《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 23 - Ten years
Advertisement
Chencai: It’s complicated and you wouldn't want to hear it.
Shang’s thoughts: If complicacy can be the reason for everything, do we still need the police?
Shang: I don’t see how a family member of yours would be used by someone else.
Shang says while watching Yuancai’s men who are running out of the shop
Chencai: I did warn him about his friends, but he just wouldn’t listen.
Shang: In other words, he’s worthless to the Wang Family.
Chencai: He’s worthless, but he is still my brother,
Shang: Are you sure you want to take care of someone like him for the rest of your life?
Chencai: If my father is not the head of the family, I would gladly lock him up in the house forever.
Shang: So how did you drag my business into this messy family feud of yours?
Chencai: Don’t blame me. You should be blaming the Pill Academy.
Shang: Pill Academy?
Chencai: They discover how to use pill alchemy on your red medicine. Due to your shop rules, they are unable to stock up as much as they want, so they try to buy from others at a higher price.
Chencai takes a little jade bottle and hands it over to Shang.
Shang uncorks the jade bottle and puts the pill in his other hand.
Shang: Hmm.
Chencai: How is it?
Shang: Looks like they succeed in turning the red medicine into powder form.
Chencai: And?
Shang: The side effect of the pill residue is still there.
Chencai: Impossible!
Chencai: They did a demonstration of eating more than one at one go and there are no side effects shown.
Shang: Probably the red powder’s effect.
Shang: The red powder heals the body damage which is caused by the pill residue. Once they stopped taking it, the pill residue will start poisoning the body.

Shang: And then you know what will happen.
Chencai:........
????: Third Young Master Wang!
A young man runs into the shop.
Young man: There is an incident on the grounds of the Pill Academy!
Chencai: I already know. You can leave now.
The young man immediately gives a short greeting and leaves the shop
Chencai: I was right to trust my gut.
Shang: If my gut can be that useful, I would have just closed shop and lived indoors.
Chencai: Please don’t joke about closing shop. My family is relying on you to survive.
Shang: Then I have bad news for you.
Chencai: What bad news?
There was sudden shouting outside the shop.
Shang: I think we will talk about it later.
Shang steps out of the shop.
Chencai: Why me?
Chencai follows Shang along with his men.
Some time later, several men were reported being thrown up to the sky for several times.
After Shang has settled with Wang, he returns to shop and sees Nanami talking to Xiao-wan by the counter.
Nanami sees Shang and ends the conversation by walking away.
Xiao-wan notices Nanami’s reaction and looks at approaching Shang.
Xiao-wan: Shang, I…
Shang: Ten years.
Xiao-wan: Eh?
Shang: If your feelings have not changed for me after ten years, I will accept them. Is it alright with you?
Xiao-wan: Really? Promise?
Shang: Promise.
Xiao-wan: Let it be ten or fifteen years, my feelings for you will not change.
Shang: I will wait.
Shang walks to the stairs.
Xiao-wan: Ten years…. I hope time flies faster...
Xiao-wan thinks as she sees Shang walks away.

Wuthering Heights (1847)
Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
