Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 416 - 416 416 Space Upgraded for the Second Time
Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Space Upgraded for the Second Time Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Space Upgraded for the Second Time “That’s called sparring, not fighting. I’m actually planning to get other departments involved too,”
Liao Yifan said, already making plans.
Though Lian Jiyue sat silently at the dining table, devouring one white shrimp after another, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively and harmonious.
After the meal, Lu Hao prepared to take Lian Jiyue to the guest house to rest, but to his surprise, Lian Jiyue followed him back and once again seated himself next to Mao Qiqi.
In the end, Lian Jiyue successfully stayed on the top floor of the main residence, probably because it was closest to Mao Qiqi’s room, and he seemed to particularly like the balcony there.
Within the Wood Spirit Space, Lin Yunguo saw that so many dishes vanished from his kitchen rack in an instant and nodded in satisfaction. Now that Xiao Jin and the others were back, they should eat well.
And Su Jin discovered that the herbs planted in the Space last time had matured enough to be harvested. However, since she didn’t plant many last time, she intended to plant more this time, save them up, and then sell them to the Base Hospital.
“Xiao Jin, I know now. The herbs we planted last time were all for clearing heat and detoxification. This one is Rhizoma Picrorhizae, and this one is Forsythia,”
During this time, Lin Tianzhen had also researched a lot about medicinal herbs in the Space, so she recognized all of these herbs.
“Clearing heat and detoxification is really useful. Our hospital consumes the most of these types of Chinese medicine. Xiao Jin, we can plant more of them,”
Lin Tianhui also suggested after hearing this.
“Okay, thank you Aunt Tianhui. Without you, I wouldn’t even know what these are,”
Su Jin felt that the subtle and silent help her family had given her was truly plentiful, and they had never been a burden to her. Having such a family, she was indeed luckier than many others.
After planting new herbs on all the available land, Su Jin announced an important matter to everyone: she was going to upgrade the Wood Spirit Space!
The family, upon hearing this, all gathered in the courtyard of the Lu Residence. They hadn’t witnessed the last Space upgrade, and this time they definitely wanted to witness it together. The only question was how many Crystal Cores would be needed for the upgrade.
“Don’t worry, we still have a lot of Crystal Cores. The last upgrade using Beast Cores was only about ten thousand,”
Su Jin said calmly.
Nie Qing seemed to have something to say, but he did not speak; instead, he waited with the rest for Su Jin.
Su Jin boldly took out ten thousand Crystal Cores from her storage bag.
Soon, the ten thousand Crystal Cores disappeared into glittering specks in the air as everyone watched.
“Eh? It seems like there’s no reaction?”
Lin Xiuyuan looked around, wondering if ten thousand cores were not enough.
“Xiao Jin, try another ten thousand. We still have a lot of Crystal Cores,” Lu Hao said to comfort her.
The principle that the higher you go, the harder it is to upgrade, seemed not only applicable to Special Ability Users’ promotion.
Su Jin bit her lip and nodded, then took out another ten thousand.
It should upgrade now, right?
However, aside from the distant fog in the Wood Spirit Space retreating quite a bit, there was still no reaction…
“Daughter-in-law, don’t worry. How about we try with another five thousand?”
Lu Guanhai said. Could it be that the Space won’t upgrade anymore? He really didn’t know why their Space would behave like this.
“Mmm… We can always earn more Crystal Cores, but the Space definitely needs to be upgraded,”
Su Jin said, noting that there were still 140,000 Crystal Cores in her storage bag. Those cores were almost useless to them at the base, so they could only be used in the Space. With that in mind, she took out thirty thousand Crystal Cores in one go.
“Wow, so beautiful,”
Mao Qiqi admired as she watched the white specks shimmer. Zombie brains could turn into something so pretty, huh.
“It’s beautiful, but why is the Space still not responding?”
Li Xiuying was also getting anxious; they were already at fifty thousand Crystal Cores.
“Girl, this is normal, the bigger the Space, the more Spiritual Power it needs to upgrade, although last time it was less than ten thousand Beast Cores, this time it could be ten times or even more,”
Nie Qing finally shared her thoughts.
Ten times?!
Everyone took a sharp intake of breath. Was that for real?!
Su Jin could no longer stay calm, but she still followed Nie Qing’s advice and began to slowly take out more Crystal Cores until she reached the one hundred and twentieth thousand Crystal Core. Then, at last, the Space began to move!
A surge of Spiritual Power waves was felt by everyone present, as if something had been unlocked.
The Space’s Jade slip automatically flew towards Su Jin and hovered in the air in front of her forehead.
A bright light flashed, and Su Jin closed her eyes.
After the Space upgraded, the area of the Space increased, the Spirit Fields multiplied accordingly, and the Lu Residence would go from one level to two levels. Additionally, the Space owner could now see a certain range outside while inside the Space, meaning that even if she were inside the Space, she could use her will to check on the situation near the location she entered the Space from.
If the previous changes made Su Jin feel normal, the new feature of viewing the outside from within the Space was an absolute delight.
From now on, even if she entered the Space, she wouldn’t have to worry about someone suddenly looking for her on the outside; this greatly increased the Space’s safety.
While Su Jin was receiving information emitted by the Jade slip, the family was astonished by the changes in the Space.
How did the Lu Residence become two levels?!
“And look, there are so many more Spirit Fields!”
Lu Guanhai also came running excitedly from outside the courtyard, the Space had gotten much bigger!
By this time, the Jade slip had fallen into Su Jin’s hands, and she smiled while telling everyone about the Space’s new functions.
“We can see the outside now?”
Su Xiangzhe asked joyfully.
“Yes, I just tried it, I can see from our room to the door outside,”
Su Jin answered with a smile.
“Hmm, this is much safer,”
Lu Hao was very satisfied; he felt that the one hundred and twenty thousand Crystal Cores were indeed worth it.
“The Lu Residence can also hold more things now,”
Mao Zhihang said as he came down from touring the second floor of the Lu Residence, where the interior was the same as when they had first entered the Space.
Seeing the significantly enlarged Spirit Fields outside, Su Jin, back to square one, smiled wryly; it looked like they would have to start farming again…

Consequently, when Su Jin and Lu Hao went to find Liang Jiuhui the next day, aside from retrieving the Crystal Core rewards for their mission, they also made a request.
“You want to open a Heart Talk Branch at the base?”
Liang Jiuhui asked in surprise.
“Yes, the Heart Talk Store is in the villa area, which is far from many places, and Guo Yang had been wanting to open another one,”
Su Jin replied with a smile, in reality, they were looking to expend more of the Space’s resources in exchange for more Crystal Cores.
According to Nie Qing, the next Space upgrade might need ten or even twenty times the number of Crystal Cores as this time, meaning that the next upgrade could potentially require a million or even two million Crystal Cores.
This Wood Spirit Space is truly a bottomless pit for consuming Crystal Cores!!
