After a while, the dizziness disappeared, and the scenery of the grove had completely changed. A wooden house of about ten square meters appeared in front of him, and in front of the wooden house was a yard surrounded by a bamboo fence.
A patch of black soil about ten square meters, a small pond about ten square meters, and a patch of lush green grass about ten square meters.
Lu Yuan named this space "Dimensional Space".
Like in other novels, the activation of the hexahedral crystal space is done using blood. Once activated, it can be opened at any time, just like a USB flash drive that you can carry with you. You can store and retrieve things into it anytime, anywhere. It is very simple to operate. After activation, you only need to silently think of the crystal's dimensional space. However, the downside is that once you enter the space, you will disappear. You must find a secluded place to avoid being exposed.
The small wooden house, fields, and pond in front of him were just like in his dream. Lu Yuan had only been alive for a few months in the apocalypse before his game ended, so he knew some basic operations. As for more advanced things, Lu Yuan could only leave them for later study. Right now, he needed to stockpile as much food as possible to prepare for the apocalypse.
Looking at the nineteen missed calls and seven or eight unread messages displayed on his phone screen, Lu Yuan knew without even looking that he had been fired.
After working hard for more than a year, I haven't saved much money. This time, I might be fired for being absent from work without reason, but I still have to receive my wages. I need money to stockpile food. I can't count on my parents. I've worked hard all my life, and it's basically all gone because of my four years of college.
It's time to take on the responsibilities of the family!
Lu Yuan rode his electric bike to the company and saw a new female colleague already sitting at his desk. He recognized her; she was his colleague Chen Xiao's girlfriend, and he had seen her at a dinner party before.
Chen Xiao saw Lu Yuan from afar and hurried over, feigning heartache and sympathy as he pulled Lu Yuan aside and whispered, "Lu Yuan, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that the matter our Manager Chen entrusted to me is too important. I've said all the right things to you, but it's no use. Be careful later!" He patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder as he left, without mentioning a word about why his new girlfriend was sitting on his desk.
However, Lu Yuan didn't care, because he would meet these two people again three years after the apocalypse. No, they should be considered one and a half people. When he saw "them", Chen Xiao was squatting in a small room, hugging his girlfriend's leg and nibbling on it, the kind of nibbling that involves eating meat. Later, it was said that he was taken away by the police and locked up in a labor camp. His final fate was definitely to starve to death, because at that time, being in a labor camp was no different from being dead.
As soon as he entered the manager's office, Manager Chen launched into a tirade, slamming documents and smashing the table as he berated Lu Yuan for a long time.
Finally, exhausted from cursing, he sat back down, took a sip of water, and pulled a termination agreement from his drawer, pushing it in front of Lu Yuan.
"I've already processed your resignation. Just go to HR, collect your money, and leave! Employees like you who don't follow company rules..." After another long speech, Lu Yuan ignored him and took the termination contract directly to the HR office.
Having successfully received his 2,500 yuan salary, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was short of money and was determined to get his salary back, even if it meant quitting his job without another one lined up.
Back in his rented room, Lu Yuan entered the dimensional space again. Looking at this strange yet familiar little pastoral scene, he felt a surge of excitement. This space could hold anything except people, except for Lu Yuan, who could come and go as he pleased.
The black soil is a single piece of land where various plants can be grown, ponds can be used to raise fish and shrimp, and lawns are used to raise various animals. The growth rate there is about ten times that of the outside world. As for feeding creatures there, Lu Yuan doesn't know if it can achieve the same effect, because when he obtained this dimensional space in his dream, he could no longer see any living things other than humans.
The log cabins were used for storage, serving to preserve food and keep things fresh.
The temperature and humidity inside the space are very stable, and although there is no sun, there is always gentle light.
Another particularly important thing is that there is a small green seedling in the field. The seedling is only about two centimeters tall. The biggest difference between this seedling and other plants is that its growth rate is somewhat slow, which seems to be the same as the growth rate of plants in the real world outside the dimensional space.
In his dream, Lu Yuan waited a whole month for the seedling to bloom and bear fruit. The fruit was golden, and eating it could increase various physical abilities, such as strength, speed, eyesight, hearing, and touch.
Unfortunately, this seedling only produced one fruit at a time, and Lu Yuan didn't even get to see the second fruit ripe before it was taken away. However, he was certain that this seedling wouldn't take so long from flowering to fruiting.
Next to Kuroda was a small pond filled with clear water. Some aquatic plants grew in the water, but there were no fish. In his dreams, he had relied on this water to get through water shortages many times.
It is now November 2025, and the apocalypse in my dream will begin in early March 2026, around the Lantern Festival. There are still four months to go. The first wave of disaster will be a year-long period of daylight. We must prepare food supplies before the apocalypse arrives, and our homes must be far away from the coast. Glaciers are melting under the influence of high temperatures, causing sea levels to rise and gradually submerging 90% of coastal cities.
The most interesting thing about the dimensional space is that it can be upgraded. The upgrade method is to find something according to the light emitted by the hexahedral crystal. The six faces are divided into three on top, three on the bottom, and six faces in total, with the middle being wider. The bright side is the direction of the crystal you need to find. The closer you are, the brighter the crystal becomes, and the higher the frequency of the light. However, Lu Yuan has upgraded in his dream. The stones he knows of are divided into two types: black crystal and white crystal. They are the same as the crystal in his hand, but slightly smaller in size.
Black stones are used to cultivate new fields and ponds, as well as expand houses, and they are more likely to appear, while Lu Yuan only found white stones once in his dream.
White crystals are used to upgrade levels. For example, Lu Yuan currently has ten square meters of black soil. As long as he buries white crystals in the soil, the black soil will turn into red soil, the content of aquatic plants and some microorganisms in the pond will increase, various small insects will appear in the grassland, and the growth cycle of all organisms in the space will become faster. As for what levels of soil are above the red soil, Lu Yuan doesn't know.
