Chapter 40: The Conclusion of the Sky-High Price Watermelon Juice (Eighth Update)

"Huh? Qin Shi Huang? Isn't he long dead!"

Su Mu, who had been watching the show from the checkout counter, frowned instantly upon hearing the man in the magnificent robe shout suddenly.

This man was actually claiming to be Qin Shi Huang?

This had to be a joke!

In the history of this world, a Qin Shi Huang had existed as well.

Earlier, seeing the other party dressed so extraordinarily, he had assumed the man was just another wealthy eccentric who liked historical fashion.

But for the man to claim he was Qin Shi Huang, things had gotten out of hand.

"System, get out here and explain what is going on!"

Without hesitation, he asked the system inside his mind directly.

Before this, he had treated this group as a bunch of historical enthusiasts or actors.

But now that Qin Shi Huang had appeared, these were no damn actors!

This shitty system of his must have gone and done something behind his back without telling him.

"Beep. To help the host better promote the gourmet shop, this system has enabled the Heavens function!"

A mechanical voice spoke up, echoing in Su Mu's mind.

At this moment, Su Mu finally understood what was going on.

No wonder this group was paying with gold.

Su Mu had found it strange before.

But he had attributed it to the weird hobbies of the wealthy.

Now it seemed these people were all ancients from who knows which world!

Wait, the point of this matter didn't seem to be that!

"System, explain to me why you enabled this function without telling me!"

Su Mu felt extremely annoyed by the system's behavior.

Damn it, it enabled extra functions and didn't even tell him.

It was only thanks to Qin Shi Huang popping up that he found out.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have been kept in the dark forever!

"Beep. The host never asked!"

The next moment, the system's response rang out again. Looking at the system's reply, Su Mu's mouth twitched and his eyelids jumped wildly.

You dog system, if I don't ask, you don't say.

You're just like an artificial idiot!

Deep down, he no longer held any hope for his system.

However, the very next moment, information about Yue Buqun, Tang San, and the others suddenly appeared in his mind.

Looking at the information in his mind, Su Mu felt slightly satisfied.

That's more like it.

And just as Su Mu was questioning the system, the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, on the other side was also dumbfounded.

What? I am already dead?

If anyone else dared to say such a thing, Qin Shi Huang would surely be furious and have their entire clan wiped out.

But the one who spoke was Su Mu, an immortal!

What an immortal says must be true, and it was his future, no less!

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but panic.

His gaze fixed on Su Mu, seemingly waiting for what he had to say next.

Meanwhile, Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, Yue Buqun, Abbot Fang Zheng, and the others on the side...

Upon hearing that this man was actually Qin Shi Huang, they were all stunned.

The immortal could even pull in Qin Shi Huang?

At this moment, Yue Buqun felt as if his life had become surreal.

Thinking about how they had just eaten a meal together.

Yue Buqun felt he had something to brag about when he went back.

I once ate a meal with Qin Shi Huang!

Unlike Yue Buqun, Abbot Fang Zheng wore a bitter expression at this moment.

If the other party was Qin Shi Huang, then there was likely no hope for the watermelon juice later.

Although their Shaolin was wealthy, compared to an emperor like Qin Shi Huang, they were still far behind.

Inside the gourmet shop, with Qin Shi Huang's arrival, silence suddenly fell.

And Su Mu, having finished questioning the system, also came back to his senses.

"Shopkeeper, you said I am already dead; what does that mean?"

Seeing Su Mu looking at him again, Qin Shi Huang could no longer hold back and asked.

Now, he wasn't even interested in the watermelon juice anymore.

He just wanted to know how he had died!

"Uh, in the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, you died suddenly during your eastern tour at Shaqiu!"

Seeing that someone was still concerned about his own death date, Su Mu couldn't help but say it.

At the same time, he silently mourned for Qin Shi Huang for three seconds in his heart.

If nothing went wrong, this should be the one who died the earliest in his shop.

Oh, wait, forgot about Zhang Sanfeng; you two are much the same.

Su Mu, not yet knowing the effects of his gourmet food, was still worried about Zhang Sanfeng's age.

Little did he know, after two servings of watermelon juice, Zhang Sanfeng's lifespan had already increased by six years.

And all of this was thanks to the handsome system in some corner.

System: You didn't ask, so I didn't say. Is there a problem? No problem at all!

"Thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor, thirty-seventh year!"

Qin Shi Huang muttered to himself. He was currently in the thirty-fourth year of his reign, which meant he only had three years of life left.

For a moment, Qin Shi Huang couldn't help but sit down, looking dejected.

Seeing such a scene, what more could Su Mu say?

He could only silently sympathize with him.

"Life and death are fated, and reincarnation has its order; how can mere mortals touch such things!"

He shook his head and sighed, which counted as a word of comfort, hoping to make Qin Shi Huang give up on pursuing immortal elixirs sooner.

If he did that, perhaps he could live another year or two.

But these words, falling into Qin Shi Huang's ears, took on a different meaning.

Right, mortals can't touch it, but an immortal can!

Unconsciously, Qin Shi Huang's gaze turned toward the watermelon juice.

Wasn't he right here with an immortal now?

And there was watermelon juice that could increase his lifespan by three years.

This was the immortal reminding him!

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang felt he had experienced an epiphany and grasped the deep meaning in Su Mu's words.

"Ten thousand taels of gold for the share of watermelon juice!"

With one move, ten thousand taels of gold—his dominance was fully revealed.

Tang San was left dumbfounded, but his mind began to calculate.

Ten thousand taels of gold—how much gourmet food would that be enough for him to eat?

On the other side, Abbot Fang Zheng, Yue Buqun, Zhang Sanfeng, and the others gave up directly.

Not to mention whether it would hurt to take out ten thousand taels of gold.

Just facing Qin Shi Huang to compete for wealth, they couldn't win!

Moreover, Qin Shi Huang was clearly nearing his end.

For the sake of the watermelon juice, he would definitely go all out.

It wasn't worth it!

Shaking their heads, the few of them gave up immediately.

What was the point of competing? They had lost the moment he stepped up.

Seeing Yue Buqun and the others give up, Tang San also nodded silently.

Anyway, he was still young; trading watermelon juice for money was the important thing.

"Little friend, thank you!"

Even as arrogant as the First Emperor, he offered a word of thanks at this moment.

Three years of life was truly too important to him.

Taking the share from Tang San, Qin Shi Huang ordered two cups of watermelon juice directly and then began to savor them with a look of obsession.

Watching Qin Shi Huang enjoy the gourmet food in his final moments, Su Mu felt very gratified.

His words from earlier had not been in vain.

As expected, my own gourmet food is still the most delicious!
