“One thousand catties of cotton, total cost 7,412.5 yuan.”
Wen Xi recorded the transaction.
If it weren’t for the mission, one thousand catties of high-quality cotton would have taken two days’ worth of shopping quota and required batch delivery… but now, not only was the budget ample, but she still had over forty thousand left unspent.
There was a bit too much money left.
To be safe, Wen Xi took the initiative to ask: “I can also produce fuel, stoves, thermal insulation sponge wall panels, and other materials. Would you like those?”
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “Politely asking for the price.”
These supplies were even more critical than cotton, especially the fuel; no one could refuse such survival essentials.
[Wen Xi](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Deal.%22): “Since we have a cooperation, I won’t ask for much. Five hundred liters of fuel, one hundred stoves, and five hundred square meters of thermal insulation sponge wall panels for decoration. I want three supernatural items.”
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “I can only offer two supernatural items.”
They waited a while.
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “Add fuel to one thousand liters, price remains unchanged.”
[Wen Xi](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Deal.%22): “…I’m really not making money anymore. It’s very strenuous to produce warm items; I’ll be drained of every drop soon.”
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “Eight hundred liters, or we’ll have to think of another way.”
A little bit of back-and-forth could make the other party feel that acquiring these supplies wasn’t easy. It induced the other party to believe that these supplies were truly produced by Wen Xi herself.
After confirming the order, Wen Xi immediately placed it through her shopping app.
Eight hundred liters of fuel cost 5,200 yuan, one hundred stoves cost 15,100 yuan, and decorating 500 square meters of thermal insulation sponge wall panels cost 20,000 yuan.
The transaction cost a total of 47,712.5 yuan, leaving 2,287.5 yuan unspent.
But Wen Xi planned to keep this 2,287.5 yuan to buy supplies tomorrow, resell them, and establish her “Sun Warmer Pad” persona in front of others.
“The quantity is correct.”
After counting the supplies, Wen Xi delivered everything via red packets.
Once the other party clicked to receive them, regardless of how much shock Xu Xiaoxiao and the others were in, or how amazed they were at the mountain of supplies, Wen Xi turned her attention to picking out supernatural items.
The item list was meticulously categorized and labeled with their effects.
There were no offensive supernatural items she wanted; they were mainly daily-use or protective types, along with some gardening tools and seeds that had transformed into supernatural items.
“Forget it,” Wen Xi consoled herself, “Life is more than just fighting and killing; it’s also about enjoying the good things. Having something is better than nothing.”
She wasn’t lacking food, so her main energy was focused on household items rather than seeds. But as she flipped through, Wen Xi’s eyes began to shine.
“Hiss… why do I want all of them?”
[Wonderful Radio] (Old Man Liu)
Turns on every day from 8:00 to 10:00, randomly capturing other people’s conversations. Is it a scandalous ethical dispute, a murder conspiracy, or just everyday chatter?
[Rose That Makes Me Master] (Auntie Xu)
Plant a rose and present it to any creature; even a central figure of power will have to obey your commands for five minutes. It’s very suitable for seizing power and wealth. You know, romance is useless; taking everything is most practical.
[Plush Bear Knight] (Lily)
A very cute and loyal girl bear. As long as you hug her to sleep, the little bear can protect you from any attack and reflect damage after three attacks. Everyone knows that a fluffy little bear just loves you very much, dear master baby.
Wen Xi lingered on the Bear Knight.
If it could provide protection while sleeping, she could get a good rest. Good sleep was too important in the apocalypse; worse, one could lose hair and go bald!
She used a drawing tool to mark the bear first.
Wen Xi then deliberated and chose two others.
[Wonderful Mattress]
A high-quality mattress made by a clever fairy tailor. No matter how exhausted a person is, just lying on this mattress for five minutes will sweep away the fatigue; for injured people, just lying on it for eight hours will basically lead to recovery.
[Magical Fertilizer Machine]
Automatically produces and deposits various types of fertilizer in designated locations. Great! It’s a good helper for Grandma Farmer! Old farmers are saved!
She wanted these three first.
Wen Xi sent the list to Xu Xiaoxiao.
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “Aren’t you afraid I won’t give you the compensation?”
[Wen Xi](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Deal.%22): “You can try.”
Since she had the ability to provide one thousand catties of high-quality cotton, a large quantity of fuel and other supplies, and could even send them via WeChat red packets—she also had the ability to hunt them down to Nanshan.
The scene then would truly be stepping on Nanshan Nursing Home and punching Nanshan Kindergarten.
Moreover.
Wen Xi had not only force but also supplies.
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “I won’t try then. How should I pay the reward?”
Wen Xi sent three green pending-payment transfers to the other side, noting the names of the three supernatural items.
A few seconds later, the green bar showed it had been clicked.
Three supernatural items appeared on the table in front of Wen Xi.
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “It can be played like this? Is what you activated really a Sun Warmer Pad?”
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “I think it’s not a Sun Warmer Pad at all, but some kind of warm-item trading stall. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell the person in charge of the 007 group?”
Wen Xi was indifferent.
Without evidence, anything said was nonsense, not to mention that the guess was wrong; she could guide the “trading stall” setting, showing a bit of feigned anger.
Thus, Wen Xi typed and sent:
[Wen Xi](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Deal.%22): “I’ll say it again, you can try.”
[Xu Xiaoxiao](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Received.%22): “Sorry, sorry, it was me who talked too much. I won’t say it anymore.”
Effect achieved.
Wen Xi closed the chat and began to inspect the traded supernatural items.
Confirming they were intact.
Wen Xi still didn’t touch them carelessly, calling over the little soldiers to bring the two small hamsters she kept, forcing one to touch the Wonderful Mattress and the other the Magical Fertilizer Machine.
Although she hadn’t heard of supernatural items that could threaten people through re-binding, caution was best. She waited to see the effect.
“Squeak.”
The two little hamsters squeaked uncomfortably, struggling and twisting their bodies.
Until a white light flashed over their bodies, successfully binding them.
“How nice, you two are also magical hamsters possessing supernatural items, surpassing fifty percent of humanity.”
Wen Xi put the hamsters back into the cage.
Filled the food trough.
It could be considered their “last meal.”
Wen Xi took out the bow and arrows she bought, practiced for an entire afternoon, comparing them to the gifted online archery course.
She practiced from missing the target to being able to hit the eight-ring twice.
After finishing dinner, Wen Xi checked the hamster cage, confirmed the hamsters were fine, then took them all out and slammed them to death to transfer the binding of the two supernatural items.
Wen Xi moved the mattress into a safe tent, set an alarm, and entered deep sleep to restore her status.
The wind started blowing outside the window.
Because of the apocalypse mutation, the residential complex was ablaze with light. People were surfing their phones in near unison, even more anxiously.
But suddenly, a hint of chill was felt.
It wasn’t the coolness of a summer rain but a bone-chilling cold peculiar to winter.
“…Does anyone feel that the temperature has dropped?”
In the 007 group, a new message popped up.
It carried a hesitant, restless probing.
Outside the window, the sound of the rain turned hoarse and grimly changed its tune.
