In a frigid apocalypse, I went on a shopping spree with the reborn.

When Jiang Qingyue and her family of four woke up naturally, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

This meal, which was later than lunch but earlier than dinner, was prepared by Long Jiuxing and the two little ones.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Qingyue opened her personal panel.

Jiang Qingyue:

Health stat: 100/100

Satiety level: 69/100

Moisture content: 88/100

Trading currency: 6324100

Space backpack: 8/9 cubic meter

Overall Index: 99999+

The first thing Jiang Qingyue noticed was the satiety level.

Only sixty-nine.

He let out a deep sigh.

"It seems that increasing food reserves is an urgent matter."

She can eat more than a pig these days.

I had hot pot late last night and was so full that I went to bed and suddenly got hungry again.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Then I saw that there were more than six million trading coins, and I was stunned for a moment.

"I have over six million?"

She did the math herself, then slapped her forehead. Yes, there were over six million! She had overlooked something when she first came out of the trading area.

After completing the upgrade of the optical computer, the total reward, including Long Jiuxing's, is four million.

But she received nearly two million from the official trading platform, which, combined with her original amount, brings her to over six million.

Jiang Qingyue was overjoyed when she suddenly remembered the money she had forgotten, as if she had found it for free.

"So, we're only a little over three million coins away from the ten million transaction mark. The pressure feels much less now. Not bad, not bad, there's hope."

He opened the computer and contacted Nangong Zhao.

"I have a special item here—the Goddess Set. It increases your beauty by four points when used. Want to buy it?"

The other party replied almost instantly: "Name your price."

This decisive move caught Jiang Qingyue off guard. How much should she sell it for?

Honestly, this thing is really useless in the apocalypse. Apart from Nangong Zhao, that beautiful and powerful eccentric woman, probably no one would want it.

Jiang Qingyue was also conflicted. If she asked for too little, she wouldn't need the small amount; if she asked for too much, she would be stuck with the unsold goods if the buyer didn't purchase them.

After thinking it over, she said, "Five thousand nine hundred trading coins, or an equivalent number of crystal cores will also work."

Nangong Zhao replied, "Why don't you just rob it?"

It's not the early days of the apocalypse yet, so people's hearts race at the mention of special items, thinking they must all be valuable.

Now everyone has almost figured out that special items have both good and bad aspects.

The second one with a number of nine is undoubtedly a top-quality item.

If the second number is one, then it's better than nothing.

Moreover, in the apocalypse, everyone actually puts survival first. Nangong Zhao cares so much about beauty because her beauty is linked to her strength.

Otherwise, who would be so crazy as to spend so much time getting ready in the dead of winter?

In other words, only Nangong Zhao would be willing to pay a high price for Jiang Qingyue's Goddess Set.

If you were to sell it to someone else, they'd be lucky to get 100 trading coins.

Now Jiang Qingyue is asking for 5,900, which Nangong Zhao thinks is not just a high price, but pure ripping people off.

Jiang Qingyue also felt that she was asking for too much. "How about this, I'll give you a few more pounds of fresh vegetables."

This attitude puzzled Nangong Zhao on the other end. It seemed that Jiang Qingyue was trying to raise the money, as she was just short of 5,900 yuan.

"Captain Jiang, if I give you 5,900, you wouldn't be able to level up to level four right away, would you?"

"No way," Jiang Qingyue replied quickly. "I have mild OCD. The number of coins in the trading section on my personal panel is a bit of an eyesore. I'll use this five thousand to make it round."

Nangong Zhao was speechless for a moment: "At least eight catties of vegetables."

Jiang Qingyue: "Deal."

Nangong Zhao: "The transaction method is still the same as before?"

Just as Jiang Qingyue was about to reply, Xiao Yi, the computer assistant, popped up.

[A friendly reminder from Xiaoyi: After upgrading to Level 3, you can use trading coins to have Xiaoyi run errands and deliver goods for you.]

"You even offer this service? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Jiang Qingyue exclaimed upon hearing this.

He quickly replied to Nangong Zhao, "I'll have my personal computer deliver the items to you; you just need to give it the trading currency."

Then, without waiting, she packed the goddess outfit and eight pounds of different types of vegetables, asking, "Xiao Yi, how should we deliver it?"

[Just spend ten trading coins on the time tunnel fee and then give Xiaoyi one trading coin for the errand fee.]

As expected, there was another charge, but Jiang Qingyue was used to it by now.

If the God of God ever asked for money, she would suspect there was a trap.

"The trading tokens are there, take them yourself."

[Okay, Xiao Yi has paid the time tunnel usage fee for her master. The remaining fee is Xiao Yi's own errand fee, which doesn't need to be paid.]

Xiao Yi controlled the quantum computer to scan the vegetables and the goddess outfit, and everything disappeared.

[Friendly reminder: Xiaoyi will be away for thirteen seconds. During this time, her owner will not be able to find her.]

