Since the area within his space expanded to include the ancient city, Lu Heng could also instantly transport himself to any location within the ancient city in his space with a mere thought.
After entering the ancient city within his space from the lounge upstairs, although he visited frequently, he had actually entered the real ancient city world not many times. It wasn't that he didn't want to explore it, but rather that the Director and the others were watching the shop, and too many unexpected things happened.
He couldn't possibly be wandering through the ancient city and suddenly disappear somewhere within it only to help resolve issues at the shop.
Therefore, he mostly just roamed around the ancient city in his space.
Fortunately, the ancient city in his space was somewhat different from the city in his space. The difference was that the outside real world did not affect the changes in objects within the city in his space, but the real ancient city could affect the changes in items within the city in his space.
Perhaps this was why the ancient city in his space had distinctions between day and night, and within the ancient city in his space, he could also feel the weather changes of the outside world.
For example, the humid air and the breeze blowing across his face that he felt as soon as he entered his space.
However, the city in his space remained unchanged for twenty-four hours a day. There was only day and no night, and the temperature was always at a comfortable level year-round.
Just then, he entered the weapon shop in the ancient city in his space, wanting to see if any changes had occurred to the weapons there today.
Because he frequented the ancient city in his space, he discovered that the goods displayed in the shops there would change. For instance, the staff he took first had only one style. But a few days later, when he came again, the staff had more styles. He actually saw three different styles, and the power of those staffs was also different. One staff, inlaid with an unknown gem, emitted lightning abilities that were even stronger than the one he had taken before.
So, did these weapons with attributes also have different levels?
Fortunately, after he took items from here, the empty spaces would automatically be replenished, and the shops in the real world were not affected in any way. The shop owners did not discover that any items were missing.
This indicated that the world within his space could not alter events in the real world, but changes in the real world could alter this world within his space.
Just as Lu Heng was carefully examining the weapons, the Director from outside called him again with a thought, "Master, Master, hurry down."
Lu Heng twitched his lips. This was the seventh time today. Almost every little while, Lu Heng would be summoned back by the Director. Lu Heng always felt that their positions had been swapped; he was the one being ordered around.
Feeling somewhat helpless, but with no other choice, Lu Heng moved his thoughts and returned to the shop on the second floor.
After going downstairs, Lu Heng glanced at the customer standing outside the counter. It was a woman of decent appearance, currently standing alone outside the counter, looking at the weapons behind it. Even as Lu Heng came downstairs, the woman did not turn her head to look at him.
Lu Heng asked the Director with his thoughts, "Are you asking me to get weapons for the customer again?"
The Director extended his right paw towards Lu Heng, showing it to him, "Yes, look at me and the Siberian tiger. Our paws can't hold things."
Lu Heng "......"
This was the unexpected consequence of having the Director and the others watch the shop, and it happened multiple times a day. It had been over a week, and the number of people coming to the shop to look had not decreased at all.
There were too many people who didn't believe the rumors and insisted on coming to experience it themselves.
"Wow, your cat is so cute. Not only can it speak human language, but it can also perform human actions." The woman, who had been carefully observing the weapons, now looked at the Director and said with surprise.
"Yes, I can do many things. Because my intelligence is higher than other animals, my master always praises me as the most capable..."
Lu Heng rolled his eyes and complained with his thoughts, "...When did I ever say that?"
The Siberian tiger also echoed in agreement with his thoughts, "You're the most useless one, aren't you? Every time we go to kill zombies, it's always us busy outside, while you and that old turtle hide in the master's arms all day..."
Director "......"
Lu Heng walked silently to the counter where the weapons were displayed and said to the woman, "Which one would you like to see?"
"Oh, you're their master, aren't you? Your name is now known to everyone in the apocalypse. Our base even has a small newspaper that reported on your deeds..." The woman finally noticed Lu Heng and said excitedly.
"Which one do you want to see?" Lu Heng was getting impatient. Should he consider letting the black bear make an appearance as well?
The black bear, eating honey in his space, hiccuped at that moment. Had it eaten too much?
The woman pointed to a dagger, "I'm a water-element ability user. Your cat said that dagger is also used by water-element ability users."
Lu Heng picked up the dagger from behind the counter and placed it in front of the woman.
The woman felt the energy emanating from the dagger, then looked at Lu Heng with excitement, "Wow, so the rumors are true. The weapons here are truly extraordinary. But is there a discount?"
Lu Heng pointed to the blackboard hanging in the center of the shop. It clearly stated, "No bargaining accepted in this shop. All sales are final and non-refundable."
The woman looked at the dagger again, caressing the carved patterns on it with reluctant affection, "These patterns are also very ancient. In modern society, there are no designers who can create this style."
Lu Heng's mouth twitched. He didn't have much time now, but he couldn't chat with these customers. "Each weapon costs three thousand Level 4 ordinary crystals."
Although she was reluctant, no one could afford this price to buy these weapons at the moment, so the woman put the dagger back on the counter.
Seeing this, Lu Heng quickly placed the dagger back in its original position and went upstairs without looking back.
Not long after going up, he came down again. Seeing Lu Heng returning, everyone in the shop looked up.
Upon seeing the black bear following Lu Heng downstairs, they all rushed out of the shop in a flurry.
However, no one went far. Although they were accustomed to the animals in Lu Heng's shop and were no longer surprised by the talking cat, the sudden appearance of another fierce beast instinctively made them want to evade.
Lu Heng looked at the people who had run outside and said, "Everyone, please rest assured. As you know, I privately keep some mutated pets. But rest assured, these little animals are very well-behaved. As long as you don't cause trouble, they will not attack you proactively."
Lu Heng took the black bear's left front paw and showed it to everyone, then said to the black bear, "Come, give everyone a greeting."
The black bear looked at Lu Heng, then stood up straight and performed an elegant half-bow towards the crowd.
"Wow!"
"Patter patter patter... patter patter..."
The people gathered outside the shop let out exclamations and warm applause.
