Chapter 249: Definitely a big shot

Lin Murong yelped pitifully as he was being struck, with his own actions to blame for his plight.

No one here felt sympathy for him.

“Why did you have to hit so hard?”

“Does it hurt?”

“It hurts.” Lin Murong covered the injured area, looking pitiful.

“Good, it’s supposed to hurt. Without pain, there’s no lesson learned.” Su Yinhe said with a smirk.

Lin Murong felt a chill down his spine.

…

Thinking of those supplies, Gao Chu decided to take the risk.

So many supplies, it was only a little dangerous.

Besides, wanting supplies in the past also meant battling zombies, mutated plants, and mutant animals–all were dangerous.

It was all equally perilous.

But the danger back then didn’t come with the amount of supplies that were available now.

Previously, one had to work hard, sustain numerous injuries, and in the end, might only obtain a pitifully small amount of supplies, sometimes none at all.

Going to the supermarket only presented the risk of being discovered.

As long as she was careful not to get caught, even that risk would be gone.

Gao Chu was bold; she said she’d go, and she went.

The very next day, before dawn had broken, she rushed over.

Upon reaching the vicinity, she immediately changed her demeanor and movements.

In a flash, she went from looking like a young person to an elderly one.

However, she arrived too early and the supermarket wasn’t open yet.

But being early was still good.

Gao Chu sat and waited, then started to reflect on whether she had left any loose ends the day before and contemplated what might still be lacking today.

She worried those fools might catch on and refuse to sell her anything.

She had purposely brought a lot of Crystal Cores today.

She still possessed many Crystal Cores.

She had pulled them all out–a whole bag full, and she had “struggled” to drag it over there.

She was just waiting to exchange them for supplies.

Sometimes, Gao Chu felt she was quite adaptable; the supermarket was obviously odd, but she dared enter, and after seeing the sign, she naturally came to accept it.

She didn’t plan on probing into it.

Having supplies was what mattered.

If there were supplies, nothing else was an issue.

Supplies were all that was important; she wasn’t overtly curious.

She only wanted the supplies.

Supplies, supplies!

Here she came!

Just when would they open?

Supplies, supplies.

Gao Chu looked on eagerly.

She sat in front of the glass wall, through which she could see the supplies inside; she really wanted to break the glass and take them.

But she couldn’t.

She hadn’t yet grasped the extent of those three fools’ superpowers; it wasn’t wise to act rashly.

In these times, anyone daring enough to play the fool, if they weren’t strong, would have been killed long ago.

They must be formidable.

Gao Chu restrained her eager heart.

No, no.

Hold back.

Everything was for the sake of supplies.

Supplies, supplies.

After the supermarket doors opened, Gao Chu almost forgot she had to continue pretending to be Grandma; she wanted to rush over.

Fortunately, as she started moving, she remembered her role and stopped herself in her tracks.

When Lin Murong saw Grandma again, he couldn’t have been more obsequious.

“Grandma, you’re back again. This whole bag is filled with Crystal Cores. That’s really impressive.” Lin Murong was very obsequious.

He had always thought that Grandma was a master of concealment.

Now, seeing the large bag of Crystal Cores Gao Chu had brought made him even more convinced.

Su Yinhe: “…”

Couldn’t bear to watch, just couldn’t.

Su Yinhe covered her face–she now thought Lin Murong should consider working at Haidilao as a server.

This kind of service attitude was just what Haidilao needed in an employee.

Gao Chu was a bit more nervous than the day before.

She had broken out in a cold sweat, dampening her clothes.

Her clothes were the same as the day before; she hadn’t dared change them.

Afraid they would detect that something was amiss.

While doing her makeup, she tried hard to remember how she had done it yesterday.

Even though she felt like they couldn’t have seen her face clearly–she had hunched over all day yesterday–they probably didn’t get a clear look at her face.

But Gao Chu didn’t dare to gamble.

He just didn’t dare.

He was afraid.

If anything went wrong, it would mean no supplies at all.

You can go without anything, but supplies must not be compromised.

So, Gao Chu put his whole heart into it.

When Lin Murong came over to help him, Gao Chu’s arms were shaking, but the moment Lin Murong touched him, he immediately controlled his arms to stop shaking.

He couldn’t afford any mistakes.

The whole process went smoothly for Gao Chu.

Fortunately, none of the three of them sensed anything amiss.

Gao Chu managed to bluff his way through.

Gao Chu was a bit annoyed.

He should really be able to handle this, so why did this fool named Lin Murong keep helping him?

He was always following him. He

really didn’t need the help.

Damn it.

Why can’t he just go?

Although he cursed inwardly, Gao Chu kept a straight face, which made him all the more inscrutable.

And so, Lin Murong thought of him as even more of an expert.

He treated him with even more respect.

It wasn’t just that Lin Murong was following him around; he also kept asking Gao Chu how he normally improved his superpower.

How could he improve it?

It was nothing but killing zombies, mutated plants, mutant animals, and absorbing energy from the Crystal Core–how else could he train?

Confirmed.

He was definitely a fool.

And a talkative one at that.

How could he make him shut up?

Ah, ah, ah.

Kill him.

Just kill him.

Why did he have to keep following him?

Why follow him when he could manage on his own?

He could!

He really didn’t need him to lead the way.

He wasn’t incapable of wandering around by himself.

Damn it.

Gao Chu was increasingly wanting to kill someone.

But he didn’t dare to act.

He couldn’t make a move.

He’s a fool; he’s a fool, Gao Chu kept telling himself.

He had to be patient.

He had to endure…

It was all for the sake of supplies.

If it weren’t for the supplies, he wouldn’t be listening to this fool’s incessant prattle.

Whining…

So noisy.

If it were anyone else, Gao Chu would have slapped them by now, killed them.

But it was all for the supplies.

Although it was hard to bear, he had the supplies in the end.

“Grandma,” laden with a heap of supplies, made her way, and Lin Murong looked at her worriedly, even thinking of going to help.

“This is too heavy, let me help you.”

Gao Chu: “…”

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Get lost.

He could manage on his own.

He could manage on his own!

He could!

Don’t come over.

“Is it just my imagination, or does Grandma seem much more agile than before?” Lin Murong scratched his head, pondering.

“It’s not your imagination, she indeed has become a lot more agile than on the way here.” Su Yinhe confirmed, it was not Lin Murong’s misconception, the “Grandma” had indeed become much more nimble.

She had noticed too.

“Indeed.” Even Chi Yan nodded his head.

“She really is more than meets the eye,” Lin Murong became more certain.

“She’s definitely a big shot.”
