Chapter 17 - Extra Income

But Song was quite considerate in selecting a room for her, with a place where she could settle in easily without fearing the assassins may come at any given moment to take her life. He selected a place that assassins would find difficult to get into, and by that time she could hide to protect herself. He even made some traps along the way, which only Ling Yu and he knew the location of.

It's not that she didn't know how to protect herself, it's just that she didn't get a chance to show off her powers.

Ling Yu was someone who once commanded a bunch of armies, and led troops to battles, all to eliminate those zombies and monsters in her past life. Now that she has regressed, even though her body was that of a young, teenage girl, her mindset and powers haven't regressed.

It's just that after being stopped by Song a few times, she decided to not use her powers until it was necessary, considering the apocalypse hasn't started yet.

Besides, she can't fight alone again in this life, not when she has something else to do besides the mission of zombie apocalypse.

That's right. She still has to take revenge against the Royal Family! And she will make sure to take it until she is satisfied!

Butler Song arranged for Ling Yu to tag along with him as he prepared to go to the city supermarket, he didn't stop until he bought a packet of chips and handed it to Ling Yu.

"Master, you can eat and explore around the sweet shops, I'll go check some things we need for the house," Song explained as he waited for a response from her. 

"Mhmm, be sure to return quickly!" Ling Yu didn't have any reason to stop him, so she nodded her head and walked towards the sweet shops while crunching her bag of chips. 

Seeing her act normal and interested in the sweet shops, Butler Song strod away quickly, to finish his mission as soon as possible and return to her side. Ling Yu already knew where he hurried off to, so she didn't intervene in his work. Instead, she also went to browse and buy more necessary things she would need possibly.

"I still don't know where I can get the core materials necessary for my complete awakening, looks like I'll have to join into one of those auctions. But how can I get an invitation?" Ling Yu mumbled as she thought things carefully.

She can get a bodyguard after this time, and the rations she needs for the next one year are already stockpiled at Manor, no, to be exact, they were put in her space.

Since Song might discover that something was amiss, she used a reflection skill to create a fake image of those items. 

Aside from that, Ling Yu actually used up about 5.83 billion or so at stockpiling things. This caused a shortage of things in the market, but Ling Yu didn't really care much. In these remaining five months, there will be much more production of things than what she bought, just that there wouldn't be sane people who will make queues to buy them.

'I need to get some people to break that mine too, but how should I let that guy know that there is a mine behind the estate?'

Ling Yu didn't need to worry about soil or water supply, since they were attached inside the space. After Ling Yu went inside the space, she walked around the area as far as she could. But the area seemed to be vast and plain, full of fertile soil beneath her feet. There is also a well and a pond, where she can get an infinite source of water.

To test how fertile the soil was, Ling Yu secretly hid some seeds away from the granary of Song and brought them back into the space, planting them in the soil and watering them. She was surprised to find out those seeds turned into saplings in just a week, growing rapidly. So Ling Yu bought a variety of different seeds and planted all of them in her space, to grow as soon as they could.

Then Ling Yu bought a various type of fish and put them into the pond, this way she would have a fish reserve and wouldn't have to worry about not having enough fresh food. She also found a natural cave inside the space, at this rate, Ling Yu could say that she was literary the owner of a small island.

'Should I buy some poultry items next? It wouldn't be bad to have a food reserve of meat too!'

Aside from that, Ling Yu planned to do side jobs and earn her extra income upon entering the University, until the disaster started.

In such times, having more money would leave her more options, Ling Yu wasn't opposed to the idea of working part-time jobs. Only snobbish aristocrats like Jiang Meng would pinch her nose in this kind of work, Ling Yu always thought differently from others.

The packet of chips was already gone by the time Ling Yu was waiting for Song, she couldn't stand without eating and waiting, so Ling Yu bought a bunch of food until her arms were full, and started walking while eating happily.

'All of these shouldn't be gone by the time Song returns, right?'

"I should look for some men's wear too, just in case…"

Ling Yu walked past a group of men in black, without disrupting each other as she walked toward the men's clothing section of the supershop.

At the same time,

The group of men in black were in their military uniform, walked straight towards the confectionary store. Among them, the person with an extraordinary and intimidating aura was walking at the front, until he stopped at the entrance of the shop and waved his hand in the air, ordering his team to stop marching.
