Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Time Limit Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Time Limit A day before. Xi Ping walked toward her room and was thrilled when she saw the clean and luxurious room. The room assigned to her had a living room, a master bedroom, a kitchen, and a living room with a balcony. It didn’t reek like the houses in Crystal Cove did. Neither it was dirty and ruined like the room in the Crystal Cove base. Once inside the master bedroom, Xi Ping was delighted to see a clean bathroom. When she saw what seemed like a shower handle, she couldn’t suppress her curiosity and turned it on. Xi Ping stood under the cascading water, feeling its coolness against her skin. She closed her eyes, savoring the sensation, and chuckled softly. It had been ages since she experienced something so simple yet luxurious—a proper shower. The water washed away the grime and weariness accumulated from her time in the filthy and perilous Crystal Cove. Her excitement grew when she spotted bottles neatly arranged on a shelf. Picking up the shower gel, she squinted at the instructions, murmuring the words under her breath as if reading sacred text. Once confident, she poured a small amount into her palm, marveling at its silky texture and pleasant fragrance. The soft lather against her skin was nothing short of magical. After thoroughly cleaning herself, she stepped out of the shower feeling rejuvenated, her damp hair clinging to her shoulders. That’s when she realized her predicament—no clothes. Her heart sank momentarily, but her gaze fell upon a sleek wardrobe near the corner of the room. Hope sparked within her as she approached it. Upon opening the doors, she gasped. Rows of neatly folded tops and pairs of jeans filled the space, all identical in style and color—a basic yet serviceable navy blue. A smile tugged at her lips. “I guess choice isn’t a luxury in the apocalypse,” she mused. Grateful nonetheless, she pulled out a set and slipped into the clothes, marveling at their softness and perfect fit. She stretched her arms and twirled slightly, letting the fabric settle comfortably. It felt surreal to have something so clean and well-made. Just then, her stomach growled, pulling her thoughts to her next need—food. Xi Ping opened the door, intent on finding something to eat. Halfway down the hall, she bumped into Yuan Xin, who approached her with a warm smile and handed her a sleek black card. “This is from Boss Su,” Yuan Xin explained. “You can use it to buy anything you need. Just swipe it at the counter.” Xi Ping took the card with a composed nod, though excitement bubbled within her. Downstairs, the vending machine stood gleaming like a beacon of abundance. Her eyes lit up as she scanned the options: rows of colorful packets, drinks, and other items she had only seen in her dreams. With a trembling hand, she swiped the black card, and the machine beeped, its light turning green. Xi Ping pressed the button for instant noodles and juice. The items clattered into the tray below, and she grabbed them quickly. Back in her room, Xi Ping read the instructions on the noodle package carefully. She boiled water in the provided electric kettle and poured it into the cup of noodles, watching as the dried ingredients transformed before her eyes. The aroma wafting through the air made her stomach rumble even louder. She stirred the contents with a fork and let it sit for the recommended time. Finally, the moment arrived. She took a cautious bite, the hot noodles sliding into her mouth. Her eyes widened in delight as the savory flavors exploded on her tongue. “So good!” she exclaimed, her voice echoing in the quiet room. She alternated between slurping the noodles and sipping the sweet, tangy orange juice, which felt like sunshine in a bottle. As she finished the meal, a sense of contentment settled over her. Leaning back in her chair, Xi Ping patted her full stomach and sighed happily. Wanting to explore the wonderland she was in, Xi Ping set out and found a supermarket. Without hesitation, Xi Ping bought canned fruits, meat, snacks, chocolate bars, rice, sprouts, medicines, slippers, blankets, etc. Then she walked around and entered different stores. From honey to temperature-controlling coats. She also bought different weapons. To her Boss Su’s base was a heaven. Especially the black card in her hand. She can buy anything. For a moment Xi Ping felt as if she was the wife of the Base owner. Suddenly the image of a beautiful woman with purple eyes flashed in her mind. Xi Ping blushed as she sorted out the items in her hands. Honestly, she had a good impression of Boss Su. She was a kind and generous woman. However, due to her own past experiences, Xi Ping didn’t rush to show her soft side to Boss Su. After all, she still has revenge to extract from her foster parents. Revenge is an emotion that can harm the person who wants to take it, but it can also harm the people around that person. And she doesn’t want to implicate the person who was kind to her. ………… After knowing of her origin, Su Jiyai was unnervingly calm. The system was spooked. [Host?] Su Jiyai ignored the system’s calling and continued to absorb the crystals. Her prime focus was to become powerful. [Host are you not going to ask any questions?] No response. [Host?] “Shut up.” Su Jiyai said calmly. Instead of asking a stupid system that might give her the wrong answer with confidence, Su Jiyai believed in her intelligence more. Maybe it will take time for her to figure out the entire truth, but she will eventually do it. Once all the space crystals were finished, Su Jiyai felt a strange kind of emptiness enveloping her. For some reason, she wanted to meet Qin Feng and talk with him. The time limit of half a year was about to end…will she now be able to meet Qin Feng without any obstacles?
