Yun Zhen lowered the small tray again, and Gao Yun placed the three gold bars on it. As the tray floated back up toward the sky, the Pei family members watched anxiously, their heads tilted upward in anticipation.

Sensing their concern, Yun Zhen quickly listed the supplies she had:

“I have rice, flour, cooking oil, sugar, salt, vinegar, biscuits, candy, milk powder, fresh fruits and vegetables, sausages, and fresh meat and shrimp. As for purified water, I have as much as you need. What would you like?”

The Pei brothers and their team of bodyguards were pleasantly surprised. They immediately replied, “If possible, could we get a little bit of everything?”

After a moment of thought, Yun Zhen suggested, “Fresh fruits and vegetables don’t keep well, so I’ll give you a batch each day. On the day you leave, I’ll provide a larger amount all at once. The rest, which can be stored at room temperature or frozen, I can send over right now. Where would you like me to place everything?”

Pei Yan considered it briefly before making a decision. “Please place everything on the yacht’s deck, and we’ll move it to the storage later.”

Thinking of his son at home, he added, “Could we also get some baby formula for a six-month-old?”

Yun Zhen smiled at this request. “Of course, but you’ll need to prepare airtight containers. I don’t have anything suitable for storing it.”

Having heard about the Pei family’s situation from Pei Hao, Yun Zhen had wisely bought baby formula during her shopping trip. However, baby food is notoriously difficult to store, and once a container is opened, it’s susceptible to contamination.

With the harsh conditions of the apocalypse, improper storage could easily lead to the milk powder becoming damp and spoiled.

Pei Yan nodded. “We have a batch of new empty bottles and cans on the ship, along with vacuum packing equipment and storage bags. The regular storage has temperature and humidity control, and we also have a large freezer.”

Their primary mission on this trip south was to rescue Pei Hao, but they also hoped to gather supplies on the way back. Unfortunately, the widespread destruction from the natural disasters made it nearly impossible to buy or scavenge anything.

Encountering the goddess was an unexpected boon. If all went well, the supplies they brought back should allow everyone to live comfortably for a while.

They couldn’t ask for more, considering they also had to share with their employees.

The bodyguards risked their lives for them, and as employers, the Pei family wasn’t stingy with rewards.

After discussing the details, Yun Zhen transported the little people to a temporary dock at the foot of the mountain.

For Pei Yan and the others, it was their first experience of floating through the air without the aid of any mechanical device.

The sensation was both thrilling and amusing, and the large flying tray reminded them of the magic carpet from the fairy tale Aladdin.

Gao Yun was particularly excited, shouting, “This is like flying on a sword! No, it’s flying on a tray! Don’t gods usually teleport with light beams? Only cultivators fly using objects!”

Pei Hao doused his excitement with cold water: “The gods in Journey to the West flew normally without any teleporting light beams. Stop dreaming about cultivation and get to work!”

With laughter, everyone busied themselves with the tasks at hand.

Yun Zhen had bought a ten-kilogram bag of the best quality rice. Worried that whole grains might not cook well, she had it ground into smaller pieces.

She also bought small resealable bags, each about 6 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide, which required three or four adult little people to carry.

Grains are the staple of any meal, so Yun Zhen packed 300 bags of rice and 50 bags of flour.

Individually wrapped biscuits and candies, which had no production dates printed on them, were ready to be delivered as they were.

She removed the packaging from the sausages, cut them into sections, wrapped them in plastic wrap, and had the little people store them in the freezer.

Fresh meat and shrimp were cut into pieces, shelled, and stuffed into resealable bags.

For cooking oil, soy sauce, and other liquids, she used a clean dropper to fill the bottles they provided, with just one or two drops filling a bottle.

When it came to the baby formula, Yun Zhen handled it with extra care.

She scooped a full spoonful of the formula using the spoon that came with the can and carefully placed it on a piece of tissue paper in the yacht’s second-floor living room.

Pei Yan personally handled the packaging, wearing sterile gloves to ensure everything was done carefully and safely.

For fruits, she provided cherry tomatoes, cherries, and blueberries—small, easy-to-carry fruits that are rich in vitamins but have a short shelf life.

As for vegetables, she gave them 60 small potatoes, each about the size of her thumb, along with a whole head of napa cabbage, ten finger-sized pieces of ginger, and a peeled garlic bulb separated into cloves.

Yun Zhen also prepared plenty of dehydrated vegetables, including carrots, scallions, cabbage, and shiitake mushrooms, each piece about the size of a little person’s cheek. She packed a total of 20 bags.

She also included 10 bags of chopped dried seaweed, 5 bags of cashews, 5 bags of shelled sunflower seeds, and 5 bags of black sesame seeds.

For sugar and salt, she provided 50 bags each, along with 10 bags of individually packaged adult milk powder.

The yacht was equipped with a water storage tank, so Gao Yun pulled out a flexible hose from the tank, while a transfer box was placed on the deck. Yun Zhen poured mineral water into the box, and the hose then transferred it into the storage tank.

In about 10 minutes, the large storage tank was quickly filled.

Yun Zhen placed the prepared supplies on the deck, while Pei Hao and the others moved them to the storage.

Initially worried that the job would be too heavy and exhausting, but she felt relieved when six housekeeping robots appeared on the yacht.

These robots, with their round heads and stylish appearances, were waist-high, strong, and capable of transforming to adapt to different tasks and terrains.

They easily handled the heavy lifting, climbing stairs, and crossing thresholds with ease.

If the floor had any debris or dirt, the robots would automatically clean it up without needing to be told.

Yun Zhen’s eyes lit up at the sight!

Her home could really use such smart, capable robots.

Next time they trade, she’d definitely ask about them—she’d be willing to exchange as much as needed!

Everyone busied themselves happily, the air filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

During this time, Yun Zhen made an interesting discovery:

As she sent items like biscuits and candies, which came with their own packaging, into the bookshelf, the system automatically erased any information about the manufacturer, leaving only the list of ingredients and additives. The expiration date was also adjusted to match the timeline of the little people’s world.

Seeing this, Yun Zhen stopped manually removing the packaging, even sending over a whole sausage.

The Pei family’s private yacht was massive, Pei Hao saying it was 56 meters long.

The fact that such a large yacht could sail into the land of Huacheng indicated the extent of flooding there.

The single shelf in Yun Zhen’s bookshelf was 80 centimeters long, 35 centimeters wide, and 40 centimeters high.

While she found it quite spacious, it still couldn’t fully display the yacht, requiring her to use the system’s camera function to switch perspectives and view the entire vessel.

Yun Zhen provided so many supplies that they nearly filled the entire yacht.

Anything that didn’t require specific storage conditions was placed in the empty rooms.

The Pei family members grinned widely at the sight of a fully stocked yacht.

Even the usually composed and aloof Pei Yan couldn’t help but show a pleased smile.

With supplies this abundant, a sense of security followed.

The long, hard journey had been worth it!
