Su Wanxing sat at her desk and opened a blank document on her optical computer. Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she began listing a detailed stockpiling plan.
Since the Modern Zone of the Intelligent Myriad Space refreshed every day, there was no need to store excessive quantities of each item. That would only waste space. Her core principle was “complete variety, stored according to need.” However, items that could not be refreshed—hard currency—had to be prepared in large amounts.
She started by sorting through daily necessities.
Her fingers slid across the categories in the shopping app. Tissues, toiletries, laundry detergent, soap, disinfectant—these basic household items were added in small quantities, each chosen from the highest-rated brands.
“These can refresh every day, so I don’t need too many. But I can’t be missing any of them,” she muttered quietly.
She also added feminine hygiene products, baby diapers, and wet wipes to the cart. Ancient times didn’t have such things. With them, whether for her own use or for taking care of Wanyue, life would be far more convenient.
Food was the main priority.
For staple foods, she purchased one hundred pounds each of rice, flour, and cornmeal. For grains, she selected every available type—millet, red beans, mung beans, and more.
For ready-to-eat foods, besides the compressed biscuits and self-heating rice meals she had already added earlier, she included freeze-dried fruits and vegetables and vacuum-packed cooked dishes.
For fruits, she chose durable varieties—apples, oranges, durians, dragon fruit—and nearly every type available in online fruit supermarkets.
Seafood orders included lobster, abalone, ribbonfish, and others, all cleaned and ready for cooking.
“These will refresh every day, but there has to be a source. I’ll stock some as ‘samples’ first and later say I bought them from a merchant in town,” she noted on the list.
She also added various meats—pork, beef, and lamb—all vacuum packed for convenient storage.
Then she browsed an outdoor supply store and swept through nearly all categories of outdoor gear.
Next, she visited several online department stores and selected at least one of nearly every item available.
Better safe than sorry.
The next category was items that could be exchanged for money.
Su Wanxing opened a handicraft store page and chose a batch of exquisite glass ornaments—vases, pendants, paperweights, and more. Such items were rare in ancient times and would certainly fetch a good price.
For scholarly supplies, she selected high-quality Xuan paper, Hui ink, and Hu brushes. These could be used personally, given as gifts, or sold.
She also purchased beautifully printed reprints of ancient books, along with practical manuals on agriculture, sericulture, and medicine.
“In ancient times, few people are literate. Books are also a kind of hard currency. Besides, learning more knowledge is never wrong.”
Gold and silver were the most important.
She checked her assets. Her parents’ inheritance combined with company dividends amounted to a considerable fortune.
“Gold bars and silver bars can’t refresh. I must store a lot.”
She immediately decided to convert all her money—except what was needed for stockpiling—into gold and silver bars. She would also purchase simple gold and silver jewelry, along with diamonds and crystals that could be worn or sold in emergencies.
Thinking of this, she called Qin Bei.
“Uncle Qin, I want to sell all my shares in the company,” Su Wanxing said firmly.
Qin Bei was silent for a moment before asking with concern, “Wanxing, did something happen? The company is running very well now. Those shares are very valuable.”
“I know,” Su Wanxing took a deep breath. “But I have something very important to do. I need a large amount of cash to convert into gold and silver. Please help me handle it as soon as possible.”
After a few seconds of silence, Qin Bei replied, “Alright. I trust you. I’ll arrange it immediately and try to get you the best price.”
After hanging up, Su Wanxing felt more at ease and continued with her preparations.
For household appliances, she chose solar-powered generators with energy storage batteries. There was no electricity in ancient times, so these would solve major problems.
She selected both manual and electric sewing machines to make clothing.
She also added small kitchen appliances like rice cookers and induction stoves that could run on solar power.
For fabrics, she purchased cotton, silk, and linen in multiple varieties.
She also bought complete sets of ancient-style clothing for men, women, elders, and children—from inner garments to outer robes.
For transportation, she selected a wheelchair, a bicycle, and an electric tricycle.
She even boldly ordered an off-road vehicle and a small motorhome.
“One of each is enough. They could be extremely useful at critical moments.”
For self-defense, besides knives and pepper spray, she added bulletproof vests and helmets.
For electronic devices, she downloaded large collections of traditional craft tutorials onto a tablet—from brewing alcohol and making sugar to weaving cloth and smelting iron.
She also bought various crop and vegetable seeds.
“Even if the space refreshes food, crops grown from seeds will provide a reasonable explanation for where the harvest comes from.”
With so many items, they couldn’t possibly be delivered directly to her apartment.
Su Wanxing immediately contacted a real estate agent and rented a large warehouse in the suburbs. It was remote and highly private.
She arranged with all the sellers to deliver the goods to the warehouse three days later.
After finishing the online purchases, she changed clothes and went out.
First, she visited several famous restaurants in the city and negotiated with the owners. At the agreed time, each restaurant would prepare a portion of their signature dishes and send them packed to the warehouse.
“That way I won’t have to cook every day. Much more convenient.”
After leaving the restaurants, she went to several snack shops and ordered many of her favorite local snacks as well.
While shopping, she also visited a bookstore and bought a batch of elementary and middle school textbooks, along with books on history, geography, and practical reference materials.
She also selected study supplies—pencils, fountain pens, notebooks, and more.
“What if Wanyue and Wanfeng want to study someday? These will be useful.”
When she returned home, Su Wanxing suddenly thought about firearms.
On Blue Planet, firearms were strictly controlled and could only be purchased abroad.
She contacted Qin Bei again and asked him to arrange a trip to M Country after the shares were sold and to help her connect with reliable local channels.
“Uncle Qin, this might be a little dangerous, but it’s very important to me. Please help me arrange it carefully.”
“Wanxing, don’t worry. I’ll handle it. Just be careful,” Qin Bei replied with concern, but without hesitation.
Over the next few days, Su Wanxing spent almost all her time online refining her stockpile list, afraid she might forget something.
At the warehouse, merchants gradually delivered their goods. She visited every day and stored the items into her space.
As she looked at the shelves in the space becoming fuller and fuller—from food and daily necessities to tools and weapons—her sense of security grew stronger.
“Just a little longer. Once the shares are sold, the money converted to gold and silver, and the firearms purchased, everything will be ready.”
Standing in the warehouse and looking at the mountain of goods, Su Wanxing’s eyes were filled with determination.
She didn’t know when the day of transmigration would come.
But she had already made thorough preparations.
As long as she could protect Wanyue and Wanfeng, any hardship would be worth it.
That evening, Qin Bei called to inform her that the shares had been successfully sold. After deducting handling fees, the funds had already been deposited and converted into large quantities of gold and silver bars.
He had also booked a private plane ticket to M Country for her.
“Wanxing, everything has been arranged. You can depart tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Uncle Qin. I really appreciate your help.”
After hanging up, Su Wanxing began packing her luggage, preparing to embark on the important journey ahead.
