Chapter 3, Mysterious Space

I do not know, my master, whether this space existed first or if I came into being afterward

I do not know, but it should not be the case

This is the Celestial Fate Space, I am the spirit of the space, and it is the space that has nurtured me

"It can also be said that you can come in as well," replied the voice in my mind

"Hmm, this is indeed a good item," Li Fan nodded and said, "Is there anything else useful in here besides the spring water?"

Not far from the pond, there is a dilapidated thatched cottage. In front of the cottage, there is a fenced area containing some peculiar plants.

Are you saying that this mark is you

In the field of vision, there is a hazy space, and the ground beneath is dark and appears to be very fertile. At the center of the space is a pond, approximately half an acre in size, with several springs bubbling up from the bottom, gurgling as they bring water to the surface. However, it seems that the water level of the pond has remained unchanged.

I came in? How did I come in?

Yes, Master, the space is still in its primary state

Xiao Zhou brought Li Fan to the open space in front of the dilapidated thatched cottage

Reputation is related to the owner's popularity, achievements, and fame. Additionally, the system occasionally releases certain tasks, and the owner can receive corresponding task rewards upon completion, which may include reputation points or other items

... ...

... ...

Who

Little Zhou, seeing that the master was not angry, said with slight relief: "Master, if we compare a person's knowledge to a circle, the inside of the circle represents what is known, while the outside represents what is unknown. Therefore, the more one knows, the larger the circle becomes, and as the circle grows, the circumference touches more unknowns. Thus, the more unknowns I have, the more it proves that I know more."

Spirit Awakening Pill: Can be used on animals to activate their intelligence.

Will this space choose other owners in the future

"Then where did this space come from?" Li Fan asked again

Xiao Zhou glanced at Li Fan and said softly, "Master, this is the game rule, and I have no way to change it"

"Alright, I'll just say a few words." Li Fan also had no intention of making things difficult for Xiao Zhou, "Let me see what items are available in the shopping district."

This is how it is written in the novel

Memory Capsule: 1000 reputation points

Master, you only need to immerse your mind into this heart-shaped mark, and you will enter.

Yes, Master, I am Zhou, you can call me Xiao Zhou

Ah, my master, you should come often, as I am very lonely by myself

"Are you a spell?" Li Fan asked.

Li Fan waved his hand, no longer engaging in idle chatter with him, and decided to prioritize examining the space first

20 o'clock? Li Fan felt as if he was on the verge of climax only to suddenly experience impotence; one can only imagine the extent of his suffering

Haha, this is a famous quote from the renowned ancient Greek philosopher Zeno. You are quite clever, aren't you?" Li Fan laughed heartily after hearing this and patted the ethereal body of the little spell.

Master, it is right here. You can open it, and only you can open it. I cannot.

This space, apart from the spring water and that dilapidated hut, seems to lack anything else, appearing rather shabby.

Xiao Zhou glanced at the dejected Li Fan and said: "Master, you need to earn more reputation points now. When the reputation points are sufficient, they can also be used to upgrade the space"

One can participate in a lottery, complete tasks, and level up, but fortunately, one cannot fight monsters. Otherwise, Li Fan might have thought he had crossed over into a game.

Master, you have merely entered the space as a spiritual entity. You can also immerse your mind into your right wrist, and you will be able to exit.

Then, he glanced at the little spirit and said, "You wouldn't be a fake spirit, would you? Have you killed or imprisoned a real spirit?"

Is that so? Li Fan was contemplating how to immerse himself in his thoughts. Suddenly, his vision blurred, and he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place

"Oh, can we still draw lots?" Li Fan asked with some curiosity

"Curse? I am looking for you? I am indeed searching for something, but I am not looking for you... Wait, I seem to feel you speaking in my mind, could it be that you are?" Li Fan said with some confusion

Yes, Master, I am the space you are looking for

How is this thing used? Since there is a so-called spirit device next to him, Li Fan is too lazy to study it himself

The interface is mainly divided into two major areas, with the left side labeled as the shopping area and the right side labeled as the lottery area

Are there many spaces in this world like this one

Li Fan hurriedly looked at his wrist, where he noticed a faint heart-shaped mark. If one did not look closely, it would be nearly impossible to detect.

Master, I am the curse, are you not looking for me

I was dismissed at 8 PM, what a broken system this is, at the very least they should have given me a hundred or eighty thousand.

Can tasks still be performed

20 o'clock, Master, this is your first use, a gift from the system. Xiao Zhou replied cautiously.

