Chapter 16

"Sir, hello. I am Sun Sheng, the manager here. If you have any needs, we will do our best to serve you." Soon, even the manager of the 4S store hurried over.

But something was off. When did the service attitude in China become so attentive?

Wasn't it usually the case that salespeople would look down on you first, then your former colleagues and friends would come to mock you, and finally, you would turn the tables and show off?

"Is there something I don't know about?" Zhou Yang looked puzzled.

If Zhou Yang had checked his phone at that moment, he would have understood.

"A tycoon appears in Huai'an, spending 780 million to buy an entire high-end residential area."

This news topped the Baidu search list. Although the article didn't include Zhou Yang's photo, it did describe his appearance, emphasizing that he was dressed simply but had a strong presence.

What is most important in business? Customer information.

A tycoon who could spend nearly 1 billion RMB to buy a high-end residential area immediately caught the attention of high-end consumer industry merchants in Huai'an.

For a while, guests who were dressed simply but had a good presence were warmly welcomed, leaving many people struggling to accept it. Even a college student, when going to a high-end residential area to tutor, was enthusiastically pitched high-end villas by a group of salespeople.

If that was all, it wouldn't have been so crazy. But after that, a car salesperson sold a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a villa salesperson sold a high-end villa, both to buyers who were dressed simply. Suddenly, people who were dressed simply but had a strong presence became extremely popular.

"Let's go in and take a look at the cars," Zhou Yang said, somewhat speechless. Could his charm be so high that he was irresistible to both men and women?

"Sure, sir, this way," Manager Sun said, about to guide Zhou Yang.

"Let that girl show me around," Zhou Yang declined, pointing to a young and inexperienced girl in the crowd.

"Xiao He, take good care of this gentleman," Manager Sun instructed the girl, then left. He was just being polite; after all, it wasn't confirmed yet, so there was no need for him, the manager, to serve a customer personally.

"Do you have any BMWs?" Zhou Yang asked the young girl, who seemed shy and had probably just started working. Thinking of his own struggles when he first started working, he chose her.

"Yes! Yes!" The girl was excited, her face flushed. She felt like she was about to faint from happiness. It was her first official day at work, and she had already landed a deal, and it was for a BMW.

The cheapest BMW costs over 500,000 RMB!

Just the commission would be 10,000 RMB!

She felt like today was her lucky day!

Under the envious and jealous gazes of her colleagues, the two of them went to the car display area. The girl tirelessly introduced the cars, showing that she was very hardworking. She knew all about the performance, prices, and services of various models.

In the end...

Zhou Yang stopped in front of a powerful and rugged off-road vehicle with very beautiful and grand lines.

"How is the off-road capability of this car?" Zhou Yang asked the girl behind him. Although he was very satisfied with the car's appearance, if its off-road capability wasn't strong, he couldn't use it in ancient times and would have to give up.

The girl felt her breathing quicken. This was a Range Rover, costing over 3 million RMB, with a commission of several tens of thousands.

Then, she pointed to the off-road vehicle and gave Zhou Yang a detailed introduction, using a lot of technical terms. Zhou Yang couldn't help but interrupt, "That's enough. I'll try it out myself."

After driving for about ten minutes, he felt it was quite good and very easy to handle.

"I'll take it!"

"The Range Rover of this model costs 3.66 million RMB..."

Before she could finish, Zhou Yang handed over his bank card, "Charge it!"

Tycoon! Handsome guy!

The girl looked at Zhou Yang with shining eyes, reluctant to leave for the back office.

After more than ten minutes, all the car accessories were installed, and Zhou Yang drove back to Mingya Residential Area.

*********

Mingya Residential Area was a high-end residential area, covering over 100 acres, with each villa having nearly 1,000 square meters, already fully decorated.

Zhou Yang chose the most secluded villa and bound it to the system.

"Ding! The Multiverse Tower has been successfully bound."

Zhou Yang placed all the items in the villa, taking over half an hour to organize everything.