"How amazing." Jiang Qingyue looked around but did not see the so-called time tunnel.

I think it might be invisible to the naked eye, or it might be in a different dimension.

I checked the personal terminal on my wrist and tried calling out, "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi?"

No response.

However, it returned very quickly.

Thirteen seconds indeed, and it returned to the quantum computer right on time.

[Reporting to Master, the errand has been completed.]

The computer popped out a bag containing 5,900 transaction coins.

"Well done."

Jiang Qingyue noticed that after the computer was upgraded to level three, the butler Xiao Yi seemed less rigid than before.

He tentatively took out two trading coins, "Xiaoyi, you need trading coins too, right? This is a reward for you."

[Yes, yes, thank you, Master. Please feel free to ask if you need anything in the future. Xiao Yi is very fast.]

Jiang Qingyue smiled and handed the transaction coins to the quantum computer. The image of Xiao Yi, a young boy, appeared on the screen and made a grabbing motion.

He grabbed the two small trading coins from Jiang Qingyue's palm and put them into his own pocket.

It's definitely more intelligent than before, Jiang Qingyue confirmed.

The previous Xiaoyi was more like a pre-programmed sequence in a quantum computer.

Now it's like someone who has their own thoughts.

It doesn't feel like a virtual character; it feels more like another person living in a different dimension.

I was just thinking about it.

An unexpected announcement has arrived.

[Congratulations to Jiang Qingyue, the team leader of "Jiang Qingyue's Little Nest," for completing the hidden quest: Reward the AI ​​assistant. The reward is 6 Transaction Coins and a special item—the Item Amplifier.]

The surprise came so suddenly that Jiang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"This is what it means to be fast at one step and fast at every step."

Before upgrading to a Level 3 optical computer, the little butler looked like a program; he didn't run errands and didn't ask for any errand fees.

The impression given is that the housekeeper doesn't need money, so naturally no one would think of rewarding him.

This can be considered an advantage after upgrading to level three ahead of schedule.

"Sister Xiaoyue, you're amazing." Long Jiuxing came over to call her for dinner, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw the announcement.

As expected of her sister Xiaoyue, completing hidden missions is like a daily routine for her.

"Generally good," Jiang Qingyue's grin stretched from ear to ear.

She felt her luck had improved again.

After claiming the reward from the hidden quest, Jiang Qingyue couldn't wait to check her total trading currency: 6389989.

Although the idea of ​​rounding up was not achieved.

But it's still a small step closer to the 10 million mark, which is something to celebrate.

I was just about to study that item amplifier.

The two little ones waiting outside for dinner were already urging us to hurry up.

Jiang Qingyue smiled and took Long Jiuxing's hand, leading him outside. "Let's eat first, don't let the two kids go hungry."

This meal consisted of vegetable porridge.

Long Jiuxing cooked a whole pot of food in that huge pot, and then scooped it out into two large basins and two small basins to let it cool.

When they came out, the temperature was just right.

All four of them were starving.

Two big ones were holding two large basins, and two small ones were holding two small basins.

For a moment, we were so busy that we didn't even have time to talk.

Since the two little ones used the zombie crystal core to become stronger, although they are still cubs, their appetite has been increasing day by day.

The consumption of supplies in the shelter has been visibly accelerating recently.

After dinner, the two kids went to wash the dishes, and Jiang Qingyue turned on the personal terminal again.

Countless people on the world channel are shouting.

"Please bring Jiang Shen."

"Does Jiang Shen still need team members? I'm hardworking and can do anything."

"Jiang Shen, look at me! Look at me, I'm the kind of pure-looking guy with big, well-defined eight-pack abs that's neither skinny nor greasy."

Some are normal.

"I am a doctor in the Department of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. If Captain Jiang's team needs any doctors, I can go to their homes myself."

"..."

In contrast to the bustling world channel, the regional channel in Spring City was eerily silent.

Jiang Qingyue was puzzled. Why was everyone silent?

Is Nangong Zhao even stricter than Wang Dawei?

Although puzzled, Jiang Qingyue didn't think much of it since it wasn't her business.

Xiao Yi was awakened. "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, help me identify this item, the amplifier."

[Okay, Master. The authentication fee of one trading coin has been collected. Authentication is in progress. The results are as follows.]

Detection result: Item: Amplifier, serial number 8561.

8: From the Eighth Experimental Zone

5: Can magnify objects five times.

6: A total of six were released in this experimental area.

1: You are the first person to receive this.

After reading it, Jiang Qingyue couldn't wait to take out a large cabbage from her spatial storage.

This Chinese cabbage is of a particularly good variety; it's a hybrid. Including the outer old leaves, each cabbage typically weighs ten pounds, with some reaching around thirteen pounds. It's the highest-yielding of all their vegetables.

If it could be magnified five times.

That one weighs dozens of kilograms.

