Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

"Lucky Draw! System, what prizes are available?"

"It could be a single hair, or it could be an entire world; anything is possible. Given the host's prolonged inactivity, the lucky draw will automatically end in ten seconds. Ten...nine...eight..."

"System, you're the boss, I give up! Draw a prize! Draw a prize right now!"

Then a huge roulette wheel appeared in front of Su Chen. It was divided into four sections: white for "Thank you for your patronage", purple for the beginner grand prize, red for the intermediate grand prize, and gold for the ultimate grand prize. However, to Su Chen's dismay, the white "Thank you for your patronage" section occupied three-quarters of the entire roulette wheel.

Watching the pointer spin rapidly, Su Chen silently chanted in his heart, "The ultimate prize, the ultimate prize..."

The pointer is moving slower and slower.

"Good! Great!"

"No way, forget it! A mid-level prize isn't bad either."

"Stop, stop right now! Can't be this unlucky? On New Year's Day, all I get is a 'thank you for your patronage' message."

The pointer crossed the super prize area and then slowly crossed the intermediate prize area, but it still showed no sign of stopping. As the pointer slowed down, Su Chen's heart was in his throat. He clasped his hands together and worshipped every god he could think of.

Perhaps all the gods were celebrating the New Year and didn't notice Su Chen's plea at all. The pointer continued to move slowly, eventually stopping after passing the purple area.

Oh no! My hard-earned year-end bonus is gone just like that. Can you believe it...?

The moment the pointer stopped, Su Chen felt as if he had been ravaged by dozens of beautiful women, his entire body completely drained. He stared blankly at the roulette wheel, not knowing what to say.

"Buzz!"

Just when he thought that was the end of it, the entire roulette wheel began to tremble violently, bursting forth with dazzling, colorful light.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have won the ultimate prize. Rewards are being distributed. You have obtained a World Fragment... which has been integrated into your consciousness."

"What's going on? The grand prize?"

The sudden notification sound startled Su Chen, who quickly moved closer to the large turntable to examine it carefully.

It turns out that there is an extremely fine colored area between the purple and white, but this area is so small that it is almost invisible unless you look closely.

"System, what are world fragments? Does that mean the world can shatter?"

"It's just as you think. It's a piece of a broken world. If you have a fragment of the world, you can have the world space. The larger the fragment, the larger the space."

"I love you so much, tell me, what's the use of this thing?"

"Host level is too low, please investigate on your own."

After saying that, the system once again transformed into a cold and aloof goddess, ignoring Su Chen's rambling.

I'll do the research myself. I refuse to believe that something this difficult can stump me with my superior intelligence.

As the giant roulette wheel disappeared before his eyes, Su Chen took a deep breath and, based on past experience, calmed his mind. His consciousness wavered for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.

Before me lay a desolate piece of land. Not far behind me stood a wall made of piled stones, with a simple thatched hut nestled beneath it. In the distance, a gate four or five meters wide opened in the wall, and a simple fence blocked the entrance.

Could this be a courtyard? And what is in this thick fog?

As far as the eye could see, I roughly estimated it to be about three or four hundred meters long. It was shrouded in thick white fog in the distance, and the wall behind me stretched into the fog, with no end in sight.

Reaching the edge of the dense fog, Su Chen reached out and touched it, only to find himself encountering an invisible barrier, which made him abandon his plan to explore the depths of the fog.

Opening the gate, one finds a wide, flat road paved with bluestone slabs. On the other side of the road, a clear river flows gently, its waters rippling.

"This is a moat? No way, how could there be such a wide moat? What's on the other side of the bridge?"

The entire river is constructed of massive granite blocks, topped with white marble railings, much like the moat outside the imperial city. Standing on the riverbank, one can only see about fifty meters ahead; the opposite bank is completely hidden in the thick fog. A simple, ancient-style stone bridge stands directly opposite the gate that was just opened.

After looking at the stone bridge, Su Chen ultimately decided not to step onto it. Even if he did, it would be useless; the other end was shrouded in thick fog, and he couldn't possibly pass through that barrier. It seemed he could only explore it later.

Turning back to the courtyard, Su Chen looked around but found nothing. Finally, he stepped into the front of the thatched hut.

Is anyone home? Is anyone inside?

Although he knew no one lived there, Su Chen still called out twice at the door. When there was no response, he pushed the door open and went inside.

There were two thatched huts. Outside, there was a table with a shiny black stone on it and two chairs beside it. Inside, there was nothing but a simple wooden bed.

World fragments? Could it be that these are all remnants left behind when that world shattered?

Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Su Chen focused his gaze on the black stone.

Judging from the luster on the surface of the stone, it was definitely not obsidian, nor jade. It seemed to be a kind of stone that I had never seen before. I reached out and picked the stone up from the table, wanting to examine it more closely.

"The No. 15 Spirit Plant Garden Control Stone allows its owner to activate or deactivate the Spirit Plant Garden's defensive array. The Spirit Plant Garden contains 500 mu of superior-grade spirit fields, 500 mu of medium-grade spirit fields, and 500 mu of inferior-grade spirit fields, suitable for planting spirit herbs and medicines or ordinary crops, with maturation times of ten, fifty, and one hundred times respectively..."

"This! The Spirit Plant Garden, and the defensive array, what kind of world is this shattered world?"

When this message appeared in Su Chen's mind, he could hardly believe his eyes. He immediately went outside to test what kind of magical effects this seemingly barren land had. Even the lowest-grade spirit field grew ten times faster than the outside world. He was really going to get rich!

Just a few days ago I was envious of those time travelers who had spatial abilities, but now this benefit has finally fallen on my own head.

"(Damn, what are you going to plant if you don't have seeds? Are you going to use a link to plant it? Never mind, I'll think about it later.)"

He had received many rewards these past few days, but he had never seen a seed. This made Su Chenbai very happy. He wandered around the space for a while before exiting.

Su Chen continued to experiment with the uses of the space until dawn, when he finally mastered its function.

……

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Chen had just finished lunch and was sitting in the sun chatting with Hu Xingming when Yang Dazhuang rushed over in a hurry.

"Hey Yang, you're a village chief, how come you're still so reckless? Are you being chased by wild dogs?"

Seeing Yang Dazhuang hurrying into the courtyard, Hu Xingming said something joking.

"Oh, Mr. Hu, please don't make fun of me. I really have something to do. My eldest daughter is going back to her parents' home today, and I have something I'd like to trouble Comrade Xiao Su with. Comrade Xiao Su, could you come to my house?"

Yang Dazhuang explained to Hu Xingming with a wry smile, then looked at Su Chen.

“Village Chief Yang, I’m just a kid. If you, a village chief, can’t solve this problem, what’s the use of coming to me? We’re not outsiders, so just talk to me here. If I can help, I definitely will.”

Seeing Yang Dazhuang's anxiety, Su Chen didn't refuse, but he also didn't make any promises. Who knew what Yang Dazhuang wanted him to do?

"Oh! Here's what happened. My eldest daughter and her husband came back together today. They were fine at first, but after a few drinks, her husband saw the steamed buns on the table during dinner and started crying."

"At first, when I asked him why, he wouldn't say. Later, I asked my eldest daughter, and she finally told me the reason. My son-in-law works at the county materials bureau and recently became the head of the purchasing department, but who knew..."
