Chapter 25 tells the village chief that this is the immortality I obtained after receiving divine guidance...
This bracelet is different from the thin bracelet with a capacity of one thousand cubic meters that he bought last time. It is a slightly wider, flat version with fifteen hollowed-out inlay positions, each of which can be inlaid with a space bead.
Like space rings and earrings, space beads come in different sizes. Fifteen beads are set on a bracelet, which avoids the problem of buying a lot of space equipment being too cumbersome. Different materials can also be stored separately in each bead.
If there isn't enough space, you can easily replace it with a larger space bead, making it very flexible and convenient.
After casually putting on the bracelet, Lu Xuan then bought nine 100-cubic-meter space beads and fastened them into the bracelet one by one.
Lu Xuan touched the other empty slots, then glanced at his remaining balance of just over three thousand points. He was about to close the shop when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked today's limited-time discount items yet.
He didn't have much hope this time because he hadn't found anything good in the past few days.
I only perked up when I saw that there was a very useful item among the daily necessities that was refreshed today.
--toilet paper!
This is amazing!
Lu Xuan was in high spirits.
There were so many inconveniences in ancient times: drafty dwellings, no internet or electricity, almost no entertainment, rugged roads, and poor medical conditions...
Lu Xuan could tolerate all of these things, but the one thing he couldn't stand was the lack of toilet paper when going to the toilet.
While toilet paper wasn't unavailable, it contained the word "paper," making it affordable even for ordinary people, even if only used for urination.
Most people used toilet sticks, which are basically wooden or bamboo sticks.
As for how difficult it is to use toilet sticks and how unfriendly they are to men... no, to all humans, anyone who has used them knows.
On his first day here, after discovering the problem, Lu Xuan immediately threw away the toilet paper in the Lu family's outhouse and went to the mountains to find some soft, non-toxic leaves.
While it's still not exactly comfortable, it's at least much better than toilet sticks.
Because rounding solved the problem, he completely forgot that he could use the remaining silver to stockpile a batch of toilet paper when he went to the prefectural city.
Of course, he now has a better option.
Modern toilet paper is already quite good; the toilet paper used by technologically advanced interstellar civilizations will only be even better.
With soft and breathable toilet paper available, who would still want to use coarse paper?
Lu Xuan glanced at the price. The original price of a 50-roll pack of toilet paper was 100 points, but today's discounted price was only 70 points, which was very cheap.
Without saying a word, he clicked to buy the maximum amount that could be purchased.
The maximum purchase quantity for toilet paper is ten packs; even if you buy all ten packs, it will only cost you 700 points.
After the points were deducted, the item quickly appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
A pack of fifty rolls of toilet paper is quite large; eight packs together almost fill the floor of a small room.
Lu Xuan carefully collected nine of the rolls, then opened one of the remaining rolls, tore off a portion to test its texture, and found it to be indeed softer than modern toilet paper.
Although his points were down to a fraction again, Lu Xuan was even happier than when he first obtained the spatial ring.
This is the kind of life a human being should live.

"Ah Xuan's here, come in quickly." Li Tie, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) smoking a pipe, greeted Lu Xuan, "Come sit down, what do you need me for?"
Lu Xuan sat down opposite him and said something surprising: "I came to tell you that an unprecedented disaster will soon strike this land we live on. The Lu family has received a lot of help from the village in the past. If possible, I hope the village can make preparations as soon as possible."
"Cough cough cough—" Li Tie choked on his smoke, his face full of disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about, kid? What disaster? Where did you hear that? You can't just say things like that."
He couldn't help but worry about Lu Xuan's mental state, wondering if he had recovered from his mental illness but developed some other problem.
Otherwise, why would they suddenly say a major disaster is going to happen...?
Lu Xuan said calmly, "I'm not talking nonsense. Including today, there will be a massive earthquake in ten days that will cause the entire earth to collapse and crack. After that, there will be a drought that lasts for months and high temperatures that can kill people alive. The ground will crack and nothing will grow. After the drought, there will be continuous torrential rains..."