Currently, there are only 20 points of reputation, how can one draw with this

I understand

His illusory eyes turned around as he said: "Master, the more things I do not know, the more it proves that there are many things I do know"

With all my current possessions, I can only afford to buy 2 bottles of growth liquid. Isn't this a scam

"What the hell, aren't you a spirit? How come you don't know anything?" Li Fan couldn't help but jump up; these were the things he wanted to know the most

Alright, that little spell, I want to go out. How can I get out?

Having understood most of it, Li Fan decided to go out first, as his parents were probably about to return.

Oh? This space can still be upgraded? Li Fan asked in confusion

"By the way, Xiao Zhou, how much reputation do I have now?" Li Fan asked excitedly

Master, why do you ask this?" Xiao Zhou questioned in confusion

Thank you for your praise, Master. Little Zhou hurriedly replied, "If you need me in the future, just give the command."

I did not know; before meeting my master, I was unconscious. I have only just awakened.

Oh, Master, allow me to explain to you that something has happened in the commercial district. Items can now be directly purchased using reputation points. Currently, there are already several items available for purchase in the commercial district. The lottery area allows for random item draws, with each draw consuming 100 reputation points. The items obtained from the lottery are categorized into four main types: basic, skill, attribute, and special. It is important to note that the basic items obtained from the lottery will appear in the commercial district and can be purchased an unlimited number of times in the future. The other three categories will not appear in the commercial district. Additionally, Master, some special items obtained from the lottery will require corresponding reputation points to purchase before they can be used.

What? I won the lottery, but I still have to spend money to use it. What kind of broken system is this? It's so deceitful. Li Fan was not happy.

Xiao Zhou let out a sigh of relief, as this question could finally be answered. He replied, "This is a spiritual spring nurtured by space, which is beneficial for the human body, as well as for plants and animals. It can improve a person's constitution and enhance physical health. When used to irrigate vegetables and fruits, it can make them exceptionally delicious. Of course, there are many other benefits, which the master will come to know in the future"

After a while, Li Fan finally asked: "How can one earn reputation points?"

Li Fan looked around curiously, "Is this really my space? I actually made it in."

"Shopping mall system? Where?" Li Fan was instantly taken aback.

There is nothing here?" Li Fan wondered, when suddenly a screen appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Welcome, Master. A somewhat ethereal figure appeared before Li Fan, vaguely resembling a young man.

Li Fan was taken aback

What wonderful things, all wonderful things, the more Li Fan looked, the more his heart blossomed with joy

Oh, is that so?" Li Fan looked at him with great interest, "What do you mean by that?"

"What is the use of this spring water?" Li Fan asked, pointing at the spring.

Master, I am inside your body. If you look at your right wrist, you will see me.

Li Fan spoke while tapping on the shopping mall area, and instantly the entire area magnified, occupying the whole interface, with a return button in the lower right corner

Of course, there is. Master, the mall system is very helpful to you.

Spirit Awakening Pill: 100 points of reputation value

"Are you space? What does that mean? Where are you?" Li Fan became increasingly puzzled

"Curse, what a strange name," Li Fan muttered, thought for a moment, and asked, "What kind of space is this? Do you know?"

"Master, I am truly a spirit of the instrument, and I possess a great deal of knowledge," Xiao Zhou said, wiping the virtual sweat from his brow and carefully explaining. He felt somewhat frustrated, as it was only the first day on the job, and he had already been looked down upon by his boss.

Master, please follow me

The entire interface displays several products of various shapes.

Growth Liquid: 10 reputation points

So, the white light that allowed me to traverse today is this space? Why did this space choose me?" Li Fan asked him.

Upon hearing that the space could be upgraded, Li Fan was immediately delighted and looked forward to the appearance after the upgrade. However, with only 20 points of reputation at present, he had no idea when he would be able to upgrade.

Well, understood, goodbye

I do not know, but there should only be this one

Li Fan originally planned to indulge in a lottery draw, having participated in many in his previous life. He had no idea how many times he had bought the Double Color Ball lottery, yet the most he ever won was just five yuan

... ...

The entire interface is simple and clear, resembling the mall system of the online games that Li Fan played in his previous life

Well, there are prices below

Growth solution: promotes plant growth, shortens the growth cycle of plants, and enhances the quality of plants

Beneath the two major areas is a horizontal section, with the words "Item Bar" written on the left and "Reputation Points" on the right

Memory Capsule: Primarily used for searching works, it allows for the retrieval of an entire work based on a single memory point

Subsequently, Li Fan exited the space
