“It’s no trouble at all. If something like this really does happen, I should be thanking you, Junior.”
Gu Jingchuan smiled.
“We’ve been graduating for so long now, so you don’t have to call me Senior every time. It makes us sound too distant. You can just call me by my name.”
Meng Yu thought about it and agreed.
“Then, can I call you Brother Jingchuan?”
“Of course.”
“Then you can call me by my name too.”
“Alright, Xiaoyu.”
“Mm.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After leaving, Meng Yu contacted another senior who worked in pharmaceutical sales. She ordered ten boxes of every type of medicine they might need.
The moment he heard that it was such a large order, he was delighted and even gave her a discount. The medicine would be delivered to her door the next morning.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao knew that Meng Yu needed jade to upgrade her space, so she had been shopping for jade for her. After looking around, she found nothing particularly good.
It seemed that she would have to visit a place that sold rough stones.
After finding a suitable location online, she drove there.
The parking lot was filled with luxury cars.
It looked like she had come to the right place.
After entering, she saw many vendors on both sides of the road selling rough stones that had been cut open at one corner.
Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that some of the stones seemed to have a faint aura surrounding them.
Could that mean there was something inside?
With the attitude of giving it a try, Mu Xiaoxiao bought several stones about the size of her palm.
The vendors initially quoted very high prices. Although she had money, she was not about to let herself be overcharged. After bargaining for a long time, she managed to buy stones originally priced at ten or twenty thousand yuan for only a few thousand yuan each.
She took the stones to be polished and cut open.
To her surprise, every single one of them contained jade.
Even the craftsman responsible for polishing them looked astonished.
“Miss, are you interested in selling these? How about one million yuan for all of them?”
Oh my god, gambling on stones was way too exciting.
She had made an unbelievable profit. If the apocalypse were not about to happen, she might actually have sold them.
“I’m sorry, but these are gifts for someone. They’re not for sale.”
The craftsman looked disappointed.
It was rare to come across jade and emeralds of this quality, but since she was unwilling to sell them, he could not force her.
After leaving, Mu Xiaoxiao went elsewhere and bought several more stones. This time, she did not have them cut open and instead took them straight home.
If she kept uncovering valuable jade, she was afraid someone might start paying attention to her.
After returning, Gu Jingchuan immediately began arranging for people to purchase supplies.
To outsiders, he claimed that he was preparing to open a shopping mall.
Finally, he called his family.
It turned out that the authorities had indeed notified certain important people that they were not allowed to leave A City. They had even arranged for some important talents to be brought there.
As for the exact reason, nothing had been explained, but the old master of the Gu family still asked Gu Jingchuan to return.
Since Meng Yu was in D City, Gu Jingchuan had no intention of going back to A City. He told the old master that he would also prepare some supplies at home before ending the call.
That evening, Mu Xiaoxiao took out the jade she had bought.
“Sister Yu, this is the jade I bought today. Take it into your space and see if anything changes.”
Looking at the seven or eight pieces of jade, Meng Yu knew they must have cost a considerable amount of money and was deeply moved.
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao. If the apocalypse really does come, don’t worry. I’ll definitely protect you.”
“Mm, thank you, Sister Yu.”
Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this was exactly what she wanted. Meng Yu could protect her, and in return, she would make sure not to hold her back.
Meng Yu took the jade into her space and placed it on the platform that absorbed jade.
The pieces of jade slowly dissolved until they completely disappeared.
A sound echoed through the space, and its boundaries began expanding outward. When the expansion finally stopped, the space had become as large as a football field.
Meng Yu happily left the space and shared the news with Mu Xiaoxiao.
“Xiaoxiao, the space is as large as a football field now. When the medicine arrives at the warehouse tomorrow, we can store it inside.”
“Also, I might have to go away for a while. Brother Jingchuan said that we need to go abroad to buy fuel and weapons, but the rest of the supplies can be purchased domestically.”
Mu Xiaoxiao had not expected Meng Yu to solve the problem of obtaining weapons as well. Even if it was with the help of the male lead, it was still better than having no solution at all. In the early stages, firearms would still be extremely useful.
“As long as you can get them, that’s good. Then I’ll have to trouble the two of you. Be careful while you’re away.”
