OHOMA..
I wonder if they have achieved any success in the project..
I wonder if they will be able to prevent the disaster..
I wonder if I will ever be able to reach that stage to make a difference..
I've finally connected with someone who carries that bloodline; now all I have to do is fight for it and make it there before the disaster strikes.
While travelling through the chaotic space, I lost track of how much time I had spent sleeping in the space. However, I am very certain that 200 years have passed in my cultivation world, which equates to just 2 years in this dimension, according to my calculations.
I have also gained much from travelling through the chaotic space; it is only by chance that I have lived, but the seven principal barriers that have protected me have all been exhausted. I have enough chaos qi to repair the barriers, but to properly restore them, I will need seven sources of barrier qi to finish the repair. I'll put it aside for the time being; I'm entirely secure till I reach a lower level void dimension.
The system pondered this.
"System" Zhou Zi called it in his mind.
"I suppose I should name you; it seems strange to call you system or Winemaster System," Zhou Zi stated.
"Stop!" The system actually screamed. The system realized that it would be named permanently after the host named it in accordance with its fundamental laws. The system attempted to prevent Zhou Zi from naming it, since the system had just experienced Zhou Zi's awful naming ability.
Zhou Zi named the system "Immy." Short for Immortal. I hope you genuinely become immortal, Immy, and watch over the tavern business forever. "Haah, such a terrible name, but I have to live with it forever," System groaned.
"OK, quit complaining," Zhou Zi said. "Let's get back to business, and show me the rewards. Also, please provide your opinions on how to proceed. I'm sure you have a reason for linking with me and mentioning the lower level mortal dimension. Also, fill me in on the dimension stuff. "
What a wise young man...thought system!
When Zhou Zi attempted to enter the shop, he was surprised to find himself barred by some type of barrier.
"Immy! What exactly does this mean? "
"The shop is being refurbished; please wait for an hour for the restoration to be completed."
Zhou Zi pondered his future plans for the rest of his life. He is certain that he would be able to make enough money to cover his expenses and more under the system, Immy. In addition, since I don't have to worry about finances, I can pursue my computer science research interests on the side as well.
Zhou Zi inspected his bank account and discovered that he had enough money to sustain him for 10 years if he was frugal with his expenditures. In addition, he had his own invention, which he might potentially market. Now that I'm free of commitments and other obligations, I should devote my time and energy to myself and my business.
Zhou Zi looked along the street and thought to himself, "This is where I'll be spending the most of my time while I'm in the lower level mortal realm." I could choose to make the store much more opulent, and with Immy's assistance in renovating for free, I could get a lot more done quickly.
This Qin street is about 500 feet long with 5 stores on each side of the street. He had two closed stores on the left and two open stores on the right; a tailor's shop and a grocery store, all of which are for sale owing to a lack of business. He may purchase them and organize them in such a manner that he has one shop in the center for a public bar and two stores on each side for expensive private areas.
I am certain that Immy provides the finest protection that this mortal realm has to offer, if not more. This is part of the prize, so I'll find out later. This will be advantageous because major players will be able to hold a safe chat without concern in the private section. With a storage facility in the rear. He will dwell on the first level, where he will have a 500-foot-long floor all to himself, where he will be able to live, train, and do other things.
He may also purchase the five businesses on the other side of the street for a parking lot and arrange for something underground. It will also be adequately safeguarded by Immy protecting it.
Zhou Zi didn't spend time deliberating more. He called the Aho firm, with whom he had been discussing the sale of his technology. He was eventually linked to CEO Mayra after going through various stages. They bargained some more and arrived at a final amount.
He went to a neighbouring café to look at the value of the nine establishments he wanted to acquire. He merely went forward with the price listed, not wanting to cause a fuss. He contacted the agent and requested that he finalise the paperwork. He also carefully cycled some money to make it seem as though he spent it on renovations; otherwise, he would be in danger if the matter was investigated further. With all of this, he was only left with enough money for a year's survival, provided he spent it frugally.
He asked Immy to halt the remodelling and resume work after the formalities were completed, which would take a few days. With nothing else to do, he went to the closest hotel and booked a room for a few days. He couldn't wait to look at the reward and discuss a few things with Immy now that he had the time.
