"Well, that's a real shame..."
After saying that, Yu Xiangnan made a move to leave.
The next second, her steps came to an abrupt halt.
At the same time, earth elements surged and gathered beneath her feet, and the stones seemed to come alive, lining up in an orderly fashion to charge towards the tools that Old Mo cherished.
Amidst a series of crashing sounds, the tools fell to the ground, leaving a mess.
Yu Xiangnan said casually, "But then I thought, since I've come all this way, why don't I stay here for a while and enjoy the pleasure of sketching? That would be wonderful..."
Old Mo was so anxious he jumped up and down: "Oh my darling! You crazy girl, stop right now!"
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind blew, making Old Mo's beard look like a tangled mess of grass.
Yu Xiangnan craned his neck and asked in confusion, "Old Mo, what did you say? The wind is too strong, I can't hear you?"
Old Mo was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
"What exactly do you want?!"
Yu Xiangnan said, "Once you agree to join, the wind will naturally stop!"
Old Mo was at his wit's end. He slumped to the ground, panting heavily, and said, "Fine, I give up. I'll go with you, okay? Just don't torment my precious baby anymore!"
Yu Xiangnan immediately put away all the elements, and ran over with a grin to help Old Mo up: "I knew you would agree, and the collection pavilion will definitely grow bigger and stronger in the future!"
If she hadn't been supporting him, Old Mo might have really passed out this time.
Forced melons are often very sweet.
With Mr. Mo's addition, the quality and efficiency of the treasure appraisal service at the collection pavilion indeed improved significantly. Yu Xiangnan also introduced a membership system and limited-time discount activities, coupled with auctions, and the shop's business flourished.
However, several competitors emerged along the way.
One is Sun Yougan, who runs the [Equipment Shop]; the other is the man who was bullied by Sun Yougan in the [Potion Shop], and the other is a woman who also runs a [Potion Shop].
Yu Xiangnan decided to take action.
Sun Yougan has a complicated relationship with the man who was previously bullied. Since Sun Yougan has been targeting that man, she chooses to turn her attention to another target—the woman who runs the [Pharmacy].
Unexpectedly, the woman went directly to her shop and challenged her to a duel.
Although they sold different products, they competed on sales volume, and Yu Xiangnan ultimately won and secured the contract.
This trial lasted for about a week.
Many shops went bankrupt and left the market in disappointment because they were unable to maintain their operations.
As time goes by, the customer base gradually decreases, and the regular daily customer traffic is increasingly attracted to shops with high ratings and good reputations. Therefore, those shops that were already poorly managed see their customer traffic dwindle further, and with the quality of their goods deteriorating, they will eventually be eliminated.
On the eighth day of the trial, Sun Yougan, who was ranked second, finally couldn't hold on any longer and declared bankruptcy.
At this point, only Yu Xiangnan's store remained.
Strangely, the system did not immediately assess whether her resource score met the standards for a reversed candidate, but instead teleported her to a completely new and unknown place.
This place appears to be a magnificent palace.
The towering dome is studded with dazzling stars, as if it encompasses the entire night sky.
In the center of the hall, an elderly man in a white robe slowly stepped out.
“Yu Xiangnan…” The old man in white robes spoke loudly and clearly, “With extraordinary courage and wisdom, you have passed the trials of the reversed card. Today, I hereby formally confer upon you the title of ‘Reversed Candidate’.”
As he finished speaking, a deep and solemn horn sounded in the hall, symbolizing the birth of a new power.
The old man in white robes took out a badge that shone with a ghostly blue light from his sleeve. The badge was engraved with complex symbols.
"This is a reversed badge. It is not only a symbol of your honor, but also a guide for your future path." The old man in white robes solemnly handed the badge to Yu Xiangnan, and then took a thick book from the attendant. "This book, 'The Reversed Secret Manual,' will be an important resource for your future studies and cultivation. I hope you can continue to bring more glory with your outstanding performance."
Yu Xiangnan took the badge and the secret manual, and was about to speak when the scene before her suddenly changed. In an instant, she found herself in the center of the square in the commercial street.
Upon learning of the emergence of a new reversed candidate, the Eight Reversed Cards might take action. She decided to remain hidden for now, and only after ascertaining the specific situation would she take the initiative to seize control.
Thinking this, Yu Xiangnan slipped away so quickly that the players who were waiting in the central square didn't even see her clearly before she had completely disappeared.
Back at the hotel, Jenny and Muyue had already returned with the news.
Yu Xiangnan listened intently to the news brought back by Jenny and Mu Yue, quickly sorting through the known clues in his mind.
She sat in a chair in the hotel room, her fingers lightly tapping the table, her thoughts surging like a tide.
First, there are the reversed candidates.
As a candidate for the reversed position, you can purchase an exclusive territory in the Realm of Reversal. This territory is different from the one purchased on Earth. First, players can use skill items after entering, but they need the lord's permission to enter.
Not only can territories be customized, but they can also periodically generate a certain number of "Conquest Points," the exact amount depending on the territory's level and construction progress.
Similarly, reversed candidates have priority in the matchmaking system, enabling them to enter higher-level dungeons or various events more quickly, including their own shops.
Candidates can also enjoy dedicated customer service to quickly resolve in-game issues or feedback, and so on... but not limited to these things.
The identity of a reversed candidate symbolizes supreme power in the reversed state, which explains why countless players flock to it and even go to great lengths to compete for this qualification.
Even if you can't make it into the top eight reversed positions, just being a candidate for a reversed position is enough to secure a place in the realm of reversed positions.
Furthermore, the eight reversed positions may already be aware of the emergence of new reversed candidates, and they may take action, either to win them over or to oppose them. Each of the eight reversed positions possesses different power and resources, and their movements will directly influence the next course of action.
Temporarily conceal your identity as a reversed candidate to avoid attracting the attention of the eight reversed cardinal signs too early.
And then there's the part about Blue Star and the Ruins Star...
