Chapter 7: Leveling Up Her Special Ability

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Su Jin went out today, she purposely brought a backpack with her. There was no way she would do something as blatant as putting something directly into her dimension from outside. With this, she could pretend to put her things into her backpack but slip them into the dimension instead.

She returned to the food street again, buying more deep-fried skewers. She watched intently as the hawker shook chili flakes and cumin powder all over the glistening skewers, fresh out of the oil. When he put the skewers into an equally-crispy fried bread, Su Jin barely stopped herself from drooling.

She was obsessed with these light snacks, and she preferred bold flavors too. In the past, she used to worry that her skin would break out or turn sallow if she ate anything too oily or spicy. Now that she had the immortal pills from the dimension, though, she could throw those concerns away.

The stall owner handed Su Jin the flatbread, stuffed to the brim with other ingredients. As she paid him, he could not help but give her another glance or two. The girl was way too pretty! Her skin was all soft and supple, even fairer than tofu. Tsk-tsk.

Su Jin had no idea what he was thinking, though. Throwing all appearances aside, she stuffed her face with the bread and fried skewer snacks. It was just spicy enough and sooo tasty!

The beef noodles she had last time were pretty good too, so Su Jin returned for seconds. Just as before, she ordered two extra slices of beef with her noodles, and she was quite satisfied with the whole experience.

Next, she followed her navigation app to the nearest supermarket. Su Jin did not hold back, filling up her cart as she browsed the aisles. She made especially sure to take more preserved foods like vacuum-packed biscuits, ham, sausages, and canned foods. Finally, she reached the cold section and stared at the ice cream in the freezers. Cravings aside, a plan was gradually coming to her, so she decisively two large tubs of ice cream as well.

At the cashier, Su Jin looked at her piled-up cart and asked for two plastic bags for camouflaging purposes. After all, it was impossible for her to fit all that into her backpack.

Su Jin paid with her e-wallet. She had borrowed money from Lu Hao, yes, but she was by no means poor. In fact, she had quite a sizable nest egg of her own. She had been working and saving up for a few years, plus she had received tons of monetary gifts from her relatives before her wedding. Even the dowry her mother had prepared for her was still firmly within her grasp.

The cashier wondered for a second how such a petite lady could carry all those things by herself. The cans were not light, after all. Nevertheless, when she saw how easily Su Jin picked up the two bags, she could not help but admire her. This lady was both pretty and strong, what a rare sight! She was much better than those pretend princesses.

Su Jin did not know that strangers were already labeling her a ‘strong independent woman’. She simply went to a corner of the lounge, which happened to be part of the surveillance cameras’ blind spot, and pretended to transfer the ice cream from the plastic bags into her backpack.

She wanted to see if food deteriorated slower in the dimension.

It was nine o’clock at night by the time she finished eating and strolling around. Su Jin eventually decided to head back to the hotel.

Since it was in the middle of May, G Province was getting hotter and stuffier by the day. When Su Jin opened the remaining box of ice cream in her room, she was a little miffed to see that it had almost melted away completely. Only a tiny part at the very center was still solid. The mini-fridge in the hotel room could refrigerate but not freeze anything.

Still, though most of it was now ice-cream soup, Su Jin ate the whole thing anyway. She understood the importance of zero wastage more than anyone.

Once she was done, Su Jin remembered the rest of the supplies she had bought that day, and she whisked them all into the Wood Spirit Dimension with a wave of her hand. After that, she entered the dimension herself and found that everything she had put away was standing properly on the stone platform she had first landed on.

Did that mean she would have to manually rearrange everything she kept into the dimension? Su Jin remembered reading on the jade tablet that the owner of the dimension could categorize the items inside with nothing more than a thought, though.

Su Jin looked at the small pile of supplies on the stone platform and thought of the stone table in the mansion’s courtyard. The next instant, the supplies vanished. Su Jin hastily ran into Lu Mansion and, as expected, all the supplies were on the stone table. Phew, thank goodness, that meant she did not have to carry everything herself. If she brought in a large machine or a car or anything like that, it would be a real pain if she had to move it manually.

This time, Su Jin’s main objective in coming here was to survey the land in this dimension and figure out just how big it really was.

The land was neatly tilled in squares. Su Jin used her mind to teleport to the bank of the small stream running through the dimension. The water was crystal clear, and there were many shiny round pebbles at the bottom of the stream. Seriously, the stream looked like it came right out of a fairy tale. Also, the water never stopped flowing, but where exactly was the source?
