The Supreme Martial Arts Master in the World of Nine

"sure!"

Zhao Yi smiled and nodded.

Since he's free anyway, he figured he might as well accompany Ren Tingting shopping and maybe even buy some things.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" Ren Tingting's face lit up with joy.

Let's go!

Zhao Yi smiled and followed Ren Tingting out of the tea restaurant.

The two strolled around casually for a bit before arriving at Qiu Sheng's aunt's shop.

"Junior brother, you've arrived. And who is this young lady?"

When Qiu Sheng saw Zhao Yi and Ren Tingting push the door open and enter, his eyes lit up.

"Senior brother, this is the daughter of Master Ren. She's here to buy some cosmetics," Zhao Yi said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Qiu Sheng nodded, then a slightly ingratiating look appeared on his face as he began to introduce Ren Tingting.

Ten minutes later, Ren Tingting left the shop satisfied.

"That woman is so beautiful. I wish I could be her wife." Qiu Sheng looked at her departing figure with a sense of regret.

"However, the junior brother and she seem to be a good match."

After Zhao Yi and Ren Tingting left, they strolled around the town for a while.

After buying some osmanthus cakes and daily necessities, Zhao Yi also bought a few casual suits.

"This is your restaurant? I never knew you were a good cook!"

Ren Tingting followed Zhao Yi to the restaurant, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest.

"It's alright. I can come and try it when the restaurant opens."

"My signature dishes are pretty good," Zhao Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll definitely be there to support you," Ren Tingting said with a smile.

After chatting for another half hour, Ren Tingting left with a smile.

After all, Zhao Yi was a seasoned veteran, and his various risqué jokes made Ren Tingting both embarrassed and delighted.

"Master and Mr. Ren agreed on a time three days from now, but the worker will have to wait two more days to start work."

"Since we're just killing time anyway, let's go to the provincial capital."

"I've never been to the provincial capital before. It would be good to go and have a look around, and I can exchange all the silver notes while I'm at it."

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yi decided to go to the provincial capital.

After all, there's nothing much going on in town now.

He wasn't cut out for cultivation; Zhao Yi felt it would take at least ten years to even begin to grasp the basics of the Maoshan Great Cave True Scripture.

If he had that much time, his physical condition would have improved to an unknown level.

"I'll wait for my physical condition to improve, which will passively increase my strength."

"Anyway, if I encounter evil spirits or sorcery, I will still have my own qi and blood to fight back."

"If anyone is blind, I still have an indestructible body and some martial arts skills."

"By the way, I'll go back and ask my master if our Maoshan Tiandao Sect has any secret manuals for martial arts."

"Qiu Sheng has mastered kung fu quite well, so he should have some kind of secret manual."

With these thoughts in mind, Zhao Yi closed the restaurant door, got into a rickshaw, and headed towards the provincial capital.

Renjia Town is not too far from the provincial capital, about 200 miles away.

In later times, it would only take a little over an hour to drive there.

In this era of warlord chaos, having a horse-drawn carriage was already a blessing, as it would take at least three hours.

However, with the Heavenly Soldier A-Da pulling the cart, it only took half an hour to get there.

This wasn't even at full speed; Zhao Yi enjoyed the scenery along the way while eating, which was quite pleasant.

"Let's go into town!"

Zhao Yi rode a rickshaw into the city.

"As expected of the provincial capital, its level of prosperity is far superior to that of Renjia Town."

"Now that we have a spatial artifact, we can buy more things. We're not worried about not having a place to put them."

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Yi's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Let's go to the foreign goods store first and see if they have anything good!"

Zhao Yi immediately inquired about it and headed to the shop.

"Daguang Department Store!"

"This place is nice!"

A three-story Western-style building, combining Chinese and Western architectural styles, stands in the bustling street. Its blue brick walls and off-white plaster facade give it a neat and dignified appearance.

Even in later generations, one glance would tell it was a high-end shopping mall.

Especially the side facing the street, which has floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Not only does it look crystal clear, but it also displays many precious items inside, and you can see its dazzling brilliance from a distance.

"This is far superior to any shop run by comprador Hong!" Zhao Yi couldn't help but exclaim.

Hong, the comprador, had a shop that was considered high-class in Renjia Town.

Compared to the department stores in front of us, it's like the difference between a small village shop and a large supermarket.

Welcome!

Welcome!

As soon as we entered the hall, two tall female greeters in cheongsams spoke to us.

"As expected of the provincial capital, the quality of these female greeters is truly high!" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up.

Both of the greeters were 1.75 meters tall with long legs, and their cheongsams accentuated their perfect figures.

"Hey, can I use your silver notes directly?" Zhao Yi asked one of the female greeters.

"Sir, we accept all banknotes issued by the three provincial banks," the female greeter said.

"Um!"

Zhao Yi nodded.

This saves the trouble of exchanging money at the money exchange.

Otherwise, he would have to go to the money exchange first before he could spend the money; now he can spend it first.

"Rolex? Not bad, I'll get one!" Zhao Yi's eyes lit up immediately.

This was a watch he had always dreamed of, but he couldn't bear to buy it.

"Come on, let me see this watch!"

Zhao Yi pointed directly to the top-tier gold Rolex in the best position and said.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. This is one of our store's signature items."

The female employee at the counter immediately smiled and spoke respectfully.

"Okay, let me see it!" Zhao Yi nodded.

The other party quickly picked up the watch and handed it to Zhao Yi.

"It's really good, very beautiful!" Zhao Yi was more and more satisfied as he looked at it.

In the end, I bought it for 2800 yuan.

Next, Zhao Yi started shopping again.

Gramophone, diamond pen, foreign paper, genuine leather sofa set, whiskey, champagne, British leather shoes, German rubber shoes, French olive oil soap...

Just enjoy it however you like.

"Now, each draw in the system costs 4000 yuan, and a five-draw costs 20,000 yuan."

"It's better to spend this money; you need gold and merit points to participate in the lottery."

Zhao Yi spends money without a second thought.

At the beginning, I felt a little heartbroken, since these were all chances to win a prize.

However, as the system level increases, the value of silver coins decreases, while the value of merit points increases.

"Cherry blossom stink bugs are still more valuable; killing one is enough to win one or two prizes."

Zhao Yi continued his shopping spree, eventually spending over 40,000 silver dollars before leaving the department store.

The things I bought filled several large boxes, and in the end, they were all put on the newly bought rickshaw.

Zhao Yi had A'da pull a rickshaw pretending to deliver goods out of the city, but in reality, the goods were all put into the copper granary magic vessel.

He then started wandering around again.

After all, the provincial capital is very large, and there are countless shops. Almost everything that existed in later generations is now present.

"This is much more prosperous than some third- or fourth-tier cities decades later."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Um?"

Just then, Zhao Yi suddenly felt uneasy.

He subconsciously looked up and saw a large signboard hanging above the shop in front of him.

Toyo Shokai (Oriental Chamber of Commerce)
