Looking at the bathtub filled with fragrant, bubbling water, Mu Xiaoxiao realized that this was her first time taking such a bath.
“Sister Yu, you should go wash up too. I’ll head to bed once I’m done here.”
“Alright. Just leave any clothes that need washing outside the door. When I see them, I’ll put them in the washing machine,” Meng Yu reminded her.
Mu Xiaoxiao had originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, she decided against it.
“Alright.”
After Meng Yu left, Mu Xiaoxiao took out her pajamas, undressed, and slipped into the bathtub.
“Ah, this feels so good.”
She had never expected soaking in a bath to feel this comfortable. It was spring now, so the weather was neither too hot nor too cold, making it perfect for a bath. Once the weather became hotter, it would no longer be suitable. If her space leveled up enough and the conditions allowed, she wanted to soak in a bath often.
After finishing her bath while wearing a face mask, Mu Xiaoxiao sat on the bed, picked up her phone, and opened Taobao to start shopping.
She first bought various medicines, including cold and fever medicine, disinfectants, and other medical supplies. She also ordered toilet paper, sanitary pads, rice, cooking oil, flour, seasonings, instant noodles, self heating meals, bread, milk, sausages, and all kinds of other convenient foods.
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was already ten at night.
Mu Xiaoxiao checked the map on her phone to see which wholesale markets were nearby and planned her route for the next day. As for clothes, quilts, and similar items, she planned to order them through 1688 since it was cheap and convenient.
Mu Xiaoxiao yawned. It seemed that the coffee had done nothing for her after all.
She put down her phone and prepared to sleep. Tomorrow, she was going to get a lot done.
During the night, she got up to use the bathroom. While she was awake, she harvested the mature vegetables, sold them, and planted new ones. Her farm leveled up once, but she decided to study the new features in the morning before returning to bed and going back to sleep.
The next day, Mu Xiaoxiao was awakened by Meng Yu.
Still half asleep, she got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast.
“Xiaoxiao, come eat.”
Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the milk and sandwiches on the table, then glanced at the time. It was seven thirty in the morning.
“I didn’t expect you to come downstairs and eat with me today.” In the past, Meng Yu had always brought her meals to her room. Seeing that Xiaoxiao was getting better and better made her very happy.
Although Mu Xiaoxiao had transmigrated into the body of the original owner, she was not used to the original owner’s habits. It was better to come downstairs and eat.
After breakfast, Meng Yu cleaned up and left for work.
Mu Xiaoxiao returned to her bedroom and entered her space. Another batch of crops was ready for harvest, and after collecting them, the space leveled up again.
Leveling up was easy at the beginning, but it would become more difficult later.
Looking at the storage inside the control panel, she saw Chinese cabbage, carrots, white radishes, and pasture grass. Other than the pasture grass, she sold everything else.
Her farm was now Level 2. Including the gold coins from yesterday, she had 800 coins. Wheat and rice had also been unlocked, and an additional mu of farmland had been added.
She planted half of the new plot with wheat and the other half with rice, while the remaining plot was used to grow the same crops as before.
After finishing, Mu Xiaoxiao went to the thatched cottage. The storage room inside had expanded to fifteen by fifteen square meters.
Looking at the increased space, she happily left her space.
She took out her phone, searched for the nearest wholesale market, and drove there.
There was no need to buy too many vegetables or too much meat since her space could produce plenty in the future. What she mainly needed were generators, solar panels, coal briquettes, portable gas stoves, alcohol stoves, solid alcohol fuel, sleeping bags, tents, and all kinds of camping supplies.
Summer was approaching, and she happened to see down jackets, military style overcoats, thick quilts, scarves, and snow boots on sale, so she bought a large amount of them as well.
She did not care about brands. As long as they were warm, that was enough.
Shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, toothpaste, toothbrushes, lighters, hot water bottles, and thermos flasks were all purchased by the box.
She also bought insecticides, floral water, bottled water, and other supplies.
However, she did not dare buy too much from any single place. Her goal was to visit all the wholesale markets in D City. Anything her car could hold was loaded into the car and then transferred into her space. For anything that could not fit, she asked the shop owners to deliver it to the warehouse she had rented.
