“Senior, you’re amazing! The things you happened to collect can save your life now!” Fang Hao praised from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t expect He Zizhong to be making excuses. He really thought he was planning to open a store, and was busy arranging it.
Wasn’t it?1As in, wasn’t he amazing (follow up from his spoken line) The information he helped him find included various methods for making non-staple food seasonings. Senior should have wanted to use products in the space to make them, but was afraid of being discovered by others, so he wanted to personally study it!
He Zizhong felt a little blush creep up. The smile on Fang Hao’s face was from the heart, and the dimple was full of joy – joy of being happy for him.
On the originally bare soil slopes, saplings were divided into categories and planted in groups of three to five. Various fruit trees in the middle and lower parts, tea plants in the middle part, and trees that could produce various types of wood at the top…
There was a bamboo forest below the hillside, extending to behind the bamboo house. From the other side to the water pool not far away, were dense green grasses, wild flowers of various colors, pigs, cows, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and other common domestic animals and poultry.
A white curtain of water hung off the cliff, straight into the deep pool. Fish and shrimps of various colors shuttled freely amongst the water plants, lotus leaves, water chestnut leaves and other aquatic plants. The creek extending from the pool was paved with pebbles of various colors, and transparent small shrimps, loaches, and small fish swam around.
In the distance, there was a blue “pool” lying in the white sand, like a top-grade blue gemstone lying on a beautiful white porcelain plate.
“This is…” Looking at the familiar “beach”, Fang Hao stared at He Zizhong with wide eyes.
He Zizhong nodded emphatically: “Yes, this is the beach where we were on vacation. The water was also collected from the sea.” What he didn’t expect was that the sea and the creatures in the sea were alive!
Although the area was small, those sea creatures really survived!
The sea was not too deep, and someone standing on the beach could see the bottom at a glance. All kinds of marine fish and marine creatures wandered freely inside.
Rocks, corals, and white sand dotted the bottom. Standing where he is now, Fang Hao could see a big starfish. The starfish was very familiar, it was something they discovered during a dive a few days ago!
“These, these are all collected by senior a few days ago?!” There was even a few huge reefs in the sea emerging from the water, with some shellfish lying on them. Fang Hao didn’t know their names well, but he knew they were delicious.
“Yes, do you like it?” Fang Hao’s surprise gave He Zizhong a sense of satisfaction. This space was his nest for their future lives. Even if the earth turned upside down, they could have a complete peace of mind.
Fang Hao nodded vigorously. Although it was still very imperfect, the environment, air, and everything here was more than satisfactory.
“Senior, if you trust me, I can help you take care of this place. I collected planting knowledge and have some impression from when I checked the information…”
“What’s not to trust?” He Zizhong understood that all his previous worries were the sequelae of rebirth. “Since I brought you in, of course I believe and trust you. From now on, this will be our home.”
Fang Hao was speechless for a while, he lowered his head and leaned lightly on He Zizhong’s shoulder. Senior believes in him so much… he must do his best! Protect him and his secret!
Inside the bamboo building was some furniture, sofas, coffee tables, and small tables, all from He Zizhong’s original home.
The refrigerator, kitchen utensils, etc. in the kitchen were also brought in.
“You didn’t bring everything in the house, right?” Fang Hao opened the refrigerator and saw that the contents were exactly the same as before he left a few days ago. He couldn’t help but laugh.
He Zizhong coughed: “Everything is inside. I originally wanted to go to N city first, then go to the northwest grassland to collect some things, so I just put everything into the space…”
In the full four acres of storage space2There are 2 layers in his space. The top with the bamboo house, fields, and mountains. The bottom or basement is for storage, and a separate dimension from the top., were the various materials that He Zizhong bought with three cards. But because the space was too large, those things only occupied a small corner.
The upper and lower levels of the space don’t seem to be connected, otherwise, the water would have leaked below with such a deep pool.
“The things stored here will not age and the taste will not change. What the state is when it is put in, will be the state when it is taken out. The above is the same as the outside world, where things will age and break if they are left for a long time, but planting time is greatly shortened.” Keeping items in their original condition is the same as other spatial abilities.
