Sure enough, they gave us half a day to prepare.
The rain probably caught many people off guard. With two thousand yuan, Xiao Jin didn't know how much supplies other players could prepare, but she knew that this was definitely far from enough.
I'm still far from having the equipment I need, and judging by the rain, it seems unlikely that I'll be able to gather the necessary supplies in a short time unless someone helps me.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jin looked at Chen Kai.
That's right, she had her eye on Chen Kai's influence. Chen Kai was rich, and as someone in the gray area, he must have connections with people who could buy scarce resources. Wasn't that much more convenient than her buying them little by little?
"I'll trade you some supplies for a piece of information."
"Huh? News...?" Chen Kai was stunned for a moment. So they were talking about the competition after all.
Xiao Jin glanced at the staff around her, then fixed her gaze on Chen Kai without moving.
Chen Kai's lips twitched slightly: "Ahem, um... you guys go out first."
The staff bowed to Chen Kai and then filed out.
Chen Kai lost interest in signing her, and he waved his hand listlessly at Xiao Jin: "Speak, what news?"
"From now on, the torrential rain will not stop. The entire D City and even the entire world will suffer from the damage caused by the torrential rain. The natural disaster has already begun!" Without thinking, Xiao Jin directly revealed the details of the natural disaster.
Of course, there was no need to reveal anything about the players to Chen Kai, as the system strictly forbade revealing anything about the survival game to the natives.
Chen Kai: "..."
"Pfft! No..." Chen Kai quickly covered his mouth: "I'm not making fun of you, it's just raining, aren't you being a little too nervous?"
Chen Kai was both amused and exasperated.
They really are like children, saying whatever comes to mind, including things like torrential rain and natural disasters.
Seeing that Chen Kai was suppressing his laughter, Xiao Jin was not annoyed. She continued to tell Chen Kai, "Whether you believe it or not, I have already told you the news. My conditions are very simple. Help me prepare some small supplies, preferably within three hours. I will give you the money, just use that card."
Chen Kai's smile froze: "No way! You're exchanging all 600,000 for supplies? And now?"
Chen Kai hurriedly said, "Listen to me, although the weather forecast says it will rain for the next few days, D City's drainage system is not to be underestimated. Even if the rain is heavy, it will only flood one floor at most, and it won't affect our lives."
"Hey! Hey? Don't..."
Xiao Jin ignored Chen Kai's questions. Since she had already given the information, she simply took the paper with the contract printed on it from Chen Kai's hand and the pen, and turned the paper over.
Afterwards, Xiao Jin wrote down all the supplies she needed on a piece of paper, filling a whole page with dense writing.
*Smack!*
The paper was slapped onto Chen Kai.
Xiao Jin: That's all.
"Huh?" Chen Kai hurriedly flipped the paper over to take a look.
Goodness, no wonder it took me so much trouble. If I didn't have some connections, I really couldn't have gathered all these things in three hours.
Raincoats, protective suits, waterproof clothing, rain boots, rubber boats, life jackets, swimming rings, and even diving suits and oxygen tanks—these are all for protection against heavy rain.
In addition to these, there was also equipment for wilderness survival. Xiao Jin also wrote down the tents and other things she hadn't bought before.
Since it's a rainstorm, we also need to pay attention to the problem of hypothermia. We need to prepare cotton blankets, thick coats, electric blankets, hand warmers, rechargeable hot water bottles, iron basins, charcoal, small diesel generators, and fuel.
Since it was determined to be a rainstorm, it was only natural for Xiao Jin to buy these things. But what were the other items?
Cooked smoked meat, rice, sushi, steamed buns?
Peking duck, cold-served rabbit, crab in tomato sauce, fish head with chopped chili, hot pot and maocai... a whole string of Chinese delicacies, followed by a lot of cakes, fried chicken, milk tea, and steak. Is this guy ordering so many dishes to throw a banquet?!
etc?
Chen Kai suddenly blinked, and then his mouth twitched violently as he looked at the markings on the back.
Chen Kai didn't think Xiao Jin wanted unsharpened toys like Tang swords, Miao swords, daggers, or pistols. In fact, he even wanted a gun.
“Mr. Xiao…” A hint of resentment appeared in Chen Kai’s eyes.
We agreed it was just a little bit of 'supplies'!
"Most of the items here are fine, and I should be able to find some melee weapons, but this gun..."
Xiao Jin: "It's okay, just do your best."
“Okay! I’ll help you get the food.” Chen Kai nodded with difficulty. “But do you really need this much food? Cooked food doesn’t keep for very long.”
"Ahem!" Xiao Jin coughed lightly, her eyes looking slightly unnatural.
There was no other way; she was terrified of being hungry. Since she had the means, she certainly couldn't treat herself badly. Anyway, the things wouldn't spoil if they were kept in her own space.
Since he couldn't persuade Chen Kai, he could only do as Xiao Jin said. Anyway, these requests were trivial matters to him. If he could befriend such a big shot as Xiao Jin, maybe the big shot would change his mind and agree to his request!
Chen Kai had many spare warehouses, but Xiao Jin's batch of supplies wasn't much; even the smallest warehouse couldn't be filled. Chen Kai arranged for one to be lent to Xiao Jin overnight and also sent Xiao Jin there.
However, while ordering Xiao Jin to collect supplies, Chen Kai inexplicably also prepared a lot for himself. He even made a special call to the port manager where his yacht was docked to ask if his yacht had been regularly maintained.
When Chen Kai came to his senses, he looked at the lists he had signed, each one filled with supplies, and slapped himself.
Has he gone mad with demonic possession?
After a while, Chen Kai wiped his face.
Well, I've already bought them, so I'll just treat it as a precaution. If I gamble wrong, it won't be a huge loss, but if I gamble right, I'll have to rely on these supplies to save my life.
Unbeknownst to Chen Kai himself, he had already begun to side with Xiao Jin.
Leaving the bar in the rain, Xiao Jin sat in the warehouse provided by Chen Kai for the next few hours, watching workers come and go, carrying in the supplies she needed.
As for the food she ordered, it was all properly packed in takeout boxes and finally placed in a specially made insulated box.
“Mr. Xiao…” Chen Kai’s subordinate walked up to Xiao Jin.
"The supplies are mostly here. Please check them. If there are no further instructions, I'll go back and report!"
Xiao Jin raised her head slightly: "Where is the weapon I asked for?"
"Here it is." Chen Kai's subordinate turned around, walked to the side, picked up a long, rectangular box, and presented it to Xiao Jin.
“Our boss said that if there’s too little time, we can get both of these together.”
