Weapons also need to be prepared: knives, guns, clubs, and other weapons. Prepare several boxes of everything you can buy, including electric batons and crossbows, which are more lethal.
Finally, there were some miscellaneous items, travel essentials, watches, bicycles, electric scooters, farm equipment, and even two RVs.
Then she traveled all over the world, enriching the species in her space while traveling. She bought all the seeds she could find and a lot of fruit trees, so now she could eat whatever she wanted.
Five years later, Xiaoli returned to Anshi. She had bought everything she could, and now she wanted to focus on her studies and spend time with her parents and younger brother.
The happiest person when Xiaoli returned was An Yichen. He was worried and scared that she had been bullied while she was out alone, and he knew nothing about it.
Looking at the composed and handsome man opposite her, Xiao Li was unconsciously a little stunned. This was too unfair; he was almost thirty years old, yet he still looked the same as when he was young. Fair skin, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes.
Piled-up stones like jade, rows of pines like emerald green. That must be describing him.
An Yichen blinked, breaking the silence, and Xiao Li immediately smiled.
It must be my imagination. How could he like me? There are plenty of rich and beautiful women chasing after him. We've barely met in person; we usually communicate by phone.
“An Yichen, I’m not leaving again this time. We agreed that you would work for me for ten years. After this, you’re free!”
All these years, she's been so carefree thanks to An Yichen; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live such a carefree life.
"However, do you want to invest? Starting your own business will require a lot of capital, and you can take the employees with you. There's no need for the studio to exist if you're not here. My ambitions lie elsewhere. I want to spend the rest of my time learning in other fields."
An Yichen felt a sudden pang of disappointment. Did she no longer need him? He tentatively began, "Actually, I can always..."
"No, you will build your own kingdom. You shouldn't confine yourself to this small county town. You should go to a wider world and unleash your talents."
Xiao Li genuinely felt that he shouldn't be trapped. Although she hadn't intervened in his previous life, he had still succeeded, even going further than in this life.
An Yichen suddenly realized that she had been narrow-minded. She trusted her so much. If I could be your support, I would be willing.
“Okay, you’re welcome to invest in me.” An Yichen extended his hand.
This statement was quite ambiguous, and Xiao Li's face turned red. However, seeing An Yichen's serious expression, she realized she was overthinking it. She touched her face, dismissed the thought, and shook hands with him.
An Yichen's heart was pounding wildly. Her hands were so small, so soft, so cute. He wanted to kiss them, hug them, and lift them up high... but he didn't dare.
Xiaoli went home after having afternoon tea. She had arranged to have dinner with her family that evening, so going home now was the perfect time.
Back home, Xiaoli immediately went into the kitchen. She showed off her culinary skills to her parents and younger brother. All those years of learning hadn't been for nothing; the taste was now on par with a professional chef's.
After the meal, Xiaoli brought out a bunch of fruit, all of which she had collected over the years. They were produced by her space and tasted absolutely amazing.
"The fruit Tao'er buys is the best; we can't find this taste anywhere else," Tan Shuang said as she picked out a cherry.
Over the years, although Xiaoli has not been home, she often sends fruits and rice produced in her space to the family. The family's tastes have become quite discerning, and they no longer find ordinary fruits appealing.
"From now on, I'll buy all the fruit for our family. You just need to wait and enjoy it," Xiao Li promised with a smile, peeling a lychee for Tao An.
This is the earliest variety planted in the space. It was probably a tribute, so it was very large. Now, after the space has mutated, it's as big as a child's fist, and the taste is even sweeter.
"Tao'er, you're already twenty-eight. Do you have a boyfriend yet? When are you going to bring him home?"
Tan Shuang couldn't help but ask. Her daughter had grown up and she really wanted to bring a boyfriend home right away. She felt a mix of emotions, including reluctance, worry, and heartache.
Xiao Li's face fell; she knew she couldn't avoid it any longer, so she steeled herself and spoke her mind.
"Mom and Dad, I don't want to get married anymore. I don't want to settle unless I find someone I approve of." After Xiaoli finished speaking, she stared at her parents' faces. She didn't know what to do if they disagreed.
Tao Zhenglin and Tan Shuang exchanged a glance. They had already guessed it, but they were still as shocked as when they heard it.
They knew their daughter was independent and opinionated; she always made excuses when they urged her to get married, so the outcome was obvious. Seeing her anxious expression, the couple couldn't bear to pressure her.
"Tao'er, you can choose whatever kind of life you want, but remember, this will always be your home. If you meet a good boy, don't miss the chance. Try dating him and see what happens. You might just fall in love with him."
Xiao Li was overjoyed and immediately hugged Tan Shuang's arm, saying sweetly, "I knew Mom and Dad were the best, they would definitely support me."
"Okay, okay, we all support you. But what will you do if we leave and you're all alone?"
"Isn't there a younger brother? When I get old, I can hire a caregiver."
"Sister, I'll take care of you from now on." Tao An is only five years old, but he already understands a lot of what he's saying.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." Xiao Li nodded solemnly, and Xiao Tao An also made a serious promise. Looking at the two lively children, the whole family burst into laughter.
It's impossible to have a retirement home. With space at my disposal, illness is unlikely. When the time comes, I can just leave this world.
In the days that followed, Xiao Li went to learn tea ceremony, flower arrangement, yoga, swimming, guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument), calligraphy, painting...
She even learned to drive, and eventually went to learn repair, because she was worried that if the appliances in her room broke down, no one would be there to fix them, so she figured it was better to learn herself. Anyway, she had nothing better to do.
At the age of forty, An Yichen finally confessed his feelings. Xiao Li found it very strange. She was a little moved, but she knew she had not fallen in love with him.
Moreover, she wouldn't be able to stay in this world for long. She missed Yun Yuniang, Mo Qingshan and Mo Yunxiao, as well as Chen Niang, Xiao Jiu'er, and that dense forest where her friends were waiting for her.
So she refused, letting her be beautiful on her own.
As An Yichen's company grew larger and larger, Xiao Li's dividends also increased. She began to devote herself to public welfare activities, personally following up on every donation, and personally leading teams to deliver various supplies to remote areas to ensure that every act of kindness reached those in need.
She also used the system to combat human traffickers, rescued tens of thousands of people, helped abducted children and women find their way home, and gave hope to those who had no way back after returning home.
Xiao Li established a foundation, into which she invested all her assets, including future dividends, which would be deposited into the account on time.
