Shang’s thoughts: This is awkward
Shang is currently lying on his bed while thinking.
The reason for Shang’s thoughts was when Shang entered the shop with Nanami, Xiao-wan immediately flared up for no reason and started screaming like she is already Shang’s wife.
Shang can totally feel what the protagonist in Oreshura light novel felt.
After getting a hint from Nanami that she will handle it, Shang retreats to his favorite hideout which is the bedroom.
As Shang daydreams while looking up at the ceiling, his view was blocked by a smiling Nanami.
Shang: How is she?
Nanami: I told her our relationship.
Shang: and then?
Nanami: She wants to be left alone for a while.
Shang:.........
Shang: Sorry.
Nanami: For?
Shang: Just now.
Nanami: It’s not your fault.
Nanami: You should as well take her in.
Shang: No.
Nanami: Why?
Shang: it’s like only one month when I found her outside the shop.
Shang: Do you think our relationship would go beyond the line of brother and sister within a month?
Shang: Impossible, right?
Nanami: But both of you are not blood related.
Shang:...... I need more time.
Nanami: You are indeed considering it.
Shang: No, I wasn’t.
As Shang wants to explain, he notices orange spots in the Shop Design.
Shang: Hmm!?
Shang suddenly jumps from the bed.
Nanami: What’s wrong?
Shang: We have unwanted guests.
Shang runs downstairs just in time to hear shouting between Xiao-wan and a male voice.
Xiao-wan: Like I say, there are limits for everyone.
Xiao-wan: If we simply sell you over the limit, we are completely breaking shop rules.
Xiao-wan: Who would enter a shop that does that?
????: You listen here!
????: I am actually paying more than usual amount.
????: Just give whatever you have in stock.
Xiao-wan: Sorry, I have to ask you to leave.

Xiao-wan: I believe you're a troublemaker.
????: What did you say!
Shang: What’s going on here?
Before the male voice decides to do the hard way, Shang appears and says.
Xiao-wan: Shang…
A guy wearing blue Hanfu turns to Shang.
????: So you are the shopkeeper. You look too young to be one.
Shang: Looks can be deceiving but I don't think that's the point. I heard someone here wants to break shop rules.
????: C’mon, it’s not like other shops did not do the same.
Shang: Then I am sorry to disappoint you that this shop is totally different from others.
Shang points to his board of rules. which is hanging on the wall.
Shang: Either buy or scram.
????:.........
????: MEN! I AM CLOSING THIS SHOP!
A group of six men who are holding weapons enters the shop.
Shang: Before you start, do you know I have connections with the Wang Family?
????: Wang Family? A shop like yours would have connections with the Wang Family? Don't make me laugh!
????: MEN! DO IT!
Chencai: STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!
Wang Chencai also enters the shop with another group of men.
Chencai: Have you gone mad, Second brother?
Chencai: You forgot what the head says?
Second brother: I know when I am mad and when I am not.
Second brother: Listen, Third brother. All we have to do is just force this shop to give us the formula for red medicine, and we will be wealthy forever.
Chencai: YUANCAI!
Yuancai: What are you afraid of? You should be a man like me and take whatever should be yours!
Chencai: Yuancai, you!
Shang watches the two Wang brothers arguing among themselves.
Shang’s thoughts: Did the red potions become famous in the world?
Shang’s thoughts: I don’t like how this is going.
Yuancai: Screw this! MEN!
Chencai: YUANCAI!
Shang I think you need to cool your head...outside.
Shang sends Wang Yuancai flying outside with a finger flick to the forehead.
Shang then turns to Chencai.
Shang: You got some explaining to do.

Over the summer gets extremely invested in a gacha game known as “Ultima Online” and plays it every single day with his real life friends Gig, Yuso, and Shigeto. Cryo becomes a well-known member of the community because he uploads videos online and livestreams and is especially well-known because he almost never pulls good units from the gacha due to his terrible luck, which makes his anger fun to watch. One day, Admin (Administrators/Developers of the gacha game) send him an email inviting him to their facilities to tour them as a thank-you for making content for the game. On his way to the facilities Cryo stops at a gas station to get some snacks and the gas station is stuck-up by a robber. The robber takes a cute girl hostage and threatens to kill her, so Cryo steps in and bodyslams the robber, causing the robber to aimlessly shoot a bullet which bounces off a rubber tire, just when Cryo thinks he saved the day, the bullet hits him in the head with a lot of force, but not enough to kill him, putting him into a coma. Cryo is then transported to purgatory where a cute goddess decides his fate to be transported to a realm that needed help, promising Cryo if he found 4 legendary swords in this world he would gain re-admittance to the life he once lived. Before being transported to the world that needed assistance the goddess tells him that he can maximize any of his traits, procuring thought into whether Cryo should choose looks, strength, or another trait. After being reminded of his terrible luck in which a flashback to his family dying in a house fire is shown, he decides maximizing his luck trait should be the best choice. He is then transported into this new world, which turns out to be the world of his gacha game, Ultima Online. He meets friends and foes and is tasked with collecting 4 swords that appear as lolis to Cryo. Using the gacha system, he creates a party of strong allies to aid him on his quest to return.
