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

There are about 370 million left.

It must all be spent!

It was too hot to go out, so Hongtang went into any shops that caught her eye on her way home and bought something along the way.

I passed by a pharmacy and bought some medicine for colds, inflammation, and heatstroke.

Passing by a building materials store, she saw beautiful wallpaper, wall coverings, curtains, paint, etc. She had to buy these; her professional habit made her unable to resist these things, and she always had to buy them and study them when she saw something good.

I bought some from a deli I passed by. I don't usually eat it, but who knows if I might want to try it someday? Then it might be hard to find anywhere else.

Passing by a cold drink wholesale store, I bought more than a dozen boxes of popsicles, ice cream, and other frozen treats.

I passed by a bubble tea shop, and thought, "Oh well, I'll just buy the machine and ingredients online and try making it when I want to."

Passing by a hardware store, I picked up whatever caught my eye: shower heads, faucets, locks, switches and sockets, chainsaws, roller brushes, coal stoves, pliers, screws, paint, light bulbs, water pipes, etc.

We'll replenish our stock of thick clothes, pants, shoes, and socks that are on sale off-season.

When they encountered a water deliveryman, they went with him and bought another 200 cases of bottled mineral water.

When passing by a fruit stand, I would specifically choose varieties that weren't available elsewhere, buy them, eat the fruit, and plant the seeds.

At the department store, buy as much dried fruit, dried vegetables, and salted eggs as you can. The same goes for bottled liquor and vinegar; don't let a single drop go to waste. These are useful for both consumption and disinfection. Also, get some disinfection supplies.

Seeing a big customer, a tissue vendor came over to promote their products. These items were all available in the space, but more was always better. So, another wave of toilet paper, tissues, sanitary napkins, and wet wipes was stocked up.

Bookstores should stock up on stories, novels, classics, cookbooks, medicinal cuisine, and books on planting and animal husbandry—anything you don't already own.

Hongtang buys whatever it takes as it goes, its main selling point being a carefree and spontaneous lifestyle.

Actually, she really wanted to stock up on coal, but Yangcheng, a southern city, is hot all year round and there's no coal for sale there. She'd have to go to Jincheng, but she can't go right now. She previously bought coconut shell coal, as well as walnut charcoal, jujube pit charcoal, olive charcoal, and longan charcoal online, intending to use them for brewing tea later. If needed, she'll take them out and use them in advance.

As for coal, we'll see what happens in the future; it's all about fate.

Finally home, my long-sleeved t-shirt was soaked with sweat. I took a shower and changed into a cool tank top. I checked the temperature: 49.5°C, almost 50°C! I promptly took out the heater and used it.

Ha Ge came over and meowed. "You've left me, a cat, all alone at home, and you won't change my cat food or anyone else's. Are you trying to starve me to death?"

"Brother Ha, Daddy went out hunting for you today, so you'll have lots of fish to eat from now on."

Hongtang's consciousness entered the space, intending to scoop out two small fish to feed Ha Ge. However, she saw several fish floating belly-up on the surface of each of the two ponds, dead.

Hongtang, “…” How come I didn’t notice this before? Will the rest die, especially the sea fish? It’s filled with fresh water.

Exiting consciousness, Hongtang re-entered the space, and incidentally pulled Ha Ge in as well.

This is HaGe's third time entering the space. Compared to the previous two times, it is now able to calmly accept being in this unfamiliar place.

Seemingly smelling fish, Brother Ha darted towards the fishpond.

Hongtang chuckled and followed. But when she reached the fishpond, her smile vanished.

"Brother Ha, stop! You're going to electrocute all the fish!" The first thing Hongtang saw when she came in was Brother Ha stretching out his little paws and generating electricity in the freshwater pond.

Hongtang was heartbroken; her shrimp! Why didn't Brother Ha electrocute the pond?

Fortunately, Ha Ge is still young, and his "lightning-type ability" level is not very high. A few electric shocks are not fatal to the fish and shrimp, and he seems to be more lively than before.

Ha-ge, "Meow~ Meow!"

Silly woman, I'm kindly giving them energy so they'll live longer and be healthier. Get out of my way, don't interrupt my work.

"Stop yelling. I just forgot to feed you this morning. Look, these delicious fish are your lunch."

Hongtang used her mental power to scoop the fish out of the water and throw them next to Ha Ge.

Ha Ge: I've worked myself to the bone raising them, and this is what you feed me? Besides, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and you're still talking about lunch? I haven't even had breakfast yet!

Alright, I've seen through you these past few days. The fact that you're willing to support me is a blessing I've accumulated over several lifetimes. I can't have too high expectations of you.

Ha Ge meowed proudly, then turned and ran back to the seawater pond, once again stretching out his little paws to flick his electric charm.

Hongtang suffered another heart attack. Before she could stop Ha Ge, he retracted his claws, leaped around a few times, and came over to eat the fish.

Ha Ge: Mmm, this fish is so delicious, so fresh! Meow Meow, I hereby declare that I've taken over these two fish ponds!

After Ha Ge finished his meal, the two of them left the space.

"Sister, please leave a message for me in Xishir. I need to buy another 500 Ice Source Stones and 500 Heat Source Stones."

It's just 1000 million dimensional coins. She'll soon have 4000 million dimensional coins, so she can afford it.

[Host, the other party has upgraded to a level three merchant and has the shelf function. You can place an order directly now.]

"Then place the order for me. By the way, when are we going to upgrade to level three?"

[Host, I was just about to tell you that we received a bad review. Fortunately, when the system merged with the space, we were given a chance to "exempt ourselves from the bad review."]

"Hmm, what's going on?!"

"It is..." Before my sister could explain in detail, the doorbell rang.

"Ring ring! A distinguished guest has arrived!"

"Ring ring! A distinguished guest has arrived!"

Hongtang quickly turned on the air conditioner and put the cooling furnace back into her spatial storage. Only after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the room did she open the door.

"Come, come, who is it?"

They were two police officers. One was tall and the other was short.

Hongtang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression. "Who are you looking for?"

Could it be that I was caught doing a good deed by helping an old lady pick up her cane at the department store this afternoon?

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Hongtang?"

"It's me. What do you need?" I'm a law-abiding citizen, and I haven't done anything illegal or disorderly.

The tall policeman waved his police ID in his hand. "I am Chen Jinghe from Yangcheng District Public Security Bureau. This is Xiao Zhang. We are investigating a premeditated murder case and need Ms. Hong's cooperation."

"A murder case? Who died?" Hongtang was even more surprised and confused. What did this have to do with her? Nevertheless, she invited the two of them in.

"Please come in, officers. It's too hot outside." They were wearing thick police uniforms in this sweltering heat, and their faces were dripping with sweat.

I poured each of them a glass of ice water and gave them wet wipes to wipe their faces. Only then did the three of them get down to business.

"Miss Hong's air conditioner seems cooler than most homes. What brand is it?" Officer Chen asked first.

Hongtang felt a chill run down her spine; this Officer Chen was quite perceptive.

Fortunately, I had put the refrigeration unit away.
