The style of the villa complex was uniform, with each building’s exterior looking very similar.

The land area was about the same as well.

But Yu Xifeng inexplicably felt that the unit where she was staying seemed a bit smaller.

She stopped walking, thought carefully, and confirmed it wasn’t just her imagination.

The usable interior area of this villa was indeed smaller.

Yu Xifeng turned back and measured it by her own pace. When she reached a study room, she even ran out again to look at the exterior once more.

Now Yu Xifeng was certain: inside this study, there was indeed a hidden room she hadn’t found before.

She spent quite a while feeling along several walls and finally found a loose spot.

Behind it was a door embedded into the wall.

She had to admit, rich people really knew how to play.

It was a combination lock.

Yu Xifeng stared silently at the lock for a while, then took out a hammer from her space.

It’s just a door, after all. If worse comes to worst, she could just smash the wall. Let’s see how this lock could stop her.

Bang, bang, bang.

After about forty minutes, cracks appeared on the wall.

White plaster began to fall off in chunks.

Yu Xifeng wiped the sweat off her forehead, stopped to rest for a bit, and ate another rice ball.

Half an hour later, a hole just big enough for a person appeared in the wall.

Yu Xifeng squeezed through.

Inside was a secret room less than twenty square meters in size.

The moment she stepped in, Yu Xifeng was almost blinded.

The room was filled with pearls, jewels, and treasures; the space was so rich it made her heartbeat speed up.

There were antiques, calligraphy, jewelry, and gold piled up in a large corner.

It was extravagantly lavish.

She collected everything.

Yu Xifeng swept the items into her space.

A gentle, clear energy rippled through the space, quietly undergoing changes unknown to others.

Calming her pounding heart, she emptied the room. There was no reason to linger in this villa anymore.

This time, she hadn’t managed to grab two chickens like last time.

The chickens in the space ate bran and millet, which she had gathered from the farmhouse for cheap.

They drank spring water that flowed from the hillside down to the backyard — endless and inexhaustible.

The makeshift chicken coop wasn’t very sturdy, so the chickens would occasionally escape.

Once Yu Xifeng caught them pecking at sweet potato vines in a flower bed, which made her very angry.

When she returned this time, she planned to reinforce the coop with the nylon rope she had collected.

The eggs were collected, but the chickens would move around.

Sometimes they wandered out to the wild mountains.

Every time Yu Xifeng entered the space, she could find eggs in many unexpected places.

Yu Xifeng hadn’t returned to the complex for two consecutive days.

She had been gone for three days. Yang Rong’s whole family was staring at her door, having tried more than once to pry it open.

Unfortunately, Yu Xifeng’s door was custom-made: not only was it sturdy, but without the special key, even locksmiths could only remove the door by dismantling it.

Yang Rong’s family was starving and weak; they neither had the ability nor the strength, so all they could do was glare at the door.

Xu Qingrou approached Aunt Liu.

She hinted that Yu Xifeng was living it up inside, eating well and enjoying herself, while keeping her parents and siblings locked outside in the cold.

The weather was getting colder, and her brother had gotten sick from the cold; Yu Xifeng clearly had medicine but refused to share it.

Aunt Liu agreed — people like that deserved to be struck by thunder from the sky.

Xu Qingrou revealed that Yu Xifeng’s family had plenty of grain stored; if disaster really struck, it would be their own fault.

Who told her to bar her own family from entering?

Aunt Liu’s eyes darted around.

That Yu girl wasn’t home, and the front door was hard to get through — but weren’t there windows?

The neighboring villa housed Aunt Liu’s nephew.

Though his hands weren’t clean, he was careful and had never been caught.

Before, when Old Lady Zhao was robbed, Aunt Liu had passed on information about the house’s layout to her nephew.

The two elderly people had only one daughter who took all kinds of tutoring classes growing up, did well in school, and could earn money. She bought the house, hired a nanny, and stacked up all kinds of health supplements like a mountain.

Aunt Liu always felt uneasy about this.

Why should the childless head live better than her?

Girls like that couldn’t keep a family. That Yu Xifeng wasn’t a decent person — even her biological father didn’t get filial respect.

She was just acting on heaven’s behalf.

Sure enough, Aunt Liu’s nephew, Liu Yuan, took this to heart as soon as he heard it.

His house was just diagonally below Yu Xifeng’s. By climbing along the air conditioning units and being careful, it should definitely work.

As for the security grilles — they looked solid, but to a pair of pliers, they were like paper.

No one was home at Yu Xifeng’s — a godsend opportunity.

Liu Yuan acted that very night.

On such a high floor, under the cover of darkness, Liu Yuan quietly climbed outside Yu Xifeng’s window.

All of this was caught on surveillance.

Yu Xifeng had already scavenged the entire villa complex; wherever she went, nothing was left behind.

In a way, she and Liu Yuan were doing the same thing.

In the post-apocalyptic world, there were no laws or morals — in many places, the strong ruled.

If someone could smash tempered glass, that was their skill.

Even if they broke it, they might as well carry off the bed frames or tables and chairs.

Well, she could just replace it with the new villa set she had recently collected.

Yu Xifeng just glanced at her phone and didn’t bother further.

She continued wandering around the villa complex according to her original plan.

She even stored four high-performance sports cars in her space and placed them on the wild mountain. The keys were in a cabinet in the living room; she tried them one by one.

She also found a basement.

Nobody knew who had dug the basement, but inside were lots of compressed biscuits, various canned meats, fruits, and even several large boxes of drinking water.

It was probably prepared by someone just in case. When the heavy rains came, they didn’t return here but moved elsewhere.

Yu Xifeng took everything.

Deep in the basement, unsurprisingly, she found many precious jewels and gold.

Whoever could dig a basement under the villa cluster must be quite wealthy.

Yu Xifeng looked twice.

The truly good stuff, once placed into the space, disappeared; what was left for her was either fake or inferior.

A familiar white glow flashed by — the gold she collected still stayed firmly in place, without any change.

With too many valuables, the space no longer accepted gold.

Yu Xifeng felt a bit annoyed.

The gold she had gotten from the jewelry store before, though useless in effect, the space had still accepted.

If it could accept it, it meant it was somewhat useful to the space.

But now, gold was completely useless to the space.

Where was she going to find those old items to satisfy her increasingly picky space?

There was no more profit to squeeze out of this villa cluster.

Yu Xifeng had been out for several days — her harvest wasn’t small.

The space’s upgrade required accumulation and waiting for a tipping point.

As for the gold, since the space couldn’t use it, she kept it for herself. Later, she could trade it with others.
