Chapitre 24: Now a word from our sponsor
Long Zi, Jin Wu, and Mu Yu looked over before turning back as Jin Wu continued, "Anyway, like I was saying, I found a lot of good things. Basically, I bought everything on the street." Long Zi looked at him and sighed, "Junior brother… I think you may have been deceived. There's no so-called ancient energy in these artifacts, let alone any world shaking heavenly power…"
He picked up a stone lid and said "This isn't a- Hm?" he felt the Stone cauldron shaking in his dantian! He looked embarrassed and Jin Wu chuckled, "Just take it, bro. Don't worry about it." before waving down the waitress, smiling "Miss."
The Waitress walked over nervously as the man shouting at the door was scanning the restaurant with ruthless eyes.
She asked "Y-Yes?" Jin Wu smiled at her, "Could you grab another order of fried rice for my friend here? Also another pot of that wine, please." The Waitress swallowed and nodded. Jin Wu smiled at her, "Thank you, little lady." The Waitress smiled slightly, going to the back.
Jin Wu picked up a clay bowl with wine in it, drinking as he looked at Mu Yu, asking "When is the competition anyway?" Long Zi put the lid away and smiled slightly as Mu Yu scooped up fried rice into her mouth, covering her mouth with her hand as she replied, "I think 2 days?"
Jin Wu sighed and looked at Long Zi, "Why are we here so early? How nice would it be to arrive fashionably late? Not to mention this ghost place is so far away!" he clicked his tongue and leaned back, draining his clay bowl, resting his elbow on the back of the chair.
The man looked around before locking in on the trio's table, stomping over.
He came to the table and raised a fist, Jin Wu looked at him and blinked, "Um, hello?" The man smashed his fist on the table but Jin Wu flicked his finger, the man's fist swinging through the table without any damage.
The Man was stunned and Jin Wu ignored him, turning to Mu Yu, "What's wrong with people over here? Who smashes tables at restaurants?" Mu Yu leaned her chin on her palm, smiling happily, "Mental people."
Jin Wu shook his head and looked at the man, saying "Who are you?" The Man forgot about the strange event just now, saying angrily "I am Peng Zhang! You-" Jin Wu waved, "Yeah yeah. I don't know the immensity of the Heaven and Earth… Here, take this and leave." as he tossed out a sword to Peng Zhang, adding "Don't smash things at restaurants, that's bad for business."
Jin Wu turned to him and went on, "You know, if this owner goes out of business that's all your fault. This can bring economic collapse to the city as more and more people will be afraid to choose to open shops therefore devaluing your entire city all at once. When these people leave the city to go live somewhere else without you, what will you do? At that point, I think you'll have more problems than just being the Peng Clan dude, you'll be skinned alive by your city lord."
Everyone had their lips twitch and the man was dumbfounded as Jin Wu shook his finger, sighing "Take a step back, let's say they're too scared to leave. What happens when you bully one maniac? Then he'll brood in his hatred for a long time, do anything to get stronger for revenge. Then it won't just be your problem, but the problem of the whole city as you've created an animal that only knows revenge. At that time forget about the Peng clan, even the Red Cloud City itself won't be secure."
Jin Wu sighed and waved, "Now be gone." the man was dazed and Mu Yu laughed, covering her mouth. The Man was incensed and glared at Jin Wu slashing down with the sword in an instant.
Jin Wu frowned and caught the sword with his hand, looking at the man, "Did you just attack me with my gift?" The man sneered but found that he couldn't take out the sword.
Jin Wu stomped on the man's stomach, sending him across the restaurant, landing on the ground as the tables moved out of the way.
Jin Wu stood up, holding the sword by the blade as he trembled in anger, "This isn't a sword for cutting, you uneducated swine! You disgusting pea brained rat!" he walked over to the man and slapped him in the face, "Are you so incredibly dull that you thought I would give you a sword to cut me?"
The Man wa stunned and Jin Wu slapped him again, "Answer me!" The man opened his mouth but Jin Wu slapped him again, "Idiot! How could you possibly understand my genius?! You think this is a mere sword, you're so incredibly idiotic that I have trouble believing you wake up everyday still remembering how to breathe!"
