Chapter 2 Space
Cheng Sinian ultimately failed to stop Qiao Yu. After painstakingly completing the discharge procedures for her, he sent her home. Before leaving, he repeatedly urged her to rest well, otherwise the next time they met, it might be in his ward.
Qiao Yu agreed with a smile, but as soon as he got home, he cut his palm.
It’s not that Qiao Yu wanted to hurt herself intentionally, but if her guess was correct, the jade pendant her mother left her must be activated with her blood.
Qiao Yu had discovered the jade pendant while sorting through her mother's belongings. She had always worn it on her wrist. It wasn't large, about the size of a thumb, but its shape was rather peculiar. A dark green, square-shaped jade ring surrounded a slightly smaller, round, emerald green jade bead. In the center of the bead was a small, square, hollowed-out hole, interwoven with emerald green veins, resembling vines entwined.
In a previous life, Qiao Yu had heard that someone had somehow obtained a treasure that could hold dozens of square meters of items. Furthermore, the contents could be accessed at any time, anywhere, much like the Qiankun bag in fairy tales. Such treasures were known as portable space.
At the time, she had thought it was just a rumor spread by someone intent on stirring up trouble, but she hadn't expected that, near the end of her life, she would actually witness a dimension independent of reality. Unfortunately, she no longer had the chance to explore it.
Qiao Yu held the jade pendant tightly in her bleeding palm, without a trace of pain on her face, as if the palm that was cut was not her own.
Since the heaven has blessed her with a second life, she must study whether this jade pendant is the kind of treasure she had heard of in her previous life. If it can really store things and be used at any time, then this will be the greatest help in her survival in the apocalypse.
Qiao Yu clutched the jade pendant for a short while before she felt a piercing pain in her palm. She opened her hand and discovered the wound had completely healed, leaving no scar, not even a trace of blood. Only a small red mole remained, just above the base of her palm. Of the jade pendant, only the outermost ring of jade remained; the central jade bead was missing.
Qiao Yu was in shock when she suddenly saw a flash of white light before her eyes. When she came to her senses, her consciousness seemed to have left her body and she was in a bright space. Looking around, all she saw was a transparent emerald green.
There was nothing around, but in the middle, there was a giant emerald green tree.
The tree was translucent, its trunk so thick it would take more than a dozen adults to wrap their arms around it. Countless emerald green vines grew on the trunk, each bearing large green leaves and giant, teardrop-shaped fruits.
These vines are intertwined and extend outwards, and they are symmetrically spread across the space, just like a jade floor laid in the air, dividing the space into two layers.
With the jade tree as the central axis and the vines as the dividing line, the entire large space is evenly divided into four local spaces, which looks like a grid from the front.
However, although they are divided, each floor is interconnected, and the areas of these four space grids are very large, each grid has an area of about 2,000 square meters and a height of about two floors.
Qiao Yu couldn't see where she was, but for some reason, she could see the whole picture of the place and subconsciously knew how big it was, as if it was engraved in her mind.
Qiao Yu looked at the giant tree carefully. Neither the vines nor the branches were rough and cracked like ordinary trees. They looked as smooth and warm as jade.
Qiao Yu frowned slightly. The space I'd heard about in my previous life seemed like an object? It was said that someone had tried to snatch it, but how did this jade bead seem to have become one with her?
Qiao Yu felt a little uneasy again. To verify whether this was really the portable space he had heard of in his previous life, Qiao Yu placed his hand on the tea table and silently said "collect". Sure enough, the next second, the tea table disappeared from its original location and reappeared in the space with the jade tree, standing quietly in a corner of the space.
It really was a portable space! Qiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes gleaming with surprise. Trying to calm her excitement, she slowly reached out her hand to the empty space where the tea table had been, trying to see if she could put it back there. Just as this thought arose, she saw the tea table suddenly return to the living room sofa.
Joy filled her chest, and Qiao Yu's hands trembled with excitement. In her previous life, the space she had heard of was only a few dozen square meters, enough to make people envious and fight for it. Now, her space was over 8,000 square meters! She was right; this jade pendant was indeed a great help to her!
Qiao Yu took advantage of his excitement to put away all the useful things in the house. Qiao Yu thought, since the space was derived from the jade beads, and there was a green jade tree in the space, why not just call it the Jade Tree Space.
However... since the jade bead has become one with her... Qiao Yu looked at the other part of the jade pendant - what could this ring-shaped jade be?
Qiao Yu picked up the jade ring again and examined it carefully for a while. He noticed that the color of the jade ring had become lighter. It was dark green before, but now it was emerald green, as if it had become the same color as the jade bead.
But why did it change color? What did it mean? Qiao Yu, questioning this, tentatively held the jade ring in his hand, closed his eyes, and tried to feel it.
At this moment, in a place that Qiao Yu could not see, the red mole and jade ring on the palm of his hand suddenly became brighter, and Qiao Yu finally saw another space.
This space was still emerald green, but without the Jade Tree, it was simply a storage space. It looked as if one of the four smaller spaces within the Jade Tree had been taken out, its area roughly a quarter of the size. While not as large as the Jade Tree, at over 2,000 square meters, it was still hundreds of times larger than the space Qiao Yu had previously heard of.
Qiao Yu was overjoyed and quickly re-threaded the jade ring with the red string and put it back on her wrist. This way, Ah Zhan would also have a storage space.
Qiao Yu sat silently for a while. She was not sure whether the end of the world would come in this life like in her previous life, so she had no plans to tell Jiang Zhan about this situation right now. She could prepare quietly on her own.
If there is no apocalypse in this life, it will naturally not affect Jiang Zhan's normal life; but if the apocalypse still comes, at least she still has her reserves.
After sorting out his thoughts, Qiao Yu turned on his computer first. Although food is the most important thing in the apocalypse, you can buy food slowly, but you have to order a car in advance.
