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

"Hehe, maybe so. I, an old-fashioned person, don't understand the thoughts of you young people."

"Uncle Chen isn't old at all; he looks even younger than Uncle Wang next door." Uncle Wang is the owner of the hardware store next door.

This little girl is lying through her teeth, but Uncle Chen was secretly pleased to hear it, and his lips curled into a wide grin.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Chen, Hongtang returned home, quickly washed up, and got into bed.

Sleep is essential; poor sleep can shorten your lifespan.

Before going to bed, she listed her house on a real estate website to test the waters, hoping to avoid being misled by real estate agents.

Unexpectedly, someone called early the next morning, wanting to come and see the apartment, and Hongtang readily agreed.

Before viewing the apartment, Hongtang packed away items she rarely used, including the bracelet, and kept only the ones she frequently used. She has a habit of making sure she has everything she needs.

For example, when it comes to cooking, although she's not very good at it, she has all sorts of food processors, kitchen utensils, pots, and pans. She has at least 80, if not 100, cookbooks. She also has even more cooking tutorial videos, but unfortunately, she still hasn't learned to cook. Her cooking utensils, however, keep getting more and more expensive and high-end.

For example, outdoor sports, such as mountaineering and camping, skiing and diving, cycling and hiking, surfing and fishing, must have all-season clothing, first aid kits, equipment and tools, which is comparable to a small outdoor store.

Sometimes I have too many items, so I have to sell them on second-hand platforms. My account even became popular for a while.

When the people who came to view the house arrived, they were quite surprised to see that the spacious interior contained only a few pieces of furniture.

Hongtang joked that it was like being able to afford a luxury car but not being able to drive it. She had planned to gradually fill up the house with other necessities, but now she urgently needed money and had to reluctantly give it up. The asking price was 1600 million, no bargaining. Then came a long explanation of how excellent the transportation and amenities were, etc.

The prospective buyer awkwardly touched his nose, introduced himself as a real estate agent, and said he wanted to buy the property for 1500 million.

Since she was an agent, Hongtang became firm, stating that she wouldn't negotiate the price and it was take it or leave it. Actually, 1500 million was already her target price, but she couldn't easily give in.

The real estate agent talked a lot, but when he saw that Hongtang wouldn't budge on the price, he started to hesitate.

Seeing this, Hongtang used her trump card: 1550 million yuan, to be paid in full today upon signing the contract, but she must be given a three-month transition period to move.

According to my sister's prediction, extreme rainstorms will strike in three months. We'll see if it's true then.

The agent immediately made a phone call, and soon returned with a smile, saying that his boss had agreed and they could go to the agency to sign the contract now.

Soon, before noon, Hongtang received a text message notifying her that 1550 million yuan had been deposited into her bank account. She went to complete the transfer procedures that afternoon.

She then asked the real estate agent to recommend a warehouse for a one-month lease to receive various supplies. She ended up renting a warehouse in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city, formerly a water plant. It was over 4000 square meters, and the monthly rent was only 6000 yuan, but there was no surveillance equipment.

By integrating Hongtang's sentiments, she can more easily store the supplies in her storage space.

After settling the warehouse, Hongtang started placing orders on 1688.com, ordering directly from manufacturers.

Water towers, 500 each, weighing 5 tons each, made of plastic and 304 stainless steel, with faucets. The manufacturer, in order to clear inventory, stated that delivery would take 3 days and thoughtfully included 5 x 0.5-ton plastic water towers and 5 x stainless steel water towers as a bonus.

Seeds, of various vegetable types, including leafy greens, root vegetables, melons and solanaceous vegetables, fresh beans, fungi, etc., both common and uncommon, more than 300 kinds, one pound of each kind.

If she hadn't communicated with the manufacturers, she wouldn't have known that there were so many kinds of vegetables.

Seeds of grain crops are essential: 10 jin of each of the following: cereals (rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, millet, oats, etc.), legumes (soybeans, black beans, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, etc.), and tubers (sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.). The manufacturer can provide any additional seeds you can't find. As for seeds that overlap with vegetables, don't worry about that; it won't cost much more.

