Chapter 1: Sky-High Inheritance and Dimensional Space

Lin Xiaodou struck it rich overnight.

Just half an hour ago.

A guy claiming to be a lawyer showed up at her door, saying she had a sky-high inheritance to claim.

Freshly graduated from veterinary university, Lin Xiaodou quickly checked her phone balance.

169.47 yuan.

Phew!

Thank goodness, her money was still there.

Scammers these days were getting bolder—even daring to come to the door.

Luckily, she had just paid the rent yesterday and recharged a month’s worth of meal credit at the fast-food shop downstairs.

The money in her phone was reserved for taking the bus while job hunting.

With so little cash, they probably wouldn’t even bother with her.

Still, she couldn’t drive the guy away too forcefully—what if he got angry?

Lin Xiaodou held up her phone to show him her balance page and kindly advised:

“Big brother, you’ve got the wrong place.

The upscale neighborhood is next door. Lots of rich folks live there—you should try there instead.”

The bespectacled man smiled with unusual persistence.

“No, Miss Lin. You’re exactly the person I’m looking for.”

Lin Xiaodou shivered all over.

It’s over! It’s over!

Could this guy not be after money, but after her instead??

If she’d known, she wouldn’t have opened the door—she just let the wolf in!

She quickly tucked her phone away.

“You said I had an inheritance to claim just now, but my parents were both orphans, and they’ve already passed away. Where’s this inheritance coming from?”

Best to keep him calm for now and secretly call the police.

“It’s like this. Your mother’s younger uncle’s grandfather’s third aunt’s nephew has passed away. After extensive searching, we confirmed that you’re the sole heir to his estate.”

Lin Xiaodou’s mouth twitched.

This scammer looked pretty sharp—why did he say something so dumb?

Did he think she’d fall for such a clumsy scam?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Seeing her skepticism, the lawyer opened a folder and handed her a document:

“This is the inheritance agreement. Just sign here, and all of Mr. He’s assets will immediately be transferred to your account.”

Lin Xiaodou craned her neck to peek out of curiosity.

But when her eyes landed on the total assets written in the agreement, her pupils shrank.

Oh my god! What did she just see?!

So many zeroes!!

“I’m Lawyer Zhang from Huiteng Legal. Here’s my card—you can look it up online. I assure you, everything’s legitimate.”

As he spoke, Lawyer Zhang handed over his business card.

Lin Xiaodou took the card and looked him up online.

He really did exist!

A top-tier lawyer from one of the most prestigious law firms in the country!

His real-life appearance matched the photo online perfectly!

Her heart started pounding wildly.

She stammered, lips trembling:

“I just have to sign… and it’s mine?”

Lawyer Zhang smiled faintly.

“Just sign, and it’s yours.”

Ten minutes later.

Ding!

A message notification popped up on her phone.

[Account ending in 3068 received a deposit on December 6th:
10,000,000,000.00 yuan. New balance: 10,000,000,169.47 yuan (xx Bank).]

(Disclaimer: This is purely fictional, for entertainment purposes only~)

Staring at the message, Lin Xiaodou completely lost it.

Aaaahhh!

Ten billion!!

Lin Xiaodou had just become a billionaire overnight!!!

After sending Lawyer Zhang off, Lin Xiaodou was beside herself with excitement.

One moment she clutched her head and screamed, the next she was pounding the wall and laughing like a lunatic.

It wasn’t until a neighbor knocked on the wall that she finally quieted down.

“So much money, so much money, so much money! I couldn’t finish spending it in ten lifetimes! This is too awesome—hahaha!”

Lin Xiaodou hid under the covers, staring at the balance on her phone, laughing maniacally.

No matter what she did next, she kept glancing at the balance on her phone while doing it.

And tragically, she accidentally cut her hand while chopping vegetables.

“Hiss—”

Blood immediately welled up from her fingertip.

Lin Xiaodou quickly lowered her head and sucked on the wound.

As she raised her hand again, a drop of blood fell onto the jade pendant hanging around her neck—and was instantly absorbed.

The next second, Lin Xiaodou found herself in an unfamiliar place.

Before her stretched endless green meadows and a crystal-clear lake.

In the distance stood rows of ancient stone houses.

At the center was a delicate little wooden cabin, serene and peaceful.

(The AI illustration from Tomato platform is just for fun~)

Lin Xiaodou stared in shock at everything before her.

It took her a full ten minutes to calm her restless mind.

She really hadn’t expected this.

A spatial dimension—something that only existed in novels—had actually happened to her!

Even the unbelievable hundred-billion inheritance had already come true.

Could it be that she was the chosen heroine sent to save the world?

Lin Xiaodou grinned foolishly.

What young person hasn’t had a chuunibyou dream of saving the world?

If it really came true, she’d be a celebrated hero, admired by all!

Since that was the case, she had to make some plans.

Lin Xiaodou exited the space, pumped and ready to act.

Then she saw several pitch-black little mice scurrying out in a line.

“Dahei, Erhei, Sanhei, Sihei, Wuhei—where are you all going?”

Lin Xiaodou had always had an incredible affinity with animals—they loved her.

When she was twelve, her parents had taken her on a self-driving trip, and they got into a car accident.

Her parents died on the spot. She survived, but accidentally awakened an ability that let her communicate with animals.

This bizarre ability was something she never told anyone—for fear of being dragged to a lab and dissected.

After her parents passed away, she was sent to an orphanage.

Through hard work and part-time jobs, she finally got into college.

She chose veterinary medicine so she could fully utilize her ability.

She had just graduated and was preparing to job hunt, only to be hit by these wild surprises.

The mice in her house were quite familiar with her. She often gave them leftover food.

“Squeak squeak squeak~”

The leading mouse, Dahei, stood upright and anxiously scratched its ears with both paws.

Lin Xiaodou understood right away.

“You’re saying… something big might be about to happen, so you’re moving away?”

“Squeak squeak squeak~”

The little mice all nodded, then bowed to her before leaving.

Lin Xiaodou was stunned for a couple of seconds.

Then something clicked in her mind—her brain buzzed.

Rodents, being burrowing animals, were highly sensitive to impending disasters.

They must have sensed something, which was why they were fleeing.

And the news from a few days ago had mentioned a meteor set to hit Earth soon…

Lin Xiaodou’s sudden wealth and acquisition of a space—it was all a warning.

Based on the countless novels she’d read, it was highly likely that the apocalypse was coming.

If that were true, who cared about saving the world? Survival was the priority!

With a jolt, Lin Xiaodou hurriedly grabbed her phone and began searching.

[If the apocalypse comes, what should you do first?]

The top result showed two big words:

Stock up!!!

Author’s Note (Ming Yue Shi):
To all the fated readers who clicked on this book, I hope you get rich just like the heroine.

This is a time-travel novel where the female lead, armed with divine power, ruthlessly crushes scumbags while leading a group of friends to eat melons and travel through various eras.

It’s funny, exhilarating, and utterly illogical—so go easy on the critique.
