B5SB -Chapter 68 Mutant Hamster

Gu Yihan and Maomao returned home, one after the other, and the “beep…beep…” electric buzzing in her head finally stopped.

A mechanical voice sounded: “Power mode has failed.”

The moment she heard the voice, Gu Yihan’s whole body went limp, and she slumped directly onto the living room floor.

Seeing her sit on the floor, Maomao grew anxious and circled around her.

As if worried she would get cold, it had dragged a blanket from the bedroom and covered her, then lay beside it, keeping watch.

After resting for a while and regaining a bit of strength, Gu Yihan couldn’t wait to communicate with the space through her consciousness.

In the next instant, she found herself and Maomao in a different location, looking at a pile of stored supplies.

She was still a bit incredulous—Maomao could actually enter the space too?

Maomao, sensing the change in surroundings, became uneasy. Gu Yihan patted its head to comfort it.

“Welcome, host, to the space.”

Hearing the voice, Gu Yihan asked with her consciousness, “Why are you in my space?”

System: “…”

Shouldn’t the host be grateful that it saved her?

Then the system explained: “This system originates from the Kepler Universe. It was stored within the jade pendant on your body while being pulled into a black hole, replenishing energy.”

“Replenishing energy?” Gu Yihan asked, puzzled.

The system patiently explained: “The energy supports the operation of the space, and also replenishes the system’s missing energy.”

Gu Yihan’s anger surged. She had guessed it—if the space could later form a puddle or even grow a tree, someone should eventually be able to enter.

Noticing Gu Yihan’s thoughts, the system hurriedly added: “Your reincarnation to this place is thanks to this system. I let you dream of difficult times so you could stockpile supplies in advance; otherwise, your arrival here would have been much harder.”

Gu Yihan was furious and roared, “I was just dying to come here?”

“Also, what was the space originally like? When can it be restored?”

The system sensed her anger: “Originally, it was like spring all year, with mountains, rivers, lakes—but it cannot be restored. The energy has already been absorbed, just enough to sustain the system.”

Watching Gu Yihan’s expression shift constantly, Maomao was puzzled. It quietly went to the fruit tree and squatted nearby; it could still feel that this place was comfortable.

Gu Yihan couldn’t even describe her feelings: “The space sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t—is it because of you?”

System: “…”

“The energy sustaining the space cannot be used directly by the system; it needs to be converted first, so the system has long dormancy periods.”

Since what had happened couldn’t be changed, Gu Yihan asked, “What functions do you have?”

“The Kepler Universe is a world of species mutations. The system was developed for human life safety. This system can protect the host’s life.”

Gu Yihan replied, “Fine, life safety comes first.”

Suddenly, a silver light flashed in front of her, and a vial of potion hovered in midair.

Eyes wide, Gu Yihan tentatively grabbed it: “Is this for me?”

“The host has bodily injuries. After taking this, the injured areas will recover completely within 15 minutes.”

Gu Yihan was ecstatic. She removed the stopper and drank it. The liquid went down her throat, and she immediately felt much better.

Satisfied, she nodded and went over to Maomao. Looking at the fruit tree, she realized that after picking one last time, nine fruits remained.

She asked the system, “What is this fruit for?”

After a moment, the system’s mechanical voice replied: “These fruits are for infants and young children—they strengthen the body.”

So it wouldn’t tell her that they were mutated fruits: “For infants and animals, fine; for adults, useless.”

Gu Yihan had understood enough. She was too tired today and needed rest.

She called to Maomao, “Let’s go.”

With that, the girl and her dog disappeared from the space.

The space fell silent. From behind a shelf, a fluffy white hamster emerged.

Finally, the woman had left. It was a mutant hamster from the Kepler Universe.

A max-level psychic mutant hamster, caught in a black hole during a great battle, accidentally entered the jade pendant.

It realized that the space inside could even change its own cheek pouches and became greedy, wanting to claim it for itself.

Before it could absorb all the space’s energy, it discovered that the jade pendant had been claimed by a new master.

Once the pendant recognized a master, it linked the hamster’s life to the pendant’s space. Now, Gu Yihan was the master, and it became a support.

If it died, Gu Yihan would control the space and be fine; if she were harmed, it would die—the cruel law of heaven and earth.

The previous timeline resisted it. It had to exhaust all its psychic energy to bring Gu Yihan into this era, leaving itself injured and unconscious.

Feeling danger to Gu Yihan, upon waking, it found its psychic powers reduced to the lowest level.

“Who would believe it… a max-level psychic mutant hamster from the Kepler Universe, reduced to a tiny hamster anyone could step on.”

Luckily, it was clever and disguised itself as the system using psychic powers. Now, it had to train its abilities quickly.

After feeding the chickens in the backyard, Gu Yihan returned to the front yard and placed food from the space into Maomao’s bowl.

She ate stir-fried pork with chili and rice, thinking about today’s incident with Deputy Director Shen—it had been so dangerous.

Without the system, she might have been in serious trouble. Eating, she realized her throat no longer hurt— the potion was really effective.

Shen Family

Mr. Shen was carried home by Director Xing of the Revolutionary Committee and placed on the sofa. Mrs. Shen quickly checked his leg.

Anxiously, she asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer in the hospital? Isn’t it better than being home?”

Director Xing said calmly: “Mother-in-law, it takes a hundred days for tendons and bones to heal. Being home, it’s more convenient for you to care for him.”

Mr. Shen impatiently waved her off: “Don’t just stand there, go pour me a glass of water.”

Mrs. Shen hurried to the kitchen and placed a glass of water on his right side.

She then looked at her son-in-law, almost the same age as her, and asked, “Why didn’t Zihan come back with you?”

Director Xing narrowed his eyes: “I didn’t ask her to come. Also, mother-in-law, don’t call Zihan back to your home unnecessarily in the future.”

Mrs. Shen was shocked: “She’s my daughter! She’s married to you, not sold to you! Don’t I have the right to see her?”

Director Xing sneered: “I’m not a saint either, but compared to you, I’m far better.”

“What grudge does Gu Yihan have against you? Why put someone in mortal danger?”

Mr. Shen, thinking of his injured leg, coldly glared at Director Xing: “You’re not on our side. What does a stranger like you have to do with us?”

Director Xing didn’t fear Mr. Shen. Coldly, he replied: “Our relationship is mutually beneficial. You want me to get you out of the steel trading incident. I liked your daughter—young and beautiful. The deal is done, both sides agreed, so stop acting like a senior elder.”

Mr. Shen trembled with anger, accustomed to being authoritative. He threw his teacup at Director Xing: “Get out! Pretend this daughter never existed!”

Director Xing, full of sarcasm, looked at Mr. Shen: “Do you still think you’re the old Deputy Factory Director Shen? Why play power games here?”

He then walked straight to the door.

Opening it, he said softly: “If I ever hear that you instigated Zihan to go to that Zhou family in Gujia Village, don’t blame me for doing what’s just.”

Slap! Director Xing slammed the door and left.
