Supermarkets connect to all realms, it's not too much for a succubus to like me, is it?

Lin Mo smiled slightly, but a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes:

"Don't worry, I will strengthen security measures. The presence of you law enforcement officers makes my little shop feel safer."

Zhao Qinghan continued to scan the supermarket.

Lin Mo noticed her doubt and seized the opportunity to say:

"Officer, I'm quite shaken, so I need to close the shop and rest for a while. I hope you can understand."

Zhao Qinghan nodded and turned to leave the supermarket.

Lin Mo watched her retreating figure, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

Su Jiu'er thought she had finished helping and was about to say goodbye and leave when Lin Mo pulled her aside and gave her a lecture, the gist of which was that he wanted to sign an employment agreement with her, and that he would take care of all her cultivation shop business from now on.

Su Jiu'er had previously thought the boss was excessively generous, but now that she had a way out, she immediately agreed.

[Ding! New employee successfully bound!]

[First containment mission completed. Reward: 2000 million Realm Points.]

Lin Mo was secretly delighted; these points had come at just the right time.

[Points requirements met, store manager privileges activated...]

With a thought, Lin Mo pulled Su Jiu'er along, and their figures instantly faded and disappeared from the spot.

next second.

They appeared in a strange, pure white space that seemed to have no boundaries.

This is the interior space of the "Multiverse Supermarket System," and also Lin Mo's absolute territory as the store manager.

"Boss, what's going on here...?"

This was Su Jiu'er's first time entering this place. She looked around curiously, her eyes filled with awe.

"Don't bother looking at it anymore, you'll have plenty of time to study it later."

Lin Mo didn't have time to explain to her and went straight to the huge control screen in the center of the space.

The supermarket's various data are clearly displayed on the light screen.

【World Supermarket】

[Level: LV1]

Experience points: 2000/1000

[Review: A fledgling shop barely managing to survive in the cracks of the human realm.]

"My experience points have overflowed, perfect."

Without hesitation, Lin Mo stretched out his finger and lightly tapped "LV1" in the "Level" column.

"Zero! Upgrade me!"

At his command, a cold, impatient electronic voice rang out in the space.

[The store manager has proactively requested an upgrade; the conditions have been met, and the process is in progress...]

[1000 million Realm Points deducted...]

[Supermarket level upgraded! Current level: LV2!]

"Boom—"

As if it were an illusion, the entire system space trembled slightly.

On that huge light screen, data was being refreshed rapidly.

[Level: LV2]

Experience points: 1000/10000

[Review: A beginner-level shop that has finally escaped the starting zone and is now qualified to serve customers from 'low-magic planes'.]

[Upgrade Reward: Permanently expands shop area by 5 square meters, unlocks 'Celestial Basic Groceries' shelves.]

Lin Mo and Su Jiu'er were instantly teleported back to the supermarket.

The previously cramped store space had suddenly expanded.

The wall that was previously piled with brooms, mops and other miscellaneous items is now undergoing a dramatic transformation.

The paint on the wall is cracking inch by inch!

Countless fragments, like building blocks manipulated by an invisible giant hand, frantically tumbled and snapped together in mid-air.

The light and shadow were torn and distorted.

"boom--!"

A three-meter-long crystal shelf was embedded into the wall without any visible gaps! It was completely translucent, with starlight flashing wildly inside.

The shelves were empty, except for a line of small seal script characters that emitted a soft white light and floated above:

[Special offer from the Celestial Realm]

"Holy crap, this is way faster than a renovation company tearing down walls!"

Lin Mo whistled, quite satisfied with the upgrade effect.

however.

Before he could even feel happy for two seconds, the snobbish system sprite "Zero" came online again, its voice still as emotionless as ever.

[Warning! New shelf detected, triggering a 'forced restocking task'!]

[Task Name: The First Order from the Celestial Realm (Fake)]

[Task Description: Any qualified supplier must possess a strategic vision that leads the market.]

[Please have the store manager complete the stock preparation as soon as possible.]

"A mandatory mission? Is there really such a good thing?"

Lin Mo was taken aback. There was even a system to help with product selection?

[In the process of preparing inventory...]

[The store manager's personal bank account balance was detected to be 100000.00 yuan.]

[Deducting... Deduction successful.]

"bite"

Lin Mo received a text message from the bank on his phone. His eyelids twitched, and he quickly picked it up to take a look. He was instantly horrified.

【您尾号xxxx的储蓄卡帐户于3月24日23:45完成一笔消费，金额100000.00元，当前可用余额：0.38元。】

"Zero! You son of a bitch! You swallowed all my savings for a wife?!"

Lin Mo almost spat out a mouthful of blood; that was something he had painstakingly tricked...

Wow, that's my first pot of gold!

The funds have been automatically converted into equivalent goods; no thanks are needed.

Zero's voice seemed to carry a hint of smugness, as if to say, "You've hit the jackpot."

[Product Name: High-proof Erguotou (A Local Specialty, a Powerful Spirit)]

Quantity: One hundred boxes.

[Storage location: System repository.]

[Product Description: A 'low-quality' beverage made from fermented and distilled grains, containing a large amount of unrefined 'fire toxin' (industrial alcohol)]

[While extremely lethal to mortals, its explosive and pure "fire essence" aura possesses a deadly attraction for certain low-level cultivators who have long lacked spiritual nourishment.]

Lin Mo stared at the pile of product descriptions, his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

So, he exchanged 100,000 yuan for 100 cases of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor)?

If you buy this stuff wholesale, a box of it will only cost a few hundred yuan at most.

The system's middleman profits are outrageous!

But before he could continue complaining, a flash of light appeared on the newly unlocked [Immortal Realm Special] shelf.

Rows of simply packaged green bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) appeared neatly on the shelf, instantly filling half of it.

"Well, the money's all spent. Hopefully, it'll fetch a good price..."

Lin Mo had no choice but to accept reality and began to plan how to exaggerate this thing into a miraculous elixir and sell it to future immortal customers.

Time passed by, second by second.

The clock struck midnight.

The supermarket's brand-new glass door, which had just been installed, was suddenly smashed open from the outside with a loud bang!

A figure rushed in and fell face-first into the mud.

Lin Mo and Su Jiu'er, who was mopping the floor, both looked up at the same time.

The newcomer was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a faded gray Taoist robe with worn-out collar and cuffs, and a pair of tattered straw sandals with holes in them, revealing a few dark toes.

His face was withered, his lips were chapped, and he exuded a sour, rotten smell from long-term malnutrition.

But what is most striking are his bloodshot eyes and his uncontrollable, violently trembling hands.

"Wine...wine..."
