Chapter 3: The Emergence of Space

Yu Mu picked up a stone and smashed the walnuts.

The sound was very loud, two bangs, but the walnut didn't open, and it woke the baby up.

"Wow wow wow."

The little baby woke up and cried loudly.

Yu Mu thought it was bad. She wanted to comfort the baby and crack a walnut to eat. In a panic, the stone hit her finger, breaking off a piece of skin and causing blood to flow. Regardless of the pain, she stood up helplessly and tried to comfort the baby.

At this moment, she did not notice that the gray stone stained with blood flashed with light, instantly wrapped around her whole body, and disappeared with her.

Everything happened so fast.

When Mu came to her senses, she had already appeared in an unfamiliar place.

The land here is dry, and the visibility around is only a few dozen meters. The farther away is blocked by a layer of gray fog, and the situation cannot be seen, but Yu Mu understands that this is a place she cannot go.

This is……

space!

Almost instantly, Yu Mu knew where this place was. It turned out that this was the space carried by the gray stone. Because of the blood, she activated the stone and became the master of the space. The space can be upgraded and various plants can be planted. To upgrade the space, you need to plant plants to accumulate vitality in the space. If the vitality is sufficient, you can even plant higher plants!

This is a treasure.

Yu Mu was pleasantly surprised.

It just happened to solve her urgent problem at the moment. Wasn't she starving to death right now? She had no way to make money, and she had a child to take care of. It was pitiful to think about it. But with the help of this space, she almost didn't have to worry about it in the future!

Yu Mu happily left the space, thinking about what to start planting.

The little baby looks like she is crying loudly, but as long as she has milk to drink, she is very well behaved.

He poured the remaining nutrient milk into the bottle for the baby to drink. She immediately hugged the bottle and gulped it down, just like yesterday. The drink was rapid and sweet. Yu Mu's mouth curled up when he saw this. He tapped the baby's nose and said, "Do you know that your mother is gone? Now you only have me."

She thought the baby couldn't understand.

But just as he finished speaking, the baby dropped the bottle and started crying loudly.

He refused to drink the remaining half bottle of milk. He opened his mouth full of milk, revealing his two small front teeth, and cried at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, hey, why are you crying?"

Yu Mu was so panicked that he hurriedly picked up the bottle and stuffed it into the baby's mouth, saying, "I don't have a mother either. Now I'm alone like you. I didn't cry, so why are you crying?!"

She handed the bottle to the baby.

But the baby's chubby white hands just refused to take it. He kept waving his hands in the air and continued crying miserably. In the end, he was crying so hard that he was out of breath and started to hiccup.

What should I do?

Yu Mu's consolation efforts for a long time were ineffective, perhaps because he was infected, or perhaps because he was at a loss.

“Wuwuwu…”

In her anxiety, she was overcome with sadness and started crying along with the baby.

I just feel extremely miserable. Not only has the beautiful 18-year-old girl turned into an old woman, but she also has to take care of a baby. God knows she is not even an adult and has never been in love, but she is forced to become a mother. How miserable she is!

"Wow wow wow."

The crying sound turned from sobbing to wailing. Yu Mu cried with all her heart, but suddenly she felt a gentle hand wiping her tears. The hand was soft and boneless, and the touch made her feel much less sad. She opened her eyes and saw the baby holding up his chubby white hand and wiping her tears carefully.

Seeing Yu Mu looking at her, she gave Yu Mu a big smile, and at the same time a bubble of snot spurted out of her nose.

"You...are so ugly."

Yu Mu couldn't cry anymore.

She hugged the baby, wiped her tears, and handed the bottle back to the baby. The baby held the bottle and started drinking again.

Yu Mu glared at her and said, "Are you a spirit? I can actually make you cry just by talking to you. Do you think you can understand what I'm saying?"

Naturally, Milkman couldn't give her an answer.

Yu Mu stared at the baby for a long time, wondering if this baby was reborn?

She looks like a baby, but she's an adult on the inside? Otherwise, how could she understand what she said and start crying when she realized her mom was gone?

She looked like this for a long time but couldn't figure out anything. Then she saw the baby had lost his bottle and fell asleep on her shoulder, just like yesterday.

Eat, sleep, sleep, eat.

He doesn't look like an adult!

After putting the baby to bed, Yu Mu began to work on the space. She only had a few walnuts at the moment, but these walnuts could be used as seeds to grow a large tree full of fruit. Then she would have plenty of walnuts to eat! She could also grow rice, wheat, vegetables, tomatoes, and other foods in the future, and she wouldn't have to drink nutrient solution anymore!

It makes me happy just thinking about it!

With joy, Yu Mu brought walnuts to the space, and saw that the yellow soil in the space was dry and cracked, the soil was poor, and it was made of hard yellow blocks.

It's obvious that you can't grow plants in this situation.

Water it first.

The original owner had just used up the last of her water yesterday. Water was a scarce resource in this world, and each person could only buy one bucket of water per day. But that cost money, and now she was penniless, making even a bucket impossible. This put Yu Mu in a difficult position. Furthermore, she had no idea when the plants in this dimension would mature. If, like in reality, walnuts took several years to bloom and bear fruit, she would die before that day arrived.

What should I do?

Thinking of this, Yu Mu's fiery heart cooled down and he sighed.

We can't just sit there and wait for death.

You still have to do something to make some quick money.

This requires giving her some water and plant seeds in the early stages, and then she will be able to grow an oasis in the later stages.

Just what to do to make money?

Thinking back, Yu Mu remembered the task that the original owner's husband had done. This task was posted in the town's task hall. Anyone can accept it. As long as you complete the specific task, you can get the corresponding reward.

And last night, the woman next door said she was going on a mission!

I can go and have a look, but what about the baby?

Yu Mu looked at the sweetly sleeping child, and saw her soft little body and chubby little face. It was obvious that she was very well protected. But she couldn't be left at home unattended, as the probability of something happening to her was very high!

Otherwise, just carry it on your back when the time comes!

After figuring everything out, Yu Mu left the house while the baby was sleeping and headed towards the mission hall not far from the town.

This was her first time going out. The various garbage and mossy roads outside the door made her walk carefully. The occasional insects and frogs that popped out also scared her. What scared her even more was encountering snakes.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way.

After leaving the building, the road outside the door was much cleaner. Yu Mu was afraid that the baby would wake up and cry without anyone around, so she walked much faster. However, she forgot that the original owner had been malnourished for a long time. When she walked so fast, she began to pant, sweat all over, and was so weak that she could hardly walk.

No way?

Yu Mu stopped to rest, feeling that he was willing but not strong enough.

She was originally a healthy and beautiful girl, and had never been so weak. Now that she had tasted the bitter fruit, she could only cheer herself up in her heart.

After taking a few steps and resting, I finally arrived at the mission hall.

There was a lot of noise here.

It was so lively. Some people were rushing into the hall carrying the materials for their missions, while others were coming out of the hall, happily rushing home with a lot of things they had collected. The place looked so prosperous that Yu Mu felt very excited.

She can!

She loves completing tasks and collecting things in the wild!
