Chapter 6: Stockpiling & Disappearing Crystal Cores
While Li Xingye was on his way, Chi Wan had already set off towards the city.
Because she had just obtained her driver's license, Chi Yuanshan refused to let her drive by herself, so she took three buses before she could get to the city.
Chi Wan did not go to the supermarket, but chose to go directly to the wholesale market.
Although Li Xingye gave her a lot of gold, it was troublesome to take out so much at once - when she entered the space to get the gold bars just now, she found that Li Xingye had found a lot of things for her at some point.
Not only were there gold bars of various weights, but there were also gold and diamond jewelry, jade articles, etc. She even saw an emerald jade plate that was nearly half the size of her palm! !
Chi Wan was very suspicious. If he sold all these things, he would be investigated immediately for the huge amount of money from unknown sources.
After all, she had also learned some things about Chi Yuanshan's business before. Large amounts of property from unknown sources could easily arouse the suspicion of the uncles in hats.
Thinking of this, Chi Wan also had a headache. It seemed that the gold could not be disposed of casually in the future. She had to find a suitable reason to make it her legal property...
She took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement of suddenly becoming a rich woman with a lot of money that she couldn't spend, and chose a gold bar weighing only 100 grams, and went straight to a pawn shop next to the wholesale market.
The boss was not too old. He wore a pair of brown glasses and looked nonchalant. However, he did not take advantage of Chi Wan's young age by lowering the price too much.
He bought the gold at a price 5 yuan per gram lower than the normal price, and Chi Wan instantly got more than 50,000 yuan.
Considering that he could exchange it for some small amounts of gold later, Chi Wan asked the boss for his contact information and asked him to issue an invoice.
After leaving the shop, I looked at the owner's name on the business card: Zhou Huaian.
What a coincidence, his name is somewhat similar to that of the young man who helped her today.
Chi Wan smiled, saved the contact information and put the matter out of her mind. She still had a lot of things to do today.
She rented a small warehouse nearby for 50 yuan for only half a day, and actually used it as a transit station for space.
Her space had actually been awakened for a long time, but it was small and she had never discovered any special effects - except that food could be kept fresh when put in it.
Chi Wan even thought that if he couldn't find a job after graduating from university, it would be a good choice to take advantage of the fresh-keeping properties of space and run a frozen food logistics business?
No one would have thought that one day this space would lead to the end of the world.
As she sighed, she started stockpiling.
Considering that Li Xingye may have a lot of people to support, I don’t know if he has any children. But since he mentioned the need for food that can be stored for a long time, Chi Wan bought 100 boxes of compressed biscuits and instant noodles, as well as 100 boxes of purified water for emergency use.
Then they each bought a hundred boxes of self-heating hot pot, milk bread, as well as a variety of fast food products, canned food, various sausages, etc.
Although fruits and vegetables are difficult to preserve, it should be fine if you prepare a small amount and keep it in a space so that you can take as much as you eat.
After delivering all the supplies to the small warehouse, Chi Wan closed the door and put them into the space.
But she soon discovered tragically that there didn't seem to be enough space.
Fortunately, she had specially moved other things to the corner of the space early this morning, but after installing these, the space was already full.
Food cannot be stored in the apocalyptic environment, so if you want to keep it fresh you have to put it in space...you're stuck in a vicious circle.
She had never had such a strong thought: if only there was more space.
Unfortunately this was not something she could change. Seeing that there was not much free space, Chi Wan stuffed some small, high-calorie foods like chocolate bars into the space, and then bought two pots of Pieris japonica to fill up the last bit of space.
As the sun was about to set, Chi Wan bought some small items and left the wholesale market.
*
Just as Chi Wan was filling up the space, Li Xingye seemed to sense something and glanced into the space.
Even though he believed that he had been struggling to survive in the apocalypse for so many years and had long been calm, the moment he saw those boxes of food, a warm current surged out of his heart, so turbulent that it almost made him cry!
If he was still a little nervous about what he said to Chi Wan before, now he finally felt at ease. He even wanted to vent his excitement and joy like Qiangzi did before!
Seeing that Li Xingye's face looked a little off, Qiangzi and the others suppressed their uneasiness and asked carefully: "Brother Ye, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the food..."
Li Xingye laughed out loud: "Hahaha, I just want to ask you, are you full? Do you want to eat more?"
Cheng Peng reached out and touched Li Xingye's forehead, muttering, "Could it be that he has been hungry for too long, and he is talking nonsense because of the indigestion after eating two pieces of bread just now?"
But when Haozi looked at Li Xingye, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
He suppressed his excitement, his voice trembling, "Brother, is it because of the gold I paid as tribute that the Space God gave us food?!"
! ! !
yes! How could they forget about this after eating two loaves of bread!
So under the three people's fixed gazes, Li Xingye nodded gently, then patted several people's shoulders fiercely, and could no longer suppress the joy in his heart: "Not only do we have food to eat, but everyone in the base has food to eat!! No one has to worry about food anymore!! "
After hearing what Li Xingye said, this time the three of them started to scream crazily, more zombie-like than zombies.
But no one stopped them because they had been suppressed for too long.
No one knows how much pressure it is to carry the lives of an entire base on your shoulders. And how much pain would people have to endure just to watch helplessly those lives fade away?
But from now on, they will no longer have to watch people in the base die of hunger!
Li Xingye had left some room in his words before. He said "maybe", so the few people did not dare to put all their hopes on the God of Space.
But Li Xingye's performance this time told them that everything was settled.
As long as there is enough food, even zombies will not pose much of a threat to them!
They randomly found an empty house, lit a fire, and then Li Xingye gave each of them a can of luncheon meat, a sausage, and an orange. They ate this overly luxurious meal without even raising their heads.
Li Xingye was thinking about the space that was filled with nearly 2/3 of food, and his heart was burning with excitement.
No, I have to ask Chi Wan later if there is anything else he wants besides gold.
Li Xingye was overwhelmed by the pile of food and didn't notice for a moment that the zombie crystal cores he had piled up in the corner of the space had disappeared without a trace at some point.
However, the fragrant ivy that Chi Wan originally bought for decoration grew a lot taller in a short period of time.
