4: Space 2

"Are you the owner of this space?"

"Can you tell me about this space?"

After Su Mianmian heard the great tree's answer, her mouth twitched. If she hadn't studied acting in her previous world, she would have shown a genuinely speechless expression to the great tree right now.

She was trying her best to control her expression, only hoping that the great tree wouldn't give her vague answers anymore.

"I am not the owner of this space."

"I have been waiting for the owner of the space."

"As for what's in the space, I think it can be introduced by dividing it into a few zones."

"The first is the Storage Zone. You can bring things from outside and put them here. Whatever state they are in when you put them in, they will be in the same state when you take them out."

"The second is where you are now. This is called the Planting Zone. Here, you can plant whatever you want. The time ratio is one to ten, meaning one day for you is ten days here."

"The third is the Livestock Zone. There, you can raise whatever animals you want. The time ratio is the same as here."

"The fourth is the Rest Zone. The first floor is for miscellaneous things, the second floor is for sleeping, the third floor is the armory, and the fourth floor is for books. The fifth floor is the alchemy room. As for the other floors, you are not yet qualified to go up. I will tell you when you are qualified."

"The last one is amazing. It's the Supply Zone. Inside, there's a spirit spring water and a small spirit spring stream. If you want to strengthen your physique, cleanse your marrow, heal, and make plants and animals grow quickly, you must rely on it!"

"Some places aren't suitable for dividing into zones, for example, there are also mountains, seas, and other things within the space. I think you can explore them slowly on your own."

After the great tree finished introducing the space in one breath, it was so happy that its leaves couldn't help but tremble.

Su Mianmian could understand the previous functional zones based on what the great tree said, but she didn't quite understand the last one it mentioned.

"Where is that last zone you mentioned?"

"Can I cleanse my marrow now?"

"I want to strengthen my physique."

Su Mianmian urgently wanted to become stronger, which was why she was most interested in the last zone.

Although Shi Xu had a responsibility towards her, Su Mianmian was not the Original Body's Owner after all. If Shi Xu knew that the original Su Mianmian was no longer there, then... Su Mianmian didn't even dare to imagine how he would deal with her.

The best course of action right now was to handle both matters well.

She didn't want to become anyone's canary.

Su Mianmian felt that the most important rule for surviving in the apocalypse was to rely on oneself.

"You probably can't cleanse your marrow right now."

"You look very weak."

"You should first drink a little diluted spirit spring water every day to slowly acclimate."

"Then, exercise every day. With your frail body, I feel that if you drink it now, I'll lose my owner."

The great tree paused after hearing Su Mianmian's words, but ultimately decided it was better to be honest.

Just as it said, it didn't want to just get an owner and then lose her quickly again.

Su Mianmian also didn't want to die. She was worried that if she died this time, she would be truly gone.

After hearing what the great tree said, she gave up the idea of drinking that water right now.

"Then how long will it take for me to be able to cleanse my marrow?"

"It won't take a very, very long time, will it?"

Su Mianmian thought about how the apocalypse was coming soon, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

It seemed that the path to strengthening one's physique was not that easy to walk.

But she would not give up.

"If you also exercise every day, I think you should be able to cleanse your marrow in about half a month."

"Why are you in such a hurry to cleanse your marrow?"

"Cleansing your marrow is very painful, you know!"

"I think you shouldn't try it easily. Maybe you won't be able to endure it and you'll kick the bucket!"

The great tree felt it was better to remind Su Mianmian, lest she think marrow cleansing was fun and want to try it.

She had to know the severity of it.

If she knew the consequences and still wanted to try, then it wouldn't stop her.

Thinking of this, the great tree looked at Su Mianmian with a hint of scrutiny.

The owner it chose shouldn't back down after encountering a small consequence, right?

If Su Mianmian knew what it was thinking, she would definitely say it was being disingenuous.

It said it didn't want her to try, but in its heart, it secretly wanted her to try.

"Of course I'll try."

"I must become strong."

Su Mianmian said to the great tree with a solemn expression.

The great tree was infected by her determination, and in its heart, it couldn't help but acknowledge Su Mianmian as its owner.

"In that case, you must work hard."

"I look forward to the day I see you cleanse your marrow."

The great tree said, its tone full of anticipation.

Su Mianmian nodded, then asked a question she had been curious about for a long time.

"great tree, besides rice, what other plants are in the Planting Zone?"

"And are there any animals in the Livestock Zone?"

"Are there any fish in the sea?"

Besides being concerned about her own strength, Su Mianmian was also quite concerned about these questions.

"The Planting Zone also has wheat and various fruit trees."

"As for the Livestock Zone, it seems there aren't many animals."

"There are fish in the sea. I think there are definitely more fish than in the sea where you are."

"There are animals on the mountain. As for what kind, there are too many, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

The great tree felt that it had said too much today, so much that it felt like it had said all the words it hadn't spoken for hundreds of years, all at once.

Su Mianmian realized that the great tree was a tsundere tree.

Since it didn't want to talk anymore, she would explore it slowly later.

She was about to say something when the great tree suddenly exclaimed. Su Mianmian thought something had happened to it, but then she heard it say that it could send her the data of the space.

Su Mianmian: "..."

"Oh, isn't it because I haven't had an owner for a long time, so I forgot some things?"

"Don't look at me like that anymore."

The great tree felt embarrassed by Su Mianmian's speechless expression, and its tone was full of pleading.

Su Mianmian didn't want to complain about it anymore.

"Then send me the information now."

"But how do you send it?"

Just as Su Mianmian finished asking the great tree how it would send her the information, her head suddenly stung.

After her head stopped hurting, information about the space entered her mind.

Su Mianmian didn't waste time. She immediately began to review the spatial information the great tree had sent her.

After she finished reading it, her eyes immediately lit up.
