Activating the Shop
Bai Lou listened blankly, this was far too difficult for a cat to understand.
“Then let’s go in.” But cats have one advantage: they don’t overthink things.
It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t understand and didn’t they say they’d explain? Let it listen.
The thought had barely formed in its mind when the scene before its eyes instantly changed.
It was a beautiful space with soft green grass under its feet, and a small courtyard in the style of ancient China not far away. A stream flowed in front of the courtyard, and across the stream were two vegetable plots, the contents of which were unknown.
A phantom cat figure materialized beside it, opened its mouth, and the previous electronic voice spoke: “The initial space of the Myriad Realms Mall is one thousand square meters, and the host can choose the space style themselves. Due to the host’s recent uninterrupted…”
Hmm, and involuntary binding, but let’s not dwell on that.
The electronic voice continued, “The host can choose to inherit the space from the previous host, or choose to draw it again. However, currency and level will be reset to zero, only the space and relics can be inherited. It is recommended that the host choose inheritance as the Spirit Spring Space is a top-tier initial space with an extremely low extraction rate.”
Bai Lou readily accepted the advice. Since it was so good, he chose to inherit.
“Meow.” Inherit.
After confirming the inheritance, the courtyard gate opened automatically, and Bai Lou curiously walked in.
The place was decorated very elegantly and beautifully, with a cobblestone path and vibrant flowerbeds along the sides.
There were artificial hills, pavilions, lotus ponds, and two two-story buildings.
Bai Lou stood by the lotus pond, curiously looking into the water. Hidden among the lotus blossoms, several koi carp were swimming happily.
Seeing its unwavering gaze, the electronic voice couldn’t help but remind it, “This is a Lotus Spirit Fish, for ornamental purposes. Keeping it in the lotus pond helps gather spiritual energy, making the lotus flowers bloom more beautifully, and the lotus seeds and roots more delicious. It’s best not to eat it.”
It’s a natural feature of the courtyard and buying more after eating it would be troublesome.
“Meow~” I didn’t want to eat it, I was just looking.
Bai Lou’s cat face was innocent. The cat really didn’t want to eat the fish; I don’t eat raw meat.
The electronic voice didn’t dwell on this topic and continued, “The most valuable thing in this initial space is the spiritual spring. The springhead is in the backyard. It has the effect of enhancing physical constitution and increasing vitality. Living beings can drink from it, and it can also be used to grow crops and medicinal herbs. The specific spiritual energy tolerance ratio can be checked by the host later.”
Bai Lou followed the illusory cat figure to a small building and pushed open the door. The first floor was furnished with ordinary rooms. The two cats didn’t linger there and the illusory cat figure led Bai Lou straight to the second floor.
Upon entering the white building, one is immediately drawn to a bronze mirror inside. Nearly two meters tall, it stands in the center of the room, its frame and back engraved with animal motifs, appearing both ancient and exquisite.
The illusory cat-like figure walks to the mirror and presses a few times. Ripples appear on the mirror’s surface, revealing the shop’s settings interface.
“This is the core of the Multiverse Shop’s operation. Each host starts with fifty Realm Coins and one chance to draw from the shop’s categories. The rest must be earned by the host. Do you wish to begin drawing now?”
“Meow~” Yes.
“Detected that the host’s current plane is a low-level level two spiritual energy world, specifically the Beastman plane. The host can currently draw from low-level level one world categories.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for activating the low-level level one technology world shop.”
The mirror’s image changes, transforming into a shop homepage, similar to shopping websites on Earth, but with a much simpler and more sophisticated design and color scheme.
