Continuous recommendations on the homepage are indeed terrible. After changing the list, the number of new favorites has only increased by a little over two hundred, and the clicks have plummeted. Currently, the new book list is at ninth place, and even the recommendation votes are few, which has greatly dampened my spirits.

Level 10 unlocks the shop, but levels below 20 can only buy items on the first floor. According to this calculation, you can go to the second floor after level 20, the third floor after level 30... If you want to go to the tenth floor, you have to reach level 100. What a scam!
"Is it true that the higher the floor, the higher the level and attributes of the items?" Liu Menglong asked.
"Yes." Dragonfly nodded. This was beyond doubt; otherwise, what would be the point of setting up so many obstacles?
Liu Menglong looked blankly at the weapon shelves on the first floor. Was this trying to kill him?
Leaving the weapon shop, Liu Menglong toured the other six shops. Indeed, he could only buy items on the first floor, and there was no sign of the second floor.
Compared to the weapon shop, the other shops were slightly better. At least there were many things Liu Menglong could use. For example, in the armor shop, there was a large steel shield that increased defense by 200. It was 1.5 meters high and 1 meter wide, protecting Liu Menglong from his chest down. Even if he crouched slightly, the enemy would not harm him even with a machine gun, as the shield's durability was a terrifying 2000.
Among all the weapons Liu Menglong had, the one with the highest durability was the mountain cleaver, with a durability of 510, which was quite impressive. However, compared to the large steel shield, it was nothing. Liu Menglong wanted to buy the large steel shield, but after seeing the price tag, he immediately gave up. A shield cost 100,000 yuan, and he didn't have that much money.
In the pharmacy, Liu Menglong saw many very practical pills, such as blood replenishing pills, qi replenishing pills, energy pills, beauty pills, slimming pills, detoxifying pills, wound healing medicine, strength pills, golden gun pills, and ten-ingredient great tonics.
Each pill was a divine medicine in reality, and the prices were not high. The most expensive, the ten-ingredient great tonic, cost only 1,000 yuan and could instantly bring a person's energy and physical state to their best, with no side effects. The cheapest, the wound healing medicine, cost only 50 yuan. No matter how severe the external injury, applying the wound healing medicine would heal it ten times faster, far surpassing a certain white medicine.
The most speechless for Liu Menglong was the golden gun pill. From the name, you could guess its effect. It was labeled as a man's virility enhancer, allowing one to be invincible for ten women in a night. Most importantly, it had no side effects.
However, Liu Menglong did not buy it. Pills were only useful when needed, and he didn't need them for now.
When browsing the jewelry shop, Liu Menglong saw countless gems shimmering with light. Unfortunately, the gems on the first floor were ordinary gems that could be found on Earth. Of course, these gems were of high quality in reality, but the most expensive one, a white jade plaque, only cost 1,000 yuan. Its effect was: carrying it could replenish qi and blood and calm the mind.
Such a good thing at such a low price, Liu Menglong naturally didn't hesitate to spend the money. He bought four identical jade plaques (actually all the jade plaques were the same), planning to keep one for himself and give one each to Nalan Ruyue and the Yue sisters.
From start to finish, the NPC in the jewelry shop, a wealthy woman in her thirties, kept showing off her jewelry to him: "Look at my ring, 88 carats... Look at my bracelet, made of top-grade Hetian jade... Look at my..."
Buzzing like a fly, it was extremely annoying. Liu Menglong wished he could slap her.
Feeling a bit annoyed while checking out, Liu Menglong saw the 4,000 yuan deducted and suddenly had an idea. If everything in the shop needed money, and money could be converted from real currency, then some items here were much cheaper than in reality. For example, the white jade plaque, which cost 1,000 yuan, was like getting it for free. If he bought more and sold them in reality, he could exchange the money for system currency and have endless funds to buy equipment.
Thinking of this, Liu Menglong was excited, his blood boiling. But soon, Dragonfly poured cold water on him: "The host is not allowed to trade any items purchased here for any form of money or benefit in the outside world. Otherwise, the shop will be closed and never open to the host again."
Damn!
Liu Menglong was so angry he cursed. A great plan to get rich was ruined. The system was too smart, not leaving any room for good people. Fortunately, although trading was not allowed, giving them away was not restricted, so the jade plaques for Nalan Ruyue and the Yue sisters were safe.
Among all the shops, the one that surprised Liu Menglong the most was the prop shop. Every item in the prop shop was ordinary yet extraordinary. For example, a clown mask, which, when worn, could really turn you into a circus clown for an hour, juggling three oranges effortlessly...
Another example was a pair of gloves that, when worn, made you bulletproof, allowing you to catch bullets with your bare hands. Was this a bulletproof glove?
The most outrageous was a hairpin that could increase a woman's charm by 50%. Was this a tool for seducing men? If an ordinary woman wore it, it would be fine, but if someone like Nalan Ruyue or the Yue sisters wore it, Liu Menglong suspected it might trigger a second Trojan War or another beacon fire incident.
What a scam.
In the blueprint shop, Liu Menglong saw many intricate designs for small mechanisms and items. For example, a power propulsion system design, which, according to Liu Menglong's estimate, if made and installed in a car engine, could rival a high-speed train.
There was also a flying machine design, similar to the one MJ wore to fly around the stage at the end of a concert. It could carry objects weighing up to 500 kilograms and fly freely in the sky, with simple operation. The energy source was not gasoline, natural gas, or batteries, but any energy in nature, such as solar, wind, and thermal energy. Any energy in the universe could power the flying machine, which was quite impressive.
The only downside was that the flying machine's durability was not high. It could only fly for ten hours before being automatically reclaimed by the system. To use it again, you had to buy a new one.
Even so, this flying machine was quite powerful for Liu Menglong. It could fly continuously for ten hours with a maximum speed of 500 kilometers per hour, enough to make a round trip between Tianfu and Longcheng, and it was not expensive, costing only 20,000 yuan.
Liu Menglong thought about it but didn't buy it, mainly because he didn't have enough money. This also motivated him to earn more money. Although he didn't know business, he could reach the pinnacle of an industry by opening a life profession. In every profession, there are experts, and every expert is rich.
For example, as a builder, Liu Menglong could currently construct all buildings up to six stories. This allowed him to work as a designer, creating perfect construction plans for developers. If they were adopted, would he lack money? Moreover, there were master and perfect levels. In the end, if China wanted to build an underwater tunnel and no one else could do it, but Liu Menglong designed a feasible plan, would he lack money?
Another example was the acupressure master. A beginner acupressure master was a top massage therapist. If he opened a massage parlor, the wealthy old people in the neighborhood would be potential customers. Once they tried his skills, the money would flow in.
Thinking about this, Liu Menglong felt that making money wasn't that hard. He was currently working hard on the construction site to improve his profession level. Once he reached the perfect level as a builder, there would be many ways to make money.
With these thoughts, Liu Menglong finally entered the tailor shop. The NPC in the tailor shop was a beautiful woman around his age, with a stunning appearance and an S-shaped figure that made Liu Menglong feel a sudden urge. Fortunately, Dragonfly pulled his hair at the critical moment, or Liu Menglong would have gotten into big trouble.
Because Dragonfly said, "If the host behaves uncivilly towards an NPC, they will receive an electric shock punishment. The intensity ranges from 1 to 9. At the host's current level, a level 3 shock could be fatal. Please be respectful."
