Besides fruits, grains, and meat, there were also two baskets of carrots and four baskets of cabbage.

This procurement volume is several times larger than Zong Shen's last purchase.

And that's not even all, as Marie stored some items in the storage grid.

When the two Burden-Bearer Mechas came to a halt, the Wolf Cavalry began unloading, and Marie also started unloading from the storage grid.

First came four large barrels of Rum, a total of two hundred pairs of woolen boots and wool leggings, as well as a dozen or so Small Warm Stoves and copper water pots.

These small stoves can burn wood or Pine Tar Block, and they can be used for heating and boiling water, doubling as cold-resistant equipment.

This type of stove is rare in Sitanos Village due to the climate rarely demanding them. Marie used connections with Master Mars to gather them from the village.

The wool products were also typically bought by traveling merchants and sold to the northern Icefield Zone, but now all were bulk-purchased by Marie.

These goods took up a lot of storage grid space, especially the stoves, which are all second-hand with various degrees of wear, and even differing shapes and sizes, preventing them from being stacked and occupying numerous storage slots.

Marie placed all the goods on the open ground, and Zong Shen appeared rather satisfied with the sight.

This procurement mostly met Zong Shen's expectations from before, and despite Marie's young age, her progress speed is very quick.

At this moment, Marie approached Zong Shen and bowed slightly.

"My Lord, all the supplies have been procured as you instructed."

"I've acquired all the sheepskin reserves from Sitanos Village."

"Additionally, there's a large amount of grain, and the eight large barrels of hard bread, each containing 150 pieces. They can be soaked in water or soup and have a long shelf life."

"By the way, my Lord, I've also found you a nice coat."

Marie suddenly smiled sweetly and took out an exquisite fur coat from the storage grid.

The brown fur was slick and heavy, giving it an upscale look.

It was clearly prepared by Marie with Zong Shen in mind.

Zong Shen looked at the coat with a smile and reached out to take it.

[Exquisite Bear Skin Coat (Excellent)]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Body Protection: 35]

[Passive Skill: Cold Resistance (In cold environments, body temperature loss rate reduces by 40%, Freeze Resistance increases by 20%, Stiffness Resistance increases by 20%)]

(Wearing it can protect you from severe cold and provide decent defense.)

This item turned out to be an excellent level piece of equipment, perfect for wearing in Frosty Winter.

Coupled with the heavy Benedict's Charging Cloak (Purple) that Zong Shen previously obtained from Boswell, cold resistance won't be an issue.

"Thank you, Marie, I really like this coat."

Zong Shen draped the coat over his shoulders and spun around in front of Marie.

"I didn't expect that Sitanos Village also had such high-quality fur coats."

He remarked to Marie somewhat emotionally.

Yet she smiled coyly, twisting her hands together, and said a bit embarrassingly,

"The village doesn't have such fine furs."

"I took this from my father's wardrobe..."

"He barely wore it, and considering it's pretty useless in the village, I just brought it over."

Zong Shen listened to Marie and was momentarily stunned.

Goodness, is this what they call 'pitting the father'?

Nevertheless, Marie was ultimately thinking of him, and at the end of the day, it's her family's possession anyway.

"Hehe, anyway, thank you for your thoughtfulness."

Zong Shen directly put the coat into the storage grid.

"Oh right, my Lord, the total expenditure for this procurement was 7,167 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars."

"Here's the detailed purchase list."

Marie handed Zong Shen a handwritten list.

Everything was clearly listed, including details of the purchased items, quantities, unit prices, and total prices.

All items were clearly marked, making it easy to comprehend.

Zong Shen scanned through it quickly and, finding no major errors, began assigning personnel to sort and process the goods by category.

All those large barrels of hard bread were sealed in wooden barrels. They were stored similarly to those pancakes and beef jerky Zong Shen obtained from the Calamity Raven Church's secret supply, so they could be preserved at room temperature, all unified in an empty house.

The meat jerky, eggs, and vegetables that were not packaged were placed in a temporary ice cellar.

The small warm stoves were also piled up in the Lord's Courtyard.

The semi-finished sheepskin, woolen products, and large coats were handed over to Wolf Rider Squad Two and Three, along with the coats purchased from the Market. They were taken to the creek for cleaning, then delivered to Alanna to sew into sheepskin coats.

Everything was in perfect order.

Once all the goods were processed, it was already past seven in the evening.

This batch of cold-resistant materials was enough for the entire territory to comfortably endure the possible arrival of the Frosty Winter.

There should even be a large surplus of cold-resistant materials.

At that time, they could support some to the legion members and then sell a portion at a high price, which would be enough to recoup the costs.

After arranging everything, everyone went to rest, agreeing to meet at the courtyard gate at 3 a.m. to respond to changes in the final challenge.
