With a "whoosh," the shovel grazed the cheek of the player who was up to his old tricks, leaving a bloody mark on his face before embedding itself deeply into the wall behind him with a "bang!"
The shovel trembled slightly as it entered the wall.
"Ah!" the player screamed, instinctively recoiling backward and nearly collapsing to the ground.
The other two were also stunned by this sudden turn of events, their faces turning deathly pale, and their original intention to take advantage of the situation vanished instantly.
How strange! Why can't I use my skills and items in this shop? Not only that, but the shop owner can even attack me!
Given their current helpless state, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for the boss to kill them if he wanted to?
"What do you think this place is?" Yu Xiangnan said coldly, his voice not loud, but carrying a chilling and intimidating power.
"I...we..."
The three of them huddled together in fear, stammering and unable to speak.
The next second, they suddenly felt something behind them, a chill running down their spines. Trembling, they turned their heads and saw a hideous sea monster right next to them, almost touching their faces!
In an instant, fear engulfed them like a tidal wave, so terrifying that they couldn't even make a sound, only able to open their mouths in vain, their eyes wide open.
The three of them had just been scared half to death by the sea monster, and now they were completely obedient, only wanting to quickly buy the bubble balls with the starfish and escape from the shop.
They nervously pulled out their starfish, ready to make the trade, but Yu Xiangnan's lips curled into a sly smile, and he swiftly spun the price list that said "one starfish for one bubble ball."
The new price list clearly stated, "Two starfish can be exchanged for one bubble ball."
She raised her chin, her tone casual yet undeniable: "I've changed my mind. Now it's two starfish for one bubble ball."
The three of them stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock and disbelief. They looked at each other, their mouths agape, as if they could fit an egg inside.
This blatant price-changing behavior undoubtedly confirms that this store is a shady business!
This is a rip-off, a total rip-off!
But the current situation is truly like being caught between a rock and a hard place.
The sea monster still lurked nearby, ready to tear them to shreds if they disobeyed. Left with no other choice, they could only grit their teeth and reluctantly hand over more starfish to buy them.
The three of them felt a pang of regret, but ultimately spent 12 starfish to buy 6 bubble balls.
Unbeknownst to him, during the system check, this unreasonable price change resulted in 6 extra starfish. Yu Xiangnan was then able to use these 6 extra starfish to exchange for 6 bubble balls.
In this way, the extra 6 bubble balls she redeemed were essentially "earned" without her having to lift a finger, and the system would also count the 6 bubble balls she sold as part of her sales performance, making it a win-win situation.
......
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Upon closer reflection, her timing was actually perfect; just as a new natural disaster was about to strike, she could escape unscathed.
In just three days, at least sixty or seventy players came to the "Treasure Trove of Honesty Shop" and bought the life-saving item [Bubble Ball] in order to cope with the underwater crisis.
Thanks to these players' patronage, she successfully achieved a three-star rating. When she encountered dishonest players who wanted to play tricks, she would have a "friendly conversation" with them and, incidentally, raise the price.
Before long, she not only met her business targets, but also got more than 20 bubble balls for free.

[Checking the number of "Bubble Balls" sold by player Yu Xiangnan this time...]
[Test complete.]
Congratulations on achieving a three-star rating! You have been awarded 620 points based on the number of bubble balls sold. You can redeem them at the redemption area.
Yu Xiangnan clicked the confirm button and was transported to the redemption area.
The exchange area is a separate space with a pristine white floor that stretches endlessly in all directions, as far as the eye can see.
In the very center of the space stood a special metal machine.
Yu Xiangnan strode to the machine, raised his hand to turn it on, and instantly, the machine screen clearly displayed various redeemable items, item effects, and the points required.
【Blessing of the Sea God (Permanent Effect)】 = 200 points
[Advanced Experience Bottle * 10] = 30 Points
[HP/MP Recovery Card * 1] = 5 points
1000 Conquest Points = 15 Points
[Random 4-star item *1] = 50 points
......
Wait a minute, one high-level experience bottle is equivalent to 10,000 experience points, so one hundred high-level experience bottles would be... 1 million experience points!
Yu Xiangnan gasped.
She currently has 620 points, of which she will use 200 points to exchange for the permanent effect of the Sea God's Blessing. After that, she will have 420 points left.
The remaining points can be used to purchase 140 high-level experience bottles, which means she can get a full 1.4 million experience points, more than enough for her to reach level 72.
It's a pity that this time I used my VVVIP super privileges, and then there will be a cooling-off period. Who knows when it will be the next time this treasure trove of a conscientious little shop will be available.
After the exchange was completed, Yu Xiangnan was teleported back into the domain.
She quickly used up those advanced experience bottles.
[Notification]: Congratulations on reaching level 72!
The advanced areas are now unlocked; a whole new world awaits your exploration!
[Survival dungeons have been added to the dungeon list; the choice is yours!]
The election function is officially open. Please stay tuned for detailed rules and timings, and don't miss this battle for power!
The major competitions have reignited, with top players clashing in fierce battles!
[...More exciting things await your discovery!]
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Where did all these pop-up ads come from?
Yu Xiangnan opened each function and examined them one by one.
As of now, the unlocked areas cover districts 1 through 36 outside the jurisdiction, although districts 2, 5, 6, 9, and 18 are temporarily inaccessible for unknown reasons. Within the jurisdiction, there are three special high-level areas—the Moonlit Labyrinth, the Crimson Forest, and the Realm of Reversal.
I'm not qualified to venture into the Realm of Reversal yet. The entry requirements are extremely stringent: players must be level 80 or higher, and have accumulated a significant amount of Journey Points.
Level 80...
Yu Xiangnan pondered to himself.
Could this reversed realm be the special area that Bula mentioned, accessible only to players level 80 and above? Are Gongmo, the Gong family, and the eight reversed positions all located there?
