That afternoon, whether it was due to the publicity of the Qiming Squad or the guild's initiative in purchasing, many powerful and wealthy families and superpowered teams from Yuecheng came.
Each of these forces would approach Lin Qianqian and give her a thorough explanation of their background, strength, number of experts, and the treasures and mines under their jurisdiction. With this know-it-all around, Lin Qianqian saved a lot of effort and knew how to trade with them.
It was then that Lin Qianqian learned that Tang Yingying was actually a wealthy young lady. Although her family wasn't large, they owned considerable businesses. After she sent a message back to her family, her grandfather immediately led a group of relatives to purchase supplies. Considering Tang Yingying's wholehearted help and how much trouble she had caused, Lin Qianqian gave the Tang family a 10% discount.
Among the families and gangs that came, there were quite a few young ladies and gentlemen. Besides food, other items were finally being sold. This time, in addition to clothes and cosmetics, some daily necessities were sold, and even a few bicycles were sold.
Lin Qianqian had originally intended to promote the motorcycles and cars in her storage bag, but after asking around, she learned that this world didn't have gasoline as an energy source. Transportation consisted of similar flying cars and spaceships, but all were powered by mineral crystal beast cores.
That was something she hadn't considered; she should have traded some of this world's transportation with Ma Bozhou. However, she'd heard that the guild didn't have many flying cars, as the technology was controlled by the royal family, and the best flying cars and airships were all produced by the empire.
Another option is to use tamed alien beasts. Of course, some people ride alien beasts directly, but the number is relatively small. The reason is that taming requires feeding a lot of natural plants, and not many people can afford to raise them.
Speaking of this, Lin Qianqian remembered that she didn't have many flying cubs among the ones she traded. She needed to trade more so that they could grow up and be cool as mounts.
Sigh, there are many spirit beasts in the Cloud Void Realm, and they are very intelligent, but she can't just take them out casually. The system's warnings and restrictions are still echoing in her ears. (?_?) *crying* She's guarding a treasure trove, but she can't use it. Who can understand this pain!
What gave Lin Qianqian the biggest headache was dealing with those who took advantage of their large purchasing volume to haggle and argue with her, which really exhausted her.
She made up her mind that once she traveled back in time, she would first recruit employees who could do business and were good at talking. She no longer wanted to deal with these messy affairs. If things continued like this, even if she was a cultivator, she would eventually collapse.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Lin Qianqian turned on all the streetlights on the exterior wall of the mall. There were still many people queuing outside. What to do? Should they stay open all night? No, absolutely not. Working overtime was out of the question.
Over here, the guild leader, vice-leader, and two subordinates of Yuecheng Guild were about to return to the guild. They had originally planned to leave right after shopping. However, seeing that the three of them had worked hard for a long time sorting out the goods, Lin Qianqian offered them tea.
To her surprise, these people chatted with her while eating, and it's already dragged on until now. Since it's almost dinnertime, she might as well treat them to dinner!
There weren't many customers going up to the fifth floor, so she chose a corner, took out the storage ring that contained food, put a table full of food there, and then had the six temporary workers take turns going upstairs to eat.
It was her carelessness; as a cultivator, she didn't need to eat every meal, so she forgot about lunch, leaving these six people hungry as well. These people were too honest; they didn't even mention it. Oh well, she'll let them eat more at dinner to make up for lunch.
On the fifth floor, a few people sat at the dining table, looking at the exquisite food on the table and smelling the enticing aroma, their mouths watering involuntarily.
Each table has four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, eight cold dishes, four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, eight hot dishes, a large pot of soup, a large plate of fruit, two plates of dessert, a large bowl of noodles, and a large pot of rice, with 22 bowls and plates per table. The portions are very generous; not like the kind in modern luxury hotels where a plate the size of a washbasin holds a small amount of food, but rather, each dish is a large portion. Each table also has a large bottle of cola, a large bottle of juice, and beer, red wine, and spirits.
Lin Qianqian's storage ring contained 5 tables of the same dishes and drinks, totaling 20 different items and 100 tables. It's likely that when Tang Dezhong advised her to bring them along, the logistics team had already considered this possibility; no wonder Tang Dezhong insisted on preparing these meals.
The storage ring was insulated, so when Lin Qianqian took out the food, the steaming aroma whetted everyone's appetite. If the guild leader and vice-leader hadn't been present and others hadn't been mindful of their image, some would have already drooled on the table.
Lin Qianqian waved her hand and said, "I have something to do, so I won't eat with you. Please don't be shy, eat as much as you want. If you're not full, just call me. I'm downstairs."
After Lin Qianqian left, Ma Bozhou, as the person of the highest status at the table, was the first to pick up his chopsticks. At first, he was somewhat reserved, eating with a touch of elegance, but seeing everyone else, including the vice president, wolfing down their food, he stopped being polite. He grabbed large pieces of food with his chopsticks and shoveled rice into his mouth!
In less than half an hour, the group had devoured every last drop of food on the table, leaving not even a drop of broth, and the plates didn't even need washing. Are all superhumans this good eaters?
As the president and vice president of the Superpower Guild walked out of the mall with their pregnant bellies, they turned back, pried off the gems and beast cores from their staffs, weapons, clothes, and hats, exchanged them for several cases of fine wine, and finally left satisfied.
They assured Lin Qianqian that they would send messages to other supernatural guilds in other cities to promote the online store. They even shamelessly accepted the bribes Lin Qianqian offered—a large box of tea for each of them.
It's completely dark now, and the number of transactions on the system panel has exceeded 200. This is with the number of people allowed to enter restricted; without restrictions, most of the task could be completed today.
But we don't have enough manpower, and we can't keep up with the speed of restocking. It seems we'll have to hire a few more people to help tomorrow.
Many of the people who came today brought communication devices. She saw that many people took photos and posted them on the forum. Tomorrow, many people from other cities will come.
Lin Qianqian wanted to close the shop and rest, but there was still a long queue outside. She asked them to come back tomorrow, but they all refused and almost got into a fight. She had to send her team out to persuade them, and finally, having no other choice, she forcefully closed the door.
She then had Tang Yingying make a call to Ming Tianhua, asking the rest of Qiming's team to come over early the next day. These six people wouldn't leave today; they would spend the night at the mall.
The Qiming team was quite responsible. The three men wanted to stay on the first floor to keep watch at night, because they were afraid that some thieves might sneak in and steal things in the middle of the night.
Lin Qianqian felt that the mall had security measures both inside and out, so there was no need for night watch. But thinking about this world of superpowers, where people's abilities were all kinds of strange and wonderful, she was afraid that it would be impossible to defend against them all. So she agreed to the three's suggestion and gave them bedding to sleep on the floor on the first floor.
Sure enough, around 2 a.m., the system's security alarm went off. Someone was attacking the protective shield, but the defensive arrays on the roof and walls weren't activated, so the attack could only be coming from underground.
Lin Qianqian checked the system and it showed that an unidentified object was trying to intrude into the mall.
