**Starting with Five Billion**
Li Wanyun could barely contain her amusement.
Earlier today, after Li Jianli wired her the money, the old matriarch wasted no time in calling to demand she sign over the company and leave.
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Wanyun had signed the papers on the spot.
“Hahaha, this is absolutely priceless. In 21 days, the stocks and the company will be worthless. Why would I hold onto them now? What’s the point?” Li Wanyun chuckled, clutching several bank cards as she flopped onto her bed.
She couldn't wait to see the look of regret on that family's faces in 21 days!
In her past life, they had destroyed her.
In this life, she would ensure they tasted the same suffering!
The smile on Li Wanyun's face slowly faded, replaced by a cold, vengeful expression.
She had been given a second chance.
Three days ago, she had been embroiled in a heated argument with her uncle's family, trying to protect the company her parents had left behind.
That detestable cousin, Li Qiancheng, had shoved her, causing her to hit her head on the door frame and sustain an injury.
Li Wanyun touched the wound on her head.
That impact had brought the Li Wanyun from two years in the future back to life.
In her past life, the injury had only fueled her hatred for her uncle’s family, and she never backed down.
Until the apocalypse arrived, she and her uncle were still locked in a bitter struggle over the company.
But 21 days later, the apocalypse came.
Everything turned to dust.
She had nothing and entered the apocalypse just like that.
Initially, her uncle's family was in the same dire straits as she was.
But damn it, Li Qiancheng awakened a superpower and became a water elemental user.
With this power, Li Jianli's family's status immediately elevated.
Li Jianli's family also harbored intense hatred for Li Wanyun. They believed that her stubbornness in holding onto the company had prevented them from noticing the signs of the apocalypse in time...
What a joke!
That was the company her parents had worked tirelessly to build. Why should she give it to them?
In her past life, after Li Qiancheng awakened his powers, his family relentlessly pursued her, using their superpowers to rob her of the food she had painstakingly gathered, beat her, and even tried to kill her.
Li Wanyun, with her indomitable will to survive, managed to stay alive.
She fled to another city and, six months into the apocalypse, finally awakened her own superpower—space manipulation.
How special was a space manipulator?
With her space manipulation powers, Li Wanyun endured many hardships and finally, in the second year of the apocalypse, managed to carve out a somewhat decent life.
And then, her damn uncle's family appeared again!
The old matriarch, wielding the fact that she was Li Wanyun's grandmother, demanded that she support them. Li Jianli and Li Qiancheng also wanted to benefit from her.
Later on...
Li Wanyun's breathing became rapid, her gaze growing colder.
Out of consideration for their blood relationship, she had only crippled Li Qiancheng and refrained from killing them.
Unexpectedly, Li Jianli spread rumors that she had supplies and joined forces with several other superpowered individuals to attack her.
In the end, Li Wanyun died tragically in the second year of the apocalypse.
Not every space manipulator had abundant supplies.
On the contrary, Li Wanyun's supplies were always scarce because she awakened too late!
Fortunately, she was reborn, and everything returned to the beginning.
This time, she could become the wealthiest person!
Thinking of her space, Li Wanyun cried tears of joy.
In her past life, her space had grown little by little, and by the time she died, it was only as big as a soccer field.
But after being reborn, for some unknown reason, even though her superpower was only at the beginner level, her space was incredibly vast!
It must be the size of ten soccer fields, right?
—Heaven truly favored her!
Not only did it allow her to be reborn, but it also gave her such a significant advantage...
In this life, she would live exceptionally well.
In this life, she would make Li Jianli's family pay!
Thinking of the five billion and the vast space, Li Wanyun laughed.
"Such an opportunity, there probably isn't a second one in this world. Even the chosen one wouldn't have it this good. Let's see who dares to provoke me now?"
"Stepping on superpowered individuals and kicking villains aside, this is the treatment the chosen one deserves!"
"Hahahahaha!"

Meanwhile.
Sheng An and Hao Jingye stood inside the luxurious mansion Li Wanyun had sold.
The house was empty, devoid of any furniture.
Sheng An's face was expressionless. "Xiao Hao, how large must a space be for someone to clear out all the furniture even after receiving five billion?"
Yes, Li Wanyun had emptied the entire villa of its furniture.
Five billion could stockpile countless supplies.
Yet she wasted space to store the furniture her parents had left behind?
Hao Jingye swallowed and muttered, "The space must be very, very large."
The two "very large" were both a description and an exclamation.
Another crucial piece of information had been obtained.
Hao Jingye was puzzled. "Sister Sheng, how do you think she got her space? It shouldn't be from being a space manipulator, right? But we haven't heard of any ancestral items involved either."
Based on their current information, space manipulators' spaces were initially very small.
If Li Wanyun's space was very large, it wouldn't fit the logic of a superpowered individual.
Sheng An glanced at him, "With so many reborn individuals, do you still think logic is needed? These 'chosen ones' and 'chosen girls' don't need logic for their advantages."
Hao Jingye: "..." That made a lot of sense.
"Her space is very large, and she's in a hurry to raise money. The plane tickets are also to regions that produce grain and meat..."
"Most likely, her space can preserve freshness."
"Space manipulators' spaces have time stopped. The possibility of her being a space manipulator is very high."
"The unusually large space is an unknown reason that might need to be understood from her."
"It's also possible she doesn't know the reason herself."
"From her various actions, she seems to have been reborn."
"And she suffered a lot in the apocalypse."
"In this life, before the apocalypse arrives, she is already a space manipulator. So, in her past life, she should have also been a space manipulator."
"At the beginning of the apocalypse, food under the ruins wasn't polluted. Early awakened space manipulators couldn't have had such a hard time."
"She might have awakened her space manipulation powers three months into the apocalypse."
Sheng An summarized calmly, "Xu Qingqing, no, Li Wanyun.
"A space manipulator reborn from the apocalypse, with a large space, awakened her powers three months into the apocalypse in her past life, suffered a lot, and is now raising five billion to stockpile supplies."
The two of them, with their logical deductions, had already stripped Li Wanyun's secrets bare.
Hao Jingye: "Sister Sheng, you mentioned earlier that you had arrangements for Li Wanyun's space?"
Sheng An smiled meaningfully, "Very good arrangements. Let's go back for now. Tomorrow, after confirming Li Wanyun's situation, we can implement the plan."
Hao Jingye was a bit puzzled.
But he didn't ask any more questions and followed Sheng An back to the special operations department for the apocalypse.

Jiang Yu swore she hadn't suffered this much even in her senior year of high school!!
A group of so-called academicians and experts was reciting scriptures in her ear—
"Oh my, I've already explained it twice, and you still haven't memorized it?!"
"..."
Who can memorize half a book after hearing it twice?
"Quick, look at this. Do you remember what was mentioned in the video just now? What plant is this?"
"..."
Thank you, that video was two hours long and introduced a hundred plants, played at double speed.
"At least you should know this. This is basic biology!"
"..."
Is plant disease and pest control common knowledge for you?
"And this one—"
Jiang Yu held her head, "Ahhhh, I can't take it anymore!!"
Then, she was looked at with disdain by everyone.
Looked at with disdain again.
Academician Zhou: "Sigh, I've never had such a slow student."
Academician Liu comforted, "Old Zhou, bear with it. Do you think I've ever had such a slow student?"
Dr. Cheng sincerely sighed, "Her IQ might not even be over 120."
Jiang Yu: "..."
—What happened to being the chosen girl?
—Why, even with space and rebirth, am I still being despised by everyone?!
It was at this moment that Sheng An returned.
Jiang Yu, with tears in her eyes, cried out, "Sister Sheng! Save me!!"
