Since Lusnian killed that Ice Toad Centipede, he became a huge celebrity in Calderra, with even the king holding him in high regard. The Church of the Light had fallen into decline, with its leader committing suicide, turning the ‘Light God’ into a mere joke. Since the bishops and priests were completely unaware of the truth, the king, being merciful, pardoned them, as long as they did not err again.
Although the divine name of the State Star District did not reflect its reputation, this place was still considered sacred in the eyes of all, primarily because the Demon Lord’s shop remained here, attracting daily worshippers. Especially those whom Lusnian had saved; during the incident in Uya District, they had thought they were on the verge of death when the demon appeared like a savior, effortlessly slaying the monster.
Since then, the bluish flames Lusnian released had been embellished by countless recounts, stirring regret and awe among many who had not witnessed the event firsthand. What a bizarre and extraordinary special ability it was—one hand representing destruction and the other rebirth, with flames purging evil and springs cleansing filth. The State Star District had completely become Lusnian’s exclusive church, with no regulations regarding visits, yet everyone held it in reverence and refrained from any misconduct.
Under the strong recommendation of King and the followers of the Floats, coupled with the miraculous effects of the products, it quickly gained popularity among residents of other cities. Towns of all sizes prided themselves on having a Floats establishment. If a city lacked a Floats shop, the local residents would undoubtedly object, joking that it would be inconvenient to shop elsewhere.
The purchasing power across the continent was not to be underestimated, as order after order poured in over several days like snowflakes, overwhelming Lusnian. Fortunately, Rong Qing proved worthy of the artificial intelligence title, calculating quickly and effectively, showing himself to be a living ledger.
In just a few days, energy coins accumulated like a rolling snowball, finally surpassing the million mark one day.
[Congratulations, host, on completing the task in the Western Fantasy Dimension. Please transition to the next dimension within sixty minutes. This transition will cost fifty thousand energy coins.]
A progress bar soon appeared on the system panel, with a countdown timer decreasing like an hourglass. An hour was enough time.
Lusnian returned to the Abyss, bringing Liu Yi and Liu Er together and carefully explaining the matters to them, instructing them to consult with Abel and others in his absence. Liu Yi and Liu Er were both quite intelligent and responded, “Master, we understand.”
He spent a few more thousand energy coins to elevate the shop to a higher tier and purchased enough stock for sale. After several months of traveling here, it was time to conclude. Once everything was settled, more than half an hour had passed. Lusnian didn’t wait further and directly pressed the teleportation button.
He had already delegated the remaining tasks in the last couple of days and confirmed with Rong Qing that completing the task would not affect the shop’s future development. With Liu Yi and Liu Er present, he did not need to stay constantly to manage it; he could activate the dimension-jumping for only a thousand energy coins and could return anytime afterward.
Abel and Woris were well aware of his impending departure and had mentally prepared themselves. They had guessed that the Demon Lord was not from this world; after all, the remarkable products and the sudden appearance of the Demon Lord in the Abyss, with no prior mention of his existence, were quite suspicious.
The Floats establishment was stable now, and with Woris overseeing it, there wouldn’t be significant turmoil.
At the moment Lusnian activated the dimension transition, a flash of light engulfed him and Rong Qing, causing them to vanish from their location.
[Next Dimension: Infinite Horror Game]
[Dimension Information: This is a world of infinite flow where players from the twenty-first century are forced to join a game, battling for survival in various horror games. Winning a game earns different points, and accumulating ten thousand points allows them to return to Earth with the chance of survival.]
[Your Task: Earn five million energy coins.]
[Currency Exchange: One point equals one hundred energy coins.]
[Task officially begins.]
The system straightforwardly conveyed the information, and with the initiation sound effect, Lusnian opened his eyes.
Before him, the buildings resembled residential complexes on Earth, though simply decorated. He found himself standing in the middle of a main avenue, surrounded by emptiness.
Rong Qing stood by his side, stepping forward and saying, “Master, you can choose any place here to establish your shop. Once you choose, it will officially open for business.”
Lusnian did not hastily decide; he first walked along the avenue until, after walking out of a cluster of buildings, he came upon a spacious area standing with nine doors, painted black with red rust, emanating a cold and deadly aura.
Behind him were residential buildings, and in the center loomed the nine doors; the area was accessible from all directions, with nearly every path leading here. It resembled a satellite city, with many residential structures encircling a central plaza. The nine doors appeared perilous, raised an uncomfortable sensation in his heart.
Each of the nine areas had its own street, and the path Lusnian traversed was from the southwest corner. From his perspective, the nine doors leaned slightly, adorned with mysterious purple patterns.
What was the secret to opening a shop? The primary condition, of course, was convenient transportation.
Observing the area carefully, Lusnian formulated a plan. Since that was the case, he would set his shop here.
He raised his hand to point, and Rong Qing followed his finger, revealing that it pointed directly at the nine doors across a wide plaza, one on each end, clearly visible.
