I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Rongmusen is a banyan tree demon living in the deep mountains of southern Yangzhou.

More than a thousand years ago, he was one of the first students to enter Dongtian Academy.

More than a thousand years have passed, and it has transformed from the little tree demon that was just starting to become wise and not very bright, to a big demon. It is now 1,200 years old.

As a banyan tree growing in an inaccessible mountain, it has grown silently for many years.

When I first entered Dongtian Academy, I couldn't understand what I was saying.

Only occasionally did the monsters who had seen the world outside the mountain talk about things outside.

The thirty years he spent studying at Dongtian Academy were the most lively and happiest days in his thousand-year life.

His experience in Dongtian Academy played a very important role in his ability to successfully transform and break through to become a great demon.

But Dongtian Academy can only stay for thirty years at most.

Thirty years later, no matter how reluctant he was to leave, he was rejected by Dongtian.

If he had always been that little demon who had never seen the world and couldn't even speak clearly, then he might still be able to endure loneliness and grow quietly in the mountains.

But he has seen the excitement.

Unfortunately, although it is easier for a plant to transform into a demon than for an animal to transform into a demon, even if it transforms into a demon, it is difficult to move too far away from the place where it grows.

Because the transformation of the plant demon is not the transformation of the body, but the condensation of a humanoid clone.

The real body of Rongmusen is located in the deep mountains. Even if it takes shape, or even becomes a great demon, it cannot walk out of the mountains and play in the human world like the animal demons.

Even if he wants to transplant his body at the expense of his cultivation, he can't find a reliable helper, let alone a suitable transplanting place.

It could be said that from the day he left Dongtian Academy, he had been looking forward to the opening of the Dongtian Market day and night.

Even if he didn't need to sleep, he would close his eyes and rest for a while every day, just because he didn't want to miss the time when the cave opened to him again.

As long as the Dongtian Market is open, even if he is located in the deep mountains and old forests and cannot move, he can still know the world's affairs and visit the largest market in Kyushu.

Perhaps because his expectations for Dongtian Market were strong enough, he was also one of the first customers invited when the market opened.

When he saw the familiar light door again in the darkness and saw the four simple characters "Yushan Cave", he almost couldn't wait to go in.

When he came in, there were not many people on the street.

Standing on the empty street, looking at the stacked, towering, unfamiliar buildings with familiar styles on both sides, and touching his square body, Rongmusen's whole demon was filled with joy:

"Back! Finally back! Is this Dongtian Market?"

Instead of seeing the enthusiastic guide like when I first entered school, there was only a strange light curtain called [Dongtian Guide] rising in front of my eyes.

This light curtain is still somewhat familiar. The light curtain used when checking the balance of Dream Coins is somewhat similar to this one.

He quickly looked down, skipping the familiar [Dongtian Academy Guidelines] column, flipping to the [Dongtian Market Guidelines] section below, and opened the customer instructions first.

【Customer Notice】

【Welcome to Dongtian Market! 】

[Here, you can buy goods from all over Kyushu. The person you trade with may be a mortal, a ghost, a monster, or a monk.

No matter what status everyone has outside the cave, there are only four identities in the cave: merchant, customer, master, and student.

Those with blue names on their heads are academy students, those with gold names are academy masters, green ones are merchants, and white ones are customers. 】

[Change the name silently, and you can modify the name displayed above the head. Each person has a free chance to change the name. After that, every time you change the name, you need to pay 100 Dream Coins. 】

[Dream coins are the only trading currency in the cave. You can exchange your own gold, silver or ghost coins within one meter of you at the automatic deposit and teller machine for dream coins, or withdraw the dream coins into gold and silver. The location of ATMs can be searched on the market map.

Say Dream Coin silently, and then poke the small golden square on the back of your hand to check your Dream Coin balance or make a transfer payment. 】

[In the market map, search for the products you want to buy and find the corresponding shops faster. 】

[Recite "take off" silently and you can fly. 】

[In resting state, silently recite "Dongtian Market" to enter the market. In the market, you can return to Kyushu by saying "Leave" or "Go out" silently. 】

[Please note that in order to avoid market congestion, each customer needs to make at least one transaction within an hour.

Otherwise, it will be deemed that there is no transaction requirement and you will be automatically asked to leave the market.

Each customer has one opportunity to enter the market every day. 】

[Customers, masters, and students can transfer their own gold and silver within one meter into the cave through automatic deposit and withdrawal machines.

Items purchased in Dongtian Market will also automatically appear next to you.

Before entering the market for shopping, please choose the right time, place and posture. 】

[Please note that no one is allowed to fight in the market. Any behavior that is not conducive to the harmony of the market will be fined with Dream Coins, or may be blacklisted by the market and no longer allowed to enter the market. 】

……

After reading the customer instructions, Rongmusen already knew the general transaction method.

Out of curiosity, he read the merchant instructions again.

Then I discovered that merchants are much more convenient and have more power than customers.

[In the market, those who rent one or more stores and the store is in normal operating condition can obtain merchant status. 】

[Those with merchant status can bring goods that do not exceed the size of the store into the cave. 】

[Those with merchant status can independently control the length of stay in Dongtian Market.

When the energy consumption is too high, the cave will give a warning. After three warnings, the cave will be automatically transferred out. You can only enter again after you have rested. 】

[Those with merchant status can appoint one or more clerks according to the size and level of the store. The clerks in the store have the same market stay time as the merchant. 】

……

For Rong Musen, a thousand-year-old tree demon with high energy and low need for rest, the stay time as a customer is really too short.

He wished he could live in Dongtian Market.

The merchant's stay was quite good, but as a tree demon in the mountains, he had no money. The few Dream Coins he had saved while studying at Dongtian Academy were not enough to rent a shop as a merchant.

Rong Musen, who was short of money and wanted to stay for a long time, immediately set his sights on the position of assistant.

It can make money without limiting the stay time, which is perfect for him.

He searched for workers on the market map and saw a large recruitment hall in the market.

He quickly flew over there.

By the time he took action, the market was already bustling with square people.
