Mount Sumeru is contained in a mustard seed; the mustard seed resides in Mount Sumeru.
Feng Qingxue used to scoff at these kinds of statements until something miraculous unexpectedly happened to her.
One day, a space abruptly appeared on her body.
It was a personal space, just like what was described in some novels.
A spacious, perfectly squared, estimated-to-be-boundless space.
Superpowers had appeared. Could this mean the apocalypse is imminent?
Thinking about the doomsday theories that had been all the rage a few years earlier, Feng Qingxue became terrified and immediately went into action.
Through her experiment, she found out that this space could only store nonliving objects like rice, oil, cooked food, raw meat, clothing, jewels, furniture, etc., but not organisms like chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, plants, trees, etc.
Time in this space was still. The way things were when put in, that's exactly how they would be when taken out, even after several days.
Half a month passed, and the space still did not disappear, and the things stored in it were still fresh as ever.
In fact, even after acquiring this space, Feng Qingxue was still worried.
What if the space disappeared? What if the end of the world didn't come?
In the end, Feng Qingxue gritted her teeth and decided to take a chance.
She still needed to prepare, just in case the apocalypse came. She couldn't risk being caught unprepared.
The appearance of the space was surely not without reason.
If it appeared, there must be a change coming.
So, Feng Qingxue sold both the house her parents left her when they died in a car accident and the one she bought on a mortgage after she came of age.
The two houses were both located in the commercial street in downtown with a favorable location and decent size. Even after lowering the price for a quick sale, she still made about 5.2 million.
Because she bought the mortgaged house quite long ago when the price was much lower, the loans she needed to repay though not insubstantial, they weren't excessive either.
After paying off over a million in debts, she still had four million in hand.
For buying supplies, this few million was more than enough, especially since the cheapest thing to buy nowadays was food.
Feng Qingxue used this few million added with her own savings of over two hundred thousand and over two million insurance compensation from her parents' car accident to aggressively buy and store various supplies, amounting to over six million in total.
With the looming disaster, Feng Qingxue focused on practicality, rather than aesthetics and luxury.
First, she went to several flour factories and ordered ten thousand bags of quality flour that tasted good. She paid a large deposit and specifically told them not to add any whitening agents or anything similar.
The wholesale price was seventy-five per bag, each bag twenty-five kilograms, which immediately cost her 750,000.
In order to prevent any jealousy arising from people who might discover that she had been eating from her own flour, she also ordered 1000 bags each of millet, brown rice, fine wheat bran, coarse wheat bran, black wheat flour, cornmeal, corn grits, sweet potato flour, and sorghum flour from the flour factories.
Each bag was fifty kilos, contained no additives, which also meant spending several hundred thousand more.
Food is the heaven for the people, it's always the most crucial thing.
Feng Qingxue was sure she wouldn't be able to exhaust all this grain in her lifetime, but it wouldn't hurt to prepare more.
She stocked up on coarse grains so she could still eat during food shortages without arousing suspicion.
Fearing others would find out, Feng Qingxue rented several warehouses in desolate suburbs. She had the flour factory deliver the grains in batches, then she stored them in the space bit by bit, telling the flour factory that the previous deliveries had already been shipped out.
Nowadays, people were apathetic and no one would bother to investigate these things too deeply.
Then, she went to the three provinces in the Northeast and bought high-quality rice from different factories, and stored it in the space in the same way.
