She was constantly exploring the concept of Dinsion Space, always believing that everything in the world could be explained by science. If it couldn’t be explained, it simply ant that current technology had not yet reached the level required to do so.
The first phase of the third mission involved the Monk burning his arms to obtain the cauldron; he received ninety percent of the Contribution Value, while the rest was evenly divided among everyone else. The second phase took place at Rhein Manor, where the Contribution Value for obtaining the recipe was divided evenly among everyone, including the priest, Little Black, and the Monk.
As for resources, even without the priest and Little Black, the Contribution Value from auctions, submissions, and other sources would also be evenly distributed among everyone.
"For the final mission, everyone’s Contribution Value can be divided according to this ratio after we return to the country and it’s evaluated by our superiors. The previous resources have also been distributed, so now we just need to settle our individual debts."
As he spoke, Yang Yang’s gaze turned towards Jing Shu, a headache brewing. How would the leadership view this bill once it was submitted? What had happened to all the Contribution Value? Spent on als? On cigarettes? On enjoying life?
Having embarked on so many missions, Jing Shu was the only one among them who had turned the routine accumulation of Contribution Value into a mobile general store, providing comprehensive and capable logistical support. Everyone had to spend tens, hundreds, or even thousands of Contribution Value at her "store" every day.
Jing Shu had dicine, food, and various daily necessities. She was essentially a walking store, able to et anyone’s needs during any crisis.
She always brought Fat Chicken along, as well as scallions, lettuce, and cilantro grown in a huge bundle on her back. If needed, she could whip up egg fried rice, seafood egg custard, or even a pack of large-bone broth instant noodles for 50 Contribution Value, with an added egg for another 50 Contribution Value.
Later, Jing Shu also introduced discounted als, like a Malatang for 88 Contribution Value that wasn’t too numbing, spicy, or hot, but was incredibly delicious and unforgettable. She also offered side dishes like roasted ham and air-dried shredded beef—she had everything imaginable.
Of course, you could also choose not to order specific dishes and instead pay 128 for a daily al plan or 648 for a weekly one. You’d eat whatever Jing Shu ate, and she guaranteed you’d be full. Picky eaters like Zhen Nantian and Lingling opted for the 648 al plan, enjoying savory and spicy dishes with Jing Shu. They had three different als a day, with at, vegetables, and soup; she was skilled in frying, deep-frying, boiling, and stewing! The als were nutritious and well-balanced, even making Lingling look more radiant.
Jing Shu didn’t just cover als; she catered to almost every aspect of life. If you ran out of clothes, blankets, or toilet paper, felt cold, hot, or uncomfortable, or craved a cigarette, alcohol, or coffee—as long as you had a need and Contribution Value, you could enjoy her "lifestyle package." It wasn’t 998, not 338, but just 199 Contribution Value. Plus, there was a special offer: pay 1,000 and get an extra 100.
Yang Yang tapped the tabletop, another headache forming as he looked at the list of figures next to Zhen Nantian’s na: -648, -199, -1,000 100. If the leadership asked about these peculiar numbers, how was he supposed to respond? That the squad was running a special promotion: spend 1,000, get 100 free? Hm?
Finally, Yang Yang managed to get past his headache and said, "Mirror, excluding the Contribution Value from the third mission, your current Contribution Value is 28,000. If you reach over 30,000, you can apply for the Elite title, which ans direct promotion to A-rank."
"After we return this ti, the country will give you a new evaluation. But I want to ask you: do you want a higher score, or just an average one?"
Jing Shu glanced at Zhen Nantian, who nodded slightly. It seed Zhen Nantian had told Yang Yang about the possibility of her possessing Dinsion Space items.
The others showed no unusual expressions, likely aning they were unaware, not even knowing about Dinsion Space. So, Yang Yang knows about Dinsion Space, and it’s possible he has Dinsion Space items too? Otherwise, how could he have been rated A ? Jing Shu couldn’t think of any other ability Yang Yang possessed that would warrant such a high rating.
Yang Yang’s aning was simple: did she want to continue keeping her abilities a secret, or reveal her strength to everyone and receive a high rating?
After thinking it over, Jing Shu realized she didn’t understand this "dinsion" concept well. However, if the price was exposing her space, she’d rather not understand anything at all. In my view, whether it’s Zhen Nantian, Yang Yang, or even the opening to the fourth dinsion, none of them seem particularly heaven-defying, at least not compared to my Magic Cube Space. Therefore, it’s better for my Magic Cube, being so unique, to remain quiet and maintain an air of mystery.
"Let’s just go with that. Base it on what the country already knows about ." This ant Jing Shu wouldn’t excessively display her abilities.
Yang Yang nodded. "Alright. Then, once the Contribution Value from this mission is tallied and your evaluation is added, I think your rating will be around A- or A. You’ve reached the standard for a national-level elite."
Afterward, Yang Yang began to settle accounts and summarize for each person. Even the stoic Zhen Nantian, who spent Contribution Value like water, had a surplus of tens of thousands. This didn’t even include the unsettled Contribution Value from the third mission; everyone had truly profited handsoly this ti.
Jing Shu closed her eyes and continued organizing the items obtained from the third mission. She had acquired so many things from Rhein Manor that her space was now full. Jing Shu had to ticulously arrange everything to maximize storage, and after she finished, a few cubic ters were freed up.
Jing Shu was quite happy. She looked at the over 500 cubic ters of space, neatly packed to the brim with various energy sources, gourt food, grain, and live Dostic Poultry—creatures from the sea and land. Although the variety was still limited, for Jing Shu, who had survived on rotten food in her previous life in this resource-scarce world, this was already very satisfying.
Next, she planned to expand the variety of species as much as possible, collecting all the delicious creatures that flew in the sky. She would also prepare the necessary resources for the harsh environnt that was fast approaching.
「...」
At last, they arrived at the Imperial Capital! The mont the plane landed, Jing Shu patted her chest. Safe at last, finally safe. Motherland, we’re back! We no longer have to endure coercion from the United States!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The familiar pattern, the familiar sound; the Imperial Capital still experienced its daily "triple tremor," accompanied by roaring thunder and flashing lightning.
The complex terrain ant Huaxia endured more disasters than other countries, but the ingenious Huaxia people had already begun to find patterns in the earthquakes.
"First, let’s send Hao Yunlai, Monkey, and the Monk to the Governnt Hospital. We’ll rest for two days. During that ti, we’ll report to the Imperial Capital’s special intelligence departnt for re-evaluation, and then we’ll return to Wu City."
That was the plan, but its implentation differed. Jing Shu first called her family, telling them she would be ho in a few days. Then, she finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep. She slept for two whole days. The prolonged tension had taken its toll, and once back in the Imperial Capital, Jing Shu could no longer hold on and finally got so proper rest.
When she woke up, she found a group of people in white coats playing "Fight the Landlord" in front of her, while Fat Chicken protectively stood behind her like a mother hen.
Jing Shu looked at her surroundings. Yes, I’m on Qian Duoduo’s plane.
