Chapter 5 Stocking up
The next day at daybreak, Yu Yao cleaned the house thoroughly.
They went directly to a broker surnamed Chen and rented three large warehouses connected together in a remote location.
Immediately afterwards, they made a call to order water tanks and water towers, ordering 500 stainless steel water tanks with a capacity of 5 tons each, which are used for domestic water supply.
200 units, each with a capacity of 3 tons, are used to store drinking water.
They also ordered a large quantity of water buckets, water bags, water towers, filters, water purifiers, and water purification tablets in various sizes.
After the discount, it cost less than 700,000 yuan, with a deposit of 100,000 yuan.
They agreed that the goods would be delivered to her door and the balance would be paid within a month. Yu Yao then hung up the phone.
There are also monocrystalline silicon solar charging panels that support USB fast charging and can be used as power banks, as well as various models of batteries, storage batteries, and generators.
Then, I can buy some solar charging panels, wind power generation equipment, and other power generation equipment for free, and I will be able to use electricity freely.
Next came stackable shelves, as well as winter clothes, winter shoes, thick quilts, and four-piece bedding sets.
It's still summer, so few stores will stock up on winter clothes and thick blankets. You have to order in advance to avoid not being able to buy them for free later.
After making all the order calls, Yu Yao called her counselor and requested a two-month extension of her leave without going through the complicated leave-of-absence procedures.
The counselor was aware of Yu Yao's family situation, and after offering her a few words of comfort, agreed to Yu Yao's request without any hesitation.
While on the phone, she also placed a flurry of orders on Taobao and JD.com.
They purchased large quantities of snacks, instant foods, clothing, shoes, hats, and disposable underwear.
Disposable face towels, face wipes, skin care products, toiletries, sanitary napkins of various brands and sizes, bedding, and so on.
These were all purchased within the platform's limits. The reason I went to such great lengths to buy these is to ensure that even if I can't immediately purchase them for free, I can still make a living.
I closed Taobao and ordered 200 10TB hard drives from JD.com.
I bought ten of the latest PSPs and ten PS5s, and paid extra to have the store install various games on them.
These cost her another million.
After placing the order, Yu Yao rubbed her sore temples and took out the leftover barbecue from yesterday to eat a quick bite.
Then she changed into a set of her mother's old clothes that she had found in the old house, and put on a hat and a mask.
He put all his few personal belongings into the storage space and hid the key under the doormat.
She wasn't home to prevent real estate agents from bringing people to view the property.
After doing all this, I quickly went out the door and took a taxi to the nearest car rental company.
I rented a van with privacy film for 2,000 yuan and headed straight to the farmers' market.
At the farmers' market, she did not buy a lot of supplies. Instead, she used the excuse of company welfare to buy 500 jin of each type of rice and flour.
I bought a lot of various beans, and 50 boxes each of various seasonings, spices and dried goods.
I ordered 200 jin each of fresh vegetables and fruits from the farmers' market.
Ten pigs, ten cattle, and ten sheep were slaughtered, and their parts were cut up and placed in their respective categories.
There are 50 chickens, 50 ducks, 50 geese, and 50 rabbits, all of which have been slaughtered and cleaned.
I also bought quite a few disassembled parts such as wings, legs, neck, internal organs, chest, collarbone, and skeleton.
They also bought eggs, not only 2000 of each type of fresh egg, but also braised eggs, salted duck eggs, preserved eggs, and quail eggs.
In addition, there are various flavors of hot pot base, braised meat base, and all kinds of ready-made cooking bases, meat sauce, chili sauce, mushroom sauce, etc.
Orders were placed in bulk, dozens of boxes at a time, and all orders were sent to the warehouse together.
When Yu Yao came out of the farmers' market, there was still plenty of time before the agreed delivery time, so she went straight to the nearest supermarket and started shopping with her shopping cart.
After leaving one supermarket, I changed my clothes and drove to another supermarket.
Every time she goes out, she's carrying three or four large shopping bags full.
Not just supermarkets, but also pharmacies, clothing stores, maternity and baby stores, and seed stores.
Wherever she passed by, she would go in for a stroll, then come out carrying large and small bags of things and return to the van.
We don't go into great detail; our main focus is speed and efficiency!
In the evening, she went to the rented warehouse and entered the password to unlock it.
