Something Kang Jin-Ho hadn't mentioned to anyone was that... well, he didn't dislike going on shopping trips.

Every modern human possessed the primal nature of feeling this satisfaction when purchasing a product they found appealing. The only difference separating people was as simple as the degree of satisfaction. That was all.

It was the same story back in Zhongyuan, as well. Martial artists might seem like the type to not care about things unrelated to the pursuit of cultivation, but even they rigorously stuck to the chosen hues of their martial uniforms. If there were a top-tier treasure or weapon to be had, they would stop at nothing to obtain it. Some of them did that quite literally, too.

People's obsession over shinier items in the modern era was a lot more... 'physical' back then, in other words.

As for Kang Jin-Ho, he couldn't deny that he also had such a streak. As proof, just how gratified did he feel when he first got his hand on the Azuremourne? He was so indescribably chuffed back then. So much so that he could still vividly recall the sensation of gripping the sword's hilt for the first time.

Besides, considering he was having fun to some degree while choosing his next car, Kang Jin-Ho definitely did not dislike the concept of shopping itself. Even so, he still felt like going through hell while shopping with his mother and sister. That was because that shopping trip was like... The best description he could think of would be a constant slog through an illogical time-wasting activity.

Debating...
