She remembered that in the previous plane, there were 1,000 transactions, and in the plane before that, there were 10,000. She originally thought that this time, there would be at least 20,000 people, if not 100,000.
I didn't expect it to only be seven times? Does that mean there are really very few people left in this world?
This mission is abnormal, it's too strange.
Because she was on the battlefield and the situation was urgent, Lin Qianqian didn't have much time to use her mind-controlling technique. She only saw some important memories and didn't pay attention to many details, so her understanding of this world is not yet comprehensive.
Putting aside his doubts for the moment, he asked Xia Yu, "What do you usually use for transactions?"
Xia Yu said somewhat embarrassedly, "Since the AI rebelled, our digital currency has been unusable. Now, food and daily necessities are scarce in the safe zone, and resources are basically distributed uniformly. Any transactions are barter."
Hearing him say that, Lin Qianqian thought for a moment before saying, "This is a dimensional mall, and everything needs to be traded here."
Lin Qianqian emphasized the word "transaction".
After looking around at the group, he continued, "You can exchange gold and silver jewelry, or you can exchange your world's technological products, such as your weapons, your mechs, your spaceships, and all kinds of technology. Anything I like can be exchanged. Our mall not only has food, but also all kinds of daily necessities."
After saying that, he led them upstairs, and because there were so many people, they took the stairs.
Lin Qianqian and Wen Mingyue walked in front, she wasn't afraid of being attacked from behind.
They are absolutely safe in the mall.
Zhang Laodao stayed on the first floor and did not follow, as did Chuzhou and Luo Zexuan.
He's currently in the conference room, groping and examining the mechs like a pervert, and won't let them do anything else until he's satisfied.
Lin Qianqian led them on a tour from the first to the fourth floor. As the group saw the various foods, their mouths watered and their steps grew heavier.
Seeing all sorts of brand-new and beautiful clothes, I unconsciously tug at my own worn-out clothes, feeling quite embarrassed.
Before this time travel, the fifth floor was slightly modified. The cabinets against the right wall were left untouched, the cars and small helicopters that were originally there were put away, and the empty spaces were divided into small rooms.
Some of these rooms contain martial arts manuals from the high-level martial arts world, which are of course photocopies, but all made in an antique style.
Some display beautiful jewelry, exquisite embroidery, and so on.
One of the rooms contains superpower trees and superpower fruits from the superpower world, though there aren't many of them.
In the adjacent room were specially made cages and glass eco-boxes, with talismans affixed to the boxes, and some mutant beast cubs inside.
Xia Yu and his group were quite familiar with the items on the bottom four shelves.
But the things on the fifth floor were somewhat fantastical to them.
Even more bizarrely, one of them asked, "How many kinds and how many quantities of food do you have on your shelves?"
The store owner nonchalantly replied, "I don't know how much is on the shelves. But what's displayed is only a small portion; we have much more in stock."
More?
Forgive their poor eyesight, but they want to know where more supplies are.
I'd really like to visit.
Lin Qianqian didn't waste any words; she took out the product catalog.
Xia Yu looked at the dazzling array of goods on the shelf, including food, clothing, and other necessities.
Before Xia Yu could ask, Lin Qianqian handed him a storage bag and guided his attention to look inside.
Three minutes later, Xia Yu saw mountains of grain, and he landed in the ocean of grain like a little doll.
After he withdrew his mental energy and regained his composure, Lin Qianqian grabbed his shoulder and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Before anyone else could react, Lin Qianqian appeared again, grabbing him.
His companions surrounded the dazed Xia Yu, asking him what was wrong.
He looked at them unfocused and said, "Lots of grain."
Then he shook his head, trying to clear his confused mind.
He turned to look at Lin Qianqian, and asked with some doubt, "You've mastered space expansion and space folding? Even our scientists haven't mastered this technology. Who exactly are you?"
"We are merchants who travel between dimensions. I have a lot of supplies here, do you need them?"
Lin Qianqian's question was completely unnecessary.
How could they not need it? They need it so badly.
“I know you can’t make the decision. Here’s what we’ll do: you go pick out some items from the shelves and take them back with this catalog to your base leaders so they can decide whether to come and trade.”
Xia Yu was quite decisive. He and the other two mecha warriors, within the limits of Lin Qianqian's tacit approval, picked out several large baskets of things.
Pack it up with curtain fabric from the abandoned building next door and carry it on the back of the mecha.
He and another mech warrior piloted two mechs back to base first, while the last mech warrior and the others stayed behind.
Because moving in large groups is slower, and some people are injured, we decided not to walk together.
The others were initially arranged to stay in a building next to the mall. He and Lin Qianqian agreed that the mall would provide their meals, and someone would come to the mall every day to collect the food.
This arrangement is unavoidable; you can't use any communication devices when you're out and about because the AI can detect your signals. Otherwise, a simple phone call would solve the problem.
Of course, the base will send someone to settle the cost of the meals later. If the base refuses to acknowledge the debt, the mech guarding this place will be used to pay off the debt.
Lin Qianqian affixed concealment and invisibility talismans to Xia Yu and his companion's two mechs to ensure they could return without any obstacles.
Finally, Lin Qianqian instructed Xia Yu: "The mall will wait for you here for five days. If you don't come after five days, we will move to another location."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "If you have the chance, notify the other safe zones and let them come to the mall to make purchases as well. Don't worry, we have plenty of stock."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yu quickly assured him, "We will share information. As fellow human survivors, we won't be so selfish."
Xia Yu and his teammates left temporarily, and the others went to a nearby building to find a place to rest.
After a day of fighting, they were exhausted both mentally and physically, not to mention the wounded.
Although they have received initial treatment, the condition of the two seriously injured individuals is not optimistic. Fortunately, they were given medical kits when they came out.
After all the outsiders left, Lin Qianqian closed the door and convened a discussion meeting with her employees in the rest area on the first floor.
Let's discuss what to do next.
Everyone felt that Lin Qianqian's previous bewitching spell lasted too short a time, and she obtained too little information.
Therefore, we need to find an opportunity to learn more about this world, to see which specific things here are most useful to Yan Kingdom, and strive to exchange for them. We also need to set prices for our own goods.
Chu Zhou examined the firearms that had just been exchanged and found that they were made with technology and weapons that Blue Star did not possess, and their power was greater than any gun on Blue Star.
Not to mention robots and mechs; bringing these technologies and finished products back would greatly advance Yan's technology.
Finally, the four of them unanimously decided to find another person to use their mind-control technique on again, in order to extract more information.
Because Lin Qianqian doesn't understand technology, she will connect with Chu Zhou's divine sense and let him make the judgment and selection.
This system task is also quite strange. Lin Qianqian explained the task to everyone for reference.
The others remained silent. Chu Zhou, biting his fingers, said, "There are too few clues; we can't make any sense of it. But seven transactions might mean that the mall and the seven major bases will have to make at least one transaction each. I suggest we wait and see..."
Before Chu Zhou could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
The five looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blonde, blue-eyed, and stunningly beautiful woman standing outside the glass door, smiling seductively…
