Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2653  Shopping Like A Prodigal Son

The servants watched the sheer number of Immortal Stones with throbbing hearts.

"Looks like our bonus this time is going to be massive." The same could be said for the servants, many of whom had tears in their eyes.

With that done, Lin Mu took the Spatial Storage Pouch and quickly left the shop without missing a beat.

The entire process had taken less than ten minutes, and he had spent more than what an entire clan might use in a year on their expenses.

"What a domineering way of spending! He's truly a prodigal noble!" The shopkeeper's heart had already been stolen by Lin Mu.

The man, however, had different things on his mind and immediately entered the shop right next to it.

A similar scene occurred there as well, as Lin Mu bought out all the techniques and skills he didn't yet possess.

He repeated the same for three more shops, all of which specialized in techniques and skills, before arriving at a shop that sold a wider variety of materials. It was also larger than all the previous shops Lin Mu had visited.

'Gui An's Emporium,' read the name board.

However, what stood out was the symbol of Ten Petals engraved on its side.

"Oh, this should be one of the affiliated businesses of the Ten Petal Company," Lin Mu mused as he checked his VIP card and confirmed it.

The Emporium was ten floors tall, with different items available on each floor.

The first floor was merely a lobby and had nothing for sale. Instead, it was furnished with numerous chairs and a waiting area for patrons to lounge in while their servants did their shopping.

The second, third, and fourth floors sold refinement materials for Formation Arrays, while the fifth and sixth floors specialized in alchemical refinement materials.

The seventh floor housed minerals, metals, and various ores for weapon and tool refinement, while the last three floors contained cultivation techniques and skills.

Lin Mu approached the front desk and spoke to the woman standing there.

She was dressed in a uniform consisting of two-layered robes embroidered with the symbol of the Ten Petal Company.

She was just about to greet Lin Mu when he took out the VIP card. Having learned from his previous experiences, he knew that showing it once would be enough to bypass many formalities.

"VIP!" The woman's voice became high-pitched as she nearly let out a cry. "Please, come with me to the VIP room. We will take the utmost care of you," she said quickly, summoning a group of elegant attendants to serve Lin Mu.

"Alright," Lin Mu responded as he was escorted to a luxuriously decorated room at the back.

The sofa was soft and springy, making one want to take a nap, while the table in front of it was swiftly adorned with exquisite refreshments and snacks.

"I am Madam Wong, the manager of this establishment. I will personally assist you as our esteemed guest," the woman introduced herself. "What do you wish to purchase today?" she asked, extending a rectangular mirror towards Lin Mu.

On it, he could see a detailed catalog of all the items available at the emporium. The inventory was neatly categorized by floors and could also be sorted based on specific types of materials.

'This is convenient,' Lin Mu thought as he retrieved a jade slip.

Tapping the jade slip, he copied over the materials list he had prepared earlier. He then excluded all the materials he had already used, as well as those that no longer held any benefit for him.

This process filtered out nearly ninety percent of the materials, leaving only those he had yet to acquire.

Madam Wong was taken aback by his efficiency.

'It seems he came prepared,' she thought.

"I want all of these," Lin Mu stated.

Though his list had been shortened significantly, it still contained more items than what he had purchased from the previous shops. The total value reached an astronomical level, amounting to at least six to seven thousand High-Grade Immortal Stones' worth of items.

And yet, despite that, the manager remained unfazed. She maintained a composed and courteous smile as she retrieved the mirror.

"We will have everything brought to you shortly. Please enjoy the refreshments in the meantime," Madam Wong said. "Our attendants will ensure you are well taken care of," she added before swiftly departing.

Once outside, however, her composed demeanor broke, and a gleeful look of excitement appeared on her face.

"Surely, a high-profile VIP. This must be the one the Ten Flower Beauties were speaking of," Madam Wong speculated.

She had been envious when she heard that the Four Flower Restaurant had completed such a massive transaction with a mysterious VIP. News about prestigious customers traveled fast among the affiliate businesses, and they had already been informed of Lin Mu's potential visit.

As such, they had eagerly awaited his arrival.

Now that he had finally appeared, they had to provide the best possible service.

With her extensive experience, Madam Wong quickly calculated the total sales and realized just how immense the transaction was going to be.

"This is three times as much as what the Four Fruits Restaurant earned. Their manager is definitely going to be jealous," she muttered, a wide smile on her face.

She proceeded to handle everything while Lin Mu remained in the VIP room, being pampered by the attendants.

The serving girls attempted to act seductive, but their charms seemed utterly ineffective on Lin Mu. They tried to inch closer, but whenever they did, an overwhelming sense of danger washed over them, causing them to instinctively back away.

Unfortunately for them, their usual tactics were not going to work. Before they could attempt a different approach, Madam Wong had already returned.

She carried a tray draped in velvet, upon which rested five shimmering Spatial Storage Rings.

"Here are your items, sir," Madam Wong announced in a flirtatious tone.

"You may take your time inspecting them and, of course, enjoy the company of our lovely attendants while you do so," she suggested, flashing him an inviting smile. "Feel free to stay as long as you wish."
