Chapter 15 Staring Straight Ahead

When the Space Mall APP was launched, Mei Mengzhen couldn't help but be amazed at how intelligent the Osmanthus Tree was, but why wasn't this feature mentioned in the previous letter?

Could it be that no one knew about it, and she just happened to discover it?

But then again, whether others knew about it or not wasn't her concern, as long as she figured it out, that was all that mattered.

However, the Spatial Mall was truly intelligent; not only could she buy things, but she could also sell them, with items being sent instantly upon sale and received immediately upon purchase.

But, the money earned in the Spatial Mall APP could only be spent within the APP itself.

In other words, no matter how much money she made there, it wasn't allowed to be taken out.

Mei Mengzhen could understand this to an extent; how could the money earned be taken out? It certainly couldn't just be deposited into her bank account out of thin air; if that were the case, it would be defying the natural order.

But to use the Spatial Mall, her APP balance needed to have money in it first.

So, where would the money come from? Well, opening a store to sell things was the obvious first step.

Not far away, Mei Mengzhen saw the vegetables she had just planted in the ground and immediately came up with an idea. She could sell vegetables—after all, where couldn't vegetables be sold? The ones produced in her space tasted so good that whether it was outside or inside the Spatial Mall, they were bound to fetch a good price.

Mei Mengzhen naturally thought this as she leaned against the Osmanthus Tree, using her right hand to swipe and tap until her store registration was complete. Next, it was time to list the vegetables for sale.

Mei Mengzhen moved the vegetables in front of her with her mind, followed by a series of operations. As soon as the plump and transparent cabbages were listed, the pile of vegetables in front of her disappeared, turning into a number in the backend. As soon as someone paid on that side, the backend would immediately ship the order—very intelligent operations.

But after listing them, she realized that such a large, tasty cabbage was only being sold for one yuan in the Spatial Mall. Wasn't this pricing too outrageous? Even if she took these vegetables outside to sell, they wouldn't possibly go for just one yuan. Wasn't the Spatial Mall cheating her?

She wanted to change the price, but a prompt from the Spatial Mall popped up, indicating that the backend would assess the price of the items she was selling. However, the cabbage was only worth one yuan, so modifying the price was prohibited.

Mei Mengzhen could hardly believe that the vegetables from her space were selling for so cheap in the Spatial Mall. Therefore, she listed a bunch of radishes, but the pricing was the same—one yuan each.

Her radishes, so fresh and tasty, why did they have to be sold so cheap?

Unwilling to accept this, she contacted the customer service directly. Yes, the Spatial Mall had a customer service too.

However, after she asked her question, the response from the customer service was this: Dear customer, over here, these items are all pig feed, and the price is already not low.

Mei Mengzhen almost choked on her breath and quickly asked: Where the heck are you from, using such good vegetables to feed pigs?

The customer service replied, but what came back was a string of garbled text. She thought they were cursing her, but the customer service kept explaining that the message couldn't go through.

Mei Mengzhen rolled her eyes and exited the chat, muttering curses.

In the end, it was all about what they fed pigs, so that's why the price was what it was.

But this meant that although she could sell vegetables in the Spatial Mall, she couldn't sell them for a high price, which wasn't cost-effective.

And she couldn't help remarking, "Your pigs really eat like kings."

Cabbages and radishes for one yuan each, intended for pig feed, she hadn't... ahem, never mind, what's the point in worrying about it?

In fact, her space had more than just vegetables; there were Ganoderma and Ginseng under the thatched cottage, and gold and jewels above. These items surely couldn't just be one yuan each, right?

She went to the thatched cottage, took a Ginseng and a Ganoderma, and grabbed a string of jewels and a piece of gold, then came under the Osmanthus Tree to test them out one by one.

A Ginseng as thick as a baby's arm was only priced at 50 yuan. She didn't dare to list it; she withdrew it immediately.

The Ganoderma was the same. A Ganoderma as big as a face only selling for 20 yuan was too much for her to bear.

On the contrary, a single string of jewels sold for a high price of 6000 yuan, and the piece of gold, although she didn't know how many grams it was, felt substantial in her hand; it eventually sold for 270,000 yuan, which was a pretty good price.

This meant that the things from within the space were not valuable, but she couldn't quite determine whether the money exchanged for items from outside of the space was of equivalent value. But now she knew one thing for sure: she was rich.

Besides the vegetables, which she had barely touched, the jewels and the gold nugget were almost sold as soon as they were listed.

And her APP balance suddenly became 276,002 yuan; with money in her wallet, she wasn't as concerned about a few singular yuans anymore.

Also, due to the appearance of the Spatial Mall APP, she could resolve her needs for certain purchases right here.

What she wanted to do most was to plant some trees and raise some poultry, like fruit trees, chickens, ducks, pigs, and the like—all things used in everyday life. If she had them herself, she wouldn't need to go out and buy them later, which would make cooking more convenient after school.

Selling was done; now it was time to buy.

She was still quite worried that the things she wanted to buy might be expensive, given the 'inequalities' of the Spatial Mall. However, her worries were completely unnecessary.

The items she wanted to search for had very reasonable prices, and the younger the year, the cheaper the price.

Unbelievably, an apple sapling only cost 5 yuan.

Mei Mengzhen hesitated for a long time because she couldn't quite believe it. In the end, she decided to start by buying one apple sapling and see how it grew before deciding whether to buy other things.

Orders on Spatial Mall shipped and arrived instantly. After a few clicks, the apple sapling appeared before her eyes.

Planting required her to do it by hand, whether vegetables or trees. She picked up the sapling, found a corner, and "threw" it in.

No need for fertilizer or water, she just waited and it would grow on its own.

Mei Mengzhen stood there watching for quite a while, observing the sapling grow from a small stick into a tree, strengthening and thickening until it eventually became a robust plant. The whole process took only two hours.

She didn't do anything during those two hours but stare. Yet, she found the process exceedingly interesting.

However, no matter how much the tree grew, that was that. She realized she had been inside for more than two hours already, and if she continued, who knew how long she would watch? She exited the space in a flash of thought.

When she emerged, she opened her eyes and saw Mei Mengchen blinking his shiny large eyes right beside her bed, staring at her intently, much like how she had been watching the tree a moment ago.
