Divine Convenience Store Chapter 359: Viewing Jade Updates and Potential Future

Lin Mo made his way past the bustling queues and headed towards a more spacious area of the store, leaving the bustle at the counter and the chatter behind.

He first checked the multipurpose hall. A few minor sects who just managed to buy their first copies of the Celestial Duel Gear were renting the space. Since the stage with the divine-grade formation could be configured, they asked to split it into smaller stages, the Sect Elders responsible for it divided it to be used in multiple purposes. On one stage, Elders and disciples alike are playing the casual mode of the ga, familiarizing themselves with the rules while also enjoying its novelty. On another stage, those who bought the Celestial Duelist activation were practicing how to plan their summons efficiently in order to bring higher-star units. anwhile, the remaining stages were engaged in friendly duels, with and without the use of Celestial Duel Gear.

Despite not being from prominent sects, they still drew a crowd. And with a gathered audience like that, a betting stall naturally ford.

The rental fees and the store's cut from the bets were a nice, steady stream of inco, but more importantly, it was solidifying the store as a central hub for the cultivation community.

After making sure that everything was running well, he ascended the now-familiar grand staircase to the second floor.

A few Golden Patrons were browsing the exclusive goods, while others, like Chu Yueying, were still deeply imrsed in their sessions in the Premium Cultivation and Training Rooms. He could see from the terminal that she had extended her session twice more.

She must be close to a breakthrough, he mused.

He also received Yu Qingyan's ssage about the Secret Realm she discovered. And recalling the fortuitous encounter that she was supposed to encounter upon leaving the Eastern Abyssal Domain, it finally manifested in that form. Due to that, he told her to take her ti exploring it.

There could be dangers, sure, but Yu Qingyan had a full arsenal of store goods in her possession. She'd be fine. She might even return stronger than ever, but more importantly, with all of her store goods sold at Northern Arctic Dominion.

As he was about to check on the normal training rooms downstairs, the Divine System Interface chid with its familiar tone. A direct notification that he had received a reply from the Divine Pantheon.

He headed to the lounge area, next to the custors enjoying their als and snacks while fiddling with their Viewing Jades.

[Subject: Starshot Revolver, System Updates & The Divine Lecture]

[Shopkeeper Lin Mo,

Your recent performance and strategic decisions have been noted with great approval.

The data acquired from your use of the Revolver allowed us to understand its fundantal

The Celestial Shuttle Network is a resounding success, and your handling of both the Liu Clan and the Violethaven Temple situation was exemplary. In response to your suggestions and the realm's evolving needs, we are implenting the following updates:

Viewing Jade - Wallet and Bulletin Board Attachnts Update: A 'Dinsion Balance' feature has been integrated into the Viewing Jade interface. All patrons can now track their DE earnings from Towers and Anchors and use them as a direct currency within the store and its network. This should streamline transactions significantly. The Viewing Jade has also been granted the ability to take an image or record a scene that can be attached to a thread post. Note: Only image attachnts are available for comnts.

The Divine Lecture: The date is set. In three days, Xingxing, the Goddess of Beauty and Refinent, as well as Danzhu, the Sage of Alchemy and Elixirs, will descend via divine incarnation to conduct the lecture. The general topic for the two divine beings will be 'Harnessing Foreign Energies & The Path Towards Immortal Ascension' along with their own specialized lecture related to their expertise. The general lecture will be held within the [Divine Arena & Exhibition Hall]. The specialized lecture, on the other hand, will be held in personalized lecture halls on the newly added second floor of the store.

Admission will be managed through a tiered ticketing system, which you are to configure. The default tiers are as follows"

- Divine Patron Tier (Free): Reserved for you, your staff, and key allies you invite at your own discretion (Limit: 20 seats).

- Golden Patron Tier (Premium Seats): 100 high-grade spirit stones or 10,000 DE.

- General Admission Tier (Standard Seats): 10 high-grade spirit stones or 1000 DE.

- Divine Patron Tier (Free): The sa as above.

