"A torch, or a few, would be good too. We can use them to light the way if we enter a dense forest or to set hives on fire. A few sets of simple bowls, cups and utensils are also necessary for eating. I don't think we'll need insect repellant considering our constitutions and I doubt they'd work on demonic beasts. ... Do we need portable toilets? We'll definitely need wipes. A water filter would be good too, just in case." She continued without any fluctuations to her voice.

"Ah... I don't really want to go to the bathroom in the wilderness but it'd also be uncomfortable carrying that around, wouldn't it?" Lun Chang said with a nonchalant expression on her face. Whereas, Ming Yunyue's face was flushing red at the idea. Nian Yingge, like his fiancée also turned his face away with red reaching up to his ears.

"As long as it's- ugh!" Lun Aoman was going to say something with a joyful face but was punched in the stomach by his sister, causing him to stop and double over. 

"Well, that's our only two option. I personally think a portable toilet is better, a reminder of civilization. And it's kind of inconvenient if we rely on nature, right? I mean, if we're in a forest then there are bushes but what if it's a rocky area? And it's dangerous to stray too far from the group just to do that." Shen Tianyu acted like she didn't see Lun Aoman at all. She had gotten used to this despite them being on friendly terms, as expected of the founder of one of the world's largest information network, her adaptability is quite high.

"Hm... What you said is indeed true, then let's get one." Lun Chang decided since the other two didn't seem keen to comment on this matter. "Should we get two?"

"Since we're buying, then there's no need to be cheap. It's not like we're dirt poor. Let's just buy two. One for the guys and one for us. In case more than one person needs to go, it'll be handy too." Shen Tianyu started looking at the selection of portable toilets with a serious face. 

When the group was done selecting what equipment they needed, there was so much that they couldn't hold it all between them and bring it down stairs. So, they called the greeter over and asked him to get a cashier so they could pay for them all right there and put them into their Cosmo pouches. 

"We should delegate who should be carrying what of our supplies since the camping equipment should be together to make sure nothing gets lost and to avoid confusion." While they were waiting for the greeter to come back, Shen Tianyu suggested so.

"That's indeed true. We don't want everything to be messed up when it's time to settle down." Ming Yunyue commented. Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Is that okay? Will you have space to fit your armor and weapons?" Ming Yunyue worried.

"Yes. I should be fine. I don't have that much extra stuff anyways since I'm... living here." 

"Then, alright. If you will, please. We'll rely on you for the camping equipment." Ming Yunyue smiled as the greeter came back with someone else in tow.

"Ah! Wangfei!" The cashier greeted Shen Tianyu as soon as they were in view.

"You should be greeting in order." Shen Tianyu lightly scolded the cashier. She then indicated to Ming Yunyue with her hands, who was smiling warmly as if there was nothing wrong.

"This is Ming Gongzhu from Mingya and next to her is her fuma, Nian Yingge." She then pointed to the Lun siblings. "And these two are Lun Aoman and Lun Chang from the Lun merchant family based in Qianlu." 

The cashier got flustered and repeatedly bowed in apology to the others, who let him off easily. He then restarted his greetings. "Welcome Ming Gongzhu, Nian fuma, Zhu Wangfei, Young Master Lun and Young Miss Lun to our humble store." 

After calculating the total price of all the camping equipment the group had picked out, the cashier gave them a discount to apologize for his earlier discourtesy. 

'Even so, 40% off is a bit much, did second brother-in-law talk to them?' Shen Tianyu wondered as they all gladly took the discount. Neither Lun Aoman nor Lun Chang commented probably because they already knew. 

The five of them pooled their money together to pay, since it's something that they'll all be using so it was unfair having just one person pay for it all considering how much stuff there was. After receiving their yuan, the cashier gave them a receipt of all the things they bought and Shen Tianyu shoved the pile of things on the floor into her Cosmo pouch. 

Leaving the store behind, they walked down the street in search of a dried food store or restaurant. The reason they were willing to opt for dried food wasn't because cooked food would go cold.

Cosmo equipment, whether it be rings or bracelets, sleeves or pouches, were pieces of stalled time-space. Thins within it would stay the same as when it entered no matter how much time had passed outside of it. So they didn't need to worry about the food being spoiled. It's just that restaurant food was not cost effective for their activity. At most, restaurant food only served one person per dish and the price of each dish could buy them a day's food for two or three in terms of dried food. Variety and taste was limited in dried food but it won over cooked food in terms of cost effectiveness. As for getting a servant cook to make them food... you still need to pay for the fresh ingredients and the packaging if you don't want your Cosmo equipment to become a cesspool of food jumbled together.
