After that, she continued buying a wide variety of other goods, using the same explanation each time—consistent enough that none of the shop owners grew suspicious.
When she passed by grain and seed shops, as well as stores selling all kinds of fruit and vegetable seeds, Su Muyao suddenly had a realization. Since she was heading to an ancient setting, seeds would be absolutely essential.
After all, ancient times didn’t have the improved, high-yield varieties available in the modern world. So she went on another buying spree, stocking up like crazy—almost clearing out both seed shops entirely.
The shop owners were beaming with joy. After seeing off this “goddess of wealth,” the two even made plans to celebrate with a lavish dinner that evening.
This single transaction had earned them nearly half the price of a house—an incredible windfall. Not only did they sell off all their existing stock, but they also secured orders for over a million units of various seeds.
“Three years without business, one deal to last three years”—they never imagined that saying would one day apply to their little seed shops. It felt absolutely amazing.
After leaving the seed stores, Su Muyao turned a corner and happened to spot a liquor shop.
She walked in, but when the owner heard that she wanted five large vats of baijiu, he froze for a moment and gave the young girl a once-over.
Still, business was business. He accepted her deposit and confidently assured her that the order would be delivered the next day.
Looking at the list in her hands, she moved on to the next items: vegetables and meat.
Buying vegetables was quick—she placed large orders for every variety, and the vendors arranged direct deliveries. Some sellers hadn’t even finished unloading their produce before Su Muyao bought the entire truck along with the goods.
She spent the whole day wandering the wholesale market, but there were surprisingly few meat vendors.
After asking around, she learned that a slaughterhouse wasn’t too far away and immediately headed there without delay.
As soon as she parked and stepped out, a strong, pungent smell hit her nose.
Su Muyao had already checked current meat prices online, so she had a rough idea of what to expect.
Sure enough, the moment she stated that she wanted to purchase a large quantity of fresh meat, the slaughterhouse owner looked at her as if she were a fool.
“I’ve never seen you before. Which market are you from?”
With a faint smile, Su Muyao replied calmly, “I was referred here by an acquaintance. They said your prices are fair and your meat is fresh.
My family runs a cannery, but our previous supplier had to quit due to personal matters, so I need to find a new one.”
The owner nodded in understanding.
“How much do you need?”
She gave him a number, and his expression shifted immediately—from indifference to eager attentiveness.
Still, he couldn’t help feeling uncertain. Could a young woman in her early twenties really make such a large deal?
Su Muyao didn’t leave him wondering for long. She quickly provided the warehouse address.
“Deliver everything to this address over the next two days. I’ll pay half upfront, and the rest after inspection.”
Hearing this, the owner nodded repeatedly. “No problem, no problem! Don’t worry—we guarantee quality and quantity. No cutting corners. If you’re satisfied, be sure to keep ordering from us in the future!”
Su Muyao exchanged a few polite words before leaving.
Checking the time, she figured she had done enough shopping for the day.
After driving home, she calculated her expenses—she had only spent a little over 20 million today.
With tens of billions still at her disposal, figuring out how to spend it all was becoming a problem in itself. She began planning what to purchase next.
It seemed that, in ancient times, the most important thing of all would be medicine.
As for medicine, she would have to find a way to source it from pharmaceutical companies. For now, she decided to order whatever she could online.
She opened her tablet and started placing orders—outdoor jackets, thermal wear, cotton shoes, rain boots, slippers, down coats, and even various styles of traditional clothing. She also stocked up on protective gear like goggles, gloves, hazmat suits, face masks, and disinfectants—buying everything in large quantities.
Most importantly, she made sure to store enough sanitary pads and tissues to last a lifetime.
Anything else could be forgotten, but not these. They were absolutely essential.
Next came personal care items—she stocked up heavily on toiletries and cosmetics as well. After all, these weren’t things she could make herself, so the more, the better.
She recalled that people in ancient times mainly used fire strikers, so she bought large amounts of lighters, flint, matches, and fire starters.
Then she hesitated—should she also buy engines, diesel, gasoline, coal, gas tanks, and portable stoves? In the end, she decided to stock up on everything, including rice cookers, ovens, liquefied gas tanks, and bottled fuel.
Whether she’d need them or not didn’t matter—better to have them. She continued with alcohol fuel blocks, alcohol stoves, solar panels, candles, and flashlights.
She stocked up on all of it. If she ever managed to build a stable life—or gained enough power—she hoped she could at least live comfortably while keeping herself safe.
She vaguely remembered the family who had taken her in during her dream; they had been extremely poor.
That meant one thing—she needed even more food. Far more.
But most of what she had stored so far consisted of refined rice and flour, which might not be ideal. So she deliberately searched online for broken rice and lower-grade flour—things that wouldn’t draw suspicion if she used them later.
She also stocked up on live animals—chickens, ducks, cattle, geese, sheep, and pigs.
She had already tested her storage space: not only could it preserve items, it could also hold living creatures.
However, the moment a living being was placed inside, it would be frozen in time.
No matter when it was taken out, it would remain exactly as it was when stored. That feature was incredibly convenient.
She continued ordering all sorts of miscellaneous items, tapping away until her fingers nearly cramped before finally setting the tablet down.
In just over three hours, she had spent nearly 100 million.
The number was almost absurd. She couldn’t help but wonder—when the deliveries arrived in a few days, would the constant flow of large trucks completely block the road leading to her row of warehouses?
With that thought, she quickly contacted a real estate agent on her phone.
Her current warehouses definitely wouldn’t be enough. If everything arrived at once, she couldn’t very well keep storing items in her space while asking the trucks to wait outside.
Realizing how late it had gotten, she went to bed, planning to continue stockpiling the next day.
Her instincts had always been sharp—she had a strong feeling that time was running out.
…
At dawn, the first rays of sunlight spread across the land.
People in the city went about their daily routines, busy in the streets and alleys, unaware that a young woman would spend several hundred million more that very day.
After waking up, Su Muyao quickly freshened up and drove out to receive her deliveries.
At the warehouse, the fresh meat she had ordered earlier had already arrived. Most of it had been slaughtered before dawn and delivered in the morning as usual.
Next came the vegetables—72 truckloads in total. The unloading crew worked nonstop until noon before finally finishing.
She handed each worker a red envelope containing 1,000 yuan and said to one of the foremen, “You’ve all worked hard. This is just a small token of appreciation. I’m quite busy today, so I won’t be able to provide lunch—hope that’s okay.”
The foreman quickly nodded. “This is our job, no need to worry about meals. We’ll gratefully accept this on behalf of everyone. If you ever have more work, just contact us—we’ll make sure it’s handled perfectly.”
After Su Muyao left, the workers gathered around to open the envelopes. None of them had expected so much money.
Usually, employers would just provide a meal and maybe some cigarettes or drinks.
This young woman, however, was unexpectedly generous.
