After returning home, Chu Fuyu wanted to find the belongings her parents had left behind, hoping to distract herself from the grief consuming her.
But when she picked up an antique vase in the study, her mind suddenly went blank and she fainted on the spot.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in a paradise-like world.
Everything before her was completely unfamiliar—lush green grass stretched endlessly, butterflies and bees danced through the air, a crystal-clear spring tinkled softly nearby, and there was a vast empty field with nothing planted on it.
“What is this…?”
As Chu Fuyu struggled to process what she was seeing, a mechanical voice suddenly rang in her ears.
“Ding! Welcome, Host, to the dimensional space. There are 24 hours remaining before your transmigration into your previous life. Please stockpile as many supplies as possible within the allotted time. Once the countdown ends, transmigration will begin automatically. Countdown starting now!”
???
What? What what what???
Chu Fuyu was dumbfounded.
Was this the kind of magical storage space that only appeared in novels? And transmigration? A past life?
Damn, this had every fantasy trope packed into one!
So the tinkling spring over there must be a spiritual spring?
And those three little boys she had been dreaming about these past few days… they were her children from her previous life?
So she really had been some hopeless love-struck woman like Wang Baochuan?
And she only had twenty-four hours to gather supplies?!
The flood of information was overwhelming, but surprisingly, Chu Fuyu accepted it rather quickly.
The real problem was time.
She had always been the type to panic when deadlines approached, and just thinking about how little time she had made her scalp tingle with anxiety.
After all, her previous life had been utterly miserable.
She had lived in a shabby thatched hut with almost nothing inside. The children had cried from hunger every day, all of them sallow-faced and painfully malnourished.
Yet beneath all the shock, excitement, and confusion, there was also a faint sense of joy.
No matter what, she had family again.
Those three children were her family.
Chu Fuyu had always been a woman of action. The moment she understood the situation, she immediately began planning how to stockpile supplies.
There was nothing left for her in this world anyway. Her parents were gone, and she no longer had any attachments here. Leaving this place might not be so bad.
Fortunately, her parents had left behind an enormous inheritance.
With assets worth one hundred million yuan, she could fill an entire dimension with supplies.
And according to the space’s description, anything stored inside would remain perfectly preserved forever.
So why hold back?
The only issue was deciding what to buy first and where to get it.
After doing some quick calculations, Chu Fuyu realized that with only twenty-four hours, there was no way she could place orders everywhere or run around from store to store.
She needed somewhere capable of supplying goods in bulk—hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of items at once.
Then, almost like a flash of lightning, an idea struck her.
The Chu Corporation had risen so quickly precisely because it had built massive supermarket chains throughout the city.
Those supermarkets carried the widest range of products.
Chu Xiong was a vicious man. He had murdered her parents. Taking his property now and collecting a bit of “interest” was only fair.
After making up her mind, Chu Fuyu checked the time.
It was already 9:30 PM.
The supermarkets closed at ten.
She could sneak in after closing time and sweep every last item clean.
Chu Xiong owned ten supermarkets in the area. Each one was packed with household goods, food, daily necessities, clothing, blankets, and countless other supplies.
If she emptied them all, it would be enough for a family of four to live comfortably for a lifetime. She wouldn’t even need to gather supplies anywhere else.
All she would need afterward were some extra medicines, tools, furniture, and books.
At this rate, she probably wouldn’t even manage to spend the entire hundred million.
Without wasting another second, Chu Fuyu sprang into action.
There was still half an hour before the stores closed, and fully clearing out customers would probably take at least another hour.
During that time, she rushed to every pharmacy she could find, buying medicine like a madwoman.
Anything useful that could legally be purchased, she bought in the maximum quantity available.
Not just Western medicine and prepared traditional Chinese medicine—she also stocked up on raw medicinal herbs.
Ancient medical conditions were far too primitive. Even a simple cold could kill someone.
Medicine was the highest priority.
She practically ran through every pharmacy in the city.
On the way, she passed by a jewelry store.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
In ancient times, modern currency would be useless—but gold and silver were hard currency!
Wasn’t that how it always worked in historical dramas?
Even if she couldn’t spend all one hundred million on supplies, she could convert the rest into gold and silver bars.
That way, once she arrived in ancient times, she’d practically be one of the richest people alive.
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became.
Although it was already too late tonight, she could go to the bank tomorrow morning and buy massive amounts of gold and silver bullion.
That way, even if some of her supplies became inconvenient to use or ran out, she would still have plenty of wealth to survive comfortably in ancient times.
After spending three or four hours raiding nearly every pharmacy she could find, Chu Fuyu checked the time again.
It was already one in the morning.
Most stores had long since closed, and even pharmacies were becoming harder to find except for the twenty-four-hour ones.
She decided to pause the medicine shopping and head straight for the supermarket.
This time, instead of taking a taxi, she rented a car. It would make transporting supplies much easier.
After all, she was collecting far too much stuff. She needed to transfer everything from the car into her space, and having other people around would be extremely inconvenient.
Fortunately, she knew how to drive.
When she finally parked outside one of the supermarkets, she quickly got out of the car.
At one in the morning, the streets were practically deserted.
Relieved, she walked up to the supermarket entrance and directly stored the doors into her dimensional space.
No need to pick any locks.
Although she intended to stockpile enormous amounts of supplies, Chu Fuyu only planned to fleece the Chu Corporation. For other stores and businesses, she intended to pay normally.
After entering the supermarket, she found that a few dim lights had been left on, preventing the place from being completely dark.
She looked around.
The supermarket was enormous, divided into countless sections:
rice, flour, grains, and cooking oil…
bread, snacks, and desserts…
freezers…
alcohol…
daily necessities…
mother-and-baby supplies and milk powder…
fruits and vegetables…
seafood and meat…
frozen foods…
bakery goods…
clothing, shoes, and hats…
What was she waiting for?
Like a swarm of locusts sweeping across a field, she was going to leave absolutely nothing behind!!!
For the first time in her life, she finally got to experience the thrill of a true “zero-dollar shopping spree.”
But before she started—
she casually stored all the supermarket security cameras into her space first.
