Shining Through the Chaos with My Bulldog
As Natalie expected, it got swallowed up again. She glanced down at the bracelet on her wrist. The quality had improved, but the storage space hadn't grown. So, what exactly had changed? She thought for a moment and decided to head to the mansion to figure it out. She tried picking up Lucky, but it didn't work. Eventually, she hoisted the dog over her shoulder and slipped into the storage space. "Lucky! Why are you so heavy now?!" Once inside, she quickly set Lucky down on the lawn. She hadn't noticed before, but the dog had grown much bigger. Her dog's body was almost double what she had been when Natalie first brought her home. No way Natalie could lift her like before. Natalie squeezed Lucky's sides and realized she was as solid as a rock. Other dogs might look chubby because of their thick fur, but it was mostly fluff. Lucky, a short-haired bulldog, was genuinely big. She bent down and scolded her dog, "Lucky, you're a girl! Eat less, or you're turning into a pig!" Lucky ignored those words. She just lifted her head, trotted to the pond, and started drinking. Natalie could only shake her head. She ignored Lucky and wandered through the mansion instead. The mansion? No change. The lawn? No change. The herb garden? No change.The pond? Still the same. ... She inspected every corner, leaving no detail unchecked, yet still found nothing. So what exactly had been upgraded in the storage space? She'd fed it a top-tier emerald, and nothing happened. That couldn't be right. Natalie refused to give up and wandered around again, but she still didn't find anything. She checked her herb garden—everything was growing fine. Then, she picked up Lucky and popped out of the storage space. The next moment, Natalie and Lucky popped up on the coffee table in Unit 1402. Lucky was right at the edge and wiggled a bit before tumbling onto the floor. "Ow, ow, ow!" Natalie didn't understand dog language, but just by looking at Lucky, she knew her dog was swearing up a storm. She looked down, confused. What just happened? They had gone into the storage space from the couch, but now they were on the coffee table—three feet away. Natalie was completely confused. She jumped back into the storage space and popped out again. She'd moved another three feet forward. This time, she landed between the coffee table and the TV. She tried a few more times, her heart racing with excitement. Finally, she realized what had changed inside the storage space. It was the exit point! Natalie kept going in and out, figuring out the pattern. If she wasn't focused, she'd pop out three feet ahead of where she went in. But with concentration, she could exit at the same spot. She could even control the distance, a foot or two at a time. Anything under three feet was doable. That was teleportation! No wonder she'd entered the storage space from the platform and popped out right on the steps at Tyro Tech Tower. When she dealt with a wild boar on the mountain, she ended up right on top of it. The storage space had already been upgraded back then. Those raw stones from the stone gambling expo hadn't made it bigger, but they weren't useless. The extra entry and exit distance back then had only increased about 12 inches—barely noticeable—so she hadn't noticed it. This time, though, the emerald she bought at the floating market was top-quality, so the upgrade jumped to three feet. That was why she finally realized it.Natalie couldn't help but think that good deeds did pay off. If she hadn't lent Harold and Olivia the inflatable rescue boat, she wouldn't have gotten all that crocodile meat. Without the extra meat, she wouldn't have thought to trade for fertilizer at the market. And that emerald? Basically free. She summed it up bluntly. By lending out an inflatable rescue boat, she unlocked the teleportation superpower. She was thrilled when a bright idea hit her. She pressed a hand to her racing heart, walked to the wall between the living room and bedroom, and entered the storage space. When she popped out, she was in the bedroom. It was like walking through walls! As long as the wall was less than three feet thick, she could completely glitch through it using the storage space.Natalie was so excited that she could barely breathe. In her previous life, she'd only used the storage space to store stuff or hide temporarily. She never imagined it could upgrade and give her such an awesome trick. It was three-feet teleportation and walking through walls. If she used it in a fight, people would just think she'd gained some superpower. No one would guess it all came from her portable storage space.
