The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

"They must have been sent by the officials of Chrysanthemum Kingdom, and they definitely have malicious intentions!" Lin Xiao said with a stern face.

Tang You's face was also serious: "We can't open the door. Let's observe for a while longer—"

Ruan Mianmian glanced at the lone wolf to the north and said, "Let's go open the east gate and make contact with this lone wolf first."

Gu Shi then stared at the people in the distance who were eyeing this place covetously: "Those people may launch an attack, we cannot let our guard down."

Ruan Mianmian nodded, then called Tang You, Fang Yang, Professor Huang, and Professor Zhang to walk quickly eastward, soon arriving at the East Gate.

According to surveillance footage, the Mavericks are about to arrive here.

Ruan Mianmian opened the door and waited patiently.

The Lone Ranger must have noticed the lights and commotion here, so he stopped moving and lay in wait.

Ruan Mianmian couldn't immediately tell whether the lone ranger was a good person or a bad person, so after thinking for a moment, she raised her voice and asked, "Who are you?"

The lone ranger was a few meters from the East Gate, hiding behind a wooden box used for growing flowers, and could hear Ruan Mianmian's words.

He assumed a posture ready to retreat at any moment and replied, "Don't worry about who I am. I'm here to tell you that no matter who you are, be careful of those children. They are children from the Chrysanthemum Kingdom. The weapons they carry are lethal. Many people have suffered greatly because they sympathized with them."

Ruan Mianmian was watching the surveillance footage while listening to him speak. Seeing him leave after he finished, she quickly asked, "Hello, we'd like to ask you some questions. Is this the Chrysanthemum Country? What country are you from?"

The sudden appearance of a magnificent shopping mall in such a devastated place is obviously illogical, so she didn't bother to hide its extraordinary origins and asked questions without much restraint.

Yuan Zhiling, who was about to leave, stopped in surprise upon hearing this: "Don't you know which country this is? Who are you people?"

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "You can tell from this building that we are no ordinary people. To be honest, we are time travelers from the Great Eastern Kingdom. I have already told you a lot of information, and now it's your turn to answer me."

Yuan Zhiling did have many guesses about this suddenly appearing building, but he never expected it to be a time traveler. He thought for a moment and said, "This is the central region of Dongguo. I am a citizen of Dongguo, and my name is Yuan Zhiling."

Ruan Mianmian asked, "Why did you come here specifically to warn us?" After speaking, the man turned and left without any intention of exchanging words, clearly indicating that he had come to warn us.

Yuan Zhiling said, "This is the territory of the Eastern Great Power. Most of the people here are my compatriots. I don't want my compatriots to be deceived, so I came here."

Ruan Mianmian could tell that he still had some reservations about her, so she said, "I'm not sure if you're really Master Dong. How about we use a secret code?"

“We are people from different times and spaces, how could we have a secret code that we all know?” Yuan Zhiling thought this method was very unreliable.

Ruan Mianmian thought about it and agreed, so she began to ponder it.

At this moment, Professor Zhang spoke up: "Let's try it first. If it matches, great; if not, we'll try another method." Without waiting for Yuan Zhiling's reply, he asked, "Who are the two emperors in the history of Dongda University who had English names?"

Without hesitation, Yuan Zhiling answered: "Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, and Emperor Chengzu of Ming, Zhu Di."

In fact, many emperors could have been given English names based on different titles, but these two are the most famous ones recognized by the public in the jokes.

Ruan Mianmian was stunned.

It was actually a code word.

Professor Zhang then posed a second question: "What is the most unpalatable famous dish?"

"West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce." Yuan Zhiling's lips twitched as he answered the question.

Ruan Mianmian had never eaten it before, and upon hearing this, she looked at Professor Huang with curiosity.

She remembered that Professor Huang was from that area.

Under Ruan Mianmian's gaze, Professor Huang nodded with an indescribable expression.

Professor Zhang then asked a third question: "What is the F3 in South China also called? What do they eat during the Chinese New Year?"

Yuan Zhiling answered without hesitation: "Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan or Hainanese, they eat chicken during the Chinese New Year."

After he finished answering, Professor Zhang immediately asked the fourth question: "Imperial Jade Liquor—"

"One hundred and eighty per cup!" Yuan Zhiling answered quickly, then asked excitedly, "Are you really our compatriots? Are you from the future? How long will this apocalyptic disaster last?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at Professor Zhang for his answer.

Professor Zhang sighed and said, "We are not from the future, but from a parallel universe. We don't know the future of this world. Can you tell us what this apocalyptic disaster is all about?"

"What? Parallel universes?" Yuan Zhiling was surprised. "Do parallel universes really exist? How did you get here? Has your technology reached a very advanced stage?"

Ruan Mianmian glanced at the surveillance footage and saw Yuan Zhiling sitting stiffly on the ground. She then asked the chubby baby, "Baby, given the special circumstances, is it okay for him to enter the mall at night?"

“Mianmian, if we let him in at night, then he won’t be able to enter during the day. Think it over carefully,” the chubby baby said.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian immediately said, "Then let's do it during the day."

It's too hot during the day. If they are our own people, letting them come in to shop during the day would be like saving their lives.

To be honest, she still doesn't know how Yuan Zhiling and the others were able to survive in such hot weather during the day.

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Mianmian said, "Mr. Yuan, why don't you sit down at the entrance of the mall and we can talk about it slowly?"

Yuan Zhiling was taken aback again: "What? This is a shopping mall?"

“It’s a large shopping mall,” Ruan Mianmian replied.

Yuan Zhiling stood up abruptly: "I am a student of Dongda University. I can guarantee that I have no malicious intent. Before entering the mall, I am willing to accept inspection and leave behind anything you deem a threat."

He had originally thought that such a large building must contain the supplies he needed, but since he didn't know who was inside, whether they were friend or foe, he didn't plan to go inside on this trip. He intended to investigate several times to make sure that the people inside wouldn't attack him before exchanging items for supplies.

Knowing that it was a well-stocked shopping mall and that the people inside were somewhat trustworthy, and having nothing of value to his name, he decided to go in and take a look.

So they showed great sincerity, hoping the mall owner would let him in.

Of course, it's normal if he can't get in. He tried hard, and the mall owner decided whether or not to let him in.

Ruan Mianmian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the mall is not open at night. You can only sit at the entrance. If you want to shop, you can come in during the day."

"By daytime—" Yuan Zhiling's voice was unusually excited, but he seemed to be suppressing it, saying in a voice with only a hint of excitement, "Then I'll come shopping tomorrow during the day. I wonder what you need to exchange for supplies?"

As he spoke, he stood up, raised his hands, and walked towards the mall entrance.