Jin Wu threw him out of the restaurant onto the street and held the sword, sneering "Watch carefully, moron." everyone looked before their eyes widened in shock.
Jin Wu stepped on the sword and hovered off the ground by a meter. Jin Wu spread his hands and laughed, "Can you see it? This is the smartest genius in the world!" as he released his cultivation base of Foundation Building Stage 2.
Someone shouted in shock, "That Foundation Building kid is flying on a sword!" There was another shout "Is it the sword?!" They all glared at Jin Wu with green eyes as Jin Wu flew up, looking down as he said "Yes! It is the sword!"
He came back down and hovered off the ground by a foot, waving everyone over, "Come here everyone." they rushed over and surrounded Jin Wu, who cleared his throat, "Have you ever looked at the sky and wondered when you could leave the ground and conquer the heavens?!"
Everyone nodded with yearning!
Who didn't want to fly freely in the sky?!
Jin Wu held his hands up and smiled happily, "Well, my friends, your dreams will no longer be dreams! This is my newest creation 'Hover Sword'." He stepped off the sword and it floated up as Jin Wu went on, "This is the Lifestyle Model, perfect for leisure trips and genuine transportation."
He showed everyone the sword before taking out another sword with a stripe down the middle, "This is the Speedster Model. This model is designed for one thing and one thing only! Speed! The Speedster model is the fastest flying sword capable of soaring 300 mph from a stopped position!"
The Cultivators scratched their heads, not quite understanding.
Jin Wu coughed and said "This Sword can carry one person and fly faster than a flying Golden Core Demon Beast." everyone sucked in a cold breath of air, dumbfounded.
Jin Wu nodded in satisfaction as he pulled out the last sword, it was wider and thicker, "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the Family Model. This Hover Sword can change shape from its deactivated appearance, becoming a Hover Sword enough to comfortably fit 50 people at once. Of course, the speed is only slightly faster than a High Grade Sky Ship but slower than a Top Grade Sky Ship."
Everyone was amazed and Jin Wu raised a finger, "I must stress that these swords are not for combat. Despite what they look like, they don't actually have a sharpened edge." He brought the three swords around, letting people touch the blade.
They gasped, it's true!
Jin Wu nodded and smiled, "All these Hover Swords and more at the Golden Luxury Goods Shop in Golden Willow City! The Lifestyle Model is 5000 Spirit Stones, the Speedster Model is 10,000 Spirit Stones, while the Family Model is 100,000 Spirit Stones. However, if bought in batches of 100 or more, the price is decreased by 20%!"
Jin Wu took out 10 Lifestyle Models, throwing them into the crowd as he smiled, "These are the promotional Swords for distribution. Lifestyle models." 10 people caught the swords and smiled excitedly.
Jin Wu waved and smiled, "Don't fight, everyone, I have more. Also, it's all free!" He took out 10 Speedster swords, adding "For the Speedster Models, customization is also available! I have 10 different models here."
He spread out the Hover Swords, showing all the different colors and designs. There was even one that had a chubby piggy resting on the tip. Girls exploded and rushed out, "Brother! I want that Piggy!" Jin Wu was almost flooded by women when a middle aged man walked out, "Stop!"
Everyone froze and backed off, "City Lord!" Jin Wu froze as the Middle aged man walked out, smiling kindly at Jin Wu, "You may continue." Jin Wu let out a breath and handed out the Speedster Swords, giving a lucky lady the Piggy one.
She squealed happily and hugged the sword as the other girls glared at her.
Jin Wu handed the City Lord a Speedster sword with hot rod flame design, smiling "City Lord." The City lord stroked his beard, nodding with appreciation as he took the sword, looking at it curiously.
Jin Wu looked at everyone who was disappointed, smiling "You don't have to be disappointed everyone. These are just testing models, all sorts of customization is available. There are even collectible swords that sell for a limited time only, however they are only available in Golden Willow City for the time being."
