Chapter 58: Is This Considered a Superpower?

An Nan didn’t bother with Fugui anymore and wandered around the manor herself.

The villa—no change.

The lawn—no change.

The herb field—no change.

The pond—no change.

…

She scrutinized every corner, not missing a single detail, but found absolutely nothing.

So where exactly did this space upgrade?

She’d just swallowed a top-quality piece of jade, and yet there wasn’t a single change?

That can’t be right!

Unwilling to give up, An Nan took another lap around, but still found nothing different.

So she checked her herb field—growth looked decent—then took the dog and exited the space.

The next second, she and the dog were standing on the coffee table in apartment 1402.

Fugui happened to be near the edge of the table, and with a slight movement, tumbled off and landed on the floor.

“Awwoo! Awwooooo!!”

An Nan couldn’t understand the barking, but she could tell Fugui was cursing up a storm.

She glanced down at her feet. What was going on?

Hadn’t they entered the space while sitting on the sofa? Why were they standing on the coffee table when they came out?

They’d moved a whole meter!

An Nan’s face was full of confusion. She flashed into the space again, then came out.

Whoa! She’d moved forward another meter! This time, she was standing on the open floor between the coffee table and the TV.

She experimented several more times, growing more and more excited.

She finally figured out what had upgraded in her space!

It was the exit location!

An Nan went in and out of the space multiple times and finally figured out the rule—if she didn’t consciously control it, she’d automatically appear one meter ahead of her original position when exiting the space.

But if she focused and used her mind to control it, she could still exit at her original spot.

She could even control the distance—thirty centimeters, eighty centimeters… as long as it didn’t exceed one meter, it worked.

…Isn’t this basically teleportation?!

No wonder, back at the Taiyu Building, she’d entered the space from the stair landing but exited directly onto the steps.

And that time on the mountain, facing the wild boar, she’d exited the space and ended up riding on the boar’s back.

Turns out, her space had already upgraded back then.

The last few raw stones she’d collected at the stone gambling market hadn’t expanded her space, but they weren’t useless either.

It’s just that the entry/exit distance had only increased by about thirty centimeters—not much longer than her own foot—so she hadn’t noticed.

This time, the jade she bought at the market was high quality, and the distance jumped to a full meter, which finally made her notice.

An Nan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly: Good deeds really do get rewarded!

If she hadn’t lent the inflatable boat to Zhao Ping’an and Chu Peipei, she wouldn’t have gotten so much crocodile meat.

Without all that extra crocodile meat, she wouldn’t have thought to trade for fertilizer at the market.

And that jade was basically a freebie.

An Nan did some quick and dirty math: I lent out one inflatable boat and unlocked the superpower of teleportation.

She was still basking in her happiness when a sudden thought struck her.

Heart pounding, she went to the wall between the living room and the bedroom, and entered the space.

When she came out, sure enough, she was standing in the bedroom.

!!!

How is this any different from walking through walls?!

As long as the wall wasn’t thicker than a meter, she could just “bug” her way through—enter the space on one side, exit on the other, and walk right through.

An Nan was so excited she could barely breathe.

In her previous life, she’d only used the space as a storage room and emergency shelter, never imagining it could upgrade and unlock such a fantastic function.

One-meter teleportation, walking through walls…

If she used this in a fight, at most people would think she’d awakened some kind of superpower—who would guess she was using a portable space?

She used to worry that she could only stay in the space for a short time each day.

Like that time with the wild boar—she could only hide in the space for an hour at most. If the enemy waited longer than that, she’d have to come out and face the danger.

But now, it was different.

She could just enter the space, then silently exit somewhere else—like behind her enemy.

Instant counterattack, just like that.

An Nan was so thrilled she almost screamed.

Fugui was dumbfounded too.

He shrank into a corner of the living room, watching his owner flash all over the place.

If you added some flickering lights and a white dress, it’d be a full-on ghost movie scene!

After all the excitement, An Nan collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted, her mind racing.

The current entry/exit distance was one meter. If she kept collecting jade, could she increase that distance even more?

How far could it go?

Five meters? Ten meters? A hundred meters?

Surely she couldn’t just pop out of the space and find herself in another country, right?

An Nan stroked her chin, deep in thought.

Probably not. Most likely, it’d be like the space’s area—once it reached a certain level, it would stop upgrading.

Even having a one-meter range was more than enough for her. She couldn’t even imagine how much happier her life would be if it upgraded further.

At this moment, she felt even more confident about her future.

That night, An Nan slept especially well.

The next morning, Chu Peipei had just gotten up when she heard a knock at the door.

She opened it to find An Nan standing outside, looking radiant.

“Peipei-jie! Good morning!”

Chu Peipei stared at her glowing face, utterly surprised.

What happened? She’d never seen An Nan this happy before.

“Morning, An Nan. You look great today!”

Of course, An Nan wasn’t about to tell Chu Peipei about the space.

She blinked and said breezily, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just had a spring dream last night, so I feel especially refreshed today.”

…

Chu Peipei looked at her, face full of disbelief.

Did you just say something that bold?!

An Nan remained perfectly calm. “Are you ready? If you’re packed, let’s head out.”

Chu Peipei nodded blankly, and An Nan immediately went upstairs to call Zhao Ping’an.

Time to go! Let’s see if there’s any more jade at the market. An Nan was really looking forward to today’s trip.

As the three of them went downstairs, they passed by Chu Peipei’s old apartment on the 13th floor and took a look.

Sure enough, the door had been forced open, and the place was ransacked.

Chu Peipei shuddered. Thank goodness she’d listened to An Nan and moved up to the 14th floor ahead of time.

…

Today, An Nan was once again driving the inflatable boat, loaded to the brim with crocodile meat.

Zhao Ping’an sat on the boat, watching An Nan’s expression, and asked Chu Peipei beside him, “Did you two eat something good last night without me? An Nan seems to be in a really good mood today!”

Chu Peipei’s face turned bright red. “Hey, you big guy, don’t ask what you shouldn’t!”

How was she supposed to answer? Say that An Nan had an unspeakable dream last night?

So embarrassing!

Zhao Ping’an was baffled: What’s not to ask?

An Nan was usually someone who kept her emotions hidden, rarely showing her mood so openly.

But this was teleportation! Walking through walls! How was this any different from Wang Duoyu suddenly inheriting thirty billion?

Thirty billion is just paper now—could it buy me a superpower?

She was already being low-key by just smiling a little more than usual!

But seeing Zhao Ping’an’s curiosity, she grinned and explained, “It’s nothing. I just dreamed last night that five handsome guys with eight-pack abs showed up at my house.”

Zhao Ping’an: …

Wow, I never knew you were so… bold!

Chu Peipei: I told you not to ask!"
