Zhen Lütu spent the entire night finally figuring out how the Green Tea Survival System worked.
The system was essentially a blind box exchange machine. She could use Green Tea Points to exchange for blind boxes, but whatever came out of them was completely random.
The blind boxes were also divided into different grades. Green blind boxes were the lowest grade, blue ones were mid grade, red ones were slightly above average, purple ones were high grade, and gold ones were the highest grade of all.
Zhen Lütu could only conclude that there was no skill involved at all. It was entirely a matter of luck.
“Miss, your uncle is already waiting for you downstairs.” The butler knocked on the door to remind her.
That fast? Her uncle really was the kind of person who would not get up early unless there was something in it for him.
“I’ll be right there. Let him wait downstairs for now.”
According to the progress of the story, the apocalypse would arrive in six days. That was why Zhen Lütu had contacted her dear uncle the previous night and told him that she wanted to sell him fifty percent of the shares under her name.
After her parents died, the original owner had inherited a substantial fortune from them, including fifty percent of her father’s company.
Her uncle had been coveting those shares for a long time.
Since Zhen Lütu needed a huge amount of money to purchase supplies, she had invited her uncle over to have a good talk and fleece him properly.
An hour had already passed since Zhen Shumao arrived.
He had already drunk eight glasses of water while sitting there and was growing increasingly impatient. However, whenever he thought about the shares that were within his reach, he managed to suppress his temper.
His niece had finally agreed to let go of the shares. Previously, she had refused to sell them to him no matter what, so he had no idea what had gotten into her today that she had actually taken the initiative to invite him over.
“Uncle, long time no see.”
Zhen Lütu slowly descended the stairs, her exquisite makeup making her look even more radiant and captivating than usual.
Looking at his niece, who seemed even more beautiful than before, Zhen Shumao could not help thinking that this dead girl only had her looks going for her.
On the surface, however, he had no choice but to smile obsequiously.
“Long time no see, niece. You’ve become even prettier. Unlike your sister, who knows nothing but studying.”
Zhen Lütu sneered inwardly.
Wasn’t he just mocking her for being a pretty face while taking the opportunity to show off his daughter?
“Yes, Uncle. My cousin inherited both your brains and your looks. Unlike me, I only inherited my parents’ good looks.”
Zhen Lütu looked at Zhen Shumao’s terribly disfigured face and said with an expression of “regret.”
【Green Tea Points +40】
Hmm? She had not even shown one thousandth of her abilities yet, and she had already earned forty points. It seemed Green Tea Points were not that difficult to earn after all.
The corners of Zhen Lütu’s lips curved upward slightly.
Seeing that faint smile, Zhen Shumao could no longer remain calm.
“Zhen Lütu! What exactly do you mean by that?”
“Nothing at all, Uncle. Why are you so angry? Did I say something wrong? If my cousin didn’t inherit it from you, then did she inherit it from that neighbor of yours surnamed Wang?”
Zhen Lütu looked completely innocent.
【Green Tea Points +100】
“You… you!”
Zhen Shumao was so furious that his face and neck turned bright red.
“All right, Uncle. We’ve finished reminiscing. Let’s talk about the shares. How much are you planning to pay for the shares I own?”
The moment Zhen Lütu brought up the shares, a smile finally appeared on Zhen Shumao’s face.
“Tu Tu, here’s the thing. Your uncle has prepared two billion yuan for you, along with a villa in H City’s newest development. What do you think?”
“Uncle, are you trying to get rid of a beggar with that amount? The company is worth at least ten billion yuan, and you’re offering me two billion? You really have some nerve. Besides, that villa development has already been ruined, hasn’t it? Nobody can even sell those houses now. Are you trying to dump that hot potato on me? I may be young, but I’m not stupid.”
Zhen Lütu replied coldly.
Zhen Shumao felt as though Zhen Lütu’s icy gaze had wrapped itself around his throat, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.
“How about this? Give me four billion yuan. As for the villa, I’ll consider it my way of helping Uncle take that burden off your hands.”
“This… this…”
Zhen Shumao felt as though his heart were bleeding.
“Uncle, you should know that I’m not short of buyers right now. The only reason I called you here is because we’re related by blood. If even that isn’t enough, then let’s end the deal here.”
Zhen Lütu pretended to get up.
“Wait, wait, wait! Deal, it’s a deal! Niece, you can’t go back on your word!”
Seeing that Zhen Lütu was about to leave, Zhen Shumao immediately panicked.
“Fine. I’ve already prepared the contract, so we can sign it right now. But I want the four billion immediately. Transfer the money to this bank account.”
Zhen Lütu handed Zhen Shumao the contract she had prepared the night before, along with her bank account details.
“Niece, I’m afraid I can’t gather that much money right now.”
Zhen Shumao had not expected Zhen Lütu to demand the money immediately.
