Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sudden pounding at the door made her jump, Ruan Wen was too concentrated with her newly obtained space that she forgot that she was in a shared dorm room.
It was very inconvenient for her plans to move into motion when she is still living with other people, so Ruan Wen also wanted to move. But since with the world about to end in one and a half years, it would be better to build a good stonghold.
Opening the door, Ruan Wen found one of her roommates impatiently waiting outside.
"I've been knocking for a long time, what were you doing?", her roommate asked as she hurriedly enter the bathroom not waiting for Ruan Wen to reply.
"Aren't you supposed to in class?", going out the bathroom her roommate asked.
"I didn't feel good, so went back here." Ruan Wen replied now remembering the her name as Han Yiyi the girl whose bed nearest the door.
"Oh, well I see." Han Yiyi responded awkwardly and said, "Normally no one's here at this time..." she trailed off, "Well I hope you get well soon!"
Ruan Wen was debating whether she should warn her about the end of the world. But then again if I do, wouldn't I just sound like a total weirdo and won't be taken seriously?
And so she just said thanks leaving warning others for later.
*******
Ruan Wen made a list by categories of what she thought the resources and various supplies she could need for the next ten years and futher in order to be self sufficient.
First the most important basic necessities such as food, this includes staples like rice and noodles, dry goods, canned and preserves, condiments and spices, etc. And water not only for drinking but also for everyday use, because although there is an entire water system in the space, that water is full of aura that it'll be very suspicious also it doesn't hurt to have extras.
Second was clothings, the season in the novel fluctuate very much and its very hard to do laundry during the apocalypse. It will be a long time before new production of clothes can be seen in the novel, that even both protagonists wear unwashed clothing for a while.
Third was the various farm animals, plant seeds and seedlings for her space. Ruan Wen needs to also eat fresh food, it's very unhealthy to keep eating ready to eat goods especially if there is healthier alternative.
Fourth was for shelter, she currently in the university located at the imperial capital, so she was debating with herself whether she should stay here, since the Central base will be built and all she needs is to wait or go back home to the countryside where original owner grew up in and build her own stronghold.
Fifth is energy, she needs oil and electricity. From a modern woman like her, life will be very hard without this resources!
Sixth is medicine, this will be very indispensable. Its already hard enough getting sick but the later people who are about to gain abilities have a fever before and fever reducing medicines can help them feel at ease.
Seventh are living supplies and of transportation. This things are very hard to remember, especially those little gadgets everyone uses and doesn't think about that makes living life easier. Ruan Wen plans to get boxes of these supplies that she could see.
Eight are for weapons. Even though she doesn't know where to get hot weapons like handhelds and force multipliers, Ruan Wen can bery well get some large knives, bows and arrows, to protect herself!
Ninth for luxury and entertainment goods. Life would be very boring without these, and with luxury goods like tabacco and alcohol in scarcity, she could use for it leverage anywhere.
Ruan Wen can't think of anything else for now. She'll put it on hold until she thinks of anything she can add later.
After collecting all this, she can simply put them all in the space for safe keeping and she would be good to go! Satisfied with her current plans, now Ruan Wen needs to secure her finances after all what will all the planning would do if she does not have any means to get it!
Fortunately even though the original owner looked poor, she actually have a sizable amount of money. Most came from her graparents' life insurance which is very sad. Her grandparents both placed her as their sole beneficiary including most of their physical assets much to her mother's dismay.
The rest came from her savings. The original owner have always been brilliant, and her school from middle to high school giveaways monetary rewards for outstanding and scholarship students, where she always remains at the top. Not to mention the cash prizes in every school contest that she attended. The biggest monetary reward she got was when she became first in the national college exams and entered in the top university in the country, her high school gave her a very sizable amout as a reward!
Totalling most of her money in the bank to almost twenty-five million dollars! Not yet including the physical assets in her name, she was a real hidden rich lady. With that in mind Ruan Wen did not hesitate ordering a large batch of goods online. She also researched about manufacturer she can get in touched with to order goods from.
