The arrival of the police somewhat affected Zuo Ling's mood.

After collecting the large vats, I drove aimlessly through the streets.

Seeing Tao Heung, I went in and stocked up on dozens more boxes of pastries. Passing by a pastry shop, I bought some cream cakes.

Bubble tea, taro ball milk tea, coconut jelly milk tea, 200 servings of each.

A sip of bubble tea, warm and comforting, finally soothed Zuo Ling's mood.

Biting into the chewy pearl meatballs, I realized how wonderful it is to live in the moment!

A quick glance at the nearby An Shopping Mall gave Zuo Ling a new place to go.

Upon arriving at the lobby on the first floor, I counted a total of 10 high-end cosmetics stores, lined up one after another.

Gift-boxed cosmetics range in price from two or three thousand, four or five thousand, seven or eight thousand, to over ten thousand.

Zuo Ling wasn't blinded by the numbers on her bank card; she chose items around 5,000 yuan each, and ordered 10 sets of each.

If it costs over 10,000, get a few sets to experience what it feels like to apply high-end cosmetics to your face.

I also bought 200 face masks of varying quality from each store, which cost me a total of 1 million.

For Zuo Ling, such spending was a very extravagant thing.

Normally, she would buy a couple hundred yuan worth of snacks at the supermarket to fool herself.

Even so, the sales staff at the cosmetics store were all pleasantly surprised.

She wished she could smear honey on her lips and be as sweet as sisters with Zuo Lingdao.

She reminisced about how she had endured the pain of buying a bottle of skincare cream for several hundred yuan at a counter in a certain shopping mall back then.

It worked well, but when I went to buy it again, the cosmetics store had already closed down.

After asking around, a haughty salesperson raised her chin and said:

"Go check the supermarket downstairs, they don't have it here."

Zuo Ling then realized that buying cosmetics in a shopping mall versus buying them in a supermarket was a class divide.

Money! It's such a damn good thing.

Zuo Ling lifted it onto the car while simultaneously stuffing it into the storage space.

The sales clerk was stunned by Zuo Ling's extravagant spending.

No one noticed how her Tank 500 managed to fit over 100 sets of cosmetic boxes inside.

Satisfied, I left the An Shopping Mall and once again thanked the Ding family for their generous gift.

The money she received from her ex-husband was not enough to support her extravagant spending.

It was almost lunchtime, and Zuo Ling wandered around until she arrived at the Sichuan restaurant where she used to eat.

The restaurant was small, hidden in a small alley, and sold a very limited selection of food.

Zuo Ling's favorite food is the sausage rice bowl from his restaurant.

The sausages were brought from Sichuan by the shop owner, and they taste much more authentic than those from Kyoto.

A serving costs 28 yuan, with plenty of sausage and other ingredients.

Zuo Ling ordered a sausage rice bowl to eat in the restaurant. She asked the clerk, "I'd like to order another hundred sausage rice bowls. Can you make them?"

The shop wasn't big, and Zuo Ling was worried that they hadn't prepared enough materials.

The staff went to ask the kitchen and replied, "We don't have that many left, only 60 servings."

"Let's have 60 servings. I'd like to order another 500 servings of Chinese sausage rice bowl and 300 servings of green pepper and pork intestine rice bowl for tomorrow. We'll pick them up around this time, is that okay?"

The staff went to ask the kitchen again and didn't return for quite a while.

"Yes, but you need to pay a deposit first."

The small shop rarely accepts such a large order, and the kitchen staff spent a long time calculating it.

"Okay, no problem."

After finishing her beloved sausage rice bowl, Zuo Ling scanned the code to pay, carried 60 packaged lunch boxes back to her car, and continued her street sweeping.

"Donkey meat sandwiches and donkey meat soup, 100 servings, to go."

"I'd like 50 servings each of cold skin noodles and beef tendon noodles, to go."

"I'd like 50 servings each of spicy crayfish and salt and pepper shrimp, to go."

"Braised pork rice bowl, 100 servings, to go."

"100 servings of beef knife-cut noodles, to go."

"100 servings each of beef rice noodles and pork intestine rice noodles, to be taken away."

All of these were dishes that Zuo Ling had eaten before, and they tasted excellent.

Almost all the shops are either hidden in narrow alleys or in bad locations, not on the street.

After wandering around for a long time, the moon rose above the willow branches.

Zuo Ling wasn't quite done exploring, but she couldn't continue; the shops were closing.

I found a chain hotel next to Rong Department Store and stayed there nearby, so it would be convenient for my shopping spree tomorrow.

Feeling hungry again, I ate a bowl of beef rice noodles and let out a satisfied burp.

Touching my belly, several days had passed, and I suddenly wanted to try to absorb the energy crystal again.

The cyan and orange energy crystals have been absorbed, leaving 5 yellow crystals.

I hesitated a bit; I still can't bear to think back to the painful experience of absorbing yellow crystals last time.

Grit your teeth, there's no such thing as a good life without going through trials and tribulations, let's give it our all!

After closing his eyes and regulating his breathing to bring his body to its optimal state, he took out a yellow energy crystal.

The energy rushed in like a sharp knife, and the pain spread throughout my body like electricity.

With a muffled groan, Zuo Ling gritted her teeth and persevered.

The meridians, which had been overfed, seemed unable to withstand the excessive energy, and fine cracks reappeared.

Controlling the speed at which energy enters her body, Zuo Ling slowly guided the energy forward, bit by bit.

His skin was burning hot, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

It wasn't as bad as last time, but it wasn't pleasant either.

Zuo Ling gritted her teeth and endured it, carefully experiencing the subtle changes in her body.

From darkness to dawn, the light from outside the window gradually penetrated the gloom inside the room until the sky was bright.

Opening her eyes, Zuo Ling let out a long breath.

Although I hadn't slept all night, I wasn't sleepy at all; in fact, I was full of energy and had inexhaustible strength.

Consciousness penetrated the space, which was the size of four football fields.

The puddle didn't grow much, only about 10 square meters, but it doubled in depth.

The land area has increased to 150 square meters, but the soil quality has not improved.
