Phew, it's so comfortable here. No annoying relatives chattering away, and no curious stares from Sun Yu.

However, this space is truly mysterious. Last time, those stone tablets engraved with strange symbols and the thick, milk-like fog made me really curious.

Where should we begin our exploration?

I rubbed my hands together and decided to start with the movable stone slabs.

They almost sent me to my death last time, so I'll have to be careful this time.

Like a minesweeper, I cautiously tested each step with my toes, afraid of stepping on some trap.

Hey, you know what, this thing is actually a bit like Huarong Road, you have to use your brain!

Just as I was having a great time, I suddenly heard a soft "click".

not good!

My heart skipped a beat, and before I could react, a violent tremor came from beneath my feet!

I stumbled and almost fell flat on my face.

After regaining my balance, I noticed that the surrounding stone slabs had begun to move rapidly, changing positions and forming a complex pattern!

My goodness, this is way too much!

This isn't Huarong Road, it's practically a death maze!

I moved my feet carefully, trying to avoid the moving stone slabs.

However, the stone slabs were moving faster and faster, and I felt like a pawn trapped on a chessboard, which could be "eaten" at any time!

"Huff...huff..." I was panting heavily, feeling like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

No, we have to find a way!

I tried to calm myself down and carefully observed the movement of the stone slabs.

Wait a minute, it seems... there's a pattern?

I squinted, held my breath, and took a big step forward to the left!

"It's done!" I was overjoyed as I stepped onto a stable stone slab.

Just then, I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me. When I turned around, I saw that there was a huge crater where I had just been standing!

I gasped, a chill running down my spine.

so close!

If I hadn't reacted quickly, I probably would be... dead by now!

I wiped away non-existent cold sweat from my forehead. This space is really thrilling; it's all about the adrenaline rush!

Fortunately, I am blessed with good fortune and a long life. I survived a great calamity and will surely be blessed with good fortune in the future!

After calming down, I realized that the movement pattern of the stone slabs was actually very simple, just like... well, just like the chess moves of the old man at the gate of our school: feinting and bluffing!

Once you figure out the pattern, the rest is much simpler.

I followed the steps carefully, nimbly weaving between the moving stone slabs like I was dancing, and soon found the exit.

Phew, finally out!

I breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like I had just finished a marathon.

This space is truly fraught with danger!

However, as exciting as it was, the gains were also considerable.

I discovered that at the exit of the maze, there was a small open space with dark, fertile soil!

This...could it be...?

As soon as I arrived at school in the morning, that kid Sun Yu followed me around like a shadow.

"Miao Qing, where did you go today? You seem... different?" He stroked his chin, his eyes filled with curiosity.

I rolled my eyes at him. "What's it to you? Study hard and make progress every day!"

Tch, you little punk, I know exactly what you're thinking.

You're just curious how I suddenly became a top student, aren't you?

Hmph, trying to trick me into telling me something?

There are no doors!

I deliberately acted mysterious and winked at him, "It's a secret!"

That night, in the darkness near the corner of the school's teaching building, I silently chanted to enter the space. This was something I discovered last night; I could now enter the space anytime, anywhere. The box in the warehouse had also mysteriously disappeared.

I walked to the open space, squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, and smelled it.

A fresh, earthy scent wafts over, making one feel relaxed and refreshed.

I couldn't help but grin; this soil... is really nice!

A bold idea suddenly popped into my head... Why don't we give it a try?

Just as I was getting ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work, I suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye... something... wriggling in the dirt...

"What the hell is this?!"

I was so scared that I sat down on the ground with a thud, my heart pounding.

That thing... looks... uh... how should I put it?

It looks a bit like an earthworm, but it's much thicker and... its color is... fluorescent green!

I'm a darling!

Could this thing have mutated?

I swallowed hard and carefully poked it with a small twig.

The thing twisted even more violently and made a "squeaking" sound, like...like it was protesting?

My heart skipped a beat. Could it be... poisonous?

Just as I was hesitating whether to run away, the thing suddenly stopped moving.

I mustered my courage and poked it again.

Still no response.

That's when I realized...it actually...rolled its eyes?

I burst out laughing.

This thing is... kind of... funny.

I used a twig to pick it up and examined it carefully.

Its body is soft and slippery to the touch, a bit like... jelly?

Suddenly, a thought struck me: Could this thing be some kind of treasure?

Isn't that how it's always written in novels?

The protagonist falls into a cave, encounters a strange creature, and discovers that it is actually a rare and precious treasure. After eating it, his power increases dramatically, and he embarks on a journey to the pinnacle of life...

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and my heart started racing. Maybe… I should try it? No, no, that takes a lot of courage. I'd better go do my homework first!

"Miao Qing! What are you doing? Sneaking around like that!" Sun Yu's voice suddenly came from behind.

As soon as I stepped out of the space, I was so startled that my hand trembled and I almost dropped the homework I was holding.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death! You walk so quietly!" I patted my chest, pretending to be nonchalant.

Sun Yu stared at me suspiciously: "What are you doing so mysteriously?"

My eyes lit up, and an idea came to me: "Hehe, it's a secret! How could I tell you a girl's little secret?" I made a face on purpose, then pulled a piece of candy out of my pocket. "Here, have some candy!"

Sun Yu, being a typical foodie, was immediately distracted.

He snatched the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth: "Mmm! So sweet! What brand is it? I'll buy some later."

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this kid was easy to fool.

"Oh dear, I don't remember, I just bought it randomly. I'm off now, bye-bye!" I waved and ran off, leaving Sun Yu still savoring the sweetness of the candy.

After finishing my homework and returning home, I couldn't wait to sneak into my online space.

I've examined that plot of land carefully; the soil is loose and fertile—it's practically a treasure trove for planting!

But... what should we plant?

I was in a dilemma.

I do have some vegetable seeds at home, but... what if the soil in this space isn't suitable for growing vegetables?

Wouldn't that be a waste of such good resources?

I stroked my chin and paced back and forth in the space.

What's so special about this space besides that scary "jelly"?

I need to study this carefully…

"Huh? What's this?" I walked to the edge of the space and found something glowing in an inconspicuous corner...
