After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Chapter 3: 10-Square-Meter Storage Compartment

The salesman enthusiastically helped Nina Jacobs set up an installment plan.

This took Nina by surprise, as she had already applied for several loans in a short amount of time.

"An installment plan is much more cost-effective than paying in full.

I’ve already set up a special arrangement for you.

Plus, not only will you get a subsidy, but I can also get you a ton of freebies."

The salesman rattled on eloquently, calculator in hand.

The freebies included over ten blankets, plus dinnerware, rice, cooking oil, and more.

"Thank you."

Nina had never met such an enthusiastic salesman.

"Of course, of course. Business has been slow recently.

You’re saving my sales numbers for the month."

The salesman said, handing Nina a cup of coffee with a grateful look on his face.

"Here, this is for you. It’s portable and very convenient."

Before driving off, Nina gave the salesman a palm-sized object: a compressed, foldable adult raincoat.

"Wow, this is great. So practical."

The salesman was pleasantly surprised; it was rare for a customer to give him a gift.

It wasn’t anything valuable, but after Nina left, he still tucked it carefully into his bag.

Now that she had a car, Nina didn’t plan on sitting idle. She decided to head to City D’s wholesale market to buy more supplies.

The only problem was, she hadn’t unlocked her system’s storage space yet, so she’d have to drive back and forth to her old house several times.

’Just what I needed.’

Nina’s eyes lit up.

In her last life, she hadn’t bonded with the system until the acid rain began.

She had thought she’d have to wait for the acid rain to arrive before she could get any quests this time, but a quest had appeared much earlier than expected.

A single system storage slot was more than enough for her stockpiling needs.

Nina drove straight to the seed wholesale market without a moment’s hesitation.

The quest didn’t specify the type of seeds, so Nina planned to focus on buying seeds for grains and vegetables. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The acid rain wouldn’t just corrode human flesh; it would also destroy plants, animals, and even the soil itself.

Any plant touched by the acid rain would die instantly, and nothing would be able to grow in the contaminated soil.

She recalled certain events from her past life. To avoid attracting unwanted attention,

Nina visited every shop in the seed market, placing separate orders for different seeds at each one.

The quest had no quantity requirement, so Nina only ordered about ten pounds of each type of seed.

Collect Seeds (78/100)

An hour later, Nina glanced at the system panel. She still needed over twenty more types.

The local varieties of grains and vegetables were limited, so Nina also bought small quantities of fruit tree seeds and medicinal herb seeds.

Before she knew it, she had collected over 140 different types of seeds.

[Host task complete. Claim reward?]

"Claim."

As soon as she got back into her jam-packed SUV, Nina immediately claimed her reward.

The initial system storage slot was only 10 square meters.

But it was enough to solve her immediate problem.

In a 10-square-meter storage space, she could stack items as high as she wanted.

With a mere wave of her hand, all the bags of seeds inside the car vanished into the storage slot.

As evening fell, Nina drove around by herself, hitting up every pharmacy she could find along the roads in City D.

She bought plenty of fever reducers, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, styptics, and various balms for bruises and sprains.

She could have easily bought everything in one go.

But she remembered that in her previous life, a mysterious organization had appeared within Drakonia.
