Chapter 2: Stock Up, Shop Till You Drop

As night fell, Wu Xiuxiu emerged from the wholesale market, her face beaming with joy.

The feeling of shopping was truly exhilarating. Finally, she understood why wealthy people loved to shop.

She had spent three hours in the wholesale market, buying for three hours straight, and had practically emptied the entire place.

She visited every shop in the market, asking the owners how much stock they had and then declaring she wanted it all.

All the owners were stunned, their shock quickly turning into elation. Without exception, they treated her like a goddess of fortune, their enthusiasm and reverence were simply delightful.

Learning that the wholesale market had a warehouse area where all the owners had their own storage units, she told them she didn’t need them to deliver the goods.

She instructed each owner to pack all her purchases and have them ready in the warehouse by midnight. She would arrange for a truck to pick them up during the night, and she didn’t want anyone present when the truck arrived. Therefore, the warehouse was to be completely empty after ten o’clock, and she needed the keys.

While the owners found her request strange, they all agreed.

After all, she had already paid for all the goods, allowing them to sell out their entire stock and make a fortune. She was their lucky star, so any peculiar request she had would be fulfilled.

The reason for her strange request was simple: she was short on time and couldn’t find a warehouse large enough to hold all the goods she had purchased.

Therefore, she decided against renting a warehouse and instead took the keys from the owners, intending to collect the goods and store them in her personal space.

That’s why she asked them to pack everything in the warehouse by midnight, ensure no one was present after midnight, and give her the keys.

Although most warehouses had cameras, she had received a text message from the power company earlier that day, stating that there would be a city-wide power outage from midnight until nine in the morning. They apologized for the inconvenience.

Therefore, she wouldn’t have to worry about cameras capturing her storing the goods in her space.

However, she did have one worry: even after buying everything in the wholesale market, she still had over 50 million yuan left in her account. She had no idea how to spend it all.

She needed to figure out how to spend this 50 million before she transmigrated, not a single cent left over.

This world’s currency wouldn’t be useful in the 1970s. Leaving it behind would only benefit others.

If someone discovered it after her death, reported it to the police, and the police, during their investigation, contacted her scumbag father and wicked stepmother in the countryside, informing them of the money in her account, she would be furious.

She didn’t want to give her money to those who had treated her so poorly.

Therefore, she needed to spend every last cent. Alas, this world’s money would be useless in the 1970s, otherwise, she could have brought it with her.

It was already past seven o’clock, time for dinner. Wu Xiuxiu decided to indulge in a luxurious French meal at a renowned high-end restaurant.

She had always dreamed of experiencing a world-famous French dinner, but she couldn’t afford it before. Now that she had the money, she was going to fulfill her wish immediately.

If she didn’t do it now, she wouldn’t have the chance later.

There wouldn’t be any high-end French restaurants in the 1970s, not even ordinary privately owned ones. All restaurants and hotels would be state-owned, serving only Chinese cuisine.

Upon arriving at the French restaurant, Wu Xiuxiu ordered the most expensive items on the menu, including all the famous French dishes: foie gras, oyster cups, escargots, Poulet Marengo, Poulet de Bresse, onion soup, steak au poivre, and bouillabaisse.

The restaurant staff was shocked that she was ordering so much food for herself, worried she wouldn’t be able to finish it. However, they didn’t discourage her, the more she ordered, the more they earned.

As expected, Wu Xiuxiu couldn’t finish everything. She packed the leftovers to take home and store in her space.

Remembering that her space had a preservation function, keeping things fresh no matter how long they were stored, Wu Xiuxiu ordered every dish and dessert on the menu, requesting one thousand portions of each. After all, she had plenty of money and needed to spend it recklessly.

The restaurant staff was dumbfounded, calling the manager immediately. This was a huge order, they couldn’t handle it, and the manager had to make the decision.

When the manager arrived, he saw Wu Xiuxiu dressed in ordinary clothes, not looking like someone who could afford to order so much food.

Wu Xiuxiu noticed his skepticism and immediately paid him 100,000 yuan to prove her financial capability. Only then did the manager believe her.

He immediately agreed. He wouldn’t be a fool to refuse money. Although he didn’t understand why she ordered so much, he accepted the order.

But when he heard that Wu Xiuxiu wanted the food delivered to her home by noon the next day, he was troubled. Even if they worked through the night, they wouldn’t be able to finish everything by noon. Wu Xiuxiu offered triple the price.

Hearing that she was willing to pay triple, the manager agreed. He immediately contacted all the French chefs he knew and asked them to come to his restaurant to help prepare Wu Xiuxiu’s order.

After leaving the French restaurant, Wu Xiuxiu visited every renowned restaurant in the city, ordering all their dishes, one thousand portions of each, and requesting delivery to her home by noon the next day.

Because she was willing to pay triple the price, all the restaurants agreed.

Wu Xiuxiu then went to the food street, buying everything she saw, one thousand portions of each, and requesting delivery by noon the next day.

Next, she went on a shopping spree at the mall, buying everything she saw.

After the mall, she went to the furniture store for more shopping.

While dining at the French restaurant, she had been thinking about how to spend the rest of her money.

