Gao Yang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and the smile on his face gradually deepened.

Seeing that he was clearly lost in thought, Ruan Mianmian cleared her throat to bring Gao Yang's attention back before saying, "It's like this, we'd like to learn about the Federation, but we don't know what channels we should use to do so?"

Gao Yang was convinced they had been tricked by the guide and were completely ignorant about the Federation, so he didn't doubt them at this moment and said, "A chip watch like mine will do. It can access a lot of information online, and you can even shop. Didn't you want to buy a flying car? Buy a chip phone, and maybe you'll be able to use it to shop soon."

Ruan Mianmian thanked Gao Yang for the recommendation and asked, "Does binding a chip-enabled phone require real-name authentication?"

Gao Yang immediately said, "Yes." After saying that, he noticed that Ruan Mianmian's expression was normal, but a look of worry flashed in her watery eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you are actually illegal immigrants? But that shouldn't be the case. How could illegal immigrants afford such a huge mobile store?"

Ruan Mianmian smiled wryly: "There are some things I can't say. But we're both currently unregistered."

Gao Yang noticed Ruan Mianmian's predicament and worry, and instinctively wanted to share her burdens.

He racked his brains quickly and soon came up with a good idea: "I've got it!"

Ruan Mianmian looked at him intently: "Mr. Gao Yang, do you have any ideas?"

"I have some old, still-usable cell phones with chips, and my friend definitely has some too. I'll go collect them and get you ten cell phones with chips," Gao Yang said excitedly, then looked expectantly at Ruan Mianmian. "Isn't that a good idea?"

Seeing his eager look for praise, Ruan Mianmian gave him a thumbs up: "That's a great idea!"

"Then I'll collect them and bring them to you as soon as possible." Gao Yang finished speaking, then felt a vibration in his hand. He looked down and his expression changed drastically: "Oh no, I'm going to be late for work! Miss Ruan, excuse me for a moment, see you later—"

Ruan Mianmian waved to Gao Yang, watched him leave, and then turned back into the mall.

The customers who came to shop were not as extravagant as Gao Yang, but they still picked out quite a few things from the supermarket.

When they went to pay at the cashier, the group of more than twenty elderly people burst into a passionate shout that could only be heard at a concert with 100,000 people: "My God, it's so cheap!"

Hearing this, Ruan Mianmian's heart bled.

She couldn't wait to close the mall and find another way to make money.

The elderly people were so excited about buying cheap goods that they didn't notice Ruan Mianmian's sadness at all.

After paying and leaving the store, the elderly people all had warm smiles on their faces: "You must be the owner of this big store, right? Your prices are really affordable."

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said, "As long as it makes Grandpa and Grandma happy, that's good."

Upon hearing this, the group of elderly people became even more enthusiastic towards Ruan Mianmian and started chatting with her directly.

Ruan Mianmian didn't really need to reply. Just listening and occasionally nodding in agreement was enough to make these old men and women happy.

Feeling that she was familiar enough with the place, Ruan Mianmian asked, "Grandpa and Grandma, is our place far from the landfill? Are there many landfills around here?"

"A landfill? There's a landfill nearby, not far at all. You can drive there in the blink of an eye, or it'll take about ten minutes to walk," an old woman replied, then asked, "Young man, what do you need a landfill for?"

"I plan to familiarize myself with the environment first," Ruan Mianmian said.

After that, she chatted with the old men and women for a long time until her mouth was dry before finally seeing them off.

The elderly people walked in a hurry: "It's too cheap, I'll come back again."

"I need to go back and tell my relatives and friends so they can come and buy it as soon as possible."

Less than an hour after the group of elderly people returned, the number of people coming to shop at the mall increased significantly, making it a bustling place.

Seeing that the robot handled tourists with ease, Ruan Mianmian stopped watching it and wandered around the mall aimlessly, thinking of ways to make money as she went.

Lost in thought, she suddenly heard a little boy passing by say, "Grandma, can you throw this thing away? It's so old, it looks really outdated."

Ruan Mianmian's gaze followed the bag unconsciously and saw an old woman carrying a huge old bag. Beside her, a little boy of about seven or eight years old was also carrying a huge old bag, which looked even taller than him.

However, what really surprised Ruan Mianmian was that the little boy was so small, yet he could easily pick up such a big bag.

This definitely involves high technology!

When it gets late, we must send someone to the junkyard to search for high-tech items.

If a little boy thinks that old-fashioned things should be thrown away even if they are not broken, then there must be other people who think the same way.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian's mind raced, and she quickly came up with a good idea. She immediately said to the chubby baby in her mind, "Baby, isn't there a ten-meter-high giant screen on the wall at the entrance of our mall? Can you help me advertise that we can exchange old items from home for money?"

The chubby baby exclaimed, "Mianmian, you're so smart!"

"No need for praise, just hurry up and advertise for me." After saying that, Ruan Mianmian quickened her pace to find Tang You.

Upon seeing Ruan Mianmian, Tang You immediately said, "We've finally found you. We have an idea—"

Seeing her anxious expression, Ruan Mianmian smiled and asked, "Are you going to exchange your old items for our goods?"

“That’s right,” Tang You said with a smile. “It seems we’re thinking the same thing.”

He then discussed the specific plans with Ruan Mianmian.

When Ruan Mianmian heard that the plan was to put the best-selling and cheapest items at the entrance and let locals bring their old items to exchange, she gave a thumbs up: "That's a brilliant move!"

After liking it, I immediately communicated with the chubby baby in my mind and modified the notice.

Just like in rural areas where there are many old items that are still in good condition, if you come across a vehicle that can be exchanged for an old item for a basin or a bowl, you will definitely take the old item to exchange it.

When the people of this place heard this wonderful news, they spread the word and it quickly attracted the first group of elderly people to exchange their old items.

The items they received in exchange were numerous and varied in shape, many of which were of unknown purpose.

Ruan Mianmian guessed and guessed but still couldn't figure out what these things were or how to use them, so she gave up struggling and didn't let Professor Huang and the others struggle either. She also told everyone to conserve their energy.

As darkness fell, Gao Yang arrived with a group of people driving high-speed cars.

The shoppers who had just finished shopping saw Gao Yang and his group and couldn't help but mutter, "Why are they leaving get off work so early? There will definitely be even more people. It's really worrying!"

Gao Yang seemed to have overheard everyone's discussion and said to Ruan Mianmian with a smile, "We were lucky today. Those kids who came to regulate the workplace have finally come to our industry, and we've all been released early. Haha, no pay cuts, pay cuts don't exist."

Some people were worried: "What if a fight breaks out?"
