With a smile on his face, Luo Chuan looked at Yao Ziyan, feeling as if he had unintentionally helped her unlock a knot in her heart.
Since they had some idle time, Luo Chuan thought for a moment and then made a decision.
He went upstairs and returned with a small whiteboard in hand.
"Boss, what are you planning to do with that?" Yao Ziyan asked, curious.
"I'm going to write down the store's rules. That way, you won't have to repeat them to every new customer," Luo Chuan replied.
"That makes sense," Yao Ziyan nodded, then glanced at the whiteboard in Luo Chuan's hands. "Boss, let me do it!"
Luo Chuan didn't object and handed the board to her.
After a moment's thought, Luo Chuan said, "Just write three rules."
Yao Ziyan, with a flourish, began writing:
1. "Items in the store may only be purchased once per person per day."
2. "No disturbances are allowed in the store. Those who cause trouble will do so at their own risk."
3. "There are no discounts on items in the store."
"Boss, I'm done!" Yao Ziyan said as she finished writing. Three neat lines of black text appeared on the whiteboard.
"Hang it up," Luo Chuan instructed.
As the days passed, life in the shop remained tranquil despite the changes occurring in Nine Stars City.
Before long, a week had passed. During this time, in addition to their usual visits, Zhou Hu and Wei Qingzhu had come to the shop several times. Bu Shiyi had also become a frequent customer, all thanks to the remarkable effects of the instant noodles.
The tenfold boost in cultivation speed—though it only lasted an hour—was equivalent to the results of an entire day of training for most cultivators!
Today, Luo Chuan had finally completed a task issued by the system.

Luo Chuan had advanced from the First Order to the Second Order in just one week. If word of this spread throughout Azure, it would undoubtedly cause a stir.
In less than two weeks, from an ordinary person to the Second Order—this was unprecedented!
However, Luo Chuan wasn't particularly concerned. After all, what was the Second Order? Just basic practice.
"System, let's do the lottery," Luo Chuan thought.
In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the lottery space once more. This time, however, the system had something to say.
"Because the host has now accumulated four lottery chances, please select the development direction for Origin Mall."
"Development direction?" Luo Chuan asked, intrigued. "Please explain."
System: "Since it's called a mall, it's naturally based on selling goods. These goods can be divided into various categories, such as training, leisure, dining, entertainment... The host's choice will directly influence the future direction of Origin Mall."
Luo Chuan nodded in understanding, a bit surprised. It seemed that being a shopkeeper held more weight than he had realized.
From what the system was saying, it seemed that, in the future, Origin Mall could grow into a large-scale establishment, offering countless categories of goods!
After a brief moment of thought, Luo Chuan made his decision.
"System, I choose the direction of training."
In Azure, where cultivation was everything, it only made sense to choose training as the development path.
"Selection confirmed! The draw will now proceed."
As soon as the system's voice echoed, Luo Chuan noticed that the roulette had contracted significantly, the rewards displayed now much more abundant than before.
