Starting with Five Billion

Li Wanyun could barely keep herself from laughing.

Li Jianli had transferred the money to her that day, and that old hag had immediately called to threaten her, demanding she sign the papers, hand over the company, and get lost.

Li Wanyun hadn't hesitated in the slightest. She signed on the spot.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious. In twenty-one days, the shares and the company will all be worthless. Why would I drag things out and refuse to hand them over? What's the point?" Clutching several bank cards, Li Wanyun collapsed onto the bed laughing.

She couldn't wait to see the regret on that family's faces in twenty-one days!

In her previous life, they had ruined her.

In this life, they deserved to have her ruin them!

The smile gradually faded from Li Wanyun's face, her eyes turning cold with indifference and hatred.

She had been reborn.

Three days earlier, she had been in a vicious argument with her uncle's family, fighting to protect the company her parents had left her.

That bastard cousin of hers, Li Qiancheng, had shoved her into a doorframe and split her head open.

Li Wanyun raised a hand and touched the wound on her head.

That blow had brought back the Li Wanyun from two years in the future.

She had suffered the same injury in her previous life, but it had only deepened her hatred for her uncle's family, making her dig in and refuse to yield.

Even when doomsday arrived, she and her uncle were still exhausting every avenue to wrest control of the company from each other.

But in twenty-one days, doomsday had come.

Everything had become worthless.

She had entered the apocalypse with nothing.

Her uncle's family had originally been in the same position.

But damn it, Li Qiancheng had awakened a power and become a water esper.

That alone had instantly elevated Li Jianli's entire family.

Li Jianli and the others hated Li Wanyun too. In their eyes, her stubborn refusal to let go of the company had kept them tangled up with her, preventing them from noticing the signs of the coming apocalypse...

What a joke!

Her parents had worked so hard to build that company. Why should she give it to them?

In her previous life, after Li Qiancheng awakened his power, his family had done everything they could to destroy her. Abusing his status as a Superpower Person, they stole the food she had painstakingly dug up, beat her brutally, and even tried to kill her.

Li Wanyun had been lucky enough to survive.

She fled to another city, and half a year into the apocalypse, she finally awakened her own power-space.

Just how special was a Space Esper?

With her Spatial Superpower, Li Wanyun endured hardship and suffering before finally managing something resembling a decent life in the second year of the apocalypse.

And then her damned uncle's family appeared again!

Old Madam Li used her position as her grandmother to insist that she support them, while Li Jianli and his son, Li Qiancheng, also wanted to profit from her.

And after that...

Li Wanyun's breathing grew ragged, her gaze colder still.

Out of consideration for their blood ties, she had only crippled Li Qiancheng instead of killing the family.

She hadn't expected Li Jianli to spread rumors that she had supplies, then join forces with several Superpower People to attack her.

In the end, Li Wanyun had died a horrible death in the second year of the apocalypse.

Not every Space Esper had vast stores of supplies.

On the contrary, Li Wanyun had always had very little. She had awakened far too late!

Fortunately, she had been reborn, and everything had returned to the beginning.

This time, she could become the richest person of all!

Thinking of her storage space, Li Wanyun wept with joy.

In her previous life, her space had grown little by little. By the time she died, it had only been the size of a soccer field.

But after her rebirth, for some unknown reason, her space was enormous, even though her power was only at the beginner level!

It must be as big as ten soccer fields, right?

-Heaven really has been good to me!

Not only did it let me be reborn, it even gave me such an incredible cheat...

In this life, she would live well.

In this life, she would make Li Jianli and the others pay!

Thinking of the five billion and that enormous space, Li Wanyun laughed.

"No one else in the world could possibly have an opportunity like this. Even a chosen heroine couldn't ask for more. Let's see who dares mess with me now!"

"Trampling Superpower People and kicking villains aside-that's the life a chosen heroine deserves!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Meanwhile.

