Chapter 572: Apocalypse True Daughter Cannon Fodder (43)

He was continuously mocked and ridiculed along the way.

Luo Baomiao’s face twisted momentarily.

These people used to be so polite to her, and even after realizing she wasn’t a true lady of wealth, they played with her quite nicely.

But now that Zuo Xia had broken off the engagement, they changed their faces, which was too hateful.

In fact, not to mention friends, even her own family had acted the same.

Just now, she had also seen Luo Ning, and her heart was filled with hatred.

If it weren’t for Luo Ning, how could she have been so passive? Today’s incidents had spread even more.

Her grandmother, who used to like her a lot, and aunts amongst others, changed their attitude towards her, not only becoming cold but also their words carried disdain and sarcasm.

What infuriated her most was that, aside from her third brother, the rest of the Luo Family had tacitly agreed.

She bowed her head, and her eyes flickered. If Jia Baofeng wouldn’t take her to the gathering, she would find another way to go.

She heard that not only the daughters of the upper-class families of the Capital City would go to this gathering, but the young masters would as well.

As long as she could attend the gathering, she would have a chance to turn things around.

Luo Baomiao clenched her fists. She was determined to make a name for herself at the Kyoto Base, getting these people to willingly fawn over her in the future.

On the other hand, Luo Ning and the other two continued shopping,

Looking at a desolate stall ahead, Mi Yan expressed her surprise, "There’s actually jewelry for sale, but will anyone buy it?"

Now that money had become useless, food resources had turned into the hard currency for commerce, so jewelry and antiques were even less desirable.

Luo Ning called out to the system in her mind.

"I obtained this Jade Pendant Space; can I take it to the next world?" she asked.

The system appeared, "As long as you can earn more than two thousand points in this world for good deeds, this space can be awarded to you, but a thousand points will be deducted as a usage fee."

It emphasized, "Of course, you can only use it in the Little World. Once you return to the original world and unbind from me, this pendant space will also disappear."

Luo Ning smiled and said, "That’s enough for me."

As long as she could use it in various Little Worlds, everything she collected would be useful, which was great.

"Let’s go take a look," she said, pulling the two with her.

The seller was a raggedly dressed old man who didn’t greet them as they approached.

Luo Ning scanned the stall, taking an interest in the jade and gold jewelry.

She pointed and asked, "How are these sold?"

The old man then looked up, "Exchange for food."

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay, give me a price."

The originally listless old man sat up straight in an instant, "Exchange for fifty kilograms of rice or flour, noodles..."

"If there’s no rice, you can also exchange it for instant noodles or other convenience foods, as long as it’s edible."

Luo Ning took out a fifty-kilogram bag of rice from her space, "Deal, exchanged!"

The old man immediately hugged the rice over, "It’s a deal, no going back."

He had set up this stall for most of the month and although people would often ask, as soon as they heard they had to trade food for it, they would leave, some even mocking him.

Living day to day with his son laboring at the base to support the family was heart-wrenching, so he persisted in setting up his stall.

This fifty kilograms of rice could feed them for a month or two if rationed, he truly didn’t expect this young lady to be so straightforward.

Luo Ning also collected the jewelry from the stall into her space, thinking they might come in handy in other worlds.

Mi Yan and Long Feifei were stunned to see Luo Ning exchange so much rice for some useless things.

Long Feifei reminded her, "These things aren’t valuable right now; they can’t be used for trading at the base."

Luo Ning simply smiled, "I just like the designs, I bought them to wear for fun."

Her demeanor attracted the attention of many onlookers who saw her as an easy mark.

A horde of people crowded around, asking Luo Ning if she wanted to buy their goods.

Luo Ning rejected, and as some people saw them as three beautiful girls with seemingly no significant Combat Power, someone attempted to force a buy or sell.

Then, they were beaten up badly by Luo Ning and her group, which made the crowd give way.

Many people also noticed Luo Ning and her companions, even keeping them in mind.

Especially Luo Ning, not only beautiful and well-tempered but also a Space Superpower User, presumably with abundant resources in her space; otherwise, she wouldn’t trade rice for useless jewelry.

After shopping, Long Feifei and Mi Yan both brought ingredients to Luo Ning’s place to cook.

After eating, they didn’t leave immediately but sat in the living room to drink coffee and chat.

Shen Yan went to find Fei Wenxi and others to head to the mission management office of the base, looking for suitable missions to undertake.

Long Feifei took a sip of coffee and asked Luo Ning and the other, "Do you want to go to the gathering the day after tomorrow?"

The invitation specified that guests could bring someone along.

Mi Yan shook her head, "I’m not really interested."

She came from an ordinary family before the apocalypse and had no interest in high society events, nor was she accustomed to them.

Long Feifei didn’t insist, "Okay, next time there’s a small gathering, I’ll invite you."

Then she asked Luo Ning, "What about you? Are you going?"

Just as Luo Ning was about to speak, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted them.

She rose to open the door and saw a young man in a suit standing at the entrance.

He spoke first, "May I ask if you are Miss Luo Ning?"

Luo Ning nodded, "I am, what can I do for you?"

The young man smiled and took out an invitation from his bag, handing it to Luo Ning, "This is a special delivery from our miss to Miss Luo, with the hope that you can find time to attend."

He added, "Originally, the miss wanted to visit Miss Luo personally, but unfortunately, she has been out and won’t return until tomorrow night, so she hopes to meet you at the gathering."

Luo Ning opened the invitation and glanced at it, with the name Qin Xinyue at the bottom.

She smiled and said, "Please tell her that I will attend."

She had been planning to contact Qin Xinyue in a couple of days and didn’t expect the other party to send an invitation first.

Clearly, Qin Xinyue had been keeping an eye on her, aware of her arrival at Kyoto Base.

The young man nodded with a smile, "Alright, then I won’t disturb you any further."

After politely finishing his words, he took his leave.

Luo Ning returned to the living room where Long Feifei, seeing the invitation in her hand, paused in surprise.

"It seems I don’t have to ask, you’re probably going, right?"

She laughed, "Let’s go together, it’s good to have company."

She didn’t ask why Luo Ning received an invitation, as it was her friend’s private affair.

Moreover, both Long Feifei and Mi Yan guessed that it was probably Lu Xun who had sent it.

Luo Ning laughed, "Alright, let’s go together."

"I’ll drive to pick you up the day after tomorrow," said Long Feifei.

Luo Ning nodded, "Okay!"

The next day, Luo Ning received another invitation, which bore the name Qin Xinyue as well, but it was Lu Xun who had it sent.

He even called Luo Ning on the communicator to ask if she was attending, and after confirming her attendance, he mentioned that he would be there too.

He wouldn’t usually be caught dead at such gatherings, but having not seen Luo Ning for several days made him look for an excuse to see her.

On the day of the gathering, Luo Ning took a dress suitable for the banquet out of her space, put on Jade jewelry she bought that day, applied makeup, and left the house to get into Long Feifei’s car.

The gathering took place at a high-class club.

Despite the apocalypse’s arrival, once the base was established and stabilized, various places of consumption rose again — most people never tire of company.

Upon their entrance, many people cast evaluating glances, mainly because both Long Feifei and Luo Ning were elegantly beautiful, each with their own charm.

Jia Baodiao and others were surprised when they saw Luo Ning, but quickly concealed their reactions.

They assumed Luo Ning was at the gathering thanks to Long Feifei’s company and therefore didn’t pay much attention to her.
