Chapter 2

"Where am I?" After an unknown period of time, Jing Tian woke up, dazedly looking around. The space was empty, as if he were floating in the vastness of the universe, unable to distinguish up from down or left from right.

"Didn't I get electrocuted again? How did I end up here? Hey? Why did I say 'again'..."

Jing Tian looked around. The place was a chaotic void with no discernible boundaries. There was no light source, yet he could see clearly, as if the entire space was emitting a faint glow. Jing Tian tried to move, and to his relief, although there was nothing under his feet, it felt as if something was supporting him, allowing him to walk. He looked left and right, then randomly chose a direction and started walking. One step, two steps, three steps, bang!

"Damn!" Jing Tian covered his nose with one hand, feeling tears welling up uncontrollably, while the other hand felt around in front of him. There was clearly nothing there, but it felt as if an invisible wall was blocking his path. Jing Tian moved along the 'wall' horizontally, and after a full circle, he lifted his hand and tried jumping. Well, the current situation was that Jing Tian was in a space that seemed infinitely large but was actually only 2 meters in all directions.

Calm down, calm down, think about what to do in such a situation as described in novels. Although he didn't know if this place was sealed, at least he could breathe and didn't feel suffocated. Thinking about this, Jing Tian shouted loudly, "Come out! I know you're here. Let's talk things through, okay?"

After waiting for a long time with no response, Jing Tian thought, 'Hmm, this isn't some internal system, so the system flow is ruled out. The divine artifact flow needs verification. In this situation, to get out, I just need to think about it. Yeah, that's what I'll do.'

Jing Tian, as if giving himself a pep talk, tapped his left palm with his right hand, then closed his eyes and kept thinking, "Out, out, I want to get out." When he opened his eyes again, Jing Tian was silent for a moment... "Ha ha ha ha, I'm out, indeed."

Looking at the familiar bedroom around him, Jing Tian couldn't help but jump and dance wildly, letting out his excitement.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. "Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian, what are you doing in there? Are you crazy?" The door was pounded by Aunt Liu from next door. Jing Tian quickly rushed to the door and opened it, his face beaming like a trumpet flower, saying, "Nothing, nothing, Aunt Liu. I just watched a comedy movie, hahaha."

"Is that so? You naughty kid, I thought you were setting off bombs in there, making all that noise. Xiao Tian, you should find a partner to keep you in line. Think about the one I introduced you to before."

"Sure, sure, I'll remember, Aunt Liu, hahaha."

"That kid, well, I won't say more. I'm going back." Aunt Liu shook her head and returned to her room.

After closing the door, Jing Tian punched the air dozens of times, finally calming down a bit. He threw himself onto the bed in a star shape, looking at the ceiling, occasionally letting out a "pfft, hmm, hehe, hahaha."

After a while, Jing Tian sat up, picked up the alarm clock by the bed, and checked the time against his phone, repeatedly thinking, 'In, in.'

After a moment of dizziness, he indeed found himself in the space. He looked around, carefully took a few steps, and confirmed that the space was 8 cubic meters. Holding his phone and keeping track of the time, 10 minutes later, Jing Tian reappeared in the bedroom. Looking at the alarm clock, the second hand had just moved. Jing Tian was stunned. Was time outside stopped while time inside was flowing?

He tried again, setting his phone to a stopwatch and thinking about the space to put the phone inside... no reaction. He tried again, still no reaction. It seemed that the space could only be entered and exited through himself. He couldn't sense the space now, but maybe with increased abilities, he could sense it and freely store things. "Whatever, I'm already ahead."

He entered the space again, set his phone to a stopwatch, and pressed start. He then flashed out of the space and watched the alarm clock for 10 minutes before eagerly entering the space again. He picked up his phone and saw that it had just jumped to the 2nd second. Jing Tian's eyes sparkled. It seemed that while he was in one space, time in the other space was stopped.

After much折腾 (fussing), Jing Tian was finally a bit tired. He lay on the bed, imagining all sorts of things he could do with the space... but decided it was too risky.

Gradually, the excitement of getting the space subsided, and Jing Tian felt something was off, as if something was calling to him.

He got up inexplicably and followed the feeling to the computer desk. He examined it from top to bottom, opened the drawer, and dumped everything onto the bed.

After experimenting with each item, Jing Tian looked at the disc in his hand, speechless. There were so many discs—games, movies, anime, and computer systems—but he couldn't understand why only this movie disc had a reaction, while the others didn't.

He arranged all the discs in order and by category, one hand on his hip, the other hand rubbing his chin. His eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes scanned all the discs. After a while... "Damn! Among all the discs, only this one is genuine..."

Jing Tian, both amused and exasperated, put away the other discs and looked at the remaining disc, which was a movie called "Crazy Stone." He remembered that this was the only genuine disc, which he had obtained from the fat director... A gust of resentment blew past, and Jing Tian shivered, tilting his head to think about the mysterious attraction.

Suddenly, Jing Tian slapped his head. Since this feeling appeared after he got the space, there must be a connection. Without hesitation, he took the disc and flashed into the space.

As soon as he entered, the disc in his hand seemed to be attracted and floated in the air, slowly decaying and disappearing. In Jing Tian's mysterious feeling, a tumor-like object suddenly appeared in a certain part of the endless void outside the space. Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, he could sense it, which was quite amazing. It kept expanding until it stopped, floating in the void.

Jing Tian closed his eyes and focused his mind, as if breaking through a thin film, and familiar scenes appeared. It was the beginning of the movie.

Jing Tian opened his eyes in surprise, not knowing how to describe his current feelings.

This space actually had a personal cinema, and it was 3D, making it feel as if the story was happening right next to him. He could watch the movie from a god's perspective, seeing any place and any person in the movie.

Suddenly, Jing Tian's expression twisted. Although he knew he was alone in the space, he still looked around nervously, then focused on watching. Soon, a red line trickled from his nose.

"Damn, that's intense..." You know what I mean.

Shaking his head, he didn't care about the other things and used his shirt sleeve to wipe the nosebleed. He thought for a moment and decided to focus on the movie, seeing if there were any changes. As for other 'serious matters,' there would be plenty of time for that later. Yes, at this moment, Jing Tian thought very nobly.

As he focused on the main character of the movie, he slowly discovered that he could fast-forward and pause like watching a movie on a computer, but there was no way to rewind. To find answers, Jing Tian had to speed up the movie, but even until the end, he found nothing. Disappointed, Jing Tian gave up.

At the end of the movie, Jing Tian watched the main character give the genuine jade to his girlfriend, thinking, 'Damn, don't give it to me. If I were there, I would definitely take it. It's so valuable, shouldn't you support a poor guy like me?'

Thinking this, Jing Tian found himself getting closer and closer to the jade, closer and closer, closer and closer...
