Storage Ring

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Color: Pitch-black when first awarded 5.
• Placement: Worn on Su Ye’s left index finger 23.
• Fusion effect: Incoming rings become streams of silver light, and an intricate spatial pattern briefly flashes across the original ring’s plain surface 23.

Abilities & Functions

Spatial Storage

• Stores nonliving objects in an internal space; living things cannot be placed inside 5.
• Operates through Su Ye’s thoughts, allowing him to store equipment and inspect the contents with his consciousness 5 23 47.
• Accommodates bulky objects, including two large supply boxes and entire fuel dispensers 24 32.
• Has finite capacity. Its original space, even combined with his vehicle’s cargo area, cannot hold the supplies earned through his early weapons trades 11 13.

Frozen Internal Time

• Time inside the storage space is permanently frozen 5.
• Cooked meat neither cools nor spoils while stored; roasted Mutant Wild Boar meat remains steaming when retrieved the next morning 13 15.

Fusion Upgrades

• Compatible spatial storage equipment can be fused into the existing ring to expand its capacity 23.
• Li Xin explains that bringing another Storage Ring close initiates merging; Su Ye’s first documented fusion produces a system confirmation prompt 22 23.
• The two 10 m³ rings used in that fusion add their full combined capacity, expanding his original 10 m³ space to 30 m³ 23.
• Spare rings must successfully drop before they can be used. Delivery groups sometimes yield fuel instead of an intended ring 28 41.

History

Su Ye receives the Storage Ring directly from the system after passing the initial trial. It is separate from the Workbench dropped by Zhou Chang. He immediately equips it and stores the Workbench, Desert Eagle, Scale-Breaking Blade, and one hundred units of fuel before beginning his journey 5.

His mass-produced hand crossbows soon earn more supplies than the ring and vehicle can accommodate. He temporarily leaves excess resources in the trading interface, but unwithdrawn goods are destroyed after three days. When Spark Operation makes contact, he identifies storage expansion as his most urgent need 11 13 16.

Great Xia makes Storage Ring deliveries one of its three principal support priorities, alongside vehicle Function Modules and attribute-boosting equipment. Li Xin’s group supplies the first successful expansion, allowing Su Ye to withdraw his accumulated goods; later groups repeatedly provide additional rings 19 22 23 28 33 43 50.

Notable Uses

• Fuel reserves: Holds ninety thousand units of fuel as Su Ye leaves for the abandoned gas station 29.
• Trading stock: Stores twenty thousand Simple Bandages withheld for future sales 34.
• Salvage: Carries a restroom door, a damaged cash register, five broken fuel dispensers, and one intact dispenser stripped from the gas station 32.
• Combat simulation materials: Preserves monster remains, including teeth, a venomous snake’s poison gland, and animal skins, which Su Ye searches for samples to register in the Training Room 47.
• Vehicle upgrade materials: Holds iron, copper, rubber, glass, and other resources; successive vehicle upgrades visibly deplete these stocks 48.
