The future is uncertain, but for Song Xiaozhu right now, just thinking about it makes her heart ache, it hurts so much it's like her heart is clenching.

Song Xiaozhu also saw the capacity of the "warehouse," which was larger than she had imagined. Presumably because it was immovable and had usage restrictions, the warehouse, which was made of three sturdy small boxes, had doubled in capacity, and even the stacking limit had increased from 100 to 200.

It truly lives up to its name as a "warehouse".

This tiny device, which occupies only one square meter, has a full 600 slots, and each slot can be stacked with 200 units. How could it not hold a single steel knife? It could clearly hold 120,000!

120,000 steel knives...

Song Xiaozhu pondered for a moment: was it really necessary to eat 100 of her high-grade animal traps?

If all the goods inside were dumped out, they could probably kill a thief.

This is only a level one warehouse; what will level two and three look like?

It could probably hold the supplies of an entire town... well, let's be bolder, the supplies of an entire nation!

Song Xiaozhu granted them different permissions, allowing them to access the goods sold in the store. One advantage of this authorization was that it didn't have to be limited to one item at a time. For example, Chen Quanquan was granted access to light meals and water, while Chen An'an was granted access to anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and other medications.

With the "permissions," they were also able to use the "repository."

Song Xiaozhu leaned closer for a look and discovered that they couldn't see the entire "warehouse," only the synthetic items she had been authorized to use. For example, in Old Chen's eyes, the box contained a full 200 steel knives. He gasped, ashamed of his ignorance, and earnestly asked, "Miss, how do I retrieve them?"

Song Xiaozhu: "Click, enter the quantity, but don't take too much at once. It's a bit dangerous without Employee Backpack."

Old Chen tried it out; he was very cautious and only entered "1".

A steel knife suddenly appeared in his hand, startling him. Luckily, his wife Qiao'an, reacted quickly and caught the knife.

Song Xiaozhu: "It's okay, you'll get used to it after a while."

This ability, which is almost like "telekinesis," is indeed enough to frighten ordinary people.

Fortunately, they are so "famous" in Liu Family Village that the villagers are no longer surprised by anything outrageous, and their acceptance level is probably even higher than that of the shop's employees.

The Old Chen family was eager to try it out and wanted to get used to it as soon as possible, but seeing that Song Xiaozhu was still there and remembering that there were other tests to be done, they patiently waited.

Song Xiaozhu then had Tian Man and Luo Liuzi test the compatibility between the "warehouse" and the "Employee Backpack".

Indeed, the most convenient way to use this "warehouse" is by connecting it to the "Employee Backpack".

Luo Liuzi: "Wow, so convenient! Wow, so much fun! Wow, so cool!"

In the eyes of Old Chen's family, their sixth uncle seemed to have gone mad, clicking on the silver card, clicking on the warehouse panel... clicking back and forth but nothing came out.

Because their access was restricted, they couldn't see the [Raw Wood Material].

In fact, Luo Liuzi was frantically fiddling around, putting 10 sets of [Raw Wood Material] from the "Employee Backpack" into the "warehouse," and then taking out 10 sets of [Raw Wood Material] from the "warehouse"... going back and forth like this.

In reality, only the numbers changed, but Luo Liuzi knew this was a real transfer of supplies and was having a great time.

Song Xiaozhu smiled and said, "In that case, you don't need to wait for me. Just collect the [Raw Material] and put them directly into the 'warehouse'."

Luo Liuzi Tian Man said in unison, "Yes!"

Even the composed Tian Man found this "warehouse" really interesting; such Xiaoxiao body contained a lot of energy!

After testing the "warehouse," everyone went about their own business. Song Xiaozhu, still preoccupied with something, got up and left the shop to find Xiao Yunjie at the front.

Xiao Yunjie has already started making arrangements for the new shop, and it can open as soon as the goods arrive.

As for the new shop staff, Xiao Yunjie had already provided candidates, waiting for Song Xiaozhu to make the final decision.

Xiao Yunjie knows the villagers of Liu Family Village like the back of her hand. With her recommendation, the quality of the employees is beyond question, and their loyalty is even more unquestionable.

Nowadays, Song Xiaozhu is the spiritual leader of the village. When everyone hears that they are going to work in the shop, it is as great as passing the imperial examination in ancient times, a great thing that brings honor to the ancestors.

With the shop secured, the three "warehouses" were also settled.

Song Xiaozhu then discussed village construction and defense arrangements with Xiao Yunjie.

Finally, Xiao Yunjie asked with a hint of nervousness, "Miss, will the village be in danger in the next few days?"

He truly deserves to be called the most perceptive person in Liu Family Village.

Xiao Yunjie noticed.

It wasn't that the village patrol team had made any discoveries, but rather that Song Xiaozhu's focus these days was too obvious. She had been keeping an eye on urban construction and defense, especially the latter, asking her about the progress of setting up traps every day.

After the beast tide passed, Ink City... or rather, the Testing Ground No. 49, was completely exposed.

In this moment of both hope and crisis, no one knows what will happen next.

If it weren't for Song Xiaozhu, the villagers would probably be living in constant fear and anxiety.

Because of Song Xiaozhu, they were able to maintain hope and dare to face the unknown challenges even in the face of such earth-shattering changes.

The villagers rely entirely on Miss Song, but Xiao Yunjie has to solve her problems.

No matter how capable Miss Song is, she is still just one person, and her thin shoulders have already carried too much.

Xiao Yunjie asked the question at this moment mainly because she was worried that Song Xiaozhu would keep it to herself and be too tense.

After a moment's thought, Song Xiaozhu explained, "I've fixed my personal terminal."

Xiao Yunjie: "So fast?"

"The personal terminal itself is fine; it's just locked."

"After unlocking it, I studied it carefully and made some new discoveries..." Song Xiaozhu said, taking out the communicator she had previously synthesized. "This is a simplified version I made. Currently, it can't be used in large quantities, but when conditions are right, patrol teams carrying this will be able to go further."
