Chapter 1: The Auto-Replenishment Space, A Dream Come True

At this moment, Xie Zhizhi stood in front of rows of empty, milky-white large shelves, breathing heavily.

It was all because she had had a dream.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

The suffocating feeling from the dream hadn’t worn off yet.

Natural disasters and fleeing for survival!

A crowd of emaciated people running desperately, with scenes of snowstorms, tsunamis, extreme cold, and heat, all feeling so real, as if they had actually happened.

It was too real.

She recalled the details of the dream, and one fragment made her feel frustrated.

“Starving and exhausted, still having to run for my life and avoid bandits! Being beaten but too weak to fight back! So frustrating!”

You might wonder why she was frustrated—well, it’s because she had always been strong, even more so than others. Lifting and tossing 200 pounds was a piece of cake for her. But when it mattered most, she just couldn’t use that strength!

To be precise, she couldn’t use it in the dream.

“Ugh, thank goodness it was just a dream.”

She wiped off the cold sweat, patted her chest, and sat down cross-legged on the floor, taking some time to recover from the dream.

It wasn’t long before she realized something felt wrong with her surroundings!

“Wait, what’s going on?”

Where was she?

She should have been in her bed, sleeping soundly after waking from the dream, right?

How could she be on the floor?

Her deep brown eyes cautiously looked around, and all she saw were rows of milky-white shelves!

Could she still be dreaming?

Xie Zhizhi pinched herself.

“Ouch, that really hurt!”

She stared at her reddened arm, muttering to herself.

“So… where am I?”

She thought for a while, staring blankly at the shelves.

The more she stared, the more familiar it seemed.

The height of the shelves and their milky-white appearance… Why did it look so much like the auto-replenishing space she had imagined before bed!

As a seasoned novel fan, she had recently become obsessed with survival space novels, and the impact had been quite strong.

That could be the reason why she had such a dream.

She had been secretly imagining what it would be like if she had a space with automatic replenishment. She even wrote over a thousand words about the space in her notes before happily going to sleep.

“Could it be that ‘what one thinks during the day, one dreams about at night’… but not just a dream, it’s actually become reality?”

This was so eerie!

However, she was brave by nature and not particularly cautious, so now it was time to figure out what was going on.

At this moment, Xie Zhizhi thought about the way she had envisioned her golden-finger warehouse and, with a hint of curiosity, whispered the words “I want to go out.”

The next second, the surroundings suddenly changed.

The familiar window, curtains, the cute ornaments in her room, the Winnie the Pooh by the bedside, and the soft, familiar bed beneath her—it was really real!!

“It’s real! It’s actually real!”

“The space was real!”

Wow, how could she suppress her excitement!

On the bed, the girl jumped up excitedly, her fair face lively, though her long hair was now in a messy tangle.

After a while, she calmed down, sitting cross-legged on the bed, resting her chin on her hand and thinking.

She had dreamed of surviving a natural disaster!

And now she had gained a space!

The two factors connected, and she suddenly thought: “If I really did travel to another world, how can I ensure my safety?”

“First, let me check if that warehouse is real!”

The sky outside had just started to lighten. Xie Zhizhi got out of bed, grabbed the pink water cup from her bedside table, and whispered the words “Enter warehouse” to herself. Her heart raced with nervous excitement, and she jumped quickly!

The next second, the surroundings really did change. The big bed was gone, and she found herself standing in front of the shelves again—she was back in the warehouse!

Her entire body had fully entered this space!

She pinched her arm again. Ouch!

It wasn’t a dream!

Wuwuwu, she had succeeded!

She touched everything, examining the shelves—everything was incredibly real!

She struggled to calm her pounding heart and placed the water cup on a 60x60x60 shelf in front of her. One second later, she reached up to take the pink cup off the shelf again.

And then, a miracle happened!

Another identical cup appeared on the shelf!

“Wow, my space is amazing!! It really does auto-replenish!” Xie Zhizhi thought, recalling the settings she had imagined. Could they all come true?

She tried putting the cup back. A soft glow passed by, and the cup on the shelf perfectly aligned with the one in her hand, leaving only one cup in the grid.

She repeated the process, pulling out and putting back the cup repeatedly, playing with it for a long time. At one point, she pulled out eighty cups and then put them all back. Luckily, her strength was exceptional, or her hands would’ve gotten sore.

The conclusion: no matter how many cups she took out, putting them back always resulted in just one remaining. The stock was truly infinite!

This was amazing!

Winning a billion wouldn’t compare to her excitement at this moment!

After exiting the warehouse space, Xie Zhizhi rushed to the kitchen, took the leftover half of a fried chicken from the fridge, and put it in the oil to fry. After heating it thoroughly, she took it out and placed it on a plate.

She then entered the warehouse space again, stood in front of a shelf, and placed the fried chicken with the plate into an empty grid. After waiting for an hour, she took it out again and found that it was still hot to the touch.

Moreover, the shelf had auto-replenished, and there was now a plate with another half fried chicken on it!

“The preservation function is just as good as I imagined!”

The warm chicken leg was crispy and delicious as she took a bite, then she thought for a moment and took the fried chicken from the shelf to take another bite. It tasted just the same, even the aroma of the chicken was perfectly replicated.

She poured herself a glass of milk, added some oatmeal, and made a milk oatmeal drink to go with her fried chicken for breakfast.

“Let me first count how many shelves there are in the warehouse.” After finishing the last bone, she washed her hands and entered the space again.

Interestingly, as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she didn’t need to walk around the warehouse. She immediately got a panoramic view of the entire space!

Each shelf had five deep-set grids vertically and four horizontally, for a total of twenty available spaces for items per shelf.

The shelves along the edges, next to the walls, had twenty-two grids, and the shelves in the middle had twenty-eight. In total, there were one thousand grids.

According to her settings, if she filled all one thousand grids with different items, the warehouse would upgrade.

It would unlock additional space functions.

Xie Zhizhi had been raised by her grandfather, with no parents or other relatives. Her grandfather had passed away five years ago.

Before he passed, he left her a shop in the center of Jiang City with a monthly rent of 50,000 yuan, a 300-square-meter apartment, and five million yuan in savings.

At eighteen, she started living on her own—not wealthy, but she never had to worry about food and drink. Due to her physical strength, she avoided socializing and working, and her two main hobbies were eating good food and reading novels.

Now that she had really obtained the space, she was definitely going to stock up!

Xie Zhizhi took out her phone and checked the balance of her several bank cards.

Sitting in the living room, she quickly did the math.

From eighteen to twenty-three, five years passed. The rent she collected was 600,000 yuan per year, totaling 3 million yuan over five years. After deducting expenses like school fees, car purchase, and daily spending, plus the savings left by her grandfather, she still had 5.6 million yuan left.
