Big business

Liu Ren took the order, holding the note written by Li Shimin, and received one thousand two hundred silver coins from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Carrying this over sixty-pound box, he headed towards the Ruyi Supermarket.

Lin Shen was now feeling a bit troubled. Since Princess Changle left, there hadn't been any customers in the store. Although passersby were curious, they hesitated after seeing the imposing iron gate and didn't dare to come in. This situation was giving Lin Shen a headache, as he hadn't anticipated it.

The titanium alloy gate naturally exuded an imposing aura, but to ordinary people, it seemed like a place they couldn't enter. There was an invisible threshold.

Lin Shen was thinking about how to solve this problem when a man dressed in luxurious clothing suddenly walked in from outside, carrying a half-sized box, sweating profusely and panting heavily. It was Liu Ren, the imperial guard of Li Shimin.

He cautiously pushed the door open and walked in. "Excuse me, what would you like, sir?" Lin Shen asked politely, getting up from his chair.

Liu Ren bowed slightly. "The person who came today is my lord. I've been ordered by her to come and buy some things."

"There are one thousand two hundred silver coins in this box," he added.

Lin Shen's eyes lit up instantly. "All of it is to buy things?"

Liu Ren nodded. "Yes."

Lin Shen reached under the box, and Liu Ren felt his body lighten as the huge box was effortlessly lifted by Lin Shen with one hand. With his other hand, Lin Shen opened the box and began counting.

With the blessing of the Ancestral Dragon's bloodline, Lin Shen had no concept of weight. He appeared very relaxed. Seeing this, Liu Ren's heart tightened. That was over sixty pounds!

However, Lin Shen seemed to handle it with ease. Upon seeing this scene, Liu Ren was astonished. Lin Shen's strength was incredible.

After finishing the count, Lin Shen confirmed that there were indeed one thousand two hundred silver coins in the box and placed it down. Then, he turned to Liu Ren and said softly, "Tell me what you need. What my young lady and I said is genuine, and I have everything you want."

Liu Ren cautiously observed Lin Shen's expression but could only see delight. Lin Shen nodded and said, "No problem. But I need to go to the back to get the goods. Please wait a moment."

He then carried a box of silver coins and quickly walked to the back, where his living quarters were. Of course, he couldn't extract the goods from the system's mall blatantly in front of Liu Ren. He just wanted to make money, not to become a charlatan.

In a short while, Lin Shen emerged from the room, carrying several large boxes. "Here, the items you wanted."

Liu Ren counted the goods carefully. It took him over an hour, but there were no discrepancies in the count.

Liu Ren nodded and chuckled, "Thank you, boss."

Lin Shen waved his hand. "Feel free to come back anytime and bring more customers. You know, people hesitate to enter when they see my gate."

"If it weren't for my lord's order, even I wouldn't dare to come in. With an iron gate like yours, it's hard to tell what business you're running," Liu Ren said with a smile.

Lin Shen shook his head. "Well, there are too many precious things in the house. I have to be cautious against thieves."

"Tell your friends and family to come visit more often," Lin Shen said. "Tomorrow, we'll have new items in the supermarket. Come take a look then."

"New items?" Liu Ren was puzzled. "Are they also ingenious items like matches?"

Lin Shen nodded. "Something similar. I haven't decided yet. It could be food, and it definitely won't be worse than the fish tofu."

"It could also be daily necessities, but they'll be good items," Lin Shen added.

"Okay, I'll inform my lord," Liu Ren said solemnly.

After saying goodbye, he squatted down and hugged the boxes, taking a deep breath before exerting effort to lift them. With some difficulty, he managed to lift the boxes, and with the help of Lin Shen, he left the supermarket.

Once they were gone, Lin Shen rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining. A big business of one thousand two hundred silver coins! He hadn't expected to earn so much money on the first day of opening.

Should he save up until he had ten thousand two hundred silver coins and then have a high-level lottery, or should he start with an intermediate one? Lin Shen hesitated. Money left in hand wouldn't breed more money; spending it would bring greater returns.

He gritted his teeth. "Let's go for an intermediate lottery!" Money had to be spent to make money.
