Chapter 34
Frenzied Shopping!
Jiang Chu finally left under Qin Yan's gloomy gaze.
Qin Yan was too dangerous; no matter what he traded, he was never one to suffer a loss.
She switched to a truck and once again entered the wholesale market, continuing to replenish supplies.
She needed 8000 chicken eggs, 3000 duck eggs, and 3000 goose eggs.
600 catties of pork, 500 catties of beef, 300 catties of lamb, and 200 catties each of chicken and duck meat.
In addition, she bought large quantities of chicken feet, chicken wings, duck tongues, duck necks, and so on.
Next, she went into the seafood section, buying a total of 1000 fish of various types, 600 catties of shrimp, squid, octopus, etc., also preparing a considerable amount.
These bosses looked at her as if she were the God of Wealth, prioritizing her orders and even giving her many extra items.
Returning to the truck, as she collected the supplies into her space, the system's mechanical voice rang out.
【Ding—】
【Host detected stockpiling a large amount of supplies. New system exchange function unlocked. Please confirm whether to open it?】
Jiang Chu looked, and the new exchange system interface had an additional exchange portal. She clicked on it, and among the options appeared a 150-square-meter property under her name, which could be exchanged for 150 square meters of space.
She hesitated for a moment. Even if she wanted to sell the property, the procedures couldn't be that fast, and space was real. An additional 150 square meters could hold many more items.
After careful consideration, she resolutely clicked to exchange.
【Ding, exchange successful.】
Jiang Chu entered her space and found that it had indeed increased by 150 square meters. She was delighted. The larger the space, the more supplies she could store.
Her phone started vibrating again.
A message from Jiang Chun Hong popped up, an image of a bloody severed finger. Four of the five fingers were chopped off, and the wound was infected. There was no need to think; it was Xue Lin.
Below it was a line: "It's all because you didn't give us money that your cousin's fingers were chopped off. Jiang Chu, you're so young yet so vicious. Don't blame us for causing trouble at your school. If you want to protect your reputation, give us 1 million to shut us up."
Immediately after, Xue Ying Ying and Xue Lin also sent her similar messages.
Jiang Chu screenshotted the chat history. These three uneducated individuals dared to openly threaten her like this.
Chen Qing Qing, a close classmate, sent a message: "Chu Chu, quickly check the school's Tieba forum. Three anonymous accounts are spreading a lot of rumors about you. Go clarify them quickly or contact the administrator to delete them, otherwise, the rumors will surely fly everywhere."
Jiang Chu clicked open Tieba as prompted by Chen Qing Qing. Three anonymous accounts had posted many articles, spamming and slandering her, saying she was involved with rich people, and also saying she disregarded the lives of her relatives. In short, all kinds of rumors were there.
There were also many schoolmates gossiping.
"So exciting?"
"Damn, I know this person. She hasn't been to school these past few days. Maybe it's true."
"Be careful with your fabrications, or you'll end up at the police station."
Jiang Chu curved her lips, saved all the evidence, and immediately went to the nearest Public Security Bureau to report it.
She used the reason of fabricating facts to defame others and public insult to accuse the three of Jiang Chun Hong. She also provided a series of evidence, and additionally accused Xue Lin of illegal gambling.
The police officers looking at her all had sympathetic eyes, and the case was solved much faster.
Jiang Chu took a photo of the police report receipt, opened an account, and posted the chat history of Jiang Chun Hong threatening her to pay gambling debts, up to the latest threatening messages, on Tieba, attaching the police report receipt.
She coldly replied: "The police have been notified. Please, fellow students, do not fabricate stories, otherwise, we will meet at the police station."
The rumors that were originally unfavorable to her immediately turned around, and everyone criticized her extreme relatives for being inhumane.
Jiang Chu didn't care, but she couldn't not teach this strange family of three a lesson.
She called Jiang Chun Hong and said decisively, "Prepare to wait at the police station."
Except for Xue Lin, the other two would be detained for at least fifteen days. When the zombie virus broke out, who would pay attention to this unlucky family of three?
Interesting.
Jiang Chun Hong knew she had made a big deal out of it, but she still felt wronged. She just wanted to make money. Jiang Chu had so much money, a house, a car, and savings at such a young age. What was 1 million to her!
She said in a panic, "How can you be so vicious? We're relatives, after all; we're family. Are you saying you made a false report? Ying Ying is still in school and can't have a criminal record."
Jiang Chu sneered: "Who's family with you? My family died long ago. Do you really want to go down and keep them company?"
"Can't have a criminal record in school? Then don't go to school anymore."
She hung up immediately after speaking. This episode delayed her until dawn. She guessed that the family of three might be lurking outside her apartment, but she was too lazy to confront them directly.
There weren't many days left; she might as well enjoy herself.
She booked a 5-star hotel room, slept comfortably, and woke up to sweet pastries and delicacies. What she couldn't eat, she collected into her space.
The police report and clarification from yesterday were highly efficient.
When she woke up, Jiang Chun Hong's family of three were already waiting at the Public Security Bureau. At the request of the police and herself, they had posted apology videos on Tieba, their social media circles, and other places, receiving endless ridicule.
She felt no sympathy; she would just let them stay there until the virus outbreak.
To date, she had spent a total of 970,000, with 1.53 million remaining.
In other words, she still had plenty of funds to stockpile goods.
Jiang Chu entered a sports equipment store.
She bought a series of exploration equipment and baseball bats. Hua Nation prohibited guns; most survivors' weapons were cutting tools, baseball bats, and other sharp weapons.
She ordered flashlights, helmets, body armor, tents, outdoor jackets, and all outdoor gear.
It cost a total of 30,000 yuan.
In addition, she bought many outdoor emergency kits, containing pliers, hemostatic bandages, thermometers, compressed biscuits, etc.
Before this, she had bought large quantities of cold medicine, antibiotics, vitamins, alcohol, and other common medications. Only a small amount of prescription drugs was needed; they could be used for trade.
The weak would only be eliminated by the apocalypse.
She had struggled for seven years in the apocalypse; those who could survive until then had adapted to the way of survival in the apocalypse, where the strong preyed on the weak.
By the time she finished buying these things, it was three in the afternoon. She had fully prepared basic living supplies such as food, drink, and shelter.
In a situation where survival could be guaranteed, it was appropriate to enjoy herself.
Having suffered for so many years, Jiang Chu had no intention of treating herself poorly.
As she entered the commercial district, she felt a slight stir. The dazzling array of delicacies and tempting milk tea caught her eye.
She now had money and could stockpile to her heart's content. She ordered many hot toasts, pork floss sponge cakes, waffles, ice cream scoops, Swiss rolls, chocolate cakes, mango mille-feuille, palmier cookies, etc., asking the staff to pack them and pay extra for delivery to her 5-star hotel room.
And from the various colorful milk tea shops, she ordered all kinds of milk tea with all flavors at once. Milk tea, green milk tea, fruit tea, shaved ice—she ordered everything, a total of a thousand cups.
Then she went to a fried chicken shop and bought all kinds of fried chicken and snacks with all flavors at once.
