It was around 8 o'clock when Li Yao finished collecting her makeup. While washing up, she listened to the news. Sure enough, it was another report about many things disappearing. Police from various countries were actively investigating, but there were no clues. After hearing this so many times, Li Yao had become immune to it. She even felt that the foreign spokespeople were not as passionate as they were yesterday.
After washing up, Li Yao took out a cup of unsweetened soy milk, a jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) with two eggs and two sausages, a banana, and a small cup of yogurt to make a banana yogurt cup. After eating and drinking her fill, Li Yao began to collect breakfasts from office buildings and cities S, H, B, and G according to her schedule.
Today, Li Yao also ordered some Hong Kong-style dim sum. She booked the entire menu for 2,000 people, filling up all the restaurant's food. Some established restaurants said they wanted to reserve for regular customers, so they could only book for 200 people. Li Yao didn't hesitate and booked everything she could. In the end, she received about 10,000 servings of each type of food, including shrimp dumplings, steamed dumplings, char siu buns, custard buns, siu mai, seafood congee, pork chop buns, pork chop rice, roast duck, roast goose, siu mai, soup dumplings, and sweet soups.
Today, Dazhuang was still replacing hard drives in the office building. Li Yao took stock of her supplies. She had already bought the basic clothes. Now, the only thing left to get through was the fog period. Li Yao thought about it and realized that if she could avoid breathing outside air, there was a spacesuit like the ones in the movies, with oxygen tanks. So, Li Yao had the system search. After searching around, she found that there were only three countries that could manufacture flying spacesuits: China, the Fighting Nation, and the Flag Nation.
Li Yao from Longguo genuinely didn't want to participate in the "free purchase" scheme. Longguo doesn't have a tradition of free purchases, so there's no such insurance, unlike in other countries where merchants are compensated by insurance companies for losses incurred through free purchases. Therefore, in situations where compensation is available, victims generally don't pursue the matter relentlessly; they're content with what they have, so Li Yao won't be targeted in the future.
Moreover, post-apocalyptic space novels are popular in China. Li Yao is willing to guarantee that as soon as she finishes collecting the items, someone will post online saying, "Which big shot has awakened a space ability to hoard goods?" Unlike abroad, where only a minority of people read these kinds of novels. Furthermore, given the arrogance and pride of foreigners, they would not accept the ideas of the Chinese. They would only think of aliens or their superheroes.
The full mobilization of China's national machinery is terrifying; if they really wanted to investigate someone, they could investigate them to the death. Li Yao has flaws everywhere. Therefore, China cannot act for the time being, so that China can remain uninvolved. It's different abroad; their zero-yuan purchases involve a huge group that is difficult to thoroughly investigate, and their police ultimately face too many limitations when investigating people from other countries.
Li Yao thought it best to check the spacesuit inventory in the Flag State first. As usual, the system checked the location and took over the monitoring. Li Yao went straight to the equipment warehouse. Li Yao went to the Ames Research Center, Golan Research Center, Langley Research Center, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and Dryden Flight Research Center in the Flag State. These are all research centers under the Flag State Space Agency. These places have old models of spacesuits. The new models are on display at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. It just so happens that the new models were announced not long ago.
The new spacesuit is equipped with a portable life support system that resembles a backpack, along with a helmet with lights and a high-definition camera. This portable life support system is essentially an oxygen cylinder and air conditioner combined into one unit.
The design envisions this spacesuit supporting astronauts during extended extravehicular activity for up to eight hours. The new spacesuit features a multi-layered structure: the innermost layer acts like a balloon to ensure the suit is filled with air; the outermost layer protects against dust and damage from sharp rocks and other objects; and the middle layers regulate temperature and maintain shape.
While reading the news summary, Li Yao headed straight for Axiom Aerospace Company. In their research lab, she indeed found about ten spacesuits on mannequins. At that moment, the system said, "Dear host, these spacesuits are finished products. Besides these, this company also has many protective suits, thermostatic suits, invisibility suits, and more made from new materials."
Upon hearing that there were many other good things, Li Yao immediately told the system, "[6834, let's take this company, its R&D center, production line, warehouse, and raw materials]."
The system replied, "Yes, host."
So, as Li Yao reached out and touched the wall, she opened the [Teleportation Door]. In an instant, the entire company was in Li Yao's [Infinite Space]. Moreover, this company had oxygen supply equipment, so Li Yao didn't need to buy any more.
The outfit was rather conspicuous, so Li Yao, having prepared a backup plan, went directly to the mall and ordered 10 sets of diving equipment online, including oxygen tanks and masks. She also bought a set of oxygen filling equipment for the diving suits and 5,000 additional oxygen tanks. The total expenditure was 16.89 million yuan.
They also purchased 20,000 fully enclosed heavy protective suits online, each suit accompanied by an oxygen supply system. Li Yao also bought 100,000 oxygen cylinders of the same specifications, plus 50 sets of matching oxygen filling equipment. The total expenditure was 77.9 million yuan.
After buying the equipment, Li Yao took out the spacesuit. It looked decent, though a bit big for her. However, it had some adjustable straps, so it was usable. It was mainly for stockpiling supplies or observing terrain during the fog of war, and there wouldn't be much movement involved. After putting away the spacesuit, Li Yao became very interested in the invisibility cloak.
As Li Yao watched, the system acted as an interpreter, translating the research center's materials about the invisibility cloak.
Inspired by the movie "The Invisible Man," this invisibility cloak is designed to fit the wearer in an adjustable way, based on the concept and shape of the film. The cloak has a built-in camera and infrared detector, and can be connected to the internet to view real-time information and parameters of objects, people, or animals. Made of a special synthetic composite material, the cloak can manipulate light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation around objects, rendering them invisible like a black hole swallowing them.
Li Yao put on the invisibility cloak and teleported to the mirror. She found that she really couldn't see herself, not from any angle. It was amazing! Li Yao then picked up her phone from the table and took a picture of herself. Wow, she couldn't see herself there either! It was incredible. With this, Li Yao felt it was a perfect match for her teleportation ability. She no longer needed to wear all black to hide herself.
At noon, Li Yao wore an invisibility cloak to collect takeout orders in several other cities. Although she still didn't use the teleportation portal for safety, her use of [Spatial Conversion] no longer resulted in a hand suddenly reaching out from an empty environment like before. Now, no one could see her hand, and the spatial fluctuations of [Spatial Conversion] and [Teleportation Portal] were generally invisible to the average person. Therefore, if someone was in the warehouse, they wouldn't see anything and would only think that the items had disappeared into thin air.
