Strolling the Streets
After dealing with the three middle-aged men dressed in black, Xuan Ye walked out of the nearly deserted alley and returned to the bustling streets of the town.
"Sigh! Those three call themselves ninjas, but with that pitifully little chakra and such weak chakra fluctuations, they're probably only at the level of apprentice ninjas!"
"I reckon any student from Konoha's Ninja Academy could easily defeat those three. They were really too weak; I didn't even have to exert myself before I died."
Xuan Ye thought to himself silently, and cleaned the dark Kunai that had just been stained with blood.
Looking at this still sharp, dark Kunai, it seems the recent battles have been far too easy. There isn't a single mark on the surface of this Kunai, so there's no need to go to the Ninja Tool Shop or buy new ninja tools, as I already have plenty on me.
After cleaning the Kunai in his hand, Xuan Ye put it back into the pocket of his white robe, still carrying a large brown backpack on his back.
"Carrying this backpack seems to be affecting my image a bit! I guess it's dragging down my charm a bit." Xuan Ye thought to himself. If he could, he would have thrown away the brown backpack on his back a long time ago.
However, Xuan Ye could not do that, because the brown backpack on his back contained all his possessions, namely the more than 20 million taels of silver notes, as well as a large number of ninja tools, and they were all brand new and unused.
"Sigh! If only I had one of those Space Rings! If I had one, I wouldn't need this backpack at all. I could just throw it away and never want to see it again."
"Furthermore, with the Space Ring, no matter how many things there are, they can be put inside. It is also much more convenient to take things out and put them down. When you want to take something out, you only need to think about it. Putting things down is the same; you only need to think about it."
"However, the most important function of the Space Ring is not these. The most important thing is that time is stopped in the Space Ring. If we use this law, we can put hot and delicious food in it. When we take it out next time, the delicious food will still be hot. How wonderful would that be?"
However, all of this was just Xuan Ye's own wild imagination. The system simply wouldn't give him Space Ring, because even after Xuan Ye asked, the system's answer was always no.
However, Xuan Ye knew very well that the system definitely had the Space Ring; it just hadn't taken it out yet.
"It seems like there haven't been any new tasks lately. Could it be that the system has become broke and stopped giving me tasks?" Xuan Ye thought to himself.
"No, no, it shouldn't be like that. How could such a freakish system turn you into a poor bastard? It must just be that the time for issuing the task hasn't come yet. Don't overthink it, don't overthink it."
Once again, Xuan Ye wandered aimlessly through the streets of the town center. "Hey, delicious food, buy, buy, buy! Fun things, buy, buy, buy! Cool and stylish white clothes, I have to buy, buy, buy! Ah!"
I can forgo buying other things, and I can resist eating delicious food, but I absolutely cannot not buy stylish and fashionable clothes that suit my temperament. If I don't buy them, I would really be letting down my more than 20 million taels of silver.
After buying the items, Xuan Ye was dumbfounded again.
Looking at the huge pile of things in front of me—food, toys, and stylish clothes that could bring out my personality—my backpack simply couldn't hold all of it. What was I going to do?
Xuan Ye looked at the huge pile in front of him, feeling like crying but having no tears.
This shopping experience further fueled Xuan Ye's desire to obtain Space Ring. Even without Space Ring, a Space Pouch from the system would be quite nice!
Although Space Pouch isn't as high-end as Space Ring, it's good enough if it's useful! Right now, I don't even have a Space Pouch.
But no matter what Xuan Ye thought in his heart, no matter how reluctant he was to part with these things, he still had to make a choice, to decide which things he wanted and which he didn't.
"Ugh! This is such a difficult choice!"
"Throw away the food? No way, this is all delicious food! We can't throw it away, let's eat it all."
With a slight thought in his mind, Xuan Ye began to enjoy the food.
"So full! So full!"
Xuan Ye stretched slightly, let out a burp, and twisted his neck, making a cracking sound. To be honest, the food in this town was quite good, and it would be a real shame to waste it.
The delicious food is all gone; now all that's left are clothes and fun toys.
It's certain that Xuan Ye didn't even glance at those interesting toys a second time, tossing them aside and turning all his attention to the clothes—those stylish, white outfits that accentuated his personal style. Xuan Ye's eyes lit up when he saw them.
Imagine how stylish and eye-catching it would be to wear these clothes!
As he pondered, Xuan Ye put down the brown backpack he was wearing. The backpack was already full and there was no room to stuff anything else in it, so Xuan Ye had to make one choice: to throw away some of the clothes he had worn.
"Hmm! I've worn this outfit for days, and it doesn't look very imposing. Throw it away! Throw it away! This one too, throw it away! Throw it away! I just don't like this one, throw it away! Throw it away!"
"As for this one, forget it! I'll keep it! I can't throw this one away; this outfit brings out my domineering aura, so I'll keep it!"
After nearly ten minutes of deliberation, Xuan Ye finally decided which clothes to keep and which to leave. He had changed into a new white robe, which flowed gracefully and looked very stylish and cool, with an air of aloofness. Xuan Ye felt particularly comfortable wearing it.
After making his selections, Xuan Ye looked at the miscellaneous items scattered on the ground. Things like white clothes and interesting items—he didn't want any of them.
"Forget it! I have plenty of money on me anyway. If I run out, I can just buy some more. Why be so stingy?"
Xuan Ye silently told himself this in his heart. After all, in his previous life, Xuan Ye was just a poor boy who lived a miserable life every day. He had a lot of work to do, but in the end, he only received a little bit of salary. He had to save every penny every month. If he didn't get his salary this month, he might go hungry.