After shopping for the entire morning, she had only spent one hundred thousand yuan.
She found a place to eat lunch and, while she was there, contacted factory sellers through the 1688 wholesale platform. She ordered clothes, bedding sets, bowls, chopsticks, pots, daily necessities, household supplies, cat litter, and pee pads.
She needed to stock up on those as well. Once the apocalypse arrived, power and water outages would make things very inconvenient.
In the afternoon, she continued to the next wholesale market.
As she shopped, she came across a store that specialized in home renovations.
Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought about the villa. It really needed to be reinforced. When the apocalypse came, she and Meng Yu would not be leaving immediately. At the very least, they would wait until the various bases had been established and their abilities had improved before following the female lead to collect supplies without paying.
She walked into the store, and the owner enthusiastically came forward to greet her.
“Hello, beautiful. What kind of service do you need?”
“I need to renovate and reinforce my villa.”
The moment the owner heard that it was a villa, he knew this was a major order and became even more enthusiastic.
“Come, have a seat. Have some tea, and we can discuss everything slowly.”
“Thank you,” Mu Xiaoxiao said.
“How would you like it renovated?”
“I want the security level to be as high as possible, so that no one can get in without my permission. The surrounding walls need to be at least three meters high and sturdy. I also want an electric fence, an independent water storage system, and a separate power supply.”
Mu Xiaoxiao rattled off a long list of requirements.
The owner looked as though he had encountered something unusual. Although he was curious, he knew that there were some things a businessman should not ask about. Perhaps this beautiful young woman simply liked peace and quiet and was highly cautious.
“No problem. None of that will be a problem. The only issue is that the price may be a little expensive.”
“Money isn’t a problem. The important thing is that you do a good job. Can you finish it within twenty days?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked.
“No problem, no problem. Even if we have to work overtime, we’ll get it done.”
As long as the money was there, the owner thought.
“Alright. I still have some things to take care of. I’ll come back later and take you to see the place so you can give me an estimate. We can start work the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright, beautiful. Let’s add each other on WeChat so we can stay in touch. I’ll wait for your message.”
Mu Xiaoxiao continued buying supplies.
When she came across baby products, she thought about how the female lead and male lead would have a child in the future. She bought infant formula, baby bottles, children’s clothes, diapers, small toys, and other baby supplies.
She also bought clothes for children between the ages of one and twelve, as well as books. She made sure to buy boys’ underwear and clothes too. After all, there was also the male lead, and there would be male members among their future teammates.
Another afternoon passed quickly.
Ever since Mu Xiaoxiao had left, the renovation store owner had contacted several friends and asked them to prepare to go with him to inspect the villa.
After his friends arrived, he kept pacing around the shop, unable to sit still. He was afraid that Mu Xiaoxiao would never contact him again.
“Brother Chen, can you stop pacing around? You’re making me dizzy.”
“Sigh, I’m just nervous. If I can close this deal, I’ll make a lot of money.”
“Whether she comes back or not, worrying here won’t change anything. You might as well focus on your own work.”
“You’re right.”
Just as they finished speaking, a voice came from the entrance.
“Boss, I’m done with my errands. Are you ready? I’ll take you there,” Mu Xiaoxiao said as she entered.
“Oh, beautiful, you’re back. We’ve been ready for a while. We can leave anytime.”
The moment he heard the voice of his major client, the owner could not have been happier.
Mu Xiaoxiao drove back home and happened to run into Meng Yu, who had also just returned.
“Xiaoxiao, who are these two?” Meng Yu asked with a guarded expression.
“Oh, they’re from a renovation company. I’m planning to renovate the villa a little, so I asked them to come over and take a look and work out a plan,” Mu Xiaoxiao explained.
“The villa is perfectly fine. Why does it need to be renovated? Xiaoxiao, come here.”
Mu Xiaoxiao told the two men to look around as they pleased before walking over to Meng Yu.
“Xiaoxiao, there are so many bad people these days. Don’t let them trick you,” Meng Yu whispered, glancing cautiously at the two men.