Fang Hao’s eyes lit up: “Then we can make more food and put it here, and then take it out when we use it.”
He Zizhong nodded and smiled at him: “Then I will trouble you.”
“No problem!”
The food produced in the space was placed on the left, and daily necessities, various foods, and materials bought from the outside world was placed on the right. Seeds were put aside separately.
He Zizhong had no time or money to prepare racks before, so things could only be stacked one by one for now. Fortunately, things in this space can be placed and taken with his mind, and things will not squeeze each other when stacked.
Fang Hao picked up an apple in the space, put it under his nose and smelled it: “The products in the space are not the same as the things outside. Let’s be careful in the future and never take space products directly. When going out, even if we take some, it’s better if handled in advance.”
Before the apocalypse, it didn’t matter if some foods tasted different – it could be regarded as a specialty and selling point. However, now, any vegetables and fruits from the space are all extremely fresh and more delicious, and might easily arouse other people to have ideas.
He Zizhong was surprised and very pleased. He didn’t expect Fang Hao to think of this so quickly; he didn’t need to remind him.
“Ah! Senior, we haven’t eaten yet! Let me cook first!”
The space has all the ingredients. He Zizhong has even bought several gas tanks and installed them in the kitchen. Fang Hao took some materials and rushed to the kitchen to start cooking.
“I will simmer some more rice, add some noodles, and prepare some dishes that can be eaten with pastries3Think scallion pancakes, wraps, and the like. ‘Bing’ is a category of food with the literal English translation being pastry or something of that sort.. By the way, we have to find a way to go to the market or the supermarket to get some small plastic bags, fresh-keeping bags, etc. Each kind of food will be prepared separately, and can be directly taken out when eating, which is convenient and easy.” Fang Hao planned to make some riceballs and flatbread rolls as their main meals outside.
These two things are very inconspicuous in appearance, and are very convenient to have appear and disappear without raising questions.4I.e., they’re small and can be taken out of the space as if it was stored in their pockets/bags.
“Okay, do you know how to bake bread? You can also put other things5e.g., fillings. Think steamed buns with fillings such as pork, red bean, or custard in it.” Early on in the apocalypse, most people who explored and collected materials would give priority to bread because it had a short shelf life and had to be eaten as soon as it was found.
In the later stage, instant noodles were be the main focus, and then, cakes made of various grains and wheat bran.
“Yes!” Fang Hao nodded hurriedly. “Biscuits, pancakes, pocket pies, baked buns, I have learned all these! I’ll make them slowly these days!”
“No hurry, you can make less today, as long it’s enough to eat for a day or two. From now on, we will go out every afternoon to look for things and inquire about news. In the evening, we can go back to the space to farm and organize supplies. I will trouble you to make some food in the morning.” Despite saying that, He Zizhong still planned to help in the kitchen.
He doesn’t know how to cook. When steaming rice, one or two times out of ten times, he will use too much heat, and another one or two times, the rice will still be raw.
But, he still has the skill to prepare dried shiitake mushrooms, soak dried scallops, and wash vegetables.
“How is this troublesome? I like cooking.” Fang Hao smiled happily. He was happiest to prepare food for He Zizhong. Especially now the situation outside is so chaotic, doing these things makes him feel particularly at ease. Otherwise, anyone facing such scenes outside will feel desperate.
“Senior, help me get some well water and I’ll go prepare lunch.”
“Well water?” He Zizhong was stunned. There was a well behind the house, but… in fact, he basically never used it.
Well water is not easy to mention. In his last life, Dai Jun was particularly troublesome when he lived in the space, and he always used water from the waterfall at the back of the mountain. The water is very clean, and nothing was raised in the pool at that time.
“En! The water looks clean and can be drunk directly.” Fang Hao nodded without looking up.
Yes, fish, shrimps, and crabs are now raised in the pool. Ducks and white geese will even go and swim around there from time to time. He Zizhong is unwilling to drink the water there.
