Chapter 481: Setting Foot on the Heavenly Road
After watching the commotion, Li Qianxia and I went to buy clothes, from a store named BF. It's a paradise for spicy girls, and the cashiers were handsome guys and pretty girls.
Li Qianxia picked up a cart full of clothes, trying them all on.
"You can change the style of clothes however you like. Why buy clothes? It's a waste of money." Li Changzhou wore a hat, a mask covering his face, almost hiding his eyes.
If it weren't for his good physique and dignified behavior, with Li Qianxia by his side, he might have been mistaken for a weirdo.
"So you're saying I'll never need to buy new clothes in my life?" Li Qianxia snapped selfies in front of the mirror.
"Reading about past sages from different countries, success comes from frugality, destruction from extravagance. No matter your status or wealth, money that shouldn't be spent shouldn't be spent."
Li Qianxia held her phone in her right hand, left hand on the back of her head, turned sideways to the mirror, and puckered her round buttocks, snapping away.
"How's this? Sassy?"
"...6."
"Don't '6' me, Li Ergou. Give me a real evaluation."
"The clothes are as small as baby clothes, yet you can fit into them." Li Changzhou gave a thumbs up.
Li Qianxia was immensely pleased, struck a spicy pose, and then turned around to face Li Changzhou, pulling at her waistband: "Look."
"Alright, alright, your waist is so slim that even baby clothes seem big, but let me tell you, according to our country's standards, a normal BMI range is 18.5~23.9. You're definitely underweight, an abnormal body shape."
"But I weigh over 300 million jin."
This is the Divine Body.
"Well... cough, I've noticed your bust does seem to have gotten bigger."
"Haha, scram!"
A shopping cart full of clothes—like the kind you use for grocery shopping—and she ended up buying only six items.
At the counter, Li Changzhou was supposed to pay, but he didn't have money and neither did she, so they were about to leave them behind... both feeling shy.
The store was keeping up with the times, allowing payment through game coins, but neither of them could reveal their identities.
In the end, they had to use "Teleportation" to call Yafeiluna, who hadn't used money in a long time either. She finally contacted her secretary, who then called someone to pay the 943 yuan.
"I've only seen this scenario in CEO novels—the CEO buys things for his little wife, has no money, asks the secretary behind him, the secretary also doesn't have it, and finally the CEO orders the secretary to sell his watch. Minutes later, the secretary returns with a suitcase full of cash—bro, when will you take me on a spree with a suitcase of money?"
Li Qianxia hugged Li Changzhou's arm, acting coquettishly like a little wife.
"I don't have a watch."
"But you have kidneys~"
"Can't you buy clothes within 230?"
Despite saying this, Li Changzhou still had Yafeiluna deposit some money into his account, not because he wasn't interested in money; he just wasn't interested in ordinary money before. Now, he's eyeing game coins.
He's even planning, from next year onward, to implement a consumption tax on top of the head tax.
Anyway, in terms of value, the game balance is even. If players have fewer game coins, whether weaker or stronger, it doesn't have a significant impact.
But once this money is collected, it can serve an entirely different purpose: boosting company player strength to ensure stability in the real world.
Ordinary players lacking game coins, being weaker, can similarly ensure real-world stability.
It can also slow down ordinary players reaching Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank, delaying contemplation of tribulation matters until Li Changzhou figures something out.
A policy that achieves multiple benefits, a good-hearted approach.
Before heading back to the Honey Universe, they took a tour of Heaven with Yafeiluna.
"In a week, it'll be finished; actually, many palaces are already set up and usable, but I think, after all, it's Heaven. We should wait until it's completely finished before use," Yafeiluna introduced.
This wasn't the emptiness of Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan's wedding day.
There was a vast green field, like vast waves, making it hard to imagine being in the sky.
On a steep mountain, a huge golden toad absorbed sun and moon essence, creating waterfalls out of cultivators' milk and honey—qi—pouring into the vast ocean.
Five-colored clouds dotted the sky like taxis.
Sometimes you see a river between the clouds, lush grass growing along its banks, or piles of gold and silver.
There's also a bamboo grove, with bamboo leaves shaped like jade ruyi, pearls, agate gemstones.
In the empty void, hundreds of dragon koi swim by, as if gliding through clear riverbeds.
It's like an Immortal Realm, with wonders abound.
To emphasize the vastness of Li Changzhou's dominion, Heaven also has western divine countries, the grand palace of Cangqiong Star, treasures of Four Seasons Star, exotic treasures from the magic world, the Moon..... the Moon has nothing, Mars is the same.
"Immortals and mortals should be kept separate, don't affect players above Immortal," Li Changzhou said only this.
He's no longer aloof, thinking he's extraordinary.
On the contrary, precisely because he's been poor and never felt parental love, he particularly hopes others can live at least comfortably, hopes every child has loving parents.
Similarly, he was once an Immortal, knows the power of worldly qi, and doesn't wish, for the sake of catering to more people, to have Immortals hide in corners.
"Rest assured, I'm personally overseeing the Heavenly Court project," Yafeiluna said.
Why hasn't she used money in a long time? A significant reason is worldly qi.
To completely eradicate worldly qi, one must shut off one's transcendental perception, which for an Immortal, is as uncomfortable as being blindfolded would be for ordinary people.
Being blindfolded might be bearable, but mainly, it causes a loss of security, which for players whose lives are threatened in instances, security surpasses everything.
Li Changzhou, as a 'Supreme Immortal' in Human Tribulation, has blocked many people; still able to maintain control, it's not just due to his power, but also due to forbidding all acts of violence in the real world.
