Lu Sheng never imagined that she, a female college graduate who was unemployed after graduation, would actually have to clock in and out of work in a post-apocalyptic system...
Fortunately, the system also has a human touch. As long as Lu Sheng unlocks all the built-in achievements and processes, he can relax and enjoy all the system's functions at will.
This can be considered a way of getting through to retirement.
[Ding—Reminder to the host to complete daily check-in.]
Lu Sheng paused for a moment, then tried clicking the sign-in button.
[Congratulations, host, on completing your first check-in and receiving a random reward: the base's water and electricity system.]
Did her space get running water and electricity?
Lu Sheng immediately used his consciousness to check, and sure enough, the farmhouse in the space was lit up with warm lights, and the room had been equipped with facilities such as a washing sink.
She immediately turned on the tap, and a torrent of water gushed out, splashing Lu Sheng all over.
Lu Sheng cupped the water in her hands, almost bursting into tears of joy.
Clean water is the scarcest resource in the apocalypse. With almost all natural water sources polluted, only powerful bases have water-based ability users who can produce small amounts of pure water.
People like her and Sun Tiantian, who have no special abilities, can only endure the stench and decay of the environment and use makeshift equipment to filter dirty water in the wild to survive.
During the most difficult times, people even saved their urine to stay alive.
Even if Lu Sheng hadn't died at the hands of Su Zicheng and Bai Shuangshuang, he might not have lived for many more years.
The toxins in the dirty water had already invaded her internal organs, and she didn't know when they would corrode her into a pile of rotten flesh.
Lu Sheng splashed his face with cold water from the space to calm himself down.
She didn't have much time left, and space wasn't a panacea; she needed to plan and stockpile supplies immediately.
Lu Sheng quickly took stock of all his assets.
She still has 20,000 yuan in her bank account. Apart from Zhuangzhuang, who recently had a cosmetic surgery upgrade, all that belongs to her is this old, dilapidated house.
With only ten days left until the apocalypse, it's definitely too late to sell the house now.
Not to mention that it would take at least a month to complete the procedures, the housing market is sluggish right now, everyone is holding onto their money tightly, and there are not many fools who would buy her old house.
After a moment's thought, Lu Sheng opened his phone and downloaded every single loan app on the market at lightning speed. Before his credit report was ruined, he borrowed from every platform he could find.
Anyway, the apocalypse is in ten days, so no one will come to collect the debt.
With a house as proof of eligibility, loans were disbursed quickly on various apps. After a series of operations, Lu Sheng's account was successfully increased by 300,000 yuan.
Didi.
Just then, the bank card received a notification of a deposit.
Su Zicheng's 520,000 yuan has arrived.
"If you dare to leak even a little bit, don't blame me for being impolite." Su Zicheng's threatening message followed closely behind.
Lu Sheng rolled her eyes and casually deleted Su Zicheng's WeChat account.
In another month or two, people all over the world will be without electricity. Which team will have time to care who Su Zicheng is?
After selling Su Zicheng's computer and clothes to a local buyer on Xiaohuangyu at half price, Lu Sheng had a total of 850,000 yuan in savings.
Lu Sheng searched on Baidu for all the extreme phenomena that might occur after the apocalypse, made a long list, and then went to bed early with Zhuangzhuang in his arms.
The next morning, Lu Sheng left home before dawn, rented a truck, and headed straight for the wholesale market on the outskirts of the city.
In the apocalypse, food is the most important thing. Lu Sheng has a limited budget, and supermarket prices are too high, so she needs to find affordable places to stock up.
Rice and flour are the most important sources of carbohydrates, so Lu Sheng bought two thousand bags of each, each weighing ten kilograms.
Seeing that Lu Sheng, a young girl, was buying such a large quantity of goods, the rice and flour shop owner couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Young lady, rice and flour will get infested with bugs if left for too long. How are you going to store so much?"
Lu Sheng had already prepared her explanation: "I started a group buying group in the neighborhood. Recently, there have been rumors that the prices of rice, flour, and cooking oil are going to go up, and the elderly people have asked me to help them stock up."
"Do many people in your community participate in group buying? If the purchase volume is always this large, we can cooperate long-term!" Upon hearing that he was a major group buying customer, the boss immediately became enthusiastic.
Lu Sheng smiled sweetly and nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Big, big, big, lots, lots, lots, lots. The purchasing power of the elderly is very strong. As long as the boss offers good prices, the sales will definitely be great."
"Then...then I'll give you a 2% discount, just to make a little extra money for your trouble!"
The boss was intimidated by Lu Sheng and even offered a discount in order to get in touch with Lu Sheng, a major group-buying customer.
Having tasted success, Lu Sheng repeated the same method, purchasing several thousand kilograms of various beans, millet, and glutinous rice from the wholesale market.
To retain Lu Sheng as a major customer, the wholesalers not only offered discounts but also gave away many free gifts.
Lu Sheng was also happy to see that he had a wider variety of items in his inventory. The days ahead were long, and he would eventually get tired of eating rice and steamed buns every day.
She's had enough of the suffering of the apocalypse; this time, she's going to make the most of the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
After leaving the rice shop, Lu Sheng went straight to the grain and oil shop and bought 500 barrels each of soybean oil, peanut oil, corn oil, etc.
Lu Sheng's order was too large, and the boss couldn't prepare that much stock at once, so they agreed to have it delivered to the address Lu Sheng provided before noon the next day.
She took advantage of this time to contact the property management of the community and rent a large, abandoned warehouse.
After buying the grains and oil, it was already noon. The extreme weather was beginning to show, with the scorching sun baking the asphalt roads until they sizzled and oozed oil.
Lu Sheng was covered in sweat and went into a milk tea shop on the street to buy a large cup of fruit tea.
In the past, to save money when buying things for Su Zicheng, Lu Sheng would only buy a bottle of iced mineral water for one yuan, no matter how hot it was. She had never drunk this kind of fruit tea that cost twenty yuan a cup.
Sun Tiantian knew Lu Sheng was frugal, so she would often bring her a cup of sweet drinks. But she didn't want to appear embarrassed in front of her best friend, so she would always make excuses, saying that she didn't like sweet drinks.
The sweet fruit flavor mixed with the clear tea soup slid down Lu Sheng's throat, instantly dispelling most of the heat and dryness in his body.
Lu Sheng put a piece of crushed ice in her mouth, crunching it as she opened her umbrella and walked to the candy wholesale store on the street.
"Boss, do you have white sugar cubes and rock sugar?"
Lu Sheng glanced around the store as she entered, but it was full of refined candies like fruit candies, milk candies, and chocolates, which weren't what she was looking for.
"We have rock sugar, but not many people are buying white sugar cubes these days, so we don't have much stock."
The boss came out holding a handheld electric fan, wiping his sweat as he greeted Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng picked up a piece of rock candy and tasted it. The quality was not bad. "I'll pay more. Five hundred catties each of white sugar blocks and rock candy."
"Yes, yes, yes! If you say you'll pay more, I won't be sleepy anymore." The boss immediately perked up, took out his phone, and made a business call.
Nothing in this world is difficult if you're willing to pay more.
This is a profound understanding that Lu Sheng has gained from working part-time for many years.
After contacting the supplier, the shop owner struck up a conversation with Lu Sheng in a friendly manner, "Little sister, nobody buys these sugar cubes anymore. Why are you buying so much of this stuff at your age?"
