The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

The mall's announcements continued: "Second, all items must be purchased before use. Those who skip out on their purchases will be detained in the shopping area... Fifth, the mall's public rest areas are open for rest, but hygiene must be maintained; littering and urinating/defecating indiscriminately are prohibited..."

Professor Zhao, Tang You, Lin Xiao, and Fang Yang led a group of robots to greet the guests.

The adult men who entered first exchanged pleasantries with the others, but their eyes were constantly scanning their surroundings, and it seemed that they were doing so with a clear division of labor.

Because of the invincibility mode, and because the people looking around didn't seem malicious, but rather scrutinizing, Professor Zhao and Tang You didn't chase the guests away.

After observing for a while, the men who entered exchanged glances. The leader, a man of steely resolve, apologized profusely: "Professor Zhao, hello. My name is Zhang Haiquan. I'm very sorry for our intrusion. We had no choice. Your mall appeared so suddenly, and most of the people we brought were children and sick women, which is why we were a bit nervous."

Professor Zhao waved his hand: "It's only right. Your examination is much more convincing than our words."

If it were him, and he were suddenly struck by such a natural disaster, he would be more careful and anxious than the people in front of him, in order to secure the future hope—those children.

At the very least, we need to observe for three to five days before letting the children come over.

The reason these people were sent here on the first day is probably because the environment didn't allow them to continue observation.

Seeing Professor Zhao and the others' understanding, Zhang Haiquan, a man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, had tears in his eyes.

After the apocalyptic disaster, order collapsed. They were used to deceit, betrayal by acquaintances, and mutual killing. This was the first time they had seen such warm and tender affection.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haiquan earnestly said to Professor Zhao and his group, "Thank you, we will always remember your kindness."

They both knew that bringing the children shopping during the day was actually a way for them to escape the heat, and they would definitely stay all day.

They walked and talked, and by then they had returned to the North Gate.

Professor Zhao looked up at the children's faces outside the door, their eyes still shining, and was slightly moved: "There's no need for such words. We are all students of Dongda University, and we should help each other out."

Those children, like the children in their own dimension, all looked like children from Dongda Huaxia.

Who can remain indifferent?

Seeing the tenderness in Professor Zhao and Tang You's eyes, Zhang Haiquan felt a lump in his throat and quickly instructed his men to call the children outside to come in.

After welcoming the people in, they repeatedly instructed them not to make noise, not to fight, not to disturb the mall staff, and to just stay put.

Even though those children are not very mature yet, they have learned to be obedient after experiencing earthquakes, floods, and the current heat. They all nodded obediently in agreement.

Watching the children enter the mall one by one, Zhang Haiquan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Regardless of what Jia Lun thought, he would never lay a hand on the mall owner; on the contrary, he would even offer assistance to the mall owner if necessary.

Of course, he didn't say any of this; he simply silently solidified his code of conduct.

Ruan Mianmian was a little surprised when she received the note secretly handed to her by the child. After all, they didn't know each other, so it was really strange that the child was passing her a note.

But soon she realized that the note must have been secretly given to her by the child at Yuan Zhiling's behest.

Realizing this, she immediately knew what had happened.

This matter should be very unfavorable to her, which is why Yuan Zhiling had to act in secret.

After figuring this out, Ruan Mianmian took the note and quickly walked to the reception room next to the lobby to check. She did not participate in welcoming the first batch of customers of this dimension.

She was taken aback when she saw the words on the paper.

"Shopping malls are invaluable havens, very attractive, so please be careful and pay attention to safety. — Yuan Zhiling"

Yuan Zhiling specifically sent such a note secretly, which was clearly no small matter.

Now, let's zoom in on the note to reveal its original meaning. The note should read: "Someone is trying to seize your shopping mall. Please be careful."

Ruan Mianmian thought that was the meaning, but she wasn't sure. Maybe she was just used to seeing ugliness, so she thought the worst of others?

So she took the note and went back to the common living room.

At this moment, many professors were sitting in the living room watching the children on the monitor. When they saw Ruan Mianmian enter with a strange expression, they quickly asked, "Mianmian, what happened?"

Ruan Mianmian handed the note to Professor Li, who was closest to her: "Yuan Zhiling secretly sent this note through a child."

Upon hearing this, the professors' expressions immediately turned serious, and they all looked at Professor Li.

Professor Li simply read the contents of the note aloud.

Ruan Mianmian sat down and waited for Professor Li to finish reading before asking the professors present, "What do you professors think the contents of the note mean?"

The professors' environment was relatively simple, but it wasn't entirely without conflict. In addition, they were older and had more experience, so they said one after another, "It must be that after Yuan Zhiling went back and reported to us about this shopping mall, someone became interested in it and wanted to take it over."

Hearing that almost everyone shared the same opinion, Ruan Mianmian nodded, "That's what I think too." Then, her face filled with anger, she said, "They've gone too far! We helped them, and they repay kindness with enmity!"

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian was angry, Professor Li smiled and comforted her, "Don't be angry, it's only human nature."

"What kind of human nature is this! How can such ungrateful behavior be considered human nature!" Ruan Mianmian felt that Professor Li must not have woken up properly to say such absurd things.

Professor Li smiled and looked at Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, suppose in our world, like here, various disasters have occurred one after another, causing countless deaths and injuries, and the future is nowhere in sight. Just when you are in despair, you learn about the existence of the shopping mall, that it can travel through time and space, that it has everything you need for life, and that it is always in an invincible mode, what would you do?"

How to do it?

Of course, we'll do everything we can to get our hands on it.

Ruan Mianmian thought this subconsciously.

Then, she froze.

From the perspective of people in this world, wanting to seize control of the business world seems like a very normal psychological behavior.

Seeing that Ruan Mianmian understood, Professor Li continued:

"I think many people would want to seize a shopping mall just to make themselves feel better. Not to mention those who are determined to get a shopping mall to save more people. No, perhaps in their hearts, getting a shopping mall will allow the brilliant civilization of five thousand years to continue to be passed down. So, it is only natural that they want a shopping mall."

Professor Qian nodded in agreement: "To be honest, if it were me, I would do everything in my power to seize the mall. If it truly ensured the continuation of civilization, I would be remembered in history. Just think of that allure..." He paused, noticing the blank expression on Ruan Mianmian's face, and then said earnestly,

"Mianmian, for the sake of the continuation of civilization, justice and morality are not worth mentioning."

Professor Huang chimed in, "Actually, the people here are already quite capable, after all, Yuan Zhiling gave us a warning."
