Because Lin Qianqian said that the hundred-table feast she brought back last time was a great help, she wanted to bring more this time.
So this time the plan is to prepare 500 tables, with a wider variety of dishes, including both Chinese and Western food. Anyway, once they're prepared, they won't spoil if we put them in the storage ring.
They also made an additional 1,000 boxed meals, which will be used for staff meals when they hire more people in the next dimension.
Luo Zexuan was in charge of waiting here to pack food, Wen Mingyue was organizing and stocking goods in the mall, and Lin Qianqian was carrying a spatial magic item to pack things everywhere.
Compared to last time, this time there are more types and quantities of items, and a lot of weapons are also included, along with some large vehicles.
Needless to say, the vehicles included bicycles, tricycles, cars, trucks, excavators, airplanes, tanks, and ships—a considerable number of them, in addition to those powered by diesel and gasoline. There were also modified vehicles powered by mineral crystals from the supernatural realm; a single energy crystal could power a car until it was scrapped. However, due to the high cost of these mineral crystals, the quantity brought was limited.
I brought all sorts of medicines, both traditional Chinese and Western, and even surgical instruments. I didn't know what world I'd end up in, so I brought everything I could.
Needless to say, they brought even more grain than last time; Yan Kingdom already had ample grain reserves. However, to ensure even more food, they recently implemented a policy to encourage farmers to grow grain, and fertile land was strictly prohibited from being used for other purposes or left fallow. They brought all sorts of food and entertainment—everything they could think of.
Last time, although Lin Qianqian brought out many items from the cultivation world, everyone was still somewhat skeptical about whether interdimensional trade was possible. But as everyone saw, Lin Qianqian and her group were indeed able to exchange items from another world.
Therefore, this time the cargo for the interdimensional travel was prepared more thoroughly, as if Lin Qianqian could pack as much as she could.
The product arrangement in the mall has also been slightly adjusted. After all, many new varieties have been added this time, and the shelves have been raised to accommodate more goods. And what if something is too high to reach? Each shelf is thoughtfully equipped with a sliding ladder, so no matter how high it is, there's no problem.
I also brought some items from the supernatural world, hoping to find a chance to exchange them for better items.
On this last day, Lin Qianqian explained the rules of the mall to Luo Zexuan and Wen Mingyue, as well as the functions of the mall's infrastructure and some time-travel experience. Actually, there wasn't much experience to pass on, as Lin Qianqian herself had only traveled through two worlds.
The three discussed many things in bits and pieces, such as whether, after arriving in the new plane, they should first find a weak intelligent being, use a mind-controlling technique to figure out the general situation of the plane, and then conduct the transaction.
If it's an ancient world, their clothing is fine. But if it's a modern world, then activate the robe function to quickly change the style of their robes.
When the drawer of the dimensional shop's cashier was filled with storage magic items and empty beads, everything was ready, waiting only for the journey to the other side...
The mall landed in the middle of the night. It was pitch black outside and we couldn't see anything. We just felt that it was next to some kind of building.
Lin Qianqian opened the door and stood at the entrance of the mall. She first sensed her surroundings. There was a thin layer of spiritual energy in the air, slightly better than on Blue Star. If there were cultivators in this plane, their cultivation levels wouldn't be too high.
Unleashing their divine senses and scanning the surrounding ten miles, they discovered they had landed beside a dilapidated temple. In a room to the left of the temple, more than a dozen guards surrounded a richly dressed man. Their auras varied in strength, but they were certainly not ordinary people.
In the largest room on the right, there was also a group of people resting. A powerful force flowed within their bodies; this force wasn't spiritual energy, but rather resembled the internal energy of legends on Earth. The one with the highest cultivation level was already very close to Foundation Establishment.
It seems they might have really traveled to a martial arts world. Lin Qianqian returned to the mall and informed Luo Zexuan and Wen Mingyue of the situation. The three discussed it for a while and decided to first point the surveillance cameras at the dilapidated temple to monitor them, while they themselves went to rest for a bit.
