"So many!"
She almost doubted her own eyes, wondering if she’d seen it wrong.
"That’s right, it’s that many. Let’s go shopping together, it’s been a while since we’ve done that."
Su Mo invited in high spirits.
"Sure."
Qian Chengxue replied without any hesitation.
So Su Mo and Qian Chengxue headed towards the exit, only to run into Sun Duoxiang.
"Boss, where are you going?"
Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.
"Going shopping."
Su Mo said simply, not planning to hide it from Sun Duoxiang.
"What a coincidence, I want to go shopping too, take with you."
Sun Duoxiang clung on like a sticky plaster.
"Have you finished your tasks? Is everything arranged?"
Su Mo’s brow twitched slightly, thinking this guy was just looking for trouble. Was he planning to be a third wheel? Could he not take a hint?
"Boss, don’t worry, everything’s taken care of. Even the bonuses for the brothers below are all sorted. Except for those on duty, everyone else is happily on holiday."
Sun Duoxiang replied with a grin. Of course, he could see Su Mo didn’t want to take him along, but if the boss is going shopping, he will certainly buy things, and tagging along cos with benefits.
"Why don’t you go shopping by yourself then?"
Su Mo blinked, signaling Sun Duoxiang to be sensible.
Unfortunately, Sun Duoxiang had a face as thick as a brick. He turned to Qian Chengxue and said, "Sister Xue, let co with you guys; I can carry the bags."
"Sure."
Qian Chengxue agreed with a smile.
"Fine, co along then."
Su Mo rubbed his forehead, really wanting to smack him. But since Qian Chengxue had already spoken up, he couldn’t say much more.
...
After a long while, Su Mo and the other two appeared on the Third Ring Comrcial Street in Star Ring City.
This comrcial street was exceptionally lively and bustling, more vibrant than usual.
The street was filled with stalls selling various goods.
"Co and look, newly produced weapons, highly cost-effective, not 1000 Star Coins, just 99 Star Coins!"
"Top-grade materials, produced on Ceres, large quantities at favorable prices."
...
Qian Chengxue showed great interest, stopping briefly at each stall.
Su Mo asked with a smile, "See anything you like?"
"No, I’m just looking."
"Don’t save money for , I’m pretty loaded now, pick anything you like."
Su Mo said confidently.
However, at that mont, the deep voice of the Fake Owner, the Swallower, resounded in Su Mo’s mind.
"Aren’t you afraid of getting tongue-tied? If you’re so rich, just fill up my energy first."
"Forget I said anything, stop putting down, can’t you see I’m busy here?"
Su Mo admitted defeat decisively.
"Hmph!"
The Fake Owner, the Swallower, complained and then went back to silence.
Qian Chengxue shook her head and said to Su Mo, "There’s nothing I want."
Just then, Su Mo and his companions passed by a shop entrance, where a big promotional sign stood.
It was clearly written on it.
"Genetic Potion Package Promotion, Buy One Get One Free!"
Seeing this, Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he imdiately pulled Qian Chengxue inside.
"Let’s go in."
As they entered the shop, they were greeted by a wretched-looking little old man with a full smile.
"Ah~ esteed guests! Here to buy sothing?"
"I saw the genetic potion promotion sign at your entrance? How is it sold?"
Su Mo asked straightforwardly.
"Such sharp eyes, esteed guest, we’re having a promotion. Buy a set of I to V type Genetic Potions and get a set for free!"
"What type of Genetic Potion is it?"
Su Mo imdiately asked.
"All-Purpose Perfect CRES Gene Injection,"
the old man said with a smile.
"How much is it?"
"Not expensive, 2 billion Star Coins!"
The old man replied to Su Mo with a smile.
"Heck, isn’t that price just hiked up? Cheap my butt! Do you believe I’ll beat you up?"
Sun Duoxiang exclaid after hearing this, directly swearing.
"Ahem, Sun Duoxiang, don’t act rashly, there really is a discount."
Su Mo calculated after listening, it seed pretty worthwhile. He then asked, "The quality is okay, right?"
"Rest assured, nobody dares to sell fake goods in Star Ring City, false one, pay ten."
The old man assured with a smile.
"Alright, I’ll take one."
Su Mo said.
"Great, I’ll get it for you right away."
The old man replied smilingly.
Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and said, "I rember you haven’t injected yet, take one back and inject it, the process might be a bit painful."
"Alright, I’ll be careful."
Qian Chengxue replied warmly, appreciating how considerate Su Mo was about everything for her.
At this mont, Sun Duoxiang couldn’t contain his excitent and leaned over, "Boss, there’s also a complintary one. I haven’t injected yet either, is that one for ?"
"Can’t you buy one yourself? It’s not like you’re strapped for cash."
Su Mo said with a twitching mouth corner.
"Please, Boss, just give it to ."
Sun Duoxiang begged shalessly, thinking it would be a waste not to take advantage of it.
He had money on hand, but getting it for free was more fun.
Qian Chengxue laughed and said to Su Mo, "Give it to him."
"Fine, fine, it’s yours!"
Su Mo felt like kicking Sun Duoxiang.
"Thank you, Boss!"
Sun Duoxiang responded with great joy, feeling quite fortunate.
Qian Chengxue smiled and walked towards a nearby display case, curiously eyeing the items, honestly, it had been a long ti since she last shopped in stores in Star Ring City.
It’s not that she didn’t have ti, but she couldn’t afford them.
Su Mo then leaned in to whisper to Sun Duoxiang, "Take this genetic potion back, don’t inject it, and send it to Lin Zinuo. Later, you can buy one for yourself at the chanical Pillar."
Sun Duoxiang was initially taken aback but quickly nodded.
"No problem, Boss, but um..."
"I’ll reimburse you."
Su Mo glared at Sun Duoxiang.
"No problem, I’ll handle it proper and square."
Sun Duoxiang quickly agreed.
...
It wasn’t long before that wretched old man ca back with two boxes of genetic potions, and he handed them to Su Mo with a smile.
"Keep them well, co often when you have ti!"
"Alright."
Su Mo replied as he accepted the two boxes of genetic potions.
Afterward, Su Mo and his company left the shop, and once outside, Su Mo gave one genetic potion to Qian Chengxue and one to Sun Duoxiang.
"Boss, I’ll go inject this. The sooner the injection, the better the effect!"
Sun Duoxiang found an excuse to slip away.
"Alright, go on."
Su Mo nodded.
Qian Chengxue also spoke up, "Su Mo, I have nothing left to shop for, so I’ll head back to inject as well."
"Okay, you both go ahead; I’ll continue shopping for a bit."
Su Mo replied with a thick skin and then cast a glance at Sun Duoxiang to avoid blowing cover.
"Okay, then Sun Duoxiang and I will head off first."
Qian Chengxue nodded in response.
"Mhm, I’ll head back as soon as I’m done here."
Su Mo waved to Qian Chengxue.
Thus Qian Chengxue and Sun Duoxiang left together.
At this juncture, the deep voice of the Fake Owner, the Swallower, arose: "What are you planning to do?"
Su Mo replied to the Fake Owner, the Swallower, "I want to go to a general store to buy sothing."
"What do you want to buy?"
inquired the Fake Owner, the Swallower, in a deep voice.
"Heh heh, you’ll find out in a bit."
Su Mo said excitedly as he headed towards the general store.
After a short while, Su Mo appeared at the entrance of the unassuming general store.
The shop’s door was still wide open, and inside, it looked just as unremarkable as before.
"Hey~ esteed shopkeeper! I’m here to buy sothing!"
