The Goddess's Palace.
"Ding! Opening a new store in the capital city will reward you with 1 million yuan, a high-level store manager card issued by the system, a protective shield, and a top-grade marrow cleansing pill." System Xiao Liu prompted.
Upon hearing the mission notification, Wang Simeng's lips curled into a slight smile. "Xiao Liu, I've been consistently completing missions until the mall opens. Do you think it's possible for the system to level up twice by then?"
"Of course it's possible! As long as you complete more tasks before the mall is completed, it's very likely. The reward for leveling up twice will be the same as before, which would be even more appropriate. Keep it up, host! Reaching the pinnacle of life is just around the corner!" System Xiao Liu said excitedly.
“Okay! I have another idea in mind,” Wang Simeng continued.
"Oh? What are your thoughts?"
Wang Simeng looked into the distance, her eyes unusually bright, and tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of her chair as she spoke.
"I want to open many shops. I want to establish a cultivation sect in this mortal world."
"Huh? Host, are you sure? As long as you keep doing missions and opening shops, you'll be able to go to other worlds sooner or later. Going to the cultivation world is no problem at all! Are you planning to bring your sect with you?" System Xiao Liu asked, puzzled.
"My status is different now. Before, I was just a person. Now I am the goddess of Qi Cang Kingdom, and the regent of Qi Cang Kingdom is my boyfriend. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be my husband in the future."
"No matter what my motivation is, I want to give it a try. Maybe it really can change the world and give many people a better way out. And I think this should be a good thing, and it can also be considered as accumulating merit for myself!" Wang Simeng smiled.
System Xiao Liu was silent for a moment before saying, "That's right. If you can help lower-level continents level up, the merit will be immeasurable, and the Heavenly Dao will give you many surprises."
The higher the merit points, the better. Many systems were vying for your services because of your high merit points. Especially for a cultivator like you, merit points are even more important; they'll even lessen the ascension tribulation compared to others. However, reviving spiritual energy is truly difficult! Are you really sure you want to do this?
"Difficult? I, Wang Simeng, am not afraid at all. In fact, I have an idea in mind now. Let's just do it." After saying that, she burst out laughing.
Since Wang Simeng and Mo Beichen became neighbors, they have been spending more time together.
Inside the villa.
After the two finished their cultivation, Wang Simeng told Mo Beichen her thoughts. "Achen, what do you think?"
"Very good!" Mo Beichen's eyes were filled with deep affection. He then added, "I'll be with Meng'er."
"Um!"
Wang Simeng selected a 1200-square-meter shop in the central area of Beijing from the shop deed. The shop had three floors, each with 400 square meters, and a 100-square-meter courtyard at the back.
The next morning, carrying Xiaobai, she arrived at the shop. This shop used to be a brothel; the first floor was where performances were held. The second and third floors were all private rooms, which suited Wang Simeng's taste perfectly.
This brothel is a perfect place to turn into a movie theater!
After looking around, Wang Simeng closed the shop door and began to study the movie theater model carefully.
Because Beijing has a large number of wealthy and influential people, Wang Simeng designed the cinema in two modes: an affordable mass-market model and a high-end private model.
Upon entering on the first floor, you'll find a lobby. To the left of the entrance, further ahead, are the ticket counter and snack area. To the right are the waiting area and public restrooms. There's only one 300-square-meter theater on the first floor, capable of seating 400 people.
The second and third floors each accommodate up to 20 people, with 10 private rooms. The seats are adjustable; several seats can be unfolded to create a sofa for several people.
After designing the renovation model, Wang Simeng purchased all the necessary renovation materials and projection equipment online. She then took Xiaobai back to the Goddess's Mansion.
Mo Beichen took care of everything from making the signboard to recruiting employees.
Wang Simeng was also happy to be able to relax.
Two days later.
"Ding! Opening a new shop in the capital has been completed. Remember to check your reward!" System Xiao Liu reminded you with a smile.
"Haha, Ah Chen's progress is pretty fast! Looks like we can open for business tomorrow."
After Wang Simeng finished speaking, she checked the task rewards and muttered, "I've already collected 3 top-grade Marrow Cleansing Pills, great. Finally, a new manager has arrived."
Holding the advanced shopkeeper character card produced by the system in his hand, he mentally said "activate".
The card vanished quickly. Standing before him was a 28-year-old man, refined and gentle in white. His name was Qingfeng.
Wang Simeng handed over the management of the Jingcheng Wonder Cinema to Qingfeng, letting him set the price according to market conditions, and also activated the protective shield for him.
Mo Beichen also handed over the cinema staff he had found to Qingfeng.
Now that she has connections, things are easier, and Wang Simeng doesn't plan to do everything herself. She's prepared and had everything delivered to the cinema, ready to check on things herself on opening day.
The opening time is set for 9:00 AM the following day.
“Ah Chen, should we invite the Emperor and Empress to watch a movie together? I remember you saying that the Empress loves writing novels, so she probably likes watching movies too. The princes and princesses can also come along; it'll be just the right size to accommodate them,” Wang Simeng said with a smile.
"Great! I'll go talk to my brother later. He's been hoping that Meng'er can open a movie theater for a long time." Mo Beichen smiled indulgently.
"Yes, I reserved a private room for the Emperor and Empress on the third floor. I also reserved a room for the two of us."
...
The Imperial Palace. Fengyi Palace.
"Seele! Seele! Haha!"
The Empress was at her desk pondering the outline for a new sketchbook when she heard Emperor Yongshun's booming voice from outside. She sighed and reluctantly put down her pen.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" The Empress stood up and walked towards Emperor Yongshun with a sweet smile on her face.
"Hehe, I missed you, so I came!" Emperor Yongshun reached out and embraced the Empress. "I have some good news to tell Xi'er."
Emperor Yongshun's tone was tinged with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the Empress raised her head, her eyes filled with anticipation. "What good news is it?"
"Haha!" Emperor Yongshun laughed heartily.
"Oh dear! Tell me quickly!" the Empress urged, her face showing great interest.
"Alright, I'll tell you. Seele! There's going to be a movie theater in the capital. It opens tomorrow! The Goddess has reserved a private box for us, let's go together tomorrow!" Emperor Yongshun said with a smile.
The Empress was taken aback for a moment, then her face lit up with a smile. "Really? The kind of movie theater Mingxuan mentioned before? The one that's shown in picture books?"
Emperor Yongshun nodded, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Yes! It's that kind of movie theater!"
"Haha! That's wonderful! I've always been so curious about movie theaters," the Queen exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing the Empress happy, Emperor Yongshun felt pleased as well. "Yes, I'm curious too. Let's go together tomorrow!"
