I Am Cultivating in the Apocalypse-Chapter 1036 - 1035: Jing Shu: Can I Open a Supermarket on My Own Warship?

It grows incredibly fast, reaching all the cubes within the Magic Cube Space and can now skillfully harvest vegetables, replant seeds, automatically tidy the space, and even assist in pig deliveries.

Actually, livestock deliveries in the space are relatively easy; Black Egg just needs to watch and add some food.

But don’t underestimate these mundane tasks—one moment this vegetable ripens, the next moment that one needs replanting, then the cow is about to deliver, or rabbits are overcrowding the space. These trivial tasks occupy several hours of Jing Shu’s day.

But with Black Egg, she instantly felt more relaxed and had time to practice with the space. Her skills are soaring crazily every day, and she feels she can upgrade again in the near future.

Now the only thing left is to wait for the energy opportunity.

Where is the opportunity?

"Dear daughter, when the New Year comes, where will we go to play? Our ranch is lucky to have a seven-day break, oh, the unpaid kind," Mr. Jing said.

"Yeah, dear daughter, we’ve finally come all the way from Wu City to the South Sea. Back in the Northwest, going from one city to another was over a thousand kilometers, but here in the South Sea, mom feels like each city is just a few dozen kilometers apart."

Mrs. Jing rarely ventured out of Wu City before; even though she had seen the scenery during the migration route, back then, with uncertainty about the future and fear of the apocalypse, there was no mood for relaxation.

Now that the whole family has settled down, with such a big house in the South Sea, her work is also going well—except for her boss, Niu, she practically runs the department.

Although nowadays she increasingly feels overwhelmed, questioning every day whether she truly deserves her position, especially with a boss like Niu, who’s personable, well-connected, and talented, Mrs. Jing feels more and more inadequate.

The manager is skilled, business acumen sharp, managing the Wu City department efficiently, with diligent, loyal, and capable subordinates. How come she’s just mediocre?

But when even boss Niu is troubled, with issues like employee benefits, seeds from the Agricultural Department, or poor air quality affecting seedlings, Mrs. Jing surprisingly finds these issues aren’t problems for her.

When other departments queue for red earthworms, synthetic meat, or various foods, she gets a green channel.

She effortlessly signed contracts with the brewery and laundry powder factory, even just needing a word for those valuable purified branches to be delivered. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Others face hindrances when collecting medicines from the Medicine Association; she gets offered tea when she shows up, and it’s all sorted out while she sits on the sofa.

There are many such moments like this.

Oh, Mrs. Jing suddenly realized, this position truly suits only her.

Because she has a wonderful daughter!

When someone asks why she doesn’t nag about marriage, she retorts, "Nonsense, my daughter’s already perfect, why would she need it? Surely there’s one flaw to ensure the rest of life remains harmonious."

With the New Year near, the people of Wu City are slightly better off than last year, successfully surviving another year.

The New Year spirit in the South Sea is also strong; at least, every family saves up a bit to buy some New Year’s goods, like synthetic meat, cigarettes, beer, and gigantic meat.

This year, however, a new food emerged, with clever folks mixing gigantic meat with red earthworm meat and a pinch of synthetic meat to make smoked sausage.

One small piece only costs 2 virtual coins, offering more quantity than synthetic meat, yet is cheaper with a better taste than gigantic meat and red earthworm meat.

Add the New Year festivities, and it gained great popularity.

Grandma Jing also re-stuffed sausages, made various types of sausage and cured meat, while Mr. Jing made smoked chicken, duck, and goose, all hung on the battleship Jing Shu brought back, adding to what Jing Shu previously made—really a grand sight.

"So, shall we go out and play this year, take the battleship for a trip, and tour around the nearby cities?"

"Sure!"

The Jing family almost completed preparing New Year’s goods but remained busy, with Grandma Jing and Mr. Jing frequently running to the docked battleship to remodel some places and add more cabinets and shelves.

Jing Shu then suggested transforming one warehouse into a supermarket-like area, first to experience the feeling of shopping in a supermarket amidst the apocalypse.

Secondly, it’s because the family’s items, categorized neatly and unopened, pile up together, creating a massive warehouse each time someone enters.

However, taking items was quite inconvenient.

Why not use the battleship’s 100-square meter space to create a supermarket, neatly displaying various long-lasting supplies and items?

Then, whenever someone needs something, they can take it, and once nearly used up, restock new items.

It’s almost like there’s an extra transit point; it used to be the supermarket warehouse, now a supermarket collection center.

Wu You’ai gave a thumbs up, "Shu, you’re really daring to suggest this. It must be a lot of work to reorganize a supermarket’s supplies."

Mrs. Jing internally craved that supermarket shopping feeling but didn’t dare to echo the sentiment.

Being the doting father, Mr. Jing chimed in, "Although it’s a bit of hassle initially, afterward it’s really convenient—" his voice gradually fading.
