Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 220: Big Cities Are Great, They Have Everything (3)

Ye Nai purchased some pretty good shower rooms. They had double-layer panels with an insulation layer in between, and the interior was spacious. Even someone two meters tall could stretch out their arms without any trouble. With a shower curtain dividing the space into two sections, the larger interior area was used for showering, while the smaller exterior area served as a changing room. Both had shelves and hooks for storage, and the ceiling was removable to allow for the installation of lights, powerful heating lamps, fans, and timed water supply switches.

All the wiring was connected to the left ear room, which was specifically reserved for electrical machinery. The right ear room was the boiler room. Both the hot and cold water pipes had been laid out, and all that was needed was to fit a boiler of the right size. There was more than enough room for someone to sit down on a chair inside, but for safety reasons, the door had to be left open when heating water to quickly detect any issues.

Once the idea for the mobile bathroom in the Secret Realm was conceived, Ye Nai thought of a mobile self-service laundry. The salesperson was impressed by her quick thinking and immediately showed her a hall-type prefabricated house suitable for a laundry shop. It was square with no internal divisions and had customizable space.

Not sure about the scale of the business she could manage, Ye Nai decided on a hundred square meters and asked the manufacturer to start preparations while she went to purchase washer-dryer combos.

The mobile bathrooms were the same; she had to buy electrical appliances, including a powerful heating lamp with a fan and a timed water supply switch.

The manufacturer also recommended a company in the same industrial park that made civilian nuclear batteries, which were not for vehicles but for powering household appliances. She was advised that installing a nuclear battery in the mobile bathroom would make it unnecessary to worry about electricity for the next decade. Even if the business were to shut down later, the battery might not even be used up.

Ye Nai paid the full amount for three sets of mobile houses and deposits for the others, then headed to the nuclear battery manufacturer according to the address provided by the prefab house manufacturer. In one go, she purchased twenty commercial model nuclear batteries.

After finishing these purchases, Ye Nai returned to her hotel and grabbed a bite to eat on the street.

Back in her hotel room, she locked the door and immediately entered the East Ridge Secret Realm. She stood on the highway outside Town No. 2 and lined up the three sets of prefabricated houses. Taking out the newly bought batteries, she installed them one by one.

She used one battery for her Courtyard House’s main building, while the health clinic’s multiple small houses shared one battery each. All the main lines were connected, and she simply needed to join the wires to the batteries using terminal connectors. It was so easy that even someone without any electrical skills could handle it.

After hooking up the wires, she returned to the house and started up the appliances, which were all functional. The simplest were the construction site rooms where the wires were exposed, waiting for her to install lights and appliances.

Ye Nai took out a pen and paper, brainstorming and noting down what she needed to purchase before returning to the hotel for rest.

The next day, she continued to run around the market.

She bought ten sets of commercial grade washer-dryer combos that would only unlock for clothing to be placed inside after payment was made by scanning a code. The washing machine and dryer charged separately; twenty yuan for washing and ten yuan for drying, payable only if used.

She also bought a long wooden board and several metal table legs to form a folding station. She purchased commercial-sized tubs of washing powder, fabric softener, and disinfectant, which the machines would dispense automatically. She just had to make sure the detergent boxes were kept full.

She prepared bathroom consumables for the mobile bathrooms as well, similar to those provided in hotels—small amounts of soap, shampoo, and shower gel packaged together in a small mesh bag. The bag could also act as storage and a lathering net for soap, which was convenient and attractive. The bags were charged separately—the bathroom fee was just for the shower and did not include personal care products.

She bought just a hundred sets of these because everyone entering the Secret Realm carried their own bathing supplies and thoroughly bathed when resting in the town behind the front lines. But in case someone was without, she had emergency supplies.

The boilers and outdoor stoves required biomass fuel, which could be used as fertilizer once burnt. Ye Nai swept through the market, purchasing over a thousand tons of biomass fuel at prices ranging from eight hundred to one thousand two hundred yuan per ton, based on the raw material.

To supply water to the bathrooms and laundry shop, she bought three ten-ton stainless steel vertical water storage tanks and matching water tower frames. These water tanks would provide water to the health clinic and her own house.

She bought several more tons of barrels so she could change the water in time.

For convenience in washing, she also purchased a stainless steel long bar sink with five faucets, the wastewater flowing into a fixed wastewater tank below, which couldn’t be detached. Once full, she either had to open the outlet to discharge the water or prepare a separate large-capacity wastewater barrel for transferring the sink’s wastewater.

Ye Nai bought many large-capacity wastewater tanks to avoid mixing them up someday; she even bought paint to label the tanks.

To buy water, Ye Nai went to the water plant.

The water plant had this business, teams would stockpile a large amount of water before departure because it was cheap, reliable, and refilled quickly. If you switched to another faucet, it would take forever to even fill a few barrels.

Ye Nai bought a thousand cubic meters of filtered clean water at a price of three and a half yuan per ton.

The salesperson took her directly to the pool where water was drawn. Looking at the pool filled with two thousand five hundred cubic meters of water, she accurately took her one thousand, forming a huge water sphere in the upper layer of the Space.

Just looking at it gave one a choking sensation of drowning.

She bought a hundred barrels of drinking water.

Before leaving the dangerous Area No. 5 of East Ridge City, she had returned all the water barrels she purchased from the water station. On her journey, she drank bottled water, and now she finally had barrel water again.

After purchasing everything, Ye Nai had huge signs made for the men’s bath, women’s bath, laundry, and hygiene station, as well as smaller signs for each room of the hygiene station and bathroom stall numbers, at a small advertising sign shop; then she hurried to the manufacturer to arrange all these functional portable buildings.

When she took out her large water tower-style storage tank, the manufacturer naturally helped her figure out how to connect it with the functional buildings.

In the end, they took a new floor base and connected it to the building’s base on the side, securing the four legs of the water tower to the baseboard, forming a complete unit. The inconvenient part for Ye Nai was that she would have to climb onto the roof and then up to the water tank to open the inlet when filling it with water.

But it was also convenient, as these functional buildings were already equipped with water supply pipes, with the outlets just outside the wall. The water tank’s supply pipe was directly connected to this outlet, thus solving the water supply for both the bath boilers and the laundry.

The large amounts of wastewater generated by these two water-using establishments would flow through the drainage pipes into a huge wastewater tank behind the houses. Worrying about the wastewater tanks getting full while staying in the wilderness for a long time without having returned to the small town in the rear, Ye Nai had the manufacturer install an additional wastewater tank for each.

With the extra wastewater tanks she had purchased, she should be able to do business for a month in the Secret Realm.

If that wasn’t enough, she’d buy more new tanks.

All the houses Ye Nai bought had such wastewater tanks, mostly installed under the rear wall, including her Courtyard House. Only the inverted row of houses didn’t have them, because the rear wall of this row was right outside the courtyard gate.

She used the same method for her stainless steel long bar sink, integrating it with the floor base. Behind the sink, she placed a ton barrel water tower stand with dual-barrels, using a three-way connector to connect the water outlets of both barrels to the sink’s inlet pipe. Once one barrel was empty, she’d switch to the other and then replace the empty water barrel.
