Afterwards, Lin Qianqian was arranged to rest at a nearby hotel, and Tang Dezhong personally escorted the things she took out to Kyoto as quickly as possible.
In a highly confidential room, a number of leaders and experts gathered.
Following Lin Qianqian's instructions, Tang Dezhong picked up a storage bag and focused intently on reaching inside. After struggling for over ten minutes, he finally retrieved a portion of it. Seeing the table overflowing with items poured from the palm-sized bag, the onlookers gasped and clutched their chests in unison…
Many of the older experts stuffed quick-acting heart pills into their mouths, and then pounced on the patient with a speed that was completely out of character for their age.
The Second Elder, who had come to watch, was also shocked, his heart pounding. Hearing about it and seeing it with his own eyes were two completely different things. Cultivating immortality, achieving eternal life! Now the legend had become reality, seemingly within reach.
In the past two years, some strange and mysterious events have occurred all over the world. The country has set up special departments to deal with them, but there has been little success. We should not have to worry about it in the future.
The next day, Lin Qianqian arrived at a military region in H province by military aircraft. Besides Tang Dezhong, Chen Dinghai, the head of the military region, was there to pick her up; judging from his shoulder insignia, he was of a high rank.
Tang Dezhong explained that Chen Dinghai would be fully responsible for her safety from now on. Lin Qianqian greeted the soldiers who came to protect her very politely.
After the two got to know each other, Tang Dezhong got straight to the point: "The higher-ups have already seen what you gave them. They trust your experience and agree to the cooperation you proposed. You said you'd bring the mall on a time-travel adventure next time, so what are your requirements for the mall's architecture? Are there any regulations regarding the types and quantities of goods?"
Lin Qianqian did not answer immediately. Instead, she reached out and tapped her time-travel wristwatch, and a virtual panel that only she could see appeared.
Dimensional Travel Trading System (Activated) Host: Lin Qianqian
Planetary plane: 1314 (Blue Star)
Crossing Points: 190
Dimensional Shop: Now Open
Mall Level: 1
Mall Building: 1 building (Dimensional Mall Blue Star Store) Upgradeable
Mall employees: 0
Shop items: Unlocked
Task: None
"I have a shopping mall gifted to me by the system. You can only see its appearance after it's taken out. Find a place for me to put it out. You just need to prepare the goods. I believe the government will definitely consider things more thoroughly than I have. Also, prepare talents who are good at diplomacy and business. I can sign employees when I come back next time I travel through time."
Then he relayed the system's eleven rules to them, and explained in detail the randomness of the trial planes, the other transmigrators, and so on.
As they walked and talked, they soon arrived at an open space in the northwest corner of the military area. Lin Qianqian took out the in-game store gifted to her by the system; it was small and exquisite, like a model.
She gestured left and right, mentally calculating which direction would be more suitable to place it.
At this moment, the system notification sounded: "Host, once the basic store is placed, it cannot be moved or stored in your space at will, so you need to choose a good location before placing the store."
"Ah, I can't move around or access the storage space freely?"
"Yes, the basic system store does not have these functions; only the advanced store has many of them."
Really? There are so many rules!
Lin Qianqian took a long time to think, and Tang Dezhong thought there was something wrong with the place, so he asked, "Can't we put it here? Or should we go somewhere else?"
"Oh, no, no, this place is fine."
He then chose a spot, threw the model to the ground, and with a "bang," the model quickly grew larger after landing, transforming into a five-story building covering more than a thousand square meters.
Well, calling it a mall is a bit of a stretch; it's more like a large supermarket. But the system says it can be upgraded.
The entire building has off-white walls, and the words "Dimensional Mall" are displayed above the main entrance. Inside, apart from the staircase, it's completely empty.
No wonder the guidelines say they can be modified appropriately. But this is far from something that can be modified "appropriately." Without major changes, it won't even resemble an online store.
After seeing the house, Lin Qianqian handed over the decoration and layout rights to Tang Dezhong and became a hands-off manager.
Afterwards, she was taken to the military district guesthouse to rest. After entering the room, she first scanned the surroundings with her divine sense and then set up an isolation array before she felt safe to enter the Cloud Void Realm.
