'Ugh…' Hao nearly toppled over in disappointment.
Saint Apprentice Realm?
That meant he had to make a lot of breakthroughs first.
Guess he wasn't leaving any time soon.
He stared blankly at the store ceiling, arms limp at his sides.
'System,are you turning into one of those scammy pop-up sites? Like 'Just do this one thing!' But when you actually do it, bam surprise!'
'More steps. Always more steps.'
The silence in the store was damning.
The system didn't even bother to respond.
How cruel.
Hao slowly closed his eyes, sighing as if he had never asked the question in the first place.
Forget it.
He wasn't heartbroken. Not at all.
Just… mildly betrayed.
Days passed like flowing water.
Though he still manned the counter, cultivation had become a part of his daily life. Every free moment, Hao would sit in the corner and absorb solar qi, refining it with quiet focus.
It had already become second nature, like restocking the shelves or boiling instant noodles.
