Xie Zhizhi stood panting heavily before rows of empty, milky-white shelves.

All because of a dream she had.

The suffocating feeling from the dream still lingered.

Natural disasters and fleeing famine!

Emaciated people desperately running, scenes of snowstorms, tsunamis, extreme cold, and scorching heat—it all felt as if it had truly happened.

Too real.

Recalling the details of the dream, one particular moment left her feeling deeply frustrated.

“Starving to the point of weakness, yet still having to run for my life to escape bandits! Getting beaten without the strength to fight back! So infuriating!”

Why was it so frustrating? Simply because, despite her extraordinary strength since childhood—the kind that could easily lift and throw two hundred pounds—she couldn’t use it when it mattered most!

To be precise, she couldn’t use it in the dream.

“Whew, thank goodness it was just a dream.”

She wiped away the cold sweat, patted her chest, and sat cross-legged on the floor. It took her a while to fully snap out of the dream.

Finally, she realized something was off about where she was!

“Huh? What’s going on?”

Where was this?

Shouldn’t she have woken up in bed, sleeping soundly?

Why was she on the floor?

Her deep brown eyes turned cautiously, scanning the surroundings several times. All she could see were rows upon rows of milky-white shelves!

Was she dreaming again?

Xie Zhizhi pinched herself.

“Ouch, that hurt!”

She stared blankly at her reddened arm, murmuring to herself.

“So… where is this?”

She pondered for a long while, her gaze fixed on the shelves in front of her.

The more she looked, the more familiar they seemed.

The height and milky-white appearance of these shelves… Why did they look so much like the auto-replenishing golden finger Space she had fantasized about before falling asleep?!

As an avid novel enthusiast, she had recently become obsessed with stories about escaping famine with a Space, and the obsession had lingered.

Perhaps that was why she had the dream.

In her mind, she had meticulously planned it out, imagining how wonderful it would be if she ever traveled to another world and had an auto-replenishing warehouse Space!

She had excitedly written over a thousand words in her notes, all describing the details of that Space, before drifting off to sleep contentedly.

“Could it be that thoughts by day become dreams by night? And not just dreams, but reality?”

This was too supernatural!

But she had always been bold and not particularly meticulous. Right now, she needed to figure out what was happening.

Thinking back to the usage of the golden finger warehouse she had envisioned, Xie Zhizhi tentatively thought to herself, “I want to leave.”

In the next second, her surroundings abruptly changed.

The familiar window and curtains, the cute room decorations, the Winnie the Pooh bear on the bedside, and the soft, familiar bed beneath her—she was really back!!

“It’s real! It’s actually real!”

“That really was a Space just now!”

Wow, how could she possibly contain her excitement!

On the large bed, the young girl bounced up and down excitedly, her fair face glowing with youthful energy, though her long hair was now a tangled mess.

After a while, she calmed down and sat cross-legged on the bed, resting her chin in her hands as she thought.

She had dreamed of fleeing famine during natural disasters!

She had obtained a Space!

Connecting these two factors, she thought of time travel!

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as a sudden thought occurred to her: “If I really were to travel to another world, how could I ensure my safety?”

“First, let’s test if that warehouse is real!”The sky outside had just begun to brighten. She got out of bed, grabbed the pink water cup from the bedside table, and silently recited the words “enter the warehouse.” Her heart raced with a mix of nervousness and excitement!

In the next second, her surroundings truly changed. The large bed disappeared, replaced by the shelf she had been standing in front of earlier. She was inside again!

Her entire body had completely entered!

Once more, she pinched her arm. It hurt!

This wasn’t a dream!

Wah, she had made it!

She touched everything around her—these shelves were incredibly real too!

Suppressing her pounding heart, she placed the water cup in her hand onto the 606060 grid shelf in front of her. A second later, she reached out again and took the pink cup from the shelf.

A miracle happened at that moment!

An identical cup appeared on the shelf!!!

“Amazing, my Space!! It really restocks automatically!” Xie Zhizhi wondered if all the settings she had imagined would come true one by one!

She tried putting it back again. A faint glow flashed, and the cup on the shelf merged perfectly with the one in her hand, leaving only a single cup in the grid.

She took it out again, repeating the process and having a blast. At most, she took out eighty cups and put them back. Thankfully, she was naturally strong, or her hands would have been sore.

She concluded that no matter how many she took out, putting them back would always result in one, and the inventory was truly infinite!

This was fantastic!

Winning a hundred million couldn’t compare to the excitement she felt at this moment!

Xie Zhizhi exited the warehouse Space and hurried to the fridge to take out the leftover half of the fried chicken from last night. She fried it in oil until it was thoroughly heated, then scooped it out and placed it on a plate.

She re-entered the warehouse Space, stood in front of a shelf, and placed the fried chicken along with the plate into an empty grid. After waiting an hour, she took it out again and found it was still hot enough to warm her ears.

Moreover, the shelf had automatically restocked, and a plate appeared with half a fried chicken on it!

“The freshness preservation function is just as good as I imagined!”

She bit into the hot, crispy chicken leg in her hand, savoring the crunch. After a moment’s thought, she took the fried chicken from the shelf grid and took another bite. It tasted exactly the same, even replicating the aroma of the chicken perfectly.

She poured a glass of milk, added oatmeal, and made herself a bowl of milk oatmeal to enjoy with the fried chicken for breakfast.

“First, let’s count how many warehouse grids there are.” After finishing the last bone, she washed her hands and re-entered the Space.

Miraculously, as soon as the thought occurred to her, she didn’t need to walk through the entire warehouse to get a panoramic view of it!

Each shelf had five deep-set grids vertically and four horizontally, totaling twenty grids per shelf for placing items.

There were twenty-two shelves along the walls and twenty-eight in the middle, making a total of one thousand grids.

According to her settings, as long as she filled all one thousand grids with different supplies, she could level up.

And gain other Space functions.

Xie Zhizhi had been raised by her grandfather, with no parents or other relatives. Her grandfather had passed away five years ago.

He had left her a shop in the city center of Jiangcheng with a monthly rent of fifty thousand yuan, a three-hundred-square-meter luxury apartment, and five million yuan in savings.

At eighteen, she began living alone. Though not wealthy, she never had to worry about food or shelter. Due to her natural strength, she didn’t socialize or work. Enjoying delicious food and reading novels were her only hobbies and daily routines.Now that she truly had the Space, stocking up was a must!

Xie Zhizhi took out her phone and checked the balances on several bank cards.

Sitting in the living room, she quickly did the math.

From age eighteen to twenty-three, five years in total. With an annual rental income of six hundred thousand, that made three million over five years. After deducting the money spent on her education, buying a car, and daily expenses over the years, plus the savings left by her grandfather, she still had five million six hundred thousand left.
