Chapter 1
"Recently, various geological disasters have been occurring frequently. Some experts predict..."
"Jiang Rui'an, I can give you child support, but you must take the child!"
"Why should I?! How am I supposed to remarry with this burden?"
Two voices raised in heated argument echoed from the divorce registration office at the civil affairs bureau.
The staff member looked sympathetically at the beautiful five-year-old girl standing between the couple's feet, looking like a porcelain doll, and sighed softly.
So young, and her parents were divorcing, neither wanting to keep her.
How pitiful...
Wait, that's strange.
Why is she smiling?
Indeed, Yun Xiaoxiao was in a good mood right now.
Because she had been reborn!
Back to ten years ago, six days before the apocalypse broke out!
"Yun Shaokai, I'm telling you, if you're not willing to raise this burden, you can forget about getting divorced today, and you can forget about continuing to have fun with those girlfriends of yours!"
"Jiang Rui'an, don't think I don't know what you've been up to. Didn't you just hook up with some powerful man? You're afraid you won't be able to marry into a wealthy family if you take her with you, right?"
Yun Shaokai pointed at Yun Xiaoxiao, who was standing quietly to the side, and sneered.
"You two, if you haven't decided who will have custody of the child, we cannot process your divorce," the staff member said, unable to watch any longer.
What kind of ridiculous parents were these, saying such things in front of a child?
If they didn't want to raise her, why did they have her in the first place?
With the divorce application rejected, the couple continued arguing as they walked towards the exit.
Yun Xiaoxiao silently followed behind on her short legs.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed over her.
She looked up and met a pair of eyes filled with disgust.
"Don't follow me, go with your father!"
She glared at Yun Xiaoxiao in revulsion, snorted coldly, and strode away in her high heels.
Watching the woman's heartless departure, Yun Xiaoxiao lowered her head quietly.
Under her thick lashes, a pair of bright eyes held a coldness that didn't match her age.
In her previous life, at the same time, in the same place.
What had she done then?
Oh, right...
Cried...
That's right, in her previous life she had cried until her eyes were swollen.
Begging them not to divorce, begging her mother to take her.
But all she got in return was a cold "Your dad will find you lots of new moms" before being pushed away mercilessly.
Her tiny body fell onto the cold ground.
It was her body that hurt, but it was her heart that shattered.
"What a jinx!" Yun Shaokai kicked the nearby flower bed in frustration.
"Here's a hundred yuan, take a taxi home yourself."
He irritably pulled out a hundred-yuan note from his wallet and tossed it on the ground.
Then he quickly walked towards his luxury car.
From start to finish, he never looked back at Yun Xiaoxiao once.
As he was about to get in the car, he answered a phone call.
"Alright, baby, wait for me. Of course I love you the most..."
Yun Xiaoxiao didn't know what else Yun Shaokai said, because the car had already driven away.
All that was left for her was a cloud of dust.
Yun Xiaoxiao picked up the hundred-yuan note from the ground, her small fingers lightly tapping it.
Watching the rapidly disappearing car, the corners of her lips curved into an ambiguous smile.
How utterly heartless...
What should she do? She really wanted to... tear them apart!
Deep hatred lurked in the depths of Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes.
In her previous life, after the apocalypse broke out, her "good father" cursed her as a burden every day. She would be scolded and beaten just for asking for a bite to eat.
In the end, he even tricked her, at such a young age, into luring away zombies to buy time for him and his mistress to escape!
After she miraculously escaped the zombies' pursuit, she fell into a den of cannibals.
There, she met Jiang Rui'an.
A "good mother" who could watch her own daughter being bled dry with her eyes wide open!
She begged her to save her.
But the woman pretended not to know her, cold to the extreme!
Yun Xiaoxiao sneered. In this life, she would make all these people pay the price they deserved!
Just then, a sudden pain shot through her head.
Then, an icy cold voice rang out.
[Ding! Super Invincible City Lord System activated!]
[Rewarding newcomer gift package!]
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a tiny six-cubic-decimeter space suddenly appeared in Yun Xiaoxiao's mind.
It was pure white and empty.
Yun Xiaoxiao frowned.
What was this thing?
[Dear host, this is the system space. The flow of time inside is zero, so it can keep things fresh and preserve their quality.]
The voice seemed to know her doubts.
"So you're saying, whatever goes in comes out exactly the same?"
[Mm-hmm, the host is so smart!]
Isn't this just like those space abilities?
In her previous life, people with space abilities were treasured members of every team.
A space that could preserve quality like this was something you couldn't find in even one out of a hundred space ability users.
However...
"What can you fit in this tiny space?"
Yun Xiaoxiao curled her lip in disdain.
It was barely the size of a shoebox. Having it was almost like not having it at all.
You couldn't even fit more than a few bags of instant noodles!
[Ding! System task triggered!
From now on, if the host fills the original space volume to 99%, the space will double in size. Time limit: 6 days, starting now!
If you can expand the ground area of the space to 1 square kilometer within six days, there will be rich rewards!]
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly widened.
Was it really that magical?
She walked over to the flower bed Yun Shaokai had kicked earlier, skeptical.
Placing her hand on one of the potted flowers, she focused her mind, and the flower quickly disappeared.
A potted flower appeared in her mental space.
Her eyes flickered, and she immediately absorbed another potted flower.
[Ding! Space is full. Rewarding six cubic decimeters!]
The space in her mind really did double in size!
"Is there an upper limit to how many times the space can double?"
[Answering the host: there is no limit.]
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled.
In that case, she wouldn't hold back.
As long as hoarding doesn't kill her, she'd hoard to death!
Yun Xiaoxiao took out the hundred-yuan note again and curled her lips.
It was time to give her "good father" a big surprise.
She stood by the roadside and hailed a taxi.
As soon as the car stopped, she reached for the door handle.
But...
It wouldn't budge!
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
She glanced at her small arms and short legs with extreme dissatisfaction.
This really was like working hard for ten years only to go back to square one.
It seemed she would need to find time to retrain her body.
After adjusting to her body, Yun Xiaoxiao finally managed to open the door with effort.
She sat in the back seat.
The driver was a middle-aged man.
Seeing only Yun Xiaoxiao get in the car, he turned his head in confusion.
"Little girl, why are you alone? Where are your mom and dad?"
"Them? They're all dead," Yun Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and smiled sweetly.
The innocent smile made the driver uncle suddenly freeze.
He never expected such an answer.
But to lose her parents at such a young age and still be so strong and optimistic, what a good child.
Perhaps she was too young to understand what death meant.
His voice softened involuntarily.
"Then... little girl, where do you want to go? Uncle will take you there."
"Yunsheng Department Store."
This was a large supermarket owned by Yun Shaokai, with four floors full of supplies.
How could she not empty it out to repay her "good father"...
