Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World

Chapter 28 – Florida Man Invests 1,000 Years in Simulation Game

Leo widely grinned. He had no idea what Han Hao was talking about.

'What supply? What sect? I just want to sell my things and earn more lifespans. Did Wu Buyi spread a silly rumor?'

He had enough of the misunderstandings and miscommunication, Leo directly asked Han Hao, "What supply?"

"Oh?" Han Hao was surprised. He thought that Leo had a deal with Wu Buyi, "Didn't you agree that you would supply us pills so that we wouldn't have to rely on the mystic realms?"

"Oh, that?" Leo remembered the deal. He stroked his smooth silky beard, "You mean, I will make more pills like the ones on that table, and you will send your disciples to purchase my pills, using their lifespan. Is that what you mean?"

Han Hao raised his brow. Once again, Wu Buyi didn't clarify this agreement, so he didn't know about the detail. It seemed that Wu Buyi only agreed that he would send his disciples here to buy rare pills from Leo.

"Well, it's the same. We hope that you will prioritize the Life Sword Sect's disciples over other customers."

Leo never hated customers. He readily accepted, "No problem. I'll save the pills for your disciples."

"Thank you for your cooperation. Also, I will take this."

Han Hao grabbed a bottle of rejuvenate tea. Leo quickly took 200 years of Han Hao's lifespan right away.

"One more thing," Han Hao coughed as he never forgot about his primary objective here. "Would you like to join us on this season's mystic realm expedition?"

Leo sighed and shook his head. He had his reason not to participate in the event, "I don't know if I should go. I don't think I have much to gain there."

"Are you sure? Nobody has captured any mystic realm yet. Someone of your status should be able to do it. Legends said that the person who managed to dominate a mystic realm would become a mystic realm overlord, and he would monopolize all the herbs, treasures, and artifacts in there."

Han Hao was not convinced that Leo was not interested. He baited the white-haired old man with glory and profits. However, he could not read Leo's mind.

Meanwhile, Leo inwardly grumbled.

'It's not like I don't want to go. I want to go out and play, too. I want to go on a field trip and socialize with REAL PEOPLE for once! But how am I going to enjoy a trip if I don't understand a goddamn word that comes out of your mouth, mister!? I don't speak Chinese, dammit! If I go there, I'll BINGQILIN all day, and my image will be ruined!'

Because of the dilemma, Leo insisted that he could not go. Otherwise, he would embarrass himself.

"I'm sorry. I don't think it's a good idea to give someone else's ticket to me. If someone works hard to earn his spot, you should give it to him, not an outsider."

Han Hao and the deacons' eyes glittered as they gazed at Leo in admiration. Everybody cupped their fists, "Such consideration and honor are rare these days. We're ashamed that we're blinded by greed. We shall give the seat to the disciple that earns it."

Leo was secretly relieved. For now, he avoided a troublesome scenario. He felt like he was an introvert, whose brothers never stopped inviting him to a nightclub.

Han Hao and others bid farewell. They left through the front door and flew back to their sect.

After everybody was sent off, Leo returned to his store. He closed the door and locked it.

"Finally, peace at last."

Sometimes, Leo was confused about his true desire. Half of him yearned for civilization and people, but the other half sought solitude. He wondered why.

Exhausted from the long night's work and the meeting, Leo collapsed on his bed and was fast asleep.

.

1 PM, Leo woke up, refreshed. He sat up and yawned. Then, he walked outside the storeroom, which he had chosen as his temporary bedroom.

Upon walking to the store, Leo flinched as the massive shadow blocked the sunlight from the front windows. In front of the showcase glass windows, Cat sat there, staring into the store with its new menacing eyes. It used its thorns to scratch the windows.

"MEOW!"
It was hungry.

"I know, I know! I also need to take a dump. Just give me a second."

"Meow
