"The window has some special function, and that's why he can sleep so peacefully?" The figure in the darkness had an expression as dark as the night.
Standing before Fang Qi's window, he thought for a while and murmured, "It seems like this kid's room has special protection, but..."
He glanced at the room next to Fang Qi's."It seems that the only employee lives in that room, and I guess it isn't protected..."
At this thought, he soon came to Jiang Xiaoyue's window.
Looking into the window, he saw a little head sticking out of a white blanket with cat patterns on it."This girl is also soundly asleep, and this shouldn't wake her up either."
He pushed at the window hard, but it didn't budge.
A bad feeling rose in him.
Then, banging noises sounded outside this loli's window!
- Half an hour later -
A figure in black sat on Fang Qi's shop's roof, panting slightly.
"Even the employee's window is protected!" Then, he stepped on the black tiles on the roof.
"Tiles?!" He looked down, and an idea dawned on him. He murmured with a snicker, "No matter how strong the protection is, you can't change the structure of a residential house. You can't stop me from pulling up the tiles, right?"
He reached out and pulled, but nothing moved! He pulled harder, but the result was the same!
"He! Ahh!" He unleashed his full strength.
"Huh! Huh!" He was soon exhausted.
About half an hour later, this mysterious person in black slowly drew out his long saber from his belt and stood before the door of the shop.
The saber had a dark red color to it, as if it had absorbed too much blood.
"I don't believe that the whole shop is unbreakable!" He held the saber with both hands, and the saber emitted a gloomy and horrifying presence as it created a dull and gritting noise that sounded like the crying from a dying man!
Engulfed in a powerful and frightening presence, he kept all his energy in control and didn't allow any of it to escape into the surroundings.
The air in the whole street flowed backward, and the gloomy nightly sky turned chillier. Even the moonlight and starlight were covered by a mysterious force!
Then, the saber moved, and a light slashed through the dark night like the call of the Grim Reaper!
It hacked viciously on the glass door of the Origins Internet Club.
Bang!
Shortly, loud door-banging noise sounded in the darkness!
...
"Yawn! Sleepy..." Fang Qi opened his sleepy eyes and saw it was just dawn.
At this moment, the sound of a door-opening came from Auntie Wang's bun shop next to Fang Qi's shop.
The smashing noises suddenly stopped!
Auntie Want opened the door and saw a weird warrior in black walking slowly toward the end of the street with a long saber hanging from his belt.
Auntie Wang glanced at him and saw his hand, which was resting on the saber handle, kept on spasming.
"How can one become a warrior if he can't even hold his saber?" Seeing the strange sight, Auntie Wang mumbled and then resumed putting up buns for sale.
"..."
"I dreamed of someone smashing on my window last night..." Fang Qi patted his forehead."It's probably because I'm releasing too little episodes for Jade Dynasty recently..."
"It's not up to me anyways..." Fang Qi glanced at the sky outside the window and pulled the blanket over his head, going back to sleep.
...
- In the Royal Palace -
The sky turned brighter. Emperor Ji Wu seemed to sense a movement near him and asked, "How did it go?"
"The owner of that shop is indeed extraordinary. I planned to capture the young owner and force him to show his strength, but..."
"But..." Ji Wu asked immediately, "Is his strength indeed great?"
The weird warrior in black looked embarrassed."I tried for the whole night but couldn't get into the shop."
Ji Wu: "..."
"There must be a powerful array protecting the shop. When I hacked the door with my saber, it remained intact. The result was the same even when I used 90% of my strength, " that man explained.
"That array is so powerful?" Ji Wu stroked his chin."No wonder that old Duke is awed by the shop. It seems that we must follow the old Premier's suggestion and let it be for the time being."
"Is your hand injured?" Ji Wu asked.
"I'm fine..."
"Good. You can go now."
"Yes!" After that answer, everything turned quiet.
Of course, the Emperor would never know that his most trusted subordinate had spent a night trying to shatter that shop's glass door and windows.
...
After getting up, Fang Qi checked the statistics. The number of viewers for each episode of Jade Dynasty had been about 100 the day before yesterday, but the number had increased to about 170 for each episode by the time he closed the shop last night.
At this rate, that task would be completed today or tomorrow.
At this moment, Fang Qi received another message from the System.
[The System will upgrade tonight. After the upgrade, the space in the shop will increase by four times, and there will be more computers. Other functions will be activated later. ]
...
It was time for the daily meeting between the Emperor and all the officials in Jingshi.
"Premier, is the shop that you just mentioned really so extraordinary?! Even scholars and civil officials like us can cultivate?!" When the officials walked toward the Grand Royal Palace, they chatted with each other.
"Of course!" Premier Zhang said, "Do you think I'm a liar? I watched a TV series in that shop for two days. While I was doing it, I felt warrior qi growing in me! Even Guard Bian confirmed it!"
"The cultivators' spiritual artifacts are so magical now!" Behind him, a middle-aged civil official said in astonishment, "Even we scholars can cultivate?!"
"Useless scholars..." one civil official said emotionally, "If that's true, then no one will dare to say that scholars are useless anymore!"
"In this big world, anything can happen! Hahaha!" another official laughed.
"Premier, I know that I shouldn't doubt your words, but..." One official was still unconvinced."Can I feel your warrior qi?"
"Of course!" Premier Zhang reached out his hand and said, "Go ahead!"
Premier Zhang placed his hand on that official's arm, and the latter instantly felt a strange warmth entering his body; it was weak but distinct.
"It's indeed warrior qi?!"
"Guys! After the morning meeting, let's go to Jiangnan together and watch the so-called TV series! What do you think?" someone suggested."It's far from here, but as the Premier said, it's worth the effort!"
