In the center of the Dimensional Garden, a small shop stands.

"Damn it, when will this end, you broken system?" Bai Tianyu kicked the table beside him in a fit of rage.

"Please rest assured, host, someone will come," a voice devoid of emotion echoed in Bai Tianyu's mind.

"It's been three damn days, and not a single person has shown up. Not even a ghost!" Bai Tianyu said with a look of helplessness.

Now, let's introduce the protagonist, Bai Tianyu (hereafter referred to as Tianyu). He's a bit of a loser, a technical school graduate who hasn't done well in his job for over a year.

He quit and was preparing to look for a new job when this damn system dragged him to this godforsaken place, a dilapidated house with only a sign that reads "Wish Fulfillment." The Multiverse Mall System sounds grand, but unfortunately, it's not for the protagonist; it's for the customers. The host can only buy items from the mall using points earned from transactions. But in this desolate place, who would come? Tianyu shouted at the door.

"Can this place fulfill my dreams?" A young man's voice came from outside the door.

"Someone actually came!!!" Tianyu said in surprise.

"I told you, the right person will come to the shop," the system replied.

"I thought you were lying to me," Tianyu retorted. "Host, hurry up, the first customer, your newbie reward is here."

Bai Tianyu walked to the shop door and saw a young man in his twenties standing there. "Hello, welcome to..." What's the name of this damn shop! Tianyu shouted in his mind. "Uh... whatever you like," the system pondered silently, not knowing what to call it.

"Is this guy a fool?" Lin Pingzhi thought.

"Please come in, customer," Tianyu said, noticing that Lin Pingzhi was still quietly looking at him.

"Our shop has everything, customer, what is your surname? What are your wishes?" Tianyu asked Lin Pingzhi.

"Hello, shopkeeper, I am Lin Pingzhi. I want to take revenge on the Qingcheng Sect and Yu Canghai," Lin Pingzhi said with a look of hatred.

Lin Pingzhi, such a familiar face. "Oh!!! Lin Pingzhi from 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' the eunuch Lin Pingzhi," Tianyu thought to himself.

"System, do you have what he wants?" Tianyu communicated with the system.

"Give him the menu. The menu can read the customer's world and needs, automatically matching the most powerful items and techniques within the limits of his world," the system explained.

"Here is our menu, you can take a look and let me know what you choose," Tianyu said, handing the menu to Lin Pingzhi.

"Menu??? Uh, this is the吸功大法 of the Moon Sect's Ren Woxing, the Sunflower Manual, this is my family's inherited sword technique, the Exorcist Sword Technique, and the Purple Mist Technique and the Mixed Yuan Technique of the Huashan Sect, as well as the Washing Marrow Sutra and the Muscle Changing Sutra and the 72 Special Techniques of Shaolin Temple..."

Lin Pingzhi's eyes were wide with amazement, exclaiming nonstop.

"Uninformed, bumpkin," Tianyu muttered on the side. PS: The first time you saw it, you weren't much better.

"Lin Pingzhi, have you made your choice?" Tianyu eagerly leaned in.

For some reason, Lin Pingzhi seemed to have chosen something very powerful.

"I choose the Sunflower Manual and the Exorcist Sword Technique. I want to carry on the Exorcist Sword Technique and rise from where I fell," Lin Pingzhi said with a crazy enthusiasm.

"Uh, if you like it, that's fine," Tianyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Since you have made your choice, please pay," Tianyu said with a greedy look.

"How much?" Lin Pingzhi took out some silver.

"We don't accept silver, only rare treasures and techniques," Tianyu ignored the silver.

"But I have nothing," Lin Pingzhi said helplessly.

What to do? Calling the system, calling the system, Tianyu had no choice but to seek help.

"Uh, here is a contract. Have him sign it, give him the items, and he must return to his original world to collect rare treasures to pay off the debt. Otherwise, he will lose fifty years of his life. These two items are worth 7,000 exchange points, and items of equal value must be exchanged." The system was doing its best for the first customer.

"Can I have credit? Can I get credit?" Tianyu tried to find a loophole.

"No," the system mercilessly cut off Tianyu's fantasy. "Tsk."

"Sir, Lin Pingzhi, sign this contract, and you can leave. But think carefully before you sign," Tianyu handed the contract to Lin Pingzhi.

"This, I'll sign. I have nothing to lose anyway," Lin Pingzhi signed without hesitation.

Lin Pingzhi signed his name and left without looking back.

"Congratulations, host, you have completed your first transaction and received a newbie reward. Please check your backpack space."

"Congratulations, host, you have completed a transaction and earned 700 exchange points (not yet credited)," the system said.

"Damn, I only get 700 out of 7,000," Tianyu said in frustration.

"Your host level is too low. After completing ten transactions, you will be upgraded to a two-star shopkeeper, and your share will increase to 20%. There are also some privileges that you will understand when you reach two-star status," the system explained.

"Whatever, open the backpack," Tianyu just wanted to see the newbie reward and didn't care about the details.
