He opened his territory information and was surprised to find that another of his territories had received a score of zero.
This wasn't the main point; the main point was that he could fill in any score for this territory, as long as the highest score did not exceed 2022 points.
"I can actually fill in the scores."
He hadn't expected this possibility, so he checked the scores of the top one thousand participants in the [Shenlong Kingdom] Newcomer Trial.
He wanted to enter the Four Great Lord Academies of Shenlong Kingdom, so his score couldn't be too low, but also definitely not too high.
Each year, the Four Great Lord Academies of Shenlong Kingdom would recruit three hundred students per academy. As long as their scores were within the top twelve hundred nationwide, they could be admitted.
However, many would still be eliminated from ranks one thousand and one to twelve hundred.
A score within the top one thousand was a safe threshold.
Of course, if one's territory was particularly special, they could be specially recruited.
He changed the score for his [Diao Chan] territory to 650 points, ranking him around nine hundredth nationwide. Moreover, there were quite a few people with this score, as many as several dozen, making him less likely to be noticed.
After he finished modifying it, his [Diao Chan] territory indeed ranked 900th.
Some people might wonder why a 900th-place score suddenly appeared, but with so many people at this score and many hiding their information, not many would pay too much attention.
They would only focus on those ranked at the very top; people further down the list wouldn't be given much thought.
Even if those ranked lower noticed their positions change, it wouldn't matter much.
This was because rank fluctuations were common. He had observed the newcomer trial rankings for many years, and the positions often shifted.
This was because if someone ranked highly encountered an accident on the Canglan Continent, such as a car crash.
Their score would disappear, leading to a shift in the entire newcomer trial ranking.
There were also some individuals whose territories were special and could even hide their scores, which had happened before in the history of the Canglan Continent.
Therefore, he wasn't worried at all about being discovered.
Through group messages, most classmates would be returning to school tomorrow.
The teachers had also asked everyone to return for unified arrangements tomorrow.
Many matters could only be handled after returning to school.
The most important was to obtain the Lord Qualification Certificate issued by the school, which was equivalent to a graduation certificate.
Only after obtaining this certificate would his identity officially be changed to Lord.
Only by becoming a Lord could one enter the [Lord's Exchange] and trade various items.
He tidied up his living space. Although he now had over a billion yuan, he had grown fond of this house after living in it for so long and didn't want to move.
After tidying up, Zhou Yan left home.
On the way, he encountered many familiar faces. Because Zhou Yan had been sensible from a young age, the neighbors had a very good impression of him.
Furthermore, after his parents died on the Lord Continent, the neighbors often took care of him, inviting him home for meals.
Although Zhou Yan didn't need care, he had very good relationships with the surrounding neighbors.
Everyone who saw him would greet him, and he would politely respond.
He took a taxi to a wholesaler and found a boss. "Boss, I need to buy a batch of goods."
The boss saw that Zhou Yan was young and wouldn't buy much, replying casually, "Everything is here, take a look at what you need."
With more people in his territory, a lot of things were needed, from pots and pans to cooking oil and spices. He planned to buy a large quantity at once, so he wouldn't need to resupply for a long time.
The territory's [Warehouse] had a preservation effect; anything stored inside wouldn't spoil.
He selected dozens of items and brought them to the boss. Before he could speak, the boss picked them up and started calculating. "That will be five hundred and twenty-five yuan."
After that, he busied himself with other matters.
Zhou Yan was speechless. He had only selected the items and wasn't given a chance to speak further.
Never mind, after swiping his Feixin, he put the goods into his territory and prepared to leave.
"Zhou Yan."
He looked up and saw Yang Kai, his former junior high school classmate.
"Hello," Zhou Yan replied.
"Buying things? Buy whatever you need. This place is owned by my family, I can give you a discount," Yang Kai said.
"What are you standing around for? That person has already bought his things. Hurry up and help! Can't you see I'm swamped?"
Yang Kai's father said from not far away.
"Alright, alright," Yang Kai said with a helpless smile and ran over to help.
Zhou Yan went to a wholesaler opposite and found that this one had a wide variety of goods.
"We supply directly to supermarkets. Feel free to buy whatever you need. My sister will give you a discount," a young woman in her twenties told Zhou Yan.
Nodding, he selected a large pile of items, buying one pack of each, and even several different brands of the same item, then placed them on the counter.