The problem of insufficient supplies was solved instantly.

This amplifier is simple and unadorned, looking almost exactly like the handheld magnifying glass we played with as children.

There's a red switch on the handle; push it up gently and shine the light on the cabbage.

moment.

The cabbage, which originally weighed about ten pounds, turned into a large cabbage weighing more than fifty pounds. It was huge, round and plump, as if it had mutated.

"This is a good thing," Jiang Qingyue said, holding the amplifier like a precious treasure.

"Try this." Long Jiuxing handed over his Burning Heaven Fire Staff.

Jiang Qingyue took a magnifying glass and looked at it, but found it was useless.

"Could it be that this amplifier is ineffective on special items? Well, there must be limitations. Otherwise, if it magnifies a trading coin five times, does it count as one or five?"

The two little ones came over after washing the dishes and saw this scene, and looked at each other.

He dashed over there.

He brought over a beef ball.

"This will definitely work." Jiang Qingyue smiled and shone a magnifier on the beef balls.

The round little meatballs instantly transformed into deluxe versions of giant beef meatballs, even larger than a normal apple.

"Chirp chirp!!!" Jiang Qingyan's rabbit eyes were filled with wild joy.

I couldn't wait to bring a few more.

"Chirp chirp chirp." Hurry up, hurry up, make them all big!

"Take it and do it yourself," Jiang Qingyue simply handed the amplifier to Yan Bao.

"You guys enlarge some of the supplies from the shelter first, and we'll use those enlarged ones for now. I need to go check out the zombie breeding base now."

Jiang Qingyue felt that raising zombies was similar to raising fish. Every now and then, she would check if any of them were curious about the outside world and see how quickly the zombie king was getting stronger.

Don't suddenly break through to the fourth tier. What if the chain breaks and you run away?

In addition, they are currently lacking crystal cores, so they need to acquire more crystal cores to boost their strength.

Although there's no reward for being number one on the leaderboard, it gives me a sense of security.

Long Jiuxing: "Sister Xiaoyue, I'll go with you."

"No." Jiang Qingyue stopped her. "Even if that Corpse King breaks through to the fourth level, I can handle it. As for you..."

Jiang Qingyue gave all the crystal cores she had obtained from the official sources to Long Jiuxing, saying, "Use these crystal cores to increase your strength."

"No," Long Jiuxing returned the crystal cores: "Sister Xiaoyue, you use them first. If you use these two million crystal cores, your strength will increase dramatically. In a short period of time, apart from the official side, no one should be able to surpass you."

"If you're strong, then I'm strong too," Jiang Qingyue ruffled her hair like a fluffy rag doll, though it felt a little prickly.

"I can't always be the one to benefit from Wang Dawei's computer, since he let me use it last time."

"Besides, I'm a marksman, so physical strength or weakness doesn't matter. Longlong, you're the mainstay of our team's combat power, so of course we should prioritize improving your combat strength."

"But……"

Seeing that she was about to refuse again, Jiang Qingyue simply said, "Don't you usually listen to everything I say? Why aren't you listening now?"

Long Jiuxing bit his lower lip and whispered, "I didn't disobey."

"Good boy/girl," Jiang Qingyue coaxed. "Given the current situation, the four of us are going to live together for the rest of our lives. Don't worry about such things. You can use it now, and I can use it when we have more crystal cores next time."

"Like those fur slippers, if they fit Yanbao, let Yanbao wear them first. Next time we get a pair that fits the little one, we can give them to her."

Long Jiuxing hugged her waist, nuzzled her head against her shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, thank you, Sister Xiaoyue."

"No need to thank me, just focus on improving your strength. It's late today, so I won't chop wood anymore. I'll go check on the zombies and then make some cooked food to put in my space. When I don't have time to cook in the future, I can just take it out and eat it ready-made. Anyway, it's kept fresh inside, so it'll be exactly the same as what I put in."

"In case I travel far away in the future, I won't have to eat dry biscuits."

After Jiang Qingyue went out, she still carried the Snow Shadow Bow in her hand.

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," and there are countless examples throughout history of even the strongest people capsizing in the gutter.

Although her shelter is the only one nearby, some people whose bodies have been enhanced are now able to travel far and might come over.

In addition, the main god also released a number of strange beasts.

There might be one strange beast, Yanbao, nearby, or there could be more.

If we launch a surprise attack, we might just give her a hard time.

If you were to be ambushed and killed by a monster cub right at your doorstep because of a moment of carelessness, that would be a truly humiliating death.

They're definitely the kind of people who would give up reincarnation to come back and seek revenge.

suddenly.

A gust of wind swept in from the side.

This greatly surprised Jiang Qing.

Could I really be that unlucky?

Before his mind could even process it, his hand instinctively raised the bow and drew the string.

In an instant, the power of ice and snow in the world transformed into an ice-blue arrow.

The fingers loosened.

It was fired at the attacker.
