Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Upgrade-1
Ivy looked around her transformed temporal space and froze where she stood.
The gloomy, dull landscape she remembered had completely vanished.
In its place stretched a sunlit field, bright and warm, as though a gentle spring morning lived eternally inside these walls.
Soft light brushed against her skin, and the faint scent of blooming grass filled the air.
She took a cautious step forward, the ground feeling smoother and softer than before.
’This is... too different. Something big has changed.’
Heart thudding with a mix of excitement and alarm, Ivy hurried to check the rules of the space.
Each upgrade always shifted something fundamental, she couldn’t afford to overlook even a single detail.
Her eyes scanned the updated list, and when she spotted the first change, she inhaled sharply.
"Thirty days...?" she whispered.
The corner of her mouth lifted. Now she could remain inside her temporal storage for an entire month without being forcibly ejected.
One month of uninterrupted planning.
’A whole month where no one can disturb me... That alone is priceless.’
In case she encounters a natural disaster that her family and she couldn’t ward off, then... they could just enter the temporal storage and live freely.
She continued reading.
[Living creatures could now be stored inside the space for a full week.]
That upgrade alone opened countless possibilities.
Then she reached the karmic energy section, and her breath caught. Her karmic value had skyrocketed, soaring to one hundred million.
A stunned laugh slipped out of her.
"All because I brought people into the base... saved some... all of that goodwill counted."
Indeed, true was the saying that good people are rewarded.
With one hundred million karmic points, duplicating nearly anything became trivial. Testing it out, she requested an object duplication.
A soft chime echoed in the air.
[Do you want to multiply a packet of salt by 100?]
Her eyes lit up instantly.
"One hundred times... I finally broke past the seventy-five limit."
She barely had time to revel in the realization before another notification sounded, a soft, pleasant ding that vibrated through her fingertips.
[Temporal storage has upgraded. Additional functions are now gradually unlocking.]
A new menu unfolded before her eyes, and Ivy felt her heartbeat quicken.
One by one, new options appeared: raising animals inside the storage, creating a controlled vegetable garden, cultivating specific herbs...
And then she saw it... the option that made her entire body go still.
Even though all the features that have been mentioned till now were the restriction that temporal storage couldn’t cross before, she was more tempted with the one she was seeing.
[As long as the host stays inside the temporal storage, the death wavelength will be suppressed until it disappears entirely.]
Her throat tightened. Warmth gathered behind her eyes, making her vision blur.
’This... this curse that ruined my past life... this flaw that almost cost me everyone I cared about... it can finally be erased?’
She pressed a hand over her trembling mouth, trying to hold back the sob that climbed her chest.
Tears still slipped down her cheeks, falling silently onto her palm.
She forced herself to calm down and continued scanning other functions.
There were farming spaces, each designed for a different purpose: one to nurture livestock, one to accelerate vegetable growth, one specifically for herbs, and even an advanced section capable of producing hybrid foods.
Fruit trees she had never seen before were offered as permanent additions to her storage.
The more she scrolled, the more overwhelmed she felt. Each feature was something people in the apocalypse would kill for. And then... factories.
Ivy blinked. "Factories... inside the temporal storage?"
The thought was thrilling, but when she opened the option, her excitement dimmed.
The requirements were harsh. She had to provide every raw material. Worse, she needed double the normal amount of iron for machinery.
She exhaled slowly. "This won’t work right now. I’ll revisit it later."
She scrolled again until she reached the potions section.
One option showed a glowing vial of spring water. The description beneath it sent a chill racing up her spine.
"This water can heal any injury and can even pull a person back from death."
Her fingers trembled. "Completely heal... even revive..."
But the price was steep. She could only redeem a single glass at a time, and only three times in her entire life.
She sighed softly. "So limited..."
Despite the temptation from all the options, her decision was already made.
As long as her deadly energy remained unsolved, nothing else mattered.
’If I don’t deal with my flaw now, who knows if I’ll ever get another chance. I can’t risk another lifetime like the last.’
She selected the option to suppress her death wavelength.
A mechanical voice chimed gently.
[Temporal storage is upgrading again. Host may freely enter and exit during the process.]
Ivy wiped her eyes and steadied her breathing.
A sudden thought crossed her mind.
’Should I try to building the function of the temporal storage while upgrades are ongoing?’
But before she committed to anything, she remembered another notification from before, the special feature that she had unlocked.
"Show me the special function," Ivy instructed.
A panel materialized in front of her. Words glowed softly:
[SPECIAL FEATURE: RULE: POWER OF RULING]
[Description: Host may control the entire base, set restrictions, establish rules, teleport individuals out, or forcibly expel violators with a gesture. Host may prevent any hostile act within the base, regardless of the offender’s strength.]
Ivy’s eyes widened until she could feel the cool air on the whites of her eyes.
She shook her head, stunned.
"Are you... are you telling me I can control my entire base now? If someone tries to break a rule, I can stop them instantly? I can teleport them out? Just like that?"
Her gaze flicked over the screen, over the text that confirmed every impossible thing she had just spoken aloud.
Until now, she could only expel people staying in the specific housing units created with her temporal storage tools. That limitation had always shadowed her authority. But now...
"Everything changed..." she whispered.
For the first time since opening her own base Ivy felt that base operation could be easy!