"Young man, you're buying so much, will your family be able to use it all?" The young woman clearly thought Zhou Yan was buying for household use.
"No, I want one truckload of each of these," Zhou Yan said.
The young woman: "(°ヘ°)???"
"What?"
"A truckload!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding," Zhou Yan replied seriously, then added, "I'm a Lord. Buying a truckload of supplies is normal, isn't it?"
The young woman: "What! (ｷ｀ﾟДﾟ´)!!"
Then, the young woman looked at him in surprise and said, "You're a Lord! Why are you buying alone? And even if you're a Lord, you don't need to buy this much."
The other party was indeed surprised. One truckload of each item? My heavens! To what scale had the territory developed?
If he were a great Lord, wouldn't he cooperate directly with large corporations?
Why would he come to a wholesaler to buy so many supplies?
Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem like someone from a large territory.
People from large territories would generally entrust the procurement of such large quantities of supplies to professional logistics staff.
Newly developed Lords wouldn't need so many supplies.
The other party had no idea that although Zhou Yan's territory was new, its development speed was equivalent to that of a seasoned Lord.
"Don't you have it? If not, I'll go to another place."
He wouldn't explain too much. What business was it of a seller to know so much?
"Of course we have it, but could you pay a deposit first? Your quantity is indeed quite large. We just received a shipment today. As soon as the deposit is paid, I'll immediately call them to deliver the goods to your designated location." The young woman quickly replied.
"I don't think that's necessary," Zhou Yan said.
"Then not..."
"I'll pay in full," Zhou Yan replied.
The young woman: "(||ﾟДﾟ)"
She was about to refuse but swallowed her words when she heard Zhou Yan's subsequent statement.
"Calculate how much it will cost." Zhou Yan took out his phone to transfer the money.
"Yes, yes, please wait, I will definitely give you the most favorable price."
The young woman was surprised to encounter such a great Lord who hadn't cooperated with any corporation. Regardless of how large her territory was, it had nothing to do with her; she was just a wholesaler doing business.
She was curious about the world of Lords, but it had nothing to do with them.
Because there were many items, she asked Zhou Yan for the specific quantities and took a long time to calculate the total price, even offering a very favorable price.
After Zhou Yan straightforwardly transferred the money, supplies worth tens of millions were completed.
The young woman quickly called for delivery and asked, "Where should the goods be delivered?"
"Just here, I'll take them myself," Zhou Yan replied.
Although the young woman was surprised, she knew that these Lords possessed powerful abilities, although she didn't know the specifics and wouldn't pry.
However, she absolutely wanted to retain such a valuable customer, so she exchanged phone numbers with him and even offered to handle all his required supplies.
He did indeed need to purchase a lot of things, and since the other party was willing to take on the responsibility, it saved him the trouble of running around.
So, he listed many items he needed, various seeds, clothes, bedding, shoes... and so on, with very large quantities.
The young woman was overjoyed and said she would arrange everything and deliver it to his doorstep.
As trucks one after another drove into the area, many people were surprised to see so many vehicles arriving at once.
Then they saw Zhou Yan walk behind the trucks and collect all the goods from them. They realized that a high-level Lord had come to purchase supplies, but the quantity was simply too great.
Generally, such high-level Lords would contact suppliers directly for procurement; it was rare for large Lords to come to wholesalers for purchases.
"Dad, you just said my classmate finished buying his things. Look, what is he doing?"
When Yang Kai saw that the person making the purchase was Zhou Yan, he was completely dumbfounded.
Is this what his dad meant by finishing buying things?
When Yang Kai's father saw that the person procuring such a large quantity of supplies was the young man he had dismissed earlier, his heart suddenly ached.
He clutched his chest, filled with regret, and felt utterly dejected.
He regretted it so much.
"Son, hurry up and tell your classmate that we also have a lot of supplies."
Yang Kai: "(￣ー￣)(￣ー￣)"
"You drove him away yourself. What does it have to do with me?"
Yang Kai didn't go to curry favor with Zhou Yan. Since his father had driven him away earlier, what was the point of going now?
Besides, he had already finished buying his things, so there was no need to be redundant.
"Son, hurry and call 120, your dad is feeling a bit dizzy."
"I'm dizzy too."
"Your dad might not be able to sleep tonight."
"It's okay, just drink more hot water."
"I..."
