Chapter 4 – Space? An odd storage method.

 

Xiao Ziling, who had ended the conversation, began to explore his space. This space that could act as storage for resources, doubtlessly it was Xiao Ziling’s biggest crutch, so of course, he must thoroughly research this thing.

Xiao Ziling took out one of his shirts and silently thought of entering. So it happens, the person and the clothing really entered together. Xiao Ziling had the shirt directly tossed away. An abnormal event occurred, the shirt did not remain where it had been thrown to, and straight-away flew to the deepest corner, flatly laying there.

So the items are automatically shelved? To verify Xiao Ziling wisely took a pair of shorts and once again tossed it in. So it happens, the shorts still streaked out, creating an orbit. It flew beside the shirt, but between them was a little distance.

Xiao Ziling once again went out. When he was about to pick up objects and continue testing, he thought that this way of constantly entering and exiting the space with his whole person had neither much secrecy nor security. Could his will be used to store?

Xiao Ziling picked up several jackets, socks and shoes, thought of the objects entering, the person not entering, but did not succeed. This time even the person did not go in. Then what should he do? Xiao Ziling thought of a few science fiction novels he had read. In those fantasies concerning space, all of them used psychic power to open and close the space. Was it really as such?

Xiao Ziling’s entire mind concentrated on the jackets and footwear in his hands. He silently recited a word, keep.

Success, the items vanished in front of his eyes. If this is the case, is it possible to directly move the items in without touching them? Xiao Ziling stared at a piece of leather clothing in front. For a long time, there was no reaction. He walked over, used his hand to paw it once, and the leather clothing disappeared. Seems like it has to be an item he personally touched before it could be placed inside the space. What a pity! If there wasn’t this restriction, and just by looking he could store, wouldn’t that be more clandestine. There would be basically no possibility of being exposed. If a farming type of space was added on, that would be even better.

Xiao Ziling self-mocking smiled. Too greedy, despite possessing this kind of heaven-defying space equipment, he still wanted to obtain even better. Know to be content ba*.

He tried closing his eyes to check his space and saw the entire space appear in his mind. The previous objects were already inside. However, he saw that a western kind of overcoat had flown to the shirt’s corner, while those like the longer coats and windbreakers then went to another place. They did not gather together with the western types of outfits. In the same understanding, the shoes occupied a piece of land, the socks were similarly as such.

This space seemed to have the capability of segregating the inventory. Furthermore, each type occupied an approximately square space. Seeing a pair of lonely shoes on that square area, Xiao Ziling walked over to have one side of the shoe dragged a little closer. He didn’t think that once he let go of his hand, the shoes automatically returned to their original place.

Seems like, apparently, the items return to where they belong. To Xiao Ziling this news was half good half bad. The good side was that taking things would be more convenient. When he wants a certain item he won’t be clueless about where to even go to search. Also, the same type of goods could be accumulated. Presently, he was unclear on how high his storing limit was. The bad news was that he cannot store items at will now. Speaking according to space area, this space of his could store at most 100 types of objects.

Don’t know whether the goods – do they have size restrictions? Xiao Ziling immediately had his six-foot-large bed brought in. This time, the movement shockingly caused his psychic power to have a sudden emptiness. It seems like the good’s size and mass suffer psychic power restrictions. Don’t know if after practice – after the psychic power strengthens – can the items he store correspondingly become bigger and heavier?

He continued to inspect the space, only to see the big bed shrink in scale in the blink of an eye until it was a mini little bed about a meter give or take in length. It was still occupying a square meter box. This was good news, bulky wares won’t take away too much space this way.

Time passed by very fast, he had just started exercising his space, and already it had reached noon. According to his plan, today afternoon he must first go to the bank. He will bring out his family’s deposits a little earlier, then begin stocking resources a little earlier. Fortunately, there was still had half a year’s time till the apocalypse. He can bit-by-bit purchase, like how small streams forever flow*. This way, he will not elicit other peoples’ scrutiny.

Xiao Ziling began to move after eating his lunch. He went to neighbourhood underground parking lot, started his car, and directly went to the bank.

Xiao Ziling originally prepared to immediately withdraw all the deposits, but because the amount was larger, the bank informed him he needed to make an appointment beforehand. There was no way of withdrawing on the day itself. Without any other choice, he could only arrange to come and withdraw money the next day. Presently, Xiao Ziling had in hand almost 60 thousand in cash, among which 40 thousand was his parents’ emergency protection funds, and 15 thousand was the savings his parents had left behind. He himself in 3 years had saved around 4 thousand, and this was also the story behind why he did not have much in meals. Otherwise, he certainly would not have this much left.

First, he had his own deposits all withdrawn, then he drove to an Auchan supermarket. He purchased five bags filled with 5kg of rice, then took some fresh pork and beef, as well as other food. The fresh vegetables and fruits he took also weren’t few. He stuffed the shopping until it was firmly and truly filled to the brim, then went out to receive the bill. Afterwards, he went inside the parking garage to put the groceries into the car, coming and returning in this way several times. Finally, he had the car stuffed to the brim, and only then did he rest.

