Chapter 530: Chapter 414: Hoarding a Myriad of Supplies for a Disaster, I’m Slacking Off on Raising My Kid 2
Originally, to prevent mental patients from escaping, this psychiatric hospital installed electric fences and numerous surveillance cameras. Its location was also quite remote.
The taxi driver complained a few times that the place was too far away. Su Zhiruan gave him double the fare, and his complaints immediately subsided.
The raindrops, as large as beans, were getting denser, hitting the car window and quickly blurring the view outside. It was hard to see the scenery. The driver turned on the windshield wipers, but the rain was just too heavy.
Su Zhiruan opened the System Mall.
Generally speaking, she did not like to rely on external forces to complete tasks, so even though she knew about the existence of the System Mall, she had only used it once in the Immortal Demon world; at other times, she preferred to rely on herself.
Otherwise, the appearance of inexplicable phenomena in the ordinary real world worried her about potential slip-ups.
But now, she decided to see if there were any useful items, especially since the Catastrophe Apocalypse was less than three days away. After July 10th, it would be too late; the time was pressing.
[Host, there is a categorized page here for you to choose from]
The System, on the side, saw her skipping many pages and quickly came out to help her select categories.
“So the System Mall is this vast.” Su Zhiruan raised an eyebrow, just looking at the categories was dazzling.
[You rarely use the System Mall. The points you’ve accumulated could even exchange for the most expensive items here. That’s why there are a lot of new arrivals in the System Mall, ranging from daily necessities to elixirs and talisman papers. There’s nothing you can’t find except what you can’t imagine.]
The System flew back and forth, enthusiastically introducing Su Zhiruan to various items in the mall.
The host’s points, the System’s glory.
Having nearly a million points, it also felt honored. Seeing Su Zhiruan finally remembered she had a System Mall, it immediately excitedly started introducing items to her.
“I’m looking for something for housing reinforcement, do you have that?” Su Zhiruan searched in the categories for a long time without success, so she simply let the System do the job. Soon, the System found those categories.
Su Zhiruan looked at the options carefully in her mind.
Wind turbines, solar panels, and even monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels, there were various sources of heat available. There was a wood stove for only 0.5 points, a pellet heater and pellet fuel for 2 points, and even biogas digesters!
Assorted items were dazzling in variety and all-encompassing.
Even some common everyday items, such as lighters, only cost 0.01 points, and there was firewood, one ton for 0.5 points.
And her points balance still had 990,000.
Looking at her massive points total, Su Zhiruan felt for the first time just how wealthy she was.
It was as if she had returned to an era with low prices while carrying millions in cash.
[Host, prices do change, you know.] The System explained to her why the prices here were so low.
[This is the real world now. These things appearing out of thin air wouldn’t seem out of place, so the prices for such items in this world are very low.]
[But if placed in the ancient times, when the world background did not have these high technologies, the prices would be very, very high.]
After the System had finished speaking, Su Zhiruan understood.
Altogether, stockpiling goods and necessities in this world, just relying on a System Space was enough.
Apart from that, she felt even more at ease with another forty million that had not yet been credited to her account.
The car continued to drive into the pitch-black curtain of rain, splashing up quite a bit of water.
There was no moonlight today, and as they drove to the suburbs, there were fewer and fewer people around, and there were even no residents living by the roadside.
The trees on both sides were layered upon one another, covering the sky and blocking the sun. On the entire asphalt road, there was only their car.
In the darkness, Su Zhiruan slowly narrowed her eyes.
She cut the conversation with the System.
Ever since they had entered this road, she had felt the driver’s gaze on her from the rearview mirror from time to time.
She was sitting in the back seat. Everything was normal during their chat in the city, but ever since they entered this road, the driver’s eyes kept looking over at her.
While Su Zhiruan was chatting with the System, it was with her eyes closed and the conversation occurred in her mind, but she was sensitive; she quickly became aware of the driver’s odd behavior.
“Little girl… Going to visit relatives late at night, what are you doing?” The driver glanced at her again through the rearview mirror and even licked his lips, “Don’t you know, girls like you are very easy to draw attention.”
