Chapter 276

Chen Nuo looked over Nezha from head to toe, and indeed he had potential, but not for now.

If business really takes off in the future, it might be worth considering letting Nezha dress as a woman to serve as an image ambassador.

"Not necessary"

Chen Nuo shook his head slightly.

"Don't"

Nezha became anxious.

"Then what about other members? Isn't there a single one I can obtain?"

Nezha felt somewhat unwilling.

Chen Nuo raised his eyebrows and said: "The minimum standard for members of Chaos Residence is Black Iron Member"

"You can get one exemption after every ten consumptions"

Nezha's heart immediately began to calculate—this Black Iron Member, though not comparable to Zhi Nv's Silver, seemed not bad either!

"Shopkeeper Chen, then please also arrange one of these Black Iron Members for me"

Chen Nuo, upon hearing this, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said: "Sure!

As long as you make a one-time top-up equivalent to ten consumptions, you will automatically be upgraded to Black Iron level member"

"This is the minimum threshold for membership"

Upon hearing this, Nezha's face instantly fell—ten consumptions? Are you kidding me!

One consumption from him equals half a cultivation level.

Ten times, and he would directly lose half of his cultivation!

If he were to drop an entire stage, that would be unbearable for cultivation—who could withstand that!

Squeezing out a strained smile at the corner of his mouth, Nezha asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Chen, you're not joking, are you?"

Perhaps seeing the disbelief in Nezha's eyes, Chen Nuo paused, then spoke again: "No?"

"There are still quite a few Black Iron members in the shop—like Tianpeng and Xiao Tian, they are all Black Iron level members"

Xiao Tian!

Nezha's breath caught, and immediately his face flushed with shame and indignation—he, the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Assembly Nezha, is actually not even as good as a dog!

This is too much of an insult—who would have thought even Yang Dage's dog has a membership!

However, Nezha also thought: everyone's consumption method is different—perhaps Xiao Tian's standard is simpler!

"Shopkeeper Chen, what is the consumption standard for Xiao Tian?"

Nezha directly decided to verify his guess.

If it were dog bones or the like, then it would be understandable!

However, Chen Nuo's words were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

"Xiao Tian—his consumption standard is one Golden Immortal magical treasure"

Chen Nuo still clearly remembered that his consumption standard with Tianpeng was the same, which is why he originally wanted to form a treasure-digging team to be self-sufficient.

Golden Immortal... magical treasure?? Nezha's face was full of astonishment—this is completely different from what he imagined!

If Xiao Tian's item... is confirmed to be able to wield a Golden Immortal magical treasure, and if speaking of Tianpeng, Nezha could somewhat understand—being a disciple of the Ren Sect, with great enterprise and vast business, only lacking in manpower.

The benefits on his person would naturally not be few.

But Xiao Tian's cultivation is lowly; in daily sparring, he merely grits his teeth—how could he possibly resemble someone possessing a magical treasure!

Nezha suddenly thought of a possibility—could it be that the magical treasure Yang Dage gave that dog was stolen and used for top-up?

Thinking of that dog's usual shameless appearance, Nezha the more he thought, the more he felt it possible.

No way!

When I next meet Yang Dage, I must inform him to pay attention—just in case, even if not, we must guard against the unforeseen.

However, Nezha furrowed his brow—if the minimum membership threshold requires ten top-ups, then Zhi Nv's consumption standard is one-fifth of magical power per consumption.

It's even more impossible to top up ten times' worth of fees in one go!

Upon reaching this thought, Nezha blurted out: "Zhi Nv also didn't top up, so why did she instantly become a member? And it's Silver, isn't it said the minimum threshold is a one-time top-up of ten consumptions?"

Chen Nuo smiled slightly: "She indeed does not meet the standard, but she helped Chaos Residence, enough to be exceptionally made a Silver level member"

"Only Black Iron members can be obtained freely upon meeting the standard; higher-level members all require contributions to Chaos Residence"

Chen Nuo showed no fear at all.

Speaking of rules, don't you know what 'final interpretation rights belong to the organizer' means? Looking at the dejected Nezha, Chen Nuo paused, then began to paint a big pie.

"You too—when the time comes and help is needed, provide assistance to Chaos Residence and receive member rewards, only higher, never lower"

Chen Nuo spoke fluently and at length.

Then good, then good—Nezha let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as I also have hope of becoming a promoted member, that's fine.

"This Shopkeeper Chen, truly mysterious indeed"

Zhi Nv stood on Yun Duan, sighed emotionally.

Beside her, Nezha, upon hearing this, nodded repeatedly: "That's only natural"

Able to help people awaken divine abilities,

And yet far from being an ordinary person—his terrifying cultivation makes him even more unfathomable.

But it can be certain that, among the Three Realms, Shopkeeper Chen is absolutely among the top tier; as for whether he can compare to a Holy Person, that remains unknown.

After smacking his lips, Nezha's face was full of aftertaste: "Just this dish portion is a bit small, and I can only order one portion per day"

Zhi Nv nodded slightly, indicating agreement—she eats even larger portions of staple food, yet still feels it's not enough.

It's really too delicious!

She had never tasted such delicious food before; in the Three Realms, it was unlikely she would ever find someone with such culinary skill again!

Immediately, Zhi Nv glanced again at the still-unsatisfied Nezha, a hint of teasing on her face.

"Even if it's unlimited, what could it possibly matter? Do you really think Nezha will come every day? Be careful—you'll end up eating yourself into becoming a mortal!"

She had also just learned Nezha's pricing method.

"You"

Nezha was furious, yet helpless.

Indeed, his half-formed cultivation was not magical power that could be restored at any time.

Even if now limited, if he ate every day, he could not bear it; thinking of this, Nezha wanted to cry but had no tears.

He was truly suffering!

Not only was he tormented by Zhi Nv, this demoness, trying on all kinds of female attire, but even eating a meal from Chaos Residence could not bring him joy!

"Nezha"

Zhi Nv's voice came again.

Nezha was lost in thought, not turning his head: "What are you doing?"

"These past few days, please come to the Weaving Maiden Palace a few more times."

Zhi Nv's voice was soft and melodious, yet to Nezha it sounded no less than a thunderous roar.

He shuddered, and Nezha stammered: "Still going to your place? Uh, what?"

"Clothes and such—haven't you already tried them all? 'You haven't awakened the divine power of makeup, have you?'"

"I plan to design a special set of clothes for each makeup style you've inherited."

Zhi Nv leaned in, squinting her eyes as she smiled: "How about it? Aren't you grateful to me?"

Nezha: "..."

Demon!

"Xiao Tian"

"It's time to go—have you finished your chores yet?"

Yang Jian stood outside with a speechless expression, urging him on. Clearly, they had agreed to visit his uncle early that morning, but when he arrived, Xiao Tian had just gotten up.

Since Xiao Tian's intelligence was no different from that of an ordinary person, and after years of bond, Yang Jian did not fully regard Xiao Tian as a pet.

Thus, even in the manor, a dedicated room was left for Xiao Tian.

"What's the rush? Hurrying to be reborn? This old man is coming right away—anyway, that knife has been broken for days, so there's no need to rush over this little while."

The complaint came from inside the house—Xiao Tian's grumbling.

Yang Jian's face was filled with black lines, veins bulging on his forehead—this Xiao Tian, after visiting Chaos Residence several times, no longer even knows who he is!

Before, he would just call out his own name and that was fine, but now he dares to say such things? His fists clenched involuntarily—it seems he has been too indulgent lately.
