The scenery outside the window flashed by. Sitting on the maglev train, Feng Lin's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Initially, after leaving the school, he was prepared to return home.
But after earning a huge sum from Klot and the others, he immediately changed his mind.
If he didn't spend his money, he would be no different from trash.
Feng Lin lacked nutrition. With so many star coins, he wondered how many nutritious items he could sell for. He was already impatient.
In next to no time, he'd arrived at the destination of his trip. Before him stood a towering building that was a thousand stories tall. It was like a heavenly pillar that towered into the clouds, and it was richly carved and painted. It was antique yet filled with a sense of technology.
This was the symbolic building of Huaxia City, the Thousand Gold Building!
It was the largest commercial center in the entire city, with a height of a thousand floors. It was said that there were all sorts of items sold here from all over the universe.
The higher the floor, the more valuable the items would be.
"Esteemed customer, welcome to the Thousand Gold Building. There are all sorts of items from all over the universe for you to choose from. They are all genuine goods, I wish you a pleasant trip … "Sensing Feng Lin's approach, the door to the first floor opened silently as a melodious female voice rang out.
The moment he entered, Feng Lin only felt a sense of grandeur.
The interior of the building had a spiral structure that spiraled upwards. The lights were dazzling, and the top couldn't be seen with a single glance.
Every floor was a ring-shaped corridor with a dazzling array of shops. Tourists would enter and leave from time to time.
Feng Lin used his identity microchip to connect to the limitless network of the Thousand Gold Building.
Streams of information flowed down like a waterfall, with pictures of all sorts of items flashing past. There were all sorts of nutrient fluids of different flavors, the latest clothing styles, virtual game pods with new functions … There was everything one could want, and these weren't expensive at all.
Star coins were a type of currency issued by the Interstellar Alliance Government. They had shocking purchasing power.
Gold, silver, jewelry, cosmetics … these extravagant items could usually be bought with just a few hundred star coins.
In truth, with the development of human technology, these items could be synthesized artificially and became common goods. What was truly valuable were those cultivation resources.
Those were things that could change one's life essence, strengthen one's genes, extend one's lifespan …
These items were extremely rare, and most of them were naturally formed. In the starry skies, they could only be found on planets with harsh environments. The price to obtain them was extremely high.
Currently, only a few could be synthesized artificially, and the price was sky-high. For example, super protein. A small can would cost over a thousand star coins.
The rarer something was, the greater its value!
Even the most common of cultivation resources would have a sky-high price!
Feng Lin wasn't interested in those luxurious items. What he wanted were cultivation resources.
"Good people!" He sighed inwardly. Klot and the others were all good people, giving him a great gift.
Otherwise, where would he find the money to spend in such a luxurious place?
Inside the Thousand Gold Building, a row of beautiful young ladies stood in a row, smiling professionally at the passersby, revealing six pure white teeth, no more, no less.
This was one of the specialties of the Thousand Gold Building.
Different from the Ancient Earth Era, shopping in the Interstellar Era was an incomparably painful matter.
The interstellar space was simply too vast, and resources were limitless. There would be new products appearing at every moment. If one had to look through them one by one, they wouldn't even have enough time to do so in their entire lifetime.
There were simply too many things in the Thousand Gold Building. Ordinary people would not be able to see all of them. If one were to search for them, they would not be able to find what they were looking for.
Therefore, the profession of shopping guide became popular.
They were usually young and beautiful women who looked very pleasing to the eye. They would guide customers to buy products and introduce the detailed history and information of each product so that customers would not have to worry about the consequences of buying.
And they also get a commission from the products you buy.
These female shopping guides would see all sorts of customers every day, and all of them were experienced people.
Feng Lin walked up to them and glanced at them. However, he was instantly ignored by them.
This person was so young and was still a student. His clothes were tattered and old-fashioned, and he was even wearing a school uniform.
With a single glance, they could see the school emblem on Feng Lin's clothes. Earth High School!
Everyone knew that this was a well-known high school in Huaxia City. It was said to be the oldest high school in Earth's history, having existed since the Ancient Earth Era.
But now, it had been in decline for a long time. The students here were clearly poor and had no money to spend.
Not only would they not have any money, but they would also be wasting their time.
A poor student like Feng Lin who didn't seem to have much money couldn't attract their interest at all. Not a single female shopping guide came up to receive him.
Feng Lin didn't mind it at all. With star coins in his hands, would he be afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy anything good?
He ignored these female shopping guides and directly walked to the escalator. He pressed the number 200 and waited to go up.
"Eh?" At this moment, among the female shopping guides, an ordinary-looking short-haired girl who had been lowering her head noticed this scene. Her eyes brightened.
The items on every floor of the Thousand Gold Building were different. The items on the bottom floor were some ordinary items. The higher the floor, the more valuable the items.
The items on the 200th floor and above were all cultivation resources with astronomical prices.
Could it be that this unassuming looking person was actually an invisible tycoon?
The short-haired girl was an intern shopping guide and her sales weren't good. Regardless of whether this ordinary-looking young man was an invisible tycoon or not, she mustn't miss out on this opportunity.
The short-haired girl made up her mind. She walked toward Feng Lin and introduced herself, "This customer, I'm the shopping guide of the Thousand Gold Building, Tan Xiaoqin! Are you going there to buy cultivation resources? I know a lot of information! I can help you! "
Her words were simple and clear, filled with confidence.
"Mn?" Feng Lin glanced at her, feeling a little surprised.
Feng Lin was very clear how those female shopping guides had ignored him previously. Now, there were actually female shopping guides who came to look for him. Interesting.
Also, he noticed that this female shopping guide had directly said that she was here to buy cultivation resources.
Feng Lin glanced at the number for the 200th floor and fell into deep thought. Did she observe it from here?
What meticulous thoughts.
One couldn't help but say that this was Feng Lin's first time at the Thousand Gold Building. He was unfamiliar with the place and people, and he indeed needed a meticulous shopping guide. Since this short-haired girl had taken the initiative to recommend him, it was just as well.
Looking at the information on her badge, it was clear that this Tan Xiaoqin was an intern shopping guide.
However, Feng Lin wasn't one to judge a book by its cover. He nodded and said, "Sure!"
Seeing that the transaction had been successfully completed, Tan Xiaoqin revealed a sweet smile. Her ordinary face seemed to have a hint of beauty to it, and it was a sight to behold.
The female shopping guides watched coldly as the two of them ascended the escalator.
"This Tan Xiaoqin is crazy! How could she do business with such a pauper! "
"Intern shopping guide and pauper, what a good match!"
"She's really going all out for the sake of her sales!"
…
They couldn't stop mocking them. It had always been this principle to laugh at the poor and not at the prostitutes.
But very soon, they couldn't continue laughing.
As shopping guides, they all had their own internal management platform.
They saw that Tan Xiaoqin's sales were rising at an insane speed, from the bottom of the rankings all the way to the top of the rankings. All of them were dumbfounded.
Could it be that they had judged wrongly? That poor student was actually an invisible tycoon?
Endless resentment and grievances rose in the hearts of the female shopping guides.
She was clearly so rich, yet she liked to wear such tattered clothes, and it was even a school uniform. Wasn't this bullying?
