Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Space Password Upgrade Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Space Password Upgrade “Ha ha…”

Behind them, some people were already whispering to each other. Besides that, everyone had the look of someone enjoying the show on their faces.

Listening to everyone’s mockery, the woman’s complexion turned rather unsightly.

“Don’t try to change the subject. We’re here today because we want something.”

Jhiang Yuan looked at the people in front of her, feeling even more delighted inside.

“Lawyer, may I ask if you’re here to buy things or if you just want things?

These are two different concepts. Don’t lawyers like to quibble over words? You should make that clear.”

Sun Yian had seen his fair share of situations, a few words from Jhiang Yuan weren’t going to make him lose composure.

In the end, everything still remained calm.

“Jhiang Yuan, this matter doesn’t concern you. We are all neighbors, and I understand that you want to stand up for 2102, but right now, everyone is short on supplies.

Our good neighbor moved several loads of things back home today.

Selling some to us wouldn’t make much of an impact.”

Jhiang Yuan sneered. This man deliberately said she wanted to stand up for them, and indirectly implied that she had a thing with them.

However, she didn’t want to quibble over this matter too much.

In the apocalypse, arguing over who was right or wrong was meaningless.

Wasting words was just like wasting water resources.

“So, are you saying you want to coerce a sale?”

Her smile was brimming with meaning, as if she were talking about the weather not being so good that day.

“That’s not what we mean. Of course, a purchase presumes willingness.”

Sun Yian pushed up his glasses; Jhiang Yuan was eloquent and annoying.

Song Yi, listening to the conversation, said coldly, “I’m not willing to sell, please leave!”

The people below were somewhat unwilling, but with Sun Yian leading, nobody dared to speak loudly.

The most disgruntled were the family on the 20th floor. Jhiang Yuan looked at Miss Compass and the man with the scar across his face—they were definitely among the most dangerous people here.

“Alright, you’ve heard it, she’s not willing to sell, let’s go back.

Don’t forget certain things.

A few days ago, many people in our building went out to buy supplies, we all saw that.”

Her gaze swept over everyone in the hallway, including those who had bought stuff.

“Lawyer Sun, here’s a suggestion for you and everyone else. The rainstorm doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon.

Better try to get more cash. Sooner or later, power will go out, and mobile payments won’t be around for long.

There are still places selling things outside, so buy more if you can get out, you know?”

Others knew what she meant, but gathering some cash was still necessary.

Having spoken, Jhiang Yuan immediately shut the other door, isolating everything from the outside world.

“Next time, if something like this happens, just ignore them,” Sun Yian advised.

Song Yi massaged his temples. High-intensity work wasn’t really a problem.

But the noise from that crowd was exhausting.

“I was afraid that if I went inside, they would keep making a fuss, disturbing you, which wouldn’t be good.”

The 21st floor wasn’t his alone; he had to consider the feelings of others.

“So, did you really manage to get a lot of supplies this time out?”

Looking at the two bulging backpacks at his feet, Jhiang Yuan realized the answer.

Song Yi didn’t deny it and nodded.

“Jhiang Yuan, let’s cut to the chase, you also think the rainstorm won’t easily stop, right?”

She didn’t say anything; she just stared into his eyes as if wanting to discern something.

“I think so too. These past few days, you’ve also gone out to get supplies.

I have a proposal. Let’s go together, and don’t get me wrong, I still think they won’t give up just like that.

We live in the same building. If one household falls, the other is in danger too.”

Jhiang Yuan nodded. During the hot weather, she had been envied simply because of air conditioning.

Now that they had supplies, they naturally became the object of others’ envy.

“Sure, we really should band together.

When will you go out again? Call me to join you.”

“Okay!”

After agreeing on this, they each returned to their own homes.

Song Yi was exposed this time because he had too many things, and the process of moving them was time-consuming.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t take out her supplies because she wanted to wait until most people were out of resources before acting.

By then, she could sell them for a high price.

She needed cash to increase time and she wouldn’t care about being moral or not.

After returning home, she went straight to the space.

She had brought back so many things the day before and needed to organize them.

The upgrade page lit up again, and now the “wood” character also glowed.

The icons from last time were still there, and there was an additional one that looked like a simple drawing of a well.

Thinking of that wardrobe, her suspicions suddenly grew.

But that one seemed more like land, and she wanted to try it out too.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

“After ‘wood’ comes ‘water,’ and in this heavy rain, there’s plenty of water.”

So, she decisively chose the land.

After the icon went out, she hurriedly ran outside to check.

There was a change, a real change.

The neatly arranged courtyard suddenly gained a new corner, about one square meter in size.

The surrounding area was still shrouded in mist, obscuring the view.

“Huh?”

Jhiang Yuan’s hand suddenly ached, and she saw the bracelet emitting a faint golden glow.

The number 10 lit up on its own.

She was shocked and instinctively touched it.

The glow disappeared instantly, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

But she quickly ran back, and “water” was now lit up, with another icon added, resembling a five-hole outlet.

So, had she just activated a switch? Could it be that this space was controllable and would only change upon contact with the switch, regardless of what was put inside?

Then what about the previous two occurrences?

She fiddled with her wrist and figured it out.

Since she never took off the bracelet, she must have accidentally touched it.

Now that she knew about this, she would have to be more careful in the future.

There was no distinction between day and night in this space. Whether the icon was for charging or indicated there would be light was unclear to her.

She simply chose the well.

In the corner of the courtyard, a well really appeared, which was very convenient.

Still, the focus was on land.

Next, she needed to gather resources, and space was the most important.

At home, they had previously stocked up on matches and lighters, as well as a gas stove and tile stove.

For gardening, they also had some nutrient soil.

After fiddling for a while, she added two more square meters.

Even though it wasn’t much, she was satisfied.

There was still plenty of gold jewelry left, enough for her to try once more, but she didn’t know what the outcome would be this time.

With an excited heart, she pressed “10,” and the gold character on the screen lit up again, seemingly brighter than before.

A “2” also appeared above it, could it mean an upgrade?

No matter, she chose another piece of land, and that was enough for today.
