Towels, bath towels, and dish towels, 1,000 pieces each.
Mosquito repellent liquid, mosquito coils, floral-scented lotion, essential balm… 1,000 cases each.
As for other small items like hangers, basins, paper, and pens, their supermarket already had plenty in stock, which Lin Ran had already stored away in her Dimension.
Moreover, these items weren’t used much, so after discussing it, they decided not to order more.
Lin Ze had frozen to death in his previous life, so Lin Ma ordered an additional 10,000 cases of Heating pads.
Hot water bottles and electric blankets, 100 sets each.
Eight-catty down quilts, ten-catty Xinjiang cotton quilts, wool blankets, silk quilts… 1,000 sets each.
Heating appliances like warm air blowers, oil-filled radiators, electric stoves… 100 units each.
The total value of these purchases was substantial, but fortunately, they only needed to pay a 10% deposit upfront, so the cash they had on hand was enough to manage.
As for the remaining balance, aside from Lin Ba liquidating his stocks and property tomorrow, Lin Ze had already earned them a considerable amount.
In just a short while, a large pile of Gold bricks had appeared in front of Lin Ze in the back seat.
“Go, Xiao Ze! Mom wants to sleep on a Gold mountain tonight,” Lin Ma said, her eyes sparkling.
Encouraged by his mother, Lin Ze wiped the sweat from his face and felt no fatigue at all. “Alright, I’ll give it my all!”
Lin Ran glanced around; the alley had little traffic, few pedestrians, and no surveillance cameras. Still, worried about unexpected incidents, she stored all the Gold bricks into her Dimension.
Once the Gold bricks were inside the Dimension, they were absolutely safe. Even if the heavens themselves came looking, they wouldn’t be able to find them.
It wasn’t until the city lights began to glow that Lin Ba drove home, bringing along a reluctant Lin Ze.
“Dad, let’s stay a bit longer. I can still manage,” Lin Ze pleaded, having just grasped the use of his Superpower and unwilling to leave.
Producing one Gold brick after another in his hands—what a sense of accomplishment!
Lin Ba sighed and advised, “Xiao Ze, that’s enough for this place. Let’s find another ‘sheep’ to shear tomorrow. If you drain this one completely, I’m afraid they might notice and report it to the police.”
Lin Ze was unconcerned. “There’s still plenty left. This family is incredibly wealthy. I can still sense the air thick with abundant Gold particles.”
Lin Ran turned and glanced back in surprise at the Ye family’s Cloud Metropolis Bank behind them, never imagining that Ye Lan’s family was so rich.
The gold she had stored in her Dimension that afternoon alone weighed at least 1,000 catties, yet the concentration of Gold particles here remained incredibly dense.
No wonder the Ye family could live so comfortably even after the apocalypse—their family fortune was truly immense.
In that case, she wouldn’t hesitate to return tomorrow and continue “shearing their sheep.”
This was the perfect opportunity to weaken the enemy’s strength.
Lin Ran patted Lin Ze’s shoulder and said, “Xiao Ze, you’ve worked hard today. When we get back, soak well in the Spirit Spring Water and see if you can level up. I’ll bring you back here tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Lin Ze cheered up again.
“Right, resting and leveling up is a good idea. Mom, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to sleep on that Gold mountain.”
Lin Ma was lovingly admiring two Gold bricks in her hands.
Hearing her dear son’s words, she beamed. “No problem, my precious. Mom can wait.”
When they arrived home, Lin Ba and Lin Ze went to the delivery station to pick up the foldable bathtub they had ordered from a same-day delivery service.
Lin Ran and Lin Ma bought takeout barbecue and braised chicken rice from shops near their residential area to bring home.
Upon returning home, everyone quickly finished their meal and hurriedly changed into swimwear before following Lin Ran into the Dimension to soak in the Spirit Spring Water.
Lin Ba and Lin Ma had analyzed during the day why Lin Ze had also developed a Superpower. They concluded it was likely due to soaking in this Spirit Spring Water. They too wanted Superpowers—preferably Metal ability, or if not, Diamond ability would be nice; it sounded impressive and was a great power for building wealth.
Thus, the whole family eagerly entered to cleanse their bodies and marrow. With the foldable bathtubs for soaking, the fish in the stream were spared from further disturbance. To avoid polluting each other with the foul odors, they tacitly chose spots far apart to bathe.
After her bath, Lin Ran noticed the seeds she had planted yesterday had already sprouted tender shoots, lush green and utterly adorable. The sprouts were 5cm long, and calculating the time, this growth rate was twice as fast as the previous Level 4 Dimension. It seemed they could enjoy stir-fried bok choy tomorrow. The thought of eating it soon made Lin Ran happy.
She silently scolded herself for forgetting to buy a tiller, then picked up a hoe nearby and continued farming. Farming, given time, becomes addictive. Watching the fruits of one’s labor grow batch by batch brings an indescribable sense of achievement.
After finishing their soak, Lin Ba and Lin Ma saw Lin Ran working and automatically joined in. “Ran Ran, leave the farm work to your dad. When I was young, I often helped your grandpa with planting,” Lin Ba said, his hoeing posture perfectly standard, and his work speed noticeably faster than Lin Ran’s.
“Dad, teach me how,” Lin Ze chimed in, not wanting to be left out.
“Shoo, shoo, we don’t need you here. Go focus on honing your Superpower. Your mom is counting on sleeping next to your Gold mountain,” Lin Ba retorted. Lin Ze thought it over and obediently went back to soak in the Spirit Spring Water.
With Lin Ma and Lin Ba’s help, another plot of land was soon tilled. Suddenly, Lin Ran remembered something: “Mom, Dad, are we transferring the house to someone tomorrow?”
“Yes, we’ll have 15 million in cash by tomorrow. I’ll go to the company in the morning and handle the transfer in the afternoon.”
“Once the house is sold, where will we live?”
Lin Ba laughed, “I forgot to tell you all—I actually rented another place for us today: the Mid-Levels Cloud Villa.”
Mid-Levels Cloud Villa? Wasn’t that the largest and most luxurious villa area in Cloud Metropolis?
Lin Ma was startled, “Honey, why did you rent Mid-Levels Cloud Villa? Isn’t it very expensive?”
Lin Ba chuckled, “It’s not too bad—50,000 a month. I thought, since the apocalypse is coming, we should enjoy the life of the super-rich in these last few months. Dear, my dream was always to become wealthy and have you live in Mid-Levels Cloud Villa someday. It’s a pity I haven’t achieved that in half a lifetime. Now, let’s go crazy in these final days and enjoy a few days of luxury in Mid-Levels Cloud Villa. What do you say?”
Lin Ba’s words made Lin Ma’s eyes well up, “I’m not that materialistic. As long as I’m with you, I’d be happy even living under a bridge. But spending the last few months taking the kids to Mid-Levels Cloud Villa for a few days—that’s a wonderful idea.”
Lin Ran also thought it was a great idea. Why not make the most of these final moments and enjoy life to the fullest?