Temperatures can drop as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius, enough to freeze thousands of miles; the sun never shines, an endless night like the end of the world; tornadoes can sweep away entire cities; terrifying tsunamis can overturn the entire Central Plains...
As Lu Xuan spoke more and more, Li Tie's expression gradually changed from indifference to astonishment, horror, and blankness... until finally his face turned ashen.
He slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "Lu Xuan, are you sure you know what you're saying?!"
Lu Xuan said, "Do you think I went to the mountains for several days in a row and then to the city for several days before returning? It was to stockpile enough supplies so that my family could have enough to eat and drink during the disaster."
Li Tie was stunned for a moment, not expecting this to be the case.
The villagers have been talking a lot about the Lu family lately. Even Lu Xuan himself has been whispering with his wife about how he suddenly became so extravagant and wasteful after his mind cleared up.
If Lu Xuan was preparing in advance because he knew that many natural disasters were going to happen, then all of this seems to make sense.
But……
Li Tie said with a stern face, "Words are no proof. What you're saying is too unbelievable. How can I believe you? Besides, how do you know all this?"
Lu Xuan raised his arm and opened his palm in front of him.
Li Tie: "?"
Lu Xuan channeled his supernatural power into the seed in his palm. Almost simultaneously, the seed sprouted from the seed and grew rapidly under Li Tie's astonished gaze. In the blink of an eye, it had grown into a plump and healthy cabbage.
Li Tie gasped, utterly horrified, "What, what is this?! How could seeds, this vegetable—!"
Not only was Li Tie shocked, but the viewers in the live broadcast room who had been watching silently were also excited.
That's amazing—their on-the-spot encouragement to have a baby is incredible!
And it even accelerates growth to maturity in one go!
You should know that it's already quite good for a low-level wood-type ability user to make a seed germinate in one go, and it would take at least several days for it to grow to maturity. Yet the streamer completed the process from seed to mature crop in an instant!
At this moment, the audience was absolutely certain that the streamer's superpower was definitely no less than level five!
Li Tie stammered, "How did you do that?"
Lu Xuan placed the cabbage on the table and let Li Tie examine it to confirm its authenticity. He then made another startling statement: "This is a divine technique I obtained after receiving guidance from a deity. The reason I can foresee the natural disasters ahead is also because the deity told me this."
Li Tie: "???"
Live stream viewers: ? ? ? What is this?
Good heavens, I'm really speechless!
[What the hell? This is divine guidance! I thought the streamer was going to figure out how to convince the village chief, but instead, he just started playing tricks?]
[Hahaha—this divine enlightenment is hilarious! So, the divine being is actually the big boss of the research institute? Does the big boss know that he's actually a divine being?]
[No, no, no! The streamer is using wood-based superpowers to fake magic, which means superpowered individuals are the real gods! I'm a superpowered person too, so from today onwards, I'm practically a god too, hahaha!]
[What?! Changing races on a whim?!]
Li Tie stared blankly at Lu Xuan, opened his mouth as if to say "Don't joke around," but looked down at the plump, fresh cabbage on the table and fell silent.
He had just secretly picked a small piece and tasted it, and it's no exaggeration to say that he had never eaten such delicious cabbage in his life.
Its crisp and tender texture, along with a hint of sweetness, is truly exceptional, seemingly a completely different species from what the villagers used to eat.
Not to mention that this cabbage grew directly from the seed on the spot; it's hard to explain it any other than that it's a divine creation.
Lu Xuan said, "Now do you believe me?"
Li Tie: "..."
Although divine guidance or magical arts sound unbelievable, seeing is believing, and he had no choice but to believe it.
But once he believed it, and then carefully recalled the disasters that Lu Xuan had just mentioned, disasters he didn't even dare to think about how he would survive... cold sweat belatedly covered his forehead and his entire back.
He rubbed his face hard, trying to calm down, but to no avail. Instead, his heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.
Lu Xuan: "Time is of the essence. Uncle Tie, you'd better inform the villagers as soon as possible to prepare for the disaster."
He didn't try to persuade me further; he said what he needed to say and then left cleanly and decisively.
