Chapter 14: Pet Food Price Increase

Ling Mo took out his phone and started to browse posts, only to see that the top trending search today was asking whether the emergence of the game was a good thing or a bad thing.

It turns out that many people are now hospitalized due to coma caused by fever.

Among them, some suffered from heatstroke due to the hot weather and unwillingness to turn on the air conditioner, but the vast majority were game players.

These people's body temperatures are frighteningly high, generally reaching 40 degrees, and medication has no effect on relieving their symptoms.

Ling Mo thought of the information mentioned by the system when she awakened, three days, so she guessed that three days might be a time limit.

My blind guess is that the shorter the time taken to awaken, the stronger the talent will be.

Below the post there are suggestions from experts. Since the medicine doesn't work, you can only bear with it and try to stay in a cool environment.

Ling Mo took a look and then lost interest in reading any further. It would be better if these experts did not give any advice at all, as they were just talking nonsense.

I opened another post that I often read, which was filled with a lot of survival enthusiasts. Many people were complaining that food prices were rising too fast, and that they couldn't buy much food with the money they had, or even couldn't buy any food at all.

Seeing this, Ling Mo posted that he could stock up on cat and dog food.

What's wrong with pet food? It's not that time to divide it into such small categories. You know, in the past, during years of disaster, even grass and tree bark were edible.

Moreover, dog and cat food contain meat, which is not much more nutritious than tree bark, and pet food, which is all high-quality protein.

After all, people nowadays keep their pets very elaborately, and there are many cases where pets eat better than humans.

Ling Mo's speech was so powerful that it caused a huge uproar.

Those who have pets may have thought of this a long time ago, but those who have never had pets can easily overlook this point.

What Ling Mo didn't know was that because of her words, almost all pet food manufacturers were flooded with orders tonight.

But even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care, as long as her supplies could be shipped normally.

The next day, the alarm clock rang on time at six o'clock.

Ling Mo struggled to get up from the bed, then went to wash, change clothes and have breakfast.

After one night, the swimming pool was full of water. Ling Mo stored it in the space, and then assembled a new swimming pool to continue collecting water.

It took exactly one hour to finish all this. At seven o'clock, Ling Mo turned on the interstellar language learning machine on time and started today's study.

Interstellar language is like another form of Chinese, so although Ling Mo finds it a bit difficult to learn, he is not completely clueless.

After a morning of study, Ling Mo felt as if a new door had been opened for him.

It was not until noon that the doorbell rang and she came back to her senses from her studies. It turned out that the pet food she ordered had arrived, three trucks in total, one truck of cat food, one truck of dog food, and one truck of pet snacks.

Do you think that's all? You are totally wrong. Some of them were sent to the warehouse outside.

The villa has a garage, but Ling Mo doesn't have a car, so she uses the garage as a warehouse.

When people were moving all the things into the garage, Ling Mo learned from the conversations of the workers who were moving the things that in just one day, the prices of these pet foods, especially cat and dog foods, had skyrocketed like food.

A worker said, "Little girl, luckily you placed the order early. If you had placed the order a day later, you would have had to pay several times more than before to buy so much pet food, and you might not even be able to buy so much."

Ling Mo distributed bottles of unopened mineral water to the porters. "I have no choice. I can't compete with those uncles and aunts. I can only find another way."

After these people left, Ling Mo closed the garage door and put all the things inside into the space, leaving only a small part outside.

Of course she wouldn't eat the pet food, but she could use it to cover up her tracks.

After lunch, Ling Mo took an hour's nap and then went to her gym, which contained the fitness equipment she had just bought.

She had never worked out before and didn't know how to use many fitness equipment. She was afraid of straining her muscles if she worked out blindly, which would not be worth the effort.

Therefore, she could only follow the downloaded tutorial step by step.

After working hard for an entire afternoon and working up a sweat, Ling Mo felt tired but also indescribably refreshed.

Looking outside, it was approaching dusk and the temperature began to drop. Ling Mo took a shower, changed into clean clothes, put on a sun hat, and prepared to go out after doing some sun protection.

First, she took away the cat food and dog food in the warehouse. After this incident, the warehouse was about to expire, and this should be her last time using this warehouse.

On the way back, Ling Mo found that there were two fully armed soldiers standing in front of every supermarket, and some small supermarkets were closed today for some reason.

Perhaps because of her awakened spiritual power, Ling Mo's observation ability is now very sharp. She can clearly feel that the weapons in those two people's hands are real weapons, and they are all loaded.

I stopped the car and walked towards a large supermarket. I found that although it was crowded, it was very orderly and there was no madness like yesterday.

I looked at the price of grain again, and found that it had gone up a lot. Now it's 300 yuan per catty of rice, and each person is limited to one catty of grain per day.

It seems that the country has already taken action. Could it be that some players have already woken up?
Ling Mo calculated the time. Today was exactly the third day since the end of the first game.

Sure enough, there is no shortage of talented people in this world.

The fact is just as Ling Mo expected, there are indeed players who have awakened their talents, but the number is very small, and all of them are trained and determined soldiers.

Due to the limited quantity, Ling Mo didn't buy many things and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. After all, if he couldn't spend the money, it would just become a piece of waste paper.

And now you can’t shop online. Even if you place an order, they won’t ship it.

When I get home, I throw everything in my hands into the space, turn on the TV, and watch today's news while exercising my mental strength.

The so-called exercise of mental power means using mental power to do housework, such as assembling a swimming pool, cleaning, and moving furniture.

Ling Mo's mental strength is still relatively weak now, so he can only move some smaller furniture, and not for too long.

However, what surprised her most was that she could now store things in space through the air, whereas before she had to use both hands to do so. This should be related to her talent mutation.

In addition, the perception range has also increased from the original radius of three meters to a radius of five meters.
