Chapter 8: Copying Everything, Stealing Everything, and Hahahaha (Part 1)

The apartment where Old Ma lives is the largest in the building, with three bedrooms and a living room, covering about 120 square meters. Even the furniture inside was arranged by his grandmother.

The reason Bai Nuo's maternal grandmother arranged such a nice house for them was that she hoped they would take better care of her granddaughter because of the house. Also, the house was big, so her granddaughter would be more comfortable there.

The house was registered under Bai Nuo's name, which was also a deliberate precaution taken by her grandmother. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and she would never have entrusted her child to a distant relative who was not even traceable by outsiders if she had no other choice.

But Bai Nuo's maternal grandmother had already decided that when the Bai family or the Wei family came to pick up the child, she would transfer the house to the Ma family as a way of thanking them for their care.

Unfortunately, apart from his deceased maternal uncle, no one in the Ma family knew how to be grateful, nor did they have the patience to wait for someone to come and pick up Bai Nuo.

Because of its large size, this apartment is located at the very back of the floor and has a separate kitchen. The Ma family doesn't have many members; at least compared to other households, they are quite small. Living in this three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment doesn't feel crowded at all.

In this era where many children are considered a blessing, the old lady of the Ma family only raised one son and one daughter. Now, her son and daughter had already started their own families back in the countryside. The two families used to live together in this house with the old man and woman of the Ma family.

In addition, there is the eldest son Ma Jiangshui's son and daughter, as well as the two daughters of the youngest daughter Ma Xiaoyu. These children are all about the same age as Bai Nuo, with the oldest being only in his early twenties, and none of them are married yet.

Every single one of them in this family is a bad person.

Bai Nuo was cute and adorable from a young age. Back when she was in the Kyoto Research Institute, even though she wasn't very bright, many uncles, aunts, grandpas, and grandmas in the institute liked her. As she grew up, she blossomed into a graceful and beautiful young woman, whose appearance would catch anyone's eye.

In the Ma family, since her maternal uncle passed away, Ma Jiangshui wasn't the only one eyeing her. Among them were Ma Jiangshui's son and Ma Xiaoyu's husband, the useless son-in-law of the Ma family.

The Ma family was well-off. After all, Bai Nuo's maternal grandmother brought her from the countryside to Shanghai so that they could take good care of her granddaughter. Not only did she arrange two permanent jobs for Ma Jiangshui and his wife, but Ma Xiaoyu also had a temporary job at a state-run restaurant. However, that job was later tricked away by Ma Xiaoyu's husband.

With three people in the family earning salaries, and no rent to pay for the house, plus the money for utilities left by Grandpa Ma, it's no wonder this family is all so fat and bloated.

Bai Nuo first went to her small storage room, which was partitioned off from the balcony. It was cramped and narrow, with no windows open, and it smelled damp. All her important things were in her spatial storage, so there was nothing in the storage room worth searching. The clothes and radio she had brought with her had long been taken by Ma Jiangshui and Ma Xiaoyu's daughter.

Upon entering, I found the place ransacked, with blankets and pillows scattered haphazardly on the floor, and upon closer inspection, I noticed numerous footprints on them.

Bai Nuo rolled her eyes and turned to leave.

There are three rooms in total. Grandma Ma lives in one room with her granddaughter and two granddaughters, Ma Jiangshui and his wife live in another room, and the last room has been divided into two rooms: one for Ma Xiaoyu and her husband, and one for Ma Jiangshui's son.

This reveals the family's social standing.

Bai Nuo stood silently in the living room, staring at the doors to the rooms.

"Host, what do you plan to do?"

The system spoke softly. Even though the two of them couldn't be heard by outsiders, the system would subconsciously lower its volume at such times, as if whispering, just to fit the occasion.

Bai Nuo thought for a moment and made a decision: "First, collect all the valuables. I definitely don't want this house anymore, and the Ma family can forget about it either. After dealing with everyone who needs to be dealt with, we'll find someone to sell it off, and then we'll buy another house to live in. We'll sell all the furniture too. Although my grandmother paid for it, I find things that the Ma family used dirty. As for the extra stuff, well... let's just consider it compensation for the Ma family's emotional distress!"

After saying that, Bai Nuo took out a thumb-sized white pill and a small gray pill from her space. She swallowed the small pill first, then tore open the outer packaging of the large white pill, squeezed it hard, and a colorless and odorless smoke spread in all directions.

Although the post-apocalyptic world she lived in was teeming with monsters and its order was in chaos, scientific research was developing very rapidly. Perhaps the pressure created by the environment drove many scientists to the brink of madness, resulting in the development of all sorts of strange and bizarre things. She once took on a long-term project at a research institute and got along quite well with the people there, obtaining many research results. The people at that institute were all lunatics; they never researched anything serious, only bizarre things. Moreover, they were incredibly generous, always willing to offer anything good, and you couldn't refuse it.

This white pill is one of them. It can knock out any creature within ten meters of her, which is exactly the distance of this house. Even if the neighbor next door accidentally falls for it, it won't matter. At most, they'll just sleep in a little longer tomorrow. There are no side effects whatsoever, and the technology of this world can't detect it at all.

With everything prepared, Bai Nuo began her looting operation.

First, they took out a compressed wooden house from the storage room and placed it in a corner of the warehouse fence, then enlarged and restored it to its original size, specifically to store the things they had looted.

According to her teacher, she has obsessive-compulsive disorder; she has to be neat and organized, otherwise she feels uncomfortable.
