Despite his surprise, Zhang Zhiyin still held on to the thought of finding out what exactly was this icon – familiar goods shelves, all kinds of different items, and a list of special offers for the current update.

It was exactly like what he played in <Tomorrow>.

The Item Store was divided into two parts, the “Hypermarket” and the “Trading House”. The Hypermarket was a page for selling Cash Items to the players. The Trading House was a page for players to exchange precious items with each other in yuan. Players could offer the precious items they did not need in the game and sell them directly in yuan.

Zhang Zhiyin first looked at the Trading House. The latest items update was on 13:24 on April 1, XX. It was the day he got hit by a car. He remembered that he seemed to have been hit at about 12:30 at noon.

Zhang Zhiyin touched his chin and fell into deep thought. A moment later, he tapped on the “I want to trade” button and aimed the “Steam Bun” he just acquired at the pop-up trading item box. There was no other problem except that the “Steam Bun” was too big and the item box was too small.

The store system actually recognized it, and it also popped up a dialog box — “An item bound by the system, it could not be traded.”

Zhang Zhiyin squinted and pulled out the Level 1 nucleus which he’d just dug out after killing the zombies. Most of the Level 0 zombies hadn’t yet developed any nucleus, only a few of them had the Level 1 nucleus in their bodies. On the way, Zhang Zhiyin only got this one. When he was digging, Grandma Xu had even advised him not to dig all these unclean and unknown stuff.

This time it was a success. However, no one would buy the lowest level crystal nucleus on the Hypermarket. But Zhang Zhiyin’s intention was not to make money. He thought for a while before setting the price at ten yuan – this was the minimum price set by the Trade House and the price would increase by five percent after the transaction was successful.

Refreshing the page, the latest item had become the crystal nucleus of Zhang Zhiyin, available for sale at 13:28 on April 1, XX year.

To further ascertain the connection with the real world, he would need to have something really valuable to sell. Zhang Zhiyin decided to put this matter aside for the time being and turn to the study of “Hypermarket”.

As long as the Qinglang Company’s pit of wanting money remained unchanged, no matter was it fantasy or reality, the Hypermarket would always be that Hypermarket. Seeing it, Zhang Zhiyin was somewhat moved to see his old acquaintance.

He tapped the “ability” tab shelf he had been longing for in his mind. The most popular items in front of him were ice power and thunder power. The red HOT hung in the upper right corner and the price of 300.00 yuan was listed below.

Zhang Zhiyin pressed purchase.

The dialog box popped up — “Sorry, your balance is insufficient, will you recharge it immediately?”

Zhang Zhiyin looked to the upper right corner of the mall. [User: 130****** 1472 Balance: 19.87 yuan].

That’s right, there was his user information. At the later stage of the game, Zhang Zhiyin mainly went to visit the BOSS. He didn’t care much about equipment, ability level, pets, home, and so on. Naturally, he didn’t need to recharge much money. Most of the remaining 200 yuan were spent on items which were purchased by other players to brush affection, such as “Love Chocolate” and “Crystal Flower Language”. The difference was that he bought them as a gift for the BOSS Lord — which was putting them on the ground in front of the BOSS and wait for the system to recycle them.
