"Hoo." Exhaling a breath of stale air, Su Ling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. It seemed she needed to practice more.
This level of physical fitness and mental strength was not suitable for survival in the apocalypse.
She went to the courtyard, picked and ate several peaches, and her body, which had been weakened by using fire for various practices, was instantly filled with spiritual energy, banishing fatigue and weakness.
Thus, Su Ling, having opened the door to a new world, began a routine of practicing fire manipulation, eating fruit, practicing fire manipulation, and eating fruit...
Time passed, and Su Ling became proficient in manipulating fire into blades.
Only when the crops and fruits she had planted were ready for harvest did she stop practicing.
Although she had practiced manipulating fire for a long time, she didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she felt refreshed and full of energy.
Emerging from the space, she found that it was already daylight outside.
Su Ling went downstairs. The commotion had ended, and the living room, which should have been in disarray, was spotless.
A note lay on the table. Su Ling glanced at it. It roughly stated that the villa owner should go to the Public Security Bureau upon their return, as the trespassers had been taken there.
She sent a small fireball towards the note, and it instantly turned to ash.
Su Ling turned and went to the kitchen. She caught a chicken and a fish from her space, picked some vegetables and fruits, and took some de-hulled rice, preparing to make herself a sumptuous breakfast from her space.
Because she lived alone and didn't like eating out much, Su Ling had previously taken cooking classes.
She could handle most normal daily meals with relative ease and skill.
As the aroma of cooked rice wafted through the kitchen, Su Ling noticed it was completely different from the usual smell of rice.
The chicken stewing in the pot also released its fragrance, with the two scents vying for dominance, neither giving way.
Surrounded by the aromas, Su Ling gutted and cleaned the fish, preparing to make braised fish.
Soon, three dishes and one soup were served.
Su Ling scooped a bowl of rice, picked up some stir-fried hollow cabbage, and took a bite with the rice, finding it so delicious that she almost swallowed her tongue.
Then she tasted the chicken, tender and falling off the bone, both fresh and succulent.
Next was the braised fish, followed by cucumber salad. Every dish was incredibly delicious. The most ordinary ingredients had created the most exquisite flavors.
Indeed, anything from the space was a top-quality product.
After eating her fill, Su Ling washed the dishes and went upstairs, locking herself in her room.
Her food was secured, but her clothing still needed to be dealt with.
After the apocalypse descended, extreme weather swept in. Summers were scorching hot, drying out the land and killing everything, accompanied by hailstorms, acid rain, and hurricanes. Winters were freezing cold, covered in ice and snow everywhere.
In the first winter after the apocalypse in her previous life, less than a third of those who had survived died of cold.
Su Ling turned on her computer and found a business partner. After a brief communication, the partner recommended a supplier specializing in winter clothing for the north.
Through inquiries, Su Ling learned that the supplier had previously collaborated with the military, so the quality of their winter coats was on par with military uniforms. Besides coats, the supplier also made military boots, which was convenient for Su Ling. After negotiating the price, she placed an order, provided the address, and paid the deposit.
Then, she ordered a large quantity of seeds and other daily necessities online.
Considering that the ordered seeds would take some time to arrive, Su Ling closed her computer and went downstairs, deciding to visit a wholesale market.
She wanted to buy some spice seeds and also look at cattle and sheep.
As usual, she borrowed a pushcart and navigated through the wholesale market, buying a little of anything that caught her eye.
After circling around, the borrowed pushcart was already full of goods.
She loaded the goods into the car, which was actually her transferring them to her portable space, and then drove away from the wholesale market. Passing a barbershop, she parked the car and got out, heading straight for the shop.