Li Tie subconsciously thought of seeing him off, but when he looked up, he saw his wife, Miao Jinfeng, standing at the door with a pale face. She had obviously heard Lu Xuan's words as well.
Li Tie reached out to pick up the pipe that had fallen to the ground, but his hands trembled and he couldn't manage to lift it after several attempts.
He sighed inwardly and didn't say anything to Miao Jinfeng. Instead, after Lu Xuan left, he stayed in the house alone for half a day until his two sons returned from working in the fields near dusk. Only then did he ask his sons to inform the villagers.
"Each family should send one person to the threshing ground for a meeting immediately!"
·
A threshing ground.
"It's not a holiday, and suddenly they're saying they're going to hold a big meeting. I wonder what the village chief is going to say." The villagers huddled together in twos and threes, whispering among themselves.
The Zhang family and Lu Xuan stood together, equally puzzled, "Do you know what the village chief wants to say?"
Lu Qing and Lei Yan exchanged a glance and mumbled, "We'll find out soon enough."
"The village chief is here."
"Li Jing, Li Tuo, over here!"
Someone who was on good terms with the village chief's two sons quickly pulled them over and secretly asked them if they had any inside information, but unfortunately, the two brothers were just as clueless.
The two brothers guessed that their mother probably knew, but she wouldn't tell them when they asked. Judging from her unpleasant expression, they figured it was probably not a good thing.
So the two brothers frowned and remained silent.
The other villagers who were observing noticed this and their hearts sank. Could something really have happened?
Li Tie said loudly with a stern face, "Alright, everyone be quiet and listen to me."
The noisy discussions gradually quieted down, and the villagers, who had been holding their breath, silently pricked up their ears, curiously waiting for the village chief to speak.
Li Tie said in a deep voice: "I have gathered everyone here today for one thing. I have received reliable information that a huge disaster will break out here, no, in the entire Central Plains, and this disaster will continue for several years!"
Li Tie neither exaggerated nor deliberately concealed anything to avoid panic. He told Lu Xuan everything he had mentioned about the scorching heat, the torrential rain, the freezing cold, the long nights, the tsunami, and so on.
A note from the author:
----------------------
Pure romance pre-order: "A Max-Level Boss's Raft Survival"
Text: Abnormal climate, ocean pollution, global warming
When humanity ravaged the blue planet beyond recognition, the game of survival at sea suddenly arrived.
People panicked and became hysterical because of the sudden change, but Yu Tang, who possessed mermaid genes and had off-the-charts combat power, suddenly brightened up when she looked at the pure and vast sea.
Isn't this my ideal home?
Soon, many players discovered that one player's art style was completely different from theirs!
·
When someone else holds a fishing rod and tries for ages without catching a single fish...
Yu Tang, who has a built-in aura that intimidates marine life, has achieved seafood freedom, with salmon, tuna, lobster, and abalone all at her disposal!
·
While others were still barely managing to get one or two treasure chests by scavenging trash...
Yu Tang swung his claws and killed countless big fish, opened treasure chests until his hands were sore, and had so many rare resources that he couldn't even count them all!
·
Landing on the island to kill the BOSS, surviving natural disasters, exploring the ocean depths—tests that would require serious preparation for others are so easy in Yu Tang's eyes!
Yu Tang: Trying to return to the real world? No, no, no, I can play this game forever!
Survival System: QAQ! Get out of here—!
·
·
Just when Yu Tang thought he could do whatever he wanted in the game—he went into heat!
Yu Tang: ? ? ?
I'd accept a fish tail, but mating season? Don't be ridiculous!
But then I thought, I was single before the survival game came along, and now that it's the apocalypse, what's wrong with me having some fun?! (Full of self-righteousness)
On a whim, Yu Tang sent someone an invitation to join the rafting activity: Shall we do it?
The man's eyes were deep and dark, with a burning intensity that seemed to want to devour him whole. Without hesitation, he replied: Do it!
·
Players all thought that the two top players in this server were like kings who would never meet, and that whenever they met, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
Little did they know, the two had already been secretly having an affair behind everyone's back.
