"Please use the system function keys at your convenience, host!"
Hearing the system's voice, Shang Yunyun immediately accessed the system function keys and entered his wish into the wish pool. After clicking on the "wish" button, the surroundings suddenly brightened, and he was forcibly exited from the system's wish control panel. This indicated that his wish had succeeded!
At that moment, his phone vibrated with incoming calls, but Shang Yunyun paid no attention. After all, it was just a tool given to him by the system, not something he earned himself. He managed to keep his emotions in check and instead started exploring the universal space!
The universal space looked just like before, but it was now much larger. Shang Yunyun felt like he was in a whole new environment, full of wonder. The Celestial Crown Tree had grown over ten meters high, thriving under the nurturing of the universal space. Shang Yunyun was pleased, but he couldn't understand why other creatures and items, like money or even gold, thrived so quickly in this space while he himself showed no changes each time he entered!
Seeing Shang Yunyun lost in thought, the system asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm just pondering some things. System, why do other beings or items grow rapidly or multiply here, while I see no change when I come in?"
"Because you are the host! The universal space belongs to you; you do not belong to the universal space. Other things either sprang forth from the universal space itself or you brought them from this planet. Once they enter the system's universal space, they become part of it! Do you understand now?"
"Yeah! I kind of get it. I still don't know much about the universal space! I didn't even know these insects could grow this big! System, is this place like a primitive world? That strange black insect is over a meter long! If it got out, wouldn't it destroy the world?!" If Shang Yunyun couldn't control the universal space and sense the intentions of all the creatures within, he would have already been scared to death!
"There are many secrets in the universal space, and you will understand them in the future!"
Shang Yunyun had anticipated the system's response, so he didn't say much more. He turned around to see that he had accumulated a decent amount of gold. He had long thought of opening a gold shop, but it had never progressed. Now that he had sufficient capital, doing business would be a breeze!
"Alright, I'm off now. I have things to do!"
As he exited the system space, he noticed four or five missed calls on his phone. Most were from Shenhua Bank, and two were from Liu Tianyi, the bank's president. When Shang Yunyun first used the lottery feature, he won a huge gift package that included a check for a billion, issued by this very bank. Now that he had deposited a trillion, Liu Tianyi must be going crazy trying to contact him!
Shang Yunyun ignored the calls. He already had his investment company. He had no interest in supporting them in buying any ridiculous futures that would lose value!
Friday soon arrived. Shang Yunyun donned a simple yet extremely expensive suit, accompanied by two secretaries, Shang Wantong and Shang Jiancheng!
He had long figured out the purpose behind Ai Hongcheng's auction under the name of the Northern Chamber of Commerce!
The six major families in the capital had previously exerted significant influence and maintained harmonious relationships. This made the officials of the Northern Chamber of Commerce uncomfortable. If the six families were to compete, it would be fine, but if one family suddenly exploded in wealth, and they collaborated, it would pose a threat to the Northern Chamber!
Thus, Ai Hongcheng found an opportunity to eliminate the Jiang family, causing the other five families to suffer heavy losses while shrinking in value. The Northern Chamber had been playing this game for over a century!
The indoor plaza of the Tiancheng Trading Center was the venue for this auction. Outside the center, police tape blocked the entrance; without an entry ticket or invitation, no one could get in!
Old Zheng drove Shang Yunyun's custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom, waiting in line for a few minutes. Once the guards saw the license plate, they let him in without even asking for the invitation!
After driving for another ten seconds, they reached the entrance of the Tiancheng Trading Center, where numerous reporters were conducting interviews!
Behind Shang Yunyun were two Porsches driven by Shang Wantong and Shang Jiancheng, each accompanied by their own drivers. Such a scene needed to showcase their family's young master!
Both secretaries were also dressed to the nines. They stepped out and walked to the door of Shang Yunyun's Rolls-Royce Phantom. Several reporters had already noticed the commotion, drawn in by the Phantom's renowned status and price!