"Ding! The system meets the upgrade requirements. Do you want to upgrade?" The mechanical and cold voice of the system suddenly sounded.

"Yes!" Zhou Yang was pleasantly surprised. When he had emptied the Shaolin Temple's scripture hall, the system didn't upgrade. Now, after emptying the private treasury of the Han dynasty emperor, it finally upgraded. So, the system's upgrade was not only related to the value of the items but also to the variety of items.

"Upgrade begins!"

Host: Zhou Yang.

Level: Two-star Shopkeeper.

Value Points: 1554.

Martial Arts Level: Great Perfection of the Postnatal Realm.

Perhaps in an instant, perhaps after a long time, the entire room underwent a tremendous transformation.

Majestic and grand, this was Zhou Yang's first impression.

Inside the room, a two-story pavilion stood, five zhang (about 16.5 meters) high and thirty zhang (about 100 meters) long and wide. A horizontal plaque hung on the main door, inscribed with three gilded characters: "Multiverse Tower!"

In front of the pavilion, eight stone pillars, each as thick as a person's embrace, stood on either side. Each pillar was carved with phoenixes spreading their wings, dragons soaring, and blooming flowers, shimmering with a jade-like glow, resembling jade pillars or divine stones.

Zhou Yang walked up and gently patted one of the stone pillars, which produced a clear sound, like celestial music, with lingering echoes. The material of the stone pillars was very special, neither stone nor wood.

It was like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade, like wood but not wood.

Looking around, the internal space of the pavilion was vast. Inside, crystal counters, crystal clear and neatly arranged, displayed all the items Zhou Yang had collected.

The internal space of the villa had undergone a tremendous transformation, but its appearance remained the same, showing no difference.

The first floor of the pavilion was divided into different areas.

Martial Arts Area.

"Advanced Martial Arts, Iron Shirt..."

...

"Intermediate Martial Arts, Primordial Power..."

...

"Basic Martial Arts, Shaolin Long Fist..."

...

*******

Divine Weapons Area.

"Overlord Spear..."

"Red Dawn Sword..."

"Zhuque Blade..."

...

******

Spiritual Medicines Area.

"100-year-old Ginseng..."

"100-year-old Lingzhi..."

"100-year-old Huangjing..."

...

******

Miscellaneous Goods Area.

"Steel..."

"Gold..."

"Gems..."

******

After touring the first floor, Zhou Yang went up to the second floor. The items on the second floor were not divided into areas but mainly included high-value and special items, such as high-value top-tier martial arts, 1,000-year-old ginseng, and special items like ten years of life force and Saiyan bloodline.

After touring the new Multiverse Tower, Zhou Yang found a place on the first floor to sit and study the new permissions granted by the system upgrade.

Permission 1: Earn 2% of the value of sold items.

Permission 2: Earn 20% of the value of recycled items.

Permission 3: Dimensional procurement period: five days per month.

Most other permissions remained unchanged, but the most important new addition was three intern positions. From today, he finally had the appearance of a boss, with subordinates under him.

However, the system upgrade also introduced a restriction: if an item became ineffective, 10 times its value in points would be deducted.

An item becomes ineffective, for example, if Liu Bian, whom Zhou Yang was protecting, was killed. This would be considered an item becoming ineffective. If Liu Bian paid 500 value points, Zhou Yang would be directly deducted 5,000 value points.

For example, if Zhou Yang wasn't with Liu Bian and he was killed, Zhou Yang would be in big trouble.

Moreover, if Zhou Yang's value points were insufficient, he would have to use items on his person as collateral, such as the Nine Yang Manual or even his lifespan, and he would have to repay all the value points.

If a deal failed, Zhou Yang would be back to square one. Therefore, recruiting these three interns was crucial, and his idea of recruiting three beautiful women was instantly shattered.

"Is the shopkeeper here? Li Shimin requests an audience." Just as Zhou Yang was fantasizing about how to choose the interns, a loud voice came.