Fruit tree seedlings are also essential. Hongtang needs to eat fruit with every meal; it's become a habit. The fruit tree supplier directly ordered over 300 varieties of fruit tree seedlings, ready to make a fortune. The temperature is too high now, making transplanting difficult. Hongtang accepted all the offers, emphasizing the need for more sugarcane seedlings. Sugar is a strategic resource; stockpiling more will be useful in the future. Finally, some edible flower and tree seedlings were also added.

Livestock and poultry. This is rather scattered, and Hongtang didn't intend to buy everything. Firstly, she didn't have the funds, and secondly, she wasn't a big meat eater, preferring vegetables. So she only bought chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, beef, lamb, and pork. The manufacturer thoughtfully mentioned that there was a livestock farm on the outskirts of Yangcheng where Hongtang lived, and delivery could be made the next day.

Therefore, livestock and poultry were the first to receive the goods.

Next up are the mechanical items. Hongtang has her plans in mind; with her spatial artifact, she can use it for animal husbandry and agriculture. Seeds and seedlings are all prepared, and the machinery must be arranged as well—she can't till the land by hand.

Another wave of aggressive orders. From tilling the land to harvesting crops, but not limited to shovels, picks, hoes, seeders, rice transplanters, harvesters, sprinklers, weeders, etc.; from hulling to flour, including but not limited to various threshing machines, flour mills, flour grinders, noodle machines, rice noodle machines, instant noodle machines, oil presses, etc.

There are also egg incubators, tofu machines (which can make soy milk, tofu pudding, tofu, and bean curd sheets), soy sauce machines (which can make soybean paste, mushroom sauce, chili sauce, peanut sauce, sesame paste, jam, and hot pot base), sugar making machines, and other machines and tools of all sizes, as well as fully automated simple production lines.

I'll get 10 sets of each of the cheaper ones, which cost 10 or tens of yuan.

For items under 5000 yuan, get 3 sets of each.

Two sets of each item, priced between 5000 and 10,000 yuan.

I'll get one set of each item, ranging from 10,000 to 30,000.

Forget about anything over 3, except for sugar-making machines.

The manufacturer was still enthusiastically recommending various machines and tools. Looking at the ever-increasing price list, Hongtang's face darkened, and she asked the manufacturer for some small tools worth a hundred or so yuan.

We can't buy any more machinery, and we haven't even bought any daily necessities yet.

Sigh, what can I do? She has this weird habit of wanting to "have" everything. After decisively ordering 10 diesel generators, 10 gasoline generators, and a batch of solar power equipment, I promptly shut down the computer.

The total cost for medical equipment was over 240 million, but thankfully we stopped in time, it was almost 250 million.

Direct from the manufacturer, with no middlemen taking a cut, resulting in high cost-performance.

Then I opened Pinduoduo and started buying clothes for all four seasons, underwear, shoes, socks, hats, gloves, etc., buying plenty of things to keep warm and cool. Bedding, quilts, blankets, electric blankets, etc., are also essential. I also stocked up on hand warmers, ice packs, heat patches, and cooling/heating equipment and tools.

These are non-renewable resources, so we need to stockpile more. It cost us nearly 450 million.

That's it for now with the online shopping. Once she receives the goods, she'll erase all traces of the online purchase.

Hehe, besides being an interior designer, Hongtang is also a rather unqualified hacker.

She might not have the ability to attack security agencies, but hacking into a network or tampering with a program would be easy and she wouldn't be caught.

After taking stock of his assets, he spent 700 million yuan on online shopping, 850 million yuan from the sale of his house, plus 500 million yuan in fixed deposits and 48 million yuan in flexible deposits, leaving him with nearly 1350 million yuan in cash.

The bulk of the supplies on the list are food and daily necessities, but medicines, energy, vehicles, and aquatic products are still undelivered.

As for weapons, well, I have no money and no connections. I might be able to get a couple of melee weapons, but I have no ideas about firearms for now.

"Gurgle," came the sound of her stomach, and Hongtang realized that it was already past two in the afternoon and she hadn't had lunch yet.

I can't cook and I didn't want to eat instant noodles, so I ordered takeout.

While waiting, she made two phone calls.
