You have to admit, the buffet at this five-star hotel is really good; you get what you pay for.

Wellington steak, tuna sashimi, black truffle lobster fried rice, seafood pasta, and baked lobster with cheese—Jane Ning loved every single one of them.

Not to mention the dessert after the meal. It's even more unforgettable.

After finishing her meal, Jian Ning went directly to the restaurant owner and said that she was planning to host a dinner party at home and asked if she could order all the food from his restaurant. Since she was hosting a large number of people, she ordered two thousand servings of all the dishes on the menu.

Upon hearing this, the boss realized it was a big client and agreed without hesitation. He even gave them two extra cases of Jianning liquor as a bonus.

Jian Ning ordered fifty more barbecue grills and charcoal from him. They agreed to have them delivered together in five days. The address provided was, as always, the warehouse address.

I took a taxi and went straight to the lottery center.

It was just past the start of the workday, and the lobby was deserted; there were hardly any people there. Of course, winning the lottery isn't that easy, and even fewer people actually come to the lottery center to claim their prizes.

Jian Ning took out her three winning lottery tickets and her ID card, and went to the window to claim her prize. The tax deduction was quite substantial; a 2 million yuan prize resulted in a 500,000 yuan tax deduction.

She was heartbroken that 50,000 yuan was deducted from the lottery ticket worth 250,000 yuan, which meant she missed out on buying so many supplies!

However, he was still very happy to receive the money, declined the lottery station's request for a photo, put on his hat, and left quickly. If nothing unexpected happened, the big prize in a couple of days would shock them even more, so it was best to keep a low profile.

She understood the principle of making a fortune quietly.

With money in hand, she went on a shopping spree, wanting to buy everything in sight. She walked from one end of the food street to the other, ordering thousands of servings from every shop. Not to mention KFC and McDonald's, she loved fried chicken and hamburgers too.

Since I can't cook anyway, I ordered tens of thousands of portions. I paid a deposit and agreed on a delivery time. Now I just have to wait to receive the goods.

It's important to understand that extreme weather events cause prices to rise for everything. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy what you need.

I should stock up while I can still buy them now. I walked along the roadside shops, and suddenly I saw a pharmacy. Oh right, I haven't bought any medicine yet, this won't do.

You see, in the apocalypse, even a single anti-inflammatory pill can be a lifesaver. But the price at pharmacies is too expensive for tourists. After hesitating for a moment, Jian Ning picked up the phone and found the number of her high school classmate, Liu Yan.

"Jian Ning, what brings you to my mind today? It's been so long since we last talked. How have you been lately?" The phone rang once, and the other end answered immediately. Liu Yan's voice was cheerful.

"It's alright, Yan Yan. I remember your family is in the pharmaceutical and medical device business. I'd like to get a batch of goods from you. Could you give me a wholesale price?" Jian Ning asked directly.

"Sure, we're old classmates, so it's definitely no problem. Just give me a list of what you need and send it to me on WeChat." Liu Yan readily agreed.

"Okay, I need a lot. I can give you a partial prepayment. I'll send it to you in a bit, thanks in advance."

Jian Ning hung up the phone and immediately sent her a list of medicines.

First, we ordered antibiotics: cephalosporins, amoxicillin, erythromycin, from low-grade to high-grade, from oral to injectable, 100 boxes of each.

We also need 100 boxes of external disinfectants such as iodine solution, alcohol, bandages, sterile gauze, and cotton swabs.

Disposable syringes, sterile needles and sutures, and sterile saline solution also need to be purchased, for use in preparing medications when necessary.

Dexamethasone and other glucocorticoids, as well as lidocaine and other local anesthetics.

Adrenaline, which can be life-saving in critical situations, along with various painkillers, cold medicines, cough medicines, laxatives, fever reducers, antidiarrheals, allergy medications, and medications for sprains and contusions.

Including medical devices. A total of over ten thousand words were sent.

"Wow! Jian Ning, are you opening a pharmacy or going to the front lines? Why do you need so much?"

As soon as the message was sent, Liu Yan sent back a long voice message in amazement.

"I'm buying this for a relative. He wants to open a pharmacy at home. I'll give you a 500,000 yuan advance payment. Can you buy everything?"

"I trust your abilities, sister. It'll definitely be OK, no problem. Just wait for the good news." Liu Yan accepted Jian Ning's transfer of 500,000 without any hesitation.

The next step is to stockpile large quantities of grain and meat. The ones I bought a few days ago won't last long at all; I'll have to contact the manufacturers for those.

Jian Ning took out the slaughterhouse's phone number given to her by the pork stall owner, called to order two thousand head of pork, five hundred head of beef, and one thousand head of mutton. She also added the person in charge on WeChat and paid a 10% deposit.

We called the manufacturer directly and ordered 200 tons of rice. We also ordered 200 tons of wheat flour, and 50 tons of other grains, including peanuts and soybeans.

Five hundred tons of peanut oil were also ordered. That's enough for her to eat for the rest of her life.

I had a barbecue outside in the evening, and when I got home, I ate watermelon while sitting in front of the TV, waiting for the lottery results to be announced.

This is the most agonizing time. Even though you have a 60% chance of winning, you can't be sure until the very last moment, can you?

As the host read out the numbers on each ball: 08, 09, 11, 26, 34, the winning numbers for the red balls were 02 and 07.

"I won!" Jian Ning cheered with joy, jumping up from the sofa and spinning around several times. This is 10 billion! Even in the whole country, no one has ever won such a big prize!

Unfortunately, the prize cannot be claimed now, as the lottery center is already closed. Otherwise, Jian Ning would have gone there tonight.

Overwhelmed with excitement, I got dressed, went downstairs, and ran around the neighborhood more than ten times. I worked up a sweat and was panting heavily before finally coming back and taking a hot shower.

After drying my hair and lying in bed, I took out the winning lottery ticket and checked it again and again.

The third set of lottery numbers I randomly selected was exactly the winning numbers for today, down to the last digit. It seems my lucky charm is still working really well.

No, I need to intensify my cultivation. Jian Ning sat up in bed, calming her mind and focusing her spirit. She guided the faint spiritual energy within her body to circulate throughout her entire being, quickly immersing herself in it.

I woke up the next morning. After a night of practice, I had made some progress. My mind felt much clearer than before.

I stretched my limbs, washed up, and went downstairs for breakfast: soy milk, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, and pickled vegetables. These were things I wouldn't have been able to eat during the apocalypse.

But I can't exactly buy a deep fryer for myself, can I? She's so clumsy with her hands, I don't want her to burn herself.

So he waved his hand generously and said, "Boss, fry two hundred youtiao (Chinese fried dough sticks) for me, and I'll take this bucket of soy milk and that bucket of tofu pudding, and pack all the pickled vegetables too."

"Okay, I'll pack it for you right away." This was the first time the vendor selling fried dough sticks had encountered such a big customer. Without even asking if Jian Ning could finish all that soy milk and fried dough sticks, he started packing them up right away.
