Fully activated

Buying until midnight, with the time getting late, Gu Lin's car was almost full, so he took Gu Xue back home.

This time, Gu Lin didn't put everything into the space and take it away.

Instead, he and Gu Xue carried things up to the apartment floor by floor.

There would definitely be countless more rounds of this activity in the future, so Gu Xue needed to get used to it sooner rather than later.

After moving everything, even though Gu Xue was full of energy, she was now exhausted and wished she could just collapse on the floor of the living room and fall asleep.

Gu Lin lifted the tired girl who was about to sit on the floor and pointed to her room, "You've been crazy all day, go take a shower and change into your pajamas!"

Gu Xue weakly responded, "Got it!"

Seeing her looking like she was about to pass out from exhaustion, Gu Lin couldn't help but smile wryly.

He had finally managed to tire out this energetic human kid.

"Meow—!"

Fatty meowed discontentedly in front of his food bowl.

Where had they been all day? His bowl was empty!

Gu Lin glanced at the empty food bowl, chuckled lightly, and waved his hand.

The empty water bowl instantly filled with spring water.

While Gu Xue was still showering and wouldn't come out for a while, Gu Lin took out a bag of cat food from the space and poured it into Fatty's bowl.

After feeding the cat, Gu Lin returned to his room, pulled the blackout curtains closed, and with a flash, entered the space.

In the bamboo house in the space, there were several bedrooms on the second floor, all equipped with water and electricity.

If Gu Lin wanted to, he could even take a shower in the bamboo house's bathroom.

After quickly washing himself and changing into comfortable pajamas, Gu Lin stepped out of the bamboo house but suddenly felt something was amiss.

Glancing back, Gu Lin couldn't help but widen his eyes and remained dazed for a while.

The bamboo house... had it grown taller?

No, the bamboo house should have been this tall originally; Gu Lin just couldn't see that much before!

Before retracting the safety buckle jade pendant from the space carrier, the bamboo house in the space only had two floors and wasn't very large.

But now, standing outside the bamboo house and looking up, Gu Lin could directly see five floors!

Not only had the number of floors increased, but even the scope of the bamboo house had become larger!

Because they had gone crazy for too long today with Gu Xue, Gu Lin was also a bit tired and hadn't initially noticed the changes in the bamboo house courtyard space.

But now, upon closer inspection, the entire courtyard had expanded by at least twice its original size!

It must have just expanded like this today, without any notification at all.

Gu Lin had thought that even if he retrieved the safety buckle jade pendant, the space wouldn't undergo any changes.

Feeling delighted, Gu Lin looked around the entire bamboo house courtyard and walked into the bamboo house, heading straight for the information panel on the first floor.

The changes to the information panel of the bamboo house were not significant, with only two additional brightened icons:

"Control Room on the Third Floor" and "Waste Conversion Bin."

Seeing this information, Gu Lin quickly went upstairs to the third floor's control room.

Pushing open the door to the control room, it looked somewhat like... the control console of a high-tech laboratory?

There were several floating semi-transparent screens around, displaying various kinds of information.

In front of the largest screen in the middle, there was a comfortable-looking chair.

Gu Lin walked over and sat in the chair, suddenly feeling a strange fluctuation in his consciousness.

Then, the voice that Gu Lin had heard before rang out in his mind again:

[Welcome back, master. The space is now fully activated!]

Gu Lin's eyes lit up.

At that moment, the pattern on the semi-transparent screen in front of him began to change, displaying two lines of text:

[Space intelligent steward is being activated and can be shut down at any time.]

[Two spatial artifacts detected in the space. Consuming them may unlock other functions of the space.]

Gu Lin suddenly realized that the voice in his mind was actually an AI specifically designed to manage the space.

He wondered if it could understand human speech.

As soon as this thought occurred to him, there was an immediate response in his consciousness:

[I can understand and execute most of the master's commands.]

Gu Lin raised an eyebrow, testing the AI:

"Then help me gather all the poultry eggs in the breeding area and store them in the warehouse."

[Yes, master.]

After this response, Gu Lin immediately felt a familiar fluctuation in his consciousness, but it lasted only a moment.

He released his perception and couldn't help but smirk.

All the poultry eggs in the breeding area flew up as if being mysteriously pulled, heading straight for the neatly arranged storage boxes on the shelves in the storage area.

Countless eggs flew through the air, creating a beautiful scene.

Moreover, as Gu Lin scanned through his consciousness, he found that not a single egg was cracked.

Jackpot! If the space steward was this useful, then the other functions of the space...

Gu Lin raised his hand, and there appeared a jade bracelet and a blurry ancient coin.

Exactly the "two spatial artifacts" displayed on the screen.

But when these items actually appeared in his hand, Gu Lin began to hesitate.

Allowing the bamboo house space to consume them was only a probability to unlock the space's functions.

Spatial artifacts were indeed rare, and Gu Lin originally intended to reserve one for Gu Xue.

This way, even if he wasn't with Gu Xue, she would have the ability and resources to protect herself, preventing any accidents due to lack of food or clothing.

Therefore, Gu Lin had planned to wait until Gu Xue truly realized the arrival of the apocalypse before letting her choose one herself.

Spatial artifacts were too precious; Gu Lin had traveled to so many places before and had only found one.

If he let his bamboo house space devour both of these spatial artifacts now... he didn't know when he would encounter spatial artifacts again.

Gu Lin pursed his lips, caught in a dilemma.

It seemed that the screen in front of him sensed Gu Lin's hesitation, and the text on the semi-transparent screen changed again:

[You can devour one of them first to try unlocking the space's functions.]

Gu Lin looked up, pondered for a moment, and nodded.

Now, it seemed that he could only devour one spatial artifact first.

Regardless of whether he could successfully unlock the other functions of the bamboo house space, Gu Lin still had one left in his hand that he could give to Gu Xue when necessary.

Suddenly, a small screen appeared below the main screen, emitting a bright light.

Gu Lin raised his hand and placed the string of jade bracelets on it.

The space within the ancient coin was larger, and there was also a small wooden house, which seemed to have greater potential for growth than the jade bracelet, so Gu Lin would naturally prioritize keeping the ancient coin.

The differently colored jade beads fell onto the screen and quickly turned into light pink dots, merging into the screen.
