Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 201

As dawn broke, Zhang Xin made his decision. He separated from the group and set off to find his nephew and sister.

Perhaps it was because of Nanzhi's words last night, or maybe he had found his own resolve, but his previously gloomy demeanor had lightened.

"Leave it to me. Once I find them, I'll lead them to the base."

"Take care of yourselves! I still owe you favors!"

"You too, Uncle Zhang!"

Zhang Xin waved, then drove off, his vehicle disappearing into the distance.

After absorbing the spars last night, Nanzhi had advanced to the Tier 2 Late Stage. Lin Weihao, who had already broken through during the battle with the Winged Reaper Ants, reached the bottleneck of Tier 2 after absorbing more spars.

As for the others, they had set out early in the morning to hunt alien beasts. By noon, they had all reached Tier 1.

"Now my soil thorn, soil spike, and soil wall are much thicker! And I can use them four more times than before!"

Yu Baoyin clenched her fists excitedly, then raised them in front of Nanzhi. A thin layer of rock encased her hands.

"Look, Sister Nan! I learned this from Bingwen! Cool, right? Cool, right? Am I stronger than Brother Lin now? Soon, I'll be able to transform into a golem! Then you can have two boyfriends! Hahaha—"

Nanzhi's lips twitched. This girl's imagination was getting wilder.

A hand suddenly landed on Yu Baoyin's head. She turned around, only to meet Lin Weihao's unreadable gaze. His face was terrifying.

"I was just joking! Just joking!" Realizing she had provoked the thunder asura, Yu Baoyin quickly scurried behind Nanzhi for protection.

Feng Ran chortled before proudly showing off his new ability. "It's still in the early phase! But once I master it and increase my mental energy, I'll name it—Flame Emperor Sword!"

Nanzhi raised an eyebrow as she watched a short sword materialize in Feng Ran's hand. The blade was made entirely of fire. He swung it lightly, and the sword vanished after a single strike. Yet, rather than disappointment, his eyes shone with excitement.

"It won't be long before I can make a fiery sword array!" His mind was already picturing those epic CGI effects from RPG xianxia games. His heart thumped with enthusiasm.

"Hold on, Brother Lin, what's that bruise on your neck?"

At Feng Ran's words, everyone's eyes instantly zeroed in on the deep reddish-purple bruise on Lin Weihao's collarbone, as if caused by some rather… enthusiastic activity.

Then, in perfect synchronization, they all turned to look at Nanzhi. Their gazes were filled with deep curiosity.

Yu Baoyin's face burned red.

Feng Ran clutched his own neck, gasping dramatically. "Sister-in-law! Restrain yourself! I know you're enthusiastic, but Brother Lin is fragile! If you go too hard, his neck will—"

Smack!

"Ouch! How can you be so violent?" Feng Ran yelped, rubbing the swollen bump on his forehead.

"That's not what happened." Nanzhi withdrew her hand, her expression unreadable.

In reality, Lin Weihao had tripped last night. He'd tried to move around the bathtub, lost his balance, and ended up hitting his clavicle against the sink.

And furthermore… do you think I would leave a job unfinished?

Inside the Car, Several Minutes Later

"Happy now?"

Lin Weihao didn't even bother clarifying the situation.

"Zhi Zhi. How can you say that? I'm sad."

Nanzhi's lips twitched. Which part of his face looks sad?

He had the same expression she did when she received her reward from the survivors' rescue mission.

A notification broke her attention.

[Congratulations! You've reached the first achievement: 100,000 transactions!]

100,000 already?!

Nanzhi had underestimated the purchasing power of the military base's residents!

What she didn't know was that, because of her portable store, the base's market was booming. The whole place was beginning to resemble the pre-apocalyptic world!

[Five more slots have been added to your Portable Store!]
