this.
"If that's the case, why not come in and take a look?" Luo Chuan said casually.
"This is natural." Bu Lige smiled and nodded. "Boss, you're very interesting, and the things you sell seem impressive!"
As he spoke, Bu Lige stepped into the shop.
Upon examining the store's decoration, Bu Lige's eyes filled with surprise.
As the son of the Southern Protector, Bu Lige was well-versed in luxury, but this was his first time seeing something like this shop.
The colored glaze was so pure it could be displayed at an auction, yet here it was used for counters and shelves. Was the world going mad, or was he the one who was out of touch?
Colored glaze was a valuable commodity in the Sky Star Empire, a luxury that only royal nobles and even cultivators could afford.
"What's the story behind this shop?" Bu Lige's eyes shifted toward Luo Chuan, and doubt crept into his mind.
"The items in the store are on the shelves over there, go ahead and have a look," Luo Chuan gestured to the glass shelves nearby.
Bu Lige snapped out of his thoughts and walked toward the shelves where the Coke bottles were displayed.
"One, two, three…"
Luo Chuan silently counted in his head.
A few seconds later, as expected, Bu Lige's shocked exclamation rang out.
"What, what?!"
After reading the description of the Coke on the shelf, Bu Lige's eyes widened in disbelief, his expression filled with astonishment.
"Recovering from non-fatal injuries instantly? Boss, are you serious?!" Bu Lige couldn't help but exclaim.
