Following the route, Li Mu Chuan arrived at the pharmacy.

What Li Mu Chuan didn't expect was that the salesperson in the pharmacy was actually an artificial intelligence.

"Hello, what do you need? If you don't know what medicine to buy, you can tell me your symptoms, and Xiao Fang can help you with some basic medicine."

A screen next to him spoke to Li Mu Chuan as he entered.

It was truly humanized. With this kind of artificial intelligence in the pharmacy, people buying medicine wouldn't feel embarrassed.

"I need Eye Cream Dapoxetine, fourteen boxes."

Li Mu Chuan was relieved now. When he first arrived, he was thinking about how awkward it would be to directly ask for fourteen boxes of medicine.

Now it was fine; it was an artificial intelligence, so there was no awkwardness at all.

"Okay, I'll get the medicine for you now."

As the words fell, a robotic arm on the ceiling responded, retrieved the medicine, and placed it in front of the cashier counter.

"Please check out."

Li Mu Chuan stepped forward upon hearing this, then took out the banknotes and placed them on the counter.

The robotic arm on the counter collected the money and verified the banknotes. After confirming they were correct, it put the money away.

Li Mu Chuan took the bag containing the purchased medicine and left the pharmacy.

After arriving at a platform, seeing that there was no one around, Li Mu Chuan unpacked the boxes one by one, took out the pills inside, and put them into his personal space.

This way, these medicines could be taken back.

After doing all this, Li Mu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He would think about how to sell these medicines later.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money, and his personal space wasn't large, so the things he could buy were quite limited.

Li Mu Chuan casually threw the disassembled medicine boxes into the trash can.

He was pondering in his mind how to get some more interference points.

According to the understanding of interference points, one could obtain such points only by helping the progress of this world.

Simply finding a country in this world and saying that he was a transmigrator would probably be useless.

Li Mu Chuan didn't know much about this world at the moment.

As for interfering with the trajectory of this world's operation? It seemed unreliable no matter how he looked at it.

Thinking this, Li Mu Chuan felt a headache.

Without interference points, there was no way to expand his space, which would be extremely detrimental to the next transmigration.

"Gurgle..."

Li Mu Chuan sat on the chair, still thinking about this matter.

Suddenly, his stomach started to rumble.

Looking up again, the sky had already grown dark.

Li Mu Chuan suddenly realized that he had spent a lot of time looking up various materials in the library earlier.

Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't eaten for almost a day.

With this thought, Li Mu Chuan looked left and right along the street.

He still had a few hundred yuan left, and he didn't know how high the prices were for food here.

After searching for a moment, Li Mu Chuan eventually entered a restaurant.

The glass table at the seat was a smart display.

Li Mu Chuan observed that this thing could be used to watch videos or order food.

He looked through the menu, and the food wasn't very expensive; he could afford it.

Looking at it this way, he didn't have to worry about not having money to eat for the remaining few days.

Li Mu Chuan ordered a bowl of noodles, which cost forty yuan.

Considering the restaurant's decor, it wasn't actually expensive, and the taste was decent.

After Li Mu Chuan finished eating and left the restaurant, as he walked on the street, he saw that the entire city seemed to have come alive.

The whole city was filled with various dazzling lights, rapidly flying hovercars, and bustling streets.

Tall buildings directly transformed into giant screens, displaying dancing women or the deep starry sky.

Within the starry sky, there were even space fortresses.

Extremely striking women occasionally walked past Li Mu Chuan, their dresses incredibly sexy.

He didn't know how these dresses were made; even without wind, they somehow gave the feeling of being gently blown.

This way, girls wearing these dresses could constantly feel their skirts fluttering.

This design was truly amazing. What many girls loved most was spinning around while wearing a skirt.

Feeling how their skirts moved when blown by the wind.

With this design, the sales of these skirts would definitely not be low.

"Hey, I won a spot! The time is set for the third of next month! I can take a spaceship for a three-day trip to space then!"

Just as Li Mu Chuan was marveling at how nice the other party's skirt was, a woman next to him excitedly spoke to her companion.

The woman's companion was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then became extremely envious.

"You won a spot? A three-day trip, that good?"

"Yeah, I just happened to win it today by chance!"

The woman speaking was also extremely excited at this moment, her smooth, oval face inexplicably showing great excitement.

The other women nearby expressed their envy one after another. Traveling to space was their dream.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing required a lottery. With a nationwide lottery, the probability of each person winning was simply too low.

Even so, not a single person missed the daily lottery.

This was a unique right for their country's citizens, and only citizens of their own country were eligible to participate.

There's such a good thing?

Li Mu Chuan listened for a moment from the side, then felt a bit envious.

It was a pity that this opportunity wouldn't fall to him; he didn't even have the identification chip that citizens of this country should have.

Thinking of this, Li Mu Chuan couldn't help but shake his head.

By night, there were significantly more pedestrians on the road.

However, as time passed, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased again. It seemed everyone had their own places to enjoy themselves.

There weren't many people aimlessly walking on the street, Li Mu Chuan saw clearly.

At this moment, Li Mu Chuan felt extremely helpless. He had nowhere to stay right now, and tomorrow he wouldn't even have a place to wash his face or brush his teeth.

What should he do?

If possible, finding an internet cafe and just staying there overnight without using a computer seemed like a viable option.

What made Li Mu Chuan a bit helpless was that he didn't see any internet cafes around. He didn't know if internet cafes had been phased out or if they had changed their business model.

But this meant he was destined to endure the night alone.

Fortunately, the temperature wasn't too low tonight.

With this thought, Li Mu Chuan prepared to find a park to make do for the night.

However, at this moment, Li Mu Chuan suddenly saw police officers in uniform ahead, conducting some kind of check.

Not only did passing pedestrians have to answer questions, but they also had to show their chip information.

"Damn!"

Seeing this scene, Li Mu Chuan immediately felt a little panicked. He glanced left and right, then quickly turned onto another road.

He didn't have an identification chip, so it was better not to interact with them.

After all, people like him would be directly deported.

Even if Li Mu Chuan told them he was a time traveler, Li Mu Chuan didn't think they would believe him.

Most likely, they would treat him as someone who wanted to stay here and was fabricating lies.