Taking a bucket, he went to the back. The top of the well is piled high with large cyan rocks, and above it is a wooden shelf and bucket, wrapped with layers of thick rope.
With a “puff”, the bucket fell into the water.
He Zizhong shook his hand and began pulling up the water. As soon as his hand approached the bucket, he felt the coldness of the water, with a hint of refreshment.
Leaning over to check the bucket suspiciously, the sense of clarity became stronger.
He tried a small sip. The water was sweet and refreshing. The fatigue caused by the low-grade fever disappeared! And there was a feeling of being full of power in his body!
Does this water have special benefits for the human body?!
He Zizhong was stunned, and quickly poured water into the bucket, and scooped more up until the bucket he had brought was full.
“Fang Hao, come, you drink this water, how do you feel?”
Before He Zizhong entered the door, he shouted to Fang Hao. Although Fang Hao was puzzled, he quickly put down the work in his hands, helped him carry the water in, and took some with the water scoop.
“Sweet. Sweet water well!” Fang Hao lived in the country’s grandfather’s house for a while, knowing how rare sweet water wells6Think literal: wells which produce sweet tasting water. If you’ve never tried, it’s really good… were.
“What else?” He Zizhong looked at him, not sure if what happened before was an illusion.
“Also?” Fang Hao tilted his head to think about it, took another sip, and his eyes lit up, “Ah! It seems… it’s a bit… but it’s not clear… After drinking it, it feels like… it feels as if something is absorbed in the body, and feels very comfortable.”
He Zizhong breathed a sigh of relief: “After my fever every day, won’t my body feel uncomfortable for a while in the morning? Like having no strength. But after drinking this water just now, I feel that my strength has been replenished all at once.”
“Great! Senior drink more! Maybe your illness will get better soon!” He Zizhong nodded silently. How stupid was he in his last life? Don’t talk about recognizing the wrong people, he also didn’t know the thing that could improve his condition was in his space! No wonder he was driven to a dead end in the end!
Sheer stupidity!
I want a space like that… 😢

Every time the Mc got a space it eill always have spring water that can replenish energy
Hehe, the ultimate trump card: spring water with energy!
Well, in this case, it’s well water 😂
FH is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute
He didnt touch a single water in his space in his last life? The f?
There’s a somewhat waterfalls inside his space too and it is his main source of water and basically ignored the well in his previous life…
Tbf, I could find him reasonable at this incident. He have another water source, one that he only need to scoop water from. I would also rather get water from that. Have someone tried getting water from the well? Gosh my fvkng back! Does his well even have a proper equipment? That’s triple the back pain if he did not.
Not to talk about the constant fear of accidentally falling in
+1
+HZ always busy outside trying to find foods etc while the ex Bf lying around inside. I don’t think HZ has time to properly check everything while running away from zombie.
Why would you ever want to leave unless you really really needed something? Like life&death situations? I’m sorry… Does not compute. Brain says NO.
I do like hte fact that MC always recognized his own stupidity and misjudgments, he doesn’t try to make excuses for himself and tries to rights the wrongs of his past life with his own power and not holding some golden thigh, instead he becomes the golden thigh lol.
The idea of magical space is too convenient as a trope and I like the parodies of it more… but this story is pretty good so far. I remember reading a few magical space novels (not on NU then, untranslated) set in modern times, not apocalypse. One was about a college student who got together with his professor, a fluffy slice of life/fantasy type novel. The other was a comedy, fantasy about a farmer minotaur whose soul got transported into the body of a young guy who was basically killed by his stepmom and dad’s cruel treatment but the main plot is very funny. Eventually he gets his minotaur body back and the ML has this hilarious minotaur fetish from gaming and gets his ideal lover IRL. So cute… I generally think magical space novels are too hard to think could be believable but sometimes they set a cute background. Oh there was also a novel where the MC, cooking streamer, gets reincarnated to like the 80s with his kitchen, I didn’t finish it but I might try it again someday. Although it has kind of lower rating on jjwxc.
