Thrown Into Chaos: Good Thing I've Got a Trade Space!

Xiao Ling’er, a ninth-dan black belt in taekwondo from the twenty-third century, survives a fatal elevator crash only to awaken in the body of a fifteen-year-old girl in the famine-stricken Yuntian Kingdom on the Biyun Continent. The original host starved to death after sacrificing her rations to her mentally challenged mother, Mu Xiya, and her ten-year-old brother, Xiao Yuhao. Reborn into a hellish scenario with no food or water and a hostile village fleeing south, Xiao Ling’er immediately asserts dominance by killing a man who attempts to assault her, shocking the terrified villagers. This act triggers the activation of her golden finger: an Exchange System that rewards her with Evil-Cleansing Points for eliminating malicious targets. Upon killing the man and his mother who attacked her, she unlocks the system, receiving a newbie gift pack that includes a silenced pistol, ammunition, and physical enhancement pills.

Utilizing the system, Xiao Ling’er exchanges the dead man’s belongings for wealth points, which she uses to purchase food, clothing, and a spiritual spring within a personal spatial dimension. The spring water enhances the physical abilities of her family members, granting Mu Xiya immense strength and Xiao Yuhao superhuman speed. After the village chief and other refugees abandon them, the trio travels independently through the dangerous, drought-ridden landscape. They encounter a horde of rats attacking their cave shelter, which Mu Xiya and Xiao Yuhao help eliminate, allowing Xiao Ling’er to exchange the corpses for significant wealth points and essential supplies like warm clothing and bedding.

During their journey, the trio encounters a group of nobles led by Gu Yunting, a pale, frail-looking young master who is secretly a powerful figure. Gu Yunting’s daughter is choking on a piece of candy, and when his guards refuse to let Xiao Ling’er intervene, she persists, performing the Heimlich maneuver to save the child. Impressed by her decisiveness and lack of fear, Gu Yunting offers her a valuable purple waist token and silver notes, inviting her to join his caravan. Xiao Ling’er, prioritizing her family’s safety and wary of noble entanglements, politely declines the invitation but accepts the rewards. She later discovers the token is worth a billion wealth points, though she decides to keep it as a future contingency rather than exchanging it immediately.

Shortly after parting ways, Xiao Ling’er senses that Gu Yunting has assigned secret guards to protect her family. When one of these guards, Gu Yi, misinterprets the situation and attempts to assassinate Xiao Ling’er out of twisted loyalty to his master, she kills him with her silenced pistol. She then confronts the remaining guards, threatening them and asserting her independence. The incident reveals that Gu Yunting is aware of her capabilities and is intrigued by her, while Xiao Ling’er remains focused on surviving the famine and protecting her mother and brother. She continues to expand her spatial farm, unlocking new plots of land to grow crops like sweet potatoes and cabbage, ensuring a steady food supply while navigating the perilous world where human cruelty often exceeds the dangers of nature.
