In the Frozen Apocalypse, I Can Collect Resource Points

Extreme cold descended. All things withered, food grew scarce, and scavengers struggled to search for supplies in the deep snow.

Inside an abandoned supermarket.

Lu Qing, who had transmigrated into the apocalypse and had no idea what to do, stared at the empty shelves in front of her. A few words appeared above them:

[Small Resource Site] Pick up?

--Pick up.

Boxes of compressed biscuits and all kinds of snacks instantly went into her storage space. Even in the fresh meat section, long since cleared out, Lu Qing could pick up fresh leaf fat, pork belly, beef short ribs...

To everyone else, the surface was a barren wasteland.

To Lu Qing, the snowfield was full of unopened mystery boxes!

In the packed shelter, people huddled together, chewing on mushrooms and potatoes.

Out on the snowfield, Lu Qing raised a hand and brought out a heavy-duty shipping container. She lit a copper stove and laid out a hot pot feast of tripe, shrimp paste, and sliced lamb.

Passersby drawn by the aroma eyed the food greedily, but the moment they saw the several ice beasts squatting inside, they quickly settled down and asked cautiously, "C-could we have a bite? It smells so good..."

Lu Qing picked up a piece of blanched tripe without looking up. "Sure. What have you got to trade?"

She had more supplies than she could ever use, so she took them to the shelter to trade. Fuel, crystals, weapons and equipment, logistical supplies: she had it all.

Lu Qing was satisfied, and the shelter's survivors were even happier. Carrying bags of rice, flour, oil, and grain, they eagerly asked, "When are you coming back next time?"

I'm the NPC merchant?

Ivan saw a black-haired woman making her way through the blizzard.

He lit the fireplace, hoping to invite her in out of the snow and offer her a bowl of hot soup. It wasn't because his supplies were especially abundant. He was simply tired of waiting endlessly for winter to end.

The woman didn't seem afraid or worried about anything. She had a rare, sunny optimism for someone from the northern lands.

She glanced at the cabbage soup in the pot, smiled, and brought out a pot of braised pork. "Hey, let's add a few more dishes."