It was not that Xiao Ziling could not have the things directly put inside his space at the supermarket garage, but he was uncertain about whether there were spying, peeping heads. Also, he was fearful that excessively buying will attract peoples’ deliberate attention. Besides, the supermarket had many outlets, he could go to other supermarkets to shop again later.

Xiao Ziling started the car and directly returned to his neighbourhood. When he stopped the car he first had the things inside the car placed inside the space. Looking at the surrounding people, Xiao Ziling opened the rear boot and had the heavy items first secretly transferred into his space, only leaving those that seemed physically larger, but had light actual weights. Fresh vegetables and bread, of these kinds, he carried four or five bags of big and small varying sizes. Then he limped towards the elevator and returned home.

He entered the door, locked up, and first left out the food for tonight and tomorrow morning’s meal. The rest he placed inside his space. Xiao Ziling did not go out immediately, continuing to practice the Pure Heart Art. This whole day he had constantly experimented on the space, his head had some dull throbbing pain, energy seemed to be overtaxed, the entire person extremely exhausted. Using the space didn’t not have strings attached, according to present Xiao Ziling’s capabilities, in one day he only could open and close the space about twenty times, give or take.*

Once he woke up again, it was yet another day. Xiao Ziling’s energy was very abundant, he began to examine his space again, seeing if his space had the ability to ensure freshness.

Huh?* Xiao Ziling looked with shock at the several similarly sized big bags on the same area. Many different foods were stuffed inside, there were cans, there was fresh meat, there was frozen food, vegetables, fruits, and more. Yesterday, because he had been too tired, Xiao Ziling directly had the bag shifted into his space. Originally he believed that they would be classified and separated automatically by the space. Didn’t think that the space would give him a big surprise, and have these items simply classified as one type, occupying a corner of the space.

Is this to say, the storage bag is thus simply recognized as one item? So it happens, the five bags containing 5kg of rice each, also occupied the same corner. This really was good news, items just needed to be stuffed in a bag, or stored in a container, so they won’t take up too much space.

Immediately, Xiao Ziling had everything inside the space all moved out. Fortunately, when it comes to taking out items, regardless of how many he takes out, it’s all counted as opening and closing once. Otherwise, with that many items removed at once, he was afraid his psychic power would be directly emptied clean.

The fresh meat in the bag still carried its original chilly, freezer air. The vegetables were still tender and mouth-watering, still appearing as if they had been recently bought. It seemed like the time inside the space was indeed stopped. In this case, even if more food is stored, there is totally no need to worry about the problem of rotting and expiring.

Xiao Ziling found in his house three identical suitcases, then had his shoes, socks, clothes, all placed inside this storage box, cramming it to the brim. One of the suitcases was filled with books, one had cooking equipment placed inside. After that, he had the cases kept in his space. So it happens, the three cases piled up together on same single square meter space. They did not separate despite the differing interior items.

Haha, this is too great. Originally he was still worried about all kinds of problems, now that they’ve been solved, as long as he had suitcases and bags, he could disregard this issue. Plus, goods bigger than a square area will automatically shrink to fit. Then, was this showing that if he had the capability, those shipping containers can thus be stored in his space, while occupying only a square?

Don’t know how many objects one square can accumulate. Xiao Ziling seemed to have thought of something and evilly smiled. If there were other people present, Xiao Ziling’s expression would have definitely caused them to collapse from cuteness*. Regardless of the type of expression Xiao Ziling makes, cuteness was his number one label. Even if they understood that he was cogitating mischief, it would let people view him as a strange spirit, wouldn’t let people hate and dislike.

Xiao Ziling had the rice barrel in his house directly taken out, then began to count out the rice. Every hundredth he kept once. During the tenth time storing, there was a change in the space. A grain of rice automatically separated and flew to another empty spot. Seems like the storage limit of a square meter is 999 portions. This number was already very high, it could be basically regarded as a beyond-large capacity.

Xiao Ziling again thought of shipping containers, one square meter having 999 containers. Damn, this was too awesome. This about represents that his space can store without limits. Of course, all these he could only YY* a little. According to Xiao Ziling’s current capabilities, he basically couldn’t keep shipping containers that big. Hadn’t it been seen; keeping a 6-foot bed almost had his psychic power consumed clean. If he wants to reach that point, he doesn’t know how long he needs to practice for. Don’t know, could he succeed before the end of the world?

Xiao Ziling felt that his wishes weren’t big. After all, he was pretty good-for-nothing. Putting down his fantasies, Xiao Ziling continued today’s tasks, withdrawing all his savings. After that, he found a reputable production factory on the internet and ordered five thousand large, hemp sacks with identical specifications and 20000 large, plastic cabinets, also with identical specifications. At suburbs, he also found a certain marketplace, took a fancy to a relatively big warehouse and completed the accompanying rent procedures onsite. Now, Xiao Ziling could fearlessly stock up.
