Chapter 74: Dimensional Space Upgrade! (2)

While Liu Yun was thinking, the System added, [Player, if you are urgently in need of upgrading the Dimensional Space, how about you feed some crystal cores to the Dimensional Space first?]

Liu Yun looked at the boxes of canned food filling the shelves, then at her full Dimensional Space.

She hesitated for a long time before asking, ’How many crystals do I need to upgrade the Dimensional Space?’

[5,000 Level 0 Zombie Crystal Cores, or the same amount of energy from other sources.]

The second the System’s words fell, Liu Yun fell into silence.

"..." Grass! So expensive!

Shocked by the number of crystal cores needed to upgrade the Dimensional Space, Liu Yun was speechless.

After a long moment of silence, she finally asked, ’How much would it cost to upgrade the Dimensional Space using Celestial Stones?’

[Since this is your first upgrade, the Player only needs to pay 100,000 Celestial Stones.]

Hearing the price, Liu Yun closed her eyes and forcefully stopped herself from cursing the System.

Gritting her teeth, she complained, ’System, are you sure you gave me the right price?’

[Yes.]

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she continued, ’I bought the Dimensional Space for only 10,000 Celestial Stones before, and now you want me to spend 100,000 Celestial Stones to upgrade it?’

[Yes.]

Listening to the System’s emotionless reply, Liu Yun finally exploded. ’Grass! System, why don’t you just rob people?!’

As if considering her suggestion, the System kindly said, [Player, your suggestion is enticing, but this System is a law-abiding system, so this System won’t rob people. You can rest assured.]

Liu Yun rolled her eyes, then scolded herself. ’Why did I argue with it? It’s just an annoying system!’

Ignoring the System, Liu Yun scanned the warehouse. Looking at the shelves filled with boxes of canned food, she clenched her teeth and made a difficult decision.

’Fine! Use the Celestial Stones to upgrade the Dimensional Space!’

The moment her words fell, a transparent blue screen appeared before her.

Ding!

[Upgrade the Dimensional Space: Consuming 100,000 Celestial Stones.]

[Confirm] [Cancel]

Gritting her teeth, Liu Yun raised her hand, then pressed the [Confirm] button. When she saw her Celestial Stone balance decrease by 100,000, Liu Yun felt her heart bleed.

’Ugh! My money~!’

While she was crying inwardly, notifications appeared.

Ding!

[Dimensional Space upgrade completed.]

Ding!

[Dimensional Space reached Level 2.]

Hearing this, Liu Yun quickly opened her skill list status panel. Seeing that the word below the Dimensional Space’s icon had changed from Level 1 to Level 2, she quickly clicked on it.

[Dimensional Space]

[Grade: Transcendent]

[Type: Space Element Ability]

[Level: Lv.2]

[Size: 200 square meters (Upgradable)]

[Information: A mobile storage space. Cannot store living beings. Time is static.]

[Mental Point Cost: None]

Liu Yun’s eyes widened in shock when she saw the size of her Dimensional Space.

’Heaven! The Level 2 Dimensional Space is actually 200 square meters?! This, this, this—! This is ten times larger than the Level 1 Dimensional Space!’

While she was still in shock, Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei returned. Seeing Liu Yun staring into the air in shock, their expressions turned serious.

Walking up to her, Lan Zuancheng asked in a low voice, "Younger Sister Liu, are you alright? Did something happen here while we were not around?"

Questioned by him, Liu Yun came back to her senses. Noticing their worried faces, she grinned and excitedly announced, "Elder Brothers, my space ability just leveled up!"

When Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei heard this, they were stunned for a moment, then exchanged glances. After a brief moment of surprise, the two of them looked at Liu Yun excitedly.

Staring at her eagerly, Gu Zhenwei asked, "Younger Sister Liu, how big is your space now?"

Liu Yun grinned, then whispered, "I have 200 square meters of space now!"

When she said this, not only did Gu Zhenwei lose his composure, but even Lan Zuancheng couldn’t remain calm.

"Really?!" Gu Zhenwei exclaimed in disbelief, then his eyes lit up as he grabbed Liu Yun’s hand. "Younger Sister Liu, you are really amazing!"

While Gu Zhenwei and Liu Yun were celebrating, Lan Zuancheng’s expression turned serious.

Grabbing Liu Yun’s shoulders, Lan Zuancheng stared into her eyes as he said seriously, "Younger Sister Liu, you must keep this a secret."

"Never tell anyone else about your space. Remember, you are only a Level 1 space ability user with a space of only 2 square meters."

Looking at how serious he was, Liu Yun’s smile disappeared. She swallowed, then obediently nodded. "Mhm, I know."

Getting her answer, Lan Zuancheng retracted his hands and asked, "Can you store more supplies now?"

Liu Yun nodded. "Yes. I still have 180 square meters of empty space for now."

Hearing this, Lan Zuancheng thought for a few seconds, then said, "Younger Sister Liu, there are some canned fruits and canned meats in the back area. Let’s store more fruits and meat, then leave this place."

Liu Yun blinked, then asked, "Shouldn’t we take all of the canned food in this warehouse?"

Lan Zuancheng shook his head and explained, "Besides canned food, there are also some dried vegetables and mushrooms, mineral water, military rations, and medicine stored in this warehouse area. We should take a little bit of everything just in case we need it in the future."

Listening to his words, Liu Yun realized that she had been too simple-minded and lacked experience when planning for her survival in this world.

Nodding in agreement, she said, "Elder Brother Lan is right. I will listen to you."

"Good. Come with us."

Following Lan Zuancheng and Gu Zhenwei, Liu Yun went to the back of the warehouse, where the canned fruits and canned meats were stored.

While the three of them were busy choosing which supplies to take, Lian Tianci and his team’s situation worsened.

Standing on the roof of a two-story warehouse, one of the soldiers shot at the nearest zombies climbing up the wall.

Bang! Bang!

Click! Click! Click!

Looking at the gun in his hands, he cursed, then shouted in despair, "Captain, I have run out of bullets!"
