My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 319: Chapter 226: Little White Elephant Knocks on the Nation’s Gate

Once the heavy snows arrived, the freezing rain and snow would last for three to four months, and there probably wouldn’t be much business.

But Li Xiang was generous. He told the young women and the security guards that if the snow got too heavy, the scenic area would close down. They could work from home and do livestreams. He wasn’t sure if the couriers would still be running then. If they were, they could sell products via livestream. When the deliveries stopped, they would get a vacation.

A paid vacation.

Upon hearing this, the employees went wild with joy. This was almost as good as a government job. A paid vacation! When had they ever enjoyed something like that in their lives?

No work for three or four months, yet a salary would come in every month. Who among the country folk could even imagine such a thing?

Yao Yao thought to herself, ’Even if the others don’t come, I definitely will. What’s the fun in cooping myself up at home? Of course it’s more fun to be with Brother Xiang.’

She didn’t know that Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui were thinking the exact same thing.

They were Extraordinary Beings; the heavy snow couldn’t stop them. Driving might not be possible, but for such a short distance, they could just run over.

As for Lei Jiaming, Li Xiang had already made arrangements for him. He would lead a team of security guards to clear out the invading wild boars from the surrounding villages, protecting the lives and property of the local folk.

Having been taught advanced Martial Arts by Li Xiang, their strength had greatly improved. Lei Jiaming, in particular, was already a Tier One Transcendent, so dealing with wild boars would be a piece of cake for him.

The Indonesian Vine Sticks he had distributed to them earlier were sturdy, durable, and highly flexible. Add a spearhead, and they would become deadly weapons.

As for Li Xiang himself, he had long since stopped caring about mere wild boars.

The weather grew colder and colder. Li Xiang trained hard every day, prepared supplies for the winter, bought plenty of new clothes for his grandmother and maternal grandparents, and then sent a large amount of Korean Ginseng to the Jiang Family and his grandparents.

His grandmother, of course, used the Korean Ginseng to make tea every day. She also gave a few stalks to her close friends in the village, like Third Granny.

This type of Korean Ginseng was milder than Spiritual Medicine. A small amount daily, say two or three grams a day, could be consumed over a long period.

But Spiritual Medicine was a different story. Even a Tier One Spiritual Medicine would be a burden for elderly people who couldn’t cultivate if they consumed too much.

Those hundreds of tons of Celestial Level Korean Ginseng had all been plundered from several well-known chaebols in Korea, not from ordinary civilians.

The chaebols of South Korea were utterly depraved—manipulating politics, toying with female celebrities, and committing every imaginable evil.

Li Xiang felt no guilt about looting them; in fact, he found it rather satisfying. It was just that his system’s inventory was running out of space, or else he would have gone back for another round of plunder.

Li Xiang remembered that around 2009, a South Korean actress named Jang Ja-yeon had committed suicide after leaving behind dozens of letters.

These letters exposed the true faces of many of South Korea’s chaebols, causing a massive sensation at the time.

In the four years before her suicide, she was arbitrarily abused by high-level chaebol executives. The process was extremely perverted and humiliating, and in the end, she simply couldn’t bear it anymore and chose to end her life.

That was just what had been exposed. It was hard to imagine how many other cases remained hidden from the public.

And it wasn’t just the men who were corrupt; there were women, too. A South Korean chaebol heiress named Huang Henan was caught using illegal drugs in a nightclub district. She was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for two years, and given a 10,000 yuan fine.

Not long after, Huang Henan was caught using drugs again. However, her boyfriend became the scapegoat.

That boyfriend got off relatively easy; her subsequent boyfriends met even more tragic fates.

People close to Huang Henan often joked, ”If you get too close to Huang Henan, you die.”

Even with her extensive criminal record, and even with the mysterious deaths of people around her, she continued to live a carefree life. No one in South Korea dared to touch her.

As for the fact that South Korean presidents never meet a good end, that too has a historical ”tradition” tracing back to Li Chenggui in the early Great Ming period. There are many stories there.

In short, Li Xiang planned to pay a visit to each and every one of these evil forces.

Time flew, and soon, the National Day mini-holiday arrived.

On the afternoon before National Day, Li Xiang went to pick up Jiang Cai’Er from school. He couldn’t be bothered to drive. At 5 Mach, it only took him a dozen or so seconds to get there.

After meeting up with Jiang Cai’Er, he led her to a secluded spot. Seeing that no one was around, he picked her up, and in a flash, they were in the mountain forest near the village in just a few breaths’ time.

The robotic dog and their luggage were, of course, stored in his system’s inventory, to be taken out again once they were near his home.

The mountain forest was deserted. A bout of intimacy and romance ensued.

A thought couldn’t help but pop into Jiang Cai’Er’s mind: ’How has Big Brother’s kissing technique gotten so skillful?’ She was about to faint.

After a long while, Li Xiang let her go. He took out a Ruby Gold Ring inlaid with small diamonds around the edge and slipped it onto her finger. ”This little trinket is for you. It has about three cubic meters of space inside, which should make things more convenient from now on.”

”It’s so beautiful!” Jiang Cai’Er’s eyes lit up. She wiggled her fingers, clearly adoring it.

The ring Li Xiang gave her was not empty. Inside, it was filled with a large amount of Spiritual Medicine, cash, and jewelry.

These items alone were worth billions and couldn’t be bought with money.

Additionally, there were some delicious snacks like chocolate, nuts, and preserved plums, as well as high-end Darjeeling black tea and coffee.

All this took up about two-thirds of the space, leaving roughly one-third, or about one cubic meter, for her daily use.

”The space is a bit small, I admit, but Space Gemstones are hard to come by. I’ll get you a bigger one when I have the chance,” Li Xiang said.

Jiang Cai’Er beamed and said, ”It’s already wonderful. Thank you for the gift, my dear... husband.”

It was, after all, the first time she had called him that. Being so young, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. But Li Xiang still heard it and couldn’t help but tease her, ”A little louder. What did you just call me?”
