"Quite a few good things here, and they all looked pretty impressive."

Li Mu Chuan looked at the various items for sale on the forum, his eyes immediately growing envious. But when he saw the prices, he wilted at once.

He checked the current price of gold in this world: 450 per gram.

Thirty grams would be 13,500.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan felt a small surge of joy. It seemed he was not all that poor after all.

But after glancing over those electronic products, Li Mu Chuan felt helpless. Those things were too large. Even if he bought the cheap ones, he would not be able to take them back.

If possible, could he pick out some smaller, more portable things to bring back?

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan immediately changed his search criteria.

But the items that came up in his next search immediately opened his eyes: miniature speakers, miniature cameras, micro electric pens, and all sorts of similar things.

There were plenty of them, but no matter how he looked at it, none of them suited Li Mu Chuan's needs.

Seeing this, Li Mu Chuan immediately felt discouraged.

Still, this micro electric pen caught Li Mu Chuan's interest.

It was a tiny little rod, yet it could release a nonlethal electric arc and knock someone down.

It would be excellent for self-defense, but Li Mu Chuan's portable storage space was too small right now. If he brought this back, he could forget about taking anything else with him.

Shaking his head, Li Mu Chuan pushed that thought aside.

After thinking it over from every angle, Li Mu Chuan suddenly raised his brows.

"Right, maybe I can look at medicine. Medicine is easy to carry!"

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan hurriedly began searching through various medications.

"Gene Serum, 88,000 per dose."

"Hemolytic Serum, 109,000 per dose."

"Whitening Serum, 11,000 per dose."

Unlike the medications from before, modern medicine had more or less become various kinds of serums.

Looking at the exquisite images of these serums, Li Mu Chuan's eyes were nearly dazzled.

Most of these serums were transparent, but they all came equipped with Automatic Injectors.

The Automatic Injector looked heavily metallic on the outside, yet it was extremely small. According to the instructions, it only needed to be brought close to the arm.

The Automatic Injector could then administer the injection on its own.

Many of these serums treated a wide range of illnesses. The most advanced medicines for leukemia, heart disease, and other conditions were all available here.

There was also Gene Serum. According to the description, it was extremely powerful and could strengthen the body.

Li Mu Chuan was a little tempted. He had no idea how effective the serum really was, but the price still made him hesitate.

In addition, many terminal illnesses here had already found a path toward treatment.

Li Mu Chuan searched more carefully and found that he had never even heard of many of the serums, nor had he heard of the various illnesses they treated.

After all, Li Mu Chuan was not a medical professional, so he truly did not know much about some diseases.

Still, just reading the descriptions made them seem incredibly impressive.

It would be great if he could bring this advanced medical knowledge back with him, Li Mu Chuan thought with a sigh.

The serums were too expensive. Li Mu Chuan could not afford them.

Moreover, after trying just now, Li Mu Chuan discovered that he needed to enter his Identity Chip in order to make a purchase.

He did not have one of those, so buying anything was completely impossible.

After looking into it carefully, Li Mu Chuan discovered that shopping in this world was still extremely developed.

But everyone could only have one account, and without an account, it was impossible to buy things online.

Even if he really could buy something, Li Mu Chuan did not have the money in an account to pay for it.

"What should I do next?"

Li Mu Chuan pondered the matter. Once he sold the gold, he would have a little over ten thousand.

That amount was neither much nor little.

It was enough to buy some things, but whatever he bought still had to be something he could take back and cash in on.

"Huh, what's this...?"

As Li Mu Chuan browsed the page, he suddenly noticed an ad pop up on the webpage before him.

Ads like this were quite common, but what it advertised was far from common.

"Good news! Buy Dapoxetine Hydrochloride now and enjoy a discount!"

Dapoxetine Hydrochloride? Wasn't that...

Li Mu Chuan's expression instantly turned strange when he saw the name, but he soon perked up.

If these pills had been upgraded, bringing them back would be a great idea!

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan immediately became energized.

After looking into it carefully, he discovered that modern Dapoxetine Hydrochloride really was quite different from its earlier version.

It was only because Dapoxetine Hydrochloride had been sold for so long and the public was familiar with the name that it had not been changed.

These pills now lasted longer and had even more powerful effects.

Looking at the price, one box contained six pills and cost 850.

That came to a little over 140 per pill on average.

Li Mu Chuan looked at his portable storage space again. Pills of that size should let him fit more than ten of them inside.

But the money he had on hand was a little insufficient. He could buy fourteen boxes, eighty-four pills.

Li Mu Chuan's eyes flickered. Maybe he should buy this medicine.

After all, individual pills of this kind were already expensive on Earth. These were even more effective, so if he sold each one for a higher price later, he should not have to worry about finding buyers.

Besides, he could buy them directly from a pharmacy without needing to purchase them online.

With that thought, Li Mu Chuan hurriedly stood up and left the library.

After asking where the gold shop was, Li Mu Chuan made his way there.

Seeing a customer enter, the shop owner greeted him warmly. "What can I get for you?"

"Do you buy gold?"

Li Mu Chuan glanced around before asking.

"We do!"

The shop owner's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Li Mu Chuan expectantly.

He could make a bit of profit by buying back gold.

Li Mu Chuan reached into his pocket, and a gold chain appeared in his hand.

"Take a look and see how much it's worth."

"Sure. Do you have proof of purchase? An online shopping record would work too."

"I lost it."

Li Mu Chuan answered directly, his expression calm.

The shop owner paused slightly but did not say much. "Without proof of purchase, I can only offer you 400 per gram."

"Fine."

Li Mu Chuan had already expected the other party to offer a lower price before coming here. Four hundred was still within his estimated range.

Seeing how straightforward Li Mu Chuan was, the shop owner tested the gold, confirmed there was no problem with it, and readily prepared to pay him.

"I want cash."

Seeing that the man was about to make a transfer, Li Mu Chuan quickly said.

The shop owner did not say much. He kept some cash in the store, enough to pay for this gold chain.

Very soon, a stack of bright red banknotes was tucked into Li Mu Chuan's pocket.

Li Mu Chuan walked out clutching that stack of bills, and every passerby he looked at seemed like a thief.
