Chapter 17 - Incoming Trouble
Fang Chen has just sold many new item to Tian Cai and he was in good mood. He also happy that Tian Cai is going to talk with his father about the shop.
But the day passed and it was evening and no new customer has come after Tian Cai has left. This situation has soured his mood but he still was feeling OK.
He decided that he would buy some new materials and then tell the system to refine more pills.
At the evening he closed his shop and went to eat the dinner. Since he had to open his shop for whole night he had started to eat his dinner in the evening.
Nothing fancy he ordered normal. Even though he was in mood to enjoy he still ordered normal meal. Today he has made progress, because he has made his first deal of pawn shop and he has sold new items of the shop.
After finishing eating he went to buy the material. First he checked old man's shop from where he has bought the materials for the last time.
But when he reached at the shop he found old man was not there and the prices if materials have become normal.
He didn't had any problem to buy the materials at normal price. But he was still hoping to meet that old man and his granddaughter so that he could buy the materials for half price.
He bought the material and went back. He immediately told the system refine them. He had enough Spirit Stone to refine 5 sets of each pill and a Saber.
As the system was refine he told the system to show his status. A panel appeared showing his status.

He saw some changes in the status, he was happy that pawn items have increased has he took the Martial Spirit from Tang Shirong.
As he checked the profits he was speechless, because if he counted the Spirit stone then it should be 188 or something in the profits but there were only twenty.
"System why is there less profit?"
"Host, you should remember the system's rule that you can only increase the price of the item ten percent and the system will only count that in the profit.
Even if you get 1000 extra Spirit Stones it will be not counted because the system's rule is that it would only except 10 percent profit."
He couldn't help but curse, because he had forgotten about that. He remembered that by his materials when system's refine the items it had already taken the spirit stones so everything after selling the item will be his.
But he forgot that the system decides the price and only ten percent of increament is allowed.
The he saw that the status was showing the total number of Spirit Stones. He saw that the system had counted all stone but for the profit count it would count accordingly.
He was still happy that he was more than 50 Spirit Stones remaining after he gave 100 Spirit Stones two days ago to the system.
But he suddenly remembered that he had not paid today's refinement charges and he was thinking the system immediately showed the panel asking for the Spirit Stones.

So now after he paid this he will only have 33 Spirit Stones. But he had to add items so he immediately confirmed the payment.
He would have asked the system to refine more but he decided that if the demand increases then he will refine more.
He also had enough gold coins worth two Spirit stones but the system doesn't accept it so he would pay for his lunch and buy some materials with.
The system informed him that the items will be added in six hours. He nodded he didn't had anything to do aside from wait.
The sky has become dark Fang Chen is sitting outside the shop. The shop is open for business. Now his mood is back to it was when he had no customers and it was because the system would not count extra Spirit Stones in profit.
He was hoping that he would get new customers but today he has not rested a bit so while sitting on the chair he has fallen asleep.
The alley where his shop is always quiet so this caused him to sleep in just few minutes. One hour passed but there still no customers.
Fang Chen was sleeping outside the shop. He was very light sleeper so while sleeping if someone comes near he would immediately wake up.
So when for last hour no one came so he decided that he would close the shop and sleep. But before he could wake up and close the shop. He heard footsteps.
He opened his eyes and looked ahead, even though it was night and there was no visibility he saw five shadows moving towards his shop.
When they moved closer he saw that one was Teen boy and other four were middle age men which were holding onto to spear.
Fang Chen immediately knew that person is not easy and he has come to cause trouble. The way he was walking Fang Chen guessed that the person has higher backing in the city.
The four people behind him were carrying there weapons and were wearing same robes. So Fang Chen was able to tell that they were guards to protect the teen.
Fang Chen immediately stood up and went inside the shop.. Because he had guessed that the teen is an Incoming Trouble.