She decided to handle the purchases from the mall and furniture store the same way she did at the wholesale market. She told them she didn’t need delivery and would arrange for people to move and transport the goods, leaving them at the mall and furniture store. She also asked for the keys to the mall and furniture store.

Because she had already paid and was incredibly generous, the managers of the mall and furniture store were confident and gave her the keys.

After planning to empty the wholesale market, she would then move on to the shopping mall and furniture city.

After buying furniture at the furniture city, it was already ten o’clock at night. Wu Xiuxiu decided to go home and rest for an hour. An hour later, she would take a car to the wholesale market to prepare to receive the goods into her space.

Wu Xiuxiu returned home and took a nap for an hour. The alarm she set went off at eleven o’clock, waking her up.

She immediately went out and hailed a taxi. Her home was far from the wholesale market, and it would take half an hour to get there.

When she arrived at the wholesale market, it was already eleven fifty. Wu Xiuxiu hurried into the market, but didn’t go to the warehouse immediately. Instead, she found a corner to hide. She had to wait until the power went out before she dared to go to the warehouse to collect the goods.

She would come before twelve o’clock because she was afraid that after twelve o’clock, the power would be out, and the taxi driver wouldn’t be willing to send her here.

Wu Xiuxiu looked around and found that the market was extremely quiet, with not a single person around.

Did everyone in the market leave?

Hopefully they all left. Wu Xiuxiu thought to herself, and waited for a while. Finally, it was twelve o’clock.

The moment it turned twelve, the streetlights in the market all went out.

The power went out! Yay! Wu Xiuxiu cheered in her heart, immediately took out the flashlight she brought and turned it on, rushing towards the warehouse area where the bosses had shown her during the day.

She didn’t encounter anyone along the way. When Wu Xiuxiu reached the warehouse area, she found that there was no one there, and all the doors to the warehouses were locked.

She quickly took out a bunch of keys, found the key to the first warehouse door, and opened it.

The first warehouse was full of rice. The huge warehouse was piled high with rice. Wu Xiuxiu thought to herself that she would send all the rice in the warehouse into her space. A magical thing happened. In the blink of an eye, all the rice in the warehouse disappeared.

Wu Xiuxiu was overjoyed. The rice should all have been collected into her space.

She quickly entered her space and found that there were suddenly many mountains of rice. The rice had indeed all been collected into her space.

Wu Xiuxiu happily exited her space and went to collect the things in the second warehouse…

…

So tired!

When Wu Xiuxiu walked out of the furniture city, the east was already showing a hint of dawn, and the sky was starting to brighten. She was both tired and sleepy, and couldn’t stop yawning.

After emptying all the warehouses in the wholesale market last night, she then went to the shopping mall with her flashlight, moving things in the dark, emptying the mall, and then went to the furniture city to move things. When she came out of the furniture city, she realized that a whole night had passed.

Wu Xiuxiu was really too tired and sleepy, so she hurried home to catch up on her sleep. She slept until the people from the French restaurant who delivered the things she ordered last night knocked on her door, and she woke up.

She opened the door and let the people from the French restaurant bring her order inside. She found that there was more than she expected, and it filled her house.

After the people from the French restaurant left, she immediately collected all the things they delivered into her space, so that her house could accommodate the things that would be delivered later.

After that, things she ordered last night from the snack street and various restaurants were delivered one after another. By the time she received everything, it was already twelve noon.

She would be transmigrating in an hour, but she still had over ten million left on her card. What should she do?

Just as Wu Xiuxiu was worrying, she suddenly remembered that there was a 4S store not far from her house. She could go buy some cars, and that way she could spend all the money left on her card.

Wu Xiuxiu immediately went to the nearby 4S store and bought all kinds of cars: sedans, sports cars, vans, SUVs, and even RVs.

After buying them, she, who knew how to drive, drove the cars one by one, driving them to deserted places and then collecting them into her space.

Seeing that she still had over a million left on her card, and her transmigration time was approaching, only twenty minutes left.

She hurriedly went to the place where they sold trucks and bought several trucks: large trucks, small trucks, and medium-sized trucks.

After buying the trucks, she had no money left on her card. She smiled happily. Just as she was smiling happily, she suddenly heard a “boom” sound…

She was just thinking about why it was suddenly thundering when she was struck by lightning.

Falling to the ground, Wu Xiuxiu, who was welcoming death, wanted to cry.

She had thought of many ways to die, but she didn’t expect to be struck by lightning. It was so painful to be struck by lightning, woo woo…

In the moment she fell into darkness, Wu Xiuxiu shed two lines of noodle-wide tears…

…

“Woo woo woo… You said how could Xiuxiu be so stupid! To avoid going to the countryside, she actually came up with this kind of method! She’s so stupid… woo woo…”

Wu Xiuxiu was woken up by a burst of crying. She hadn’t opened her eyes yet, but she could smell a strong smell of disinfectant.

Why was there a smell of disinfectant? What was that crying sound?

Wu Xiuxiu’s mind was full of question marks. She quickly opened her eyes and immediately saw a white ceiling. She glanced around, and the ward she had seen in period dramas came into view.

The ward in a period drama? It seems she transmigrated successfully.
