“Yunxi-ge, that white-bearded grandfather said the white jade pendant you wear around your neck also has a space. Do you want to try it?”
Zhou Yunxi looked deeply at Yuan Tao. Without further hesitation, he took the disinfected utility knife she handed him and drew it across his fingertip. Blood immediately welled up and dripped onto the white jade pendant.
The pendant turned blood-red.
Before Zhou Yunxi could even be surprised at the change, the pendant transformed into a streak of light and shot into his brow.
Seeing this, Yuan Tao became even more certain of her guess.
Zhou Yunxi closed his eyes, dazed for about ten seconds, before opening them again. He looked at Yuan Tao with a complicated expression.
“Yunxi-ge, how is it? Is there a space?” Not caring about his reaction, Yuan Tao asked urgently.
“There is, but most of the space is water. There’s also a five-hundred-square-meter warehouse. No living things.”
Yuan Tao was surprised. All water? Why was Yunxi-ge’s space so strange?
But having a warehouse wasn’t bad either.
“Alright, it’s fine. My space is big. Then let’s start stockpiling supplies now. There are only two months left before the apocalypse.”
Zhou Yunxi’s gaze darkened slightly as he looked at Yuan Tao. “I’ll have people gather supplies as soon as possible, and then we’ll store them in your space. Don’t go to school these two months. I’ll request leave for you. In a bit, I’ll transfer you some money. Take a look at what you want to buy too.”
Yuan Tao jumped up happily. “Great, great~ Yunxi-ge, you’re the best!”
It really felt good to have someone backing her up. In her previous life, she had lived with her parents, and they managed the household. So she was pretty much hopeless at daily life. She had no idea how many supplies a person needed to live for a year. Now that someone else was handling it, she was happy to take it easy.
“Oh, right. Remember to stock up on cooked meals. My space can preserve things, so no worries about spoilage! And seeds too. The space has plenty of black soil, so we can plant crops.”
“How big is the space? Can it hold everything? Will it affect you?” Zhou Yunxi asked.
Yuan Tao proudly patted her chest. “It can hold however much. My space is infinite!”
Watching her cute appearance, like a proud little kitten, Zhou Yunxi couldn’t help but laugh inwardly at the white-bearded grandfather she had made up.
The two discussed what supplies to stockpile. Zhou Yunxi did most of the talking, with Yuan Tao occasionally confirming a few points.
Two hours later.
Zhou Yunxi checked the list he had made. After confirming there were no problems, he turned the computer around for Yuan Tao to see.
“Take a look. Besides these, is there anything else you need?”
Yuan Tao looked at the dense text in the spreadsheet, felt her eyes glaze over, and quickly waved her hand. “Your list is very thorough.”
Only after seeing that she really didn’t want to add anything did Zhou Yunxi let it go.
Then he picked up the phone and arranged for money to be raised and various supplies to be gathered.
As for Yuan Tao, she took the hundred million Zhou Yunxi had just transferred to her, changed into casual sportswear, and drove out.
The stockpiling was in Zhou Yunxi’s hands. Right now, she just wanted to buy, buy, buy! In her previous life, she never had the experience of shopping madly without looking at prices.
But she didn’t forget to do serious business either. She first went to a shop specializing in seeds. She planned to buy some seeds first and have Xiao Jiu plant them. She couldn’t waste the excellent black soil in the space.
Looking at the wide variety of seeds in the shop, Yuan Tao was dazzled.
She simply cleared out the entire shop. She didn’t know if it was complete, but it didn’t matter much. Zhou Yunxi’s stockpile list had many seeds too.
And the space should be able to preserve seeds, so she didn’t need to worry about running out in the future. She could actually stock up more and keep them. If the apocalypse ended, these seeds would be very useful.
Yuan Tao paid the deposit readily and had the owner deliver to the warehouse address Zhou Yunxi had given her before she left, with the balance paid on delivery.
Yuan Tao repeated the same process at two more seed shops and only left reluctantly when she felt it was about enough.
The seed shop owners, having gotten such a big sale, happily saw off Yuan Tao, their goddess of wealth, then closed their shops one after another, organized the goods, loaded them into trucks, and delivered to Yuan Tao.
After buying seeds, Yuan Tao checked the time. There were still two hours until lunch. She planned to go to the city’s largest mall and start her buy-buy-buy mode.
She first entered a clothing store and began shopping madly. Anything she liked, she bought one of every color. Seeing the men’s section, she thought of Zhou Yunxi and picked out many clothes that suited him.
Underwear and other intimate clothing were also bought twenty pieces each according to size.
After buying these, she went to look at skincare products. Even in the apocalypse, she had to take care of her skin. She had a space anyway, so she didn’t need to worry about these becoming a burden.
So, she bought twenty sets each of various luxury skincare and makeup brands, only stopping when she felt hungry.
The mall had a delivery service, so Yuan Tao didn’t need to secretly put these into her space. She directly gave the mall staff the address of Yuejian Bay Villa.
After taking care of all that, Yuan Tao found an authentic roast duck restaurant. She decided to eat the roast duck she had been craving for lunch today!
She went to the roast duck restaurant, ordered one roast duck to eat there, and another twenty to take away. She asked the staff to slice them all, and to deep-fry the duck frames with salt and pepper.
The meal lasted over an hour. After a delicious, satisfying meal, Yuan Tao asked the staff to help carry the takeout to the back seat of her car.
After getting in the car, she checked that the windows were closed. After confirming no one could see inside, she put all the roast ducks into the space warehouse.
By now it was dark, but the city center was bright as day. Neon signs flashed among the buildings, lighting up the night.
The mall was bustling with people, a scene of prosperity and liveliness.
And this prosperity would cease to exist after the apocalypse arrived.
Yuan Tao felt a little sorrow in her heart, but she was only an ordinary person. She couldn’t save this world.
Yuan Tao was just about to start the car when she received a call from the seed shop owner, asking her to come collect the goods. So she drove to the warehouse.
When Yuan Tao arrived, the seed shop owner was already waiting. Yuan Tao hurried to open the warehouse door for the owner to unload.
After the owner finished unloading, Yuan Tao settled the balance. Watching the owner drive away, she closed the warehouse door. After checking to confirm there were no cameras, she raised her hand and with a wave, all the seeds in the warehouse went into the space.
Yuan Tao used her consciousness to instruct Xiao Jiu to plant some of each type of seed in the space, and to plant more grain.
After finishing up, Yuan Tao planned to drive home. On the way, she saw a night market snack street.
Looking at those foods, fragrant enough to make her dizzy, Yuan Tao couldn’t move her feet.
“So fragrant!”
Yuan Tao touched her still-round belly, wishing she had a few more stomachs.
She couldn’t eat anymore now, but she could pack them up and put them in the space!
So, Yuan Tao happily dove into the snack street.
She parked the car not far from the snack street and began weaving through the various snack stalls, waiting in line to pack up all kinds of snacks. Stinky tofu, grilled cold noodles, fried skewers, starch sausages, Fuding pork slices, grilled gluten, crispy chicken collarbone, jianbing guozi, cheese corn dogs, malatang, luosifen, and more…
She practically bought out the entire snack street.
