While others struggle to survive in the wasteland, Wei Lun, a modern man, enjoys fresh vegetables, an endless supply of beef and mutton, and piles of snacks.
He can freely travel back and for...
Wei Lun was overjoyed as he left the jewelry store. In the blink of an eye, he had become a rich man. He would no longer have to worry about rent or losing his income after quitting his job. Controlling the post-apocalyptic trade was like a treasure trove, except for a little danger.
On his way home, he passed by Walmart and bought a lot of bread, instant noodles, fresh vegetables, red wine, and most importantly, a self-heating hot pot, all made of beef and mutton. He wanted Qin Mutong to try some meat, since he had taken advantage of her last night, and this was a way of repaying her.
Riding his electric scooter back to the apartment complex, Wei Lun was at the gate of the courtyard when his phone suddenly rang. He looked at the screen and saw it was his landlord calling. Now that he had money, he felt much more confident.
"Hey! Kid, are you still here or not? Nobody answers when I knock on your door?" a sharp woman's voice asked rudely over the phone.
Wei Lun said slowly and deliberately, "Landlord, I'm back now, I'll pay you the rent right away!"
He roared on the phone: "You've been two months behind on my rent, and you're still going to pay me right now? You might as well get out of here, you penniless wretch, so poor you can't even afford to eat!"
Wei Lun felt a chill at this moment. He had originally intended to continue living here. He was very grateful to the landlord for giving him more time, which prevented him from ending up on the streets. However, he never expected that the landlord's true colors would eventually be revealed.
Wei Lun climbed the stairs in small steps and arrived at the door. The landlord was staring at Wei Lun with wide eyes, as if the two had some deep hatred. Wei Lun opened the door directly and said, "I'm moving out now. I owe you two months' rent, plus this month's, which is a total of two thousand eight hundred. I'll transfer it to you!"
As they spoke, Wei Lun took out his phone and made a WeChat transfer. At that moment, a clear and pleasant voice was heard: "WeChat transfer received: 2,800 yuan." The landlord was dumbfounded. Where did this kid get the money?
He immediately smiled apologetically and said, "Weilun, it's all my fault. Can you please continue to stay?"
Wei Lun chuckled and said, "No need!" There weren't many things in the room to begin with, so he quickly packed some clothes, dragged his suitcase, and walked out of the room. Wei Lun even took out his phone and deleted the landlord from his friends list.
The landlord stood alone in the hallway, her heart filled with regret...
As Wei Lun dragged his suitcase downstairs, he put it into the space of the black jade pendant. He then rode his electric bike to rent a luxury house, since he was now a small-time rich man.
Right next to this dilapidated old neighborhood, there was a very luxurious villa complex. In the past, Wei Lun had always sighed about how wonderful the lives of the rich were, while he could only look on from afar and could not get close to them. This time, he was going to muster up the courage to move into this villa complex.
Upon arriving at the marketing center, Wei Lun strode in, ready to rent an apartment, thinking he could buy one later when he had the money.
"Sir, this is the villa marketing center. We do not receive unauthorized personnel!" The salesperson standing at the door was very dismissive. Seeing Wei Lun ride over on his electric bike, he had already determined that Wei Lun was a penniless person who had come to join the fun and wanted to receive a gift.
Wei Lun said very seriously, "I'm here to rent a house, are you sure you want to turn me away?" After saying that, he walked in, leaving the salesperson chasing after him, as if he had let a fly in.
The marketing center manager heard the salesperson's commotion and came over to ask, "What's going on?"
The salesperson said with disgust, "This person who came in to collect a gift has no right to buy or rent a house!"
Wei Lun looked at the manager, who was dressed in a suit and tie, and replied very politely, "Hello, I'm here to rent a house. This salesperson has been blocking me since I walked in. Is this how you provide service?"
The manager immediately apologized and reprimanded the salesperson, then led Wei Lun to see the properties. He took out a brochure and said, "Sir, these are all properties currently for rent or sale, but the prices are indeed a bit high. Would you like to take a look?"
After opening the door, Wei Lun saw a large villa with its own entrance and yard. The first floor had three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom, and there was also a second floor. The yard was also very spacious. Wei Lun thought that he might need to buy some items in the future and would need more space, so he decisively chose this house.
The rent was 10,000 yuan a month, which was quite expensive. After Wei Lun signed the contract and paid the rent, the manager was completely different. His expression was full of utmost respect. At this moment, he treated Wei Lun as God and immediately brought a barrel of oil as a gift. However, Wei Lun refused to accept it, citing the reason that the gatekeeper had blocked him from entering.
After Wei Lun left, the poor salesman who blocked Wei Lun's way will likely be scolded and won't have a good ending.
Holding the key, Wei Lun arrived at his new villa. He didn't have time to check on its luxury; he just wanted to visit Qin Mutong as soon as possible. He took out the black jade pendant and saw that it was already at 100% energy. He then used it to travel through time and arrived in the apocalypse again.
A figure appeared on the hillside above the human settlement. Wei Lun put bread, instant noodles, some snacks, fresh vegetables, red wine, and a self-heating hot pot into his backpack, and then headed towards the settlement in the valley. Because hunters often hunted zombies around the settlement, the area around the settlement was relatively peaceful.
They soon arrived at the Qin family's tent. As soon as Qin Mutong saw Wei Lun appear, she smiled broadly and rushed up to hug him tightly. She had just asked her father, Qin Jiayou, whether their master would abandon them, but she didn't expect Wei Lun to appear at this moment.
In fact, Wei Lun had considered not coming to the apocalypse at all. After all, with his first pot of gold, he could support himself in modern times no matter what business he did, and he wouldn't have to worry about safety all the time. But when he thought of Qin Mutong's pitiful appearance, his heart softened instantly. This woman was his concern, so he came anyway.
When Qin Jiayou saw Wei Lun walk in, he quickly went outside the tent to stand guard. He knew that Qin Mutong truly liked Wei Lun and would definitely have a lot to say to him now that she saw him. In order not to disturb the two young people, he went outside to stand guard.
Qin Mutong blushed and let go of Wei Lun, as if she felt that she had been too unreserved, but she couldn't help wanting to gain some sense of security from Wei Lun.
Wei Lun smiled, flicked Qin Mutong's nose, and said, "Little girl, guess what I brought you?"
As he spoke, Wei Lun took out a self-heating hot pot, a bottle of red wine, some vegetables, and bread. Qin Mutong stared in disbelief. These were foods that were only available before the disaster, and each one was worth a fortune!
