1 Survival of the Fittest
In the quiet luxury villa, Alice, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a splitting headache. The moment she opened her eyes, a surge of memories not belonging to her flooded into her mind.
After receiving all the memories, Alice was dumbfounded. A world-class assassin like her unexpectedly transmigrated.
Suddenly, natural disasters struck—typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, hailstorms, extreme heat, extreme cold—all came one after another, posing a great life-and-death test for humanity.
The struggle for existence, survival of the fittest!
She transmigrated into a female cannon fodder with the same name and surname. Her only role was to serve as a supporting character for the female lead.
Alice's gaze turned slightly cold. Since she transmigrated, there was no way she would just stand idly by.
She took a look at the calendar on the bedside table, and it was December 21, 2099. The day the apocalypse arrived was January 1, 2100—only ten days left.
Stockpiling supplies had to be arranged.
As described in the novel, the space was within a white jade bracelet. The bracelet was a birthday gift from the original host's mother and was kept in a jewelry box.
Alice took out the jewelry box and searched for a while, quickly finding the bracelet.
The novel described the method of acknowledging the master as dripping blood. Without hesitation, Alice picked up scissors and pricked her finger. A drop of blood merged into the jade, and a sparkling light flashed. Alice entered a vast white 'world.' She didn't know exactly how large the space was; she couldn't see its boundaries at a glance.
When Alice emerged from the space, the jade bracelet disappeared into thin air. With a single thought, the space reappeared.
Now that she had the space, the next step was to make money.
Her father, Atticus, was the richest man in the city. Her mother, Blanche, ran a cosmetics company. Her older brother, Arnold, was a popular movie star, and her second brother, Alexander, though still a junior in college, had a talent for business. Using the New Year's money he had saved up since childhood, he invested and achieved financial freedom in his first year of high school.
As the youngest in the family and the only girl, Alice is undoubtedly the most favored. The one thing she never lacks is money.
Her family gives her pocket money, and it's never less than ten million. She checked the balances of all her bank cards, and the deposits amounted to two hundred million.
Not satisfied with that, she immediately sent messages to her parents and two older brothers. One minute later, the eldest brother's money was the first to arrive.
[Eldest Brother: Alice, big brother has transferred fifty million to you. Let me know when you've used it, and I'll send you more.]
Next was the second brother, who gave her twenty million. The parents also each gave her fifty million. Adding the two hundred million she had saved earlier, the total amount in her account was three hundred and twenty million.
Unfortunately, she didn't have an unlimited black card, but three hundred and twenty million was enough to buy a lot of things.
After receiving the money, Alice went to the garage and drove out in a luxury car for shopping. Time waits for no one, and she wanted to store the items in her space as soon as possible.
She first went to a large cold storage warehouse. Most of the meat sold in the nearby market comes from this warehouse. She bought rounds of beef, lamb, pork, chicken, duck, goose, fish, as well as various types of starch balls, tripe, fatty beef rolls, lamb rolls, ham, and gluten.
"All of these, these, and those, I want them all..."
"Boss, calculate the total amount."
The cold storage boss looked at Alice, who seemed to be in command, with a complex expression on his face. The attractive girl, how did she become so extravagant?
Alice took out a card and said expressionlessly, "I'm serious, not joking."
The cold storage boss looked at her in astonishment and curiously asked, "Are you planning to wholesale so much meat?"
Alice, who couldn't find a better excuse, nodded without hesitation. "Exactly."
It turns out she's in the same business.
The kind-hearted cold storage boss reminded her, "The market is already saturated, and this business is not easy to do now."
"No problem, I have plenty of money."
The boss had nothing to say, looking at the somewhat naive face of the girl. He guessed she was a wealthy second generation with money to spend, trying to prove herself to her family by starting a business.
"I'll have someone count the inventory now. Please wait a moment."
Alice nodded, watching all the busy work in the warehouse. She chose the cold storage not only because of the variety of goods but also because she could temporarily store them. After everyone left, she could move them into her space, saving her from renting a spaceand hiring trucks to make several trips, which would attract too much attention.
Half an hour later, the cold storage boss had counted the quantity and price.
"There are a thousand head of slaughtered cattle, six thousand sheep, five thousand pigs, ten thousand chickens, eight thousand ducks..."
"There are three thousand boxes of beef rolls, three thousand boxes of lamb rolls, seven thousand bags of meatballs, five thousand bags of tripe..."
Alice bought a lot, and the boss gave her the biggest discount. Including the wholesale price, everything added up to three hundred and fifty million.
Alice swiped her card without hesitation, and the boss smiled widely. He had been running the frozen food wholesale business for over ten years and had never encountered such a big customer.
"Can these be temporarily stored here for a few days until my cold storage warehouse is ready?"
The boss generously agreed, having worked hard for half a year; he considered this a break for himself.
Alice got the key to the cold storage warehouse from the boss before leaving.
With the meat purchased, it was time to buy various vegetables, so she went to the vegetable wholesale market.
To facilitate storage in her space, Alice rented a short-term warehouse nearby. It was a 500-square-meter space on three floors. Unlike the cold storage managed by a single boss, the stalls here were individually operated, requiring her to buy from each one.
Baby bok choy, Chinese cabbage, mustard greens, green beans, pumpkin seedlings, sweet potato leaves, celery, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes... Anything good, she bought them all.
"Boss, please deliver these to this address after I settle the bill." Alice left the address for the warehouse.
Then she went to the next vegetable wholesaler, and the whole process of buying from the vegetable wholesale market took six hours.
It mainly took that long because the merchants took too long to count the goods. It only took her a few seconds to swipe her card.
For today, she stopped here. Tomorrow she would go to the warehouse to collect the items and continue shopping.
Returning home at 7:30 in the evening, Atticus and Blanche were sitting on the sofa, reading magazines. The dining table was already filled with steaming hot dishes, and the fragrance wafted through the air.
"Alice, we've been waiting for you to have dinner. Go wash your hands quickly." Atticus smiled, putting down the magazine.
Alice washed her hands and felt a slight awkwardness when she sat down. She was used to being alone. Watching the original parents who kept putting food into her bowl, a warm feeling passed through her heart.
