"Ding! Host has completed the mission. Mission rewards: 5 protective shields, 5 system-issued beginner shopkeeper cards, and 1 copy of the advanced martial arts manual 'Ethereal Steps.' The reward items have been placed in the space warehouse. The system has leveled up from level 1 to level 2, and the 5th floor of the space villa has been unlocked. Host, you're awesome! You're one step closer to reaching the pinnacle of life." System Xiao Liu said cheerfully.

"Not bad, not bad. Good news that the task was completed so early in the morning. That's really great." Wang Simeng responded, while still thinking about opening the shop in her mind.

"Ding! A new task has been assigned by the system: Open 10 new shops that have never been opened before in Qingshan City."

Mission completion reward: 90 million yuan, 1 top-tier bodyguard from the system, 1 high-level sword manual of "Meteor Sword Technique", 1 superior-grade Flowing Light Sword and 1 superior-grade Star Shadow Sword, 3 protective shields, and the system can be upgraded 2 levels. Good luck, host!

"What the heck? The last mission involved five shops, and this one has ten. Are the missions getting harder and harder from now on?"

"Of course not, host is overthinking it."

This is a major quest that is triggered only by chance. A major quest is formed by combining and upgrading several smaller quests. The final reward of the combined major quest will be greater than the combined rewards of the individual smaller quests.

The host must have noticed by now, right?

This time, the system calculates that the host is capable of completing several small tasks. After system analysis, the system will choose to upgrade these small tasks into one large task.

"Not only will you level up faster, but you'll also get more and better rewards. Isn't System Six clever?" System Six said smugly, bouncing around in Wang Simeng's mind.

"Wow, I see. That puts my mind at ease. Thankfully, the missions aren't getting harder."

"Ding! The host has completed the task of opening 10 different shops. Task completion reward: 90 million yuan, 1 top-level guard card produced by the system, 1 copy of 'Meteor Sword Technique', 1 high-grade Flowing Light Sword and 1 Star Shadow Sword, 3 protective shields, the system has leveled up 2 times to level 4, and the 6th and 7th floors of the space villa have been opened."

"Hahaha, 90 million! I can finally buy the lightweight shoes I've always wanted for 99.99 million! Those shoes are impervious to water and fire, can regulate temperature, and can even fly fast. I've been wanting them for so long!" Wang Simeng was extremely excited to see the 90 million in her account. She watched as the online shopping page showed the amount had jumped from over 20 million to over 110 million.

I immediately decided to buy the shoes.

It was a bit expensive, but when Wang Simeng thought about being able to fly in the air without any equipment, she immediately felt that the 90 million was worth it.

After clicking to confirm the purchase, the lightweight shoes appeared in the warehouse. Wang Simeng quickly took them out and put them on, planning to wear these new shoes to the opening ceremony today.

"Hmm...not bad. Shoes worth over 90 million just feel different. Haha~"

Wang Simeng then activated five more beginner shopkeeper cards produced by the system.

A flash of white light appeared before them, revealing five people: all 25 years old, handsome, and dressed in identical brocade robes of different colors. Their names were Chu Tianyi, Chu Tianer, Chu Tiansan, Chu Tiansi, and Chu Tianwu. Five protective shields were given to each of them.

Wang Simeng put Chu Tianyi in charge of the shops on the first floor of the mall. Chu Tianer was in charge of the large supermarket on the second floor and the hotel on the adjacent two floors. Chu Tiansan was in charge of the cinema, photo studio, and arcade on the third floor. Chu Tiansi was in charge of the adjacent fried food shop, milk tea shop, and dessert shop.

The protective shields were then given to the five people.

The shopping mall officially opened with drums and gongs, and lion dances to celebrate.

Wang Simeng even had a batch of fireworks and firecrackers set off to add to the festivities. Although the effect of setting them off during the day wasn't as good as at night, she figured it would be nice to have some fun.

In Qingshan City, people with nothing to do came to watch the excitement, and even people from other surrounding cities came, mostly merchants.

The streets were crowded with onlookers. Seeing the prefect and his family approaching Wang Simeng, they all made way for them. They knew the prefect was a good official who did practical things for the people, and the people respected him greatly.

The people were all very curious to see the dignified prefect walking towards a little girl. Someone nearby said, "This girl is the owner of the Wonderful Series Shop. It turns out she knows the prefect."

Everyone strained to hear the news. In the blink of an eye, the rumor that the owner of the Wonderful Series store was a girl spread like wildfire.

On the other end, Wang Simeng cupped her hands in a respectful gesture to the prefect and said, "Thank you, Prefect, for attending our shopping mall's opening ceremony. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will begin shortly; please follow me, Your Excellency."

Wang Ling'er, the daughter of Prefect Wang, winked playfully at Wang Simeng, who was looking so serious.

Wang Simeng returned a smile and led Prefect Wang toward the mall entrance.

A large red brocade plaque hangs above the entrance of the shopping mall. Above the plaque are four large, gold-stamped characters: "Wonderful Shopping Mall".

The area outside the mall was packed with onlookers. When they saw the prefect leading a beautiful young woman over, everyone stopped talking and watched the grand opening ceremony of this extraordinary mall.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the opening ceremony.

The prefect arrived at the entrance of the mall and bowed to Wang Simeng.

Wang Simeng also cupped her hands in a gesture of respect.

"I am truly grateful to the Prefect for attending this opening ceremony," Wang Simeng said to the Prefect with a smile.

"Mr. Wang, you are too kind. I will certainly go to congratulate you on opening your shop," the prefect said with a slight smile.

"Alright, Your Excellency, please follow me inside. I'll show you around the Wonderful Shopping Mall." Wang Simeng led the Prefect into the mall.

"Mr. Wang, do you know how big the Qimiao Shopping Mall is?"

Upon hearing the prefect's words, Wang Simeng chuckled and said:

"The shopping mall covers an area of ​​900 square meters and contains a wide variety of products; it has everything."

Although the mall's area is not as large as in my previous life, it is still large enough for this Qingshan City.

While guiding the prefect on his tour, Wang Simeng explained the layout of the shopping mall to everyone.

Wang Simeng led the way, with the prefect at the front, followed by the prefect's family and some commoners.

As the group strolled along, Wang Simeng introduced the exhibits and explained things to the prefect.

After walking for nearly half an hour, the group finally finished exploring the entire Wonderful Mall.

As the group stepped out of the mall, intending to stroll along the street, Prefect Wang suddenly stopped, then hurried forward, halting before two young men. He bowed deeply, saying, "Your humble servant greets you..."

Before Prefect Wang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the slightly older-looking man in front of him.

The man shook his head at Prefect Wang.

The two men before them were none other than the current emperor's younger brother, and also the current regent, Mo Beichen. Mo Beichen was twenty years old, handsome with striking features, including sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. Tall and slender, he wore a dark blue brocade robe that made him appear imposing and commanding.
