She turned it over curiously, holding it up to the light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is the temporary space?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The transparent crystal looked... ordinary. Unremarkable, even. If anything, it almost looked like cheap plastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how exactly was this supposed to work?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the thought crossed her mind, a response surfaced in her consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A section of her storage space—ready to be allocated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temporary space would be carved out from her existing storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, her space had already expanded several times. She had more than enough room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, she designated one hundred square meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Authorization complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excitement surged through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped out of the bath, quickly changed into her pajamas, and rushed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t wait to share this with Leonard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she had been bathing, the rain had started again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy. Relentless. It hammered against the windows, loud and unyielding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The living room was filled with the aroma of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard had gone all out—using up the remaining ingredients in the fridge to prepare a full meal for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re done? Just one last dish—the chicken wings,\" he called from the kitchen. \"Go sit on the couch for a bit. Watch something, or play on your phone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy smiled and nodded, heading into the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned on the TV—still working—and picked an anime she liked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar sounds filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out her phone, replying to Derek Martin and Thomas Kim, letting them know she was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she opened the villa surveillance feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to see how George and the others were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no drama to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the Kale family and the Sanders family seemed closer than ever. Like one big, harmonious household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat around the table together, chatting and laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a glance, it looked warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more Suzy watched, the stranger it felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this... normal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t what she had expected to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exited the feed and leaned back lazily on the couch, letting the anime play in the background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had watched this series dozens of times—she knew nearly every scene by heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t really watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just... filling the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, her thoughts drifted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That binding target from earlier—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right. No wonder the name had sounded familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liam Austen. She repeated it in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly... Her eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That name—wasn’t he one of Wendy’s future men?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it rang a bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wendy really had it good—every single man in her circle was rated SSS-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suzy, come eat.\" Leonard’s voice pulled her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Coming,\" she replied, getting up and heading to the dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spread was simple—but irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three dishes and a soup. At a time like this, being able to eat fresh vegetables and meat—that alone set them apart from almost everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did anything happen on your way back?\" Leonard asked, placing a chicken wing into Suzy’s bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was fine. Nothing too dangerous,\" she replied, glossing over her encounter with Gloria and the attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point worrying him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good.\" Leonard visibly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy took a bite of the cola chicken wing before asking, \"Uncle, have you gone out at all these past few days?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I’ve stayed home the whole time. Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I ran into a neighbor downstairs on my way up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard looked surprised. \"There are still people alive in this building?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. I was surprised too,\" Suzy said. Then, after a pause, she added lightly, \"And... a pretty high-quality neighbor at that. Lives just downstairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard raised an eyebrow. \"What kind of person?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only got a quick look. Young. Around my age, I think. He was wearing a mask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard nodded thoughtfully. \"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Suzy could even finish the chicken wing in her bowl, he added two more, looking at her with quiet affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat more. You’ve only just gotten back—stay home and rest for a while,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their safehouse and abundant supplies, there was no need to risk going outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weather was terrible. The outside world was chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One wrong move—and it could cost them their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, staying inside like a shut-in wasn’t so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had the means, why not?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle, that’s actually what I wanted to talk to you about,\" Suzy said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hm? Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the best time to gather supplies. In a couple of days, we should head out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the world was still in the early chaotic phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most places were flooded, yes—but there were still pockets where supplies remained untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they wanted the best resources, they had to act now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more people caught on, the opportunity would be gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gather supplies?\" Leonard frowned, unconvinced. \"Don’t you already have plenty in your space? Enough for us to live on for a lifetime. Better to leave what’s out there for others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They already had more than enough. Anything extra would just go to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you misunderstood,\" Suzy said quickly. \"I’m not looking for food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gold. Gems. Antiques—things like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard frowned even deeper. \"What do you need those for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To upgrade my space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the disaster, she hadn’t gone all-in on buying such items—not because she didn’t want to, but because they were expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some antiques cost millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy too many, and she’d go broke—no funds left for essential supplies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been lucky to acquire a few energy-rich items at reasonable prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those were rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her space leveled up, the energy required for further upgrades kept increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather than hunting endlessly for rare treasures, it was more efficient to go by quantity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gold. Gems. Other precious things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Individually, their energy might be limited—but in bulk?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enough to push her space forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, in this new world, these things had lost most of their value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard fell silent for a moment... then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were for the space, then going out was unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Suzy added, \"Oh—there’s something I want to give you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took out the medium for the temporary space—the diamond-shaped crystal pendant––and handed it to him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-05-30T15:23:36.944Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","3528492a9904a7d0e87e78118aea67442d36d88234b5c88c030ece71a82699f6","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-121","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-119",210,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-cover.jpg"]
