Silas stared at Ivy for a while before nodding,
"Alright. But don't wander too much."
Ivy nodded and watched as Silas slowly walked away.
She turned around and walked toward the lake. Since the water was going to be contaminated anyway, it's better if she stores as much as she can.
With that thought, Ivy waved her hand in front of the lake, and a notification sounded
[Would you like to store 50 trillion gallons of water?]
50 trillion gallons of water... Even if 1 billion people drank water for the next 100 years, Ivy will still not run out of water!
Delight appeared in Ivy's eyes, and she nodded.
[Preserving 50 trillion gallons of water.... 0.1kb will be deducted to preserve the water. Your current balance is 19.8kb]
Ivy's eyes shone, and she waited for the water to disappear; however, instead of the miraculous scene, she only received a command in her head.
[Unexpected Problem detected! Living beings found in the water! Would you like to store them?
Warning: Preserving them will be difficult. It would be recommended to host to permit the space to kill them all while storing them.]
Ivy's hand trembled, hearing the sudden command.
Was the temporal storage talking about... fishes and other aquatic animals? They can be stored, too?
If so... then she will hardly have to worry about fish in the apocalypse!
Although she will lack many things, such as seasonings and vegetables, at least she will have fish to eat!
The only problem was that since the lake was a freshwater lake, the variety of the aquatic animals caught would not include seafood like oyster, shrimp, lobster, and crab.
Even Mollusks like clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, and cephalopods like squid and octopus, and Echinoderms, like sea cucumbers and sea urchins, will not be caught.
She may capture a variety of fish, turtles, or otters.
"Yes. And kill the aquatic animals." Ivy ordered. She nervously clutched her hand and waited for the miracle to appear.
The lake water in front of her suddenly started to ripple, then within the blink of an eye, the water vanished, and all that remained was empty land.
At the same time...
[100,548 Sun fish, 30,800 Bass, 40,380 Trout, 90,339 Walleye, 203,795 yellow fish, 200,600 other fish have been found. Would you like to preserve them for 0.1 kb?]
[255031 crayfish, 3,908 turtles, 102 otters, and 48 frogs have been found. Would you like to preserve them for 0.1 kb?]
Ivy's eyes widened. That was a lot of food. She had never even seen so many animals at once, not even in a zoo. Her heart thumped in her chest. She could barely believe this was real.
"Yes, preserve them," she said quickly.
[Animals preserved. 0.1 kb has been deducted. Current balance: 19.7 kb.]
Ivy let out a huge sigh of relief. Her whole body relaxed as the system confirmed it. All those fish and creatures were safe in her storage space now.
Now... she will never be hungry. As long as she is not picky, she can not only feed herself but also her real parents, her best friend, and Silas's team.
Some kind people had helped her in her previous life. In this life, she can help them in silence like they did.
Apocalypse was indeed cruel; 9 out of 10 people were greedy and scheming. However, Ivy was helped by many, too.
After all, Ivy wasn't the only naive person in the apocalypse.
This time around, Ivy vowed to punish those who had harmed her and help those who were kind to her.
With that thought, Ivy quickly made a round in hopes of finding some animal. On the way, she collected all the trees and logs she found.
At the arrival of extreme cold, these trees and logs will come in handy.
Maybe Ivy had run out of luck after storing so much, because she didn't find anything useful.
As the time passed, the gathering of black clouds attracted Ivy's attention.
'Sh*t... Power Rain is about to arrive... I should leave.'
With thought, Ivy stored mud too.
Yup, she wasn't ready to leave even mud behind.
But at that moment, she received a command in her mind.
[10 million pounds of mud stored. Storage Limit has been reached! Would you like to upgrade the space?]
Ivy wasn't surprised. She had stored away an entire lake. If the storage limit hadn't been reached at this point, even Ivy would have doubted how much space was in there.
"Yes."
[Upgrading... insufficient kb! To upgrade the storage to level 1, you need 10,000kb!]
