After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 5, Episode 0005: Space and System

She wasn't exaggerating for the original owner. The original owner was a very insightful person, but she felt guilty because her poor health was a burden on the Leng family. Therefore, she would lose control of her emotions whenever she encountered anything related to the Leng family, and her actions would be constrained by her concerns.

Just like with Wang Yue, the original owner could tell from just one meeting that this person had ulterior motives and was very jealous. However, because of Wang Yue's grandfather, she was afraid of affecting the Leng family. Even though the original owner didn't like her, she still endured it and entertained Wang Yue time and time again.

Uncle Wei was taken aback when the innocent girl in his heart said such things. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes reddened.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a lowly bodyguard. He's been the old commander's bodyguard for over twenty years. How could he be in such a position without some skill in judging people and situations?!
They can glean three-tenths of the meaning from just a few words; this is their basic skill. Xiao Xi didn't need to explain in detail; he already understood Xiao Xi's previous concerns.

He wasn't a member of the Leng family. Although the Leng family treated him well, he was still an outsider. Therefore, when he heard Lin Yuexi's words, he felt a sense of resonance with her.

Lin Yuexi: "..."

What's going on?
Was it really true that her stoic, tough-guy uncle was actually so emotionally rich?
Fortunately, Ren Yan came in and rescued the somewhat helpless Lin Yuexi, saying, "Come out for dinner, Uncle Wei. Don't forget to tell Grandpa Leng that Yuexi was bullied."

Uncle Wei's face fell again. He stood up and moved aside, taking the chair he had just been sitting in. "Don't worry, I won't forget."

After a moment of silence, she added, "Don't forget to prepare things for your trip to the countryside, especially for Xiaoxi. Choose carefully what you need."

Normally, these kinds of things are prepared by the elders, but Zhang Hongying went to the Northwest with Leng Zhi a few days ago, only leaving money and tickets for Lin Yuexi in a hurry.

As for the old leader, he no longer wants to see Lin Yuexi.

Lin Yuexi does have an aunt and a third aunt who can help her, but her aunt has long been dissatisfied with the old chief's favoritism towards Lin Yuexi and has been faking illness recently, while her third aunt is in Anshi.

Therefore, Lin Yuexi and Ren Yan are now responsible for preparing supplies for the rural areas.

Ren Yan glared at Uncle Wei with annoyance, "Do you need to remind me? The clothes and quilts have already been made. I originally wanted to reduce the amount of things I had, but this morning Brother Leng sent a telegram saying that they have already prepared a house in the village. When Xi Xi goes there, she won't have to squeeze into the educated youth settlement with the other educated youth. There will be more space and she can put more things there. I plan to go and take a look tomorrow."

Ren Yan led Lin Yuexi to sit down at the dining table and placed the millet porridge she had specially cooked for her in front of her.

Seeing Xiaoxi's listless expression, with the tiny veins visible on her pale face, she was exquisitely beautiful yet heartbreaking.

The little girl clearly had no appetite, and Uncle Wei was so distressed that he almost said he would eat for her.

Fortunately, he held back the words just before they were about to come out, preventing Xiao Ren from having another reason to yell at him.

Ren Yan never indulged her friends when it came to food, giving them the chance to be willful and not eat. She forcefully shoved the spoon into Lin Yuexi's hand, saying, "If you don't finish this bowl of porridge tonight, you'll have to take three bowls of Chinese medicine every day starting tomorrow."

Her threat not only had the original owner under her control but also Lin Yuexi. Like the original owner, she was most afraid of Chinese medicine with strange tastes, especially those containing Coptis chinensis.

Slowly swallowing the millet porridge, Lin Yuexi suppressed the urge to vomit from time to time. For a moment, she felt a little strange about herself.

The fact that people from the apocalypse actually dislike food is quite shocking for a transmigrator who came from the apocalypse.

After finishing his meal, Uncle Wei returned to report to the old man. Ren Yan was also an early riser, and by nine o'clock, the entire Leng family courtyard had fallen into silence. Lin Yuexi did not 'wake up' immediately, but instead used her spiritual power to monitor the movements in the opposite room. After confirming that Ren Yan had returned to her own room across the street, she still did not let her guard down, carefully probing with her consciousness to see if Ren Yan's spatial dimension was still there.

Phew, thank goodness we're still alive.

She awakened her spatial ability when the apocalypse arrived, but her spatial ability was different from others. While others' initial spatial ability was a cubic meter to five cubic meter square space, her spatial ability was as big as a basketball court as soon as it was awakened.

Others can easily upgrade their spatial abilities by absorbing crystal cores, reaching level five or six with ease. However, her spatial ability cannot be upgraded using crystal cores; it's like cultivation in fantasy novels, requiring mental power to improve.

In other words, if she lacks mental strength or has weak mental strength, the size of this special space she can activate is limited to what it can be at the time of activation and will remain the same throughout her life.

Fortunately, shortly after she awakened her spatial ability, she also awakened her mental ability, and the two abilities complemented and enhanced each other.

Although her space upgrades slower than others, those people only reach a maximum size of 200 cubic meters when they reach level 5, while she already has a size of over 400 acres and a height of over 10 meters when she reaches level 2.

The reason she has always chosen to be a lone wolf is also directly related to the special nature of her spatial abilities; everyone understands the principle of "possessing a treasure is a crime" in the apocalypse.

Moreover, the thrill of buying something for free when you're alone is indescribable.

Whatever you see, as long as you can take it, it's yours.

Scanning her surroundings with her consciousness, she realized that although it had taken her more than ten years to reach level four, the space was already tens of thousands of acres in size. Confirming that everything was still there and had not been lost due to the transmigration, Lin Yuexi finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer worried about life in the countryside.

She has a whole space full of supplies. If she can survive for more than ten years in a post-apocalyptic environment, what is there to be afraid of when she goes to the countryside as an educated youth?!

After her consciousness left the space, she tried to poke the system, which seemed to have crashed. When the apocalypse came, in addition to being lucky enough to awaken her superpowers, she was also particularly lucky to be bound to a stupid system called "Sign-in and Eat Melon".

After the system bound itself to her, it tearfully told her that it had not only bound the wrong person, but had also ended up in the wrong world.

Although the system is idiotic and has a bad temper, it's good that Lin Yuexi has it. She has been a loner for more than ten years and has not developed depression. At least she has a companion and can gossip from time to time.

After poking a few times, a familiar, grumpy baby voice echoed in Lin Yuexi's mind: "[I advise you to be kind. I'm telling you, even a leader has authority. Be careful, or I'll self-destruct. Okay, stop disturbing my sleep.]"

'Does your system need to sleep?'

This is the first time I've heard of this. You must be kidding me.

[Do you think just anyone can travel through time like that? It was me, I almost exhausted all my energy to send you here. Now I'm just a completely useless system, it'll take me at least several decades to recover my energy and continue watching the drama unfold. As for signing in, forget about it.]

You've been bullying me for over a decade, I'll scare you to death.
