She discovered this while giving Ha Ge a bath.

When water splashed on it, its fur stood on end, and it stretched its little paws into the water to release an electric current, which gave Hongtang a shiver.

Hongtang recalled what happened before and after she found Brother Ha. It was during the May Day holiday, and it rained for three days. She inexplicably gained a space and three kinds of energy.

I imagine Brother Ha is in the same situation, but he can't easily reveal his "lightning-type superpowers" to the public right now.

So whenever Ha Ge stretched out his claws, Hong Tang would whisper in his ear, "Ha Ge, you can't use your electric powers now, or the bad guys will catch you and eat you. Unless you're in mortal danger someday, understand?"

Brother Ha, "..." Foolish woman!

I'm just doing some stretching. As long as you don't give me a bath, I won't flirt. Men and women shouldn't touch each other, I'm not shy at all.

It's already June 15th, and the temperature has risen to 47°C. Some businesses have started taking summer vacation, and many restaurants are also not open during the day.

Fortunately, Hongtang had stocked up on a lot of food over the past two weeks, with over 6000 meals, including 3500 breakfasts. These included steamed buns, mantou, red bean buns, soy milk, eggs, fried dough sticks, rice noodles, rice noodle rolls, and several large buckets of common cold side dishes. She even bought buckets of tofu pudding—ten 50-liter buckets in total. There was also a large bucket of savory sauce, as Hongtang doesn't like sweet flavors.

We've also stocked up on a large quantity of supplies for HaGe, enough for him to eat and use.

They also obtained some fuel through the car modification shop owner, Fuji Ikeno. 60 tons of diesel and 60 tons of gasoline, and he even generously provided two sets of automatic fuel pumps and refueling nozzles.

It turns out that the person in question ran a gas station specifically for his car hobby, which made it convenient for Hongtang to buy fuel.

That evening, in the open-air parking lot of the gas station, six tanker trucks were neatly lined up. Hongtang didn't get very close, but quietly took all six 20-ton tankers away. The whole process took less than a minute.

She can now retrieve objects into a space without contact within 10 meters, which is also the farthest distance she can operate.

Before dawn, Hongtang texted Chi Ye to tell him that the fuel tank had been retrieved and asked him to inform the employees. Chi Ye didn't think much of it at first, but when the employees discovered the missing fuel tank in the morning, they were so worried they were about to call the police. Only after being notified did he explain the situation to the employees, preventing a false alarm.

As for Chino's curiosity about how Hongtang took the oil tank, she smiled slightly and sent him relevant posts about the apocalypse, telling him to prepare supplies as much as possible. Whether Chino believed them or not was up to him.

As for whether it would expose anything about her, Hongtang didn't care, since she wouldn't be staying here for long anyway.

Hongtang had already considered where to choose as her refuge, and the Beishan Villa area was the best choice. It was situated on high ground, with mountains behind it and a lake in front, making it a beautiful and desirable location.

Moreover, there is a large warehouse-style supermarket nearby that can meet all your daily needs.

The villas there are too expensive for Hongtang to afford. She's waiting for an opportunity to rent one.

If she really has no other choice, in order to survive, well, she'll probably resort to any means necessary...

Looking at the thriving vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, herbs, rice, and the increasingly plump livestock in the space, Hongtang was overjoyed.

Looking at the two empty fishponds, Hongtang felt a pang of sadness.

Marine pollution is severe now, making seafood difficult to source. Although Dragon Kingdom has successfully farmed seafood in desert areas, it's too far from Yangcheng, and the seafood prices in the market are too high.

As for freshwater products, she has to go to Dongcheng, where there are fishponds, but it's also near the sea, so there's a risk of pollution.

Never mind, I'll add it later when I have the chance. Nothing can be perfect.

However, she also stocked up on some dried seafood, which she can keep to improve her taste later.

Well, I hope my cooking skills will improve in the future.

