Treasure Studio

"Uncle Lu Ding, since you work here, why don't you help me with the introductions?" Su Ke smiled slightly.

He had a decent impression of Lu Ding and didn't mind giving him a hand.

"O-of course." Lu Ding hurriedly replied. As a shop assistant, it was his duty to serve customers, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of reverence in front of Su Ke.

The two-headed man watched them leave with his own eyes. "When did this Lu Ding get to know such a big shot? I'll have to ask him about it when he gets back." He was filled with envy.

Storage space items can be crafted into many forms: rings, belts, necklaces, bracers, accessories, and much more.

However, manufacturing a "Space Ring" is extremely difficult. In the universe, it is considered a luxury item.

"The smallest size is 2 meters in length, width, and height, priced at 1 billion."

"The medium size is 5 meters in length, width, and height, priced at 10 billion."

"The larger size is 10 meters in length, width, and height, priced at 100 billion."

Lu Ding enthusiastically began to introduce the items to Su Ke.

By bringing customers to purchase goods, shop assistants like him were entitled to commissions.

Su Ke gazed at an earring-style storage item suspended inside a crystal glass cabinet; it was as exquisite as a work of art, shimmering brilliantly.

Space storage items are categorized by grade.

How could the primary materials used to manufacture Space Rings and other such items be cheap?

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a luxury item; it's certainly expensive," Su Ke sighed inwardly.

However, he was considered wealthy now, and space storage items would be useful to him.

"I'll take one of the medium-sized rings," Su Ke said.

The smallest size was too small to hold much, and Su Ke didn't care for it; he couldn't afford the most expensive ones, so he had to settle for a 5-meter cube.

Space isn't just about volume; it's also about the dimensions of the objects being stored. For instance, a 2-meter space can only hold items under 2 meters. You can't just chop up everything that's too big, right? What if you had a weapon longer than two meters?

10 billion! Even the richest person on an average planet wouldn't dare to spend like this. It was a genuine luxury item, equivalent to the price of two Stellar Rank 9 Martial Artists!

Lu Ding, standing nearby, couldn't help but show a look of shock. 10 billion was an unimaginable figure to him; he wouldn't earn that much in a lifetime of work. However, he also understood that those who could shop in this store were no ordinary people.

"I'll also take two of the smallest size," Su Ke added after a moment of thought.

"That's 12 billion in total, right?" Su Ke said casually.

Lu Ding stammered for a moment before hurriedly saying, "For such a large purchase, our store offers a discount. With a membership card, you can enjoy a 2% discount..."

After shelling out 11.76 billion, Su Ke received three Space Rings.

Lu Ding was trembling slightly; how much would he earn from such a massive transaction? As a newly hired employee, this was simply incredible!

The store manager was alerted and appeared to offer greetings, intending to serve Su Ke personally, but Su Ke declined. Meanwhile, the other shop assistants looked at Lu Ding with eyes full of envy. They all knew that Lu Ding had caught the eye of a big shot, and he was clearly on the path to success. This kind of connection alone was something many people could only dream of.

The transaction was processed quickly, and the store delivered the three Space Rings. Su Ke held an Ice Feather white crystal ring in his hand and followed the item's instructions to perform the initial binding. The ring underwent a subtle change, and a moment later, Su Ke had the sensation that the ring had become an extension of his own hand; he didn't even need Psychic Master energy to clearly perceive everything inside it. Inside the ring was an empty space, which, based on his feeling, was about 5 meters in length and height.

With a thought, the ring flowed silently like mercury, merging into his skin. Su Ke felt a chill, and when he looked down, the ring on his finger had completely vanished.

The material of this Space Ring was unique, allowing it to merge with the skin.

Su Ke smiled with satisfaction.

Although space storage items are luxury goods and cannot directly increase one's strength, they are indispensable. After all, he couldn't carry a lot of things everywhere, and it wasn't convenient. Sometimes in battle, one needs to carry weapons and equipment at all times! The same applied to treasures, as well as for escaping or dealing with crises!

"Next, I need to buy items for breaking through to the Planetary Rank," Su Ke thought to himself. What he wanted most right now was to break through to the Planetary Rank; being at the Apprentice Rank was truly frustrating.

"To break through from Apprentice Rank 9 to the Planetary Rank? You could choose this Dragon Heart Fruit. By consuming it continuously, you are guaranteed to break through within three weeks at most. Even after reaching the Planetary Rank, it can be used to assist in cultivation and improve your physique, though its effectiveness for auxiliary cultivation at the Planetary Rank isn't the best," Lu Ding introduced very conscientiously.

Using Muya Crystal to break through would be a huge waste. The price of Dragon Heart Fruit was much lower than Muya Crystal, but it was still slightly extravagant for a breakthrough to the Planetary Rank.

The Dragon Heart Fruit looked like fire-red agates hanging on emerald green vines, with dewdrops clinging to the fruit, each one crystal clear and delightful.

A single Dragon Heart Fruit was worth only 1,000, but it was actually sold as a precious fruit! Because it tasted delicious and was high-class! It could be used to entertain guests to show off one's taste, so sales were quite high. Some truly upper-class individuals and high-end establishments purchased them frequently.

For example, 1 kilogram of Purple Light Dew cost 10! The price was very cheap, and it was a common beverage for "wealthy families." But in every aspect, it couldn't compare to this Dragon Heart Fruit.

Su Ke bought 100 of them at once, which was more than enough for him.

He tried tasting one. When he bit through the skin, a cool liquid flowed into his mouth. The first sensation was a sweet taste, followed immediately by a "boom"—it felt as if an atomic bomb had exploded in his mouth. An indescribable deliciousness rushed straight to his brain, and his whole body gave a jolt!

"Delicious!" he exclaimed after coming to his senses. This was the best fruit he had ever eaten. No wonder it was sold at such a high price; you really get what you pay for.

At the same time, wisps of cold air surged through his internal organs, turning into life energy that slowly nourished his flesh. As time passed, it felt as if every cell was being permeated, and his genes were evolving. He even felt his physical fitness improving visibly.

Su Ke smacked his lips; this should be similar to "Spirit of Vegetation."

"After breaking through to the Planetary Rank, I will need more resources to improve my body," Su Ke pondered. The only convenience was that he wasn't a Psychic Master, so he only needed to consider physical enhancement.

For physical cultivation, generally, ranks 1–3 are the easiest, 4–6 are harder, 7–9 are even harder, and breaking through from rank 9 to a new level of life is the most difficult!

As for relying on one's own cultivation to slowly absorb cosmic energy? It was simply too slow! Mainly because Su Ke's talent wasn't very good.

"I need resources for cultivating from Planetary Rank 1 to 9." Su Ke strolled through the shop, with Lu Ding guiding him in front and his two Stellar Rank 9 guards following behind.
