After deciding what she needed to do in the future, Xie Lingruo first used the scumbag's identity information to rent a warehouse in the suburbs for stockpiling, then looked online for a well-reviewed special training course.
Her plan for the next month was simple:
Morning: gather supplies
Afternoon: train her body
Evening: transport goods to the warehouse
Because, as the saying goes — a strong body is the foundation of the revolution.She needed to do both physical training and resource hoarding in parallel.
What's more, research from future experts showed that people in better physical condition were more likely to awaken superpowers. She hoped to improve her physique quickly, increasing her chances of gaining an ability.
In the original story, both the male and female leads had abilities —
The FL (Lin Yiyi) had water-type powers,
The ML (Zhang Wenbin) had earth-type powers.
If she wanted to get revenge on them one day, she needed power.Unfortunately, she couldn't send them to hell just yet — this was still a law-abiding society, and she didn't want to welcome the apocalypse behind bars.
So she had to make the most of her time.
Xie Lingruo pulled out a pen and paper to list supplies she needed to stockpile.She didn't dare record anything on her phone or computer — too easy to trace.
Modern tech is convenient, but it leaves digital footprints.So she chose the old-school method of handwritten notes.
Her stockpile plan followed the categories of clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.Medicine and weapons couldn't be purchased in bulk, so she'd collect those slowly.
After writing down the list, she withdrew money from the bank, using her personal card.This would make future cash transactions with suppliers more secure.
Her bank balance had around 30 million yuan, and she withdrew 10 million in cash.The amount was so large that the bank staff even asked if she needed an escort — which she quickly declined.
But she did accept their help to carry the cash to her car — after all, she was alone.
It took the entire trunk of her sports car to fit the money.
Once she drove to an isolated spot without cameras or people, she stored all the cash into her space.
Next, she drove the car to a trading hall, exchanged it for 2 million in smaller bills, and used a fake number under the name Lin Yiyi to rent a medium-sized van for a month — her new transport for stockpiling missions.
Before heading anywhere else, she changed into a middle-aged disguise in a restroom, and bought a SIM card that didn't require ID.
That way, even if someone took notice, she wouldn't be easily traced.
Call her paranoid — but right now she was powerless and had to lay low to survive.
After that, she drove her newly rented van to the wholesale market to begin stockpiling rice, flour, and cooking oil — the most essential supplies.
She didn't buy everything from a single store — she spread it out across eight different suppliers:
4,000 jin (2,000 kg) of various types of rice from each
500 jin (250 kg) of flour of different brands from each(She was originally from southern China, so she preferred rice and bought more of it.)
She also bought:
3,000 barrels of cooking oil
1,000 bottles each of sesame oil, chili oil, and oyster sauce
5,000 bags of salt from various shops
8,000 bags of sugar
2,000 bags of other condiments
She even bought 3,000 jin of coarse salt, in case she ended up in a historical mission world later.In ancient times, salt was a government-controlled commodity, so she had to plan ahead.
As for corn, sweet potatoes, black beans, red beans, and other coarse grains — she got 1,000 jin each, even though she didn't like them.Why? In case she landed in a world where food was even scarcer, these might be all she could use.
After buying everything that morning, she paid a 4 million yuan deposit, with 5 million more to be paid upon delivery.She left fake contact info and the warehouse address, then quickly left.
She also staggered the delivery times across the different suppliers — to reduce unwanted attention.
All delivery times were scheduled for various hours at night.
Now that it was noon, she decided to grab a bite at a small roadside restaurant to calm her hunger.
It wasn't the cleanest, but it was cheap — and now she had to save every penny to stock up more supplies.
So for lunch, she just ordered a plate of stir-fried rice noodles and the cheapest bottle of water.
According to the system, she couldn't leave a mission world until the mission body died naturally.
So if she wanted to survive comfortably in the apocalypse, she had to be frugal.
She may look rich now, but when it came to stockpiling —
"Only then do you realize just how little money you really have."
After lunch, she went to the restroom to change out of her disguise and into a sports outfit she had stored in her space — because she was about to meet her trainer.
She'd carefully selected this training gym online — all the instructors were military veterans, some even from special forces. The reviews were excellent, and it was not a scam.
Xie Lingruo didn't cut corners here — she paid a steep 80,000 yuan per month to hire their top-tier coach.
She drove her van to Golden Dragon Training Hall, and soon met her coach.
His surname was Yu, around forty-something, with obvious muscle definition — clearly the real deal.
At first glance, she was satisfied.She came to learn real skills, not flashy poses — those "pretty-boy" trainers didn't interest her.
When she learned that Coach Yu had once been a national martial arts champion, she was thrilled — she'd found a gem.
Due to time constraints, she asked to focus only on free-fighting (MMA) and blade combat.
When Coach Yu first saw Xie Lingruo, he was annoyed — she looked like a spoiled little girl.He assumed she was here to mess around.
But soon her dedication surprised him.
Not only did she complete all assigned drills, she also trained on her own time — and he grew to admire her attitude.
She also showed clear talent for martial arts.If she were younger, he might've even taken her on as a formal disciple.
Meanwhile, the original FL Lin Yiyi had also messaged her to invite her to dinner —But Xie Lingruo blocked her without hesitation.Time was too precious to waste on people like her.
Lin Yiyi never paid for anything when they hung out —The original owner always footed the bill, probably because she had no other friends and placed too much value on Lin Yiyi's fake "friendship."
Looking back, the original owner really had poor judgment.That scumbag Zhang Wenbin had nothing going for him but a face — and every date or outing was paid for by the original Xie Lingruo.
Before the apocalypse, he was already a useless pretty boy living off women.How that man ever became a male lead is beyond her.
