Chapter 7's space also includes a copy function.
In the stillness of the night, a first exploration of space
After a day of commotion, the Gu family finally quieted down.
Wu Guixiang personally brewed brown sugar water for her granddaughter, watched her drink it, and gave her many instructions before Gu Baobao persuaded her to go back to her room on the grounds that she "wanted to rest quietly".
Finally, I was all alone.
Gu Baobao blew out the kerosene lamp, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and listened to the occasional barking of dogs and chirping of insects outside the window. Only after confirming that everyone in the family was sound asleep did she silently recite in her heart:
Go inside.
The next moment, she felt a blur before her eyes and a strange sense of weightlessness. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a completely different place.
A familiar scent wafted over me.
She stood in front of an exquisite three-story villa, with soft lawn beneath her feet and a small spiritual spring pool beside her. The water was crystal clear and exuded a faint, refreshing spiritual energy.
Behind the villa was a plot of land, about half an acre in size, shrouded in a gray mist, which appeared suitable for planting.
This is the spiritual spring space that she obtained by chance in her previous life and gradually cultivated.
The area wasn't large, and its functions weren't particularly extraordinary. The daily output of the spiritual spring was limited, and she had to personally manage the land for planting. But for her, this was already an unexpected delight!
She strode into the villa, where everything was exactly the same as when she left.
Modern decor, comfortable sofas, bookshelves filled with professional books...
Her gaze first fell on the full-length mirror in the corner.
The image reflected in the mirror was that of the original customer's baby:
She had a round face, dark yellow and rough skin, dry and yellow hair, and a bloated figure, all wrapped in large, old clothes.
Only his eyes, because of the replacement of his soul, had lost some of their original dullness and appeared calm and bright, which seemed out of place with this body.
"It really is... a long and arduous journey."
Gu Baobao muttered to herself, but she wasn't discouraged at all; instead, her fighting spirit was ignited.
With the magical spring and medical skills at his disposal, the transformation of this physical body is only a matter of time.
Her gaze immediately fell on the large double-door refrigerator in the open kitchen.
This is the key to verifying her biggest conjecture.
She walked over and nervously opened the refrigerator door.
There weren't many items in the upper refrigerator compartment:
Several bottles of sparkling water, several cartons of yogurt, some fruit, and several vacuum-packed packets of medicinal herbs.
The lower freezer compartment contained several bags of frozen dumplings and some meat.
She tentatively took out a bottle of sparkling water.
The cool, refreshing feel is so real.
She unscrewed the bottle cap, and with a soft "hiss," the long-lost sweet and bubbly sensation filled her mouth, almost bringing her to tears.
Then, she stared intently at the spot in the refrigerator where the bottle of sparkling water had originally been.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Just when she thought nothing would happen, a bottle of sparkling water that was exactly the same, with even the condensation droplets, reappeared in the empty space!
Gu Baobao held her breath and tried yogurt and apple.
Same result!
It seems that anything she takes from the original items in the villa will be automatically copied and replaced after a certain period of time!
But when she tried to put a rough porcelain bowl from the outside world into the refrigerator and then take it out, no copying occurred.
[Defu! Is this a new function of the space?]
She asked urgently.
[Ding! Answer to host: This function is a mutation caused by traversing the turbulent flow of time and space after the soul has deeply merged with the original space.]
Currently, we can only slowly replicate natural creations that were already present in the space when you traveled through time, and which are not part of this plane.
The speed of engraving is related to the complexity of the item and the energy it contains.
Spiritual springs and land produce are not included. This function may evolve as merit points increase or the space itself grows.
Gu Baobao understood immediately, and a surge of joy welled up inside her.
This means she possesses a sustainable, timeless, and scarce resource!
Although it must be used with caution, it is undoubtedly the foundation for survival.
She calmed herself down, walked to the spring, and scooped up some water with her hands to drink.
The cool, sweet spring water entered my stomach, and a slight warm current instantly flowed to my limbs and bones. A comfortable tingling sensation came from the wound on my head, and my spirits were lifted.
Although the effects of the Spirit Spring have been weakened, it is still miraculous.
She went to the study and found her usual set of silver needles, some basic medicinal herbs, and medical books.
Touching the familiar tools and words, her chaotic heart finally calmed down.
She had the knowledge, the tools, and the resources.
In the days that followed, Gu Baobao claimed to need to rest and recuperate, but in reality, she began a meticulous body modification plan behind closed doors.
She drinks a strictly measured amount of diluted spiritual spring water every day, along with mild medicinal herbs found in the space that are suitable for her current constitution. These herbs are ground into an extremely fine powder and cleverly mixed into the porridge or soup prepared by her family.
When it's late at night and everyone is quiet, I do gradual stretching and exercise in the space.
The changes happen quietly, yet they are very real.
The puffy, bloated feeling of obesity is the first to fade, and the contours become firmer.
The dullness and sallowness in the skin's deeper layers are gradually dispelled by the spiritual spring water and internal conditioning, replaced by a healthy rosy glow emanating from within.
My hair gradually regained its shine.
About ten days later, while Wu Guixiang was wiping her granddaughter's face, she suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and held Gu Baobao's face up to the window light to examine it closely.
"My baby's skin... seems a bit smoother now? Her complexion is so rosy and fair, it's really pleasing to the eye!"
Although she's still far from being fair-skinned and beautiful, the healthy, vibrant changes have already been noticed by her closest loved ones.
