The next day, Du Feng arrived at the shop early with a few disciples.
"These crystals will be stored by Elder Du. Every few days, you will distribute them to the disciples selling in the shop," Lu Heng handed a bag to Du Feng.
Du Feng opened the bag and looked. There were quite a few crystals, estimated to be over a thousand. Lu Heng really trusted him, handing him so many at once.
"Here are two thousand crystals. You can count them later."
"No, no need. Brother Lu trusts me so much, how could I doubt you?" Du Feng waved his hands quickly and put the crystals into his storage ring.
"I don't necessarily have to come over to reconcile accounts every month. I might be traveling, so my schedule isn't fixed. If I'm around on any given day, I'll have a disciple from the shop notify you."
"Brother Lu can rest assured. The shop is being watched by the Danyang Sect, so there won't be any problems. Regarding the matter with King Lu last time, my master said he found someone to smooth things over. King Lu won't bother us again."
"Then I'll go to the new house to tidy up first. I'll visit you at the Danyang Sect when I have time."
Leaving Wanyuan Department Store, Lu Heng glanced at the sign outside the shop again, then walked towards the new residence without looking back. From now on, he wanted to be a hands-off owner and not be tied down by this small shop.
Many shops on the street had already opened. Lu Heng wasn't in a hurry, strolling as he went, enjoying the atmosphere that was absent in the apocalypse.
"Guest, would you like to come in and take a look? Our shop has just received a batch of armor that can defend against low-level demonic beast attacks," a shop assistant's call attracted Lu Heng.
Lu Heng nodded and followed the assistant into the shop. This place used to sell weapons, but now there was more armor on the wall behind the counter.
"This armor looks quite ordinary."
"You can't see the benefits of these things just by looking. Let me get you one, and you'll know when you hold it."
After speaking, the assistant took down a set of armor and placed it on the counter.
As soon as he held it, Lu Heng felt a special energy emanating from the armor. He felt it with some surprise but couldn't determine the attribute of the armor's energy.
Seeing Lu Heng's confusion, the assistant proactively explained, "Guest, this armor is made with magic crystals combined with special metals, so cultivators can feel the energy inside upon contact. This piece of armor is made with a Level 4 magic crystal, so with the addition of special metals, this equipment can withstand attacks from demonic beasts of Level 4 and below."
"This is good. Why didn't you sell it before? Is it a new product?"
"No, this has been around for a long time. It's just that sales in Jinyang City have never been good. Junior cultivators generally couldn't afford it. With things getting lively here recently, and with that Wanyuan Department Store selling those crystal items, more cultivators have come to Jinyang City. So, our owner quickly transferred this batch from other cities.
And it's said that the activity of demonic beasts in the nearby Misty Forest has become more frequent..." the shop assistant explained earnestly.
"How much is this set of armor?"
"Three hundred crystal stones for a set, with a top and bottom. Would you like a set?"
Three hundred crystal stones, no wonder few people bought it. Lu Heng remembered that he had a full meal at a restaurant before, and with drinks, it only cost eight crystal stones.
"I'll wait. I don't plan to go outside the city to kill demonic beasts for now, so I won't buy it. If I need it someday, I'll definitely come to buy it."
However, since there were new products in the city, his space would also increase accordingly. There was no need for him to go out of his way to buy them.
The assistant glanced at Lu Heng again. He had called him in because Lu Heng's demeanor and attire were not ordinary. He hadn't expected that this person also had no intention of buying.
"Then please look around. Come back if you need anything." The shop assistant's attitude was still decent.
After leaving the shop, Lu Heng browsed a few more stores to see if they had also added new products. However, apart from a few more styles of clothes in the clothing shops, other stores had no new products.
Returning to the newly purchased residence, Lu Heng went directly to the main courtyard at the back.
The residence had two courtyards of houses, plus a backyard garden. However, the garden had not been tended for a long time, and it was overgrown with weeds, showing no scenery.
Lu Heng chose the most spacious room in the middle row to live in. Then, he took out a set of comfortable modern furniture from his space and set up a row of solar panels in the yard. The wires from the solar panels led directly to the room next to where he was staying, where a large battery was placed.
After a series of modifications, he also installed power and lights in the room where he was staying.
He really couldn't get used to the ancient oil lamps. Even with the best oil, they would produce a burning smell. Therefore, connecting an electric light was more convenient.
Of course, he also modified the doors and windows of the room he was staying in. He installed a set of plastic steel glass doors and windows inside. Although they weren't the perfect size, he could fix them with wooden frames outside.
These were all thanks to his many years of living in the apocalypse in his previous life, so he could easily complete these modifications by himself.
Looking at the modern furniture and a few small appliances in the room, Lu Heng sat comfortably on the sofa and brewed himself a pot of tea.
After enjoying a period of peace, the next morning, Lu Heng had to disappear from the room and return to the apocalypse.
That room could serve as his paradise in the other world. When he was tired, he would come here to quietly rest.
Although no one disturbed him in the space city, the atmosphere there was still too strange. In a place so quiet that there was no sound, even knowing it was safe, Lu Heng didn't want to stay there permanently.
...
In the early morning, Lu Heng opened the door of the room where he lived in the apocalypse. Lin Yu next door should have already gotten up and gone out. He didn't sense anyone in the small building.
Walking downstairs, Lu Heng looked at the Director who was lying on the living room sofa and asked, "Director, where did Lin Yu go?"
"Master, Lin Yu went to the mission hall. He said he had to change a mission early in the morning, so he left as soon as it got light."
