Chapter 3: Hoarding Supplies (Part 2)
Third Category: Shelter — Living Environment, Home Appliances, and Daily Necessities

Housekeeper Hu arranged for people to head to a high-end furniture market in the suburbs and had all the furniture there cleared out.

Sofas, coffee tables, dining tables, desks, TV cabinets, shoe cabinets, wardrobe closets, vanity tables, beds…

Furniture from various major brands and of different materials—20,000 sets of each.

As for bedding—bedsheets, quilt covers, pillows, cooling mats, cotton quilts, curtains, carpets—30,000 sets of each were purchased.

With the furniture sorted, they naturally needed home appliances.

TVs, electric fans, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines, hair dryers, wall-mounted machines, sterilizers, water heaters, electric blankets—20,000 units each.

There were also the “Four Big Items” of the seventies, the “Three Spins and One Sound”: bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios—10,000 units each.

Then came all sorts of miscellaneous electronics—cassette players, video recorders, spy cameras, smartwatches, mobile phones, laptops, tablets—5,000 units each.

Song Kexing even instructed Housekeeper Hu to download every movie, TV drama, and variety show available online onto USB drives.

That way, even in that unfamiliar future era, she could still kill time by watching them in the space.

Daily necessities, being consumables, were bought in even larger quantities.

Towels, clothes hangers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, tissues, wet wipes, sanitary pads, various types of toiletries—50,000 sets each.

Dishwashers, household robots, floor-sweeping robots, vacuum robots, carrying robots—10,000 units each.

All these things took up a lot of space.

Just transporting them required several hundred large trucks.

The trucks were constantly coming in and out of the manor.

From dawn till dusk, the rumbling of engines never stopped.

Then came the fourth category: Transport — Vehicles and Related Supplies.

Housekeeper Hu directly called the 4S dealership and placed a massive order all at once.

Various types of cars—sports cars, sedans, buses, vans, SUVs, large trucks, luxury RVs—10 units of each.

Additionally, 100 units each of electric scooters, motorcycles, tricycles, three-wheeled tuk-tuks, go-karts, and smart balance scooters.

With land vehicles handled, she also needed means of transport for water and air.

Jet skis, inflatable boats, yachts, submarines, sailboats, bamboo rafts, ferries, cruise ships—20 units each.

Drones, gliders, hot air balloons, helicopters, airships—10 units each.

Then, there were the essentials required to run these vehicles—gasoline, diesel, generators—all procured in bulk through special connections…

With clothing, food, shelter, and transport nearly all covered, it was time to prepare for other necessities.

---

First was medicine.

Using the Song family’s past connections, Housekeeper Hu found someone to introduce him to an underground black market and bought a massive supply of medicines and medical equipment.

Every type of medicine imaginable—enough to fill an entire large truck.

Medical devices: physical therapy machines, ventilators, moxibustion machines, ECG monitors, cupping sets, anesthesia machines, massage chairs—20 sets each.

Next came nourishment for the soul: books.

Coincidentally, a large library in the city was about to go bankrupt—so she bought it out!

Books spanning subjects like literature, history, philosophy, novels, medicine, and more—amounting to several hundred thousand volumes—were used to completely fill the basement of Rose Manor.

Song Kexing also had Housekeeper Hu empty out an entire mother-and-baby store.

Baby formula, pacifiers, diapers, rice cereal, water bottles, face cream, body wash, tissues, snacks—5,000 units of each.

She didn’t know whether these items would be useful in the new era, but better safe than sorry.

Outdoor supplies were also prepared—tents, water bottles, backpacks, sleeping bags, windbreakers, trekking poles, binoculars, flashlights—5,000 units each.

There were also self-defense weapons: pepper spray, high-beam flashlights, electric batons, nunchucks, collapsible batons, baseball bats—5,000 units each.

Finally, through underground connections, Housekeeper Hu acquired a batch of firearms, ammunition, and bladed weapons.

At this point, all the necessary supplies were nearly gathered.

Such high-profile bulk purchasing and transport activities had long drawn suspicion and speculation from the outside world.

But Song Kexing wasn’t the least bit worried.

After all, she was about to transmigrate—why would she care what they thought?

It was Housekeeper Hu who had it rough, having to repeatedly explain to outsiders that the Song family was preparing to open a new shopping mall, hence all the advance stocking.

As for whether anyone actually believed that… well, that wasn’t his problem.

At the very least, he had done his best.

After listening to Butler Hu’s report over the past few days, the system pill couldn’t help but sigh emotionally:

【Boss, this butler of yours is really something.】

Song Kexing’s black eyes flickered slightly: 【Mm.】

It was almost laughable.

The only warmth she had ever felt in this world actually came from a butler.

Song Kexing asked, “Butler Hu, how much of my assets do I have left under my name?”

Butler Hu bowed respectfully, his expression calm and serene:

“Young Miss, your account still has over 150 million left.”

“You’ve worked hard during this time. Transfer 50 million to yourself as compensation. As for the rest…”

Song Kexing paused, “Donate all of it. Let it be…”

Let it be the last good deed she did in this world.

“Young Miss…”

Butler Hu looked up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

How could he, of all people, be worthy of such a generous reward?

He had just opened his mouth to refuse when Song Kexing interrupted him.

“That’s enough. You may leave now. Be sure to give all the servants three days off—effective immediately. That includes you.”

“…Yes, Young Miss.”

Butler Hu’s voice trembled.

He looked up, eyes already turning red with emotion.

After everyone had left, the pill couldn’t help but speak up:

【Boss, I saw him crying. Suddenly getting fifty million—he must be overjoyed.】

Even though it was just a silly system, it knew a lot.

After all, it had read plenty of melodramatic novels in preparation for its missions—hehe~

Song Kexing chuckled: 【Stop gossiping. We’ve got a lot to do now.】

The entire estate was packed with supplies. She needed to put them all into her storage space, which would probably take the whole night.

The pill’s cute voice piped up reassuringly:
【Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll help you~】

As an auxiliary system, it had the same ability as the boss—anything it touched could be stored away.

It even had wings, allowing it to fly in the air, which made things much easier.

Once all the servants had left the estate, Song Kexing and the system began their task.

One word: Collect!

With the pill’s help, the speed increased significantly.

In less than six hours, by 1 AM,

Every item in the estate, including everything in the main manor, had been stored away in the spatial dimension.

A luxurious estate of over 50,000 square meters turned into an empty shell overnight.

【Boss, are you ready? We’re about to transmigrate!】

The pill was filled with excitement, its voice trembling with anticipation.

【Ready.】

In the darkness, Song Kexing sat in her wheelchair, the starlight reflecting in her eyes.

A carefree smile curved her lips.

【Let it all burn.】

【You got it!】

The pill flew into the air and hurled a giant torch toward the estate.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire estate was engulfed in flames…
