Of course they wanted it. Without spirit stones, let alone producing empty pearls, they wouldn't even be able to keep the empty mulberry trees they currently had alive.
"We will trade with you mineral crystals, beast cores, and empty beads for natural plants and other goods, and exchange empty mulberry trees and their cultivation methods for spirit stones."
Lin Qianqian agreed to the deal. The list of items registered in the mall did not include spirit stones, but she had them.
Not to mention the numerous spiritual veins and countless spirit mines and stones within the Cloud Void Realm, even the blue jade space left to her by Jumang contained mountains of spirit stones—she herself didn't know how many there were. She truly had no shortage of spirit stones. However…
"System, the spirit stones belong to me personally. If I trade them, will I be exempt from paying taxes on the items I receive?" "Host, please don't try to exploit this loophole. You're only able to travel to this plane to trade thanks to the system. If you don't register the items under the mall's name and pay taxes, you won't be able to take a single hair with you. Don't even think about hiding things in the Cloud Void Realm or other spaces; doing so will be punished by the system. Believe me, you can't afford the consequences. So, never even consider tax evasion!"
The system's warning was cold and merciless. Lin Qianqian had no choice; although she felt she was at a disadvantage, the transaction still had to be completed.
Lin Qianqian asked them what kind of spirit stone they wanted. Actually, she was asking what grade of spirit stone they wanted—low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, or top-grade? But Sikong Yi insisted on having the same kind as the one he had.
Lin Qianqian really wanted to advise him to think twice, after all, what he had was just a low-grade spirit stone. But seeing his guarded look, as if to say, "Don't even think about passing off inferior goods as superior ones," Lin Qianqian didn't want to say anything more.
It's quite upsetting to be treated with kindness but misunderstood as malice. Even though the other person lacked knowledge about spirit stones, she didn't want to be a pushover!
However, Lin Qianqian still offered a very reasonable price. After obtaining his brother's consent, Sikong Yi made a deal with Lin Qianqian: he would exchange a storage bag full of green plants and a large number of low-grade spirit stones for all the empty pearls in the Sikong family's inventory, half of his family's empty mulberry trees, and the cultivation method for the empty mulberry trees.
Before nightfall, Sikong Ling would take the supplies and use the guild's teleportation array to Yuecheng to complete the transaction at the mall.
Besides the representatives of various families and guilds enjoying their shopping, the guards and servants who accompanied them also had a great time and shopped to their hearts' content.
When Gu Si'en, the royal official in charge of general affairs, had some free time, he approached Lin Qianqian and said he would report Wu Tianshan's matter to His Majesty. He assured her that His Majesty would handle it and that she shouldn't worry. Lin Qianqian, being tactful, immediately gave him several boxes of fruit, cigarettes, and alcohol.
Afterwards, Gu Si'en gave Lin Qianqian a communicator, agreeing to contact him directly next time she came. Lin Qianqian accepted his kindness, and used the communicator to add the contact numbers of all the representatives. She also brought out dozens of tables of food and distributed them to Qi Xiuhan and Sikong Ling.
Of course, she didn't forget the emperor's share, and had Gu Si'en take twenty tables back with empty beads. Although Ma Bozhou didn't spend any money today, he was shameless enough to take one table with him.
With so many people and so much to do, the transaction with this group wasn't nearly completed until the afternoon. Seeing this, Lin Qianqian simply treated them to dinner, further strengthening their bond.
The Fifth Elder, Qi Xiuhan, and the General Affairs Officer, Gu Si'en, said one would notify the other guild branches to come and make purchases, and the other would notify the city lords of other cities to hurry up and come.
That way, Hua and the others won't need to use the teleportation array to go to other cities for promotions tomorrow; they can stay at the mall and help out. With more manpower, they can let more customers in at once without worrying about being overwhelmed.
As Lin Qianqian closed the shop that evening, she checked her inventory. The group had made a large purchase today; most of the goods in the shop had been sold, and the system had processed 566 transactions—and that was despite the time and number of transactions. It seemed the task would be completed in a couple more days.
Lin Qianqian and the rest of the Qiming team finished cleaning up the mall late at night.
Before going to bed, Lin Qianqian announced that the store would open at 10 a.m. the next day. Everyone except her disagreed, thinking that opening at that time was too late. But Lin Qianqian insisted on going her own way and posted a notice outside announcing the opening hours for the next day.
However, the people guarding the first floor heard a "bang bang" knocking on the door just as dawn broke, but they couldn't open it without Lin Qianqian's permission. They could only stuff cotton in their ears and continue sleeping; as long as no one forced their way in, they didn't care about anything else.
Finally, at five minutes to ten, Lin Qianqian opened the door, and everyone was ready to continue business. Even more people came today; most had received notices from the Royal Family and the Supernatural Abilities Guild yesterday and rushed over overnight.
After two more busy days, the system task was completed.
When the number of transactions on the panel jumped to one thousand, the system's mechanical voice sounded: "First interdimensional transaction mission completed, transaction count 1000/1000. The mission is completed ahead of schedule. The host is free to choose the return time. Please note that you should not exceed the one-month limit stipulated in the mission. We wish the host a happy life and prosperous business."
Perhaps because it was the first time that a transaction task in the interdimensional mall had been officially completed, the system's mechanical voice sounded a little lighter.
Lin Qianqian decided to stay a few more days to sell most of what she brought before going back.
This world lacks greenery, but she is a cultivator, the future Jumang. For her, cultivating plants is as easy as drinking water. She also has many seeds; using magic to cultivate several batches of plants is no problem. Moreover, plants cultivated with wood elemental power have stronger vitality than those that grow normally.
A few days later, she posted a notice on the outer wall of the mall saying that everything was sold out. All the food and drinks in the mall were gone; not even a single packet of salt remained, only the brine in the pickle jars. There were still plenty of supplies left on the third, fourth, and fifth floors, but Lin Qianqian didn't plan to sell them.
Those who didn't get anything were grumbling and complaining, but who can they blame? They should blame themselves for not coming sooner.
Lin Qianqian didn't care about them. She planned to spend three days exploring the world of superpowers before returning.
But for now, let's settle the wages for the Qiming Squad. In addition to the three fruit trees that each person had watered with spiritual spring water, there was also food and fruit that Lin Qianqian had specially left behind, all of which were placed in Qi Lier's empty pearl.
After spending these days together, it's clear that the Qiming Superpower Team is a pretty good team. Although Mingtianhua is a bit naive, he's kind-hearted and easygoing. Qilier is smart and meticulous, Tang Yingying is quick-witted and lively, and the other team members are mostly upright people. Even if there are a few individuals with slightly less than ideal character, with Mingtianhua and Qilier keeping them in check, they don't dare to cause any trouble and just work diligently.
She was fortunate to encounter them first on her first interdimensional trading journey.
Lin Qianqian said she would ask them for help again next time she comes.
