Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1296 Setting up a stall
"You've been back for four or five months now, haven't you?" Shi Lan calculated.

"Yes." Shi Jia nodded.

"Oh, then you'll be here soon too." Shi Lan's tone was more relieved, and gloating.

"What's so urgent?" Shi Jia asked curiously. Judging from Shi Lan's expression, it didn't seem to be anything important.

"You don't know?" Shi Lan immediately noticed the other person's confusion and raised an eyebrow.

What should I know?

"Hehe, it's nothing, you'll know in another month." Shi Lan chuckled mischievously.

Shi Jia was in a good mood and was happy to play along with Shi Lan, so she pretended to be anxious and pounced on Shi Lan like a vicious dog, "Sister Shi Lan, tell me quickly what it is!"

"Let go, I'm going to crush your vegetables."

"It's okay, just eat it yourself if you get it pressed down. Sister, please tell me." Shi Jia persisted.

Shi Lan, however, wasn't buying it. Or rather, she was waiting to see Shi Jia's expression on the day she was "expelled" from the clan! Well, although she wouldn't see it, since she was leaving tomorrow, she could imagine it.

The thought of Shi Jia's discomfiture made her happy. Hmph! She can't always have it so easy!
So how could Shi Lan possibly tell Shi Jia?

That's right. Although the Time Clan's territory is a safe haven for every Time Clan member, each member, oh, except for the ancestors, can only stay in the territory for a maximum of six months at a time!
When the time comes, they will be expelled from their tribe.

After all, the Time Clan, who stay in their territory, will not grow.

Shi Jia's persistent pleading didn't yield an answer, but instead piqued her curiosity. However, she didn't recognize any of the other tribesmen, and Shi Xu was away on a mission.

Seeing her anxious look, Shi Lan felt a little smug. "Alright, alright, let's go to Qinglong Trading Company first, and I'll tell you when we get back."

"Okay, it's settled then." Shi Jia didn't dwell on it anymore. They had already wasted a lot of time, so they should hurry up and go to Qinglong Trading Company.

The two communicated with their clan seals, and the next second they were enveloped by two golden lights. When the golden lights dissipated, they found themselves standing on the teleportation platform of the Dimensional Administration Bureau headquarters.

"Huh, a teleportation station?" Shi Jia was a little surprised because it was her first time being teleported from her clan's territory to the headquarters of the Dimensional Administration Bureau. She didn't use the teleportation array this time.

"Is this your first time here?" Shi Lan explained, "The headquarters of the Dimensional Administration Bureau has been placed under a spatial blockade by the Space God Ancestor. Only the teleportation stations have opened spatial channels. So no matter how you arrive at the Dimensional Administration Bureau, you will only appear at the teleportation station."

She pointed to a building not far away that resembled a starport, "Look, that's a port for docking vehicles."

Shi Jia nodded to indicate that she understood.

The two did not linger at the teleportation station. After leaving the station, they took a flying car to the Azure Dragon Trading Company. "Sister Shi Jia, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have stepped into the Azure Dragon Trading Company. You'll have to treat me to a good meal later."

When Shi Lan said this, her voice was very soft, and her eyes were warily looking around.

Shi Jia followed her gaze and looked around the street. It seemed no different from the last time she came. She whispered, "Sister Shi Lan, what are you looking for?"

"It's nothing. Let's go quickly." Shi Lan acted as if nothing had happened, pulling Shi Jia's hand and walking briskly towards the free trade area. "Hopefully there are still stalls left."

Upon hearing this, Shi Jia quickened her pace. She had already learned about the Free Trade Zone online. Anyone who could come to the Dimensional Administration could set up a stall and sell goods in the Free Trade Zone by paying a certain deposit.

Those worlds that aren't qualified to open shops regularly "contract" stalls in the free trade zone. High-ranking mission takers from the Dimensional Administration and individuals from various races also frequently visit the free trade zone.

However, there are limited booths available!
Shi Lan led Shi Jia into the free trading area with practiced ease. Fortunately, there were still stalls available today. "Great!" Shi Jia breathed a sigh of relief and took out his personal terminal to pay the deposit.

"Wait!" Shi Lan stopped Shi Jia, who was puzzled. Shi Lan gestured for her to show her identity page to the administrator of the free trade zone.

The administrator immediately scanned the identity page. "Beep! Welcome, Time Clan member, to the Free Trade Zone. Would you like to rent a stall?"

“Yes.” Shi Jia nodded.

"We have received your request and are applying for a stall for you. Your application has been approved. Please check the information." The administrator smiled at the two of them.

Shi Jia checked the personal terminal with a puzzled look and quickly saw the stall information. She opened her mouth, about to say something, when Shi Lan glanced at the stall's location and pulled her away.

"Sister Shi Lan, no deposit required?" Shi Jia whispered. She wasn't stupid; there was no information online about renting a stall without paying rent.

"This is a perk for us Time Clan," Shi Lan nodded.

"Huh? Are we the only ones who have it?" Shi Jia asked curiously.

"I don't know either." Shi Lan pulled Shi Jia through the crowded area and walked further in. The number of people gradually decreased, and when they were almost completely gone, they stopped. "This is the stall, Shi Jia. Use your personal terminal to verify your identity."

"Okay." Shi Jia could only suppress her curiosity and get to work.

The stalls in the free trading area are all the same: a rectangular stone table one meter high, a bench, and engravings of cleaning formations, oh, and isolation formations.

Shi Jia waved his hand, and fresh, crisp vegetables were placed on the stone table.

"Alright, let's wait for our guests." Shi Lan waved her hand and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Shi Jia nodded, looking at the sparse crowd with concern. "Sister Shi Lan, should we start selling?"

Shi Lan shook her head immediately, her tone resolute, "No!"

Shi Jia looked at her, and the latter's face showed an unnatural expression. "Ahem, what I mean is that your vegetables are divine plants containing the power of time, and they are already very popular. There is really no need to go to such lengths."

Shi Jia was skeptical, but looked expectantly at the sparse crowd. However, as if they could sense her expectation, they all turned their backs on her!

Shi Jia: "!"

"Are you sure you don't need it? How about we just start selling it?" Shi Jia waited for fifteen minutes before finally speaking up. She had experience with selling things before.

Therefore, there is no situation where one cannot speak.

But Shi Lan stopped her again, "Really, there's no need! If you're worried that others won't understand the value of vegetables, you can write a product description."

Oh dear, she didn't want to be laughed at by others! Shi Jia had just come of age and didn't have many friends, but she was different; she had friends from all the major divine clans. If it weren't for taking care of her younger sister in her clan, she wouldn't be setting up a stall.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Shi Jia quickly took out paper and pen and wrote down the quality and nutritional value of the vegetables.

It is specifically stated that it contains trace amounts of the power of time, and consuming it offers an extremely small chance of comprehending the laws of time.

Ahem, whether one can comprehend the laws depends on their aptitude.

Anyway, Sister Shilan said after reading it that there was no problem.
