Ma Bozhou flipped through the product catalog while placing his order. "Three boxes of the sweet milk candy, ten boxes of the delicious bread, a ton of apples, and rice..."
After deciding on the types and quantities to buy, Ma Bozhou and Lin Qianqian engaged in a heated bargaining session. Ma Bozhou shamelessly feigned poverty and played the victim, just to buy an extra half-pound of rice and flour.
Lin Qianqian doesn't have dementia and clearly remembers that half an hour ago, this old man was so wealthy that he wanted to buy everything in the mall.
It hasn't been long, and he's already become a stingy old man who's calculating every penny.
Ma Bozhou was also wronged. How could he have known there were so many good things? Of course, he had to stuff as much as he could into his pocket...
Ma Bozhou used a communicator to inform his vice president of the situation here, delegating authority to him to mobilize all the resources in the Yuecheng Guild and send them here to exchange for goods.
He also took stock of all his personal assets, as he was preparing for a big shopping spree today.
The Yuecheng Supernatural Abilities Guild traded beast cores, beast meat, supernatural fruits, crystal bags, supernatural trees, supernatural beasts, weapons and leather armor, gold and gems, and a warehouse full of energy ore crystals for a considerable amount of vegetables and fruits, candies and drinks, and various plant seeds, most importantly, live green plants.
Ma Bozhou's eyes were practically glued to the fruit-bearing trees; he wanted every kind, but he really didn't have any money.
Lin Qianqian's pinky ring contained not only a large number of vegetable and fruit seeds, potted plants, and saplings, but also rows of fruit-bearing trees neatly planted in the ground.
While waiting for the vice president to bring the gifts, Ma Bozhou found several energy mineral crystals on his person and gave them to Lin Qianqian as a gift.
"You treated me to a meal, so these little trinkets are a return gift. They're similar to the energy crystals we'll use to pay the bill later, except these have some properties."
Lin Qianqian readily accepted it, and in front of him, she scanned it at the magic cash register to confirm that this energy mineral crystal contained enormous energy.
Lin Qianqian frankly admitted that she didn't know much about this kind of energy mineral crystal and asked Ma Bozhou to introduce it. Ma Bozhou found this request somewhat strange.
In fact, he had many guesses in his mind, but he was a smart man and knew that he could see through things but didn't say them.
Lin Qianqian wasn't afraid of him guessing anything; the system assured her that she was invincible in this mall.
Ma Bozhou didn't waste any time and started explaining: "Energy mineral crystals are divided into those with no attribute and those with an attribute. Those with no attribute are common and have a wide range of uses. Besides being able to be inlaid into weapons and scepters, they can also be used in tools and instruments. Those with an attribute are less common, but they are very useful to elemental ability users and elemental ability beasts."
Lin Qianqian roughly knows what this is. She'll take it back for the energy experts to study; they'll probably like it a lot.
In addition, Lin Qianqian was very interested in the upcoming alien beast cubs. Ma Bozhou explained that as long as the alien beast cubs are fed a mixture of ordinary vegetables, fruits, and meat from a young age, they will become docile, will not attack people casually, and are easy to tame.
Unfortunately, natural plants are scarce in the supernatural dimension, so few people would do this, resulting in a limited number of fully domesticated supernatural beasts.
But Earth has no shortage of food; it can afford to eat as many natural plants as it wants. If Yan Kingdom weren't currently lacking the strength to suppress them, she would even want to exchange some adult alien beasts for her own zoo; it would definitely be a booming business.
Before long, the vice president arrived with supplies. As expected of the Superpower Guild, even though it was only a branch, they managed to trade two storage bags containing food and daily necessities that were not available in this world.
If we take the exchanged superpower trees back to Earth and plant them, will they assimilate Earth's vegetation and soil?
Lin Qianqian asked the system about this question, and the system's answer was no.
The plants and animals of this world mutated because of the great catastrophe of that time. To be precise, it was because the air and soil of this alternate dimension contained special substances left over from the catastrophe, which altered the environment and affected the plants and animals, causing them to mutate.
Although the bodies of the supernatural trees and supernatural beasts contain small amounts of special substances, they do not affect the air and soil of Earth. Instead, they are purified by Earth's environment, retaining only their supernatural abilities.
Lin Qianqian was relieved and very satisfied with the deal.
Ma Bozhou was also very satisfied. He continued drinking his juice and eating strawberries, watching the vice president lead two subordinates to inventory the items they had exchanged. He believed that with these items, their Yuecheng Superpower Guild would rise even higher in the rankings of the superpower world.
Before the vice president had even finished taking inventory, a large crowd had already arrived at the mall entrance. They had all come after hearing about the Qiming Squad's promotions or seeing the advertisements on the public channel, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
I was initially skeptical, but all my doubts disappeared after stepping into the mall.
All everyone could do was buy, buy, buy, and regret that they had so few things to trade. They had clearly said they only accepted barter, so why didn't they bring more?
The mall suddenly saw a surge in foot traffic. With no other option, Lin Qianqian instructed Kaili, the superhuman who worked as the doorman, to only let 20 people in at a time, with each person allowed one hour to shop.
This is also for everyone's safety, and besides, the mall currently has limited staff and insufficient capacity to handle customers.
After working for quite a while, Lin Qianqian looked at the system panel and saw that she had already achieved one-tenth of her goal of one thousand transactions. At this rate, she could complete the task in just a few days.
Just as Lin Qianqian was secretly pleased, a quarrel broke out at the door.
A fat man dressed in jewels, leading a group of his men, was seen shoving and pushing Kelly.
His lackeys were still cursing, "Are you blind? Don't you even recognize our young master? Believe me, with one word from our young master, you won't be able to stay in Yuecheng."
Kelly was an honest man who wasn't very good at talking. He stammered as he explained, "This is a rule set by the mall owner. Everyone has to queue up, no matter who they are."
The fat man was probably used to being arrogant. Before Kelly could finish speaking, he waved his hand, and his men rushed up and ganged up on Kelly.
Upon seeing this, the people in line scattered in a flash. It was also the first time Lin Qianqian had ever witnessed a battle between superpowered individuals.
Suddenly, one of the fat man's men produced a fireball and hurled it at Kelly without warning.
Based on Lin Qianqian's limited understanding of this world, this person is an elemental fire-type ability user.
The other person pointed at Kelly, and Kelly's hand instantly twisted. Lin Qianqian judged that this person should be a mental or telekinetic ability user.
Kaili was hit by two waves of attacks and cried out in pain. His body then swelled dramatically, leaping to over three meters tall. Thick fur grew on his body and face, and his mouth and nose began to deform. A few seconds later, he transformed into a large black bear, roaring as he charged towards the people opposite him.
Unfortunately, before they could get close, they were overturned to the ground by an unseen force.
A burly superhuman wielding a spiked club tried to deliver a fatal blow to Kaili, but was struck by a whip and sent flying seven or eight meters away.
