To please others? It's better to please yourself.

Most importantly, the book describes Xu Jing'an as dying in 1979, before she turned 30. In other words, Xu Jing'an's demise was imminent!

No one told her where or when this calamity would occur.

Since Xu Jing'an cannot control Zhou Fubao, he must stay away from this unstable factor.

The two could either distance themselves by sending Zhou Fubao away or by having Xu Jing'an change her major and transfer to another class.

But she knew her luck had been pretty bad since she transmigrated. Who knew what other pitfalls awaited her if she changed her major or went abroad? This was already fantasy; what if she encountered a cultivator, a ghost hunter, or someone with superpowers? Would she even survive?

She'd be scared out of her wits!

Then we can only try to send Zhou Fubao away. We can't expect God from a foreign country to be her biological father, can we?

Although this selection process for going abroad values ​​professional skills, especially English proficiency, Zhou Fubao was not considered.

(Thousands of candidates had to pass three rounds of tests: the department's preliminary exam, the university's written exam, and finally the Ministry of Education's unified exam.)

Moreover, the number of participants was only 52 (two teachers leading the team, and the remaining 50 people included: 11 from Peking University, 9 from Tsinghua University, 15 from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (including the Beijing branch) and various ministries and commissions of the State Council, 5 from other universities in Beijing, 2 from factories in Beijing, 4 from Shanghai, and 4 from two universities in Tianjin).

Peking University ultimately selected students majoring in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science.

More importantly, their age! The youngest are all over 30, and many are in their 40s. The country sends students abroad so they can serve the country upon their return, not to provide talent to foreign countries.

These international students are all middle-aged. They all have wives (husbands), children, parents, etc., who are their concerns and constraints, so the country can feel at ease using them.

If we wait for the second batch of overseas student slots, it will be 1980. By then, the grass on Xu Jing'an's grave might be tall.

It's like a loop, and there's no solution.

After thinking for a long time without finding the key to breaking the deadlock, Xu Jing'an was unusually agitated.

The next morning, everyone in the dormitory had left.

As she combed her hair in front of the mirror, she suddenly froze. Putting down the comb, she carefully examined herself in the mirror.

I've always felt that Zhou Fubao is a special case. But is she the only one who's special?

Xu Jing'an has been in this world for many years and has interacted with the female protagonists of several books. Apart from some memories, they rely on their own abilities.

There's another person who's different from everyone else, and that's Xu Jing'an!

Where did all those appliances, furniture, clothes, bedding, and other daily necessities in her space come from?

Where does the water come from, and where does it flow? How are the natural gas and electricity used for cooking in the kitchen connected without pipes?

Food that will never spoil in the kitchen, and storage room that will always be clean and tidy.

This time, Xu Jing'an calmed down and, for the first time, desperately called upon her cheat code in her mind.

After a while, the other party finally responded. A gentle male voice asked solemnly, "Are you sure you want to use your spatial ability to counteract Zhou Fubao's lucky streak?"

Xu Jing'an answered affirmatively, "I'm sure!" To be honest, she hadn't used her spatial ability much since she transmigrated. After marrying Shen He, she rarely thought about it, and dared not even think about it.

Xu Jing'an didn't feel the slightest bit heartache at having to trade space for it.

"You don't want anything that this space offers you?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "No!"

"This space will develop better and better in the future. You'll find spiritual springs, cultivation methods, and even trading platforms from different realms. Don't you want them?"

"No!" The promise was grand, but Xu Jing'an feared she wouldn't live long enough to enjoy it. The more the other party questioned her, the more unwavering Xu Jing'an's answer became.

"Don't you want to stand at the pinnacle of life? The difficulties you face now are only temporary; as long as you overcome them..."

"I'm just an ordinary person. I'm happy with my own house, a stable job, a loving husband, and healthy, sensible children."

Xu Jing'an quickly added, "Of course, families like the Xu family's are out of the question!"

How could I not be happy? In 2023, living such a life would be the envy of half the country!

"I just need to do my best! One shouldn't be too greedy!" Ordinary people should have the awareness of ordinary people!

Besides, there are 360 ​​professions, can you be the best in every one of them?

After a moment of silence, the voice said, "Okay, as you wish!"

Xu Jing'an quickly spoke up: "Wait a minute! I've sacrificed so much, shouldn't I be indirectly saving someone's life, accumulating merit and making a contribution? And I don't get any benefits in return?"

Xu Jing'an had never suffered such a great loss before. Even the country wouldn't treat her like this!

What do you want?

"I don't want what comes with the space itself, but I should at least get some of what I've earned over the years, right?"

"Can"

"Could I leave my things with you temporarily? Just some money, a few self-defense tools, and some food!"

Now that we've brought it all out, what are we going to do? We could eat it all for a month straight just from the food.

"We can store it for you, but this space is temporary. You can only take things out, not put them in. It will disappear in three years!"

"Okay!" This amount of time is enough for Xu Jing'an to use up all of these things.

Ding! The global vulnerability has been patched; everything is back to normal!

Xu Jing'an discovered that the space was only 4 cubic meters. Apart from the cabinet that could hold an unlimited amount of food, the rest of the space contained items she had left behind in case of emergency.

Then, many things changed...

The master who was about to exorcise the ghost suddenly discovered that the ghost had disappeared; the one who was preparing to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage and undergo the tribulation of lightning discovered that not only was there no lightning, but all the spiritual energy had vanished.

The stunningly beautiful woman gradually returned to being an ordinary person; the genius who could achieve enlightenment overnight by completing tasks without any effort now had to start learning from scratch...

Xu Jing'an is busy right now, trying to organize her things in the dormitory. Her train leaves this afternoon, so she needs to get there early.

……

Forget about buying a sleeper ticket this time.

Xu Jing'an dutifully put on the same outfit he had worn before, slung a backpack over his shoulder, grabbed two steamed buns, tied his shoelaces, and took a car to the train station.

The waiting room was already crowded with passengers. Given her size, getting on the train through the door was a pipe dream.

As soon as she passed through the ticket gate, she rushed out. In the surging crowd, Xu Jing'an took the lead, found the target window, and "whoosh," she climbed up and nimbly climbed in, sitting down and letting out a long sigh of relief.

When she woke up, the train carriage was already packed with people.

The aisles were packed with people, people were lying under the seats, people were sprawled on the luggage racks, and a huge crowd had gathered in the connecting area between the train carriages...
