The transaction was completed, and the creature fled as if it were afraid the other party would go back on their word.
Kunpeng, who had just acquired the right to operate the shop, stood in the store looking completely bewildered. The moment the deal was completed, he felt a strange will descend upon him, and some information about the shop appeared in his mind.
The shop's rules were indeed as he had initially guessed: everyone who entered the shop had to make a transaction, but whether that transaction was buying or selling was uncertain.
Once one party presents an item, the other party must present an item of equal value in exchange. There are a series of rules and restrictions in place to ensure the relative fairness of the transaction and to prevent the other party from maliciously refusing to participate in the transaction after presenting an item of equal value.
Once the transaction is completed, one party can safely leave the shop. However, if they cannot produce the corresponding item in exchange, they must hand over their life to the other party. In this situation, most people would not survive.
After entering, Kunpeng chose to sell items instead of buying them. As the shopkeeper, he could have chosen to accept or refuse. If he refused, he would have to choose an item to buy. However, the shopkeeper seemed very confident in his own items and was willing to buy them, provided that Kunpeng's items were better than his.
To everyone's surprise, Kunpeng's items were not only better than his, but so good that his shop had no equivalent items to trade with them. Even the medicines that could affect seventh-tier units, even if they were only for special purposes, were far superior to the fourth-tier and lower-tier potions in his shop.
Therefore, the creature began to worry that it might be eliminated. Fortunately, Kunpeng proposed to trade the right to operate the shop. The creature, which thought it was going to die, found that it still had a chance to live and immediately agreed. Then it fled like the wind, which was something Kunpeng did not expect.
"So? I just bought property on the floating island like this?" Kunpeng looked at the eerie and strange shop with a bewildered expression, shook his head helplessly, and walked outside.
After he became the shop manager, it seemed that the restrictions imposed on him by the wooden house were lifted. He pushed open the door of the wooden house without any hindrance, and the vast and boundless starry sky reappeared in front of him.
"Ye Zhen?" Kunpeng looked up at the sky and was stunned. He saw a graceful figure hovering in the sky, seemingly waiting for everyone to appear. He did not expect that someone would come out faster than him.
"I just saw a strange creature escape, I didn't expect it to be you? What did you encounter in there?" Ye Zhen was also stunned, she didn't expect the second one to come out to be this cowardly Kunpeng.
"Hmm! A pharmacy wanted to buy some of my 'powerful pills,' but they didn't have enough money, so they mortgaged their shop to me!" Kunpeng said, pursing his lips.
"A super-powerful pill?" Ye Zhen raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly. "Tell me more about it?"
After a conversation, Ye Zhen was disgusted that Kunpeng had used the Power Pill to fool the monster, but it was indeed unexpected that it would work. At the same time, Kunpeng also learned what Ye Zhen had experienced in the wooden house.
Unlike the pharmacy where he worked, Ye Zhen went to a butcher shop, but she wasn't there to buy meat; she was there to sell meat.
She needs to sell all the meat in the butcher's shop within a specified time. On this desolate floating island, the difficulty of this task is unimaginable. Anyone else would probably be eliminated by the rules.
Ye Zhen, however, took a different approach. By using her charm and her ability to manipulate beasts, she persuaded the butcher to buy the meat in just a few words, thus completing her mission in an instant and gaining control of the shop and a butcher slave.
After hearing Ye Zhen's story, Kunpeng could hardly believe it. This guy spent money to buy his own stuff, and then he sold himself and his shop?
He silently moved a few steps away from the other person, silently listing her as the most dangerous person in his heart. Kunpeng was really afraid that one day this beautiful rabbit would sell him out, and he would still be helping her count the money!
"Hey! What's wrong with your eyes? Are you looking for death?" Seeing the other person's actions, Ye Zhen naturally understood what he was thinking and immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded him.
"No! No! It's nothing. It's not about the difference between men and women. It's better to stand further away!" Kunpeng tried his best to explain.
"Hmph!" Ye Zhen was about to say something when another wooden door opened. The two looked down and saw that it was the human with the lowest strength.
"Xuan Du? How are you? Are you alright?" Kunpeng immediately flew down and asked Xuan Du with concern.
"It's alright, it's just tutoring the kids, not too difficult!" Xuan Du replied, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Unlike the shops that Kunpeng and Ye Zhen experienced, Xuandu entered a two-bedroom house where a female ghost and a little ghost lived. He was a tutor and was responsible for helping the little ghost with his studies.
Since there were no books available, Xuandu had to teach according to his own ideas, and what he taught was the Analects that he had read in the library.
"What is the Analects? It's about raising your arms and hitting someone!"
"What does it mean to teach without discrimination? It means that when I teach you how to be a person, I don't care who you are. If I say you are a person, then you are a person, and you have to learn the rules of being a person!"
"The saying 'A gentleman is not a vessel' means that a true warrior disdains killing his opponent with weapons!"
"As for the instigator, is he without descendants? It's because the instigator of this matter has already been beaten so badly that he has no descendants!"
"..."
"Actually, after this lesson, the kid is quite talented. He studies very seriously and diligently, and his mother is very satisfied. However, teaching knowledge is a long process, so it takes a lot of time."
"It's a pity that the kid and his mother seem to have limited learning capacity and can't absorb a lot of knowledge in a short time, so I had to come back early and go again next time! It's really a regrettable thing!"
After hearing what Xuandu said, Kunpeng and Ye Zhen looked at each other in bewilderment, silently mourning for the mother and son. They never expected that this human would be such a cunning person. What "Analects"? They had also read it in the Scripture Pavilion. Was this how it was interpreted?
But upon closer reflection, this explanation doesn't seem to make any mistakes! At least it allows for demonstration and instruction, enabling Xuandu to unleash his full potential according to the explanation he provides. This can be considered a way of adapting to the rules.
When a sixth-tier expert enters the cabin, if he can fully utilize his strength, he is more than capable of killing the monster inside!