She needed to seize the time to cultivate, for strength was the key to everything. She had told Tang Dezhong in advance that she was going into seclusion and not to disturb her, and that they could talk when she came out of seclusion.
Lin Qianqian often thought that the trials arranged by the system, although dangerous, also presented great opportunities, in order to enable transmigrators to acquire the ability to protect themselves and prepare for future transmigrations.
Because ordinary people can't survive in a dangerous world, let alone trade. No wonder the system said the trial planes are just a way to give away freebies.
More than a month later, one morning, just as Lin Qianqian emerged from quarantine, Chen Dinghai and Tang Dezhong came to her, saying that the mall's decorations were finished and that Lin Qianqian should come and inspect them.
This military region is more than ten kilometers away from the nearest village or town, with continuous mountains on the other side.
"This way, and that way, that's the area for interdimensional transactions." Tang Dezhong pointed to where he was standing and then to the foot of the mountain.
"Many areas will be set up here, and many houses will be built. In the future, it will become the most important place in Yan Kingdom and even Blue Star, and you will be the manager of this area."
"Me?" Lin Qianqian was taken aback.
"Yes!" Tang Dezhong said cheerfully, "The Yan Kingdom Congress has specially approved the establishment of the Blue Star Dimensional Trading Bureau, and you are the director, I am the deputy director and logistics minister, and Chen Dinghai is in charge of security here."
"Yes, yes, I'll be your security captain from now on," Chen Dinghai joked along.
After that, everyone turned their attention back to the mall, which had undergone a complete transformation, both inside and out. The exterior had been painted and decorated, and colorful lights had been installed over the four characters "Dimensional Mall." Streetlights had been installed on all four walls, and hidden surveillance cameras had been added. There were solar panels on the roof, and of course, the mall could also generate electricity with diesel generators if necessary.
Each floor has several windows on all four sides. The transparent glass windows are very sturdy and were provided by the mall. However, now, traps and weapons have been installed behind the windows.
The mall also has elevators, located in a different direction from the staircases. Additionally, each floor is equipped with surveillance cameras. After returning from the other world, the bureau will organize experts to review all the surveillance footage and study the alternate dimension.
The main entrance on the first floor, which also came with the mall, was made of some unknown material, but it was extremely sturdy and impervious to artillery fire.
When Tang Dezhong was explaining, Lin Qianqian really wanted to know if they had really bombarded the door with cannons. But she didn't dare to ask; whatever they said was true.
The main door is transparent, like glass, so an additional roller shutter was added to block the view.
To the left of the entrance is a cashier counter, currently empty and clean. Behind the counter, on a long table, are two computers and a printer. Next to it is a small table and chairs, and finally, against the wall, a long sofa, all for them to rest on.
To the right of the door stood a custom-made wooden shelf filled with flowerpots containing various fruit tree seedlings and flowering plants. The other areas were also not empty; rows of shelves were neatly arranged, filled with rice, flour, cooking oil, seasonings, vegetables, and fruits.
The second floor features a variety of snacks, beverages, alcoholic drinks, and frozen ready-to-eat products. The third floor offers daily necessities, toiletries, cosmetics, stationery, toys, and baby products. On the left side of the fourth floor are clothing, shoes, hats, bags, and home textiles. On the right are books, audio-visual products, home appliances, and a few bicycles and tricycles.
On the right side of the fifth floor, against the wall, are two large cabinets fitted with bulletproof glass, containing various firearms, knives, and swords.
In the middle was a cool little car and a small helicopter.
To the left is the living area, in the middle next to the stairs is the kitchen and shared bathroom, and then there is the meeting room. Further on, there are three suites, each divided into two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom, all fully furnished and equipped.
Back on the first floor, Lin Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection to the layout of the lower four floors. The goods are quite complete and there are many kinds, but the quantity of each kind is too small. But there's nothing we can do about it. The mall is only so big, and it's already pretty good that it can hold all of this. How about we turn the living area on the left side of the fifth floor into a warehouse and take more things to the other world?"
