章 18: Chapter 11 Space and System
Lin Xiaoguai actually found it a bit strange that the jade pendant was still present.
She had read her fair share of novels featuring space elements, many of which had heroines who carried a space with them back to the past, but as far as she knew, once someone was reborn, the medium that initially granted access to that space should disappear, likely due to the balance of time and space.
Although she had never gone inside, she could feel that her own space was still there, yet the jade pendant remained intact as well.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, could it be...
If she remembered correctly, when she initially discovered the space, the jade pendant had already developed a web of fine cracks reminiscent of a spider's web due to a broken chain, but at this moment, the jade pendant was still perfectly whole!
But... Lin Xiaoguai eyed the jade pendant in her hand with some frustration, the key issue was that she had no idea how she had originally opened the space. There was no such thing as blood recognition; she hadn't even dreamed during her sleep. Just a slight fever followed by a few days of delirium, and when she woke up, the space was there, and the jade pendant had disappeared.
This was also why she only started to explore the space after she was left alone in the house.
Helplessly, she pocketed the pendant chain and with a thought, Lin Xiaoguai appeared inside the space.
Indeed, it was still that small space... Lin Xiaoguai hadn't even begun to feel disappointed when the space suddenly started to shake, and before she could react, she was abruptly ejected.
What was going on?
Lin Xiaoguai instinctively tried to re-enter the space, only to find that she couldn't get inside. Her gaze sparked with light as she pulled out the pendant chain from her pocket.
—The delicate little jade pendant had vanished without a trace.
Although the lack of expected fever and delirium had reassured Lin Xiaoguai, being denied entry by the space, a situation she had never encountered before, left her feeling extremely anxious and uneasy, unable to sit or lie down in peace, to the point where the afternoon tea she had meticulously planned was canceled due to both subjective and objective reasons.
—Unable to enter the space, indeed she could not bring out the fine Earl Grey tea and various pastries that she treasured within.
As time trickled by, just when Lin Xiaoguai thought she wouldn't have the chance to investigate the changes in the space that day, she suddenly felt it stabilize.
Checking the time, it was half-past three. Shen Xiu would return at the earliest by four, so giving in to her curiosity, Lin Xiaoguai entered the space.
Faced with the scene before her, Lin Xiaoguai's eyes widened in disbelief.
[System...] Her mind subconsciously reached out to the only entity that could answer her questions, [What's going on?]
In her previous life, she had been quite fortunate to get a space that no one else had, but this space was actually very small, just two or three acres in size. Although fertile, and plants grown in it developed a hundred times faster than in normal soil, there wasn't even a wooden hut, the only thing reminiscent of those space novels was a Spiritual Spring Eye capable of Wash Marrow and Cut Tendons, and of curing diseases and detoxifying.
If there was something truly valuable, it was a system bound to the space.
This system wasn't the nurturing type often found in system novels, but a Life Profession System. Of course, the life professions here aren't as exaggerated as in games. Tailor, chef, pharmacist, craftsman, and other traditional professions were all available, and virtually every skill requiring expertise, however big or small, existed, yet one should not expect works with various heavenly attributes, unless the materials themselves possessed those particular properties; there wouldn't be any non-scientific results.
At the same time, the Life Profession System didn't provide the same bonuses as games do; skills could only be upgraded once the necessary experience was reached. In essence, apart from extraordinary technical information and teaching methods, this system was no different from a regular teacher, and the host's learning process was just the same as in reality.
Additionally, the most surprising feature was the exchange shop that came with the system. Although it wasn't as transcendent as those interdimensional trading systems in the novels, where all sorts of cultivation manuals and high-tech products could be purchased, the exchange shop still contained many miraculous items from other planetary civilizations.
Beyond that, what Lin Xiaoguai found most useful and convenient was the accompanying crafting system provided by the system. Given the blueprints and materials, the crafting system could perfectly create whatever you wanted, with guaranteed quality.
Back then, Lin Xiaoguai had received these when she was already in her forties, having lived half her life; she no longer had the heart or courage to make a change.
—She had some understanding of Shen Chi; that paranoid man had let go, but once she found a man and got married, who knew how he might get the man killed, or what unexpected actions he would take upon learning of her recovery. Plus, she didn't have the confidence she could find a man that would satisfy her, as she well knew she could be picky about some things.
