In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

On May 28, after receiving the last batch of goods, Hongtang finally drove her RV home.

Now her space is filled with large areas of fruits, vegetables, crops, and flowers, and the livestock are also lively and energetic.

Inside the warehouse, water, grain, seeds, equipment, and general merchandise were neatly arranged. Clothing, bedding, and blankets were placed on the third floor of the small white building, as were medical equipment and surgical supplies.

Commonly used medicines and the supermarkets that purchase them are all located on the first floor. This time, the supermarket has a more complete range of products.

Looking at the space that was gradually being improved, Hongtang felt extremely safe.

[Host, there are currently many goods in this space. Would you like to list them on the interdimensional trading system?]

Every time goods are added to the space, the younger sister always asks a question at the right time. The system only has a chance to upgrade when the host makes a transaction.

Unfortunately, Hongtang didn't give it that chance.

"Little sister, not yet. Although I have a lot of things in my space, I haven't finished purchasing the supplies I need. I'm not in the mood. If I don't prepare the supplies, and it really happens that the apocalypse, if I die, you'll be in big trouble too."

Looking at the unfinished procurement list and the remaining funds, Hongtang felt somewhat melancholy.

There are still about 70 yuan in funds.

However, the supplies that have not yet been procured, in terms of the strength of demand, include Chinese herbal medicine seedlings, energy (coal, gasoline, diesel, etc.), aquatic products, vehicles, and weapons.

These are not subject to a specific budget; preparations are made based on the actual available funds.

The first two are essential: traditional Chinese medicine to save lives, and energy supplies to ensure survival. In case of extremely cold weather, coal and firewood will be needed for warmth. Although plenty of warm clothing and bedding have been prepared, these are still indispensable.

Oh, melancholy.

【Host, why don't you try the interdimensional trading system? Perhaps you can find a substitute item.】

Hongtang's eyes lit up. Yes, this was a good idea. How come she hadn't thought of it? She hadn't opened her mind.

"Little sister, thank you so much! Your suggestion was so timely. I love you so much!"

[I'm happy to be able to help my sister. A batch of fruit in the space has ripened, and you can list it on the system. With enough dimensional coins, you can buy even more items that suit your taste. You currently have 10 dimensional coins.]

These days, Hongtang has been practicing her ability to accelerate fruit production, so a large batch of strawberries, oranges, apples, pears, watermelons, and other fruits in her space have ripened, and they taste much better than the fruits outside. So she now has plenty of fruit.

"Okay, let's put the strawberries and oranges on the shelves first. Strawberries will be sold by the box, 12 strawberries per box, for 1.2 dimensional coins. Oranges will be sold individually, for 1 dimensional coins each. Let's put 10 of each on the shelves first. You can try one strawberry and one segment of an orange."

Although she didn't know the extent of the purchasing power difference between dimensional coins and dragon coins, nor whether this pricing was reasonable, she wanted to price it this way, emphasizing a "whatever I want" approach. This was the first fruit she had ever created using energy; it was sweet and delicious, and each one consumed was one less available, making it extremely precious.

Black Heart Tang is now online.

The reason these two fruits were chosen is that oranges are seedless, and the seeds from strawberries cannot be used for replanting. This way, there's no need to worry about species spreading out.

Sister, "..." Host, you really know how to make money, you know that?

[Yes, host, I'll arrange for the product to be listed right away.]

"Okay, you can arrange it. I'll go prepare dinner; we'll have boiled dumplings tonight."

[Host, you still have a self-trading card. It allows you to trade with merchants of any level. Remember to use it.]

"Okay, housekeeper. We'll talk about it later."

Add water, turn on the heat, put in the dumplings, cover the pot, and wait seven minutes...

Hongtang is very skilled at cooking dumplings and instant noodles. This is one of the few culinary skills she can be proud of.

Make good use of the time while the dumplings are cooking.

She's been busy receiving deliveries these past few days and hasn't had time to check her phone properly, so she must have missed a lot of messages.

Sure enough, there were 99+ comments in the WeChat group.

The messages tagging her were mainly accusations, questions, and anger from her manager, Tang Li.

They felt she was deliberately skipping work, lacking a sense of responsibility and accountability. They believed such an important project as the Beijing villa shouldn't have been entrusted to her, and so on. There was no other significant information, so I'll omit it.

The neighborhood WeChat group is still filled with trivial family matters and squabbles between property management and residents. Nothing interesting, so I'll skip the details.

Wait, something's not right. There's an important piece of information!

The price of apartments in this neighborhood has increased by nearly 1.2 yuan per square meter!

It turns out that an alumnus from the nearby university became one of the first "star citizens" to settle on Blue Star. The whole city is now celebrating this.

Looking more closely at the timeline, it was the night before I signed the purchase contract with the real estate agent.

Hongtang was instantly heartbroken. She'd lost over 180 million yuan on her house – a huge loss! She usually found the group chat too annoying and had set it to "Do Not Disturb," only checking it occasionally. That's how she missed such important information.

Oh well, the money's already spent, no need to dwell on it.

Then there was Han Ya's message, telling her to hurry over and pick up the cat.

Oh, she also rescued a kitten, but she didn't plan to keep it. So she casually transferred 5000 yuan to Han Ya, with the note "cat's living expenses".

Han Ya called directly, questioning, "Sweetie, where have you been all month? Why aren't you answering your calls or replying to your messages? Do you know that your kitten and Big Flower are fighting every day? Big Flower's whiskers are almost pulled bald, and he's about to become stressed. Are you back now? Hurry up and take the kitten away."

"Ahem! Xiaoya, I'm so sorry. I've been too busy with business trips lately, and I'm not home. I'll need your help to take care of the kitten for a while longer. I'll pick it up when I get back."

Hongtang never expected the little kitten to be so powerful. Big Flower and she always get along, so she needs the little kitten to help her get revenge.

[Beep, Host, Dr. Xishir, a high-tech interdimensional businessman, wishes to conduct a video transaction with you. Do you agree?]

[The other party is also a level-two merchant with a lot of interdimensional currency. The page shows she is a high-tech intelligent product researcher; perhaps the host can buy what they want from her. She just tried strawberries and oranges.]

"Okay, I agree to the deal."

The dumplings were cooked, so Hongtang turned off the stove, took her phone, and went to the study.

Soon, a woman dressed in a business suit and wearing large-framed glasses appeared on the transparent screen in front of her.

"Hello, beautiful lady from the interstellar dimension. I am Dr. Xishir from a high-tech dimension. You can call me Xishir. I just sampled two kinds of fruit on your shelf; may I buy them in bulk?"

"Hello, Dr. Xishir. I'm Hongtang. How many would you like?"

"The more the better. By the way, what are the names of these two fruits?"

"The small red fruit is called strawberry, which is very suitable for women and children. The yellow-skinned fruit is orange, which has the effects of clearing the lungs and relieving cough, regulating qi and stimulating appetite, and is suitable for all ages. These two fruits are also very precious to me. I currently have 50 portions of each. Can we trade these first?"

“Sure, sure. Let’s trade these for now. When you have more fruit, be sure to trade with me first. I have a lot of dimensional coins.” Xi Xier was very excited, seemingly not expecting to be able to buy so much fruit at once.

Seeing Xixi's excited expression, Hongtang belatedly realized that she had still priced her fruit too low. It seems that fruit is quite scarce in high-tech dimensions.

Make a note of this: there's still room for the price to go up.