“Don’t worry. Brother Jingchuan is very capable, and I’m not weak either.”
As she spoke, Meng Yu even waved her fist.
Meng Yu had a black belt, so her combat ability was not bad at all. As for Gu Jingchuan, there was even less need to question his capabilities.
The very next day, Gu Jingchuan contacted Meng Yu and arranged for them to leave the country.
As expected of the female lead, her efficiency was truly impressive.
Mu Xiaoxiao moved another portion of the supplies from the warehouse into her space before continuing her shopping.
There was no such thing as having too many supplies.
She was especially enthusiastic about prepared food. Whenever she saw something delicious, she bought hundreds of portions at a time. She told the sellers that she was treating her company employees, but in reality, everything was stored in her space.
Her space had now reached Level 5. The storage room was as large as two basketball courts, and she had five thousand gold coins.
She had also begun raising rabbits, buying one male and one female.
For now, she was not interested in eating them. She wanted them to reproduce.
She also did not collect the eggs laid by the chickens, allowing the hens to incubate the eggs and hatch chicks instead.
After Meng Yu and Gu Jingchuan got off the plane, someone was waiting to pick them up.
They first rented a warehouse, then purchased fuel and had it transported there. Meng Yu was responsible for storing it in her space.
The same went for the weapons.
They bought several dozen firearms, but ammunition was the main focus, with seven or eight crates in total.
Before Meng Yu left, Mu Xiaoxiao had given her fifty million yuan. However, only five million yuan had been spent on these purchases so far.
They had not only bought firearms, but also cold weapons such as large machetes and other bladed weapons.
Gu Jingchuan had purchased a large quantity of supplies as well. He had his employees from his overseas company buy everything and place it in another warehouse, where he needed Meng Yu to store it for him.
There were not only weapons, but also food, medicine, and many other supplies.
He did not intend to make Meng Yu store everything for free. He had also prepared a share of the supplies for her as compensation.
“Wow, Brother Jingchuan, you bought so many supplies!”
Looking at the warehouse packed from top to bottom, which was about the size of a basketball court, Meng Yu was glad that her space had been upgraded. Otherwise, she would not have been able to store everything.
Gu Jingchuan had sold his overseas company and used the money to purchase supplies. After his overseas associates finished handling the matter, he had them return to D City.
“I don’t know how large Xiaoyu’s space is. If it can’t hold everything, we’ll just have to make a few more trips.”
“No problem. My space should be just large enough to store everything in this warehouse. Brother Jingchuan, I’ll put it away now.”
“Alright.”
In just a few moments, everything inside the warehouse disappeared into Meng Yu’s space.
Although Gu Jingchuan had prepared himself mentally, he was still amazed.
“All done, Brother Jingchuan.”
Meng Yu turned around and smiled at him.
“There’s still plenty of time. How about we go take a look around?”
They had spent several hours on the plane and had headed straight to their destination after arriving. Since it was not often that they came abroad, and they did not know whether they would ever have another chance in the future, Meng Yu felt that they should indeed take the opportunity to look around and buy some local specialties for Xiaoxiao.
“Sure.”
The two of them drove away from the warehouse and headed to a commercial street.
Whenever Meng Yu saw something delicious, interesting, or beautiful, she bought it without hesitation.
Gu Jingchuan quietly followed behind her and occasionally paid for something. More often than not, however, he insisted on paying before she had the chance.
Whenever they were carrying too much, they returned to the car, stored everything in Meng Yu’s space, and continued shopping.
That evening, they had dinner and found a hotel to rest in.
The next day, they returned to D City.
They first went to Gu Jingchuan’s home, which was also a villa, and stored one third of the supplies in the basement. The rest remained in Meng Yu’s space as a precaution.
Afterward, Gu Jingchuan drove Meng Yu home.
“Brother Jingchuan, drive safely. Call me if you need anything.”
Gu Jingchuan nodded.
“Go inside and get some rest too.”
“Bye bye.”
“Bye bye.”
Standing by the window, Mu Xiaoxiao watched the two of them outside.
They really were reluctant to part.
“Xiaoxiao, I’m back.”
