53: Chapter 53 Old Mo Wants a Wife, But Not...

After a conversation, Mo Yufei and Wang Chen got up and walked out of the cafeteria.

The streets outside were clean and spacious, with hover-car lanes crisscrossing above, filled with the atmosphere of a future metropolis.

Just as the two reached the roadside, their bracelets gave a slight alert; the pre-booked hover car had arrived on time and was hovering quietly at the designated stop.

The hover car had a sleek, streamlined design and was silver-white all over, with a faint energy shimmer surrounding its body. There was no engine roar; it was quiet and high-end.

The car doors sensed their approach and slid open to both sides without a sound.

Mo Yufei and Wang Chen bent down and sat inside one after the other. The seats were soft and comfortable, and the interior space was spacious and airy.

Once they were seated, the doors closed automatically, isolating the noise from the outside world.

The hover car levitated slightly, smoothly entered the high-altitude lane, and moved forward at a constant speed along the preset route.

Along the way, it sped past towering skyscrapers and passing aircraft, heading towards the most prosperous core shopping center in Tieyuan City.

The hover car slowly descended and came to a stop. The doors opened automatically, and the two stepped out.

Looking up, a magnificent giant building stood right before their eyes, with the grand design of a three-masted sailing ship.

Three giant masts, towering into the clouds, stood straight, supporting layers of arc-shaped crystal glass sails, with smooth lines and a strong sense of future technology.

The main body of the ship was constructed from matte alloy and light-transmitting energy curtain walls, immense in volume, occupying the core area of Tieyuan City.

Sunlight spilled onto the curtain walls, shimmering with a rippling luster, like an interstellar giant ship that had sailed from ancient times and was docked in the center of the city.

People flowed continuously around, with floating walkways circling the area, and various small hover aircraft shuttled in an orderly manner around the building, making this three-masted shopping center look unparalleled in grandeur, stunning anyone who saw it.

Mo Yufei and Wang Chen walked side by side into the gate of the three-masted shopping center, instantly stepping into an extremely high-end, quiet luxury environment. Everything in sight was full of stylish private shops and exquisite exhibition areas.

Each shop formed an independent high-end space, with high-definition holographic images floating above the door lintels, dynamically displaying the rare goods inside.

High-grade energy crystal mine, ancient immortal cultivation artifacts, rare space consumables, top-tier spiritual plant bonsai—the image quality was delicate and realistic, and the flow of light and shadow revealed luxury.

Small holographic navigation screens floated scattered in the air, silently broadcasting information on various categories. People coming and going were all dressed elegantly with calm gaits. There was no noisy hawking, only low-voiced conversations and the soft sound of energy operation.

The three-masted sail-shaped holographic canopy on the dome flowed slowly, with starlight-like light bands spread across it, making the entire Mall look full of technological sense.

Three-dimensional holographic images floated at the entrances of the shops, cyclically displaying the styles and craftsmanship of the clothing inside, as well as various rare special materials.

The Mall was filled with a dazzling array of clothing, accessories, cultivation consumables, and technological equipment.

But Mo Yufei's gaze swept over the circle, and his heart was calm. He had already browsed most of these goods on the online shopping platform that came with his bracelet. He had already seen the styles, materials, and grades, so there was no sense of novelty at all.

He had no intention of wandering around to watch the fun; the purpose of this trip was very clear.

So he and Wang Chen looked at each other, tacitly understanding, and no longer stayed at the shops along the way. They bypassed the exquisite storefronts and welcoming staff on both sides, walking calmly toward the food synthesizer specialty area deep in the Mall.

The two intended to head straight to their goal, focusing on selecting private-model food synthesizers and intelligent creation machines.

They walked forward and passed by a high-end clothing store.

Inside the store stood rows of exquisite human mannequins, dressed in various trendy and gorgeous clothes—cyber-tech style, ancient style, two-dimensional style.

Every outfit was exquisite and eye-catching, combining good looks and temperament, especially pleasing to the eye.

Mo Yufei subconsciously slowed down, his gaze involuntarily lingering on the mannequins for two extra glances, his expression carrying a bit of appreciation.

Mo Yufei paused slightly, his eyes falling on the slender and realistic mannequins in the store, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Chen beside him, asking curiously: "Are all the models in your clothing stores here played by real people?"

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then he reacted. Mo Yufei came from the ancient Fragment World and didn't understand these novel things in the Main World at all.

A bit of mischief suddenly arose in his heart. He deliberately lowered his voice, leaned close to Mo Yufei, pretending to be mysterious, and a bad smile hooked the corner of his mouth: "You guessed right. These aren't ordinary models... they are all for sale by the store."

Mo Yufei's face froze on the spot, and he subconsciously let out a low cry: "Holy shit?"

He looked at the clothing store with disbelief, and then turned to look at Wang Chen, his tone full of shock: "In your era, this kind of business can actually be opened so openly in a high-end shopping Mall in the city center? Just openly displayed in front of people to sell?"

Mo Yufei widened his eyes, his face full of shock, his tone even carrying a bit of disbelief, and he blurted out: "Is there no law? Is there no justice?"

Wang Chen looked at Mo Yufei's shocked, world-view-collapsing appearance and couldn't hold back his laughter anymore. He quickly waved his hands, laughing and crying as he explained: "Hey, hey, hey, don't let your imagination run wild, you completely misunderstood! This is not the kind of gray area you think it is."

He endured his laughter, pointed at the graceful mannequins in the store, and began to explain seriously: "These are humanoid android, high-end intelligent android dolls specifically sold by the Mall stores."

"They are used for brand clothing displays, home companionship, and daily care. They are not the kind of business you are thinking of at all."

"Do you want a wife? If you do, go in and take a look!"

Just as Wang Chen finished explaining, the androids in the store accurately captured the movement outside the door. Their originally frozen postures instantly became agile, and they walked over in unison with light steps.

These robots all had celebrity-level graceful figures, slender waists, and well-proportioned curves, dressed in exquisitely tailored high-end clothing. Every step they took was elegant and proper, and their looks were impeccable.

Before the two could get away, they were affectionately surrounded on both sides, and they began to promote themselves in soft, sweet voices. The tones were diverse, and they could be chosen at will.

A soft, sweet loli voice came over first, a small hand gently tugging at Mo Yufei's sleeve, her voice coquettish: "Little brother~ Take me home, I will warm the bed obediently, and I can also help you organize your clothes and tidy up the room~"

A cold and charming mature woman's voice stepped forward slowly, her figure tall and alluring, her tone carrying a bit of lazy seduction: "Sir, choose me. I am steady and sensible. I can handle daily routines, and I can also help you look after your cultivation supplies. I am a hundred times more thoughtful than others."

A sweet and lively young girl's voice chattered as she surrounded them, her eyebrows curved and full of vitality: "Brother, brother, my personality is the liveliest, and my tone can be changed at will. I can do laundry and cooking, taking me home is definitely not a loss~"

They all spoke in soft and sweet tones, with sugary sales pitches, surrounding the two and constantly showing off their advantages, making Mo Yufei, who had just come to his senses from the misunderstanding, turn bright red and feel at a loss, while Wang Chen on the side was holding back his laughter until his shoulders shook.