Sheng An and Hao Jingye stood inside the mansion Li Wanyun had sold.

The house was completely empty.

Expressionless, Sheng An said, "Hao, tell me, how big would someone's storage space have to be for her to take every piece of furniture when she already has five billion?"

Yes, Li Wanyun had cleared out all the furniture in the villa.

Five billion could buy an enormous stockpile.

Yet she had wasted storage space on the furniture her parents had left behind?

Hao Jingye swallowed and murmured, "Her space is very, very big."

Those two emphatic "very"s were both a description and an exclamation.

They had acquired another important piece of information.

Puzzled, Hao Jingye asked, "Sister Sheng, where do you think her space came from? She shouldn't be a Space Esper, right? But we haven't heard anything about some ancestral heirloom being involved either."

According to their current information, a Space Esper's storage space always started out very small.

If Li Wanyun's space was large, that didn't fit what they knew about Superpower People.

Sheng An glanced at him. "With so many reborn people already, do you really think logic is necessary? These 'chosen heroes' and 'chosen heroines' don't need their cheats to make sense."

Hao Jingye: "..." That makes so much fucking sense.

"Her space is huge, and she's in such a hurry to raise money. Her plane tickets are also for grain- and meat-producing regions..."

"Most likely, her space can keep things fresh."

"Time stands still inside a Space Esper's storage space, so there's a strong chance she's a Space Esper."

"The reason her space is unusually large is unknown. We may need to ask her directly."

"We can't rule out the possibility that she doesn't know either."

"Judging by everything she's done, she's been reborn."

"And she suffered quite a lot during the apocalypse."

"She is already a Space Esper before doomsday in this life, so she must have been one in her previous life too."

"At the beginning of the apocalypse, food buried under the rubble hadn't been contaminated yet. Space Espers who awakened early couldn't have had it too rough."

"She may only have awakened her Spatial Superpower after the first three months of the apocalypse."

Sheng An calmly summed it up. "Xu Qingqing-ah, no, Li Wanyun.

"A Space Esper reborn from the apocalypse, with an enormous storage space. In her previous life, she only awakened more than three months into the apocalypse and suffered a great deal. In this life, she's raised five billion and intends to stockpile like crazy."

Trading one sentence after another, the two had already laid Li Wanyun's secrets bare through logical deduction.

Hao Jingye asked, "Sister Sheng, you said earlier that you had plans for Li Wanyun's space?"

Sheng An smiled meaningfully. "Excellent plans. Come on, let's head back first. Once we confirm Li Wanyun's situation tomorrow, we can put the plan into action."

Hao Jingye was a little puzzled.

But he asked no more questions and followed Sheng An back to the Doomsday Special Affairs Office.

Jiang Yu swore that even her final year of high school hadn't been this grueling!!

A group of so-called academicians and experts droned in her ears like they were chanting scriptures-

"Good heavens, I've explained it twice, and you still haven't memorized it?!"

"..."

Who the hell can memorize half a book after hearing it twice?

"Quick, look at this. Remember what the video just covered? What plant is this?"

"..."

Oh, thank you so much. That video was two hours long and introduced a hundred plants, and you played it on fast-forward.

"Surely you know this one. It's basic biology!"

"..."

Since when are plant diseases and pests common knowledge?

"And this one-"

Jiang Yu clutched her head. "Aaaaaah, I can't take it anymore!!"

Then everyone gave her a disdainful look.

And another disdainful look.

Academician Zhou said, "Sigh. I've never had such a dim student."

Academician Liu comforted him. "Just bear with it, Zhou. Do you think I've ever had one this dim?"

Dr. Cheng remarked with complete sincerity, "Her IQ might not even be over 120."

Jiang Yu: "..."

-What happened to being the chosen heroine?

-Why am I still being looked down on when I've been reborn and have a storage space?!

That was when Sheng An returned.

Tears welled in Jiang Yu's eyes. "Sister Sheng! Save me!!"
