Chapter 738 Eat and look ugly
Nearly half of the cultivators in the cultivation world have followed Jiang He's shop account, which specializes in selling spiritual food and is also the official account of the gambling profession.
They will usually send a notification when new products are released or reissued.
This time, the official account posted the menu, and the spiritual plants on it were all styles they had never seen before, and the prices were all extremely high.
This startled netizens who had just opened the StarNet.
Not all cultivators enjoy going online or watching the drama unfold.
Today, the number of viewers in Jiang He's live stream room once soared to 100 billion, breaking the highest record in the program's history.
Not to mention that Yan Xi was very polite to Jiang He, the rest of the team, especially the people who actually did the work, practically praised Jiang He to the skies.
The various sects bribed the top leaders, who were pleased and gave them more screen time in the live stream. However, this money only went to the top leaders; the people doing the work didn't receive any of it.
This time, Tao Ruzhi acted swiftly and decisively, sending the employee who was supposed to be imprisoned directly. The remaining employees were also at ease. They knew that the money sent by the sects had nothing to do with them, but the popularity and number of viewers of this live stream were real and could be counted as performance. Performance meant generous bonuses. Besides that, with this performance, they would have a project to boast about no matter which company they switched to in the future, so they were overjoyed.
With the presence of the Xiaoyao Sect on screen, advertisers kept pouring money in. During Yan Xi's time at Xiaoyao Sect alone, the program attracted ten major advertisers, along with more than two hundred other advertisers of all sizes.
The top ten advertisers who invested the most money could insert their ads into the live broadcast room, while the other advertisers appeared in inconspicuous corners, such as the multi-functional mustard seed pouch carried by the staff, or the magic hat worn by Yan Xi. In short, this program made a fortune.
It has long exceeded the amount of money those sects secretly stole.
Their performance as employees also improved accordingly.
However, among these 10 billion viewers, the majority are ordinary people, while the other half are cultivators.
Therefore, those who have watched this program may not know about "The Restaurant Where Sword Cultivators Risk Their Careers," while those who know about "The Restaurant Where Sword Cultivators Risk Their Careers" are mostly those who did not enter the live broadcast room.
Many cultivators are busy cultivating, and they only emerge from seclusion when they receive important messages.
For example, the new products launched in the store this time.
Jiang He's menu this time includes both high-grade and low-grade spiritual foods.
For example, the most common and almost always served spiritual food is the wolf tooth potato, while the others are entirely new spiritual foods.
Unlike previous spiritual foods, this time the majority of the newly launched spiritual foods are of superior quality.
There was a divine food that everyone looked at again and again, remaining in a state of disbelief.
"White rice - coins"
???
Is the boss crazy...?
The various academies and sects were all talking a lot today. Two or three cultivators gathered together, but they weren't discussing cultivation. Most of the time, they were talking about all sorts of dishes.
"No, he's gotten too arrogant. What gives him the right? 500 million star coins, that's just 500 spirit stones. Whether he can even afford it is another matter, but his asking price is just too outrageous."
"Yes, I really don't have the money to buy it now. I could afford it before because the price was low, but now I really can't afford it. If low-grade spiritual food is priced like this, it's really..."
This is outright robbery!
"Ugh, this is so annoying. I thought the gambling job wouldn't change, but it did."
"The original intention is gone. People change. With benefits to keep them going, how could they not change?"
"I'm just sad."
Seeing that the two cultivators were discussing something they had been paying attention to recently, many other cultivators joined in:
"Honestly, there are quite a few new dishes this time, and I can afford to buy them. It's just that I don't think it's worth it. Wouldn't it be better to use that money to upgrade my equipment or get my wife a new sword tassel? Wouldn't that be better?"
“That makes sense, that’s what I was thinking too. But I think it would be better to use that money to build relationships with those high-level alchemists and have them customize high-grade spiritual food.”
"I was thinking of supporting them again, but who knew the owner's appetite would grow so big? He dares to sell a bowl of white rice for five million! Isn't he afraid of bloating himself to death?"
[Huh? Five million for a bowl of white rice? That's disgusting!]
Shop owner, when you launch new products, don't forget about us regular customers!
The only pure land shop will cease to exist today.
StarNet, you need to do something about this. Almost all the new spirit foods you've released this time are priced below one million star coins. Is this how you control the prices?
Since most cultivators didn't watch the live stream, they didn't know that the shop owner was Jiang He, let alone that the new spiritual food was made from the revived spiritual plants shown in the live stream.
Many people came simply because others said so; they hadn't even looked at the details page of the spiritual food, but after hearing a few words from others, they came to the official account's post to express their sadness and doubt.
This group was the first to comment, and they followed the cultivators who were still unclear about the situation, posting a considerable number of comments in succession.
[Hey shopkeeper, come out here! What's this white rice made of? It only costs five million star coins, I'm starting to feel a bit disheartened.]
Is there any explanation? Why are so many people saying that the spiritual food sold by gambling professionals is expensive?
The store has launched a batch of new products.
Isn't this a good thing? What are you talking about?
New items have been released, but the prices have changed. Many spirit foods now start at one million star coins, which has disappointed many fans.
You'll see for yourself. I don't blame the shop owner, but sometimes I really hate that I'm not rich.
Are you guys crazy? All this sadness, I thought you were hiding from ghosts. Where did prices go up? The wolf-tooth potatoes are still the same price, 100,000 star coins. That's not a normal price. And the roasted sweet potatoes are still the same price.
...We didn't mention wolf-tooth potatoes and roasted sweet potatoes. Just look at the newly served white rice; the shopkeeper is selling it for 500 spirit stones. Is that a normal price?
It's normal. There's a reason why it's expensive. Are you real fans or fake fans? You questioned it right away. Why don't you go check out the product details page?
Of course I'm a true fan; I rush to buy every new item the store releases.
Oh, so you tried to grab it but failed, right? Send out the order details first.
But the shop owner is really dishonest this time, selling spiritual food at such a high price, it's practically a disaster.
I just came from the new product launch, and I'm a bit confused about this whole thing. Who was it that said the spiritual food was too expensive? I'm totally baffled. I just glanced at it, and this rice is made with top-grade spiritual plants. How can it be the same as spiritual food made with potatoes?
Still not right. Rice is some kind of top-grade spiritual plant? I've never heard of it.
It's normal not to have heard of it, but by now, cultivators specializing in agriculture and medicine should recognize it. I'm a medical cultivator, so I'm quite sensitive to these spiritual plants. Although I don't know why the shop owner's new menu includes snacks made from revived spiritual plant rice, I'm certain that if it's genuine, buying it for five million star coins would not only be a good deal but a huge profit.
[Reviving spiritual plants? Rice?]
