Chapter 10

At noon, the sun hung high in the sky, and the city streets radiated heat. Shangguan Xueying drove her slightly worn van slowly through the bustling traffic.

The van finally came to a stop in front of a five-star restaurant. Shangguan Xueying stepped out gracefully, wearing a simple yet elegant dress, her long hair flowing over her shoulders, her eyes radiating determination and anticipation.

Entering the restaurant, a waiter immediately approached with a professional smile. “Good afternoon, ma’am. How many in your party?”

Shangguan Xueying smiled and replied, “Just me, but I’d like to order 100 portions of every dish on your menu.”

The waiter’s eyes widened in shock, doubting if he had heard correctly. “Ma’am, did you say 100 portions of every dish?”

Shangguan Xueying nodded firmly. “Yes, every single one. Please prepare them as quickly as possible—I’ll eat while I wait.”

The waiter hesitated. “Ma’am, that… that’s a huge order. It might take some time.”

“I understand,” Shangguan Xueying said calmly. “Time isn’t an issue. Just ensure the quality and quantity are correct.”

Not daring to delay, the waiter hurried to consult the manager. Soon, the manager arrived, respectful but curious. “Ma’am, such a large order… may I ask what it’s for?”

Shangguan Xueying answered with composure, “Our company is hosting a large-scale event and we need meals for all participants.”

Although still slightly doubtful, the manager, facing such a major client, said no more and instructed the kitchen to prepare the order with full effort.

Shangguan Xueying found a comfortable seat and began enjoying the dishes as they were brought out. Minute by minute, dishes were packed up, and restaurant staff busily loaded them into the van, which gradually filled.

Finally, all dishes were ready. Shangguan Xueying completed the payment and left.

Next, she went to a nearby hotel. Upon entering, she told the front desk staff, “Hello, I’m placing a corporate order. I need 100 portions of every dish in your hotel.”

The staff were stunned by the enormous quantity, taking a moment to respond. “Ma’am… 100 portions? That will take quite a long time to prepare.”

“No problem,” Shangguan Xueying replied. “I can wait.”

The staff quickly consulted the owner, who emerged with a broad smile. “Ma’am, this is quite a large order. For such a volume, I can offer a discount, but I hope you can pay a deposit first.”

Shangguan Xueying agreed without hesitation, paid the deposit, and waited patiently.

After a long time, all 100 portions were packed and loaded into the van, leaving little space remaining.

Next, Shangguan Xueying entered a bubble tea shop. “Hello, I’d like to place an afternoon tea order for the company—100 portions of every drink you have,” she said.

The staff were shocked. “100 portions? Are you sure, ma’am?”

She nodded. “Yes, please prepare them as quickly as possible.”

The staff scrambled to make and pack the drinks.

Once all the bubble teas were ready and loaded, the van was completely full. Shangguan Xueying looked at the packed vehicle, smiled in satisfaction, and drove to a remote, secluded location.

The area was quiet and devoid of people. She parked, sat in the driver’s seat, closed her eyes, and focused her psychic abilities to carefully survey the surroundings.

Her mental senses spread like invisible tendrils, confirming there was no human presence nearby. She then quickly exited the van and opened the rear doors.

With swift, practiced movements, Shangguan Xueying silently commanded the packed meals and drinks into her hidden space, as if guided by some invisible force.

After securing the items, she didn’t pause for a moment, driving the van to another restaurant, hotel, and bubble tea shop, repeating the process and continuing her massive stockpiling mission.

In a new restaurant, she instructed the staff, “I want 100 portions of each of your signature dishes—please be quick.”

The staff, though surprised, quickly noted her request.

At another hotel, she told the owner, “100 portions of your signature meals, please expedite preparation.”

The owner nodded while curiously observing her.

At yet another bubble tea shop, she said to the busy staff, “100 portions of every drink in the shop, thank you.” Though exhausted, the staff worked diligently to meet her order.

In this way, Shangguan Xueying tirelessly traveled between stores. The van was repeatedly filled and emptied, and the supplies in her hidden space grew increasingly abundant.

As the sun set and the city gradually quieted, Shangguan Xueying’s stockpiling operation continued without pause…
