Chapter 379: Chapter 377 Shopping

"Master Wali, I haven’t finished yet," Ji Sisi made a pleading gesture.

"Master Wali, Mr. Nian wants to see me for something, shouldn’t we listen to her?"

"She is the boss after all, we need to listen to the boss."

Wali turned his head, looked at Ms. Nian Shutong, and said affirmatively, "You’re right, we should take good care of Ms. Nian Shutong’s mood."

The reason Wali said this was because Ms. Nian Shutong had given him another sum of money, totaling ten billion.

When Wali asked why it was so much, Ms. Nian Shutong replied, "I’m in a good mood."

From then on, keeping Ms. Nian Shutong in a good mood became one of Wali’s tasks.

Hearing Wali’s words, Ji Sisi’s pitiful expression immediately disappeared, and she looked longingly at Ms. Nian Shutong.

Ms. Nian Shutong had no choice but to tell her, "I need you to be a guide."

"Willing to live and die for Mr. Nian..."

"Cough cough, that’s not the right phrase."

Elder Hua, who was quietly eating, couldn’t stand it when people misused idioms.

Ji Sisi didn’t talk nonsense anymore and finally asked, "Mr. Nian, what are we going to do?"

"Go shopping."

As soon as the words ’go shopping’ were uttered, everyone eating stopped their motions, wanting to look at Ms. Nian Shutong but not daring to.

"What? Am I not allowed to go shopping?"

Ms. Nian Shutong asked lightly, but ironically everyone felt a "deadly threat."

"No, I was wondering if you have enough money."

Fu Yunhe was the first to speak, accompanied by a transfer on the Light Computer; after the transfer, he added thoughtfully, "Have fun shopping."

Ms. Nian Shutong glanced at Fu Yunhe and said to everyone sitting, "Let’s eat."

Everyone resumed their eating.

After breakfast, Ji Sisi didn’t leave with Wali for the first time; instead, she followed Ms. Nian Shutong.

She didn’t speak, just silently followed, ready to go shopping at any time.

Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t have much to pack, but still found Fu Yunhe to ask him something first.

"Xiao He, can I still protect the address even if I don’t use a ’paper person’ avatar while shopping?"

"Sure."

Fu Yunhe’s gaze quickly flickered over Ms. Nian Shutong, pretending to ask casually, "Why aren’t you using the paper person?"

"I want to buy some clothes, it’s easier to match them with my own appearance."

If she wanted to change, she might as well do it completely.

Ms. Nian Shutong wasn’t really fond of shopping, it was just a plain spree of buying clothes.

"That’s true, have fun."

Fu Yunhe left first, but his gaze lingered on his own clothes, wondering if he should also change his style.

Right now, he was wearing clothes left by the original owner, which were rather mismatched with his face and even a bit worn and tattered.

Having made up his mind, Fu Yunhe went back to prepare.

Meanwhile, Ms. Nian Shutong ran into Lin Mu, who was about to start working, and casually called out.

"Lin Mu!"

Lin Mu, with a hoe on his shoulder, stood firmly, turned around, and waited for Ms. Nian Shutong to speak.

Ms. Nian Shutong walked over and told her, "You don’t need to work."

"I like it."

Lin Mu really did enjoy working; eating a piece of candy, performing simple repetitive motions that didn’t strain the mind, helped her to endure the pain in her meridians.

"Are you using work to suppress it?"

"Not exactly suppressing, just having something to do is better than nothing."

Ms. Nian Shutong understood; if one just idled, all the focus would be on the pain, making it more unbearable.

"Alright then, just be mindful."

"Here, this is for you."

Ms. Nian Shutong handed over a small box, all custom made from the sugar factory specifically for Lin Mu.

She had promised, so she wanted to fulfill it.

Lin Mu took the candy, a full box of it—his last batch wasn’t even finished yet.

A small smile appeared on Lin Mu’s face as he thanked Nian Shutong.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome. I promised to supply you with candy for a lifetime. Just remember to brush your teeth, or I’m afraid you’ll lose them all."

Lin Mu’s smile widened a bit as he nodded and said, "I’ll keep that in mind."

Nian Shutong waved at him, and Lin Mu, carrying a hoe, headed off to the newly cultivated fields.

The fields were mostly being tilled by robots and machinery, Lin Mu stood out as unique, though his speed wasn’t slow.

After watching for a while, Nian Shutong turned to the ever-waiting Ji Sisi and said, "Let’s go, shopping."

"Sure!"

Ji Sisi’s voice carried a tinge of excitement, barely restrained; she was thrilled beyond measure.

That was Mr. Nian, after all!

Master Wali’s boss, Dou Dou’s aunt.

Both had preserved their original appearances on the Star Network.

When the two appeared on the Star Network, Nian Shutong asked, "Where can we buy clothes?"

"This way."

Ji Sisi seemed quite familiar with the layout of the Star Network. The two even took a car ride to a commercial street.

"Mr. Nian, all along this street, left and right, are clothing stores."

"What kind do you like?"

What kind?

Nian Shutong pondered seriously.

"Something convenient for fighting."

Ji Sisi nodded earnestly beside her, analyzing seriously,

"That means it should be made of stretchy material, comfortable to wear, and still look good."

Nian Shutong was somewhat surprised, looking at Ji Sisi. She was quick to respond and clear in thought. Not bad.

Ji Sisi pointed in a direction and said, "Mr. Nian, let’s go there. There are a lot of suit and casual sport style shops over there."

"Alright."

Nian Shutong followed Ji Sisi, casually asking, "You’re quite familiar with this place?"

"Yeah, when I’m free, I just wander around the Star Network."

"Do you ever run into people you know?"

"Not at all! I used to change my appearance before coming here, and even now, my look is adjusted. It’s just similar."

Nian Shutong didn’t ask why. The two had arrived in that area and began their shopping.

"Let’s take a look in this store."

"Okay."

Ji Sisi walked ahead and entered first, waiting at the door for Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong, hands behind her back, gracefully stepped up and entered the store.

"Welcome!"

"Welcome!"

The store attendants were very warm, not showing any disdain despite the duo’s ragged clothes.

These days, you simply couldn’t judge who might buy clothes.

Based on their experience, the more dazzling the outfit, the less they bought.

Rather, those dressed unimpressively, yet carrying an air of calm as if they owned the place, tended to be big spenders.

There were three staff members in the store, two clothing guides, who all came up and attended to them separately.

Ji Sisi pointed towards Nian Shutong and told the guide, "My boss is looking to buy clothes!"

The tone made it feel like they had just come down from the mountains.

However, the guide appreciated this straightforward mountain-fresh demeanor, absolutely generous.

"Feel free to browse, everything can be tried on. All are styles and sizes available in reality."

"If you find something you like, just place the order and it will be delivered today."