- Golden Patron Tier (Premium Seats): 500 high-grade spirit stones or 50,000 DE.

- General Admission Tier (Standard Seats): 50 high-grade spirit stones or 5000 DE.

Note: Given the high demand, we anticipate this will be a significant event. Prepare for a full house. All proceeds will be converted to Dinsion Essence for the store's reserves.

Regarding the new branch. We understand the urgency. An opportunity will present itself soon. Be observant. A suitable candidate for the Branch Manager will eventually show up. They will possess not just strength, but resilience, adaptability, and an innate understanding of 'convenience'.

Your progress is comndable. I look forward to visiting you again, Shopkeeper.]

Lin Mo read through the ssage, his lips curving into a smile. Lihua was always so efficient and direct.

The Wallet Update was a needed feature. It now formalized Dinsion Essence as a realm-wide currency. The Attachnts Update was also sothing that would make Tower Climbing and Scouting more efficient. The power of information that could be freely exchanged within the Bulletin Board would significantly increase.

And the Divine Lecture… the topic was perfectly tid. With the Anchors and Towers becoming more prevalent, cultivators were desperate for knowledge on how to handle foreign energies as well as a way to grow stronger. The 'Path Towards Immortal Ascension' would be an irresistible lure for the Ancestors and Patriarchs. The ticket prices were a little steep even for General Admission, but for a chance to hear a divine being speak on such matters, sects would gladly pay.

"Three days…" Lin Mo murmured. So, should he travel to the Southern Wilderness first and finalize the branch location, or wait until everything lined up was over?

He reread Lihua's final words. "An opportunity will present itself soon. Be observant."

That settled it. Rushing off to the Southern Wilderness now, even with the shuttle network, would be hasty. The Pantheon was telling him to stay put and watch for a while.

With a newfound sense of purpose, he accessed the store's system interface and began preparations.

First, he drafted an official announcent for the Bulletin Board, its title bold and attention-grabbing: [Official Announcent: The Divine Lecture on Ascension & Foreign Energies! Tickets on Sale Soon!] The post imdiately ignited a firestorm of comnts, burying even the news of the shuttle network.

Next, he configured the ticketing system in the Event Managent module, setting up the tiers as Lihua had outlined. For the twenty coveted Divine Patron invitations, he began compiling a ntal list: The Liu Family, Jiang Jianxin's sect, the Verdant Sky Pavilion, the loyal sect masters of Azure Gale and Crimson Vale, the Southern Wu Kingdom… Each invitation would be a political tool, a way to solidify their patronage.

With the preparations for the lecture underway, he took a mont to browse the bustling Bulletin Board. The main page was a chaotic sea of excitent about the lecture, but Lin Mo's eyes were trained to spot the unusual.

Tucked away between threads boasting about shuttle ride speeds and speculation on the new tower's treasures, a small, unassuming post caught his attention.

The title was simple: [Bartering Hub - Sunstone Village - Seeking Spirit-Infused Seeds - SunnyDay]

Intrigued, he clicked on it. The post wasn't a request for powerful artifacts or rare manuals. Instead, it was from a user nad 'SunnyDay', the leader of a small, remote village on the very edge of the Southern Wilderness, just beyond the reach of any major sect.

The post detailed their plight: their village was constantly besieged by low-level spirit beasts driven from deeper territories by the realm's instability. They couldn't afford to travel to Fanling City and visit the Divine Convenience Store but they had managed to acquire a Viewing Jade from a traveling rchant.

Inspired by the 'convenience for all' ethos they read about, they had started their own grassroots version of the store.

They had set up a 'Community Hub' where villagers bartered rare sun-ward ores and resilient herbs for food and basic protection. The post was a humble attempt to trade their unique local resources for [Spirit-Infused Seeds] from the store, hoping to grow their own self-sustaining source of spiritual energy-containing produce. The poster spoke not to gain profit but for their community, their resilience, and their desperate hope for a better life.

Lin Mo put a hand under his chin as a thoughtful expression ford on his face. Resilience, adaptability, and an innate understanding of 'convenience'.
