Chapter 75: Third Space Opens, Lin Meng Goes on a Shopping Spree

Ye Heng went to the warehouse and took two pig legs, two chickens, then after thinking added a bottle of leftover beer and a pack of cigarettes.

As for seasonings, Ye Heng didn't give much, only giving a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of fragrant vinegar, and several packs of individually wrapped seasoning packets.

These are absolutely unpolluted, top‑grade supplies given by Lin Meng; exchanging them for those crystals is more than enough.

After inspecting the goods, Lu Shaoquan greatly appreciated Ye Heng's generosity.

Just that bottle of beer and pack of cigarettes are worth a fortune, let alone the other side also gave him pork and chicken meat, plus several kinds of seasonings.

He didn't examine them closely, and simply put these supplies on the vehicle.

Ye Heng, however, said:

"Lu Shao, if you have supplies you want to exchange next time, you can find me; our shelter plans to expand, and we might need to trouble you for help."

Lu Shaoquan waved his hand, saying, "It's fine, it's fine; as long as you still have rare supplies, our Lu family will always be your friends."

At this point, Lu Shaoquan still felt that their trade involved no one begging the other; it was fair.

But this balance will soon be broken……

After Lin Meng upgraded the First Space, she then ordered some shelves online, intending to place them inside the space for use.

Afterwards she took out the third jade bracelet.

This was bought for five million; compared to the first two, which were practically given away, this bracelet can be said to be quite expensive, and Lin Meng naturally does not want it to be merely decorative.

She again tried to connect her mental power with it.

This time, the jade bracelet quickly reacted.

Just like the previous two times, the jade bracelet emitted a scorching heat on the wrist, soon vanished, and finally left a faint black mark on the wrist.

Lin Meng's eyes lit up; this time it succeeded, the jade bracelet finally became a space, so she no longer needs to worry.

As long as it can become a space, she need not fear being coveted by others.

Lin Meng did not hesitate and immediately flashed into the Third Space.

This space turned out to be completely empty, with nothing at all.

Lin Meng carefully sensed it, but also detected no foreign mental power.

This space seems not to be connected to anyone else's space!

Lin Meng, overcome with excitement, couldn't help but break into a grin.

Great, this Third Space is entirely her own.

After confirming this, Lin Meng immediately moved all her personal items from the First Space into the Third Space.

After finishing these, seeing that time was still early, Lin Meng left the hotel and drove to a nearby agricultural trade distribution center.

Prices in Jing Shi are still high, but the suburbs have abundant supplies, and the prices are just ordinary wholesale rates.

After driving for an hour and a half to reach the destination, Lin Meng did not rest, but immediately went on a shopping spree.

She first went to the grain and oil section, hearing a familiar hometown dialect, and dove right in.

This grain and oil store is not small in scale; it is run by an elderly couple, and at first listen they are her fellow townspeople.

"Little miss, what do you want to buy? Auntie will give you a quick recommendation."

Lin Meng shook her head and pointed directly at the rice nearby, saying:

"Twenty‑five kilograms per bag of rice; give me two thousand bags first."

"And this, that, and the other—each also two thousand bags."

"This rapeseed oil looks good; let's also get two thousand barrels first."

Lin Meng came up and stood imposingly in the middle of the store, pointing at whatever she wanted and demanding two thousand of each, startling the couple who thought she was some mischievous youth come to mess around.

The auntie, a bit nervous, interrupted Lin Meng.

"Little miss, are you sure you want two thousand bags each of this rice, millet, flour, corn grits, and glutinous rice? And two thousand barrels of rapeseed oil?"

Her voice trembled a little; perhaps even she herself thought it crazy, and deep down she hoped Lin Meng was telling the truth.

Demanding fifty tons of rice in one go already makes her a major customer among major customers, yet she also ordered so many different kinds of goods.

If this is true, this year the old couple could close the shop early and go home to celebrate the New Year!

Seeing the auntie's incredulous expression, Lin Meng couldn't help but laugh and say:

"Of course I'm sure; otherwise why would I come to your shop? But I need this much of each—do you have enough stock? Can you arrange it right away? I need it urgently."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the old couple were only stunned for a moment, then immediately became energized as if injected with chicken blood, and grew excited.

"We have it, we have it, we have stock; we can arrange it right away!"

The two of them instantly became spirited, looking at Lin Meng as if she were a money‑making tree, each standing on one side and circling her, afraid this big customer might run off.

"Little miss, take your time; I'll write it down, my old partner will do the math, and I'll definitely give you a discount."

Lin Meng nodded and began, like ordering dishes, to enumerate the kinds and quantities of goods she wanted.

Ye Heng's shelter currently has few inhabitants, but he said he wanted to expand the shelter, which would inevitably require recruiting other civilians to join.

The shelter is too small, and eventually there is a risk of being annexed by other shelters.

Moreover, now that Ye Heng and his companions' lives have improved and supplies are relatively abundant, sooner or later it will attract covetous eyes.

Increasing personnel can boost combat and labor power, but it also means greater consumption of supplies.

Needing two thousand bags of each grain type is not actually much.

"Rice, flour, millet, corn grits, and glutinous rice—each fifty tons; as for edible oil, auntie suggests you take one thousand barrels each of rapeseed and peanut oil, and I can calculate the peanut oil at the purchase price for you."

Lin Meng nodded in agreement, then pointed to the bagged noodles and said:

"Also help me get two to three thousand bags of noodles of varying thickness, and all the seasonings you sell—each variety by the box, twenty boxes."

The auntie beside them couldn't keep up, and the uncle doing the calculations had his hand cramp on the calculator, still unable to figure it out.

Lin Meng wasn't in a hurry either; she sat on a nearby bench and looked around the shop again, making sure nothing was missed for now, and said they'd buy these first.

After a while, the uncle and aunt approached Lin Meng with trembling hands; the bill was tallied clearly, coming to a total of 1.3 million.

The old man still felt a slight tremor in his heart even now, unable to believe.

"Miss, the total is 1.3 million; are you sure you want it?"

The old lady also trembled in her voice as she confirmed again: "Little miss, you really want all that much goods? That's 1.3 million!"

Lin Meng nodded, her tone calm: "Sure, how do you collect payment?"

The old man and old woman exchanged a glance, so excited they could not speak.

Lin Meng had settled half the payment when she realized she had not rented a large warehouse in advance for turnover.

But it's fine; I'll ask General Manager Ye—after all, I've already bothered him once, asking for another warehouse shouldn't be a big deal.

Ye Chenjing's side had just received Lin Meng's message, and he immediately had his assistant arrange a large logistics warehouse.

After giving the address to the old man, Lin Meng drove off to the next wholesale district.

At that moment, inside Ye Chenjing's private teahouse, many professional bodyguards stood both inside and outside.

Zhu Zhen Guo looked at this scene, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Isn't it just to sell him some medicinal materials? Why such tight security?
