Chapter 59 Planting the Seeds of Aspiration

Cheng Yunshi was still looking down, wondering how to meet Shen Jufeng again, but Yao Bingan and the others had already bought what they wanted.

Yao Bingan gave Lu Jiu 100 copper coins and said, "You bought too much today. I'll give you some more as a thank you when I get back."

Lu Jiu shook his head and said, "I just brought you to the store. You have to buy the things yourself. You will know the exact location of the store next time you come."

The city-state automatically expels non-city-state residents at 8 p.m., and now it is past 6 p.m., so they can still stay for nearly two hours.

There was still one place they hadn't visited on this trip. "Why don't you go to the department store? There'll be some cosmetics there. Girls can look at them, and boys can too."

Cheng Yunshi had heard Lu Jiu talk about department stores before, and she was instinctively curious about the variety of things they sold. "I want to go and take a look. I haven't used makeup in a long time."

Even though they are in the game world now, if they don’t sleep well, their complexion will still look bad. Now everyone has a bare face.

Among the three city lords, there are two girls. Although they are city lords, they are actually girls in their early teens and twenties. Of course they have ideas about cosmetics.

Compared to the other three shops which are frequented by professional players, the department store is frequented by many lifestyle players.

When Li Aoting entered the mall, a few other children walked past them and went upstairs directly on the escalator.

Seeing them staring at the children, Lu Jiu said, "There's an amusement park on the top floor. Almost all the children in the city have membership cards and go there when they have time."

He Ange was very interested in this and ran to Lu Jiu and asked, "What games are they? Are there any suitable for adults to play?"

"Yes, it's the Electric City, where both adults and children can play." Lu Jiu also hoped that someone here would apply for a card, so that no matter what, they would come here often to patronize it in order not to waste money.

He Ange wasn't interested in anything else in the mall, but he loved playing video games. "Then I'll go and see, too. Do I have to get a card to play?"

Lu Jiu hummed, "You need to apply for a card. You can go up and check it out yourself. It's not expensive anyway."

He Ange took a few people who also wanted to play video games upstairs, and the others went to explore on their own. Lu Jiu consciously completed his tour guide duties for the day, "Then you guys take your time to look around, I'll go back first."

Yao Bing'an and the others nodded, "Thank you."

After waving goodbye to Lu Jiu, Cheng Yunshi and the other sisters ran to the makeup area. The cosmetics displayed there were all big brands that they were familiar with.

It really feels like I'm still shopping in the mall like before.

A girl picked up a perfume on the counter and exclaimed, "Wow, Chanel, so cheap." The price displayed on the counter was 35 copper coins for 30 ml.

35 copper coins are too cheap for them now. It would have been impossible to buy it in the past without spending thousands of them.

There are many brands here, covering a full range of categories. Cheng Yunshi even saw local girls from Xuantian City trying on lipsticks with delicate makeup on their faces, and they didn't look fake at all.

Finally, before 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Aoting and others had gathered at the city gate.

He Ange still had an unsatisfied expression on his face, "I haven't played games for a long time. To be honest, the Electric City game on this system is more fun. It's really exciting."

Just like the racing game he played, he needed to wear special glasses and sit in the seat, and then the top was covered to form a closed environment, and then the special glasses brought him into the holographic scene.

Acceleration and collision can be clearly felt.

In the end, he even flipped over, and that was the real feeling of flipping over.

"Yes, but I got first place today." The boy who went to the Electric City with He Ange said excitedly.

"City Lord He also flipped over. I was right next to him and watched his seat roll over."

"Hahaha, he still calls himself the God of Driving." The other teammates laughed at him mercilessly.

He Ange was a little embarrassed, "That's enough, it was an accident. It was my first time playing such a car and I wasn't very experienced."

Seeing their heated discussion, Li Aoting was slightly shocked. Xuantian City was really great. She even suspected that some of these teammates might want to live here for a while.

There are only three free shops when they upgrade to a second-level city-state, so how could they afford to spend 10 gold coins to open another shop?

Even she herself was so eager to buy something today, and honestly, if she didn't have her own city-state as the city lord, she would definitely choose to settle down in Xuantian City.

However, Li Aoting's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "Everyone is here, let's go and talk on the way." It was impossible for her to ask her teammates to shut up and not talk about Xuantian City.

"Yes, I bought a new version of the bicycle, it's so cool." He Ange took out the pure black bicycle to show off. Comparing it with the wooden bicycle next to it was like the difference between a commuter vehicle and a luxury car.

Sensing the smug look in He Ange's eyes as he looked at his bicycle, the teammate hummed, "When I save enough money, I'll sell this one and buy a new one."

【Iron Bicycle】(Bronze Level)

Speed: 96

Defense: 68

Speed: Basic 25km/h

Effect: Every 4 kilometers traveled will give you a double acceleration, which lasts for 3 seconds.

The basic speed alone is 5km/h faster than the previous wooden bicycle, and the double acceleration distance is one kilometer shorter.

Three city-states in Jinghe District have been very busy recently. Among them, the shops in Wuyu City are now flooded with a large number of professional players.

Ever since Yao Bingan came back from Xuantian City a few days ago and put new products on the shelves, the team in Wuyu City has been wailing about their pockets being emptied.

From bicycles to potions with excellent properties, everything urged them to consume quickly.

Without exception, the prices of the items brought back doubled, as the city lord also needs to make money.

The captains of each team received emails from the city lord, saying that there were better grid backpacks available for trade.

Stay in a room in the hotel.

There were seven or eight people sitting in the living room. Sitting in the middle of the sofa was a slightly fat man, who was also the captain of this team.

"City Lord Yao said they have backpacks in four sizes: 5, 8, 12, and 16. She doesn't have many right now. I'm planning on buying a 16-slot backpack and two of each of the other three sizes. What kind do you want?"

After the slightly plump man finished speaking, the others started talking about the capacity of the backpacks they wanted to buy.

The girl sitting next to the man asked, "Captain, is there really no limit on the number of personal backpacks? Is the city lord saying this to stimulate consumption?"

The slightly chubby man shook his head slightly. "There's no need for her to cheat people for so many backpacks. Besides, if there really is no limit on the number of personal backpacks, then plaid backpacks are unlikely to appear."

When the girl heard what her captain said, she stopped worrying about it.

A shorter man standing by the window suddenly said, "Captain, we found labels on the bicycles we bought, and also on the inside of the potion bottle caps that the city lord brought back. 'Xuantian-made', do you really think those are all manufactured in Xuantian City, Jinjiang District?"

These three words are the reason why they gathered here.

"Otherwise, there is no such thing as Xuantian in our city, and the city lord has nothing to do with the word Xuantian." The slightly fat man suspected that the city lord went to Xuantian City to purchase these and then came back to resell them.

There are always 30 days a month when I don’t feel like writing. My mind is full of other inspirations.
