The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

While instructing everyone on how to sit down to minimize harm to themselves, Tang You and Gu Shi moved closer to Ruan Mianmian and sat down themselves.

The professors were not as quick as the two, so after sitting down, they kept moving towards Ruan Mianmian.

They had an internal rule that Ruan Mianmian had the highest priority, followed by the professors, and Gu Shi and Tang You were ranked last.

In the event of danger, the first person I would protect is Ruan Mianmian.

Professor Li comforted Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, don't be afraid."

Ruan Mianmian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I'm not afraid. We will definitely find a way to solve our current predicament."

When the professors heard Ruan Mianmian's optimistic words and saw that she showed no signs of dejection or fear, they were all somewhat surprised.

They knew roughly about Ruan Mianmian's background.

They thought that she, having been hurt by the world in the past, would easily fall into a depressed mood and, when faced with terrible things, her first choice would be to endure them.

But now Ruan Mianmian is showing them with her actions that they are completely wrong!

However, considering that Ruan Mianmian was able to win over Mike, they felt that what they were seeing was perfectly normal and reasonable.

The chubby baby floated beside Ruan Mianmian and said, "Those children dug up this area along with the soil and took it away. Our shopping mall was up there, so it was taken away too. Since it wasn't an attack, the mall won't be defended. Mianmian, it's up to you whether to close the mall down."

Ruan Mianmian looked out the window and shook her head: "To avoid arousing suspicion, let's not leave for now. Let's also see what the children are up to by taking us and the mall away."

The shopping mall is now under the spotlight, so if she suddenly makes it disappear, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

If the Federation concludes that she possesses terrifying technology, they will find it extremely difficult to proceed.

Professor Li nodded: "That's good. I've heard that all the excellent plants in the Federation are cultivated by children. Our trip there will be a good opportunity to see how they actually cultivate them."

"For safety reasons, please make sure everyone is wearing protective shields. The protective shields in the storage space can be easily accessed," Professor Zhao instructed everyone.

While checking the protective shield, Ruan Mianmian said to the chubby baby, "Baby, quickly project the holographic screen to show us what's going on outside."

They can only see what's within their line of sight and are unaware of anything else, making it difficult to judge the extent of the children's malice towards them and the shopping mall.

The chubby baby did as instructed.

Tang You looked at the professors: "Are children very fierce? Will we be in mortal danger if we are taken away this time?"

"Children, as the name suggests, are similar to children at the age when even dogs dislike them. They are disobedient, like to provoke others, and are easily angered. They are very direct in expressing their likes and dislikes, and basically have little empathy. When they are in a bad mood, they will raise their fists and fight. Once they get angry, they will definitely chase after people and beat them up, so killing people happens from time to time."

Several professors added their own explanations, which gave Ruan Mianmian and Tang You, who rarely went out, a basic understanding of children.

"So brutal? Aren't we in danger?" Ruan Mianmian asked, "Is the Federation tolerating children for the sake of plants?"

The professors nodded.

Tang You recalled the children's attack and said in surprise, "Their weapons seem to be quite different from those of the Federation's humans."

Professor Zhao said, "It is said that children can make some weapons themselves, and sometimes they buy them from the Federation. Some of the weapons they buy are modified to a certain extent."

After piecing together what she heard, Ruan Mianmian concluded: "A very magical race."

It has a volatile and impulsive personality, just like a child, but it has somehow evolved an intelligence capable of modifying weapons.

Amazing.

Ruan Mianmian thought for a moment and looked at Professor Zhao: "Professor Zhao, if we are taken away by children, what are the chances of us being killed?"

If there's a high probability of her being killed, she'll prioritize survival rather than waiting to die out of fear of being discovered because of the mall's unusual features.

“Although children are mostly impulsive, easily angered, and simple-minded, they are not indiscriminate killers. Moreover, they should be very interested in your shopping mall and want to study it, so we should be safe. However, as I said before, we must still wear the protective shield,” Professor Zhao said.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "That's good. But it's better to be prepared. When we get to the children's world, everyone should stay in the mall and not go out."

The mall won't be damaged, so as long as the doors are closed, children can't get in, and they'll be safe.

With their measurements finalized, everyone patiently waited for the mall to stop.

About twenty minutes later, the mall gradually came to a standstill.

Ruan Mianmian fully expected a heavy jolt, but to her surprise, there was basically no movement.

Through the nine-screen holographic projection, everyone saw that after the mall stopped, most of the children cheered and ran to the left side of the mall.

Another group of children ran into the tiny, adorable villa, shouting something.

Before long, a large group of children ran out of the villa and the woods.

The group of children had a clear goal and headed straight for the left side of the mall.

Ruan Mianmian and her group fell silent as they watched through the holographic projection of children happily playing on the playground-like facilities on the left.

After a moment, Ruan Mianmian spoke up: "So, they actually had their eye on the colorful children's playground equipment on the left side of our mall?" She rubbed her face. "But how could that be? It's just some children's equipment. The world is so developed; there are definitely more things for children to play with. Why would they want our open-air playground?"

Professor Zhao stroked his chin: "I've never seen such colorful children's facilities online, and I've never understood why. Now that I think about it, maybe it's to prevent children from playing on them?"

"Isn't this too high a price to pay? The adults don't have anything to play with, and neither do their children." Ruan Mianmian said incredulously.

Professor Zhao shrugged helplessly: "I can't find any other explanation."

Ruan Mianmian examined the holographic projection closely and saw that the children were having a great time. Some were even mimicking the actions of the animals and children depicted in the projection, clearly enjoying the playground.

Just then, the door was banged on loudly.

Then came a loudspeaker announcement: "Are you still inside? We really like your toys. We won't beat you up because you can make them. Come out and let's have some fun!"

Ruan Mianmian watched the children on the holographic projection for a while and saw that they were indeed having a lot of fun, with smiling faces on every one of them.

She thought for a moment, then stood up: "I'll go and test the waters with them."

Tang You and the others all stood up: "Let's go together."

Ruan Mianmian and her group quickly walked to the main entrance of the mall, opened the roller shutter, and looked at the children outside through the glass door.

They were not tall, mostly around 130 centimeters, and were looking at them with bright eyes.
