Natural Disaster Strikes: I Stockpiled Billions and Carved My Way Through the Apocalypse

When Mu Jiuyue met the other people from the orphanage, they gathered together, ate a meal in silence, and then parted ways again.

The adult world is actually very busy.

Nobody really cares how other people are doing.

As Mu Jiuyue was about to leave, the class monitor called out to her, "Jiuyue!"

Mu Jiuyue turned to look at her: "Class monitor?"

"When the dean passed away, she entrusted something to me for safekeeping." The class monitor handed a brocade box to Mu Jiuyue, saying, "If you don't cry yourself to death on the third anniversary of her passing, I'll give this to you as a keepsake."

The toothpick that Mu Jiuyue was holding in her mouth fell to the ground with a thud.

For a moment, I lost control of my tears.

"The person the dean worries about the most is you. You're too stubborn," the class monitor said.

Mu Jiuyue gave a slight smile, accepted the brocade box, and said nothing more: "Thanks, class monitor."

"By the way, squad leader, the weather's been weird lately, so take good care of yourself. If you don't have time, stock up on some food and drinks, they won't spoil anyway. Also, find a safe and stable place to live, not some chaotic area." Mu Jiuyue rarely showed a bit of conscience: "You're just too worried. You're so young, yet you have the air of a middle-aged woman."

The class monitor rolled his eyes at her: "Get lost!"

Mu Jiuyue laughed and turned to leave.

"Mu Jiuyue!" the class monitor called out from behind her, "Live well and put the dean's mind at ease!"

Mu Jiuyue didn't stop walking; she simply waved to the class monitor with her back turned, looking carefree and unrestrained.

Mu Jiuyue walked along, tears streaming down her face.

She thought she had lived a past life and that nothing and no one would ever touch her heartstrings again.

It turns out that she always reserved the softest corner of her heart for the dean.

Upon opening the brocade box, a piece of emerald green jadeite lay quietly inside, clearly an old artifact.

Mu Jiuyue knew about this jade pendant. She had seen it countless times when she was a child, and the image of the dean stroking the jade pendant and shedding tears late at night.

Later, the class monitor told her that the jade pendant originally belonged to the dean's son.

The dean's son died in a car accident when he was five years old.

The director divorced her husband and used all her wealth to open this private welfare home, saving a group of abandoned children, including Mu Jiuyue and the class monitor.

The dean poured all her maternal love into these children, and entrusted her longing for her son to them—no, to Mu Jiuyue.

Because Mu Jiuyue's temperament and personality are most like that of the child who died young.

"Honestly, you dislike my crying, yet you deliberately made me cry." Mu Jiuyue put away the brocade box and tossed it into her spatial storage: "Don't worry, I will listen to you and live well."

Just as Mu Jiuyue was about to lift her leg, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Mu Jiuyue subconsciously steadied herself against someone beside her. Through her blurred vision, she could only vaguely make out that the other person was a tall, handsome man.

"Damn it." Mu Jiuyue mumbled the word before collapsing to the ground.

The proud man was instantly swayed.

I've seen plenty of people throwing themselves at me, but this is the first time I've seen someone throwing themselves at me while cursing me.

When she woke up, she was already in the hospital.

"You're awake," a strange man said from the side. "Have something to eat."

"You are..." Mu Jiuyue covered her head, looking at the other person uncertainly, her eyes filled with undisguised vigilance.

Having returned from the apocalypse, she distrusts no strangers.

"What kind of look is that? I saved you." The man was displeased when he saw Mu Jiuyue's eyes: "You're not going to repay kindness with enmity and deliberately try to frame me, are you?"

Mu Jiuyue immediately changed her tune: "So it was you who saved me! Thank you so much! Don't worry, I won't repay kindness with enmity, and I won't let you feel hurt after doing a good deed! How much did it cost? I'll transfer it to you."

"At least you have a conscience." The man then handed a bowl to Mu Jiuyue: "This little bit of money is nothing to me. Eat."

Mu Jiuyue looked down.

The man had a pair of captivating eyes, and was both charming and handsome.

He was dressed impeccably; he was clearly a wealthy person.

Especially the pinky ring he was wearing; although she couldn't recognize the brand, it was clearly a high-end item she couldn't afford.

After eating, Mu Jiuyue said, "You've already done more than enough to save me, how can I let you spend money? I said I'd pay you back, and I really will. You don't need to worry about me making excuses to ask for your WeChat or contact information; I'll just give you cash back."

After saying that, he took out a thick wad of cash from the large bag next to him.

The man was stunned by Mu Jiuyue's behavior!

Is this some new trick to attract men's attention?

Why did she do it so smoothly and naturally?

Don't even say it.

Such a refreshing and unpretentious behavior really caught his attention.

The man coughed awkwardly twice and casually pulled out two banknotes: "This is enough."

Mu Jiuyue didn't waste any more words with him and stuffed the remaining cash back into her bag.

"I'm a little tired," Mu Jiuyue said, trying to urge him on. She was now eager to know what had become of her space.

What could make her faint must be no small matter.

The man was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that Mu Jiuyue truly didn't want to cling to him and genuinely didn't want to attract his attention, he realized that he had just been deluding himself.

"Then you should rest first." The man fled the ward in a disheveled state.

Mu Jiuyue pretended to be asleep, and immediately probed her spatial dimension with her mind.

Once inside, I was completely dumbfounded.

What was originally just a square space has now been transformed into a small world with land, wooden houses, and well water.

The collected supplies were all neatly piled up in the large open space behind the cabin.

"My god! What kind of cultivation world is this!" Mu Jiuyue couldn't help but bite her finger hard. Ouch, ouch, ouch, it really hurt. It seems this is real, not a dream.

Why did the space become like this?

Mu Jiuyue thought back for a moment and realized that the change had occurred because she had thrown the jade pendant given to her by the dean into her spatial storage. She then turned around and went to find the jade pendant.

The brocade box was opened, and it was empty.

Mu Jiuyue was speechless.

The dean gave himself two souvenirs.

One is a gold bracelet given as a coming-of-age gift for turning eighteen, and the other is a jade pendant.

As a result, the gold was used to prove that the space could be upgraded, and the jade plaque allowed the space to be upgraded again.

Now there's nothing left but an empty box.

Mu Jiuyue scratched her hair.

I felt relieved very quickly.

This is probably the significance of the jade pendant that the dean left for himself.

Souvenirs are not as valuable as memories.

Dean, I will live up to your expectations.

The next day, the man came to the hospital again to visit Mu Jiuyue.

However, they were told that Mu Jiuyue had been discharged from the hospital yesterday.

"What?!" The man was stunned!

Women always chased after him; not a single woman ever avoided him!

Okay, he'll remember her!

Mu Jiuyue, right?

We will meet again!

At this moment, Mu Jiuyue had no idea that the man whose name she didn't know had already remembered her. She needed to conduct an experiment to determine the reason for the space's upgrade.

Is jadeite sufficient? Or does it need to be jadeite with spiritual energy? Or does it need to be an antique with spiritual energy?
