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

Hongtang: "Really?! I'll take it. Give me a set. How many dimensional coins?"

"Not much, not much. Considering our friendship, I'll give you a 8% discount, 1 million interdimensional coins."

Hehe, the last set of infrastructure robots in my hands has finally been sold. Dad will never scold me for being half-hearted and not doing my job again. Hoss breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

I'm also very confused as to why my dad doesn't agree to me starting a fruit and vegetable wholesale business. Last time I only mentioned it to him briefly, and he immediately shut me down, even though he clearly likes those fruits and vegetables.

1 million interdimensional coins? Why don't you just rob someone?

"Sister, how many dimensional coins do we have now?" Hongtang asked her sister in her mind.

[Host, you currently have 7543 million, and are short 2457 million. You can use 'installment payments,' and you currently have a quota of 1 million.]

Hongtang: Did the system know that I was going to spend 1 million today, so it gave me this function and the limit?

Sister: No, no, this is absolutely a coincidence!

"Okay, I'll take your robot. If it doesn't work well, I'll return it." Hongtang gritted her teeth and bought it!

It's just 1 million. She has so many fruits, vegetables, and grains; if that's not enough, she can expand her planting. But she can't touch meat, poultry, or medicinal herbs for now, as she's lacking those too.

Hoss's face lit up with a smile, he was secretly delighted. "No problem, I'll ship it to you right now, and I'll also throw in 10 Originium. Originium is the energy to power up these robots. Each Originium costs only 1 Plane Coins. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need it."

Hongtang: Goodness, another one selling stones as a side business! But the price of Originium is quite uniform, all at 1 per stone.

So what if you guys are good at making money?

No, her fruits and vegetables need to be priced higher!

Sister: Host, how many times have you raised prices now?

Hongtang was pleasantly surprised to receive the robots. Seven giant mecha robots, each three meters tall, stood in a row on the wide grassy field. The sheer number and imposing presence of them was like a vast army, quite intimidating to behold.

And they were all stored in a space button the size of a ring—it's amazing.

A storage button? Hongtang remembers Xixier mentioning that her extreme cold gear included a "storage girl," she wonders if it's the same thing. She'll buy one when she has the money.

Hongtang checked the robots one by one according to the user manual. They were bridge-building robot, road-paving robot, exploration robot, excavation robot, crane robot, transportation robot, and construction robot.

To use, embed the Originium into the interface on the robot's chest, and the robot can begin working according to instructions. Humans can also enter the robot's internal cockpit to operate it, but the operator must possess mental power.

Isn't this a perfect coincidence?

Hongtang didn't enter the cockpit. She gave the crane robot instructions, and it easily lifted the 5.8-ton Knight XV and the 11-ton Normadison.

"That's great!" Hongtang exclaimed, her eyes sparkling, giving it a big thumbs up.

She then found an open space in the distance and tested several other robots in turn, none of which disappointed her.

Hongtang stroked her chin thoughtfully, "It seems there's a reason why they're expensive. The quality of goods on the interdimensional trading system is still guaranteed."

Seeing that Hongtang had finished her work and entered the small white building, her younger sister suddenly spoke.

[Host, would you like to know the method for fusing spatial energy stones?]

Hongtang: "I want to, I really want to. How can we integrate?" Why do all the good things happen at once?

[My sister doesn't know the specifics, but it should be related to the ruler of the interstellar plane. During her recent upgrade, she learned through the 'main system' that the ruler had lost a spatial energy stone containing one-tenth of his energy. If they possessed that energy, the Seventh Interstellar Civilization would be practically invincible.]

Wow! Wow! Wow!

She's definitely a chosen one, a darling of heaven! The heavens actually gave her such a powerful advantage?! She has to seize it!

"Little sister, get to the point, how exactly do we fuse them?"

[My sister doesn't know either, but she just feels that the host should wear the spatial energy stone on their person in order to have a chance to trigger the fusion conditions.]

Hongtang nodded. Last time, she inexplicably gained energy, and she was just watching and playing with it. Now that it was stored in her space, she didn't even have a chance to merge with it.

“You’re right. I’ll find a sturdy leather rope and tie it around its neck. Maybe one day it will figure things out and merge with me on its own.”

After doing all this, Hongtang returned to her bedroom in the little white building, washed up, went to sleep, and had a sweet dream all night.

In her dream, she dreamt that she had become the ruler of a plane...

Sister, "..." I'm left all alone toiling in this space, sob sob.

Hongtang stayed in the space for three days before finally emerging. She planned to go to Metro to take a look.

这期间她只会在早晨、中午、晚上等几个时间段出来测量一下温度，发现中午12:00~下午4:00之间的温度最高，在70c及以上，晚上温度有所下降，在55c左右。其余时间温度在60~70c之间。

In short, the temperature drops as night falls.

People dare not go out during the day. If they are exposed to the sun, they will be tanned to a crisp and their skin will sting unbearably as if it has been corroded.

Didn't you see the asphalt roads and car tires melted in the sun? Even the better quality ones warped from the heat.

Hongtang stood by the window and looked out. There was no one on the road, and the construction sites around had long since stopped operating, and the usual noise was gone.

The plants in the roadside green belts drooped listlessly, their yellowing leaves looking as if they could be set ablaze by the sun. But occasionally, there were still some that were glossy and lush green.

Hongtang looked on with great interest. "This is definitely a heat-resistant plant. I wonder if I can put it directly into my space."

She hasn't tried moving plants that grow in the ground directly into the space yet; she'll try it tonight.

Hongtang only came out of the office after the sun had set.

The dozen or so companies that were doing renovations have all stopped work. Occasionally, you can see a few workers who haven't left, casually lying on the floor to rest.

The supermarket on the first floor was also emptied and locked. As for how many people were still on the 31st and 32nd floors, Hongtang didn't count carefully, but she sensed about ten people through her mental power.

As for the other companies inside, they had already sent their employees to work from home.

So there are at most 20 people in this office building now.

The road was deformed, so the car was definitely not drivable. Hongtang found a secluded spot and took out a mountain bike.

It takes about 20 minutes to cycle to Metro, a distance of 5 kilometers.

Despite being fully equipped with protective gear, Hongtang was drenched in sweat by the time she arrived at Metro. She regretted not riding her electric scooter; she had one she'd stockpiled but hadn't used yet.

Once inside the supermarket, the cool air from the air conditioner blew in her face, and Hongtang finally felt comfortable.

But the supermarket was already packed with people who had come from far away to "buy goods," mainly grains, oils, rice, flour, and other food items.

Looking at the prices, Chinese cabbage has risen to 25 yuan per jin (500g), meaning a single head costs over 100 yuan. Rice prices are even more outrageous, with a five-kilogram bag costing 1,000 yuan. And that's not even something everyone can buy.

Looking at the throngs of people, the increasingly chaotic and noisy crowd rushing to buy, a bad feeling lingered in my heart.

Hongtang hurriedly retreated to the less crowded "cleaning and washing area".

Before I had gone far, I heard a loud crashing sound coming from behind me.