“Can’t gather it? Then there’s no need for us to sign the contract.”
As she spoke, Zhen Lütu reached for the contract.
“Don’t, don’t! Good niece, I can gather it. Your uncle will get it together right now!”
Zhen Shumao immediately picked up his phone and called the finance department of his company.
A while later, Zhen Lütu’s phone showed that four billion yuan had been deposited into her account.
Seeing the string of zeros in her account balance, Zhen Lütu’s mood instantly brightened. Even the smile she gave Zhen Shumao became considerably more sincere.
“Uncle, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Take care on your way home.”
Zhen Shumao gave his niece, who had immediately started kicking him out after receiving the money, a cold snort before leaving with the contract.
She could finally start shopping like crazy!
Zhen Lütu immediately called the butler over and began making arrangements.
“Uncle Liu, I want to buy some vehicles. They need to be sturdy, preferably large enough to carry a lot of things. Most importantly, they absolutely have to be crash resistant!”
“Of course, Miss.”
Butler Liu was clearly very professional and did not question any of Zhen Lütu’s strange requests.
“Emmm… Get me a few RVs too. Several of both types of vehicles. Oh, and replace all the windows with bulletproof glass! Once you’ve bought them, put them at the most remote location you can find in one of the villas Zhen Shumao gave me in the suburbs.”
“Of course, Miss. Is there anything else you need?”
“That’s enough for now. Also, prepare a car for me. I’m going out.”
The previous night, the system had given Zhen Lütu a beginner’s gift pack. She had to admit that she was extremely lucky because she had immediately obtained a purple blind box containing an upgradeable warehouse.
Although the warehouse was only Level One for now, it already covered five hundred square meters, roughly the size of a basketball court.
According to the system, upgrading the warehouse would not only expand its storage space but also unlock additional functions. However, she would have to discover those functions herself.
Last night, Zhen Lütu thought back to the events of the novel. After being reborn, the female protagonist, Gu Rourou, had found a jade bracelet at an antique market. It was the female protagonist’s heaven defying cheat, the Jade Spring Space.
When Zhen Lütu had read the novel before, she had always been puzzled about why the female protagonist did not go to a supermarket to stock up on food after being reborn and instead went treasure hunting at an antique market.
But now she understood.
Wherever the female protagonist’s cheat was, that was where the female protagonist would go!
Zhen Lütu had originally planned to find the antique market Gu Rourou had visited and snatch the jade bracelet before she could get it. However, the system told her that even if she obtained the bracelet, she would not be able to activate the space inside it.
Zhen Lütu could only rub her forehead helplessly.
Sigh, was this the charm of being the female protagonist?
Meanwhile, Gu Rourou had just returned home from the antique market, a crystal clear bracelet in her hand.
She had only been passing by originally, but she had unexpectedly been drawn to the bracelet and found herself buying it without even realizing it.
Gu Rourou’s mother, Liu Hong, poked her head out of the kitchen.
“Rourou, you’re back. Xiaobao happens to want an apple. Help him peel one for me. I’m cooking and don’t have a free hand.”
The previous night, Gu Rourou had taken Gu Xiaobao and moved out of their rented apartment, returning to her parents’ home.
“Got it, Mom.”
Gu Rourou placed the jade bracelet on the table and picked up a fruit knife to peel an apple for Xiaobao.
Halfway through peeling it, her hand slipped, and the fruit knife cut her hand. A bead of blood dripped onto the jade bracelet sitting on the table.
In an instant, Gu Rourou found herself standing in a grassy field. When she looked up, all she saw was the blazing sun and a clear blue sky.
……
Zhen Lütu went on a shopping spree.
She had the driver take her to the largest wholesale market in the city, the kind that specifically supplied convenience stores, and she began sweeping through the inventory like crazy.
Instant noodles, biscuits, potato chips, chocolate, dried pork and all kinds of snacks and food that could fill her stomach were loaded onto truck after truck and transported to the undeveloped villas in the suburbs.
All kinds of daily necessities were transported there by the truckload as well.
Zhen Lütu even went to a large outdoor survival equipment store and bought out everything in the owner’s warehouse. On top of that, she ordered a batch of generators and solar panels.
Zhen Lütu’s shopping spree continued for five days and five nights. During that time, Butler Liu had one of the suburban villas renovated according to her requirements.
After finishing all these tasks, Butler Liu returned to his hometown with the generous advance payment he had received. Following Zhen Lütu’s instructions, he also prepared plenty of food and drinks at home.
Zhen Lütu had already moved into the suburban villa. Not only was the villa located in a remote area, but it was also extremely well hidden.
Looking at the mountain of supplies piled up in the underground warehouse, Zhen Lütu was filled with satisfaction.
Ah! This was the empire she had built with her own hands!
