Seeing all this, what else was there to say?
Rice, collect!
Flour, collect!!
Vegetables, collect!
Alcohol, collect!!
Fresh meat, collect!
Frozen meat in the large freezers, collect!!
All kinds of frozen seafood and fish, collect!!
Seasonings and ingredients, collect!!
At this moment, Ji Tianhao completely transformed into a pack rat. As long as he felt something was needed or could be used, he didn't hesitate to take it. However, considering there were still many guests in the hotel, and the capacity of his Singularity Space was limited. The inventory in this warehouse was also quite astonishing—enough to feed a thousand people three meals a day for a month, no problem. Of course, the stored meat was definitely not enough.
When starving, what was the big deal about eating plain rice?
When the older generation faced famine, they could even eat dirt and strip tree bark, let alone rice and flour. When hungry, having rice meant life.
He couldn't disregard the lives of the hundreds or thousands of people in the hotel. Leaving some supplies and grain—this way, he wouldn't drive things to the extreme and would leave some room. If he truly drove others to desperation, what it brought him would often also be desperation.
After collecting a portion, Ji Tianhao took out a backpack and filled it to the brim in the warehouse with various grains and supplies. Although he had the Singularity Space and had collected quite a lot of materials, he couldn't show this to the outside world. He needed to go with the flow more. In an unknown environment, caution and attention to detail were the foremost elements of staying alive.
With this backpack on the outside, who could suspect that he had taken away a large batch of supplies in his hands?
He played this hand of open feint and secret maneuver quite well. When he couldn't act without restraint, he put away his pointless pride and desire to show off. This was one of the reasons he had thrived on the dark web for so many years.
If you didn't take anything, appeared to have nothing on the outside, yet didn't panic, and later still had a ruddy complexion with no worries about food and drink, even ghosts would know something was wrong with you.
Human hearts—once a little doubt existed, it could be magnified infinitely. He didn't plan to test people's hearts.
Faced with an unknown environment, what he wanted more was to figure out the outside environment and plan for the future direction.
Rather than the current state of being completely in the dark.
In a state of ignorant bewilderment.
"Yo, you're really fast. To think you found the warehouse so quickly. Are you collecting supplies to prepare for what's coming? As expected of the Divine Hand of the dark web, your reactions are quick."
At this time, Qianmian Hu also walked in at the warehouse entrance, holding a backpack she had obtained from who-knows-where. She had already changed into a more capable outfit—tight jeans on the lower body, a white fitted T-shirt on top, showing off her fiery figure without reservation.
Seeing Ji Tianhao scavenging and collecting supplies in the warehouse with one glance, she also secretly sighed in admiration at his alertness.
"You should have looked at the Guixu wristwatch on your wrist. We have most likely fallen into a mysterious place called Guixu. Perhaps we are no longer on Blue Star. The outside situation is unclear. Collecting survival supplies—that's the foremost priority. Before others have reacted, you should quickly gather a batch of supplies too. I suspect things won't be so peaceful next. The fog outside is completely abnormal."
Ji Tianhao didn't bandy words with her.
Once the people behind reacted, this warehouse would be a place of focused attention. It was also the root of much chaos.
"Be careful. This time, the people who came to the hotel aren't just me. Your movements were exposed on the dark web long ago. I count as arriving late; who knows how many arrived early. Right now, this hotel is hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Even after falling into a sinkhole, those interested in the Kunlun Jade Disk are still not few."
Qianmian Hu said meaningfully.
"The Kunlun Jade Disk is spoken of as miraculous, but no one knows what use it has. What's most important now is figuring out the current situation. I don't want to die here in a muddle."
Ji Tianhao said with a helpless expression.
As he spoke, he walked out of the warehouse and returned to the kitchen, quickly scanning the kitchen utensils.
Immediately, his gaze landed on several knives arranged side by side.
"Eh, there's even a specialized fish-cutting knife for cutting tuna here."
He stepped forward and took a long fish-cutting knife. The entire blade was long, and the handle was long too. The blade was a meter long, the handle over forty centimeters, totaling nearly one meter fifty. The knife model was consistent with a Tang horizontal blade, distinct from normal fish-cutting knives. Held in hand, calling it a horizontal blade was no problem at all. He flicked the blade with a bent finger, and a crisp vibrating sound echoed from the blade. Extremely pleasant, without any hint of discord.
"Good blade. The forging material of this knife should be quite high-grade; there's titanium alloy in it. Is this hotel so luxurious? To specially customize such an exclusive knife specifically for cutting tuna—the price of such a knife could reach the heavens."
Ji Tianhao felt a burst of novelty. No matter who forged or customized this knife, now that it had fallen into his hands, it was his. In this kind of unknown environment, being able to find such a good blade was heavenly good fortune.
