The ants were shaken out, and Ke Meng realized the Storage Scarf had a drawback.
Living things could pass through the "gaps," which might lead to neighboring storage compartments or straight outside.
Ke Meng's concern now was whether the Storage Scarf would shake its contents out.
If it did, it would be useless.
He hoped it wasn't that sort of item.

In short, the level and serial number weren't absolute standards, only references.
He clicked "4-0485" and immediately saw the name Storage
