To cure her father's illness, Wu Yuqing readily agreed to help.

Thirty thousand in savings was transferred right back into the Longhua Mall's account in the blink of an eye.

Although Lin Fei felt a bit of a sting, the thought that his few hundred yuan in cost had earned him thirty thousand—a full thousand-fold increase—cheered him up.

If he multiplied thirty thousand's worth of cold drinks and ice cream by a thousand, that would be a full three hundred million!

By then, he would be a billionaire!

Just thinking about it made Lin Fei uncontrollably excited.

Lin Fei exchanged contact information with Wu Yuqing, then lied that he had business to attend to and left first.

Wu Yuqing did not follow Lin Fei either. Anyway, this batch of goods was inside the Longhua Mall's warehouse, and she would know the moment Lin Fei came to pick them up.

With Wu Yuqing's orders, supermarket manager Liu Tao immediately began contacting suppliers and arranged a dedicated cold storage room for Lin Fei to store the goods.

In just over half an hour, the Longhua Mall mobilized enough goods and had people place all of them into the warehouse.

Lin Fei did not leave the Longhua Mall immediately; he wandered around the mall for a bit and bought some things.

After receiving Liu Tao's call, Lin Fei went straight to the cold storage room to handle the handover with him.

Once the handover was complete and Liu Tao left, Lin Fei locked the door of the cold storage room from the inside, summoned the Space Gate, and entered Nanli City.

After using the Wish-Fulfilling Mask to alter his appearance, Lin Fei first attended to three matters.

The first matter was to rent a warehouse.

The second matter was to contact a group of porters.

The third matter was to go to the Thousand Gold Pavilion to notify Li Ruxue to receive the goods tonight.

The dead of night arrived, and the interior of the warehouse was pitch black, without a shred of light.

Outside the warehouse gathered a group of men wearing coarse cloth garments—they were precisely the porters Lin Fei had hired.

There were also a line of carriages rented from the Tongfu Restaurant.

"When on earth are we starting work?"

"In the middle of the night and pitch black like this, how are we supposed to work?"

"If this boss weren't so generous and hadn't paid one gold coin in advance, I'd rather stay home and sleep than come out to do this kind of work."

Inside the warehouse, Lin Fei opened the Space Gate. He had commissioned someone to custom-make a special cabinet.

He carefully pushed the cabinet into the Space Gate; it was neither too big nor too small, fitting the Space Gate's dimensions with absolute precision.

Opening the cabinet door on this side happened to block the white light emanating from the gap of the Space Gate.

The other end of the cabinet was also a door, and opening it likewise blocked the white light on the opposite side.

The entire cabinet thus formed a wooden passage.

If I weren't afraid of people discovering the Space Gate, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

Lin Fei had already experimented: the size of the Space Gate could not be changed, and objects exceeding its volume could not pass through.

Therefore, he could only come up with this method.

"Time's about up. It's time to start work."

Lin Fei walked out of the warehouse, looked at the porters who were already waiting impatiently, and deliberately put on a fierce expression.

"Quiet down, all of you, and listen up: this batch of goods is all for the Thousand Gold Pavilion."

"The Thousand Gold Pavilion has the Li Family behind it, as many of you probably know. When you're moving the goods in a moment, handle everything with care and make no noise."

"Whoever dares to hide goods for themselves or damage the goods had better watch their damn lives!"

The Li Family's status in Nanli City was like that of an earthly emperor to these ordinary commoners.

Lin Fei alone could not keep so many porters in line, so he could only invoke the Li Family to intimidate them.

"Alright, line up in a single file and go inside to move the goods!"

Lin Fei acted as the taskmaster, watching as these workers went inside to move the goods.

Upon entering the cold storage room, the workers all shivered. It was the first time they had ever seen such an icy place.

Some people could not help but start chatting, and Lin Fei immediately took out the loudspeaker he had prepared beforehand and shouted a stern reprimand.

"Whoever dares speak again will have their tongue cut out!"

"This ice cellar was created by a Cultivator using array formations. If anyone dares to blindly touch or take things, bear the consequences!"

Upon hearing the word "Cultivator," the porters instantly became well-behaved.

They could not afford to provoke the Li Family, let alone a Cultivator.

In their eyes, the loudspeaker in Lin Fei's hand now seemed like some kind of special magical treasure.

As for the lights inside the cold storage room, those only made them feel even more that it was the work of a Cultivator.

Crates of goods were hauled onto the carriages. Once all the goods were loaded, Lin Fei put away the Space Gate and personally escorted the carriages to the Thousand Gold Pavilion.

Li Ruxue came to the Thousand Gold Pavilion in person, but she would not personally supervise minor tasks like moving cargo; she had her servants handle such matters.

"Miss Ruxue, these goods should be enough for the Thousand Gold Pavilion's needs for a whole year."

"After a year, if you still need them, our boss will prepare another shipment to be delivered."

Lin Fei looked at Li Ruxue with a smile, already feeling somewhat unable to contain his excitement inside.

Once this transaction was done, he could return to Earth and become a billionaire.

Li Ruxue did not pay immediately, instead saying flatly, "The boss behind you is truly extraordinary to be able to prepare such a massive quantity of goods in such a short time."

"I'm actually a bit curious about what kind of person he is. I'd love to meet him!"

Lin Fei grew secretly vigilant, thinking to himself that this woman wouldn't try to renege on the deal, would she?

"Our boss is elusive and mysterious, and even I have never laid eyes on his true face. I merely await my boss's instructions to act each time, and sometimes the boss arranges for capable subordinates to see me."

"Oh, right, our boss also specially prepared a small gift as a token for Miss Ruxue. The gift is just outside the door, and I ask that you please have someone carry it in."

Xunmei, the little maid, opened the door and had two servants carry the gift inside.

"What is this thing?"

The gift was wrapped in red cloth, and Li Ruxue waited with keen interest for it to be unveiled.

"I ask that Miss Ruxue please step forward!"

Lin Fei pulled away the red cloth, instantly revealing a huge mirror with a bright surface as tall as a person.

At that moment, standing right inside the mirror was a graceful beauty dressed in white.

"This..."

Li Ruxue could not help crying out in surprise. It was her first time seeing her own appearance with such startling clarity.

Although there were bronze mirrors in Nanli City that were smooth and bright enough to reflect a person, compared to the mirrors on Earth, the reflection effect fell far short.

A bronze mirror was like a button phone with terrible pixel resolution, whereas the mirror from Earth was like a high-definition smartphone.

To a woman, appearance was forever paramount.

Xunmei, the little maid, stood to one side, looking at herself in the mirror with a face full of disbelief.

"My lady, I've never seen such a clear mirror. It's simply as if moonlight has condensed into it."

Taking the opportunity, Lin Fei said, "This mirror was crafted by my boss. Are you pleased, Miss Ruxue?"

Li Ruxue took a light step forward, looking at her own alluring figure reflected in the mirror, and was somewhat transfixed.

"Pleased. Your boss is truly thoughtful."

Sending the mirror to Li Ruxue could also be considered returning the favor for the Wish-Fulfilling Mask she had given him.

"Oh, right, Miss Ruxue, do you happen to have any more of those Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pills you gave me last time?"
