Feng Yuanning: “…”
She was powerless to refute Song Yuluan's speculation.
She found that no matter what she said or did, it only triggered further speculation.
Especially Song Yuluan, a real master of imagination, who can always find a reasonable explanation for any of her actions, and even figure out her background and intention of opening a store.
Since you have such a good imagination, why don't you write a novel?
And as the time-honored saying from Voltaire goes: "In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."
Under the influence of people like Song Yuluan and Bai Haoge, the guests who came after them unconsciously formed preconceived ideas. Once the tone was set by the guests, it was difficult for them to break out of the fixed mindset and they would only make further assumptions based on this.
Feng Yuanning coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Do you want to read a book?"
The guests couldn't wait to respond:
"want."
"Of course."
“Are these books free?”
"Why can't I touch these books?"
Someone who was eager to read a book reached out to take it, but found that there was a transparent barrier in front of the bookshelf and he could not touch the books on the shelf no matter what.
Feng Yuanning suddenly remembered that he was in a hurry to come in to pick up the book and had not had time to change the price, so he quickly reopened the system interface.
The original price was 1 wen per hour, which was too cheap to describe. After careful consideration, she adjusted it to 5 wen per hour, which cost 120 wen a day (roughly equivalent to one qian of silver).
This kind of shopping, which involves gambling, is just like buying lottery tickets casually. The price does not need to be set too high. The larger the base attracted, the better.
After Feng Yuanning finished adjusting the price, he continued, "It's 5 wen per hour. You need a library card to read books, and you have to pay for it. The fee will be automatically deducted when you read books. You can only borrow one set of books at a time, and the maximum loan period is one month. If you don't want to read anymore, you can return it early at any time. When you return the book, just put it back on the shelf."
Alas, as a competent hotel owner, although she was eager to read books and master the skills, she could not leave the guests alone.
"Shopkeeper, I need a library card."
"I want to do it too."
Feng Yuanning said, "Okay, come one by one and line up. Everyone, please note that there are some precautions written on the library card. Once you apply for a library card, it is equivalent to tacitly agreeing to these requirements."
"First, a library card is for personal use only, and you can apply for a replacement if you lose it.
Second, the borrowed books can only be read by the borrower himself.
Third, the techniques obtained from the book cannot be taught to anyone else.
Fourth, it is forbidden to use the skills learned from the book to bully the weak or do evil to harm others. Reasonable self-defense does not count as bullying.
After you get your library card, you can read the notes carefully. For these four rules, there are more detailed regulations for different situations. "
It was so detailed that it was comparable to the various overbearing contracts in her original world, with complex and strict wording. She only glanced at it and did not read it carefully. It was too long and she was too lazy to read it.
Guests who wanted to apply for library cards immediately lined up obediently, and no one raised any objections to these four regulations.
While Feng Yuanning was processing library cards for customers, he suddenly remembered something crucial and asked the system, "System, in a world with such backward civilization, the literacy rate must be very low, right? Not everyone can understand books, right? So, wouldn't only a small number of people come to borrow books?"
The system replied: "Please rest assured, host. The text in the book is a kind of Tao text derived from the Great Dao. Even if you have not learned any characters, you can still understand this kind of Tao text."
Feng Yuanning was immediately relieved and said to the other customers, "It doesn't matter if you can't read. You can still understand the books in my shop."
As for whether you can master the skills in the book, it depends on your luck.
You may not become stronger even if you spend money. This will be a carnival for the European emperors, and the non-Europeans will only leave in tears.
The guests who were originally hesitating and waiting immediately joined the queue when they heard this. No one doubted her bizarre statement.
In the minds of these old customers, no matter how magical the things the store owner takes out are, these old customers will not be surprised.
While Feng Yuanning was processing library cards through the reading room management system, he also took precautionary measures to lower the guests' expectations. "Don't have too high expectations. There's only a certain chance of mastering the techniques in the book, but it doesn't guarantee that you'll actually master them. Please focus on the quality of the novel itself. If you can't master the techniques in the book, you might as well learn to cut your losses."
"Shopkeeper, don't worry. If he can't learn it in one day, what about ten days, or even a month? If he can't learn the skills in the book even after several months, then he'll probably be so unlucky that he'll choke on his food or water, right?"
"That's right. People like this should know themselves. It's their own fault if they can't learn the skills."
Feng Yuanning: “…”
No, you're still too naive. Have you ever seen a gamer who fails to enhance their skills 80% of the time? But they don't necessarily choke when eating or drinking.
Song Yuluan suddenly began to think about something, and she began to talk again, setting the pace. "The idea of relying on luck is a good one. How can a good technique be easily acquired? Shopkeeper, you deliberately raised the threshold for obtaining the technique, but did not set the price too high. This is to allow everyone the opportunity to benefit, but not to make it so easy that they don't cherish it, right? I understand your painstaking efforts, and I hope everyone can understand your efforts as well."
Ke Bingling nodded and looked around at everyone with a warning look: "Miss Song is right. The shop owner is giving everyone the opportunity to make a big profit out of a small profit. If anyone has not been able to master the skills in the book and speaks ill of the shop owner behind his back, don't blame me for being rude. Although the shop owner is magnanimous and compassionate, he is not someone you villains can slander. Anyone who dares to slander the shop owner will have a hard time with me!"
Bai Haoge said, "That's quite right. The shop owner could have sold these books at a high price, and naturally many people would have been willing to pay a high price. However, she gave up the huge profits and only offered them to everyone at a low price. You can imagine her painstaking efforts. But the Dharma should not be passed on lightly, so how could anyone easily obtain it? That's why the shop owner has established such a restriction. What a brilliant idea! Only the shop owner could come up with such a brilliant restriction."
Feng Yuanning: “…”
No, this is clearly a pricing strategy used by unscrupulous game manufacturers to force players to spend money. Where is the conscience in this pricing strategy that has been criticized by players in her original world?
Besides, she couldn't take the blame. This must have been a crappy system copied directly from her original world.
There's not even the most basic subsistence allowance, so charging money doesn't necessarily mean you'll become stronger, haha.
When you experience the fear of being controlled by fate, see if you will still curse it.
