Chapter 436: Chapter 436

What’s the meaning of "pluck feathers from the flying goose"? Jing Shu epitomized that idiom. She crammed anything of even the slightest value into her space without squandering a single item, based on the excellent tradition of not being wasteful. To put it bluntly, many of these things were now out of print! They were the most precious resources in the apocalypse!

Jing Shu didn’t spare anything, not even the shower gels, shampoos, or the pure crystal faucets!

She stumbled upon an even more advanced bacterial solar power generator, which delighted Jing Shu for a long time. As her home and business grew, the existing bacterial solar power was no longer sufficient, so it was like someone brought a pillow to her just as she was dozing off.

She looted unopened high-quality latex mattresses, the most luxurious eiderdown pillows, and other luxury living goods. Jing Shu took anything that was unopened. Even the opulent bedding and branded thick clothes laid out in the rooms and on the beds were taken to be given away as gifts, which she thought was a wonderful idea.

After all, having traveled to the United States, shouldn’t she bring some gifts for all the elder aunts? But... ahem, many items are marked ’Made in Huaxia.’ I wonder if they’ll suspect I didn’t actually go abroad, seeing as the gifts I brought back are made in Huaxia.

Jing Shu searched but couldn’t find commonplace items like toilet paper. She then realized that the tycoon’s household used smart toilets with water spray and drying functions, eliminating the need for paper. On the other hand, high-quality dining cloths were abundant, which Jing Shu decided to take back, intending to use them as wiping rags. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Before the space was fully stuffed, Jing Shu also crammed in the exquisitely luxurious furniture. She always harbored the extravagant wish that after the Magic Cube Space was unsealed to a much larger size, it could eventually become her shelter. Wouldn’t it be great to decorate it then?

Imagine cute little gaggling food creatures before my eyes, a vibrant spread of vegetables at my feet, bees diligently gathering honey, and luxury furniture with a comfy bed behind me. Even if the Earth were truly doomed, my family would have a place to live and could continue to be happy. The apocalypse wouldn’t be the end of the world then.

Of course, if I need more space later on, I’ll just clear it out. There are still some non-essentials in my space, like those two massive snakes that take up a lot of room, always performing their... ’mosaiced’ activities.

However, Jing Shu always wondered why the kitchen, though large and filled with a lot of food, seemed to lack something. It was not until her second search in the fridge for more items to take that she discovered the frosted panel of the refrigerator was actually a door.

Don’t ask why Jing Shu searched again; the answer is simply that she is bold, meticulous, and responsible.

But who could have expected there to be another door inside the fridge?

The door opened smoothly, and Jing Shu entered the secret chamber, a large freezer room. She wrapped her thick coat tighter around herself and exhaled, immediately stunned by the array of foods and various items set before her! Compared with the opulence she had seen before, this place was on an entirely different level of grandeur!

It seemed to house all the rarest foods in the world, likely collected after the apocalypse. Although she didn’t know where the wealthy owner had gone, since no one is around... they’ll all be mine now! Of course, I’ll pick out some to share with my teammates.

There were no ordinary foods here, no rice or wheat. Jing Shu first laid eyes on a two-meter-tall glass container filled with red, dried-up, chrysanthemum-like flowers, which bore a label that translated to:

"Bloody Chrysanthemums. For drinking: Brew as tea."

Huh?? What the heck? Just as Jing Shu puzzled over it, she saw some fine print below, which translated roughly to: Prime Saffron.

Jing Shu swallowed. Holy shit, this is a jackpot!

Saffron is not from Tibet; the more famous variety comes from the Modu area. It grows in very few regions around the world, and after drying tens of thousands of stigmas, one gets only a tiny amount. The global yield is extremely low. Considering its unique medicinal effects, this means that truly wild, handcrafted Saffron costs astronomical figures per gram.

Jing Shu looked up. How much could this be? Is this the world’s entire annual yield, plundered? I’ve always wanted to grow this stuff, but I never did because the yield is too low and it’s too much hassle. Well, now I won’t need to bother for the entire apocalypse.

Is this... ginseng? Damn, is this ginseng free? Huh? What’s this?

This is actually the stem cell vaccine Yang Yang mentioned before, and it’s the premium kind! So much of it? Taking this back will make us rich! It’s also a good explanation for why my family looks so radiant and full of vitality during the apocalypse. People who sell medicine really are wealthy, preparing so many things for themselves.

Without further ado, Jing Shu pried everything away and continued further inside. She saw various strange foods that required refrigeration or freezing. In this place, there were plenty of high-end ingredients that Jing Shu could not name. The caviar, of which there had only been a small box at that luxurious event, was piled as high as a person here.

There were also ingredients that Jing Shu couldn’t even comprehend, such as the world’s most luxurious blueberry cheese, which was a type of moldy cheese. Although she didn’t know how to eat it, Jing Shu still cleaned out all the refrigerated shelves, neatly packing everything into the Magic Cube Space to study when she got back.

The space was packed full. It wasn’t just full; it was overflowing. Jing Shu had to pick out some unwanted trash and even use wrapping to pack it all up just to fit everything in. Glancing at the time—Oh no, I’m already way past the agreed-upon time!

Jing Shu gathered herself, carrying a dozen or so parcels and dragging the still-unconscious Hao Yunlai, ready to leave the mansion and execute Plan B.

At this moment, although the robots were covered with cloth, they still followed behind Jing Shu, which was annoying. Jing Shu, who apparently only knew how to say ’stop’ in English, eventually let them be. Am I going to let these robots follow me back to Huaxia? Maybe they’ll stop if they run out of power, right?

However, as Jing Shu passed by the large outdoor swimming pool with its extremely huge screen, the screen that had been showing pre-apocalypse bikini scenes suddenly went black.

The robot also made a sound, which Jing Shu didn’t understand. Before she had a chance to consult her translator, the entire screen suddenly lit up, and a middle-aged gentleman appeared on the screen, wearing a mask and speaking with an altered voice.

Jing Shu was startled. What is going on?

The background behind the middle-aged gentleman was all too familiar to Jing Shu. Isn’t that the hall of this very mansion?

Jing Shu ran outside warily. This is definitely not a good sign.

But at this moment, the middle-aged man on the screen had already begun to speak. His voice was so loud that Jing Shu, despite running quickly, could still hear its magnetic quality.