After taking stock of her inventory and calculating her funds, she found she still had around 20 yuan. She planned to spend it all before the end of the month, otherwise she wouldn't be able to.

There are still two weeks left, maybe I can make some more money and buy some more goods.

Remembering that villa client from before, Hongtang shamelessly made the call.

This time, a woman answered the phone; she was probably the lady of the house.

The other party stated frankly that they had seen her design and found it acceptable. They asked her to produce a design proposal within 3 days, confirm it within 5 days, and then begin construction.

She had already found five construction teams and wanted the renovations finished and ready for her to move in by the end of the month. She asked Hongtang if she could finish on time.

Hongtang was speechless. If you're so good, then you do it.

"Madam, I'm just an interior designer. I can produce a design in three days, but my price is very high..."

"Money is no problem, we'll use the best of everything. The problem is whether you can let me move in by the end of this month?"

The other party's tone left no room for argument; even over the phone, Hongtang could imagine their arrogant and haughty face.

Okay, you're rich, so you're the boss. Let's talk about money first.

"Your villa consists of six units, totaling 660 square meters including the basement. If the renovation standard is the same as the nine villas you've viewed, the total cost is 17,000 yuan per square meter, making your total cost..."

The woman interrupted sharply, "Raise my renovation standard to 2 yuan per square meter!"

Hongtang, "..." Ah! It's so good to be rich and willful.

Her brain quickly calculated and gave a direct quote: "The total cost is 1320 million yuan, with a 30% prepayment required, which is 396 million yuan. Once the money arrives today, I'll provide you with a proposal by 5 pm tomorrow." Hongtang finished speaking in one breath, giving the other party no chance to interrupt.

"Here's 500 million. I need to see the plan by noon tomorrow! Account details."

Hongtang, "......" Is this for real?!

Since my sister-in-law and eldest sister are not short of money, we can't be stingy. Hongtang immediately sent her account number.

Five minutes later, a text message notified me that 5 million yuan had been deposited into my bank account.

The older sister sent another text message: "The key is with the property management."

Wow, that's decisive and efficient, and quite generous.

No details discussed, no contract signed, just throwing money at her. This woman is someone you can get along with!

So, is all this money for her? Hongtang was suddenly a little confused; she didn't seem to have made herself clear earlier.

Never mind. After receiving the money, Hongtang immediately changed her clothes and drove her minivan straight to the seafood market. Her two fish ponds were now secured.

As for the design plans, they were readily available. When designing Villa No. 9, she created five different plans at various price points, each a masterpiece born from her painstaking efforts.

There are still 4 options left, and Hongtang is confident that she will be able to choose one that she is satisfied with.

Having money in your pocket makes you feel at ease.

Although Hongtang isn't particularly fond of seafood, she does enjoy shrimp, oysters, sea urchins, and crabs. Therefore, all of these must be included.

I bought everything: tiger prawns, freshwater prawns, tiger prawns, mantis shrimp, white shrimp, freshwater prawns, crayfish, baby lobsters, and more. I especially didn't miss any female prawns with eggs.

Purple sea urchins, horse manure sea urchins, Dalian oysters, Rushan oysters, Australian oysters, hairy crabs, swimming crabs, mud crabs, flower crabs, yellow oil crabs, etc.—buy whatever you can find. But they must all be lively and jumping around.

As for shellfish, snails, abalone, and other similar seafood, Hongtang wasn't very interested, but she bought them whenever she saw something fresh.

The types of fish are even more varied. These include pomfret, small yellow croaker, small sea bass, golden threadfin bream, tigerfish, ribbonfish, mackerel, and other sea fish, as well as grass carp, black carp, common carp, silver carp, and so on.

Hongtang specifically asked the shop owners to put some water inside the packaging to ensure the animals wouldn't die. She then delivered them to the minivan as quickly as possible before storing them in her spatial storage.

Seeing that the two fishponds were finally full, Hongtang felt satisfied again.

This trip was quite expensive, costing 150 million.
