Chapter 192 So Extravagant

Meng Shiwan took it to the pet supplies area, and Taxue was like a mouse in a rice bin. It wanted this toy, that bed, and pet blankets, and put them all into the shopping cart.

Meng Shiwan observed its behavior from the side. Ta Xue was no longer a clueless animal, but a cute little child with very logical behavior and thoughts.

To put it simply, Ta Xue has become smarter.

The mall is divided into two areas: a food area and a non-food area.

The food in the food section is basically all packaged food that has been scavenged from outside.

Several security guards, armed, patrolled back and forth in the food section.

With food shortages and many people going hungry, they're capable of anything. Only guns can deter them.

In addition, the non-food section mainly sells various daily necessities, and there aren't many people browsing there.

Nowadays, people accumulate points and use them to buy food to try and fill their stomachs; they're unwilling to use them to buy unnecessary daily necessities.

The area where pet supplies were stored was deserted, except for Meng Shiwan pushing a shopping cart and Ta Xue busily selecting various toys.

There's no pet food or canned food either; those items are currently placed in the food section.

Some people buy it to eat themselves, and it's much cheaper than other meat products.

Ta Xue carried toys, food bowls, and other items into the shopping cart one by one, and soon the extra-large shopping cart was full.

Ta Xue had a huge bamboo-shaped doll in its mouth, staring at the overflowing shopping cart and wagging its tail at Meng Shiwan.

Meng Shiwan smiled and said, "Let's go pay the bill first, and then come back to continue shopping later."

Ta Xue, carrying a bamboo doll in her mouth, skipped and hopped ahead to pay the bill.

As she walked to the counter, Ta Xue tossed her head and flung the bamboo doll onto the counter, startling the cashier.

The cashier peeked out and saw an oversized, fluffy Snowball standing outside the counter, staring at her and wagging its tail.

The cashier was so charmed by it that she quickly scanned the item and paid, saying, "This plush toy is worth two points."

As she was speaking, she saw Meng Shiwan coming from behind and placing items one by one on the counter.

Dolls, small blankets, big beds, pet food bowls, toys, a whole bunch of them.

The cashier asked in surprise, "Do you want to buy all of these?"

She has been working here for a month. Most people come here to buy food; very few buy daily necessities.

The pile of pet supplies at the very back hasn't sold a single one this month.

People these days can barely support themselves, let alone keep pets and buy them things.

The wealthy people living in the villa area seem to have pets, but they don't come here to buy things.

Seeing someone buy such a huge amount of useless stuff, I wonder how many points they must have to dare to squander them like that.

Meng Shiwan nodded, "Yes, I want them all."

The cashier quickly scanned the receipt and said, "Total 350 points."

Since these pet supplies are not very useful, the price was set very cheaply, and the entire shopping cart only cost a little over 300 points.

With over 10,000 points, Meng Shiwan could buy so many things!

She opened the points app, paid out her points, and then stored everything on the counter into her personal storage space.

The cashier was taken aback, then looked at Meng Shiwan with envy.

No wonder he's so extravagant when buying things for his pets; turns out he's a spatial ability user.

The cashier was looking on with envy when she heard Meng Shiwan say even more arrogantly, "Ta Xue, keep buying. If all else fails, empty the entire pet supplies section. We have plenty of points."

With those 10,000+ points, she could buy a whole bunch of things.

Cashier: !!!

She knew that people with superpowers were very powerful and had a much easier time finding supplies outside than ordinary people, especially those with spatial abilities, who could transport supplies even more easily.

Even the most capable people risk their lives to search for supplies outside and exchange them for points inside the base.

Every point is precious.

She works as a cashier and only earns ten points a day.

As a result, this person wasted such precious points on that pile of useless junk?

This pet is being treated way too well!

Meng Shiwan pushed two shopping carts this time, and the cashier couldn't help but say to Meng Shiwan, "Um... Sister, do you need a pet? How about me? I can dance and sing, and I can also perform talents."

Meng Shiwan: ...

Ta Xue: ...

Are pet owners all so demanding these days? Are people even scrambling to get jobs?

Unfortunately, it has a long-standing bond with its owner, and no one can take that away from it, hmph!

Ta Xue proudly raised its head and wagged its tail, walking beside Meng Shiwan to assert its dominance.

Ta Xue thought to herself, "This person is its human, and he really has no sense of propriety. If he had said he wanted to be its pet, it might have considered it."

"Oh? Captain, you're here to buy things too?"

Meng Shiwan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Su Su greeting her.

Accompanying Su Su were her family and Qiu Zhiyi and his family. There were a few unfamiliar faces that Meng Shiwan had never seen before; they were probably their relatives and friends.

Su Su's mother, Luo Mei, exclaimed, "Captain, is this... is this snow-covered snow? How did it swell up like this?"

Su Jianzhong was also dumbfounded, "Ta Xue, is it really a cat? How come it's so big?"

The last time they saw him, he was still being held in Meng Shiwan's arms. This time, however, he looked like a tiger, which gave them quite a fright.

Meng Shiwan greeted them, "Yeah, I'm taking Taxue to buy some things."

Su Su waved her hand, "Okay, let's buy supplies too."

Meng Shiwan nodded and led Taxue toward the pet supplies section.

Luo Mei pulled Su Su along, "Come on, let's go to the food area and buy some food. There are so many people eating at the new base, we can never have too much food."

Su Su didn't go, "but the captain said before that we shouldn't buy food."

Luo Mei clapped her hands, "Oh, you young people don't understand. Stockpiling food is never a bad thing, no matter when."

This nation, even in times of peace and prosperity, likes to hoard food at home, let alone now.

Qiu Zhiyi explained, "It's true that we should stockpile food, but if we're following the team leader, we really don't need to. We need to buy pots, pans, paper towels, clothes, and other daily necessities. You guys go buy these things, and Su Su and I will see if we have any farm tools. We need to buy more of them."

There are farms where crops can be grown and wood-type ability users exist, so there's an endless supply of food.

On the contrary, these various supplies that need to be processed are essential for the newly established base.

Because the production line cannot be restored in a short period of time, these products cannot be processed.

Su Jianzhong pulled Luo Mei aside and said, "Listen to the children. They know more than we do. They're always with the team leader and know the situation better than we do. You can't go wrong with what the children say."

Luo Mei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. I'll buy whatever you say."

A group of people, each pushing two shopping carts, walked towards the non-food section.

The cashier was completely stunned.

Why are so many people buying daily necessities and pet supplies that didn't sell well in the past?

Where did all these people make their fortune?
