222: Customers who dress up

He Ming took Shui Meng and turned to arrive at the other end of the mall, in front of the Tianhuo Technology store.

In the Fanda Galaxy System, and even the entire Eastern Universe, the Spatial Artifacts produced by Tianhuo Technology were definitely at the ceiling level.

He Ming's red and blue bracelet, with an internal storage space of 1.5 million cubic meters, was made by Tianhuo Technology.

The store area was very large, a full three times larger than Huitong Technology.

Two recruitment advertisements stood outside the door.

The number of employees was even ten times more.

The foot traffic was dense, making them almost too busy to cope.

Nothing else, Tianhuo Technology's reputation was just too solid.

In the high-end industrial field of Spatial Artifacts, it was an absolute leading giant enterprise.

Xinghai's scale was completely not worth mentioning in front of Tianhuo Technology, just like a giant whale compared to a small shrimp.

He Ming took Shui Meng to a display stand.

A 3D virtual projection rotated slowly, displaying exquisite Spatial Artifacts.

"One hundred thousand cubic meters, bracelet-shaped, twenty thousand tons of star marrow crystals, this is the one."

Not far away, a novice shopping guide who had just joined not long ago saw He Ming and Shui Meng, trotted forward, and began to introduce with a smile.

The shopping guide was named Jinx; she had only been on the job for a month, and she managed to get hired entirely based on her good figure and looks.

But because of her introverted nature and inability to let loose, she hadn't made a single sale in a month.

Two colleagues she had a good relationship with had also shared some sales experience, but she could never get past that mental hurdle.

He Ming interrupted her.

"I want to order a thousand."

Hmm?

Jinx thought she had misheard and hurriedly asked again, "How many?"

He Ming turned around and looked at the bewildered Jinx.

"A thousand. Is there a discount?"

Jinx nodded hurriedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes. If it's more than ten units, you can get a 5% discount at most."

"Sir, are you sure you want to order a thousand?"

He Ming nodded.

"I'm sure."

"Okay, okay. I'll go find our manager right away; perhaps I can get you a higher discount!"

Nearby, a shopping guide who was explaining to a customer heard their conversation, curled her lip in disdain, shook her head, and looked at Jinx's retreating figure with a hint of sympathy.

Ordering a thousand Spatial Artifacts at once—this was clearly playing a prank... She could already imagine the scene of Jinx being scolded when she went to find the manager.

Before long, a middle-aged man who looked clearly a bit impatient followed Jinx to the front desk.

"Manager Tan, it's him."

Manager Tan looked toward He Ming in the direction Jinx was pointing.

His figure was tall and straight, wearing a set of casual clothes that concealed the mysterious black battle armor underneath.

A girl followed beside him, her hair tied in two ponytails.

"I'll go take a look."

Hmm?

Manager Tan felt something was wrong. He clearly wanted to dismiss Jinx, but what came out of his mouth was 'I'll go take a look'... But since the words were already spoken, he could only go and see.

Although in his heart he had already reached a conclusion about He Ming—that he was here to cause trouble.

In the past, there had been similar customers putting on airs of wealth who deceived the inexperienced shopping guides in the store.

But it was his first time hearing such an absurd opening line—ordering a thousand 100,000-cubic-meter Spatial Artifacts at once.

If any shopping guide were to fall for this, there must be something wrong with their head.

He glanced sideways at Jinx—cute appearance, clear eyes.

It really was possible... "Jinx, things like pies falling from the sky don't happen often. This kind of customer is clearly targeting you."

Jinx understood the manager's meaning, but she really wanted to make a sale.

Her family had gone deep into debt to support her education.

Her younger brother had found a partner and was about to get married, so he urgently needed money.

Back then, her family intended to let her brother attend school, but he refused and gave the opportunity to Jinx. Only after graduating could she find a decent job that ordinary people would envy.

Although appearance is the main factor in the shopping guide industry, without a top-tier degree, one couldn't even cross the threshold of Tianhuo Technology.

"Manager, thank you for the reminder. I'll be careful."

Manager Tan nodded and walked toward He Ming.

"Sir, I am the manager and store director of this shop. If you need anything, you can tell me."

He Ming pointed at the spatial bracelet in front of him and said, "I want to order a thousand. What's the maximum discount you can give?"

Manager Tan's smile remained unchanged as he replied softly, "It's like this: if the consumption amount reaches ten million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals, you can obtain Supreme VIP status from our Tianhuo Technology. At any of Tianhuo Technology's offline or online stores, you can enjoy the highest level of 30% discount."

He Ming calculated silently in his heart.

30% off twenty million is fourteen million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals.

"Are there any other bonus gifts?"

Manager Tan explained patiently, "With such a large amount of consumption, there are definitely bonus gifts. If you can order a thousand 100,000-cubic-meter spatial bracelets at once, we will include a voucher point card worth one thousand tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals."

He Ming nodded slightly and pulled out the Black Gold UnionPay card from Huitong Technology from his pocket.

"Full payment."

Manager Tan was stunned, his eyes widening instantly.

The laughter of several nearby shopping guides who were originally waiting to see a joke stopped abruptly.

Jinx's heart pounded violently, almost leaping out of her throat.

Was she finally going to make a sale today?

He's really buying it!

This was the truest thought in the hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene.

Huitong Technology's Supreme VIP UnionPay card has the exact same standards as Tianhuo Technology's; consumption needs to reach the level of ten million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals.

A large-scale transaction of this magnitude is beyond the reach of even a Star Lord Level who controls an entire galaxy; only a Realm Lord Level tycoon can afford it.

This young man before them, who looked like he had no special features other than being slightly handsome—is he a Realm Lord Level tycoon?

Manager Tan immediately dismissed the thought.

Realm Lord Levels have their own consumption channels; it's absolutely impossible for them to visit a small store like theirs.

So that's how it is!

Manager Tan had already labeled He Ming in his mind.

The confidant or purchasing agent of a Realm Lord Level tycoon.

Plus He Ming's seemingly casual question.

He's planning to take a kickback.

The reason he chose to come here must be that he wasn't satisfied with the price offered by Huitong Technology and wanted to test the waters at Tianhuo Technology!

Manager Tan quickly calculated in his head; if he could close this deal, even if he gave up a portion of the profit, it would still be a massive gain.

No, I have to stabilize him first!

Manager Tan smilingly welcomed He Ming and Shui Meng into the No. 1 Supreme VIP Reception Room.

"Sir, what is your surname?"

"Shui."

"Mr. Shui, how about this: if we can close this deal, I will personally give you another million tons of seven-colored star marrow crystals."

He Ming's brows furrowed slightly, not quite understanding the meaning of those words.

Seeing He Ming's expression, Manager Tan hurriedly changed his tune, "Two million tons!"

With a thought, He Ming communicated with the omniscient notebook.

When he learned the truth, he almost burst out laughing.

He was actually being treated as someone looking for a kickback.
