“Update next Monday?!” Everyone looked thunder-struck at the news, and their minds went blank again.

“I thought the TV series will update tomorrow, but Fang Qi said that we must wait until next Monday?!”

“Kid! What did you say?!” Nalan Hongwu stared at Fang Qi without blinking. If looks could kill, he would have cut Fang Qi into countless pieces!

“Sir! I thought new episodes would be released tomorrow!” Dong Qingli looked outraged!

“Why are you staring at me this way? Haven’t you read novels?” Fang Qi stood up. “Celestial Warrior only publishes one volume each month! What’s the problem with next week?”

“Each of the volumes has abundant content! But you only released six episodes!” Dong Qingli argued.

“It’s why I don’t wait until next month to update the TV series,” Fang Qi sounded reasonable.

Everyone was at a loss for words.

“If you dare to update it monthly, I’ll hire someone to give you a good beating!” Dong Qingli gritted her teeth, wishing to strangle this harmless-looking shop owner.

– At this moment in the Wind and Moon Pavilion –

Xiang Qinghe directed the waiters to remove the morning tea and replace it with lunch. Sitting at the table alone, he thought, What’s wrong with Master lately? She hurries out before eating breakfast and doesn’t come back until midnight.

She said that she had been to that shop named Origins. Aren’t they our mortal enemy? Thinking of the recent removal of the boycott against that shop, Xiang Qinghe had a bad feeling. How can it be?

…

“Sir, can you update it tomorrow?!” Fenghua and Yuexin gazed at Fang Qi with pitiful expressions. Now, they would be thrilled if this TV series could be updated tomorrow!

After all, compared with next week, tomorrow was a much better option!

“You must update it tomorrow!” Sitting next to Fang Qi on his right, Su Tianji grabbed one arm of his chair and stared at him with sharp eyes.

“Right! You must update it tomorrow!” Sitting at Computer No. 1, Nalan Hongwu slammed his hand on the desk and stood up.

“The shooting needs funds, and the production takes time! Do you think it’s so easy to make a TV series? Why don’t you tell the novel authors to finish the stories before they publish them?”

Everyone went silent; no one could rebuff him!

Anyway, they couldn’t make trouble here.

Dong Qingli had threatened to beat the shop owner in a moment of fury, and everyone knew that the issue couldn’t be solved by beating him.

Although they didn’t understand the part about funds, they understood that the production needed time.

“Forget it!” Su Tianji sighed heavily. She felt like killing Fang Qi, but she knew that it was useless to continue this topic. Waving her hand, she said, “Let’s eat some snacks…”

“Master, we ate all of them…” Yue Xin reminded her.

“Doesn’t the shop have new items recently?” Su Tianji asked.

Then, she froze when she saw the empty noodle bowls, Coke bottles, and Haagen-Dazs containers on her desk.

Her face turned dark when she realized that they had indeed eaten them all.

She had felt like there were many new snacks in the shop. Was it an illusion?

“We…” Beside her, Dong Qingli also froze. She looked back at the empty bowls and bottles on her desk and murmured, “It seems I’ve eaten them all, too…”

The Royal Princess, the two princes, and the disciples from the academies who had just finished watching the TV series also glanced at their desks and went speechless.

“If it continues like this, I’m afraid that we will have no money to pay for our return trip…” Luo Yun looked dejected.

“That’s my fear too,” Xiao Lengyu said with a dark expression, “From now on, we can’t eat any more snacks!”

“Right!” Ying Zongxuan said, “We’re here to cultivate!”

“Who wants to play Diablo? Let’s team up!” the Fifth Prince yelled.

“Me!”

“I’m a level 4 sorcerer and have learned the Charged Bolt! It’s really powerful!”

“I’m a level 3 assassin! Count me in!”

People’s voices sounded one after another.

“Forget it! Since there’s no TV series to watch, let’s gain some levels!”

“Sir, come and play Counter Strike with us?” Su Tianji felt helpless.

“Counter Strike again?” Fang Qi said, “Okay! I will play some rounds with you guys, but don’t blame me when I slaughter you.”

Su Tianji: “…”

“What do we do?” Dong Qingli and Zhang Wanyu looked at each other.

“Let’s play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy!”

“Right! We don’t have to wait for the plot to develop while we play the Legend of the Sword and Fairy! Let’s play it now! Humph!”

…

At this moment, Premier Zhang sat with a sharp-eyed middle-aged man who looked lean. The latter was obviously his bodyguard with good cultivation strength.

They sat in front of the computers with empty instant noodle bowls, Coke bottles, and Haagen-Dazs containers on the desk.

Premier Zhang stroked his beard and said broodingly, “In the last couple of days, while I watched the TV series and played games, I always felt a surge of warmth moving inside me. I wonder why.”

“Ms. Zhang!” The lean middle-aged man said in a grave voice.

“Guard Bian, what’s the problem?” Premier Zhang asked, “Do you also feel the weird warmth in your body?”

“Flowing warm current?!” Bian Ying thought for a moment and said, “The feeling of flowing warm currents is something that happens when one begins to obtain qi. I wonder if it is…”

“Obtaining qi?!” Premier Zhang froze.

“Right!” Bian Ying answered, “If it’s spiritual essence, it feels light and nimble. If it’s warrior qi, it feels thick and heavy. Which feeling do you have?”

“It feels heavy!” Premier Zhang answered.

Then, he shivered and asked with a shaky voice, “Do you mean… I… can cultivate?!”

“Please give me your left hand, Premier.” Bian Ying had also felt the increase in his cultivation strength, but he was a powerful warrior while Premier Zhang was just an ordinary man without any talent!

However, anyone could cultivate to be a warrior, but for those with poor talent, it was just a waste of time and resources. Since his cultivation strength had increased, it was possible that Premier Zhang had gained some warrior qi as well.

Bian Ying reached out and touched Premier Zhang’s left wrist.

Instantly, he felt weak but pure warrior qi pulsing in the depths of Premier Zhang’s Dantian!

Bian Ying said immediately, “Congratulations! Premier! You have extremely pure warrior qi in your body! Although it’s still weak, you have the potential to become a warrior!”

With Premier Zhang’s physique, he couldn’t be put in the Body-Forging Realm. However, it was hard to say if he could be placed in the Official Warrior Realm with his weak warrior qi.

However, he indeed had the hopes of becoming a warrior.

“I have no talent in this field, and I didn’t try to cultivate in the last couple of days,” Premier Zhang said wonderingly, “How come I have…”

Bian Ying pointed at the computer and said, “It might be the effect of this spiritual artifact!”
