Chapter 98: Not Even the Words Heaven-Defying Are Worthy of It

Finally, she had some free time. Qiao Mai noticed that Shopkeeper Niu’s accommodation and the storefront were getting cramped. They needed to expand their operations. So, she had the neighboring store connected and had the Broker Center handle the renovation.

The front canopy was also widened, and she hired three more assistants.

She left all these matters to Shopkeeper Niu without interfering. When business was booming, they naturally needed more staff. Two assistants had to manage sales and inventory, and it was exhausting work.

Even if she gave them a raise, prolonged work hours could lead to illness.

Due to the increased staff, she taught them skills such as making candied chestnuts, roasted peanuts, roasted melon seeds, sugar-coated haws, and juice squeezing.

Even when she wasn’t around, people could enjoy a refreshing cold drink in front of her store.

In the summer, these items sold well. Not only women and children but also men enjoyed them.

Even when the rainy season arrived, it couldn’t deter customers from coming to Qiao’s Small Eatery for cold drinks while enjoying the rain scene. Shopkeeper Niu was delighted every day, busy with his abacus, calculating profits with great enthusiasm.

Qiao Mai saw that the business was doing well and didn’t plan on further expansion. Sustaining the current situation was good enough. Having a house, land, and a shop was sufficient. As for buying spirit stones, she wanted to focus her energy on her space.

From the wheat harvest, which started in June and lasted until the fifth day of the month, she didn’t enter her space for ten days.

One evening, after putting Ling’er to sleep and entering the space, Qiao Mai was stunned.

The space felt larger. She closed her eyes and surveyed it with her mind. To her amazement, there was much more space now.

Just as she was about to inspect it, a piece of information appeared in her mind.

[Space Level 2, Spiritual Energy Density 10%, Total Area 200 acres.]

She was taken aback. Had it expanded to twice its size? Would the next level, Space Level 3, increase it to 300 acres?

Was it because she planted ginseng that this happened?

She immediately checked her ginseng field. To her surprise, the eight-acre ginseng field had produced red ginseng seeds and even seemed to have tripled in size. The other fields where she had grown watermelons, strawberries, and more also appeared to have tripled in size.

She swallowed hard, crouched down, and used her hand to dig out a ginseng root.

Unlike most crops that mature in about five days, she had planted the ginseng ten days ago. She was too busy to check on them.

The eight-acre field had become 2.4 hectares, filled with ginseng.

She couldn’t determine the ginseng’s age, so she brought it to the computer.

Logging onto the online shopping platform, Qiao Mai contacted the customer service representative she had dealt with before.

“Hello, do you remember me?” “Yes. How can I assist you?”

“Can you check the age of my ginseng?”

“Sure.”

After a quick flash of light, the customer service representative replied with two words. “Ten years!”

“Wow. I planted it ten days ago, and it’s already ten years old?”

“Your space doesn’t have time acceleration functionality, but it might be due to the soil.”

Qiao Mai raised an eyebrow. Her space had another function – soil acceleration. It seemed to have had this feature all along.

“How much is this ginseng worth?”

“A ten-year-old ginseng is worth ten taels of silver, a hundred-year-old is worth a thousand taels of silver, and a thousand-year-old is worth fifty thousand taels of silver. Of course, we convert everything to gold for you.”

“Then why bother with any other business? I can just sell ginseng. By the way, I can’t buy physical items, but can I sell them?”

“Yes. I see your space is at Level 2 now. Keep up the effort, and you’ll be able to buy physical items soon. You can sell now.”

“What level do I need to reach to buy physical items?”

“I’m not sure. You can try buying items each time you level up. I guess it might be at Level 5 or above.”

Qiao Mai swallowed. “Selling is fine for now. I don’t urgently need to buy things.” “How many of this ginseng are you selling?”

“I’ll go check.”

Qiao Mai collected all the replicated ginseng from the 2.4-hectare field. Upon inspection, there were five thousand ginseng plants.

She placed them before the computer and said, “Just these behind me.” “Fifty thousand taels of silver, converted to gold, five hundred taels. Deal?”

I-yean

With a flash of golden light, the ginseng on the ground disappeared, replaced by two hundred small golden ingots. Qiao Mai looked back and smiled. “Thank you!” “Is there anything else you want to trade?”

“No, thank you.”

“Welcome, and feel free to return anytime.”

“Wait, how can I list my items for sale here?”

“You need to apply for a store. The platform will assign you a suitable store name based on location, planet, dimension, and space. Prepare the items you want to sell, pack them in boxes or baskets, and you can set the size of the baskets in your store. Just make sure to describe your products well, and the store will automatically display your items. Remember not to list items you don’t have in stock, or the platform will fine you. For specific instructions, you can check the beginner’s guide on the shopping platform.”

Qiao Mai took a deep breath. “Alright, I’ll give it a try myself. Sorry for the trouble. ”

“Not at all!”

After closing the customer service window, Qiao Mai set up her own store.

After paying a deposit of a thousand taels of gold, her Qing Qiao Store was officially open. This shopping platform was truly lazy.

Qing Qiao? It was named after the Qingfeng Continent and her surname.

She found some wooden boxes she usually used, specified their sizes in the store’s toolbar, and packed the items she wanted to sell.

She provided descriptions for each item, and the store automatically displayed them with prices.

To test it out, she checked the prices of various goods on the platform and chose to sell at a lower price to see if it worked as the customer service representative had explained.

As soon as she listed the items, someone placed an order.

In ten seconds, all the boxes of fruit on the ground disappeared, replaced by a small bag of money containing a pile of silver coins.

Qiao Mai blinked and burst into laughter.

This was incredible! Who designed this space? It was beyond amazing. Not even the words heaven-defying are worthy of it!

With a space like this, she won’t have to worry about selling her space-produced items.

Thinking about it, her space was essentially infinite! She can keep selling without having to plant or restock continuously!

Qiao Mai was so excited that she felt she was on top of the world. This was an amazing development. When her space leveled up, she could buy whatever she wanted from other places. Just think about it!

She felt like she was standing at the pinnacle, looking down at the mountains.

Suppressing her excitement, she returned to the side of the field, scattered reishi spores across the 2.4 hectares, and sprayed them with water.

Even though reishi wasn’t as precious as ginseng, she hoped that this time, it would help her space level up again.

After planting, she sat down and planned to cultivate her internal energy. She attempted to absorb the spiritual energy of the space.

Ten percent was quite thin. After trying for a while, she gave up and decided to focus on her internal energy.

Seeing a glimmer of hope and a bright future, she gained confidence in her life.

When she became the most powerful, she could confidently walk all over the imperial palace. What did she have to fear from those petty conspirators lurking in the shadows?

In the face of overwhelming martial strength, those were just small-time crooks!

At that moment, she couldn’t calm down to cultivate. After leaving the space, she lay on her heated bed and giggled.

Fortunately, it was just her and Ling’er in the house. Otherwise, people would think she was a female ghost laughing maniacally in the middle of the night.

Now it’s great. The shops outside, the land, and the poultry she raises are all legitimate sources of income.

She doesn’t need to expand anymore, nor does she need to worry about finding new ways to make money. Her space takes care of that for her.

When she has free time, she plans to organize her space properly. No more planting little by little.

She’ll use her mental allocation, a skill she learned when she first got the space ring. Qiao Mai will plant with her thoughts and harvest with her thoughts, which will also help her train her spirit and mental strength..