They carefully checked the warehouse and were relieved to find no surveillance cameras.
While waiting for the goods to arrive, she started ordering takeout on her phone again.
For any restaurant with a rating above 4.0, she ordered ten servings of all the food, and all the addresses were outside the warehouse park.
Don't ask, it's just team building.
Soon, goods began to arrive at the farmers' market one after another.
After seeing off all the delivery personnel, Yu Yao closed the warehouse door and put all the supplies into the warehouse space.
She needs to store items in her warehouse space through the system's inventory, which is a bit of a hassle.
Fortunately, all the delivered goods were in boxes. As long as the items were in boxes, they could be stacked up to 999 of the same type, which was a bug that was exploited.
There will be no issue of insufficient backpack compartments for the time being.
Furthermore, she intentionally trained her mental strength while collecting supplies, making her collection speed faster and faster.
In the end, packing the items into her backpack and then into the warehouse was just a matter of a thought, minimizing any inconvenience in between.
As she collected more and more goods, Yu Yao found that she no longer needed to touch each item individually to collect the supplies.
Instead, it can be achieved through the outward projection of mental power, that is, through the contact of spiritual power, to achieve the goal of harvesting from a distance.
Although her mental strength was not as solid and powerful as that of a true mental ability user after the apocalypse, it could not play a substantial role.
But its advantage lies in its rapid and wide spread.
Moreover, as she uses more and more mental energy, the distance she can reach will become longer and longer.
This ability to collect data remotely...
A bold idea suddenly formed in my mind!
......
While waiting for her takeout, Yu Yao began to calculate her remaining funds and missing supplies, and finalized her shopping plan for tomorrow.
At 9 p.m., the food deliveries started arriving one after another.
Occasionally, when delivery drivers bump into each other, they are surprised to find that the recipient is the same person.
Yu Yao gave a unified reply, saying that the workers in the park were having team building activities.
Who cares if it's true or false? Nobody cares.
That night, one-fifth of the food delivery workers in Haicheng came to this remote warehouse park.
Yu Yao also received hundreds of meals as she wished, including dumplings, noodles, snacks, milk tea, cakes, rice noodles, spicy hot pot, fried chicken, hamburgers, pizzas, and sushi.
It was already past midnight when I finished collecting the last takeout order.
Yu Yao casually took a bite of a hamburger and drove to the night market.
She didn't have much capital and wasn't planning to stockpile goods in China, so she could only break things down into smaller, smaller operations.
This is a bit troublesome, but it also has its advantages: no one will be watching her for the time being.
When she arrived at the night market, she bought things as she walked.
I buy several portions of each snack, and when I can't carry them all, I put them back in the van and store them in my storage space, then change my outfit and continue my rampage.
On this day, excluding the final payment, Yu Yao spent nearly two million.
Money really doesn't last long, but looking at the supplies in the warehouse, Yu Yao felt much more confident.
For the next ten days, Yu Yao was either on her way to stock up on goods or on her way to receive them.
Fruits and meats, grains and seasonings, fresh vegetables and dried goods, fish and seafood.
Besides the ones ordered on the first day, I also bought quite a few more in small batches later.
I visit supermarkets, pharmacies, and outdoor equipment stores every day, switching between them.
I bought almost everything on her list. The rest was just ordering takeout, packing meals, cooked food, snacks, drinks, and cakes and pastries.
She has a sweet tooth; even on such a tough day, she needs sweet food and milk tea to brighten things up.
So she has visited almost every cake shop, milk tea shop, dessert shop, ice cream shop, and snack shop in the city more than ten times.
Each time, she would use excuses such as booking afternoon tea for her colleagues, team building activities, or supporting her favorite celebrities.
It swallowed up their daily sales volume.
They also stocked up on a lot of tools and ingredients for making desserts and drinks, just in case they can't eat them in the future.
You could say they worked incredibly hard.
Her old house has also been sold, and they have agreed to move in within two months.
She received 3.1 million yuan, but spent it before she could even enjoy it. Now she only has less than 300,000 yuan left for emergencies.
After a period of busy work, with forty days left until the apocalypse, Yu Yao has received everything she ordered except for the water tank.
Now, she has very little money left, and it's difficult for her to satisfy her shopping spree needs in China anymore.
Just think about your ability to remotely collect supplies...
Overseas became her next target.
