52: Chapter 52 Old Lu, what are you doing?

[I'm going.] I haven't seen you in a few days and I kind of miss you, so I must go.

[Are you interested in fire safety knowledge?] He was afraid she would be bored if she came.

[Of course, gaining knowledge is a good thing.] It never hurts to know common sense; on the contrary, it can even save a life at certain times.

Lu Chengyue replied happily, [I'm in charge of demonstrating the demolition tools, I'll be waiting for you.]

The conversation ended there. Lu Chengyue tossed and turned on his bed. He couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he was happy—yes, happy.

"Old Lu, what are you doing?" Jiang Yishen suddenly spoke up, scaring Lu Chengyue so much that his soul almost flew out of his body.

He quickly pulled the quilt down. "Nothing, nothing, my waist is uncomfortable."

Jiang Yishen leaned over, his eyes full of concern. "Did you sprain it? Let me rub it for you, don't let it delay things." As he spoke, he reached his hand into the quilt.

"Stop!" Lu Chengyue quickly pressed down on the quilt. "No need, just resting for a while will be fine."

Jiang Yishen nodded blankly. "Alright then, I'll go wash up first, you hurry up and get ready too."

After Jiang Yishen left the dormitory, Lu Chengyue finally relaxed and let out a sigh. This dating thing really isn't for just anyone; it's truly life-threatening.

Xu Wanning got up to wash up. "Zhiyu, your brother's Fire Station is having an open day today, want to go together?"

Going by herself would be too lonely, she needed a companion, and Zhiyu was the most suitable.

"Sure, I haven't seen my brother in a few days either." Zhiyu wiped her face clean. "Sigh, my brother has really changed. He never told me about events like this before, but now he's actually inviting you, tsk tsk tsk."

She guessed that the photos she sent had played a role. Hehe, she really was the perfect matchmaker.

The two went out to prepare for their morning training and just as they stepped out, they ran into Zhou Ke and the others walking into the courtyard.

When Zhou Ke saw her, he subconsciously dodged and walked to the very edge, his whole being surrounded by sadness.

He really liked the senior, but the senior didn't like him. However, he wasn't discouraged, just a little sad.

The senior liked guys with big builds, so he would train. Once he surpassed Lu Chengyue, he would go and steal her away.

But he had been going to the Gym for so long, and his arms were still thin. Would he ever have a chance to steal her away in his lifetime?

Jiang Heng came over heartlessly. "Sister Ning, you don't need to go to the store today, right?"

"Hmm, is something up?" Looking at his expression, she always felt he wanted to do something.

Jiang Heng scratched his head. "I want to buy some equipment to set up a network for these three houses of Grandpa Zhou's. That way, when the network cuts out in The Apocalypse, as long as we are within this range, we can chat anytime, without having to run over for every little thing."

"You know how to set that up?" Zhiyu looked at him in surprise.

"Yeah." Jiang Heng blinked. "Is that hard?"

Zhiyu was speechless. Not hard? If it were simple, why couldn't she do it?

Xu Wanning rubbed Jiang Heng's head. "After we finish eating, we'll go buy the equipment."

"Great!" Jiang Heng ran off happily.

Xu Yu nudged over and pointed to his own head.

Xu Wanning helplessly rubbed his head too. This kind of drama happened once or twice every day. No one had told her that younger brothers could get jealous too. Sigh, being an older sister is quite hard.

Xu Yu left, satisfied. She didn't know what they were thinking, but he even went over to Zhou Ke's place to show off.

Zhou Ke wanted to vomit blood even more. He had already said it, he didn't want to be a younger brother!

Zhiyu chuckled. "Having a younger brother is quite nice too. How about I ask my parents to give me another younger brother?"

Lu Mingyuan and Shen Yirou, who were sleeping in the room, felt a chill run through them and groggily hugged each other for warmth.

Xu Wanning patted her. "If you dare tell Uncle Lu and Aunt Shen, they will definitely beat you, the mixed doubles kind."

Zhiyu laughed out loud. "Indeed."

After she finished laughing, she remembered. "Will we have enough time to buy the equipment and then go to the Fire Station?"

Xu Wanning took out her phone. "Let me ask your brother."

[Brother Chengyue, I have to go buy some equipment first, what time do you start?]

Lu Chengyue replied very quickly, [It starts at 9:00 AM.]

That should be enough time. "After training, we'll go buy the equipment, then drop Jiang Heng off, and the two of us will go to the Fire Station. We can eat after watching your brother's demonstration, or eat in the car."

Zhiyu nodded. "Alright."

After the forty-minute morning training, Xu Wanning set off with Zhiyu and Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng truly knew his stuff; he knew exactly where to buy things and what kind of equipment was good. It took less than twenty minutes to finish buying everything. Worried that things might break during The Apocalypse and repairs would be difficult, they bought high-quality items. They bought ten sets in total, costing one hundred thousand yuan.

After paying, Xu Wanning turned around and saw Jiang Heng staring blankly at the computers in the computer mall next door. "You want one?" If they needed it, they should buy it. It would be frustrating to die with unspent money before The Apocalypse.

Jiang Heng's eyes sparkled. "Can I?"

"Of course, let's go." Xu Wanning pulled him over.

A sales clerk came over to introduce the products, but Jiang Heng waved his hand. "No need, no need. Listen to me, I want this configuration..." He took a piece of paper lying to the side and started writing furiously.

Zhiyu watched blankly. "Is he planning to assemble it himself?"

Xu Wanning nodded. "I think so. We don't understand, as long as the computer works, it's fine, but his requirements might be higher."

If the country knows about The Apocalypse, maybe the network won't collapse. In that case, these computers will come in handy.

The sales clerk looked at the list. "We have everything, I'll get them for you right now."

"I want ten sets," Xu Wanning said quickly.

The sales clerk smiled even more happily. Commissions, it's all commissions. People with deep pockets are truly adorable.

Jiang Heng nudged up to Xu Wanning, acting shy. "Sister Ning, thank you."

Xu Wanning patted his head. "You're welcome. Your skills will definitely come in handy in the future."

Jiang Heng held up one finger. "Then, then can I have a drone too? A good one."

Xu Wanning immediately perked up. "Sure, buy one hundred sets."

How could she forget such a useful thing? When there are no Supernatural Ability Users of the mental type around, drones can provide feedback on the surrounding situation from the air; they are absolutely necessary.

"Where are they sold? How much do they cost? If it's not enough, I'll ask Grandpa Zhou for more." Xu Wanning opened wechat, intending to ask for money.

"High-end ones cost over ten thousand per set." Jiang Heng rubbed his hands.

"Buy it, buy one hundred sets." She put her phone away; over 1 million is still enough.

"Great!" Jiang Heng was even more excited. He was truly lucky; how did he manage to become Sister Ning's little brother? Thank you, Jiang Heng from The Apocalypse, hehe.

They had driven a van this time. All the computer equipment was stuffed inside. After driving a short distance, she stored it all into her space and rushed off to buy the drones.

Once inside, Jiang Heng asked for the best model directly, priced at 13,888 yuan. Since they were buying a lot, they got it for 13,000 each. They paid a deposit and arranged for it to be delivered to the warehouse within three days.

By the time they dropped Jiang Heng off and rushed to the Fire Station, it was already 9:30. "I don't know if we're too late to see your brother's demonstration."

Zhiyu didn't mind. "If we miss it, we miss it. I've seen it several times already. Every time he demonstrates the same thing, it's boring."

Xu Wanning was anxious. "I haven't seen it. I promised your brother I'd go, I can't break my word."

After parking the car, the two of them hurried inside.
