The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Jia Lun was full of confidence, believing that Ruan Mianmian would definitely agree to his plan, which was a compromise that would not harm the natural order.

Because it's just a rental, the mall still belongs to Ruan Mianmian, and Ruan Mianmian only needs to make one trip to obtain the most complete and cutting-edge technology in their time and space.

Under Jia Lun's confident gaze, Ruan Mianmian slowly shook her head: "I'm sorry, this deal can't be done. I—"

"Why?" Jia Lun was surprised to hear that Ruan Mianmian refused. "Are you worried that we'll go back on our word?"

Ruan Mianmian shook her head: "Let me put it this way, this is the third world I've traveled to. In other words, which dimension this shopping mall will go to each time is random, and I can't control it. Also, I can only travel to it once every six months. Each time I travel to it, I stay for a full six months before it automatically returns."

Since both the mall and the people had an invincible mode, and she didn't want to waste any more breath, Ruan Mianmian didn't hide anything and directly told them the rules.

As for whether Jia Lun believes it or not, she believes that if Jia Lun is a smart man, he should believe it.

After listening to Ruan Mianmian's words in shock, Jia Lun quickly analyzed whether she was telling the truth or lying.

In just a moment, he believed that Ruan Mianmian was telling the truth.

If shopping malls really could be traveled to at will, then Ruan Mianmian could easily travel to a world with a similar civilization but that had never suffered a disaster. Why come to this apocalyptic world?

However, he really wanted to travel back in time, so he looked at Ruan Mianmian and asked, "Is there really no way at all?"

"No." Ruan Mianmian shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Jia Lun and his group showed a touching sadness on their faces.

Fang Yang couldn't help but ask, "Actually, rebuilding like this now would allow us to acquire a much larger territory."

Jia Lun waved his hand with a wry smile: "But I wish my country were peaceful and prosperous, free from all sorts of disasters. So many people died..." His eyes reddened as he finished speaking.

Ruan Mianmian fell silent after hearing this.

On Earth, if any disaster occurs somewhere, everyone who sees it online will worry about their fellow citizens there.

Here, the entire land has suffered a disaster, with countless deaths and injuries, a truly unbearable pain.

After a while, estimating that Jia Lun and the others had recovered from their grief, Ruan Mianmian asked, "Although we have experienced earthquakes and floods, is it possible that any country's nuclear weapons were intact?"

If so, then you have to be careful what you do.

Jia Lun shook his head: "I can't guarantee that. But I can guarantee that the earthquake was global. At that time, the network was not completely destroyed, and the relevant monitoring data was leaked. This was a global catastrophe. Later, after the flood, communication was completely cut off. Not to mention what happened in other countries, we don't know. We don't even know what happened in other parts of the country."

Ruan Mianmian was alarmed when she heard it was a global earthquake: "What happened? How could it cause a global earthquake? All countries have satellites, why couldn't they detect the meteorite?"

From any perspective, it is impossible for a meteorite fall to simultaneously cause massive earthquakes all over the world.

No, if Earth were conscious, it could indeed do that.

For example, if life existed on Earth, it would awaken from its slumber and find itself covered in something called humans. These humans were not only numerous but also highly destructive, often leaving it covered in wounds. They would even dig out its flesh and re-cover it with hard, cumbersome protrusions. Most egregiously, they would frequently use sharp objects to pierce deep inside, extracting its blood and various precious components.

Humanity has caused far too much harm, and the Earth cannot tolerate it, so it has decided to self-cleanse and eliminate humanity.

“Undetectable.” Jaren smiled bitterly again. “Most meteorites are captured by other planets before reaching Earth, so it’s impossible for them to reach us.”

Professor Huang nodded and said, "This is indeed very strange."

The scene fell silent.

Ruan Mianmian snapped out of her reverie and, seeing everyone frowning at the disaster, said, "Since we can't figure it out, let's put it aside for now and think about what we urgently need to do."

Yuan Zhiling, who had been silent until now, nodded: "I second that."

Jia Lun snapped out of his reverie and looked at Ruan Mianmian and her group: "Right now, the most important thing is to acquire supplies and start building. So, we'd like to rent a batch of construction vehicles that can work at night, including excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, cranes, and so on."

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "Having engineering vehicles can indeed solve a lot of problems."

After the major earthquake, many houses were swallowed up by the earth. With the help of engineering vehicles, those houses can be dug out, and people can be sent down to collect the materials, documents, and technological products inside.

Jaren said, “Your market is not large, but our population will continue to grow. Your market alone cannot supply all of us. Therefore, I hope that we can solve our own food problems, and we can trade for various tools and weapons from you.”

Yesterday, Zhang Haiquan and his group returned with the items they had acquired in the transaction. After examining them, he and the others discovered that none of the items were cheap.

Therefore, save money wherever possible.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "That's fine. However, the mall rules state that you can't buy on credit, so if you want to purchase a sufficient number of construction vehicles, it depends on the value of the items you bring."

Fang Yang's mind was filled with thoughts of a large-scale, realistic simulated war here, so seeing that everyone had talked enough, he hurriedly said, "Now can we discuss the issue of expanding our territory?"

While encountering a sudden disaster is certainly terrible, it can also be a rare opportunity.

Professor Zhao smiled and said, "We can only stay for six months. As for the things you're thinking about, we'll only be involved in the basic aspects at most, so don't overthink it."

Jia Lun's eyes flickered: "Reconstruction is indeed of paramount importance, but we will also definitely expand our territory."

Having already caused such casualties, it is natural to take this opportunity to occupy more land.

That day, Yuan Zhiling and his group traded everything except essential food, water, and medicine in exchange for construction vehicles that could be used at night.

Therefore, at night, construction vehicles were working all night long within a kilometer radius of the shopping mall.

The results were very encouraging; in just a few days, they unearthed a great deal of food, water, and medicine.

Of course, there were many more corpses.

Ruan Mianmian and her group did not go out, but they would occasionally view the footage captured by the drone.

So, we saw the body that had been dug up.

Yuan Zhiling and his group are barely escaping hunger and thirst thanks to the help of the shopping mall. It is impossible for them to bury all the bodies separately. Therefore, they will enlarge the deepest pit they have dug, put all the bodies in it, and then burn and bury them together.

Whenever they reach this point, they become very sad, and the entire room falls silent.
