Shopping

The shop Xi Shenlian entered.

It was called a shop.

In reality, it was somewhat similar to a comprehensive fashion mall.

It was a comprehensive store formed by gathering multiple departments under a major brand together.

It had seven floors in total, each slightly larger than a football field.

In this prosperous district.

The value of the shop's premises alone was already equivalent to that of a large, well-run company. Without several tens of billions of yen, it would have been impossible to acquire it.

Following behind the sales associate.

Xi Shenlian could clearly see that there were at least dozens of other sales associates waiting for customers nearby.

Although they all wore identical clothing, every one of them had an excellent figure and appearance.

On a scale of ten.

The average was probably around seven once they were properly dressed.

This fully demonstrated that the scarcity of beautiful women was merely relative. Depending on the area, the proportion of beautiful women would also vary.

For those with power and money, beautiful women had never been in short supply.

Here.

Whenever a customer entered, they would proactively approach to greet them, take them to different areas according to their needs, and handle all sorts of subsequent tasks, effectively providing each customer with a personal attendant.

Faced with Xi Shenlian entering the shop.

The customers passing by also showed more or less puzzled expressions.

Clearly, they were somewhat confused about why Xi Shenlian was dressed like that.

In this place.

Even the shop's security guards and suppliers were dressed better and more neatly than he was.

But no one said anything from beginning to end.

At most, they frowned or quietly discussed it with their friends for a few sentences. No one foolishly shouted and made a scene like a wild monster, allowing Xi Shenlian to farm experience.

They assumed that since the security guards had let Xi Shenlian in, there had to be a reason.

Xi Shenlian, meanwhile, paid no attention to their opinions or thoughts. He merely surveyed his surroundings and the clothing and bearing of the various customers in silence.

Then he silently weighed the differences in his mind.

He understood.

There was ultimately an essential difference between a nouveau riche bumpkin and the true elite.

That was true of everything from their habits to their underlying background.

Some of the people around him were targets worth learning from.

In this place filled with wealthy people.

Some men and women possessed such exceptional bearing that they seemed to exude an indescribable air of nobility and composure, easily distinguishing them from nouveau riche.

And that was precisely what Xi Shenlian lacked—or rather, what he had yet to accumulate.

At the same time.

Looking at the expressions of the passersby, he recalled some information he had seen in his previous life.

True nobles often revealed on their faces the composure and calm that came after their desires had been satisfied. They possessed none of the tackiness of commerce, as though there were nothing they needed to care about.

Thinking of this.

A faint smile appeared on Xi Shenlian's face.

He felt that.

In this regard, perhaps he would soon have some realization?

After all...

Everything in this world would belong to him, and his desires would naturally be satisfied as well.

The only difference was whether it happened sooner or later...

Don't ask why he was so confident.

The answer was that he had already started cheating in broad daylight.

Do as you please.

He was going to cheat anyway~

And at that moment.

Witnessing his genuine smile.

A married woman not far away, who had originally been frowning slightly over his clothing, unexpectedly blushed when she saw it.

Several thoughts immediately arose in her mind.

His clothes aren't much...

But he really is handsome...

Unable to resist, she looked at Xi Shenlian several more times.

The eagerness in her eyes.

Left Xi Shenlian somewhat baffled.

--

Before long.

The seventh floor of the shop.

Xi Shenlian arrived at the most expensive section of the entire store.

Upon reaching it.

A row of staff in suits immediately bowed to Xi Shenlian.

The sales associate also took the opportunity to introduce the area:

"Sir, this is our most central sales area."

"Everything here is the finest of the fine."

"Of course, the prices are also at a level ordinary people can hardly afford. To provide the highest-quality service, we even have a large number of employees dedicated to measuring each customer's physique on-site, allowing us to offer the best possible service... But before that, for business purposes, we need to verify the assets of every new customer..."

The earlier words had actually been nothing but filler.

The final sentence was the only point that mattered.

As she spoke, the sales associate secretly observed Xi Shenlian's expression.

She understood that if Xi Shenlian truly had the ability to spend on the seventh floor, her commission for the month would be secured.

Thus, in addition to the formulaic introduction, her words also carried a faintly ingratiating tone.

Xi Shenlian said nothing. He simply produced a Super Card from thin air.

It was the one March Bank had provided earlier.

It also held the least money among all his Super Cards.

At that instant.

The sales associate knew she was set.

As a group that frequently came into contact with the powerful and wealthy.

Although they themselves had little money and were pure wage earners.

They were professionals when it came to judging who was rich.

The instant she saw the Super Card, her mind automatically identified what level of bank card it was.

Furthermore.

With just one glance, she used its material and pattern to determine, as if she had a built-in scanner, that it was a genuine card.

So the sales associate, who had just asked to verify his assets, immediately bowed again.

"How rude of me!"

"Please, feel free to look around!!"

Xi Shenlian, however, did not care what she thought. He casually tossed the Super Card to her like a playing card and said:

"Take me to choose some clothes."

"Of course. I'll arrange for someone to measure you right away."

Then came all sorts of tests.

"Height: 182 centimeters."

"Leg length... upper body... arm width..."

To be honest.

The process was somewhat bewildering.

Although Xi Shenlian did not understand the specifics.

It still looked quite professional.

The only minor issue was that the measurer could not resist taking the opportunity to touch his pectoral and abdominal muscles a few times.

Although it was somewhat presumptuous.

Considering that she was attractive.

Xi Shenlian, generous by nature, ultimately forgave her.

Especially after she sincerely and apologetically offered him her phone number.

Watching her deliberately reveal her cleavage while expressing her apology.

Although his expression did not change, Xi Shenlian silently nodded in agreement inwardly:

Very good. I have received your sincerity.

At the end.

Xi Shenlian made one small request.

When selecting clothes and shoes, he wanted two additional sets of the same items in larger sizes.

This was because, as an Awakened, his body was currently in a period of rapid development, so his physique would inevitably continue to grow quickly to a certain extent.
