Lin Qianqian asked first, "How much time has passed here since I brought the mall with me this time?" Tang Dezhong said, "Half a month."
The system had previously stated that no matter how long one stays in other dimensions, only half a month will pass on Earth.
Last time, she traveled to the cultivation world alone and stayed there for nearly a hundred years, but only half a month had passed since she returned. This time, she traveled to the supernatural world, completed her mission ahead of schedule, and stayed for less than ten days, but fifteen days had already passed on Earth.
This fully proves two points: first, the flow of time is different in each dimension; second, the system is indeed very powerful and can control time.
So, what kind of entity stands behind this system?
Lin Qianqian gave a general account of her time-travel experience. Actually, there were surveillance cameras inside and outside the mall, which they would definitely watch later.
After listening to Lin Qianqian's account, Tang and Chen were both happy about their gains and lamented the high-powered, low-quality life in the world of superpowered individuals. Hearing that Lin Qianqian had clashed with other superpowered people several times, they were filled with worry and their emotions fluctuated.
After Lin Qianqian finished speaking, she took out a drawer full of storage magic items and scanned it with her divine sense. Sure enough, about half of the items were missing, and 49% of the tax had been deducted.
She told the two of them about the situation, and Tang Dezhong nodded to indicate that he understood: "It's nothing, we already knew this beforehand. Time travel definitely requires a lot of energy, so paying taxes is only right, we understand."
As Tang Dezhong spoke, he took the items from Lin Qianqian's hands and listened to her explain what was inside the storage magic treasure.
As Lin Qianqian described the items, Chen Dinghai, who was taking notes, found his hand holding the recorder trembling uncontrollably.
Oh! Don't get me wrong, he didn't have a stroke, nor did he suddenly develop Alzheimer's. He was excited, trembling with joy—superpowers! The people of Yan also had the chance to acquire superpowers.
He praised himself for using a voice recorder instead of a pen and notebook this time, otherwise he definitely wouldn't have been able to write with his hands shaking like that.
After handing over the items, Lin Qianqian instructed, "Although the system says that plants with supernatural abilities won't erode or assimilate the air and land of Blue Star, we still need to be careful. Plants traded back from the supernatural world should still be grown in isolation, and beasts and other items should be managed centrally."
Tang Dezhong and the others nodded in agreement, indicating that they would report Qianqian's opinion.
Lin Qianqian also joked with Tang Dezhong that his insistence on bringing a hundred tables of food had been very effective, and that he should prepare more next time.
He then checked his system panel: 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 staff: 0/10
Shop items: Unlocked
Task: None
According to the system, the online store can hire two employees this time. As planned, we'll hire people who understand business and are good at negotiation. We should get this done as soon as possible, don't forget.
"Old Tang, we can hire two mall employees this time. One should be good at business and negotiation, and the other should be good at diplomacy. I'll leave this to you. Once you've selected the candidates, bring them over to sign the employee contracts."
"All kinds of talents are ready and can come to report for duty at any time." Seeing that the country had arranged everything properly, Lin Qianqian stopped talking and continued to study the information on the panel.
Let's do the math. This time, I only got 85 points from the time travel. After deducting the 5 points for scanning and the 10 points deducted for bringing back some items, I have 70 points left. She had 190 points last time. I don't know how the system calculates it.
I thought I'd better ask, "System, why is there such a big difference in the points I got from the two time travels?"
"Host level is insufficient, system permissions are inadequate to answer."
hehe……
Seeing that Lin Qianqian was alright, Tang Dezhong and Chen Dinghai left in a hurry to go back and report.
Lin Qianqian also returned to her room. She planned to rest for two days before going into seclusion. For some reason, as soon as she returned to Blue Star, her cultivation level broke through uncontrollably. She had a premonition that her Nascent Soul Tribulation would soon arrive.
Lin Qianqian put everything aside, took a nice bath, and went to bed.
Elsewhere at the base, the lights remained on. To facilitate the research of what they had brought back, many experts and scholars had signed confidentiality agreements and moved in.
Even though it's the middle of the night, no one is going to sleep; everyone is gathered in a large hall.
This time, we brought back quite a lot of things, all from the fantasy world. Therefore, experts and professors in animals, plants, energy, chemistry, physics, mechanics, and more have gathered here.
Those whose majors match the job are fine, those whose majors are related are also acceptable, but those whose majors are completely unrelated are also forced to come up with a claim that they are related to some aspect of their research.
Many experts initially listened patiently to Tang Dezhong's report, but Tang Dezhong kept rambling on and on with official jargon, without revealing anything about the supernatural world.
Gradually, some people became impatient, and before long, an elderly academician with gray hair and a bad temper slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"You little rascal, Tang, you're so talkative and incessant. Who wants to listen to your nonsense? Hand over the stuff now."
"Yes, we're not your subordinates, why should we listen to your long-winded speech? Stop talking nonsense and show us what you have to say."
More and more academicians and experts stood up to denounce Tang Dezhong. Left with no other option, he ended his speech with just a few words.
Actually, he was quite excited and said a few extra words. But these old men and women are so fickle! They were so enthusiastic towards him when he first entered the venue, but their attitude changed so quickly!
However, he couldn't afford to offend any of the people present, so he could only lead them to a large warehouse and prepare to take things out of his storage magic treasure.
However, he couldn't open the first storage space he picked up, the one that held the live cubs; Lin Qianqian had to do it herself. The second one, the one holding the supernatural tree, he couldn't open either, so he put it down with an embarrassed smile.
Amidst the impatient gazes of the group, he picked up the third one. Fortunately, it was a low-grade storage bag containing energy crystals. He concentrated his mental energy to open the bag and slowly took things out.
Having just begun his cultivation and not yet able to draw in Qi, he was already drenched in sweat after only taking out a few items. Faced with the crowd waiting with eyes blazing with anger, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Fairy Qianqian, save my life!
So Lin Qianqian was woken up after only half an hour of sleep. Luckily, she hadn't entered the spatial dimension. After learning the reason, she was both amused and exasperated, blaming herself for her miscalculation in not considering that they couldn't produce the goods. She had no choice but to resign herself to getting up and working.
Lin Qianqian was quick to act, emptying a bag of things in just a few seconds. She could accurately make the live plants fly one by one into the flowerpots and stand upright. As for the mutant beast cubs, she could put them into the room one by one and even put a reinforcement talisman on the door.
When the experts saw these miraculous methods for the first time, some exclaimed that they were unscientific, while others were so excited that they almost fainted.
Lin Qianqian had no choice but to order two large buckets of water to be brought over, and toss in a Nourishing Essence Pill. After it dissolved, she had each person drink a small cup. The old experts, knowing that this was a pill from the cultivation world that could strengthen the body, refused to drink it and insisted on taking it for research.
Forced to do this, Lin Qianqian cast a spell to freeze them in place, and then had the soldiers force each of them to drink a cup.
One of the things she donated to the country last time was a bottle of this kind of elixir; if research were to begin, it would have started long ago instead of waiting until now.
After everything was taken out, the several large warehouses that had been prepared in advance were filled.
Lin Qianqian left without saying goodbye; anyway, those old men and women were ignoring her now.
