When the countdown ended, Xiao Jin used his special ability and managed to pack up all the food he had ordered from the restaurant before the game started.

In her previous life, Xiao Jin was a space-age ability user, and unexpectedly, she brought her abilities with her in this rebirth. As the survival game countdown began, she attempted to activate her abilities.

The tentacles of the spirit extended into the space of consciousness, and when they reached a certain place deep within, a small, transparent crystal revealed itself, shimmering with a faint light.

this……

Xiao Jin smiled bitterly. Even though she had been mentally prepared, she hadn't expected her special ability core to be damaged to this extent.

Not only was it dozens of times smaller in size, but its light was also much dimmer, it was covered in cracks, and its energy was pitifully little.

It should be noted that ten years after the apocalypse, Xiao Jin's superpower had advanced to level eight, making him the number one at the time. But now, he has returned to square one. Forget about spatial teleportation and spatial slashing, his superpower is reduced to the most basic storage ability.

The space isn't large, only about twenty square meters!

Pushing the shopping cart, Xiao Jin lowered her eyes. Even a mosquito bite is better than nothing; her superpowers would return sooner or later.

Water is essential, so Xiao Jin grabbed six buckets of water and put them in the shopping cart. Each bucket contained twelve bottles, which would be more than enough for seven days of drinking.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ So cheap." Xiao Jin glanced at the tag below.

A single tub of water costs over ten yuan, something she wouldn't have dared to even dream of in her previous life.

Food was whatever was convenient. Xiao Jin couldn't possibly cook, so she ate biscuits, milk, bread, instant noodles, self-heating rice, self-heating hot pot, a few cans of luncheon meat, vacuum-packed chicken and duck legs, and chocolate to replenish her energy.

Since we can't find any leafy greens for the time being, we'll use large tomatoes and cucumbers instead. The ingredients in the supermarket are quite fresh; the large tomatoes are bright red and look very juicy. We'll also need to buy some fruit.

Apples, pears, oranges, and watermelons—we ordered a little of everything. When we checked out, the total came to nearly five hundred yuan.

It's worth mentioning that a small incident occurred while queuing at the cashier.

Xiao Jin pushed two large shopping carts full of goods to queue up, and then noticed that there were several other people in the queue who were just as conspicuous as herself.

It's not a holiday, so few people stock up on this much food. Therefore, the group noticed each other immediately in the queue.

They exchanged a glance. Hmm! That's right, they must all be players.

Some people seemed a bit excited, pushing their carts and trying to talk to other players, but Xiao Jin wasn't interested. With a "keep away" expression, she pushed her cart, ignoring the puzzled looks on the other people's faces, paid, and left.

"Tch..." Naive! Xiao Jin half-closed her eyes.

With her shopping cart in hand, Xiao Jin took the elevator to the underground parking lot, found a corner out of sight of the security cameras, and stored all the items from the car into her storage space.

After that, she went to the pharmacy and bought gauze, iodine, disinfectant alcohol, and Yunnan Baiyao, a miracle drug for external injuries. She also prepared some medicated oil for treating sprains and bruises, cold medicine, fever reducers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and medicine for treating diarrhea.

Thinking about going up the mountain later, Xiao Jin bought some insect repellent powder, insecticide, and ointment from the pharmacy owner.

Xiao Jin didn't realize it until she paid the bill that the medicine in those two small plastic bags was almost half the amount of food in her two large carts.

No matter the time, pharmaceutical profits are always the highest.

Xiao Jin touched her wallet, feeling a pang of heartache, but compared to the money, who knows when these medicines might save her life!

After putting the medicine away, Xiao Jin arrived at her final stop – an outdoor equipment store.

She doesn't know what the situation is at the hotel yet, so she needs to prepare for staying overnight away from home. She needs to buy things like tents in advance. She also needs sleeping bags, flashlights, camping lights, multi-tools, windproof lighters, portable gas stoves, air mattresses, and sleeping mats.

To prepare for the impending downpour, we need to buy raincoats, rain boots, kayaks, life jackets, diving suits, and oxygen tanks.

After seeing the prices of these items, Xiao Jin didn't even turn his head; he simply turned around and left the outdoor equipment store.

Sorry to bother you! I can't afford it.

She only had 723 yuan left.

The store she just went into had a basic tent that cost three or four hundred yuan. If she bought the tent, she wouldn't be able to afford the rest of the equipment. She might as well think about how to make some money.

After a whole afternoon of running around, Xiao Jin had left her coat at the hotel when she went out to buy supplies, and was only wearing a light short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Compared to the midday temperature, it was much cooler outside now. With the money in her pocket, Xiao Jin simply went to a shop on the street to buy some spare clothes, as wearing the original owner's clothes always felt strange.

Afterwards, they found a restaurant that wasn't crowded and ate something to fill their stomachs. Xiao Jin also packed up a lot of the prepared food and stuffed it into her spatial storage.

Sigh! This is a post-apocalyptic syndrome of hers; she wants to hoard food whenever she sees it.

Xiao Jin took a taxi back to the hotel, took a shower to wash away the stickiness all over her body, and sent her newly bought clothes to the hotel to be dried and cleaned. Just as Xiao Jin finished showering, the clothes were returned by the hotel staff.

After changing into new clothes, Xiao Jin took the only hundred yuan she had left in her pocket and hailed a taxi straight to the most popular bar street in the city center, as the driver had described.

Hearing the commotion from afar, Xiao Jin got out of the car and walked towards the brightly lit area ahead. Along the way, she was surrounded by young men and women. The girls were dressed in hot and sexy clothes, and the men were all dressed neatly and smartly.

They seemed somewhat reserved when they were outside, but here, their hormones exploded, and there were countless couples walking hand in hand on the street.

Nightlife has officially begun.

Xiao Jin was quite beautiful, and with her unique temperament, she attracted the attention of many women as soon as she entered the place.

Some girls shyly glanced at Xiao Jin, their hands tightly gripping their best friends' arms, and even taking out their phones to try and capture Xiao Jin's appearance, since such a stunning beauty was a rare sight indeed!

Some were even bolder, blowing kisses directly at Xiao Jin, but unfortunately their kisses were destined to be wasted on this heartless dog.

Xiao Jin didn't even glance at one of them. She walked back and forth along the entire bar street twice before finally deciding on her target and stopping in front of a bar that looked unremarkable and didn't have many people.

Although the bar looked rather unassuming, a tall man was sitting at the entrance. When the man saw Xiao Jin lingering in front of the bar for a long time, he became somewhat wary.

Damn! How come something always happens as soon as I'm on duty? Could it be the cops or a rival gang coming to cause trouble?

The man stood up and stared at Xiao Jin, his hand gripping a strangely shaped communicator out of Xiao Jin's sight, his face menacing as he glared at her.
