Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
In the end, Su Tao was forced by him to buy something similar to a bulletproof vest.
The material is very special and cannot be scratched by ordinary sharp objects. It has a certain toughness and is a bit like a non-Newtonian fluid. It will become harder after being hit hard.
"Wearing this piece of clothing is equivalent to possessing the 'Stone Skin' ability. As long as you don't encounter an explosion or a fatal blow from an evolved zombie, you'll basically be fine. And we're having a special promotion recently. The last piece is only 120,000 Federation Coins plus 10,000 Contribution Points."
Su Tao wanted to take off her clothes immediately.
Shi Zijin held her down with one hand and used the communicator with the other to pay the bill.
In the end, he simply carried her out of the arms trading center.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Su Tao felt that her whole body and mind had been baptized and corrupted by money.
She asked Shi Zijin: "Do you still have money?"
Zi Jin kept his eyes fixed on the car while driving: "It's not yet to the point where I need you to support me, so stop worrying about it."
Su Tao was very worried as she pinched her "new clothes":
"I spent a lot of contribution points. What if you're missing limbs next time? What if I don't have the contribution points to treat you?"
Shi Zijin was speechless: "Can you hope for me to be well?"
"What if I don't save you? Will you really be disabled?"
Shi Zijin said perfunctorily: "When he becomes disabled, he will go to Taoyang to retire, and you can serve him by his bedside."
Su Tao really thought about it and said, "It's not impossible. Don't worry, I won't kick you out just because you can't pay the rent."
Shi Zijin stepped on the accelerator to the floor.
The next day, Su Tao began to accept Teacher Shi's devilish training.
I was taken to the shooting range at 7:30 in the morning and started practicing from the most basic gun holding and standing posture.
Su Tao almost crawled back home at the end of the morning, had a quick lunch, and then worked with Zhuang Wan for another hour to finalize the tenant for the one-bedroom apartment in Room 002.
Zhuang Wan was particularly pleased with the new tenants: "The couple are both educated people who deal with information codes. The man, in particular, was a university professor before the apocalypse."
Su Tao cheered up: "That's really good, let's arrange for check-in as soon as possible."
If she paid the rent early, there would only be a few thousand yuan left in her account, and she was very poor.
After finishing the work, Su Tao hurried back to the room to feed the furry child.
As a result, Heizhima somehow dug out her four evolved zombie crystal cores and rolled them on the ground like toys.
Su Tao quickly put them all away, picked it up and taught it a lesson:
"This is very valuable, not a toy. Don't play with it casually next time, okay?"
Heizhima meowed, tilted his head, and his eyes occasionally flashed with strange light.
Su Tao didn't pay much attention. She found a box, put the four crystal cores in it, pressed it down with a heavy object, and hid it back in the closet.
After resting for about half an hour, Teacher Shi called her again and asked her to go to the training ground.
Su Taosheng got up dejectedly and asked Guan Zining to take her there again.
On the way, Guan Zining looked at her suffering little face and felt a little distressed. He couldn't help but say:
"You still want to go on the mission like this? Taoyang is well-behaved. What's wrong with that? Why do you have to put yourself through this?"
Having said that, Guan Zining still threw something to her.
Su Tao opened it listlessly and found that it was actually a tube of ointment.
"You're definitely going to get blisters when you go back. This is so effective, I can't bear to use it myself, so I'm giving it to you."
Su Tao put it away without hesitation and said to her with a smile:
"Good Zining, next time Grandma Cen sends me something delicious, I'll give you half."
Guan Zining snorted, but didn't refuse.
Su Tao's training didn't end until ten o'clock in the evening.
The moment Shi Zijin called for a stop, she lay sprawled out on the training ground, looking completely disfigured.
Shi Zijin tried to pull her up, but she refused to get up. "Let me lie down for a while. My feet are numb, and my shoulders feel like they're not mine. I wonder if my wrist is broken too? I'm useless."
"Get up, I'll carry you."
Su Tao's feet and legs immediately stopped feeling numb and painful. She jumped up and climbed onto his back: "Let's go."
This scene really made everyone on the training ground drop their jaws.
What was even more shocking was that their Major General Shi didn't even bother to kick the man out, but instead carried him into the car.
Su Tao returned to her room and found that the children had fallen asleep before she could feed them.
She woke up in the morning feeling sore all over. Xue Dao seemed to know that she was exhausted, so he and the kittens lay side by side in the pet room, quietly waiting for her without making any noise or making any noise.
Su Tao felt so distressed when she saw this that she quickly prepared the meal and even cut some meat to mix with the rice.
After two days of high-intensity training, we finally had a rest day.
The new tenant of the two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment No. 002 also moved in successfully. The rent of 80,000 federal coins received by Su Tao allowed her to recover more than half of her losses.
That night, Su Tao expanded and renovated two more two-bedroom, one-living-room houses and built apartment building No. 3.
Apartment Building No. 3 is connected to Apartment Building No. 2, and there is a small terrace in the middle with tables, chairs and benches for afternoon tea and chatting downstairs.
Building No. 3 has no lobby. On the first floor, you will see Unit 001, which has two bedrooms and a living room. Only two households can live on one floor. Currently, there are four units with two bedrooms and a living room, so only two floors can be built.
After completing the above construction, Su Tao only had more than 10,000 federal coins left in his pocket.
Before going to training the next day, she urged Zhuang Wan to rent out the two newly built houses as soon as possible.
Because she planned to save some money before traveling, one is to buy enough supplies on the road, and the other is to prepare for emergencies.
God knows whether you need to spend money to complete the hidden tasks, so it’s better to keep some money to feel more at ease.
Su Tao trained intensively for three days and rested for one day for half a month, and finally saw some results.
When she knocked down the last target accurately, Shi Zijin was very pleased and gave her affirmation:
"My firearms skills have basically reached the required standard. I'm learning faster than I thought."
Su Tao was a little dazed. She looked at her scarred hands and took a deep breath. It turned out that she could do it too.
In the beginning, I couldn’t even aim at a target at ten meters, but now I can aim at a target at two hundred meters without any problem.
"Go back and have a good rest. Changjing's first batch of crystal energy weapons has arrived. Come with me to pick them up tomorrow afternoon."
Su Tao didn't expect it to be so fast, and asked:
"Is that a pistol, too?"
After all, this is the only weapon she knows at the moment.
Shi Zijin nodded: "Yes, but it is much more useful than the one you are practicing with now. It does not require bullets and has almost no recoil. Most importantly, it is extremely lethal to evolved zombies."
Su Tao couldn't help but look forward to it.
As soon as she returned to Taoyang in the evening, Su Tao received a huge sum of 400,000 yuan in rent. She was so happy that fireworks were set off in her heart, and all her fatigue and aches disappeared.
However, the sales lady Zhuang Wan was exhausted:
"I just rented out one unit on the 17th of this month, and you offered two more on the 18th. I finally rented them all out, and on the 24th you sold five more. I was really stuck trying to rent them all out by the end of the month. Lately, everyone's been going crazy, saying Taoyang is going to expand massively and is looking for tenants. My inbox is overflowing with requests, and I'm really overwhelmed."
Su Tao thought for a moment and said, "You've been really busy lately. How about recruiting Rongrong to come over to you? I'm going out soon, and the number of tenants is almost over a hundred. It's time to recruit some staff for you."
