Chapter 556: Chapter 556

Jing Shu never understood why she was knocked unconscious every time the Magic Cube Space upgraded. Even if it was a system update, couldn’t it update online? Why force an offline interruption? It delayed so many of her tasks, especially when this was prime time to collect as much as possible.

However, Jing Shu quickly figured it out. The Magic Cube upgrade was like a Doctor administering anesthesia before surgery—opening your skull, inserting something, and then you’d wake up dazed after the upgrade was done.

If no anesthesia were used and they simply stuffed things in, she’d probably die of pain.

As her consciousness grew increasingly scattered, Jing Shu’s headache intensified, and large beads of sweat began to form. It felt as if millions of insects were gnawing at her brain. This pain surpassed any she had experienced before!

Jing Shu glanced with satisfaction at the cubic meter of black liquid already in the space and smiled. Then, she could no longer concern herself with collecting the black liquid. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted instantly, falling into the filthy mud, which soon soaked her entirely.

Unbeknownst to Jing Shu, a monumental event was occurring at this very moment!

The army of insects, tethered by the silk tied to her hand, were still continuously falling into the black liquid. They had completely lost connection with their owner and, naturally, were no longer transporting black liquid to the space.

Moreover, logically, without Jing Shu’s command, it should have been impossible to put anything else into the space. However, at this moment, the space was humming loudly, emitting joyous cheers. As the silk fell into the black liquid, the liquid visibly began to disappear! Earlier, when Jing Shu had tried to collect this black liquid into the space, she hadn’t succeeded! After she lost consciousness, the space started absorbing the black liquid on its own!

At the same time, the black hole also emitted a screaming roar. All living beings in the Tianshan Mountain Range were plunged into deep fear, especially Xiao Wei’s Abdominal Foot Worms. They trembled and huddled next to Xiao Wei; even Xiao Wei felt uneasy. She didn’t know what was happening, only that a voice, both angry and terrified, kept resonating in her ears. It sounded as if it were being tortured, emitting tragic cries.

This bizarre sound almost vibrated the recently fed insects to death. This sound, at a frequency inaudible to humans, meant humans were unaware of the anomaly occurring in the black hole. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

In fact, when we pull an eggplant from its plant, it supposedly screams 37 times, but the frequency it emits is beyond our hearing—we’re simply not on the same channel. This is also a war between dimensions. Just as ants in two-dimensional space can never fight against humans in three-dimensional space, the levels and hierarchies are not the same. Of course, under normal circumstances, different Dimension Spaces do not interfere with each other, but since the apocalypse arrived, Dimension Space has been thrown into complete chaos. The red liquid Jing Shu once encountered was a product of four-dimensional space; who knows what dimension this black liquid is from? The beings in the black hole were like fat lambs, being ruthlessly torn apart by the hungry wolf that was the Magic Cube Space. Only after it let out a satisfied belch did everything return to calm...

The earth trembled even more violently. The black hole seemed to roar; it was furious that most of the resources it had painstakingly collected for over half a year had been snatched away in the blink of an eye!

The entire Tianshan Mountain Range began to shake, its continuous ridges and peaks devouring all surrounding life even more rampantly! The tectonic plate movements intensified, making Ga Mountain Valley, which was precariously wedged in a corner, dangerously close to being toppled to its demise and swallowed whole.

And Jing Shu, the instigator of all this, knew nothing; she was completely unconscious this time.

Normally, when the Magic Cube Space upgraded, it would only take a few hours, and she would wake up. But this time, perhaps because it had absorbed too much black liquid, Jing Shu, in her comatose state, felt an excruciating headache, as if a hammer were constantly pounding her head. The Magic Cube Space kept operating wildly. And so, Jing Shu lay in the cold mud for two whole days, completely unconscious.

It wasn’t until Fat Chicken brought Li Dayou and his group to find Jing Shu that they carried her back to the boat.

"Damn, my head hurts so bad..." Jing Shu was jolted awake by the pain. Her eyelids felt too heavy to lift. She struggled to open them a sliver and saw she was lying in a tent on the boat. Okay, still safe.

The Fat Chicken, standing guard outside the tent, CLUCKED, summoning the others.

Jing Shu, who was always meticulous about cleanliness, now found her cotton clothes and undergarments caked with hard mud. She felt extremely uncomfortable. Even the tent was full of dirt, as if she had been lying in a mud pit.

"So sleepy... It’s like I haven’t slept for days." Jing Shu finally managed to sit up. She pulled out her phone to check the time. I’ve been lying here for two whole days? Then why am I still so exhausted? An overwhelming tiredness swept over her. If it weren’t for my thoughts about the space, I would have fallen asleep long ago.

She had been eagerly anticipating what the upgraded Magic Cube Space would look like. Just then, Wang Dan hurried over with hot water, complaining, "Really! How could you faint in such a dangerous place? If we hadn’t arrived in time, you would have been swept away before we could find you! You have no idea, this place suddenly went crazy. The waves expanded abruptly, and now our safe area is only a few hundred meters wide, and it’s still shrinking. I don’t even know if we can hold out for rescue, sigh..."

After drinking some water, Jing Shu couldn’t fight it any longer and fell asleep again. Fat Chicken remained a faithful bodyguard, constantly watching over her.

Jing Shu had the will but lacked the strength. She didn’t know what kind of strange transformation her body was undergoing to make her so tired. It was very likely caused by this space upgrade. Could it be a new ability?

She slept for another three or four days. When Jing Shu woke up again, she found herself lying in a luxurious minibus, still feeling extremely sleepy.

"What the heck is going on?" Jing Shu was shocked to realize that after all this time, she didn’t feel hungry. Instead, she felt quite full. Considering her usual trait of eating a lot and getting hungry easily, this was definitely not normal.

Despite her drowsiness, Jing Shu forced herself to open the upgraded Magic Cube Space.

The moment she did, she felt as if she had stepped into another world. Her Magic Cube Space had undergone a dramatic transformation!

"This is... the third form of the Magic Cube Space! This is the new Tier 9 Magic Cube, with 9x9x9, for a total of 729 cubic meters of space! That’s 217 cubic meters more than before!"

Overwhelmed by excitement, Jing Shu fell asleep yet again.

When she woke up this time, Jing Shu was determined to thoroughly explore her new Magic Cube!
