The next morning, at dawn.
Old Jack had gotten up unusually early to prepare breakfast for Su Yun and Tang San.
Clearly, he knew the two of them planned to leave that day and head to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt a Spirit Beast.
At first, when Su Yun had told him about it, he had refused, thinking it was too dangerous.
Although the two of them had the talent to become Soul Masters, they were still just children.
It was only after Su Yun took out the Shadow Scythe and chopped down several trees right in front of Old Jack that he changed his mind.
Having the talent to become a Soul Master really does make you different from ordinary people!
"Grandpa Jack, you don't have to see us off!
"When we come back, we'll be proper One-Ring Soul Masters!"
"Grandpa Jack, don't worry! I'll take good care of Yun!
"If anyone wants to hurt her, they'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Outside Holy Soul Village.
Su Yun and Tang San waved goodbye to Old Jack.
Watching the two little figures before him, Old Jack seemed to have a thousand things he wanted to say, but when the words reached his lips, they became:
"Have a safe trip, and be careful!"
He was just an ordinary old man, and all he could do for Tang San and Su Yun was offer that one reminder.
After saying goodbye to Old Jack,
Su Yun and Tang San set off once more, sprinting toward Nuoding City.
They had already made a plan: first, they would buy the supplies they needed in Nuoding City, then hire a carriage to take them to the Soul Beast Forest.
Fortunately, Su Yun had some savings. Otherwise, the two of them really would have had to sell their map, study it as they went, and walk all the way to their destination.
But there was one more problem to solve first: where to put the things they would buy.
Anything that didn't come from the system couldn't be stored in the system inventory.
So he would need to get a storage Soul Tool. Su Yun felt a little helpless.
He immediately opened the system panel.
Friendship Value Balance: 17047 After deducting the 14000 needed to buy a Spirit Ring, he had 3047 left. [ Soul Tool Panel ] [ Douluo Peace Cannon Description: One shot can destroy Douluo Planet. (I'm not Little Boy or Fat Man.) Special Price: 1 billion Friendship Value. ] [ Combat Power Scanner Description: Can scan an enemy's information regardless of the level difference, revealing their Soul Power Level and Spirit Skills. (If my combat power is only 800, then his must be at least 10,000.) Special Price: 100 million. ]
Su Yun: ...
Every time he opened the System Mall, it felt like it was telling him: You're broke as hell.
He ignored the Soul Tools displayed above, whose prices were absurd even after the discounts.
Su Yun started searching the listings.
[Storage]
[Jade Purifying Bottle], [Human Seed Bag], [Wishful Universe Bag]...
Just looking at them made his head explode.
[Storage Only][Below 1000]
[Exquisite Pendant
Description: Contains 10 cubic meters of storage space; can only hold inanimate objects. (Bind by dripping blood.)
Price: 1000]
Su Yun took a quick look. The price dropped by 100 for every cubic meter less. The cheapest was a ring with 1 cubic meter of space, priced at 100 Friendship Value. Su Yun thought it over but didn't rush to buy anything. Instead, he opened the Gacha Interface. [Beginner Soul Tool Gacha] The familiar slot machine appeared before Su Yun, along with the equally familiar "Better Luck Next Time." He glanced at the items in the slot machine. The Soul Tools on offer were all kinds of strange. Some were for defense.
[One-time Resist Bracelet
Description: Releases a powerful Repelling Fire Ring that can repel Soul Masters below level 50 within a radius of 50 meters.]
Some were functional.
[Temperature Regulating Umbrella
Description: Automatically regulates the temperature beneath the umbrella when opened.]
And some were for support.
[Soul Power Storage Bracelet
Description: Can be used to expend a Spirit Skill from a Spirit Ring under three hundred years old.]
There were also quite a few storage Soul Tools. Su Yun figured he could try his luck with 500 Friendship Value. It wouldn't matter if he got nothing. After all, this thing was pretty cost-effective, like the Self-Created Soul Skill. As long as he didn't get "Better Luck Next Time," he'd be fine. The main thing was that everything had its use. The only downside was that he could only use whatever he won himself; he couldn't give it to anyone else. As 500 Friendship Value was deducted, Su Yun stared unblinkingly at the slot machine. Soon, five light orbs slowly dropped out. White, white, white, green, purple. !!!!! Purple? Another damn purple? Something was wrong! Very, very wrong. Once or twice would've been one thing, but how many times had this happened now? Damn it, another purple? After a brief moment of shock, Su Yun felt a surge of disdain. It was that damn system's trick again. This was bait. It wasn't afraid of him drawing; it was afraid he wouldn't! Give him a little taste of sweetness, get him hooked on gacha, and eventually he'd become one of those gamblers who thought, *How could I lose every day?* Heh. How could someone as wise and mighty as me fall for that? He'd said 500, so he spent 500. Then he decisively closed the Gacha Interface and checked what he'd won, looking first at the purple Soul Tool.
[High-Grade Gulu Ball (One Use Only)
Description: A capture ball from Roco Kingdom. Throw it at a severely wounded Spirit Beast for a 50 percent chance of capturing it. If it fails, the ball disappears. (Humanoid Spirit Beasts cannot be captured!)]
As he gazed at the purple-and-white Gulu Ball on the system panel, memories long buried began to resurface. He remembered his first level-100 pet, "Xiao Yao Gua Gua." Back then, to level up, he had even downloaded a script to automatically grind monsters. Su Yun shook his head. The past was gone. Looking at the High-Grade Gulu Ball in his hand, he found it pretty useless. Never mind the 50 percent chance. Humanoid Spirit Beasts couldn't be captured, which meant that in a month, he wouldn't be able to catch that top-tier bunny girl baby, would he? Without that option, with his current strength, he couldn't beat the ones he liked, and he didn't like the ones he could beat. It was tasteless to eat, yet a shame to throw away. Su Yun casually tossed it into his inventory. Only then did he look at the green orb. His expression turned strange. Hmm? Another ball?
[Space Ball
Description: From the Black Technology Urban World. Uses space-folding technology and contains 50 square meters of space. (Can only store inanimate objects.)]
Looking at the Space Ball he'd won with 100 Friendship Value, Su Yun felt his resolve harden once more. It really was the damn system's trick. Otherwise, how could something this convenient happen? But it didn't matter. His rational self had already seen through it all. He'd swallow the candy coating and spit the bullet back! Though the candy was a little sticky on his teeth. Looking at the fist-sized, pitch-black Space Ball on the system panel, Su Yun could barely contain himself. Just look at space rings, bracelets, earrings, and belts... It wasn't just ugly; it was inconvenient to carry, too. Was he supposed to stuff it in his pocket? But when he remembered it had only cost him 100 Friendship Value, he felt better. At worst, he could exploit a bug: put things from the outside into the [Space Ball], then put the [Space Ball] into the system. Convenient and safe, with no risk of losing it. Perfect! After happily putting the [Space Ball] into his inventory, Su Yun finally checked the last three Soul Tools, all of white quality.
[Freezer Box
Description: From a parallel urban world. It has a cooling function, and Soul Power can be used to control the temperature inside the box. It can go as low as minus 50 degrees. (Not a refrigerator.)] ```
Damn it!
He'd spent 100 Friendship Value on a fridge. Su Yun felt like he'd taken a massive loss!
