C2 Invincible Buff, Beginner Mission

Beneath the cola, the price was clearly marked: 10 spiritual crystals.

Upon seeing the price, Lo Chuan raised an eyebrow in surprise.

In the Heavenly Star Empire, the common folk typically dealt in copper, silver, and gold coins, with a conversion rate of ten to one.

Spiritual crystals, however, were the preferred currency among cultivators, brimming with vast amounts of energy. A single crystal could fetch ten gold coins.

Considering that one gold coin could sustain an average family for a month, the value of a spiritual crystal was quite significant.

"System, are you certain this isn't a pricing error?" Lo Chuan pondered before asking with earnest.

"This system's goods are of exceptional value and are never mispriced. As this is your first time questioning the system, I'll let it pass with just a warning," the system responded.

Lo Chuan: ...

As the system's voice dissipated, information about the cola downloaded directly into Lo Chuan's mind.

"Origin Cola, primarily crafted from Primordial Spirit Spring Water, can instantly heal non-fatal injuries upon consumption."

Reading the system's description, Lo Chuan's eyes went wide with astonishment.

The ability to instantly heal non-fatal injuries was akin to having an extra life!

It was as if, in the midst of a grueling battle, when both fighters were at their limits, one could simply pull out a bottle of Origin Cola and turn the tide.

Though Lo Chuan was unfamiliar with Primordial Spirit Spring Water, it certainly sounded impressive!

Maybe I should give it a try?

After a moment's thought, Lo Chuan grabbed a bottle of cola from the counter.

Twisting off the cap, a hiss escaped as bubbles fizzed up.

"It doesn't seem all that special," Lo Chuan frowned, talking to himself, "But I'll taste it first."

"The flavor is sweet, like Coke."

After taking a sip, Lo Chuan smacked his lips, offering his verdict.

"Why isn't there any effect?" He waited, but felt no different, prompting a puzzled frown.

"As a normal individual with no injuries, how could you detect any physical changes?" the system retorted, a hint of exasperation in its tone.

Lo Chuan: ...

"The host, as the shopkeeper, is entitled to use the shop's products free of charge," the system's voice chimed in once more.

Lo Chuan nodded to himself, recognizing these perks as the benefits provided by the system.

"Newbie Mission alert: Sell your first item. Time remaining: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes. Reward: One lottery draw opportunity."

Subsequently, a pale blue panel materialized before Lo Chuan.

[The Supreme Shopkeeper System.]

Host: Lo Chuan.

Rank: One-Star Shopkeeper.

Cultivation: None.

Revenue Share: 10%.

Newbie Mission underway...

Evaluation: A weakling's weakling. Host, you must urgently enhance your power!"

Lo Chuan, well-versed in numerous system-based novels, was no stranger to such interfaces.

However, what's with that last remark?

Are you stirring up trouble, System?

Lo Chuan, scrutinizing the panel, inquired, "System, as a mere mortal, shouldn't I have some means of self-defense? And what if someone starts trouble in the shop?"

The system clarified, "A security system has been integrated into the shop. Within a ten-kilometer radius, the host will be in an invincible state."

Invincible? That's quite the impressive buff! Lo Chuan felt thoroughly pleased.