A girl asked, "Can I get one with a sheep?" Jin Wu nodded and replied, "Even if you want a Phoenix on it, it's possible! Dragons, Bulls, special colors, logos, anything! Now, for the Family Models."
Jin Wu took out 5 Family Models, adding "I would like everyone to concede these to any Clans or Sects that are here as the value of the Family Model is in the quantity of passengers." he handed one to the City Lord, "Of course, one for the City Lord."
The City Lord was thrilled, good thing he came out today!
A young man walked out, saying "Brother, I'm a member of the Wu clan." the City Lord nodded and looked at the crowd, "Don't think you can fool me, everyone." several people stepped back and sighed as the Clans and Sects looked happy.
Jin Wu handed out the Family models to 2 clans and 2 sects before dusting his hands, smiling "That's all I have for Hover Swords, however, I would like to show you another product, everyone." Everyone looked over with excitement.
Jin Wu curled his lips and took out his phone, saying "This is the Jade Willow 1, a must have for any cultivator!" everyone looked at the strange device with confusion.
The City Lord glared at the phone, this is why he came out today!
Jin Wu took out another Box, handing it to the City Lord, "If the City Lord would like to help me demonstrate." The City Lord smiled, "No problem."
Jin Wu took out 10 more, handing them out randomly, saying "Listen Carefully. Each Jade Willow can only have one account, meaning that only one person can use it." he explained how to set it up as people watched, looking at the person who got one.
The person did as Jin Wu said as the people around them, scratched their heads.
Jin Wu held up his phone and smiled, "City Lord, if you'd please add me as a contact." The City Lord followed Jin Wu's instructions, adding him.
Jin Wu smiled, "Okay, everyone can see that the City Lord and me are contacts. This device can establish communications with anyone in the Range of the array tower. There is also an internet function with a market consisting of countless cultivators in our region."
He pressed on a button and the City Lord's phone started ringing.
Everyone looked over and the City Lord pressed a button before Jin Wu's voice came through, "City Lord, press the purple button." he did so and Jin Wu's voice was available for everyone to hear.
Jin Wu stepped on a Hover Sword, saying "The Distance covers our entire region, however in specific areas, communication may not be as successful. City Lord hold out your Jade Willow." as Jin Wu soared into the air.
Everyone looked up, but Jin Wu's voice was clear as day from the City Lord's phone, "So far, a few sects and cities near Golden Willow City are the only places that use the Jade Willow, however the range still encompasses our entire Region. Communication is instant and even able to transmit images. City Lord, please click on the Red button."
The City Lord clicked on the button and an image popped up for everyone to see.
Jin Wu was flying in the sky, smiling as he turned the phone around, showing Red Cloud City from above.
Everyone gasped.
Jin Wu turned the camera back, saying "The Jade Willow is relatively cheap at only 100 Spirit Stones, however different colors and designs are an extra 50 Spirit Stones. Please note that these colors and designs are purely for aesthetics and do not enhance the performance of the Device."
He flew around, showing the mountain ranges as well as travelers on the roads before flying back to Red Cloud City, landing back in the middle of the crowd. He canceled the call, smiling "As for the rest of the apps…"
He explained all the functions and let everyone play around before saying "As stated before, these goods are only available in Golden Willow City at the moment, once a more stable production chain is established, there will be branches in various cities across the region."
He held up a finger, smiling "If the price is a bit daunting, it's completely understandable. To counter this point and make the Device more accessible for everyone, payment can be substituted with ores, treasures, pills, Spirit Herbs, livestock, crops, etc. As long as it has value, it can be traded, however the less valuable the material, the more required. Please make a trip to Golden Willow City when you have time! Thank you all for your attention."
He took back the sword and walked away, humming to himself as everyone focused on the new things with excitement.
He slipped out and sat down in the restaurant as Mu Yu rolled her eyes, "Damn blood sucker!" Jin Wu smirked and scooped up a mouthful of fried rice, "Yummy~ Profits~" Long Zi chuckled and shook his head, eating and drinking as the trio continued talking about random things.