Although she was supposed to rest, Lin Qianqian wasn't sleepy at all. Looking at her system panel, she wanted to check if any tasks had been refreshed.
Dimensional Travel Trading System (Activated) Host: Lin Qianqian
Planetary plane: 1314 (Blue Star)
Crossing Points: 260
Dimensional Shop: Now Open
Mall Level: 1
Mall Building: 1 building (Dimensional Mall Blue Star Store)
Mall employees: 2
Shop items: Unlocked
Task: 10,000 participants, trading period: two months.
Last time it was a thousand transactions, this time it's ten thousand transactions, which means the workload has increased tenfold.
However, she had just used her divine sense to check and found that there was no one around for ten miles. How was she supposed to complete this task?
Lin Qianqian was worried and was just about to ask the system when things got lively outside. The mall was well soundproofed, but the three people living inside were all cultivators, and they could hear even the slightest sound.
Lin Qianqian hadn't slept, so she was the first to hear it. Luo Zexuan, being a soldier, was highly vigilant and immediately got up upon hearing the noise. Wen Mingyue was a little slower, but she also quickly came downstairs.
The three of them looked out the second-floor window. Although it was dark, Lin Qianqian's cultivation was high and her eyesight was excellent, so she could see everything clearly. Luo Zexuan and Wen Mingyue had lower cultivation levels, but they had also undergone a process of cleansing their marrow and tendons during Qi Refining, making them sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and they could also get a general idea of what was happening outside.
Just now, a group of men in black chased after the people inside the dilapidated temple and started fighting with them. A burly man in tight-fitting clothes was seen running across the rooftops of the temple, pursued by a masked man in black. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that neither of their feet touched the ground; they only occasionally touched the tiles with their toes.
"Wow, that's qinggong (lightness skill), it's qinggong, right?" As a soldier, Luo Zexuan shouted loudly without any regard for his image.
Looking down into the dilapidated courtyard, two figures, one fat and one thin, were working together to fight against a man in a black cloak. As the two attacked, phantom images of tigers and cranes would occasionally appear behind them. The man in the black cloak was no weakling either; two balls of flame floated in his palms, and he fought the two men to a standstill.
Then, back and forth, more and more people clashed in a chaotic melee. A palm strike shattered the gate with a gust of wind, a punch froze the opponent with icy air; the fight looked like it had special effects.
"Is this really not a cultivator?" The composed Wen Mingyue couldn't help but ask Lin Qianqian.
"It shouldn't be. What they contain isn't spiritual energy." Actually, Lin Qianqian was also a little puzzled. The effect of this move was a bit exaggerated. Many of her spells didn't have the same impact as these moves.
The most interesting one was the old Taoist priest with the strongest aura. With each movement of his hands, the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos appeared and disappeared beneath his feet, making the three of them wonder once again if they had transmigrated to a mythological world.
After sensing the concentration of spiritual energy in the air again, he dismissed the idea, concluding that this kind of spiritual environment could not possibly be a world of cultivation or mythology!
Perhaps sensing Lin Qianqian's intense emotional turmoil, the system spoke up: "This time, the mall has traveled to a high-martial arts world. It's a rare opportunity, so please make the most of it, host."
Lin Qianqian was startled. The system rarely spoke on its own initiative, so she quickly seized the opportunity to ask, "A high-martial arts world? What's the difference between it and a martial arts world?"
"Simply put, if we categorize martial arts worlds, we can divide them into: general martial arts worlds where one can cultivate some internal energy and improve physical health, and high-level martial arts worlds where one can cultivate profound internal energy and have the opportunity to progress from acquired to innate, which is to say, to enter the Dao through martial arts and cultivate qi and immortality."
Oh, now she understands. Above high martial arts is immortal cultivation! They're really lucky this time, having transmigrated to a high martial arts world. They must exchange for as many martial arts manuals as possible to take back with them!
