Qin Yi was shocked—this was an ability core! But the ability core of an ability user was grown in the brain… Why was it in her abdomen?

She focused, gathered her water ability, and went to shoot a water arrow into the distance but did not expect an ice arrow to shoot out. She had always been very calm, but even she was shocked.

She originally got her ice ability due to a mutation at a later stage. Why did she have it from the moment she arrived here? She only got her ability after the apocalypse, yet it was now with her earlier on. And that gray ball was not a lightning type. What exactly was it?

Qin Yi thought about it for a while and felt that it might be the efficacy of the spirit spring, which allowed her ability’s evolution to be brought forward. This was a good thing since an ice ability was more powerful than a water ability. One more ability type was more protection for her.

She looked down at her clothes and realized that her originally knee-length nightgown had become shorter, leading her to believe that the marrow washing made her grow quite a bit.

Qin Yi moved in a flash, now wearing a black, short-sleeved shirt and long pants. Noting that her pants had shortened quite a bit, she guessed that she had grown at least five centimeters taller. In her previous life, Qin Yi was anorexic and had always looked malnourished. During the apocalypse, her anorexia was cured, but she gave everything good to the Qin family.

She only ate biscuits and instant noodles while giving all the rice, meat, and vegetables to the Qin family. When she died, she wasn’t even over 1.6 meters tall, her appearance making her seem like a little girl who hadn’t ever grown up.

Qin Yi tied up her hair, wore a cap and mask, and brought along the card that her father, Qin Mian, gave her.

The apocalypse was just around the corner and she didn’t have much time left. She had to purchase supplies quickly.

Although Qin Mian hated her, he gave her a large allowance every month. Qin Yi knew that he was trying to keep her away by giving her lots of money, making sure she didn’t step foot into the Qin family.

‘There is about $500,000 in this card, but it’s not enough,’ Qin Yi thought. She looked at the apartment and suburbs she was currently living in and the villa under her name.

She went to an agency and sold the villa and the apartment for $10 million and $5 million respectively, planning to move out in August.

With cash in her hands, Qin Yi began buying, buying, and buying, throwing herself into it with vigor.

She first bought 100 kilograms of rice and millet each and 50 kilograms of various vegetables. After that, she bought ten seeds each of various fruit trees and headed to the supermarket to get household products like pots, shovels, oil…

It wasn’t easy to get hot food during the apocalypse. Now that she had these resources, she wouldn’t treat herself shabbily.

Toilet paper, check.

‘During the apocalypse, everyone used leaves to clean themselves, so this is a must-buy.’

Shampoo, check.

All sorts of clothing, check.

Water was very important during the apocalypse because most of the water resources were polluted and unsafe for human consumption, causing people to rely solely on the water ability users. Qin Yi swept all the bottles of water off the shelves without any hesitation.

Even someone like Qin Yi, who disliked shopping, felt a hint of joy in all of this. Finally, with a smile on her face despite the shocked faces around her, she got the shop assistant to deliver the goods to her apartment.

Qin Yi had spent half of her money on just that one shopping trip. Feeling hungry, she decided not to mistreat herself. She entered a restaurant, ready to enjoy her lunch.

When the mouth-watering boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili was served, Qin Yi felt instant gratification. It was very hard to obtain this amazing dish during the apocalypse, let alone eat it. She made a clean work of her food while planning her afternoon itinerary.

She had enough rice and vegetables, and the space would allow her plants to produce seeds, so she wasn’t worried about that. She also had all her daily necessities ready, and if they weren’t enough, she could stock up again during the apocalypse.
