Su Muqing returned from the study and stayed in her room for a long time. However, no one even brought her a glass of water, and she had to eat her own food when she was hungry. The hospitality at the magistrate's mansion was really poor!
Su Muqing entered her space and clicked on Plane Trading. She didn't want to forget about this later and waste today's opportunity.
After connecting successfully, a muscular man in a black vest appeared on the screen. Su Muqing tentatively greeted him. "Hello?"
The man gave a roguish smile and replied, "Hello, little sister."
Su Muqing: "My name is Su Muqing. This is ancient times. What's the situation where you are?"
Ding Mo: "My name is Ding Mo. This is a disaster apocalypse."
Su Muqing looked puzzled. "What is a disaster apocalypse?"
Ding Mo didn't seem to mind her many questions and patiently explained. "It's when natural disasters happen frequently. Tsunamis, typhoons, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions… anything you can think of. They can happen at any time."
Su Muqing was greatly surprised. Just a drought in her world had already caused so many deaths. With all sorts of disasters where they were, how miserable must it be?
Su Muqing: "How many people are left? What is most lacking?"
Ding Mo: "Our city originally had over 200,000 people. Now there are over 4,000 people in the base. What we lack most right now is probably water and food. Because of the frequent disasters, global water sources have been polluted. No matter how much purification is done, there are still many fatal toxic substances."
"Water? Don't you have a decoration center in your space? Can't you just buy a river with money to solve the problem?" Su Muqing originally wanted to fill some water for him.
But with so many people, how much would she need to fill? Then she remembered that her space could buy a river! The water in it could be taken out!
Ding Mo scratched the back of his head. "What decoration center? I don't have one here! My space only has storage and trading functions. And we don't even have gold and silver currency here anymore. Everyone's supplies are allocated uniformly."
No currency again? Why were most of the trading partners she matched with not using money? Only she was still working hard to collect gold, silver, and jewelry.
Moreover, she also discovered something. Besides that doctor, the other trading partners were all lacking food. Chen Yuan lacked food as an individual, Lin Xue's team lacked food, and now Ding Mo, who was even more extreme! The entire base lacked food.
What did this mean? Wasn't the scope of wholesalers too small? Was this setting her up to be a granary? Responsible for the food supply of all the ten million small worlds?
Finally, Su Muqing added Ding Mo to her backup friend list. She used all three of her trading opportunities today on him.
After careful understanding, Su Muqing learned that the era Ding Mo was in was a super apocalyptic era between modern and future technology. It was a different situation from the zombie virus apocalypse that Lin Xue was in.
In Ding Mo's era, after entering the global disaster apocalypse, people frantically invented and created in order to survive, hoping to develop tools that could completely purify water, improve land quality, and evade super strong radiation.
Although they couldn't fundamentally solve all the problems, at least they could barely survive in such harsh environments through their own inventions.
The first trade was used to understand the situation on his end. After finishing the call, Su Muqing quickly opened the modern mall and started buying crazily.
After buying 99 kinds of different and filling foods at the mall, she put all the grains and vegetables she had harvested in the past two days into the quantum box. Then she clicked on the second trade.
Ding Mo learned that Su Muqing had lightning abilities and traded her a new invention. It was a snake-shaped ring on the outside.
It was a high-tech tool that could collect celestial energy. As long as the user's data was recorded, it could help her quickly absorb and store natural celestial energy. And it was exclusive, so it was useless if someone else picked it up.
Although her body could also absorb natural celestial energy, it was limited. And once the energy in her body exceeded a certain standard, her emotions would become somewhat uncontrollable. Therefore, this item was extremely useful to Su Muqing.
The third trade was to use the compressed water box provided by Ding Mo to store water. It was a metal box only palm-sized. It was said that it could hold up to 100 tons of water. This was definitely black technology!
Su Muqing filled it with water as he instructed. Then she clicked to trade. This time, Ding Mo gave Su Muqing 3 small-capacity compressed water boxes, each capable of holding 5 tons of water.
Even 5 tons was amazing! It was equivalent to several thousand water tanks in the village. With this item, her uncle wouldn't have to rack his brains to buy water anymore.
As for the origin of this box, she had already thought of a way to explain it. In fact, she had planned to have a good talk with Su Minghui in the morning. After all, he really protected her and her younger brother.
Who knew that she would be delayed by something later? Anyway, her changes were completely evident today, and she didn't plan to hide it anymore. If her uncle and the others couldn't accept it, then she would leave the village and go it alone!
Having made up her mind, Su Muqing left the space. It was already past four in the afternoon. Had the people at the magistrate's mansion forgotten about her?
Didn't Chen Dahe have more than ten wives and concubines combined? Why hadn't anyone come to trouble her since she had been here for so long? She even wanted to see those enchanting women!
Just as Su Muqing was lost in thought, a trembling female voice reached her ears. "Several lords, this is it. That girl is inside. The master said he wants to marry her as his eleventh concubine tonight. I've told you everything I know. Please, for heaven's sake, don't kill me."
Third Brother raised his hand and knocked out the maid, then threw her under the corridor. He was about to gently push the door open, but unexpectedly, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside. As their eyes met, several people spoke at the same time.
Su Muqing: "Third Brother, why are you here?"
Third, Fifth, Seventh, Tenth: "Miss Su, are you alright?"
Su Muqing let the four of them in. She looked around, and seeing no one else present, quickly closed the door. "I'm fine, nothing's wrong. Didn't I ask you to leave first? Why did you come?"
Third Brother: "Old Xu and the others were worried about you, so they sent a few of us to support you. Without further ado, let's go now?"
Su Muqing: "Not yet. I still have things to finish here. You guys go first and chase after the villagers, and take them as far away as possible. I'll find you after I'm done here. Maybe I can catch up with you tonight."
Third Brother and the others exchanged glances. "This… but Old Xu said to take you with us, if…."
Su Muqing: "Don't worry, I'll explain to Old Xu when I get back. If you stay here, you'll only hinder me. Hurry up and go! I'm afraid someone will come soon, and then you won't be able to leave."
Finally, Third Brother and the others couldn't persuade Su Muqing and were indeed worried about hindering her. They could only quietly withdraw from the magistrate's mansion and go after the main group.
