Chapter 375: Surveying The Market
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
After settling Wang Fei down and cleaned up the living room , Wang Yu returned to his bedroom.
Mu Zi Xian was back to back with her pillow as she was reading a book in bed. Wang Yu smiled as he spoke, “Hehe, my lovely wife. Let me tell you a good news.”
“What good news?” An interested Mu Zi Xian looked over.
“I can go home now.” Wang Yu replied cheerfully.
“Go home?” A doubtful Mu Zi Xian asked, “Isn’t this your home?”
“I meant the Wang family clan.” Wang Yu replied.
In the past six months, Wang Yu and Mu Zi Xian lived an easy, comfortable and loving life together. However, there had always been a knot in Wang Yu’s heart.
Wang Yu was a traditional man with traditional views. In his mind, any marriage without the blessings of the parents would always end up in a tragedy. Wang Yu didn’t care whether they returned home or not. His greatest wish was to marry Mu Zi Xian openly and give her a right and proper title as the Wang family’s daughter-in-law.
On the other hand, Mu Zi Xian didn’t agree with his thoughts. After hearing Wang Yu’s words, Mu Zi Xian’s mood was at the rock bottom. Throughout the six months, she slogged her life away for this family. However, she was utterly disappointed with the attitude of her man towards this small family.
“Could it be that you’ve never treated this place as your home?” Mu Zi Xian asked solemnly.
Wang Yu could tell that Mu Zi Xian was not feeling very pleased so he quickly explained himself, “No way! It is not how you think it is…”
“Go back if you want, as long as you’re happy.” Mu Zi Xian had always been an unbending woman. She used the book to cover her face as she didn’t want Wang Yu to see her disappointed face.
“En! You must come back with me too!” Wang Yu replied.
“Why should I go back to your family!” Mu Zi Xian’s tone remained cold.
Wang Yu answered, “That will be your family in the future too! I want you to meet my parents so that they can acknowledge you as their daughter-in-law.”
“Meet your parents?”
Hearing Wang Yu’s explanation, Mu Zi Xian instantly understood Wang Yu’s intention. Seeing how thoughtful Wang Yu was, Mu Zi Xian was rather pleased. However, she continued to shake her head, “I don’t want! I am happy with the life we are living now. I don’t care about having a title or not! What matters most is that the two of us are happy together!”
Mu Zi Xian had seen enough TV dramas to know how complicated matters in a family clan could be. Moreover, she was someone who had a history of eloping with Wang Yu. She was certain that she would be treated as the family’s enemy, someone who was only interested in Wang Yu so as to climb into the rich and powerful Wang family.
Mu Zi Xian was someone with a slightly haughty temper. While the couple’s life wasn’t considered very wealthy, they were still doing just fine. Moreover, both of them were still young with a bright future. She didn’t see the point of going back to face the moods of other people.
Wang Yu chuckled as he asked, “Are you worried that we will be living an oppressive life back there?”
“En!” Mu Zi Xian nodded her head with conviction. Nothing beats the comfort of one own house. The ‘everyone living together’ spirit of family clan was way too old-fashioned…
“We will come back here after meeting my parents. We won’t stay long there.” Wang Yu smiled.
“Really?” Mu Zi Xian was pleasantly surprised. She thought that Wang Yu was ready to give up on everything here.
“Of course!” Wang Yu smiled, “Everything here is because of your blood and sweat. How can we throw all of these away?”
Mu Zi Xian corrected Wang Yu’s words, “This is because of our blood and sweat.”
“It’s all the same. Let’s go to bed now! It would definitely be more appropriate if we can return with a baby for them to carry.” Wang Yu jumped onto the bed after switching off the lights.
Mu Zi Xian hit Wang Yu’s chest and shouted, “F*ck you! Where did you even learn all these despicable things from?”
…
Looking at how soundly Wang Yu was sleeping, Mu Zi Xian had a lot on her mind. She truly never thought about being the wife of a young master. However, hearing that Wang Yu wanted to bring her back to his family, Mu Zi Xian was slightly flustered.
In China, marriage isn’t a child’s play. It was especially important for both families to be well-matched in terms of social status. A couple might think that this is irrelevant during the exciting and romantic period of dating. However, people start to realise its importance after marriage. No matter how in love two people were, problems were bound to arise because of family social status. Eventually, incidents might occur one after another.
Mu Zi Xian was particularly familiar with this point. In half a year, she witnessed how Wang Yu changed from being a proud martial expert to a decadent youth.
A man supported by a woman would feel inferior. A poverty-stricken woman marrying into a wealthy family will not only feel inferior, she might even lose her human rights.
To change this situation, no one else could help her. She would be able to find her self-confidence again only by making herself great.
The income made from Mu Zi Xian’s shop in the game might be decent. However, it was nothing compared to the wealth of the Wang family…
At the very least, we must let everyone know that we can survive even without being parasites…
The next day, Wang Fei left after having his breakfast. After sending Wang Fei off, Wang Yu entered the game.
<>’s official operation was like a shock wave. It destroyed the traditional gaming market. Presently, all 300 home cities of <> was buzzing with people. Even Titan City, which nobody was usually interested in, was not of any exception.
Even so, the number of people playing this game was still on the rise.
After entering the game, Wang Yu squeezed his way to the convenience store.
Recently, My Zi Xian didn’t have the time to enter the game. Therefore, the other owner of the convenience store had to work a little harder.
In the convenience store, Li Xue and the three other ladies were busy serving people. Before the shop went official, Wang Yu stocked up quite a few items. Currently, they were all very popular.
The peak tier arrows which he brought in from the secret dungeon quests were especially popular despite its expensive price tag.
Business was prosperous but the crowd was really giving Wang Yu a headache.
“How do we survive days like this?” Wang Yu frowned as he asked Fearless.
“Just tank for a few more days…”
“How do you know?”
“Once they level up, gamers would head elsewhere… This game has quite a huge map eh.”
“Speaking of which, what are you doing here at my shop?” Wang Yu asked Fearless.
Fearless replied mysteriously, “I am surveying the market.”
“Shouldn’t Frost Blade be the one who says that?”
“He went off to do something else!”
With a smile on a face, Fearless walked over to Li Xue. “How is the sales volume of the middle grade medicine?”
Li Xue shook her head, “Not very good… We’re basically unable to sell any.”
“Why? Didn’t it used to sell well?” Wang Yu was worried.
“After the game went official, gold depreciated in value. We’ve also adjusted our price from 50 silver to 50 gold… After that, nobody buys it anymore. On the other hand, Daybreak Studio maintained its price at 5 gold. Even after the depreciated price of gold, they didn’t increase the price of their medicine at all…”
“Tsk! Why would anyone buy our medicine if the price increases so tremendously? Why are we not pricing our medicines at the same price as the Daybreak Studio?” A curious Wang Yu asked.
“The prices of the materials used to make the medicines are increasingly rapidly. We will definitely lose money if we match the Daybreak Studio’s price of the medicine…” Li Xue replied.