In fact, he had already stored quite a few weapons in his Singularity Space—both cold weapons and firearms. Especially bullets; there were several cases of bullets placed directly in the space. A firearm without bullets was just a metal stick—everyone knew this, so of course he had to prepare adequately beforehand. For every mission, the number of bullets stored was never less than a hundred thousand. Among the prepared weapons, there were swords, blades, and spears.
In the process of cultivating martial arts, of course one would practice weapons.
Martial arts cultivate the body; weapons kill.
Although he already had blades, seeing such a fine one still stirred fondness in his heart. Holding it in his hand, he was greatly excited. Immediately, he grabbed the scabbard made of crocodile leather beside him, inserted the blade into the scabbard with a reverse hand, carried it by the strap, and slung it over one shoulder like that. In an instant, his entire aura became completely different.
An air of solemn, chilling killing intent emanated from his person.
He walked toward the lobby.
He met face-to-face with a man wearing a black suit, with slicked-back hair heavily greased, approximately thirty years old, holding a white ivory pipe in his mouth. The craftsmanship was exquisite; the pipe and mouthpiece were of one seamless whole. Tobacco was already packed in the pipe. Paired with his appearance, it somehow gave off a feeling of being both gentlemanly and flamboyant. Like a ruffian gentleman—upon seeing him, the impression was deep.
The tobacco in the pipe emitted an aromatic fragrance. One could tell the tobacco quality was very high, possessing a special Yunnan floral scent, a honeyed fragrance, and also infused with a trace of special charm. It should be tobacco prepared with special secret techniques.
This tobacco scent could be smelled from ten meters away.
"Smoke Emissary Qi Lin, you're coming for me."
Ji Tianhao said upon seeing him.
"Before, I was coming for you. Many people are interested in the Kunlun Jade Disk on your person. It's just that now that everyone has fallen into the sinkhole, there's no need to fight you. I came down to find some supplies. Since we've run into each other, why not form an alliance? If something happens, we can work together. In an unknown place, we're all fellow countrymen."
Qi Lin said seriously, holding his pipe in one hand.
A strange environment, a strange situation—everyone instinctively gathered all the power they could gather. Huddling together for warmth—this was the most direct thing to do.
He had wanted to take a look at the Kunlun Jade Disk before, but now, who still cared about the jade disk matter?
A blatant abnormal event was laid out right before them.
The wristwatch on their wrists had already clearly told everyone that they were no longer on Blue Star. They could even guess that within this unknown Guixu, the supernatural existed, and they could see a path forward.
The wristwatch's most straightforward display of oneself—every statistic was so real and not false.
No one wanted to collapse at the door without ever having seen the gate of a new world.
That would truly be dying with regret.
"Fine, let's watch out for each other."
Ji Tianhao agreed with a smile.
Regardless of whether they would ultimately ally, on the surface, he still gave a friendly signal. How to proceed afterward would of course depend on the situation.
Qi Lin smiled, held the pipe in his mouth, carried a backpack, and walked toward the warehouse.
Which of these people who had roamed the dark web wasn't vastly experienced? When facing sudden situations, they were best at seeing the key points. Look—one after another, the first thing they did was head straight for the warehouse to collect supplies, just in case.
He didn't say anything about this.
He had gathered supplies himself, so he could hardly begrudge others doing the same.
Arriving at the lobby, one could see that the guests who had reacted had begun coming to the lobby one after another, wanting to find out the specific situation. More and more people were gathering. If not for the hotel manager, security guards, and service staff maintaining order, things would have descended into chaos long ago.
It's just that most of their attention was focused outside.
The fog outside the hotel gave everyone tremendous pressure.
Moreover, many people's eyes revealed traces of fear.
Someone was saying with utter certainty: "I didn't see wrong. Just now in the fog, I really saw a huge black shadow. That shadow vanished with a whoosh. It definitely wasn't the wind. There is definitely something in the fog."
"We were brought here by the sinkhole. We're definitely not on Blue Star anymore. In a strange place, encountering any danger is possible. Stay in the hotel; absolutely don't go out. Everyone has the Guixu wristwatch imprint on their wrist. Could we have transmigrated to some game world? Are there monsters outside? Can we kill monsters and level up?"
A boy who looked like a high school student spoke.
His eyes looked at the wristwatch in his hand with slight excitement. That data, that interface—no matter how you looked at it, it was similar to a game interface.
How could this young man not be fascinated?
Smack!!
A middle-aged man who looked similar to the boy smacked him on the head, his expression ugly as he said, "Zhu Wenkang, has your brain been eaten by games? Still killing monsters and leveling up? You only have one life. If you dare run out, I'll break your legs."
