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

Mu Jiuyue first went to the mall and bought a piece of jade jewelry, not very big, just a ring.

After being thrown into the space, nothing changed.

Great, let's exclude jadeite alone.

The dean's jade pendant is not only made of jadeite, but it is also an antique.

Does that mean that only jadeite with a sense of age is acceptable?

Mu Jiuyue went to the pawnshop again, looking for old items with a sense of history.

This time I spent 100,000 yuan to buy an old-fashioned jade thumb ring.

It was thrown into the space, but it was not absorbed.

We can rule out the old item factor again.

So, what exactly caused the space to be upgraded again?

Just as Mu Jiuyue was racking her brains trying to figure it out, the maternity and baby products store next door was having a clearance sale.

It turns out that young people nowadays don't like having children, the birth rate is declining year by year, and maternity and baby stores are almost going out of business.

Seeing that the store wasn't making any money and was about to lose money on rent, the owner decided to clear out the stock and switch to another business.

Mu Jiuyue immediately bought everything in the store, spending only 50,000 yuan in total – what a steal!

After the boss left, Mu Jiuyue packed everything in the shop into her spatial storage.

Now that the space has been upgraded, it can organize itself automatically, so she doesn't have to do it herself!

Don't be too cool!

It would be great if we could figure out the reason for the space's next upgrade. I wonder what it will look like next time.

Moreover, she made a surprising discovery.

Previously, she could only stay in the space for five minutes, after which she would be ruthlessly kicked out.

Now she can stay in the space for an hour.

If she finds an item with enough upgrade potential, can she live in the space indefinitely?

So even if heavenly fire were to descend and the entire planet were destroyed, she could still live and die in the space with Old Hou.

Mu Jiuyue locked the door for her boss and was about to leave.

Suddenly, someone rushed out of the pawnshop next door, shouting, "Fire! Fire!"

Mu Jiuyue was not a kind-hearted person, and upon seeing this, she turned to leave.

Before she could turn around, she saw a man leaning against the windowsill on the second floor of the pawnshop. It was none other than the man who had saved her yesterday.

Fine, I'll save him this time, considering he saved me once before!

Mu Jiuyue rushed to the entrance of the pawnshop, grabbed a rug from the ground, soaked it in the auspicious water pool at the entrance, draped it over herself, and then rushed into the pool.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger.

My vision was a little blurry.

Mu Jiuyue firmly remembered the location of that unfortunate child, kicked open the door, and roared, "Come here, I'll take you out!"

The man paused for a moment, then said, "No need, my men are almost here."

Unexpectedly, the person who came to his rescue was a woman, and her voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Come here!" Seeing that the other person was still standing there dumbfounded, Mu Jiuyue became annoyed and stepped forward, pulled him down, draped the wet blanket over him, and dragged him outside.

Before the man could react, he was dragged downhill by this woman with tremendous strength.

It wasn't until they rushed out of the pawnshop and collapsed on the ground outside, coughing violently, that he realized that the person who had saved him was none other than the girl he had saved the day before!

"Mu...Mu Jiuyue?"

"Cough cough cough, you saved me once, I saved you once, we're even." Mu Jiuyue didn't even look at the other person, grabbed a handful of messy short hair, and turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The man stopped Mu Jiuyue: "How can we be even? My life is very valuable, you know!"

"So what do you want?" Mu Jiuyue gave him an annoyed look: "If you really feel bad, just give me the money."

Mu Jiuyue reached out her hand to the man, looking impatient.

The man was about to reach into his pocket when he suddenly stopped: "I left my wallet in the room."

"Then why are you still talking nonsense?" Mu Jiuyue turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute, here you go." The man took off his pinky ring and placed it in Mu Jiuyue's hand.

"Fine, fine, fine." Mu Jiuyue accepted the ring perfunctorily and casually tossed it into her spatial storage.

However, the next second, Mu Jiuyue stopped in her tracks.

The space has changed!

The ring has disappeared!

Mu Jiuyue turned around without hesitation, grabbed the man's arm urgently, and asked, "The ring you just gave me..."

"Don't worry, once it's given to you, it's yours. I won't ask you for it back," the man replied.

"That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking you what material this ring is made of and where it came from?" Mu Jiuyue became increasingly anxious. "Where did you buy it? Or who gave it to you?"

The man looked at her, puzzled: "It's a family heirloom, given to me by my grandfather."

Mu Jiuyue pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth: "Do you have any more?"

“Yes, at home.” The man blinked.

Mu Jiuyue took a deep breath, raised her hand to straighten the other man's collar, and looked at him with the most amiable expression she could ever muster, saying, "Then, could you give me another one?"

What do you need so many for?

“For my dad. He loves these old things!” Mu Jiuyue blurted out. “You just said yourself that your life is very valuable. Is a ring all you’re going to do to you? Isn’t that underestimating your life?”

The man chuckled. "You're quite an interesting person. Aren't I better than this ring?"

Mu Jiuyue looked at him suspiciously: "Huh?"

What is he talking about?

Seeing that Mu Jiuyue was truly unmoved by him, the man couldn't help but cough lightly: "You really don't recognize me?"

"Should I get to know you?" Mu Jiuyue countered. "That's not important. What's important is, could you give me another ring like this?"

"My name is Wei Lie," the man said.

"And then?" Mu Jiuyue looked at him suspiciously. "Fine, if you don't want to give it to me, then don't."

Mu Jiuyue turned and left.

"Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. I meant, my name is Wei Lie, let's be friends." Wei Lie tried to persuade Mu Jiuyue to stay: "I have a box of rings like these."

Mu Jiuyue turned around again and patted Wei Lie's chest enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, we're friends now. Let's go look at the rings."

Wei Lie, somewhat bewildered, led Mu Jiuyue to his villa on Qingfeng Mountain, where he actually found a large box of rings of a similar type.

When Mu Jiuyue saw these rings, her eyes widened in amazement.

Wei Lie felt somewhat frustrated when he saw that Mu Jiuyue's attention was entirely focused on the rings.

He's the richest man in the area.

In Mu Jiuyue's eyes, it wasn't even as good as a box of rings?

"You're giving all of these to me?" Mu Jiuyue looked at Wei Lie with a big smile, her expectant eyes making it hard for anyone to refuse.

Wei Lie nodded, and Mu Jiuyue didn't even bother with formalities before putting the item into her spatial storage.

Sure enough, the space swallowed the entire box of rings in the next second.

The land, which was originally only a few dozen square meters, was instantly expanded into three acres of black soil.

The original well water has turned into stream water, meandering along the black soil.

Mu Jiuyue's smile stretched almost to her ears; even the ants on the ground could feel her joy.

"Is there anything else?" Mu Jiuyue asked, unwilling to give up.

"That's all, that's all," Wei Lie replied.

Mu Jiuyue licked her lips; she knew she had been too greedy.

But I just couldn't resist!

These upgrade rules are absolutely absurd!

It all depends on luck!

Who knows what the next opportunity for an upgrade will be!
