"Are you having a convulsion? Isn't this just a damaged seed? It looks like a bean to me and it's even crumpled." Lan Ke said, then put the seed into the inventory space.

The system exclaimed excitedly: "What damaged seed? Do you know how much that seed is worth? If you sell it to the shopping center, you will become a nouveau riche right away!"

"Aren't you just exaggerating?" Lan Ke suddenly felt uneasy. If it was really just a damaged seed, she would take it and she could also give a gift in return, but if it's something precious, then she couldn't accept this gift so casually.

The system directly threw out its identification:

The seed of heaven devouring vine: it is a seed from a mature body of heaven devouring vine. It can germinate after a drop of blood to recognize its master. It is ferocious and bloodthirsty in nature and its mature body can swallow heaven and earth. The purchase price of the shopping center is 100,000 trading points/piece.

Lan Ke was instantly dumbstruck: "100,000 trading points? Are you kidding me?" That first in line customer gave her a gift worth 100,000 trading points. She really doesn't understand the world of the rich!

The system urged: "Hurry up and sell it. What if he repents and comes looking for you?"

Lan Ke ignored it and went on doing business. This gift is really too expensive, so she would really love the man to come back and ask her for it!

This time, Lan Ke still didn't prepare too much. There were more grilled Naohua in 60 servings in total and less soft bean curd, with only 40 servings and one serving was sold for 5 trading points. The overall was 100 servings.

Not sure if it was stimulated by Ruthless Swordsman, that the people in the queue not only bought grilled Naohua, but also a lot of soft bean curd. In about half an hour, the two items were sold out.

Because someone in the front bought several portions, those in the back were unlucky and didn't manage to buy anything.

"Why is it gone? I've been lining up for so long!"

"Boss, you didn't prepare enough?"

"Why don't you go get some more, it's too few!"

Lan Ke's expression remained unchanged even if she was surrounded. Instead, she said, “Forgive me, my friends. It’s really troublesome to prepare the secret recipe. Moreover, I’ve been very busy lately and I really can’t spare much time, sorry. If you like it, come back at 12 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow and I will definitely prepare more."

With that, Lan Ke left in a very chic and carefree manner, leaving only a few depressed universe merchants who were attracted by the fragrance, but had nowhere to solve the problem.

After exiting the system, Lan Ke immediately asked the system: "System, I have already enough accumulation points, right? Can I upgrade now?"

As she spoke, she opened the system's panel and sure enough, she saw that her identity above had changed from [apprentice universe merchant] to [junior universe merchant].

In addition, there's an extra gift package in the inventory space, which should be the upgrade reward mentioned by the system.

Lan Ke couldn't wait to open the gift package and saw the rewards as follows: inventory space x10, warehouse x1, lottery card x1.

In this way, Lan Ke now has 20 inventory space, one warehouse, one lottery card, one heaven devouring vine seed, 20 white cloud mushrooms, plus the 960 trading points and the 120 accumulation points.

Lan Ke's going to return that heaven devouring vine seed to Ruthless Swordsman. After all, it was too expensive that it felt hot to hold, so she won't include it for the time being.

What Lan Ke cares about was the warehouse and the lottery card. The warehouse can store 999 items and there are no restrictions on the types of items! The specific situation has yet to be determined, but the lottery card is very interesting.

According to the system, universe merchants are divided into four types: apprentice universe merchant, junior universe merchant, intermediate universe merchant, and senior universe merchant. Among them, the apprentice has the lowest threshold when the system is bound, upgrading would be more difficult. Upgrading to junior universe merchant only needed 100 accumulation points, but the intermediate universe merchant requires 100,000 accumulation points and senior universe merchant is even more worse, which requires 100 million accumulation points!

However, after each upgrade, one will receive a gift package. The rewards are inventory space, warehouses and lottery cards.

The lottery cards could be used to draw prizes, which includes trading points, private shops, inventory space, warehouses, houses, land, ponds, spiritual springs and ranches. The number of trading points ranges from 10,000 to 100,000. Private shops, inventory space, warehouses, houses, land, ponds, spiritual springs and ranches are divided into several levels, and what you can get depends on luck.

Lan Ke curiously picked up the lottery card to scrutinize it. The whole card was gold in color with a pattern of tangled branches hollowed out onto it, which looks very exquisite.

She didn't know if she had the luck, but when she thought of the prizes that made her heart beating, she felt that the card in her hand was heavy.

Needless to say, private shops, inventory space, warehouses, houses, land, ponds, spiritual springs and ranches may seem ordinary at first glance, but in fact these are all good things!

At present, she can only let her consciousness enter the system, but it's different if she has a house because she can enter her whole person! Think about it, when there's nowhere to escape in the face of danger, she could hide directly inside the house!

This is tantamount to a more life-saving means!

Let’s talk about the land, ponds and ranches. These three things are not simple. Just their function of time acceleration could make people go crazy!

Ponds and ranches don't accelerate much. A day on the outside world is equivalent to a month inside, which applies for all grades and the higher the grade of the pond is, the more variety of species it will have.

The time acceleration in land is frightening, one year rivals to tens of thousands of years! Even if only one plant could be planted in each plot, the profit from it is enough to make people startle.

Lastly, the spiritual spring, which was easy to comprehend. Its water is good for drinking and bathing.

These good things are sold in the system shopping center as well, but the price is also horrifyingly high. Lan Ke only took a glance and didn't bother to read it again.

But now, she has a lottery card. If she's lucky, she might be able to draw something good!

The system was more nervous than Lan Ke: "Host, when do you plan to draw the lottery?"

"Now!" Lan Ke immediately used the lottery card to avoid thinking about it all the time.

Once the lottery card is used, it will disappear and become a gift package. As long as the gift package was opened, the prize will be revealed.

Lan Ke looked at the golden gift package in front of her and was about to open it, but her mobile phone rang abruptly at this time. The ringtone that should've been pleasant to ears sounded inexplicably harsh in this quiet room.

Lan Ke instantly lost the mood to unpack the gift package. She picked up the phone in annoyance and looked at the caller's name popping on the screen. Lan Ke was immediately happy. The scumbag Tang Jing Tian usually doesn't show concern to her, but today he even called her on his own accord. Did the sun come out from the west?

Lan Ke answered the phone and turned on the speaker directly, she answered with a lazy tone: "Something?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tang Jing Tian's tone isn't just irritable, "Where on earth did you learn that bad habit of yours to even beat up a female classmate in school and missed your exams! Is that what you learn in school? Do you really want to infuriate me to death?"

"Did Feng Jun tell you that? Or was it Chu Jia?" Lan Ke didn't have to guess to know who was behind it.

"You take the exam for me right now and apologize to that female classmate while you're at it! Otherwise..."

"Go to hell!" Without waiting for him to finish, Lan Ke hung up the phone and blacklisted Tang Jing Tian. She then opened the address book, found a number and dialed it: "Uncle Zhou, I agree with what you said last time."
