When Wen Ruchu tasted the soft pork floss cakes, yogurt, and fresh fruits again, tears almost flowed from her eyes.
After ten years in the apocalypse, it had become extremely difficult to find any decent food. Later on, she had even eaten dirt roots and tree bark. She could barely remember what fresh food tasted like anymore.
Thank God for giving her a second chance.
Only after she had eaten until she was completely stuffed did Wen Ruchu finally stop. Only when she felt fully satiated did everything begin to feel real.
Wen Ruchu poured three cups of hot water and stored them in the Dimensional Space. Two of the cups were placed in the yard and inside the house. She didn’t know whether time would remain frozen inside the Dimensional Space in this life. In her previous life, the time flow inside the Dimensional Space had been completely static.
After all, the Dimensional Space in this life seemed somewhat different…
Wen Ruchu found some A4 paper and a pen and began calculating her assets and the supplies she needed to purchase.
Her parents had both died in an accident, but they had left her with an enormous inheritance. The dividends from the company’s shares alone were enough for her to live comfortably for several lifetimes. Not to mention the several villas under her name, other real estate properties, and funds and stocks.
Wen Ruchu calculated everything.
There were still sixty million in her bank account. Her stocks and funds amounted to one hundred thirty million. Altogether, that made one hundred ninety million.
She found a stack of property certificates in the safe and counted them.
Under her name, she owned five villas, eight duplex apartments, a mountain villa estate, and sixty percent of the shares of Wen Group Corporation.
It was enough—more than enough.
During the ten years of the apocalypse, she had experienced extreme heat, torrential rain, floods, extreme cold, earthquakes, acid rain, polar days, polar nights, and finally, she had died in the dense fog in the tenth year of the apocalypse.
In her previous life, Wen Ruchu had regretted it immensely. All that money had turned into useless numbers and worthless paper.
In this life, she was going to spend it all and turn everything into supplies.
On the paper, Wen Ruchu wrote down four categories: clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Among them, food was naturally the most important.
She did not want to experience what happened in her previous life again—fighting until her head was bleeding over a moldy steamed bun.
As for food supplies, rice, flour, grains, and cooking oil were essential. Then came chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs, along with vegetables and fruits to maintain basic nutritional needs. There was also water.
Even though there was water inside the Dimensional Space, Wen Ruchu had been traumatized by the apocalypse. She had grown used to making double preparations.
For clothing, she would prepare according to the standards for extreme heat and extreme cold.
Summer clothes like short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and winter clothes like padded coats and down jackets. Extreme cold was no joke—the bone-piercing chill was something Wen Ruchu would never forget in her lifetime.
Then there were protective suits, diving suits, various survival suits, gas masks, and face masks.
She would never forget the year of the dense fog, when the particles in the air were inhaled into people’s lungs—it was deadly.
For transportation, it would be best to have options for sea, land, and air.
She planned to spend one month stockpiling supplies, and the remaining month learning how to operate those sea, land, and air vehicles. Otherwise, buying them would be pointless and useless.
That way, no matter what disaster occurred, she would always have a way to escape.
There were also medicines, weapons, daily necessities, and various other items.
These were only rough categories. There were still many small details she hadn’t included yet. She couldn’t remember everything all at once.
Before she had even started, she had already filled an entire page.
Her head hurt.
Although there were still two months left, there were simply too many things to stockpile. And her Dimensional Space was not very large.
It seemed she would also need to find a safer place to store supplies.
First, she had to find a safe residence.
The apocalypse would begin with extreme heat, followed by torrential rain. In her previous life, the floodwater had risen as high as the fifteenth floor.
Therefore, she needed to buy a house at a high elevation and renovate it—at least enough to survive the rainstorms and floods.
As for what came afterward, she would deal with it step by step.
Later, the Official Base would also be established. Wen Ruchu planned to enter the Official Base eventually. After all, humans were social creatures. Moreover, she had died during the dense fog and knew nothing about the disasters that followed. Perhaps the authorities might have instruments capable of predicting something.
Besides, she had the cheat-like advantage of the Dimensional Space.
Since she had supplies, she could trade with the authorities if necessary.
Holding the stack of property certificates, Wen Ruchu went to a real estate agency.
The sales staff saw Wen Ruchu dressed in designer brands. At a glance, she clearly came from an extraordinary background, so one of them stepped forward to greet her.
“Miss, are you looking to buy a property or sell one?”
Wen Ruchu glanced at the man. A work badge hung on his chest.
Liang Pingyu.
Wen Ruchu placed her property certificates on the table.
“I need to sell these houses. As soon as possible. And it must be a full payment deal—no installments accepted.”
When Liang Pingyu saw the thick stack of property certificates, the corner of his mouth twitched.
So… rich.
What would it hurt if the world had one more rich person like him?
Still, he said, “Miss, if you want to sell them in the shortest possible time, the price will have to be far below the market value. It would be a huge loss. We generally wouldn’t recommend that.”
Wen Ruchu shook her head.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as they’re sold. My family is preparing to go abroad, so we need to deal with all our domestic properties. The sooner the better. It would be best if you could settle everything within a week.”
Hearing her say that, Liang Pingyu stopped trying to persuade her.
After all, they were her properties and her money. He only needed to do his job honestly.
Besides, if this deal went through, his commission would be quite substantial.
“Do you have warehouses for rent here?” Wen Ruchu asked. “I need very large warehouses.”
“Yes, Miss. But if you want large warehouses, they will be located in a relatively remote area, on the eastern side of the city.”
That suited Wen Ruchu perfectly.
The more remote, the better. It would make it easier for her to collect supplies.
“In that case, I’ll rent two warehouses. The largest ones.”
“Certainly. The minimum rental period is three months. The rent for two warehouses is ten thousand per month each. If you rent them for three months, the total will be sixty thousand.”
“Then I’ll rent them for one quarter. Give me the address. Also, I want to buy a house as a gift for a friend.”
What?
A house… as a gift?
Rich lady, are you still looking for friends?
Of course, Liang Pingyu didn’t dare say that out loud.
“Miss, please take a look. Which area would you like to buy in? Do you have any requirements?”
This was a major client. If these properties were successfully traded, the commission alone would be enough for him to buy a house. He had to serve her well.
“I want a high-rise apartment. The higher, the better. My friend is an astronomy enthusiast and likes to watch the stars.”
“Here.” Liang Pingyu pointed to a model of a residential complex.
“This is a new residential community. Each unit is around 140 to 150 square meters, which wouldn’t be small even as a gift. The tallest building has twenty-nine floors. It can absolutely satisfy your friend’s stargazing hobby.”
Wen Ruchu looked at the name of the community.
Wuli Fanghua.
She had some impression of it.
In her previous life, the buildings in this community had been very sturdy. Several of them had actually survived the earthquake.
What happened afterward, she didn’t know, because she had already left that area by then.
So Wen Ruchu decisively purchased Unit 2901 in Building 8.
She remembered that this building was one of the few that had not collapsed.
It was about 130 square meters, with three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and two bathrooms.
For her alone, it was more than enough.
It would also allow her to store quite a lot of supplies.
